Congressman Wilson is nc

Congressman Wilson is not
as far off as the great(?)
Statesman will be when the
result of the November cleo
ton is known. The people
are tired of being dictated to
by puny one-horse daily like
the Statesman. That sheet
is working for "dough, J" and
it don't care a snap for the
peoples interests. Idaho is
for free silver first, last and

MONTPELIER,

Ben Rich told few unvar-
nished truths the other night
during his speech, and one of
them was, that the supporters
of Mckinley and his platform
in the west, were doing it
solely to get a grab at the
eastern republican crib.

That pusiIlanimous. thing
over at Paris last week con-
tanned a fling at Postmaster
Hammond of this city. Ik
stated that he held the Paris
and other mails over a day
for pure meanness, or words
to that effect. The EXAMINER
will state the facts, as it al
ways has to on such occasions:
For some weeks past and I'M
til the first of this week the
west train has been from two
to five hours late. The stage
drivers contract requires him
to leave here at 8 a. m, the
train arriving at z a. m. Ii
is therefore easy to see that
when the train is late Paris
gets no west mail. On the
Wednesday it speaks of, the
train did not arrive till $50 a
m. Everyone who knows viii
testify that Postmaster Ham

at this point could be increas-
ed many fold if a good road
was built to the Netional
Park from here. Besides its
tourists travel, there woulp be
all the country as far east as
the Big Horn basin to supply,
and all of their stock would
be shipped from here. And
just think, the road could be
put through for about $1,000.
We believe if the u. P. off.
Gals knew these facts they
would see that the rovd was

There is one feature about
the republican and democratic
platforms that is worthy of
notice. The republicans did
not condemn the bond issues,
while the democrats did. But
then the republicans could
not, for if Mckinley is elected
he will have to issue bonds as
did Cleveland, to keep up the
gold reserve. If the demo
Gratis go in, silver will take
the place of bonds. The in
tense stiffness of the cuckoo
Idaho sheets on this point is
oppressive. Everyone knows
they made themselves hoarse,
before the st. Louis conven-
ton, decrying the issue OF
bonds in time of peace. But
then it's all one can expect
from papers OF no sta ability OF
manhood.

Zimmerman Discusses Bicycle Rae
ing in Australia.
WHEELMEN NO MATCH FOR AMERICANS
Mt. Pleasant Whist Team Defeats
the Washingtons.
GENERAL SPORTING NOTES

SAN FRANCISCO, February IA. A.
Zimmerman, the champion professional BIZ
cycle racer, who arrived from Australia
yesterday, attributes his failure to come
back with an unbeaten record to the Aus
tralian climate. The bicycle racers of that
country, he says, do not compare with
those of America or England in speed, but
TO matter how fast foreign rider may be,
he cannot expect to win races until he has
lived long enough in the. country to become
accli!natcd.
Parsons, Piether and Walker are the best
riders in Australia, Zimmerman says, but
they would stand little chance in this coun-
try against our fast men.
Another thing that hindered Zimmerman
IL. Australia was the poor tracks. They
are generally four laps to the mile and are
grassed. Zimmerman won nineteen races
IT. Australia. and was beaten several times,
twice at Newcastle just before he left. He
was we'll satisfied with the financial result
of his trip, the prizes for races are
usually S1,G0O. Great interest is taken in
bicycle racing, and race meets are attend
ed by from tW enty to thirty thousand peo-
pie.
zimmerman was rather re- ticent about his
plans in TIE United States. He said he had
rot yet decided whether he would race
again. If he does race it would probably
be in Paris, where he. has a standing offer
of $500 a week for one race week. This,
he thinks, would be more prof. g BILE than
following the circuit in the United States.

ALPHABET OF THE MONKEYS.
Prof. Garner Says That He Has Oh
tNineI 1t.

Professor Robert L. Garner of Roanoke,
Va, who was dispatched last summer on a
SECOND trip to the jungles of Africa by the
African Research Society of Chicago has
returned to New York. He went to COM
plete his monkey alphabet and to learn
mere about the language of the monkey.
Professor S. H. Peabody of the University
of Chicago was one of the hackers of Pro-
fessor Gamers enterprise.
Professor Garner returns. he says, with
much new information. He has in his port
folio photograph of the most brutal goril-
La man in Africa. This gorflla-man would
be called in Australia a bushman.
Professor Garner considers that his mis-
sion in perfecting himself in the monkey
tongue has teen largely accomplished.
II am convinced that monkeys talk to
each other" says he. ''and that some of
them possess a higher intelligence and a
greater fuency of language than many of
the African natives"
Professor Garner plunged into the Bo-
Jumbo country on his way to the interior of
darkest Africa at Ambrizette, Angola, in
the latter part of last October. He will lay
the result of his recent researches before
the Chicago society which equipped him for
the expedition.

He Celebrated 1t by Breaking Two

Joe Donoghue celebrated his last day at
the Convention Hall ice rink Saturday by

as Donoghue was behind Saunders it was a
question as to which would win the race, but
as soon as he passed him the interest was
transferred to the race between Ilgenfrtz

When it Is considered that Saunders was

is near championship time.

the employees of the rink, with whom he was

He Claimed a Forfeit for Maher's Nom
Appearance.
Ell PASO, Texas, February 17-Martin
Julian came across the Rio Grande this
morning for conference with Stuart and
Buck Connolly. Julian started out by claim
ing forfeit, but was told he could get no
forfeit.
The articles of agreement provide that
the man failing to appear at the ringside
should forfeit. Maher was ready to appear
at the ringside, or would be as soon as the
morning train got in from Las Cruces. In
addition to that there was no rings:de, so
Mr.. Julian was told. There was a rngside
Friday. the day set for the fight. and if he
wanted TO claim any forfeit for the failure
of Maher to appear at the rings:de ne should
rave done it on that day.
But, objected Julian, you urged me to
agree to the postponement until Monday,
and did it,
If you don't know enough to insist on the
forfeit at the proper time, it's your own
fault, was the cold comfort he received.
Julian grew indignant, but he had no
show. He had thrown away his chances of
forfeit by not claiming it on the day of the
battle and he could do nothing toward get
ting Ii now.
