themselves radical reformers. ty-
ing themselves to the effete, decay
ed leadership of democratic poll
ticians, conclude that if our enc
mics, the land monopOlists, had
planned the whole thing they could
not have hit upon better plan to
kill the single-tax movement
Now while / see no cause for
contention between Populists and
single-taxers, l do see great need
for a mutual better understanding
between the two. 1t seems to me,
for instance, that single-taxer
could easily have framed better
land plank than the one in the
Omaha platform, for which service
the Populists would repay him by
teaching him that radical is one
who wages relentless, aggressive
warfare against the existing order.
In all | have said not the slight
est reflection upon the honest in
tention of Henry George is intend
ed, but / believe that the time has
fully come when honest, patriotic,
often-deceived men and women
should cease to make idols of any
political leader and should demand
instead that their leaders be not
only pure, but they must also be
aggressive and courageous.

We are forced to say that we
never enjoyed ourselves better, and

Truckee's Ice Palace.

The Republican says that the main
build ing of the Ice Palace il almost
completed. Good sized fir trees have
already been placed all around the
roof of the building, which in itself
would be grand sight if these trees
were now covered with ice, rs will be
the case in very few days. Eleven
thousand square feet of rabbit wire
has been ordered by the carniva COM
pany with which to cover the build
ing. This is expected to arrive here
very soon. The labor of putting it
on will not take very long, and just
as soon as it il in place the work of
spraying the building will be COM
menced,
The weather il very favorable now
for making ice, the nights being Bit
ter cold, and it will be very short
time before the entire building is
coated with ice after the company
begins to spray.
The Skating rink, which il 700 feet
long and twenty feet in width, will
soon be in shape 30 that water can be
run into it. The company has tele-
graphed to firm in Chicago to ship =
couple of hundred pairs OF ice skates
immediately. Toboggans and sleda
in large numbers will also be ordered
right away.

Plan to Settle the Silver Question by Put
ting Both Metals in the Same Coin.
DETROIT, Mich, April 30 The Trib-
une (rep) publishes an editorial leader
which declares in favor of the solution
of the present money question by
the creation of new dollar, to
be composed of propoctionate parts
of gold and silver. The article quotes
the declarations of the republican ma
tional platforms of 1858 and 1892 in
favor of bimetallism, and points
out the dangers Of d practical
silver recommendation through the
throwing open of the mines to
unlimited coinage. It calls attention
to the difficulties and delays which
would attend the negotiation of an
international compact and questions
the successful maintenance of a
parity of gold and silver by
that means in any event. 1t calls
upon the republican party to full
fill it's platform pledges by formulating
without delay practicable scheme for
bimetallism. especially in view of the
threatened disintegration of parties
and the drawing of new party lines,
with gold recommendation on one side
and silver recommendation on the other.

EPIEAI, France, April 30.-The great
dixie at Bonzey, in the Epinal district
in the department of the Vosges, burst
at o'clock Saturday morning The
cubic volume of the dixie is s,000,0 900
meters (s,745,0oo yards. The great
rush of waters completely oblit-
Grated several hamlets and caused,
frightful loss of life. 1t is at pres
ent impossible to get anything like
an approximation of the number of
lives lost, but it is thought it will
reach over 200. The village of Bonzey,I
with it's extensive pisciculture estab-
lishment, has disappeared. Other VIII
lagos wiped out or devasted by the
food are Bonsent, Uxegeny, Nomexy,i
Budegney, Demevres, Darnieuelles and
Aux Iorges.
Enormous damage has been done in
the surrounding country. The rail-
J ways in all directions are interrupted
and large number of villages are en-
tirely flooded. In some places the force
of the torrent let loose by the break in
the dyke was SO great that entire
houses were swept away and large
trees were torn up by the roots.
The reservoir was situated close to
the village of Bousey and was con-
nected with the Canal de rEst. The
breach caused by the rush of water is
over 300 feet broad.
The authorities are doing everything
possible to rescue imperiled persons.
Many families are still in danger. The
authorities are also taking steps to
provide relief for the homeless. As
sistance and supplies will be can't from
the nearest point.
In single commune, that of Uxe-
geny, kilometers az miles, from the
scene of the disaster proper, twenty
three persons were drowned. At
Nomexy eight bodies have been found.
Wherever the water flowed it destroyed
everything in its path. The steep,
vertical banks of the Canal de Pest
burst at Bonzey and emptied reach
of water IL kilometers Is As miles,
long into the Aviere valley, through
which the flood followed to Nomexy,
where it flowed into the River Moselle.
At Darnieuilles all the houses were
destroyed and few were spared at Aux
Iorges. Hundreds of families have
been rendered homeless and many who
were asleep at the time lost even their
clothes.
At Denlevre twenty-five of the inhab-
itants were drowned. At Oncourt one
person was drowned. Seventeen per-
sons are still missing at Uxegery,
where sixteen houses are in ruins. It
is now believed a total of over 200
lives were lost. The damage done by
the flood it is believed will amount to

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Rumors of /;
new triple alliance were atioat among
the diplomatic corps Friday. Th'
members of the new internationa
compact, if it be perfected, vii
be the greatest nations O.
the continents of Europe, Asia
and America. In other words an effor'
is being made, according to diplomatic
authority, to induce the United States
to join Great Britain and Japan in ar
alliance against the powers of Europe
and of everywhere else.
knowing well the Discrimination Of
this country to entangle itself with
foreign countries in defensive and
offensive alliances, Great Brit.
ain and Japan are said to
have suggested mere com
mercial alliance. Should the invita-
ton to join such an alliance be ac-
cepted by this government the
mere announcement would, it is
thought, be sufficient to hold
Russia, Germany and France
in check in their attempt to prevent
the contamination of the treaty of
peace between Japan and China by
which China will cede certain of her
territory to Japan.
LONDON, April 29.-The Daily News
has this dispatch from Yokohama:
The memoranda presented by the Rus
sian, German and French ministers at
Toxic represented the cession of
Lao Tong to Japan as constant
menace to Peking, calculated to nullify
the independence of Corea, therefore the
powers, desiring to show their sincere
friendship for Japan, advised her to re-
nounce the possession of this territory.
The friendliness of this advice was es-
pecially emphasized. The note, it was
said, was not intended to be an open or
covert menace. The impression grows
that Japan can rely upon the friendly
counsel and good offices of the United
States in preventing her being deprived
of the fruit of the victory.
SHANGHAI, April ga dispatch re-
ceived here from Peking says that
affairs there are in a critical state.
Some of the generals are in favor of
continuing the war. The censors OBJ
ject to Viceroy Ii Hung Chang and the
terms of the treaty of peace be-
tween China and Japan, and the of
fcials are claiming that the en-
peror alone should decide upon the
terms. The ratification of the treaty,
is uncertain and if it is
not ratified it is feared that there will
be trouble with the army.
