WILL THE POST RETRACTY

The people of Hidalgo county
are 20 be congratulated on the fact
that they were unanimously in
favor of the best man for governor.
They voted as the people of all
Texas should have voted.-Fort
Worth Telegram.
The methods employed to bring
about absolute unaninity in the
choice of the voters of the county
referred to will hardly appeal to
voters in other sections of the state
as being worthy Of imitation. The
Telegram to the contrary notwith-
standing. Houston Post.
Thus does the Post attempt to
perpetuate its false charge against
the democrats and officials of Hi
ialgo county. The official returns
long ago showed that Hidalgo
county did not cast a solid vote for
Colquitt, but gave a scattering vote
to all four of the gubernatorial
candidates, thus proving beyond a |
doubt that the Posts insulting in
situation that the Hidalgo officials
had committed the grave offense
of printing illegal official ballots is
absolutely unfounded. VIII the
Post do justice by making editorial
retraction Of its charges? The
people of Hidalgo county and the
lower Rio Grande generally await |
a reply.

SAW FACE OF WASHINGTON
When Body of the Father of His Country
Vas Removed from its First Tomb.

j John Lane, so years old, of al,
Fifteenth street, northwest, is the
only man now living who can boast
that he has seen the face of George
Washington.
When Mr.. Lane says he is only
80, and adds the remarkable state
ment that he has seen the face OF
the Father of His Country, his &C
quaintances look askance, until he
explains that Washington had been
dead many years when their meet
ing took place.
When the great general died,
December IA, 1899, his body, clad
in its continental uniform, was en-
balmed and placed in a leaden cof-
fin, which was laid in the old vault
of the Washington family at Mount
Vernon. Washington's will left
full instructions for his burial. The
old vault became more and more
damp and sodden, and the public
minded felt that it was an unfit
place for the body of the nations
hero to rest.
The removal of the body in May,
1884, from the old vault to the
tomb which it now occupies was
made the occasion of a ceremony
which was attended by many dis
tinguished statesmen. The stage
coach in which they made the trip
from Washington to Mount Yer
non started from the old Indian
Queen hotel, on the site of the
present Metropolitan. In the crowd
which had gathered to watch the
departure of the party was Swear
old John Lane, who had played
truant in order to see what was 60
ing on. The little fellow climbed
upon the drivers seat while the
coach was waiting for its distin-
guished passengers, and the driver
good-naturedly permitted him to
go along.
Mr.. Lane never tires of telling
the incidents of that memorable |
day. The statesmen, most of whom
no doubt rather dreaded the ordeal, |
we're surprised and relieved to find
he body in state of excellent pre-
One of the gentlemen lifted the
BOY up to look at the body, of
which the face alone was visible.
Mr.. Lane says that the face was
perfectly preserved except for a
mall round discoloration on one
heck. 1t was a noble face with its
'atrician lines, the features bear
ng a great resemblance to the we'll
Known portraits of Washington.
Mr.. Lane was for many years a
grocery dealer in the
ity and has been actively identified
With some of its greatest move
nents. He retains all his interest
Il current events, in spite of his
dvanced age, but he likes best to
ak of the past and of the great
men who filled the public eye in

and uuarmed men without provo
cation. THE HERALD hopes that
the men of the Twenty-hfth at
Fort Brown fully realize this. That
they have in their midst perhaps a
score of red.handed, -blooded
murderers-fends who have wan
tonly used arms, entrusted to them
as protectors of the people for the
purpose of terrorizing and slaugh-
tering innocent people-they must
realize. The question now is-will
the soldiers of the Twenty-ffth har-
Dor these murderous fends, and
thus perpetuate this black stain
upon their name, or will they do
all in their power to give the crimi-
nails up to justice, and thus prove
themselves worthy to be called
brave soldiers, and OF the trust i'm
posed in them as protectors and
defenders of the American people?
Will they be content to harbor
these murderers in their midst, to
eat and sleep and be thrown in
daily contact with such black-heart-
ed, cowardly villains? II is to be
hoped not.
That the guard or duty knew
of the departure of that murderous
band from the post Monday night
cannot be doubted. That the ser
geants who reported all guns in
their racks and clean, Immediately |
after the raid, lied and didso to pro-
tect the murderers IS undoubtedly |
true. These men without doubt had |
guilty knowledge of the crime, and |
are thus accessories to it. Will |
they be given the protection of the
United States government, or will
they be delivered up to justice?
Will their comrades help to cover
up their crime? There are without
doubt many men at Fort Brown
today who are fully aware of the
IDENTITY of these criminals. By re-
using to give them up and thus
them, these men be-
,ome accessories to this foul deed.
The entire command at Fort Brown
should realize this fact. Will they
10 their part and clear their own
lame, and that of the Twenty fifth
Infantry, or will they content
themselves to share the guilt of the
nurderers by protecting them, and
arnish the laurels won by them in I
santiago de Cuba, by labelling them
elves as a band of cOwardIy mur-
ierers? The blood of the innocent :
ries out to these men to avenge
his crime, and to prove themselves

That the majority of the negro
soldiers of the Twenty-hfth In
fantry stationed at Fort Brown are
good and honest men, it IS but just
TO assume. That they in common
with the white officers at the post
and the citizens of Brownsville
must hold in adherence the per
petrators of the foul crime commit
ted by some of their comrades in
this city on Monday night, cannot
be doubted. They must realize that
should this crime go unpublished
Il will blacken the good name of
the Twenty-fifth Infantry-a name
which still shines with the lustre
of valor shown aud victory won in
those bloody fights in Cuba. The
negro soldiers of the Twenty-hfth
Infantry have enjoyed much honor
for their brave conduct in Cuba.
But now their laurelS are in dan
ger of being eternally furnished by

cons upon defenseleSS women and

The Sober Afterthought-

The Sober Afterthought-
This Is how the Fremont Republi-
can feels about the matter after the
| wild orgy is over:
Election has come and gone, the
campaign fanfare which serve only to
confuse. mislrad and distract the voter,
has left him to his personal meditation
and self examination, to settle with
lis own conscience whether he has ex-
ercised that highest privilege which
the American citizen enjoys,-the cleo
tive franchise-and has voted for the
best interest of the state, county, town
and himself.
Fremont county, normally republi-
can, cast its vote against Senator War
rem, by electing a solid democratic del
egation to the legislature to oppose
HIM, Notwithstanding he will succeed
himself by the largest vote that he
ever received, as he well deserves.
Did you who voted against him act
wisely in view of the fact that you ex.
pect so much of him? The man that
once has prevented the abandonment
of Fort Washable, and may or may not
dc it again; the man who has procured
q federal building site for Lander, and
may or may not procure an appropria.
ton to construct the building. VIII

Wyoming is getting a lot of mighty
good advertising. The railroads are
exploiting its u throughout the
east, men who have settled at Wheat
land, along the North Platte and under
the Shoshone project are telling their
friends back home what there is out
here and much attention is being drawn
to the state by reason of the publica-

being made upon the various large
reclamation projects. Again, men of
science come here, look us over and
marvel at the fact that the state has

Wyoming is now getting follows, being
clipped from the editorial page OF the
Denver Republican of the 10th inst:
Prof Regis ~Chauvenet, former presi-
dent of the Colorado state school of
mines, having recently returned from
a visit to wyoming, where he had gone
to examine certain mining properties,
remarked that 1t seemed to be unjust
that Wyoming should have a popula-
ton of only a little over one hundred
thousand, when its natural resources
fitted it to become a great and populous
commonwealth.
1T is a natural reflection with any
n who is well informed in regard to
what there is to build upon. Wyoming
contains such enormous supplies of
coal and iron that these alone would
suffice to make it a great state II it
received proper recognition at the
hands OF h~ome-seekings and investors.
In addition, it has a vast area of oil
bearing rock which should some day
produce an enormous quantity Of oil.
Speaking of one river system, Prof.
Chauvenet remarked that 1t contained
water enough to irrigate a country as

SOME OF THE WORK.

The forthcoming session of the legis-
lature promises to be prolific of legis-
1ation, II current rumors count for any
thing. This legislation will be upon
subjects of great Importance to the
state. First among the bills of extraor-
binary moment to the people viii be
the depository measure, with the ap-
~portionment bill a close second. There
will be several bills relating to insur-
ance matters. following the recommen-
dations of the Armstrong report and
the New York laws. These bills will
be presented this winter to he legisla-
lures Of twenty-seven states, in order
that the insurance laws of the nation
may be as nearly uniform as possible,
Another bill Of interest will be the uni
form divorce bill, which is being pre-
pared by the national divorce congress,
1t will also be introduced in all the leg
islatures holding sessions this winter.
II It becomes a law Divorces from
Colorado will be deprived of the pleas
ure of coming to Wyoming to have the
ruptial knot retied. The present plan
of making assessments is being severe
ly criticised and it is more than prob
able that a bill will be introduced pro-
viding for one county assessor instead
of district assessors, as at present
IL is believed that a fair salary should
be required to be paid to a man to be
elected by the people and that he
should be required to give his entire
time to the duty of assessing property
II is believed that he should begin his
work the first day of January Instead
of the first of April and that he should
keep everlastingly at it all the year
through. With increased powers 1t Is
thought that such an officer could be OF
great value. Revenue laws will also be
looked into to considerable extent,
with the view of getting a more equal
assessment among the different classes
Of property. At the present time some
property is assessed as low as b pei
cent, while other property nays on 8
valuation of 100 per cent. There vii
always be inequality, but that is nc
reason why Wyoming should not make
a strenuous endeavor to get somewher.
near the fair thing.
From what The Republican has been
able to learn, the legislature will be
away above the average in the matter
OF capacity for doing first-class work.
There are many old members in both
houses and some new ones with both
brains and the power to use them. At
tentiop will be given to Governor
Brooks, who has now had two years
experience in the executive office and
who has some good ideas about legis-
lation that would be extremely bene-
fetal to the state. His message will
been endorsed by a vote that was much
closer to unanimity than his vote of
two years ago. he will doubtless feel
that 1t is incumbent upon him to make
a record that will stand for all time as
a clean, honorable, progressive state
administration-an administration with
force and a show OF the square deal
policy in every action.
The Republican predicts four years
of mighty good work not only in the
legislature and the governors office,
but in all the departments of the state
government. +,
