THE PAST HISTORY OF THE
GREAT SALT LAKE (UtqIO.

By Grove Karl Gilbert.

monographs ofthe United States Geo
logical Survey Vol. |. Washington, 1890.
From "Noture')
West of the Rocky Mountains, incloseQ
by regions which drain to the Pacific, is the
extensive area which bears the name of the
Great Basin, for from it there is no outflow.
This basin in form is rudely triangular, the
most acute angle pointing southwark, and
its greatest length is about $50 miles. At
the broader end the general elevation of the
wide valleys or plains which intervene be-
tween a series of parallel ridges, is about
5000 feet above the sea; at the narrower
end the ground descends gradually till it
is about on or eyen below, the sea-level.
Streams empty themselves into inland
lakes in different parts Of the Basin, the
most important OF these being familiar to
everyone as the Great Salt Lake of Utah.
This, however, is only the shrunken repre-
sentative of a grander predecessor. a mere

1ne Following fatality Is re-
corded in the Granada Mronicle:-"A
young man named Reginald Moore went
to the Post Office with a paper and rendered
the same for postage for Bar bados: The
POSTMASTER, spspectipg letters We're in the
paper, asked Moore to wait but he evident
~ conscious of the Postmaster's object in
asking him to wait, and fearing that there
was punishment in store for him, ran
from the Post Office in the direction of
Marine Cottage. The Postmaster then
called upon two men to catch Moore. who
hurried past Marine Cottage and made for
the rocks. iS purSuPrs managed to hem him
in, and whilst trying to dodge them the un-
fortunate Young man either plunged or fell
into the sea and was drowned. He was
drowned about u feet from the rocks.
The coroner has held an inquest, at which
evidence bearing out the foregoing facts
was addpced, and a verdict Of death
from drowning together with q rider con-
demning the conduct of the men who pur-
sued Moore, was returned. 1t it a most

The Portuguese Cortes weFG opened 0R May

with the exception of Senior Marianne Carval-
no, the Minister ofFinance. who ID still in Paris.
After some preliminary explanations had been
given as to the causes of the failures in the
formation of a Ministry recently, a Republican
Deputy seized upon the occasion to attack
violently the Ministry, and seeking their weak
est point, painted the financial situation in the
blacklist colours. Senior Moraes Carvalho,
Minister of Justice and ad interim Minister Of
Finance, replied in a remarkable manner and
was m~uchapplauded. He said that the country
had alarge economical deficit, because importa-
ton had been great during the last few years,
and because the rate of exchange on Brazil,
where there were important ums invested be-
longing to Portuguese who were resident in
Portugal, had not permitted remittances in
money. The Minister said be expected Brazil
would soon re-establish its finances, and that
the rate Of exchange would then improve,
and SO would the situation in Portugal. He
said it is a fact that gold would entirely dis
appeared from circulation, but the amount Of
gold hidden away in Portugal could not be
estimated at less thau 131 millions sterling;
that money really existed in the country: and
that never was the floating capital in the coun-
try so great as now. The South African trea-
ty has been ratified.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD.
OFFICIAL REPORTS OF THE RAPID
GROWTH EVERYWHERE.

The Alliance Bigger and Stranger Than
1t Ever Was Before. and Growing Every
ELECTROMAGNETIC Facts and Figures
Its Firm Position in the South.
The glorious reports u unity and pro-
gress coming to National Alliance head
quarters fills the Alliance men in the
national Offices so full of JOY ana enthu-
sasm that they are actually incapacita-
ted for telling their brethren all over the
country the good news i'll sufficiently eX-
pressive terms What they are able to
write cannot possibly express their en-
couragement and qualification.
When the state of Iowa came solidly
into line she reported that 251 new sub
Alliances had been organized within the
past three months. and that the list was
still growing.
The Indiana state Alliance met with
600 delegates present, and reported that
200 sub Alliances had been organized in
the state since the last annual meeting.
There are more than 1000 members of
the Alliance in Indiana.
X n
Florida Alliance met, with every
county represented. and indorsed the
Ocala platform by a vote of II to o. A.
p. Baskin was elected to succeed Presi-
dent Rogers, who declined reelection.
There has Naen gratifying growth in
that state, and the members of the order
are practically IA unit on every demand
in the Alliance platform.
Now, brethren and Alliance men ev-
erywhere. when you hear the cry that
the Alliance is "breaking up" you may
lust put this kind of construction on the
words, Breaking up the rings and mo-
nopoies that have brought such fiendish
oppression upon the people rs to make
them rise up and cry out against it..
Our people are patient and long suffer
ing, and only the sternest necessity
drives them to protest But when they,
do protest they mean business

Viewed as Il curiosity the gall and i'm

anything that has been achieved or dis
covered since the construction of the
pyramids of Egypt Last week some
brilliant genius in San Francisco sent
the New York Mail and Express (other-
wise known as the "Wail and Distress J
IL telegram from which the following is
taken:
1T is learned from sources wholly re-
liable that Senator Leland Stanford is
the power back of the Farmers Alliance
movement. Bill Stow, noted lobbyist
,nd wire puller from the Southern Pa
cifc company is engineering the scheme
to have Stanford nominated for presi-
dent by the National Farmers Alliance.
President L. l.. Polk, of the Alliance
party, who arrived on the Pacific coast
Il few days ago. has been addressing the
farmers of southern California. He
came to the state upon invitation OF
Senator Stanford, who was anxious to
increase. if possible, the interest in the
Alliance movement in southern Call
fornia, section Of the state where
Stanford is rather unpopular.
The senator has his plans for the Al
lance nomination well laid. The ticket
will be Stanford and Polk or Stanford
and Morgan. The senator is determined
to get the nomination, and money will
be used lavishly among the leaders OF
the new party to this end. He has al
ready in his interest some of the best po-
litical managers and mauipulators in
America These will be backed with
millions, if necessary"
If you should sit down and engage in
conversation with the person who sent
that dispatch, he would in all proba-
bility say that newspaper men do not
print anything unless they have some
foundation for the statements they
make" And yet this fellow sits down
deliberately and writes what he knows
to be lie. In other words, he didn't
know it was the truth, and therefore he
is responsible for the lie. 1t may be
that his foundation for sending out this
statement was small modicum of the
millions which he talks about so glibly.
=
President Polk does not know any,
thing about the wirepuller Bill Stow,
/ and Senator Stanford never knew any
thing about President Folks visit to
California. He went there on a pressing
invitation from President Marion Can
non, of the California state Alliance.
and Mr.. Cannon is suncompromisingly
opposed to even so much as talking about
the bare possibility of Mr.. Stanford's
presidential candidacy. He will have
nothing of it.

Two Glasses Still Ignorant.
H. w. AVER.

There are Two classes of men who
have formed no proper conception OF
this great farmers movement, and will
never be able to until they get an ingalls,
lesson. That is the old style editorial
Office farmer and politician farmer. Both
have in their day and time had a mo-
nopoly of certain kind of influence
Plutocracy did not think of treating
with the farmers direct; it managed
them through the editorial Office farmer
and politician farmer. What these men
said was considered authority by every
body, farmers and all. But somehow
this new movement has sprung up indie
pendent of them, and they cannot catch
on to it.
They still arrogate to themselves the
same influence and the same prestige,
but they only excite smile from the
great new movement. The aristocratic
political farmer, like Hatch and George,
Funston and Conger, do not control the
farmer. National Economist.

Those persons who read newspapers

so-frequently see mention made of AL
lance tickets, Alliance parties, Alliance
candidates. etc. All such statements are
groundess. The Alliance is not polit
ical party, makes no nominations. has
never ticket or candidates.
The Alliance is IN order that investi
gates political questions and imparts in
struction on political economic affairs.
Members Of all political parties make up
the order and the only influence it ex-
erts is through the information it secures
and imparts to its members on political
or governmental subjects.
TO impart reliable information on
these subjects is very dangerous to the
present political parties, and this is
wherein the offense of the Alliance lies.
Those whose deeds are evil fear the
light. Hence the hubbub raised against

at exactly fifty-two miles the heat is
just great enough TO melt any known
