is hot at Wichita. 1t is because the

will make an enemy of him.

The Australian ballot system has
proved very satisfactory to the Republi-
cans down in Covington, KY, in its
first trial. Not only did they elect their
cadidate for mayor at the recent election,
the first time in twenty-five years, but a
contest by the Democratic candidate,
which called for a recount of the ballots
cast disclosed larger majority for the
Republican than was given by the first
count. and also showed a majority for a
Republican candidate for alderman who
was at first reported to be defeated.
Re-counts are hazardous things to the
defeated, as a good many cities of the
country have reason to know in their
experiences in the matter of census
enumeration.

The Colorado Forest Fires.


Those who are unfamiliar with the pine-clad
slopes of the Rocky mountains can have but lit
tie conception of the destruction wrought by Q
fire which passes through these forests. The
ground is covered to q depth of foot or more
with the pitchy accumulatioDs Of csntu-
ries of forest growth. Pine needles, cones,
dead branches and the resinous trunks OF
fallen srees form a forest floor that catches
fire like finder and burns like furnace. A
spark from campfire, pipe or cigarette may
ignite the forest ioor, which may smolder for
hours or days before bursting into fame. This
fame once started the fire moves rapidly
before the wind, constantly finding as it moves
along new food in the debris upon the ground.
The foliage of the living evergreen trees bruins
as readily as hay soaked in kerosene OIL Each
ire as the fire touches it becomes huge torch,
which flares up for q moment and then goes out,
bet in that moment the trees life has been de-
slroyed, and the thousa ID trunks OF the forest
are left to stand for years. black monuments Of

correspondent writing the Mining and Scfen-

biiities: at is needless to say the region has
not been prospected for the simple reason that
other parts of the globe present more accessi-
bic aud open field for the prospector's inspec-
ton. Here the great FIR and cedar forests are
indeed dark and dismal It il hard labor to
ascend these mountains, and. owing
to the almost exclusive covering
of the mountains with drift and
soil, Is is. as you can imagine, hard
country to prospec-. The outcrops being OBJ
scured by superficial deposits, it requires
skilled workmen to find mines in this section.

ever, and good mines have already been found.

port from Saratoga. New YorE, last Sum

day previous. This is a case in which the
most pronounced agnostic or atheist can

the reported proceedings.

ties" II the Republican party remains true
to its birth and history for the first ten or If
teen years OF its life it will rest its claim to
popular confidence upon fidelity TO its sacred
inheritance of individual freedom. the free
thoughts of the free soul. and not resolve
itself into political union. az Mr.. clarkson
advises.

been slngularly slow in reading the lesson so
well illustrated By Its opponent. II some Dem

haps, not entirely clean, 1t was enough to make
q whole lot OF men who supposed themselves
Republicans stop working, hang back in the
harness and follow that candidate around by
the month. to sec ii they could find the spot on
his hand. Like enough they would want com.
mittee to investigate and make special report
to them. And when the false rumor was proven
untrue. they would wag their wise and pious
heads and regret that the party could not put
up candidates against whom no human being
could or would cay aught.
Tacoma Globe: To conduct successful bust
