Correspondence of the Globe-Demo- crat: Detective Henry Kolb, who has constant supervision of the white house at Washington, is one of the best posted men on cranks and their pecu- iarities in this country. He can tell a great many new and interesting stovies of his experience at Washington, but, as he is a quiet, modest man, it is ravely that he can be induced to talk on the subject. It was Kolb who first pointed out Guiteau to Secretary of State Blaine and warned him that the future assas- sin of President Garfield was a danger- ous crank. The detective allowed him- self to be interviewed by a Jersey friend the other day, however, and what he said is worth making public. Referring to the subject of cranks, he said most people suppose they are shab- bily dressed creatures, with long, un- kempt hair and bristling beard. This belief he characterized as veing far from the truth. One cluss of crauks is of the above duucriy[flun. but there are nu- merous classes. The poorly dressed, un- kempt cranks are usually from country places, They are poorsand come to for the land-owners. There sostas have been an opidemic raging in Wy oming to secure this supposed to be worthless land, and then Smro seems ix have been another epidemic to get ri of it, not by returning it to the .govern« ment like so much conscience moneyy but by disposing of whatsoever rights they supposed they had obtained to it, to individuals, companies and corporgs tions who were wdlmg t0 assume l‘l risks for the sake nlg tting immediate possession of the lands,” Governor Moonlight, the further he traveled, grew more familiar with this, By the time he had finished his trip he was thoroughly disgusted. “There seems to have been,” says he, “‘a senti- ment that all you can get out of the gov- ernment you have a rightto get,and not he over particularabout it. There seems to be also another sentiment, that, as much of the land is of little value, the government ouyht to be glad to get the money for it, and not be too particular and exacting about residence, cultiva- tion, reclamation and timber culture.” But things are changing now.

The fellows with-a week’s growth of nappy haiv and beard, and wearing clothing faded by the storms of many seasons, could be driven away like an old woman ‘‘shooing” chickens in many instances. The for- mer, however, stood on their dignity and it was frequently necessary to use forco to get them off the exectuive premises. “One afternoon, during General Grant's first term,” said Mr. Kolb, *“‘a tall, stylishly-dressed man, about I'ort‘\'- five years of age, came to the main door and in a very dignificd manner de- mauded to see the president. We in- formed him that the president was not receiving that day. ‘Ah,” he rejoined with the utmost sang froid, ‘General Grant is always at home to republican members of congress.” It was during the session of congress, and believing that the caller was what he represented himself to be, I pointed out the way to the reception-room up-stairs. He quickly disappeared up the velvety stairway, and we resumed our conversa- tion. Pretty soon there was a commo- tion at the head of the steps, and the usher up there u.nf out: ‘Come up here, Kolb, quick!” I bounded up-stairs and into General Grant's office, and there was the congressman gesticulat- ing wildly, talking loudly, anp follow- the country. There hus been two bi cattle shows this year, and in each (fi them was found the trotting track so familiar to frequenters of the Massa- chusetts festivals, The Wyoming horse, the governor says, is a peculiarly hardy creature. *‘I have never,” he adds, ‘‘seen a Wyoming-bred horse with poor feet.” There isa good deal doing n the.way of soda, and something in glass making. Window glass is the sort turned out, and the one factory in the Territory is the only one west of Rock Island, Illinois. The bed of sand which supplies the factory is perfectly white and apparently inexhaustible. There is a little conl mjning in Crook county. but the oil field is perhaps the rvichest in the territory. There are wells in the Shoshone basin, in the Rat- tlesnake busin and near Powder river. A syndicate has been organized in Chi- cago and Milwaukee to work the fleld. The value of the deposits in this region may readily be calculated when 1t is observed that the Standard Oil company at once sprang to grasp all their chances. The metal chiefly found in the Wy- oming mines is copper. Only one mine had been worked at all extensively at the time the governor took his buggy ride. ‘Theone great trouble in the mining devuln{)muuls of Wyomiag.” he explains, “is the cost of living.

The lands under the canals for nearly fifty miles are crossed by the old “South Pass trail,” famous in the days of Oregon und California travel, and it is a significant commentary, indeed, on modern progress and civization that tho old ‘‘South Pass trail,” famous heretofore only for its record of toiling, travel and desert privation, is soon to be the center of a region which wijll blossom as the rose.
