MANIToU, Colo, Aug. NO visit
to Colorado is complete without trip
to the summit of 'the peak" as every
body out here calls it. The grand old
monarch of the Rockies is the weather
signal of the jewellers of the valley. It
is to this world famous mountain that
all eyes anxious to know whether sun or
rain, hail or snow, is in store turn.
All the clouds in the Colorado sky seem
to focus about its summit, and when
its lofty head stands out in bold relief
against those Same turquoise skies you
may be sure of fair weather, but when
it sullenly wells its brow look out for
fierce tempests.
The first attempt to scale Pixies peak
was made by Major zebulon Pike late
in the fall of 1906. With small party
he made superhuman efforts to climb
the "Great Snow mountain" After
many miles of most difficult climbing
delayed by bitter winds and fast falling
snow. they reached the summit of Chey-
enne mountain, but farther than that
they could not penetrate.
Forty years later George f. Ruxton,
an Englishman, oamped on tho noun
tain side and pursued his explorations
until driven away by band of hostile
Indians. AS travel turned westward
there came the demand for way to
reach the summit of the mountain, and
to meet that demand early in the fifties
trail was tracked out ii miles west of
Manitou. Although this trail was used
by hardy and venturesome travellers, it
was too long and dangerous climb to
be of general use. In 1871, 1878 and
1877 respectively three shorter and moro
direct trails to the summit were con-
structed. In 1889 carriage road, run
ming i'll zigzag fashion for 10 miles first
up the north and then the west side of
the mountain, was built On tho goth of
October, 1890, the golden spike of the
highest railway in tho world was set,
finishing the enormous enterprise of
eastern capitalists to assure the western

Thirty Years of ProsperitX.

The public press cannot too often nor
too emphatically recall the situation
since 1850, when compared with the IA
years Immediately preceding that date.
Ex-Gov. Boutwell, has summarized it ad-
mirably, and from his speech we make
an excerpt: IF any one says that the
times are hard and that our Unfortunate
experience is likely to be bettered, in the
sense that it will be exceeded, by what
is in prospect, some Democrats will rise
to say this is the result of 80 years of
Republican rule. The 80 years of Re-
publican rule were years of uninterrupt-
ed industrial prosperity. l say years of
uninterrupted industrial prosperity, for,
during the years of the war, whatever
the calamities in the field, and whatever
were the personal and family and pub
griefs due to those calamities, there was
never day when there was not con-
slant and remunerative employment for
every worker, whether of the head or of
the hands. The brief paralysis that fell
upon business in the year 1873 was ale
waited and made torerable by the assur-
ance that the party in power was ruled
by principles in the affairs of govern
ment, and that under the guidance of
those principles the period of adversely
would soon come to an end. That con-
fidence was we'll grounded, and the ad-
versity of the year 1873 is only remem-
bered in contrast with the other 20 yards
of Republican rule. 1t was a year of
public prokperity-if compared with any
year from 1916 to 1861, when the Demo
cratic party was in full possession Of
power, and when, as now, that party was
subjecr to the domination of the South"

"If we are to look for the time when
the tariff first became definite issue be-
tween political parties," says the Boston
Sunday Journal, in an historical vein,
I'VE will find it to be about the year 1892,
and we will find that the men who were
responsible for making the tariff polit
ical issue were John G. Calhoun and his
associates of the fIe-eating South Caro-
lima Democracy. Like most other Dem
ocratic leaders of his day, Calhoun had
been originally protectionist, but when
he discovered, in the words of his bio
grapher, that "A protective tariff was ab-
solutely incompatible with the interests
Of the Shareholders he suddenly changed
his views and became an aggressive and
uncompromising free trader. The at
tempt of Calhoun and his colleagues in
1882 to nullity the tariff laws of the Unit
ed States, to defy the National authority
and insult the National flag is the first
important tariff reform demonstration
of which there is any record in American
history"

The New York correspondent of the
Troy Press (Democratic), gives the fol-
lowing explanation of the rush of gold
out of the country. From such source
the evidence is significant. He says (:
1.-THE more than three millions in gold
sent out on Saturdays steamers come in
part from Boston. Notice of the needed
supply was given the sub treasures in
other cities. Further notices of drafts
for next weeks steamers sailing Wednes-
day and Saturday are expected by sub
treasures out of this city, and so far as
human mind can foresee there is no limit
to be placed to this export movement.
Neither is there any sign of the banks be-
coming willing to unlock their vaults and
put the gold they do not need into circula-
ton. The present condition is not only
to continue unless the banks are shamed
out of their course, but it is said also that
the American Refineries company is still
keeping up its large importations of raw
sugar. The gold exports haye been
traced to these imports, and every pound
of sugar brought in will call its equiva-
lent in gold out of the United States sub
treasures. There are other rather wild
statements made concerning the relations
of the gold and sugar movements, but
these are the only facts that have been
sifted to the bottom and have become the
accepted belief of Wall street men," Thus
the sugar iniquity becomes a menace as
we'll as calamity.

with his administration hook. Among
the tempting morsels which he offered
were collars and cuffs, free wool, barbed
wire, lumber, salt and official patronage.
Then in order to make this noxious, Bit
ter and mongrel tariff palatable to the
fastidious taste of these most worthy
Senators, he had it sugar-coated. This
was the bait that caught the whole
school of Democratic Senatorial fish
with the exception of one, and Grover
said that he was tired of fishing for this
as it proved to be up Hill work. Cleve-
land sits silently batting his hook with
free trade bait under Bourbon spiritual
influence, looking as wise as an owl
perched ON dead tree IN daylight and
sunshine, while the notes of the admin
istration ''cuckoos" are heard from the
foundation to the dome of the capitol as
they sing their peans of praise to Grover
the Great. And even the little pages
and boys in the rotunda exclaim in dis
gust, "Oh, Sugarr' Telegram.

THE STEARUS WHERL

The Linscott 25 mile road race,
held at Maiden, Mass, May 5th,
1894, was won by Nat Butler of
Cambridgeport on a Stearns wheel.
He made the 25 miles in one hour,
eleven minutes, % is seconds,
breaking the worlds record, and
capturing the first prize of a horse,
harness and buggy, the first time
prize of 800 diamond; also, a
$3.50 diamond for breaking the
worlds record. The report illus
trated will be found in the Boston
Sunday Journal of May 9th.
1t is the first record broken
this season, 153 starters, among
whom were some of the fastest
road riders in the U. S. A. 1t is
another case of the 'fastest man on
the fastest wheel" The other
"fellows" are not in it with the

The young Man issue" in Vermont
politics we find summed up and pro-
posed remedy suggested as follows ::
"There has been a considerable amount
of complaint to the effect that the young
men of the Green Mountain State were
not being recognized to proper degree
by the Republican party. 1t is alleged
that lists of the delegates to town, county
and state conventions for the past twelve
or fifteen years will show that those of
the beginning of the period bear a
marked resemblance to those of the past
few years, and that the offices have gone
around in circle too much. There is a
movement on foot for the organization
ofa Young Mems Republican Club of Yer
mont with subordinate clubs in every
town in the state, and the fact that, this
project is favored by such men as Sena-
Tor Proctor, Congressman Powers, Col.
U. A. woodbury., the next Governor of
the state, Col. George T. Childs. presi-
dent OF the Republican League, and 9th
or well known Republicans is sufficient
to show that the movement commends
itself to our thoughtful men, It is pro-
posed TO perfect temporary organiza-
tion OF this state club in connection with
the meeting of the Republican state con-
vention at Montpelier, and to appoint
committee who shall formulate a consti-
tuition and bylaws and report at state
convention of the clubs to be held later
in the campaign at Rutland, Burlington,
st. Adams or Montpelier. tits also pro-
posed to have this convention addressed
by some such representative young Re-
publican as Senator Lodge of Massachu-
setts."
