1t is interesting to note that the
statistics of the National Association
of State Universities and the twelfth
census show that the University of
Wyoming has more students in pro-
portion to its population than any 9th.
er university west of the Mississippi,
except Utah. In Utah there is one
student in the university to every 291
people in the state. In Wyoming the
proportion is n to 312; in California.
1:349; Nebraska, 1:365; Colorado,
1:4OS, and on down the list, until in
Kansas the proposition is 1:1,017; in
Illinois, 1892, and in Alabama and
New Mexico, 1:2,170. Sometimes we
think our number of students Is small,
but when compared with other univer.
stiles, and in relation to the popula.
ton of the state, we are not so small
after all.

Sluicing is the cheapest way to move

dearly secured. To complete the

TO PREVENT MOBs.

Three very reassuring and encourag- ing things ,apDe''cd at Mnntt.' m-ry. Alabama, following the gathering of a mob bent on lynching the negro assail- ant of a ten -yedr-old white girl Fri day evening: CD The negroes of the city met promptly, denounced the crime and offered to do everything in their power to bring the criminal to speedy Justice (2) The officer in charge of the county jail courageously arrested ani placed in a cell loud mo ed asitator in the mob who attempted to deliver an incendiary speech. and (3) a large delegation of the best citizens repaired to the jail and offered the sheriff their support and services in ease they were needed to prevent mob violence.
 These are some cures for mob vio- lence: The active cooperation of ne groes themselves with the officers of the law; courageous and fearless off cers and a patriotic citizenship that Is willing to throw itself in the breach for the maintenance of law and the protection or society against the mob and anarchy.-Chattanoo Times.
 In addition to this the negro has been tried. plead guilty and is serving a sentence of twenty years in the peni- tentiary. the heaviest penalty the law allows for attempt to assault.

ALL POLITICS.

The Butte (Mont.) Inter- Mountain, says
 The New York negro vote being a desirable acquisition. the Republican campaign managers Tn that State have issued their periodical twaddle con In other States where the negro vote IS large, other politicians will follow the example. petition, prepared by the Republican Club of New York City and forwarded to President Roosevelt requests the appointment of a com mission of impartial citizens" to ga- ther the facts and report on the prac- ticability of any action in any de, e. "amelioraing the present conditions of hardship, injustice or persecution in regions where there is large popula- tion deprived of their civil and political mote and insure the enjoyInent of all this populations civil rights"
 The Republicans in the North rarely fail to get up something of the kind just before an election, and always do it for the effect they expect 1t to have on the negro vote. That vote in New York, as in some other States, is valuable asset which the Republicans claim as their own. Any indifference shown by them just about this time each two years to the colored man and brother might result in the loss of Congressman, and that is calamity they are careful to guard against. Hence, the leaders of the party coddle the negroes and make them believe that the rights of all men, including colored votes. are among the dearest things to the Republican heart. After the election is over these same solicit ous friends Of the negro-and his bal lot-forget him until another election rolls around. It is a kind of serial story with them.
 AS our contemporary reminds the ag- itators. President Mckinley recom- mended that such an investigation be had; Roosevelt recommended it on at least two occasions, and bills come up before each Congress having such ob- ject. but nothing comes of any of it. and it is not likely to. As The Inter- Mountain says the Southern race problem must be solved in the South, probably by the Southernefs. NO Ncrtherner, unless for long period a resident of the South, is qualified to do it. The North as whole knows that the Southern whites. like those of the North, never will tolerate negro political domination. The unrestricted enjoyment of the franchise by the me- gro would in many States mean that domination. Right or wrong, this is truth"
 Yes, that is the truth, and all the discussions of it that could be carried on till the crack of doom, will not change the facts. Republican leaders | in the North may prate and crate for | political effect as much as they choose, but the great majority of them know that their interference will do no good, and most of them do not expect to ac- complish anything by their talk. It Is all politics.

The Wives of Politicians.

In politics it pays to nave a wife. Perhaps it pays in any calling. It Is certainly a good thing in pugilism and ogist. makes 1t general when he says. '"rhe mental conditions attending con- jugal love are the best possible for human achievement" Tne eagerness with which septuagenarian, octogena- rian, nonogenarian and centenarian statesmen take unto themselves a bride proves that they realize her po- litical availability as we,s as her gem eral recommendations. Men with a dash of opportunism in their makeup marry nowadays Tor political effect. They welcome the publication of inter- views with their better halves. Tn the stress of a bitter campaign, sometimes the only kindly and apprcciative words they get anywhere come m these inter- views from inside the family; possibly the politician writes them himself. A poster of the candidates wife may be his most effective campaign document; it proves that somebody who knows him well is able. nevertheIess. to stand for him.
 It is not without significance that in the administration of the only bache- Tor President the country mas ever had, that remained bachelor until his term was up, the republic broke in twain and nearly went to smash. There Is only one instance in our political his- tory where 1t served an ambitious man not to have a wife. That man was Van Buren, who, being widower. was Ea ton a friendliness which was impos- sibie to the other members of Jack sons cabinet. they having wives with social standards of their own. His attitude won "Old Hickory's" powerful gratitude. and by and by the Ameri- can people made their Leading Wid- over President

According to reports given out by tn

According to reports given out by the government. the present years corn crop may we'll be called "a bumper" The governments estimates place it at two billion, seven hundred and fifty million bushels. It is impossible for the mind to grasp the meaning Of such figures by reading them. The entire population of the earth is roughly es- tinated at one billion, five hundred million. Taking this as correct. the corn crop of the United States alone would furnish a bushel and fve-sixths of a bushel to each human being on the globe. It would give about thirty three bushels to each man. woman and child of our own population, It is considerably the largest crop ever made in the United States. and it really seems that hog and hominy" should be plentiful for another year, especially when we take into account the vast amount of other eatables grown his year. We can supply the world with corn dodgers.

From some points of view it is a great thing to be q Kaiser. Germany has one who is largely law unto him. self. Recently the German grand mo gull pulled a flower from the grave of a soldier in the cemetery. This was a violation of law, but what of 1t? Did the officers lay violent hands on him. tumble him into Black Maria and make him stand before magistrate: Nor much they didn't. but the law must be vndicated and they were not long in finding victim. One of the Hamburg newspapers mentioned and criticised the Kaiser's act and the edi- tor got ten months in prison for lest ma ajestie, we suppose they call il there. The dissertation of the soldiers grave was atoned for by another man. Great is law, in Germany.
