The Peoples Party.

& -- ~
The Convention Of the Farmers
Alliance and industrial organiza-
tons held last week at Cincinnati
decided TO create a new party to be
called The Peoples Party Of the
United States" we fnd our views
very terseiy expressed in the follow
ing editorial extracts from The New
Orleans Picayune
This Peoples party" will cut but
an inconsiderable figure in the next
presidential election, but it is the
beginning Of q movement that will
amount TO something in the days
that are to come. 1t is the begin.
Mug Of an organized wal against
what is termed money power" just
as the Abolition movement was a
wal against on what was then de-
uonnced as the ''slave power" "A
few furious and uncompromising
fanatics were able in the end to ar.
ray the great body Of the people Of
a majority of the States in behalf of
their cause and to drive them into q
war that shook the nation to It's
foundation. What are we to expect
from a movement that is able to ally
the conservative farmer with the
most advanced of the socialistic
fanatics, that will muster the honest
and hard-working producers Of raw
or manufactured material with the
idle and prafigate proletariat and
invoke the tyranny Of government to
overthrow the despotism Of corpor.
ate wealth.
We repeat that in The next pfesi
dental election the new party, as it
is called. will exert but little inan-
ence in changing the political con
plexion of the country, bat it is the
of a movement that will
one day exert powerful influences
upon the political and social institu-
tons Of the country. The effort to
strengthen the Government and con
Fer on it extraordinary powers in
10 break down the influence Of
private and corporate wealth must
end in erecting a despotism which
will assume most Of the functions and
asnrp all the rights now exercised
indiEidnals.
If the new party can have any
effect on the next national election
it will it will benefit the Democratic

platform set forth by the Cincinnati
convention promises to be formula.

TROUBLE IN THE UTE COUNTRY.
Settlers Threaten to Kill Indians Found
OFF Their ReserYafinn

SIDNEY. Col, Oct. 22.-Word has Just been re-
celTed that five companies of United States in
fantry and cavalry are on the march from Fort
Russell aud Sidney, Col, to the scene of the Ute
outbreak that occurred four years ago in the
northern part OF this county. A year ago the In
dams incroached upon the territory OF the cat.
temen and settlers, tore down their fences and
turned their herds and ponies in upon the fields
OF hay and grain, killing game for their hides
and letting the carcasses lie wherever they
dropped. At the approach OF this falls
hunting season the white men banded
together and made arrangements so that
il the Utes should invade their territory
they would try ana collect and suddenly drive
every Indian pony out of the country. and
should the Indians persist in being ugly, war
would be made upon them with the rifle until
every TedSkin off the reservation was killed
Word was sent 10 Governor Routt that the In
dams were encroaching upon the rights of the
white men, and adv sing him that means would
be taken 10 check any advance. small band
OF Indian ponies has been driven of into the
Flat Top mountains. No report of bloodshed
has been received. The Indians are determined
to hunt, and the settlers swear that they shall
not put foot OF the reservation 20 DO so.

KING COUNTY LEVY.
The Tax Will Probably Be Thir-
teen Mills.
VALUATION LESS BY So. 2s5. 900.
The Commissioners Make an Informal
observation-disclosures From
the State Board.

The county commissioners yesterday received
telegram from the state board of equalization
stating that the assessment on real property in
King county, exclusive of Improvements, had
been reduced 10 per cent. This on the total as
sessment makes reduction of about S5,2S5,0OO.
The telegram also stated that changes had been
made in the personal property roll.
The commissioners held a meeting in the
afternoon and made up an estimate upon the
new basis of the probable rate for this year. as
follows:
State. mills: county, AZ mills; soldiers re-
Hef 2 10 Mills military, . 10 mills; state inter
est, Ito mills; county interest, 40 mills;
school, 8 mills; road, / mill; bridge. mill.
The road, bridge and school levies apply only
to property outside the city limits. as school dis
trict No. makes its own rate The county levy
OF Al mills covers not only estimated expenses
for general purposes, but also a transfer to the
road and bridge fund OF 3! of anil on the total
valuation of the county, the amount TO be used
for road purposes
The levy is more than was expected by the
commissioners on account of the reduction on
real property and on railroad track as returned
By the county board of equalization.
The commissioners went over the assessment
as it approximately would be after the state
board gets through with it, in order to form
some idea of what would be necessary. They
cannot make any levy until the first Monday in
November.
The levy for 1889 was 20 mills, last year it was
17ls and this year it will approximate Is mills.
The county auditor received a circular letter
from the secretary of state yesterday asking the

Mr. A. Fl. Thompson of Washington City. one
OF the geographers of the United States geoiog-
zeal survey, arrived at the Rainier hotel yester-
day. He has come TO look over the state pre-
parstory to the geological survey to be under
taken by the general government.
Mr. Thompson has been doing such work for
the government since 1867. His first expedition
preceded the Union Pacific line as it came
West They started when the road was con-
structed to point about 100 miles
west Of Omaha The party of geolo-
gists went into Colorado and made
q partial survey of that state. Since then Mr.
Thompson has been connected with the surveys

from California where he has been superintend-
ing some work IN the gold belt.

Governor Ferry" said he last night, ''and also
at Tacoma. AT present 1 wish 10 fnd out in
what part of the state it would be best to begin
that is, what part is in most need OF having
the work done. That question is rather dlfhcult
one TO determine. You have three leading
interests which would be affected by the survey,
your coal mines, your iron and you pre-
cious metals. / must give q general look
over the ground and then report
to headquarters at Washington City. After that,
If present plans are carried out, the work Will

far as possible, the results OF past work. l ex-
pect now to be back here in January, and ii the
survey is undertaken. the field work will begin
when the season opens up.
''The first thing, of course, is a good map OF
the country, or that part of it where the geoIog
zeal survey is to be made. The results OF the
work of the biologists are, so to speak, marked
into this map. We have no map OF this state
which will answer, and so that Will have to be
made. But the biologists follow the surveyors
very closely, and do not wait for the completion
of a state or anything Ike.
Geological surveys are now being carried on
ia nearly every state of the Union either by
state or government enterprise. | suppose that
Wisconsin's surveys are thus far the most COM
plete. But the work is really never done, for
each succeeding generation demands something
completer and more accurate.

yesterday: al have looked into the question OF
securing part of the present state university
site location for High school and should
be greatly in favor OF such an arrangement If il
could be brought about. | am not, as have
been quoted, in favor of paying $4,000 for the
whole tract; but single block, quarter OF the
tract, or even a little less, could perhaps be
cured for $4,000. That would answer all our
needs
at would be fine thing if the city's various
interests could be brought into a combination
to purchase the whole piece. The library COM
mission is empowered to have an election on
the question of issuing 100000 in bonds for a

The auction sale Of Siragan 8. Costikyan's
beautiful collection of rugs began yesterday
morning in the rooms under the Vendome hotel
on Front street, between Union and University.
BY afternoon there was very good attendance

do spirited bidding. The curios went for next
to nothing, and / let them 60, because don't
care to carry them around. Rugs sold for s., Sc
and $40 that later in the sale would have brought
three times that sum. Goods were so cheap
that hard times could not keep any from buying

prices will be enough better to enable me to
make up for the present sacrifices"
