' A Hint to the GirU. ; !i lowest parlor game at Tftrfttnle, Wy.T.. where woman suffrage has been eataoli#h*d, was invented by the ladies of that region. The girls sit in one room In a row. with a chair in front of each one. The young men are stationed In another room, and are brought in one by one. Wh*n he comes in the youth chooses his chair .and the young lady behind him blind*his *y*s with a hand­ kerchiefs Then the blaek cook some* In. kisses hlna. and disappears. Th* y*ung man is released, feeling much refreshed and elated, and promptly re* tiros to the other end of the room. His feelings when the next man comes in and is treated to this novel entertain­ ment can be imagined, but they are mitigated by the pleasure of seeing th* otit*r fell*wg undergoing the ex­ periment. As a winter evening amuse­ ment it is one of the most popular in Wyoming. A STINGING INMCT.Hli.NT. TM south n*ed no longer wonder why immigration avoids that .part ol the country. All that is. n*c*ssary to cjear up the most befogged intellect In regard to the subject is a perusal of tli* New York Evening Past and its weekly edition, the Nation. These two papers are making it plain that so long as brutal heaiicide is permitted to exist with Impmrity, the south must suffer the penalty. Her social, political and industrial developments wil! be hope­ less. Who cares to go wher* the life of a man Is held in no higher esteem than that of a cat? The remarkable indif­ ference to its value is not confined to what are called the ignorant, brutal and criminal classes. The flower of southern chivalry entertain th* sams callous sentiment. Men who pride themselves upon their lineage, their refinement and their respectability, ap­ peal without hesitation to the code duello. Feuds between families of high standing are hoi (infrequent. No other way to settle them than a mur­ derous encounter, as fatal as the con­ flicts between th* Montagues and Capu- lets, seems to present itself to the southern mtnd. Who cares to remain where .crimes ar* not punished? The horrible mur­ ders that have been perpetrated in the south have been numerous. Th* per­ petrators are not the benighted negro. His bloodthlrstlness Is confined to sav­ age threats. Beyond them he* seldom goes. It is th* noble soutli«ron who shoots down his antagonist in cold blood. He prates of his honor and wh*u it is touched he pursues his enemy with savage relentlessness. The blood r«- veng* of primitive peoples seems to have got a foothold in the south and public sentiment rather encourages than condemns it. This is the reason that murderers and dualists escape the puuishment that Justice demands. It also accounts for the fact that no *ne has accepted th* Posfs and Nation's offer to publish th* report of any ease where these terrible tragedies are so "deeply deplored" as to result in the hanging of the criminal. Even when arrested and imprisoned, he is net de­ prived of his liberty for any great length of time. Th* nusserous pardons of Governor Blackburn of Kentucky are still fresh in the public memory. The faet may be recalled, that of the forty- nine convicts that Governor Stephen* of Georgia set at liberty during the flist eight weeks of his iucumbeucy, twelve of them were murderers. Civilization can no more flourish In such a community than a rose in • des«rt. W lie re life Is not secure, peo­ ple have to devote more time to its protection than to the arts of peace. The bowie knife and the revolver are under such circumstances of more value than the plow and the hoe. More time will be spent in vindicating honors than raising cotton and sugar cane. What is worse, peoplo com* to take more pleasure in blood-letting than In agriculture. Such a people can never woo Industrialism and enjoy her charms. There is no occasion for the south to get mad at the recital of these facts. The Post and the Nation are not her enemies. They are her friends, because they dare to tell her without malice, her faults and ask her to correct them. Street riots, family feuds, appeal to the code duello, deliberate murders must cease. They are the marks of a disorganised and barbarous society. Those who participate In them must not be encouraged to a course of crime by being accorded immunity from pub­ lic censure or punishment. On the con­ trary they should be punished to th* full extent of th^law. Notwithstanding th* badly drifted roads, a good sized company tn*t Malmau'?
