NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR.

The people of Wyoming can congrat-
ulate themselves upon the ~cleanness
of the campaign just brought to a close.
Chairman Burdick conducted the re.

yet gave nothing to the people that he

etc, were met with candor and truth.
fulness and they fell before republican
logic. It cannot be seen where the
democrats gained n vote through any
of their campaign contentious, unless
their Fremont county victory can be at
tributed to the water issue. But this
was insignificant and has no special
bearing upon the state as a whole.
Mr.. Burdick is receiving the congrat.
ulation of republicans all over the
state for the remarkable victory. 1t
had been anticipated hat perhaps the
majoriies for state candidates would
be cut down to some extent, but in
this the democracy was disappointed,

state chairman never loses heart. He

ed as locally beneficial. In fact, it is
hardly probable that anything but To-
cal pride gave him his majority in his
home county.
Taken as a whole, there never has
been a campaign in which there were
fewer ISLANDERS, libels and personal de,
nu%nciations. 1t was n campaign of is
sues, such as they We're, and appeals
to the better Judgment of the people
of the state.
Mr.. Burdick is justly entitled to all
tho credit republicans are now giving
him.

CHANGES IN THE CABINET.

When Theodore Roosevelt became
president in 1901 he inherited the cabi
net of his predecessor. Only two of
its members are in office now. They
are James Wilson, the secretary OF ug
riculture, and Mr.. Hitchcock, the sec,
rotary of the interior. In all the ether
departments there have been n or
more changes, Mr.. Root took the place
made vacant by the death OF John
Hay. Governor Shaw succeeded Ly-
man j. Gage, and is soon to have Mr..
Cortelyou as a successor. Mr.. Taft
followed Mr.. Root as secretary of war,
In the navy department Mr.. Roosevelt
has tried three men-Wiil,am IL.
Moody, Paul Morton. and c. J. Bona,
parte-and is soon to try another
Victor II. Metcalf. When Harry c.
Payne, Mr.. Roosevelt's first appolntee
as postmaster general, died he was
succeeded ad interim by Mr.. Wynne.
Then followed Mr.. George B.. Cortel-
you, who will make way for George
Won l.. Meyer. When Alto ney Gen.
eral Knox resigned because elected to
the senate, Mr.. Moody was transferred
from the navy department. Presently

Here are many changes in five years,
but not an unprecedented lumber
John Tyler, in less than four years
had four secretaries of state, four of
the treasury, five secretaries of war,
and five of the navy. Jackson, in his
eight years, had four secretaries of
state and FIVE of the treasury. The
reasons for the changes in the jackson
and Tyler cabinets are We'll under
stood. 1t is not So easy to explain why
there has been so much instability in
Office or rotation in office, during Mr..
Roosevelts administration.
Some Of the shiftings seem to be
based on a theory of promotion for
merit. Thus, Mr.. CorteIyou, after sery-
ing in two departments of inferior
standing, is to be put in the depart.
ment which stands second in rank
Mr.. Metcalf is to be promoted to the
navy department.
Mr.. Cortelyou has been in charge of
postal affairs about a year and three
quarters, 1t has been assumed that
1t took a capable man somewhat long
er than that to get G thorough grasp
of the complicated affairs of a great
department. According to the old idea
Mr. Cortelyou should be Just about
becoming a thoroughly qualified post

inner workings he knows little. The
same remark applies to Mr.. Bonaparte

only n short time and cannot have
mastered all It's details.
1t may be that Mr.. Roosevelt does
not expect his cabinet officers to IA
miliarize themselves with department
routine, He may think that that can
safely be left TO the more permanent
officers, and hat the heads of depart
n,ents should give their attention only
to matters OF great moment, and es-
pecially those in which he himself
takes a lively interest. 1t is not un.
likely that he has definite ideas as to
the policies which should prevail in
the administration of the financial and
naval affairs of the government, and
is not concerned about the technical
knowledge of secretaries of the reas.
ury and the navy so long as they carry
out his ideas.
1t may be that it is the chief object
Of the president to surround himself
with capable men who are j~udicious
advisers, and that he thinks II a mat
Ter Of secondary Importance to what
particular departments they may be
assigned. He may feel that the good
ense and business knowledge of such
men as TAFT and Cortelyou will be of
.aluo to him and his administration,
no matter what secretaryships they
may fill.
Whatever Mr.. Rooseyelt's idea may
be, 1t is certain that departmental af-
airs have been well managed. There
has been a gain in efficiency. Where
fraud existed it has been detected and
punished. Rotation in office has had
no mischievous consequences.-Chica

Mo Cure for insomnia.

A sufferer from insomnia may work
hard at physical and mental labor, yet
the night coineth when no man can
work. The insomnia, utterly Ia
tigued. falls into a slumber-not a
sound, refreshing, dreamless slumber
but a coma, lethargy, a torpor, born
of fatigue. In a few hours the demon
saws "Awakei" and the
starts instantly into waking with
bright, staring, winkless, ~sleepless
eyes. Is there no cure? None. In
somnia comes with age. You cannot
cure your years. You used to sleep
Yesterday when you were young. Not
poppy, nor mandragora, nor all the
drowsy sirups Of the world can
! cine thee to that sweet sleep which
yesterday tho hadst."-San Francisco

ESTATE OF A MILLION ACRES.
Santa Gertrudes Ranch in Texas Now
Boasts This Area.

By the recent acquisition of a tract
Of 10000 acres Santa Gertrudes
Ranch, in southwest Texas. already
reputed to be the largest estate in the
world owned by a private individual,
was increased to the immense proper
tions of 1000 square miles, or 1885,
900 acres, says Harper's Weekly. AS
an aid to the comprehension of these
dimensions some comparisons may be
found useful. The area of Rhode Is
land. exclusive of the waters of Mar
ragansett bay, comprises 673,92O
acres, or Just a trife more than one
half the area of Santa Gertrudes
ranch. The area of Delaware, exclu-
sive of water, is 1854, 900 acres, or
$500 acres smaller than Santa Ger
trudes. Texas constitutes one-elev-
enth OF the area of the United States;
yet If the Lone Star state were to be
u up into ranches the size of Santa
Gertrudes, there would only be land
enough to make 1872.
Santa Gertrudes ranch was found
ed in 1858 by Capt. Richard King,
a former Mississippi river pilot, who,
with his friend, Capt Miflin Kennedy.
had charge of the transport service
on the Rio Grande which supplied
Gen. Taylor's army during the Mex
lean war. Capt. Kings ambition was
to possess the largest and best con-
Quoted ranch in Texas; but he died
20 wears ago. after accommodating $780,
900 acres. The property was left to
his widow, Mrs. H. NJ. King. who
turned the entire MANAGEMENT over to
her son.in-law, R. ]. kleberg, a law
yer, who was born and brought up
within $50 miles of the ranch. Under
Mr.. Kieberg's management the acre
aga has been increased more than so

There is one way to become famous
in Death valley-that is, to die
near a trail so that ones remains may
be found. For instance, meeting a
man one day; I inquired about the
route, water, etc.
He said: 1.-THE road is plain for ten
miles, whep you'll find a well about
100 yards to the right; the water is
