Wyoiniriff's want is women. We want wonieii here, partially toeven up tl. e pi.uhiiion and p.irtially to marry. Our terrltory is Bufferlag more oovvforchoice stylea ol young and mlddle-aged woinen than tbr nnythtng elsn. We rieed thcm ín uil drbartmenta of Industry where w'otneo may be employed, and alió in our bornes and b'y liresides. There are huhdreda of louely pen in Wyoming wlio ure doing welf, flnnnclally, and vrao wöuld willin-iv rush inio iimlriiiuiny il there were enough niatrimony to go around. It Ig tlie saddest RMure of our wide Western country at present Tlie over-populated East, wliere a young man may pay tor ice crean) and oystera for three preliy, girls at a time, ougíit to contnliuttisome of its wealth of girls to tliis desolate land, wliere there is on] c.ni: woman to five or six men, and whtre life is a hol 1 ow mockery. We sometimea wish tbat nature had deugced os for a Ulred girl. Uutead of au editor.so thut wecould have been todependeot. In this country "a hircd girl" is only an)tlier name for afflueiice and financial siahility. Twenty-tive dollars a month and board niaktó the poor, el-inging editor green with envy.

A man live. out half hls duys and at last secures a wite. only to ünd tliat tlie latter part of liiscarcer will bedevoted toseenreioe er'vaut iirl for her. It's touu;h. Lite is too brief to be trifled away in this marnier. One triend of ours, who Ind been reared in luxury, been without a girl for two montlis, und, altliough he has (illcred all kiuds of induceuients, he has been compelled to make tlie beds md do the chamber work, while hia wite ilid the aahiog and cookiug and meals. Let tlie man who never tried to rise at six o'cloek, dress five ehildren iu the subdued light of early niorning, then cook the breaklast, eat it and go down town for a couple of montlis, and he will allow the girl that will work for him the use of bis uprlght piano. Wliy it has arrived at such a stage here in Laramie that when a man asks one of his neighbors if he knows of a servaut girl that he . an get, the inob turns loose at ti i i ii and laughs at him till he wislies he was dead. It is not au uncommon occurrenee for a girl to como West, work at regular wages two or three years and then, as an henv, marry a bloated capitalist and settle ilown. It is a horrible faet that unless sonutliiug is done to prevent the centralization of Capital among the servant girls of VVyoiuing, a revolutiou cannot be avoided.
