The City of Free Trade.

A pilgrim strolled at the early dawn,
Where d river flowed by the sea.
To- watch the ships wben the tide came in,
Aud sre what their freight might be;
A noble ship that had braved the storms
Was anchored outside the bar,
While an unknown nag streamed from her
mast
UntuuChed by the trace OF "A star
Near 10y the hlun was the ruin old
Where "A hustling city had stood,
Where wealth Was mined from under her
hills
And was wrought from the wa yside wood;
But the anvil whs gone from the block
Aud the wheel al lac mill WAS still
The tenement rows were trnautless,
la the city under the hill.
There were signs OF better days gone by
A church with toppling tower,
That stood "a senii incl ni the dead
la the gleam of he morning hour;
And hlackrned timbsrs of years ag,.ne
Were casting their shadows al gloom,
The pail al drath-on forsakrn streets
That were hushed as the vocelets tomb.
And fields untitled an the hillside stood
With their waste of hriar and tho,n,
That once. were the fehaof nodtling plnmes
With their bnnntiful wealth al c"rn;
The roadway io the city WAS lost,
And the fall of the foot unhear,l,
Tn" only sound ou the mist v air
Was tlI, pines that thrsea brr"ze stirred
The tide came IN and the ship rode in,
Well ireiglItcd from over the sea.
With the wares that pauper labor wrought
la land where her ports are free;
Her hold WAS iillei with iron and steel.
To an inland city consigned,
That stood in the shades of towering hills
That were tceming with wealth nnmined.

the Rocky mount tains, states, declines
to support Mr.. Cleveland In the fol
lowing editorial, to be published to-
morrow, it give the reasons for its
course:
OR REASONS.
The opposition of the News to Mr..
Cleveland does not arise out of any
question as to his ability or charac-
ter. That he is splendid type OF the
self-made vigorous American is con-
ceded. That he is aggressive and ten
acious to secure success for all public
measures upon which he has convic-
tions is the verdict OF the public; and
were it not that a matter of principle
one vital to the American people
and to the prosperity of this state, in
| terfered, the News would accept his
nomination and hail his election as n
splendid beneiicence to the country.
The money problem is by far the
most important one that remains un-
settled. As compared to tariff-so far
IA the result OF the ultimate rightful
solution OF either is concerned, that OF
money and its coinage is as the great
| light and heart-giving sun to the small
| est OF the stars that stud the midnight
heavens. Tariff is a mere matter OF
/ schedules. Both parties admit duties
must he levied, ard the only question
| is upon what and at what rate shall
they be imposed. The question OF
protect ion = incidental or direct to
| American industries, is also question
| of degree, for both parties have agreed
at least, until the recent Democratic
convention admitted that it should
exist, and i'm legislation have acted
along these lines. x 1t must be
clear that to the people OF Colorado
| the greatest and most vital issue by
| far is that of the rest Grafton of free
coinage TO silver, and for that all
party alliance should he severed, il
relief cannot be had through party,
until the reform is secured.
The presidency is the pivot upon
which the success or defeat OF the cause
must turn. Congress has stood ready
| for nineteen years to restore tree com
age If the courtry's presidents had
been favorable. The defeat has come
either through votes or adverse infiu-
| ences from the white house. Until u
president favorable to it is elected free
coinage is hopeless. Mr.. Cleveland
and the opposing candidates are de
termined and avowed opponents OF
free coinage The platforms upon
which they were nominated impose no
moral obligations upon either to sign
"A free-coinage bill, therefore We know
neither will do so even should congress
pass a bill.
This being the incontestible truth,
the News. guided in all things by its
own convictions, cannot support the
candidacy of either. The News has
he courage of its convictions and Will
not hesitate to maintain it. What
ever presidential candidate 1t advo
Gates must be pledged to approve a
free-coinage bill For it to do other
wise would be to cheat the people, and
this it will not be guilty OF.
Time will point out a path. In God :
providence the right will find way to
triumph. Let the Democrats and Re
publicans of Colorado, who love theiI
nome and the states prosperity bet
ter than they do the fortunes OF any
candidates, hold fast to independence
that they may travel that path wher
| il is opened.

Seattle Banker I'm Search of Evidence
That Palmer Died Here.
Among the delegates to the American
Bankers Association now in this city. is
Il. w. Wheeler. president Of the CONNER
cial Bank of Seattle, Wash.
Mr. Wheeler's mission in this city is
double one. He not only is DESTROYS of
gathering wisdom from his brethren In the
fnaccial world, but he is also doing a little
quiet detective work.
The Seattle banker is trying to find out
when and where John Palmer, former
steamship-owner Of Brooklyn, N. Y, died.
Palmers family relations are some what
mixed He was supposed to have been
killed years ago in a steamboat boiler
explosion on the Mississippi River, but It
was learned recently that he escaped at that
time and that he died here last March
Mr.. Wheeler represents a daughter of
Palmer, now living In Seattle. and as the
man Is supposed to have left considerable
property it is quite essential to locate hin.
and To ascertain under what circumstances
he died.
Palmer for many years never commune
Gated with his family. His wife is dead
only one interested in the affair.
1t Is very likely that Palmer lived and
died under an assumed name, but Mr..
Wheeler thinks he has clew 10 his iden-
tity.
Robert Roberts is the name of man who
Is said to have been with Palmer in the
capacity Of valet when he died, but there
is every reason to believe that Roberts is
also dead now.
Mr. Wheeler is steadily pursuing his in
yestigations and promises to have big
story 10 tell within few days.

Which the f. arless Won.

The Admission day races between the
yachts Aggie, Jessie and Lnrline, which
took place yesterday under the auspices OF
the Pacific Yacht Club, will be ever
memorable in California yachting annals.
The crack fer Lurline was never in it
from the start; but the finish between the
Aggie and Jessie-a difference OF only two
seconds over twenty-seyen mile course
is something to tax the memory OF the old
est yachtsman to find a parallel.
In fact, he cannot find Ii. The closest
event of the kind was the finish between
the Aggie and Nellie several years ago in
race from Santa Cruz to Monterey. The
winner then gained the victory by thirty
seconds.
There is always full muster Of patriotic
citizens on the city front on the occasion OF
any holiday regatta. Yesterday was no

They were carried up to the chldren's
playground along the by-path that leads
from the conservatory.
When they saw the goats and donkeys
they said. GOO, goo--ah, COOP

opened their eyes to the widest and looked
