END OF rHr RELAY EIDE.
President CIeveiand's Message Delivered
IN Denver Ahead of Time.


DENVER, Col, Aug. 12.--The last
hundred miles of the great relay bicycle
race was covered under the most favor
able circumstances. A clear sky, little
or no wind and smooth, hard road,
was an inspiration to the flying wheel
men. who forged ahead at a gait that
would have done credit to a locomotive.
The sand storm which the Nebraska
riders ran into last night was a most
unfortunate occurrence. II delayed the
race several hours and prevented it
being completed in six days, as was an
ticipated yesterday, when the news that
such excellent time was being made in
eastern Nebraska was received here.
But west of Julesburg this morning the
sun found the Presidents message NOV
ing steadily westward, ~ miles per
hour. The couriers arrived at Cheyenne
at $3.50 p. M, where the best riders of
that city received it without seconds
delay and were off for the South like
the wind.
The road from there to Greedy is
smooth and hard, with occasional hills
or slight rises, giving the men chance
for an occasional coast" The Chey-
enne boys were greeted a few miles
north of Greedy by an escort of local
wheelmen, who set a killing pace on
toward their city, arriving there at TIT
p. m. The pouch was transferred To the
Denver boys with the same celebrity with
which it had been changing hands ever
since Monday noon, and the remaining
52 miles of the course was covered with
out incident.

SCORED THE SENATORS.


The Rev. j. A. Is. Wilson Says That Four
Benedict Arnolds Fawn Before the
Sugar Trust.
New York Times, Monday
us This Country the Property of Cor
porate Capital or Not?n was the subject
of the Rev. DIR. j. A. b. Wilson's SER
mon in the Eighteenth Street Methodist
Episcopal Church last evening. Dr.
Wilson had some severe things to say
about the men in the United States
Senate who are delaying the passage of
the Tariff bill.
I'VE have seen the business of this
country paralyzud for Is MONTHS" he
said, "while the tariff tinkering goes on
at Washington. have no quarrel with
the tariff reformers. The prosperity of
the country depends, not on tariff low
or tariff high, but on settled tariff, and
for this everything has been held in
suspense for Is months.
And just now, when a suffering
country feels its punishment over, four
Benedict Arnolds in the Senate of the
United States, who take sugar in theirs,
are fawnlng like spaniels at the feet Of
this great oligarchy, by which craft,
possibly (like the Ephesian artiticers)
they have obtained much wealth, and
the poor must go hungry and strong
men stand in agony idle for the want Of
work, which will be abundant when
this everlasting tariff thievery is over.
"What share of the swag' this quar-
tet is TO get out of it deponent sayetb
not, but when an attempt was made tc
find out by investigation witnesses re
fused to answer, and were never
brought to the bar of the Senate fol
contempt
81 am surprised at Senator Gray
whom always believed TO be an homes
man, and man of courage, as well a.
integrity. The party pressure mus
nave been strongly upon him to havt
prevented thoroughness in his work.
1.-The truth is that nearly all of tn,
great sugar interests of this country ar,
owned by one great corporation, which
is able to contribute hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars to parties for considera
tons. And it is for this one interes
that the Senate holds the country by tn
| throat"

Bach's Compliments to stewart.

'hepupllcah hlasSea III sunday star,
1t begins 70 look as ii disappointment
of Colonel EnoCh Moore would mean a
great deal for Democratic politics.
Colonel Moore has been arranging
already with exPostmastrr stewart for
the bottling up of such Republicans is
are yet employed at the postoHce. At
any rate this is what Stewart is conf
deDtially telling the letter carriers and
clerks. Postmaster Moore says stewart
is willing and anxious for his lepulli
can subordinates to take hand In the
Republican primaries, provided they
will not oppose the Democrats next
November. Colonel Moore is very
smart, indeed, and if hia Republican
subordinates were a pack OF political
traitors and knaves he and Stewart
would make something olt of their deal;
but as il is it is doubtful if they together
can debauch single Republican now
employed at the postOtiice.

 Westville, Dec. 21.-The members of Edgewood lodge, K. of F., were agree ably surprised on Monday evening, when in response to knock at their outer door they found Captain L. F. Norton and delegation from Sheffield division No. 2, U. R., awaiting admit tance. Mt seems unnecessary to say that the visitors were warmly welcom- ed, and after the regular business had been disposed of they gave an exhibi- tion drill, which showed remarkable proficiency. Captain Norton has every reason to be proud of his command, and we wish them every possible success, Pull out latchstring again, Sir Knights.
 Shall American Institutions be Pre- served?" will be the theme of the Rev. M. McNicholPs discourse at the M. B. church on Sunday evening. MT.

 The statement that the government, official experienced nosuneasiness dur ing our late trouble is pronounced by those ina position to know to be simply ridiculous. That he was thoroughly rattled, they claim, is shown by the fact that oh several occasions he not only licked and applied postage stamps, but actually thanked the parties served for the privilege of so doing, thereby estab- fishing a precedent which is sure to make trouble in the future.
