Dollars and Sense.

Sometimes an advertising agency in
the east sends us a proposition which
shows a style of wild. rash liberality
which cannot be conductive to thrift
and prosperity.
One of these concerns the other day
made a proposition TO us to run a
quarter-column ad. of a preparation
which would made whiskers grow on
a meerschaum pipe. The ad. was to
run in the daily and weekly one year.
and copies of both papers were to be
sent to the agent. During that time
$3.50 worth of local notices were to be
inserted also.
The whole thing. at our rates, would
have figured VI about $500. and the
princely sum OF $50. less thirty-three
and a third per cent. the charges of the
agency, was lavishly offered.
or course We want to encourage the
healthy growth of new and attractive
styles of whiskers in Wyoming. We
want to see a whisker industry spring
up here on the frontier that will rival
the crops of older and more civilized
countries. but We cannot herald the
glad tidings of whisker balm all over
the United States and southern New
Jersey just for the pure and innocent
pleasure Of seeing a picture in our pa
per day after day Of a man with a
beard on him like a buffalo overcoat.
Whatever will forwar1 the interests
Of our young territory in any way we
hope to assist SO long as We can do so,
and still obtain enough to pay freight
on sight drafts and lead pencils. But
We cannot wear out our young life try
ing to inaugurate a tropical growth of
w%hiskers, just for the satisfaction of
being called a philanthropist, with our
toes sticking out through our boots.
We want to seethel ver-pad, the Vim
egar bitters and Moustache Promoter
industry in this country reach a degree
Of prosperity which will be the envy
and admiration of older states, but we
desire also to obtain a handsome COM
petence and to acquire that amount Of
arrogance and grub which wealth and
position yield.
We hope We will be forgiven for this
selfish and mercenary spirit, but it has
obtained the mastery over us, and we
are the willing slave Of a wild, IN
comfortable desire to revel in one shirt
while the other Is in the wash.-Bill

NOW IN THE
NORTHWEST TERRITORY

John Sigman, a member Of the po-
lice force Of this city, has just received
a letter from his brother, Z. E. Sigman.
written at Calgary, N. W. T. Mr.. Sig
man notes the safe arrival in that city
Of himself and family, and that they
are delighted with what they have
seen already. Calgary is a city of 1000
people and is filling up rapidly with
newcomers, many being able to find
nothing better to live in than tents.
However, as the weather is ideal. this
is not a hardship. MI. Slgman wrote
that he was preparing to go to the
country, leaving Mrs. Sigman and the
boys at Calgary. As there are four
teen hotels in the place. there was
some difficulty in making choice, fol-
lowing the old Missouri saying that
"if you go to one you'll wish you had
gone to another"
The country about Calgary is devot-
ed to stock growing and not [ o agri-
culture. He will not locate, he says,
until he has had an opportunity Of
looking about a bit. All are well pleas
ed, SO far, with the country as they

VICTORY COMPLETE.

The final outcome of the and legis-
lation in this session of congress is
highly satisfactory to the people OF
Wyoming. Our d%egelation has led the
fight against repeal from the very first
and at times it looks as though the bat
tie was a hopeless one.
In the upper house Senator Clark led
off, making one Of the best speeches of
the session against the attitude of the
hired railroad lobby. He it was who
first openly charged on the floor of the
senate that such a lobby existed. His
statement IA challenged by Senators
Patterson and Gibson, but he afterward
made good. Senator CLARK is a mem
Der of the senate public lands commit
tee, of which Senator Hansbrough is
chairman. and was largely instrumental
in preventing a favorable report on the
bill providing for the repeal of the des-
ert act, the communication clause of the
homestead act and the timber and
stone act.
1t was on this repeal bill that Sena-
tor Warren made one of the most not
ople SpSStleS ever IHdNt Ill Vic Stlluit.
It was an Illustrated address, eight or
ten large pictures of farm scenes in
the vicinity of Wheatland being used
with telling effect. These pictures
were subsequently used in the Con
gressional Record, it being the second
time that halftone pictures have APP
peared in that staid and illustrious
journal.
Bythetimethe repealers had finished
their round with Senators Warren and
Clark they were so frazzled that all
they had left was the Hansbrough bill.
providing for the repeal of the timber
and stone act. And right here Con-
gresham Mondell took up the fight.
He announced that he was unalterably
opposed to the repeal of the act and
would fight the repealers to a finish.
When George H. Maxwell was before
his committee, he questioned him SO
closely that he was compelled to admit
the existence of a lobby in the employ
Of a number Of railroads. fully substan-
tiatlng the truth of all the charges
made by Senators Clark and Warren
on the floor of the senate. The revela-
lions brought out weakened the cause
Of the repealers to such an extent that
Mondell was finally able to hang all
their legislation up for the session,
leaving the land laws practically as
they stood at the opening Of the ses-
sion.
When the battle was the warmest.
Mr. Maxwell announced that 1t was now
his purpose to openly fight all the laws
sought to be repealed and that he
would exert the entire influence of his
him mad to think he had been bafied
at every turn. In the future. however,
1t Is not certain he will have behind
him the railroads which have hitheto
put up the money. They have been
chipping in with the alleged under
standing that Maxwell was working for
the promotion Of irrigation in the arid
states, not for the repeal OF laws that
have furnished more than half the re-
clamation money and done so much
for the development of the arid region.
1t is no improbable that the railroads
will refuse to lend further aid to this
dark-lantern scheme.
But no matter what the future mny
bring forth, the present is full of glory
for the men who succeeded in relegat-
ing Maxwell and his deep laid repeal
nlans to the rear.

Upon the beach the %gladdened babes

The gartersnake will spy
And break the record as she leaves
The woodland, on the fly
Ere long the lover and his love,
When twilight falls. will stroll
Where they may be alone and where
Soul may commune with soul.
Unmindful of the flight of time
They'll saunter down the road.
And she will split the welkin when
She steps upon a toad. -Kiser
