GLACIERS IN WYOMING.
An Interesting Discovery in the Teton
Range Made by Explorers.

CHEYENNE. Wy, Sept. 22.-W. o.
Owen, surveyor for Albany County, and
w. G. Johnson, head Government geo.
logist party, report the discovery of
glaciers in northern Wyoming. The
find is high UP in the Tetons, immedi-
ately south of the Yellowstone National
Park. Johnson found himself on
true glacial formation in ascending
Cloud Peak, but thirty miles from the
town of Buffalo, the objective point of
the Burlington extension. johnson,
who is here under orders to go to the
Pacific coast, was amazed and could not
credit appearances until he made a
critical examination. The johnson
glazier has lake that is frozen over
the year around and there are great
crevices in the ice fields.

JONES WILL NOT SUBMIT,
New York's Lieutenant Governor Proposes
to Fight Democratic Nominees.

to Fight Democratic Nominees.
BINGHAMPTON, N. Y. September o.
In response to inquiries as to his posi-.
ton regarding the democratic ticket
Lieutenant Governor Jones has pre-
pared statement for the Associated
Press, but he declined to specify just
what steps he proposes to take to ac-
cOmpllsh his declared purpose.
Mr.. Jones says thai his political ac-
ton has always been controlled by bis
sense OF loyalty as citizen, never rec
ognizing conflicting party obligations.
He believes in this instance that not
only have the interests of the people
been sacrificed, but that the existence
of the democratic party has been jeop-
ard'zed, for behind the nominations and
in absolute control of the party are men
whose every sentiment Of patriotism IS
subject either to their personal ambi-
ton or their selfish greed.
Continuing. Mr.. Jones says: $50
complete is the power of these men,
and so dictatorial have they become,
that members OF the party are but serfs
so far as political action is concerned.
Continued subservience but makes the
condition too degrading to be borne by
American citizens. here is but one
way to dislodge these usurpers. The
temporary defeat of the party will be
harmless compared with the effect of
their control. For the welfare of the
state and in the interest of the demo
cratic party to me my duty appears
clear, which is to oppose the election of
the nominees of the Saratoga conven-
ton to such an extent as may be within
my power, and in such manner as may
seem hest to accomplish that purpose"

monopoly is the railroad. The railroad
has been known to charge one-half the
farmers crop for hauling the other half
to market. That monopoly the gov
eminent must throttle. The carrying
of passengers and freight is a govern
mental function.
Then there is the national bank
monopoly. A few years ago coon skins,
horses, COWS and Goldfish were legal
tender. Because such stuff had COM
modify value it was thought to be in
dispensable rs cash. Now immagine d
dude going to church with Goldfish in
his pocket for the contribution plate.
There is as much sense in that as there
is in demanding that only hard money
be issued. However, if we are to have
hard money, gold and silver, let us have
enough of it. AS for me, | am in favor
of the government issuing paper money
directly to the people at a low rate of
interest If the money lenders can not
compete, let them put their cash into
legitimate business.
Some years ago some feudal barons
built their castles so as to command the
roads most travelled. Then they made
all who passed by pay heavy tribute.
That was the origin OF the present tar
if system. The barOns are to-day en-
trenchcd behind their castlewalls as in
the old times. and they are rObbing you
just as successfully, though with more
science, as they did the travellers. Our
object is to dislodge them, and to ac-
cOmplish this result we must elect men
TO congress who will see that our in
terests are provided.
The speaker then paid attention to
the Geographic systems, which he
classed as monopolies and briefly re-
felred to number Of kindred sub
jects. He closed his speech with a
tribute to the women.
"A mans right to vote is woman's
right" he said. 81 hope to live to see
the day when every woman in the coun-
try may express her opinion at the
polls. Now. while speaking of women,
1 wish to call your attention to an action
of the man lgers OF the Columbian ex
position. They have appointed a board
of lady managers. There isn't a woman
on that boart 1t is shame. l would
not give woman for ali the ladies that
ever wore silk socks. If the new party
does not recognize the women l will
leave it and form another"
At the close of his speech, which vas
interrupted many times by cheers, Mr..
Simpson seized his lat and overcoat,
and made hasty retreat. He took the
6 o'clock train for Clay Center, Kan
SaS.

The old party press throughout this
section talk alike the fight is between
the two old parties, whereas the real
fight is between the people and the
money power. The money power is en-
trenched behind the two old parties,
and in its fight against the people it
hopes to be able to win, promising, as
it does, position and gold to its work.
ers. People, this is the truth. The old
parties are simply tools in the hands Of
the plutocrats-tools to destroy the lib
critics of the people-paid tools to fasten
the chains OF bondage upon the toilers,
are the party leaders OF the old parties.

The Warehouse Plan.

The great cry Of the subsidized press
is that the sub-trcasury plan is ''uncon-
stitutional." ''lmpracticable," visiona-
ry," etc. If you will but turn back a
few pages of our country's history, you
will find that the Pennsylvania colony
adopted land and loan scheme, and
Virginia a tobacco warehouse system
very much similar to what we are now
advocating, which at that time was all
that saved the colonists from utter ruin.
And then turn to French history and
see how in 1S4S this same warehouse
plan saved France from utter destitu-
ton and made her happy and prosper
Gus nation. No measure ever offered
promises so great relief to the produc-
ing millions as the sub-treasury and
unless something better is proposed the
people are going to have it BY this
plan it is made possible for the producer
to realize the advance upon his pro-
ducts instead of giving it to the kid
gloved Observation-Disclosures Bulletin.

Amusing.

Amusing.
It is amusing to com pare the editor
ials of the democrat-republican gold
bug national bank newspapers when
speaking of Kansas at the present time
with the remarks of self-shame papers
made last fall and winter. Then they
were cursing the farmers alliance for
every ill and prophesying the direct
calamities from the acts of the farmers
legislature of the state. They predict
ed the withdrawal of all eastern capital
invested there and the speedy ruin and
downfall of every interest. Now they
are boasting of the good crops
of the state, telling OF the
rapid cancelling of mortgages and pre-
dieting a glorious future for Kansas
farmers.
And the funniest thing about all this
talk OF these political buncO steerers is
the causes they give for this change IN
the state of things. When Kansas was
suffering from failure of crops and
her hard working farmers with blight
ed hopes saw forSaken homes staring
them in the face: when they felt the
cold grip of the mortgage closing tight
er and tighter and wife and children
were trembling and hoping almost
against hope. they said farmers were to
blame for this themselves: that they
did not properly plant their crops or
take care of them after they were
planted and if they would pay more
attention to their farms and let politics
alone they would be better off. But
now. when the prairies OF Kansas are
rich with a golden harvest planted and
being gathered by the alliance farmers
of the state, these all-wise prophets
and reasoners are willing to credit
these bright prospects to anything else
than the efforts OF the farmers.
We should think such reasoning as
this was enough to convince any farmer
that all the politician cared for him was
to use him for his own special purpose.
If drouths and floods and insects de-
stroy crops, the farmer is negligent and
is to blame for the failure; yet let there
come season of prosperity, with rain
or sunshine just as needed, he gets no
credit, but is told that Providence is
exceedingly kind to him, and that if he
will only tend to his farm, she will con-
tinue to bless him.
Such talk is indeed amusing, and eve
ry intelligent farmer should make the
most of it as a club of ridicule for the
scheming politician who is always work
inc his own advancement, and as
means of accomplishing this end is con-
stantly trying to keep the farmer in the
background by preaching to him that
he should be satisfied with his present
social and political position and privi-
leges. and that Providence had never
intended him for further advancement.

Bad Slip on East Fourtse nth street Yes
terday,

a Bad Slip on East fourteenth Street Yes
For some time the big bank left by
the cut on the Fourteenth street extern.
sion has been in a dangerous condition.
The wash from the hills has carried of
all the clay on the surface, leaving huge,
loose rocks extending out four or Eve
feet in places. This has often been com.
mented on as dangerous.
Yesterday several OF these rocks,
which had become loosened in the
ground, gave way and fell, carrying with
them several tons of clay and causing a
cave Of considerable dimensions in the
plank road leading to the top Of the hill.
Fortunately the slip was at a point where
the results were not more serious. Had
a wagon been passing on the road above
It would have tumbled down into Four
tenth street, and had the rocks given
way at almost any other point the street
below would have been bloCkaded with
debris, instead Of its merely filling up
the gutter, as happened yesterday.
Steps should be taken TO prevent a
more serious accident.
