The field is now open for the nomi-

Several gentlemen have been men

appears to have the greatest strength

the people is Mr.. w. II. Schnitger of

A Plea for Common Sense
A Cheyenne space filler felt himself
called upon to tell of the situation in
the entire southern part OF the state
relative to the storm and stock condi-
lions by the expression that the worst
fears of the stockmen have been real
lied, for the losses are now conceded
to be very heavy Later on in the
same article he places the loss at TWEEN
ty-five to forty sheep to each band of
5000 head on the Red desert. Perhaps
the Righteousness of his story did not
appeal to him. Coyotes will every win
ter destroy that many, yet that figure
following a bad storm gives him the
privilege OF saying hat the losses are
quite heavy" in spite of the fact that
it is only one per cent while lockmas-
tiers expect an average loss every win
ter of from three to five per cent. The
article referred to would not be half
bad were it not for the head lines
which tell of devastation wreaked by
the storm" and the Introductory para,
graph must be intended to send thrills
up the backs of humane society sup,
porters.
Such senseless comment by irrespon'
sible space filters is an outrage. A lit
tie common sense in the news" would

Sinners Alone Need Have Feared Con-

The Rev. Edward Lloyd Jones. a
Manchester, England, minister, tells a
story of his experience in Fenian
days. He was travelling from a Welsh
village to Brecon, and had with him a
strong wooden box filed with heavy
theological books. At Shrewsbury
the detectives who were on the look
out for explosive machines and the
like suspected this heavy box and
word was sent on to Brecon. When
the young minister stepped out of
the train he was astonished to find a
sergeant and several constables
awaiting him. 81 think you have a
box with you said the sergeant.

Teal leave the water with astonish-
ing smartness, and if the shooting is
in brush the gunner is likely to be
reminded of the t~hunderous grouse, by
the way those brown bantams, the
blue-wings, slip out of reach of his
sudden storm of lead. And how they
can go when they discover what their
danger isl l have stood in the cat
tails by a pond at evening when the
teal were coming in to roost and have
seen them burst into a speed, upon de-
tecting me, that required a 2O-foot

JUST MAKING A FRESH START.
Boy Well Knew Bishop Wasn't Near
End Of Sermon.

The late Bishop Eastburn of Massa-
chusetts was a man of very imposing
appearance, and when robed in his big
sleeved canonicals gave the impress
sion of sailing under full canvas. In
the pulpit he had a habit of drawing
himself up at intervals. with chest
raised and head thrown back, which
gave him a very pompous air.
A little boy of Newburyport, not
fully Injured to long sermons, and
wearying under his heavy periods,
mildly suggested to his mother that he
would like to "cut the rest of it," but
she tried to beguile him with the as
surance that the good man was just
ready to stop, when he eagerly re-
piled: ooh, no, mamma, he isn't,
cause he's just bowed hisself up
again."

The decision of the supreme cour in
the Irvine case is certainly in accord
with he universal idea of the people
OF the state. So far as The Republi-
can has heard any expression of opin-
Ion 1t has been to the effect that the
people generally voted for the state
treasurer for a two-year term or to fill
out the unexpired term of Mr. Henry
G. Hay. That appeared to be the un,

was not elected-and that therefore

the unexpired term, could not be elect
ed to a portion of a term that Mr. Hay
did not resign.
