NEW WORLD.
Lives Lost With the Hotel.

Probably % men, women and chill
dren persisted by an explosion OF the
boiler in the Gumry hotel on Lawrence
street, Denver, shortly after midnight
Monday morning Half dozen others
are injured, and are at the hospital
With deafening sound and terrific
force the entire rear portion OF the
building was demolished. The rear
and side walls crumbled like toy
house. Soon afterward the mass of
timbers. brick and furniture caught
fire, cremating many of the victims
who lay pinned and helpless amid the
blazing pile. Their piteous appeals for
help could not be responded to because
Of the flames. Elmer Pierce, IL, who
was temporarily placed in charge OF
the boiler, was responsible for the eX-
plosion. With the boiler almost at
white heat, he let cold water into the
tubular machinery, causing an Imme-
diate explosion. He escaped uninjured
and last night was being hunted for by
an angry people.
The Passing of the Boom Towns.
One by one the boom towns of the
west are disappearing from view.
Greensburg. Kan, is being carried
away by neighboring farmers, who will
use the buildings for barns or kindling
wood. Greensburg was one of those
places of fungus growth whose boom
had no solid foundation. AS soon as
the real estate men had made all that
was to be made they fled, and it was
not long before the bona fide settlers
were compelled to either follow or
Etarve.
Trouble With Tramps.
The great influx of laborers to the
region about Fargo. \. d., is causing
the people there much trouble and it
IS likely that before the city is rid of
the army of tramps there will be seri.
Gus trouble. OF late the men. tired of
looking Cor work and angry at being
repulsed on every hand when asking
for food, have been arming themselves,
and there are now, it is estimated,
over 1000 men in the vicinity of Fargo
who are carrying revolvers or guns.
burglaries of hardware stores are of
nightly occurrence and it is remarked
That the cases containing the revol-
yers and shotguns are the only things
nolested.

ARE THE PoPULIsrs TO CONTROL
THE SOUTH.

The very clear and interesting letter
ton correspondent is one which should
be read and thought on by the people
OF Virginia and all of the South. The
point made is that every one can now
vention will be overwhelmingly opposed
to free silver, and that Il Is. therefore,
completely dead az a thing 10 be con-
sideied by either OF the great national
parties. But so long as any considera-
bic part of the Southern people hold on
10 IL the Populists look on the South as
good ground for them 10 work IN, and
they will continue TO direct their efforts
towards making proseytes there.
Already, our correspondent tells us.
& Is understood at Washington that they
are arranging their plans to cover the
surface of the South in the hope that
II may be converted to THAR detestatle
doctrines. Southern Democrats who are
not enlightened enough to be able to I'M
6'rstand the folly OF what the Populsts
advocate, ought at least II be willing to
defer 10 the judgment and action of the
overwhelming majority of their brother
Democrats in the nation, and they should
be willing to accept their action in Il
matter of such importance as this and
to abide by It, IL would be terrible
reproach to the South If it could be said
that 1t had become the land Of Popu-
Ism.

WHAT THE ORGAN or THE "GOLD
RUGS" THINKS.

A recent issue OF the London Times
contained this reference TO Mr.. Glove
land In a long editorial upon American
affairs:
AFTER the Wilson tariff bill compro-
mise. Mr.. Cleveland was the most dis-
credited man I'm American public he ana
the sweeping Republican victory In NO
vember appeared TO seal his rate az
Democratic leader. Curiously enough the
second difference in his party saved ms
reputation. He has been sound on the
silver question all the time. and the re-
suit OF the courage and tenaciiy ne mas
displayed, has improved ;he prospects OF
his party In the coming Presidential cam
paign.'
II MIR. Cleveland is really candidate
for a third term, he will not thank the
London Times for this enoomium upon
him. The Populistic Democrats Will be
enraged 10 find this organ OF Lombard
street and the goldbugs and bondhoid-
ers' declaring that Mr.. cleyeland's
course as President has been satisfac-
tory and praiseworthy. Nevertheless,
the opinion Of the London Times is tho
opinion OF all sound and conservative
mon in America. These recognize that
eighteen months ago the Democratic party
had no more chance TO eject a Presi-
dent In 1896 than IT had TO convert wicked
Republicans from the error Of their ways.
They recognize now, however, that the
Democratic party has a fighting chance
a certainty. almost. II It's national con-
vention will repudiatc In unmIstakable
terms all the foolish ideas Of the Popu
lists; and they also recognize that the
change In the popular feeling towards
the party has been brought about by MIR.

The Wild West Outrage.

To the Editor Of The Times:
Sir,-Your allusion to the tisegreeaD'e
experience Of .fesc who undertook 10 prr-
chasc tickets from the wagon at lho
wild West show" was In my OPINION,
nit too mildly. All shows visiting our city
re most literally ratronized by our pe1-
pie As general thing, our pco-
pie are not fault-hnders, and gen
orally submit TO swindle; Dut
the conduct OF those connected
with the wild West show" deserve at
the hands Of our people the severest CEN
sure. For instance. the snow was
advertised TO take place at O'Clock T.
NJ, the door was to be opened one honr
before the performance. and the people
cautioned Ito come early so as TO pre-
Won't the accustomed rush attending such
performances" That our people turned
cut en- ma.sc cannot be denied, ana what
was the treatment received! Ihey were
required TO stand by the ticket wagon
for two hours or more and listen 10 the
harangues Of what they supposed 10 De
ticket spectators. when, as a later Oh
fact. the self-same men were iouhh di'ei-
wards selling tickets to the concert "hich
usually follows as 4 finale 10 all such
nerformances. which should be convinc-
ing nroof Of their being the reg liar EN-
U!UVttS Of lIt w lih ~ A0'' '-+N
thev used to rob she people was too APP
parent TO the minds Of thousands VINO
attended.
The aforementioned show may never
return TO our city, and it Is to hoped II
will not unless they adopt an honest
mode Of de aling with its patrons. But the
object Of this censure is TO caution other
cities TO which they are booked so that
their officials can become posted In adj
vance and govern themselves according
~. Likewise, it is timely TO caution
the heads Of justice in our city to pre-
vent any future occurrence of so vile
swindle. so that they may clothe our
police with proper power to suppress open
as well as sly pick pocketing. In THIS
believe | voice the sentiments OF the
patrons of yesterdays show.
Yours truly,
EDWARD s, ROSE.
