Artesiaa Wells.

Denver, Col, Aug. 9.--Commiss;oner
Horace Berch, who was appointed by
the agricultural department at Washing

Hall, the originator Of the artesian well
bill, and several railroad officials. The

ST. Louis, Sept. 29.-Gov. Crittenden
entered the political canvass in this state
yesterday, and made speech at Rich
mond in which he called special attention
to the growing power and encroachments on
the rights of the people by corporations,
and particularly to the stupendous wealth
and influence of Jay Gould. He enumer-
ated the reputed interests of Mr.. Gould
in this and other states, and after
marking out the danger of building up
suchg and powerful corporations he
said: "The time is rapidly approaching
when it is to be determined which is strong
est, the people or corporations. As long as
the people are in power the country is safe
but not so if corporations displace the
power of the people. Corporations seem
to think they are omnipotent; that they
can make and unmake senator's, representa-
tives, judges and muzzle the press, the voice
of the people. But it issnot safe
for them to venture too far in that be-
lief. The people intend to rise above all
corporations and assert their power over
them, and the people of Missouri will not
be behind this event. I shall do all within
my power to protect the, great interests of
these corporations in Missouri as long as
they are subordinate to the laws and well
