Why" said the editor, "the bill is con
trary to all the means used by Pendletor
to elevate himself to political power. Il

"Will the Democrats nominate Tilden ?''
''No, don't think they will. Tilden is
dead, physically. While he is actually
alive, it Is only in sentiment. There is no
substance. l see," continued the editor.

As to the next national Democratic con-
vention Mr.. Pulitzer thinks it will be held
either in Chicago or Cincinnati, with the
chances in favor of the former city.
TILDEN's ALTER EGO.
Talking of Tilden reminds your CORE
spondent that in New York yesterday Gen.
Tom Ewing told something of interest
concerning the old man. Ewing is now
living at Yonkers, and frequently sees
Tilden, oftentimes two and three times a
week. "a year ago." said Ewing, she was
looking badly, appeared to be in wretched
health. He is now looking wonderfully
improved. Wherever he goes Col. Green
seems to be with him. 1t does not, to the
casual eye, appear that Green is about by
preconcerted arrangement, but wherever
Tilden is he happens to be on hand"
COLORADO ARTEsIAN WELLS.
The department of agriculture is not
making encouraging progress with its
artesian wells in Colorado. The land along
the water course has been so generally taken
up that the department concluded to try
the experiment of making lands back from
the streams desirable by means of artesian
wells. These we're intended primarily to
supply water for cattle ranches, but they
were also to aid in irrigation. Last fall
two wells were contracted for. Work has
been done on only one. This is about 113
miles east Or northeast from Denver. The
contract is for 1000 feet. The commits
sioner of agriculture has just received in
formation that depth Of 1,O4O feet has
been reached and water been found, but it
only rises 700 feet. This leaves it more than
800 feet below the surface, so that in its
present condition the we'll is valueless.
Work will proceed, however, unless the
contractors, who are losing money owing
to difficulties encountered, throw up IL e
job.
SORGHUM SUGAR.
Commissioner Loring is determined to
give sorghum fair chance, and, as soor as
the season is far enough advanced, he is
going to plant sixty acres of it near this
city. He has got his machinery all ready,
and is going to make another effort to get
good sugar from the sorghum juice at re-
munerative rates. The removal of Mr..
Collier, lately chemist of the department,
and the appointment of Prof. Riley, as his
successor, is attributed to sorghum. Col
lier has for year or more refused to
speak to the commissioner, and finally the
commissioner concluded that it would be
convenience to have a chemist that he
could talk with. Collier had the LIE Due
theories about sorghum, and got support
last fall from the Academy of Sciences.
DR.. Loring had other theories about sor-
ghum, and so Collier cut him.
