A SIX Teton Found.

While John Richards was supposed
to have been killed and parties were
out in search of him, his son and man
who accompanied him. report that they
found skeleton of man out in the
hills, which looked as if it had lain
there for two years or more. They say
that the man had had on overalls and a
shirt and had a handkerchief around
his neck in which there still remained
tufts of hair, and that a part of the
skull was missing and his hat laid sew
eral feet away. They did not disturb
the remains. No one has yet gone out
to look after it, and the snow will prob
ably cover it up so that it will stay
where it is until spring. The probabil-
ity is that it is the remains of Joe
Orr, whose disappearance from Rey-
nolds creek created considerable talk,
two years ago.

Messrs. Cannon and Brown we're el-
ected to the United States Senate. by
the Utah legislature, last Tuesday. on
the joint ballot, We do not know any
thing to indicate that Mr.. Brown will
make an excellent Senator, but we do
feel that the Utah legislature would
have done honor to itself and great
good to the cause of free silver had
they elected the distinguished editor of
the Salt Lake Tribune, as one of Utah's
first Senators.

The real reason for new party Is tAe
fact that there is one issue whose over.
reaching importance calls for now
party. Until our money policy is COR
rected and established in the interest
of the people instead of in the interest
of the bankers, it is useless to talk
about minor matters. The people are
not so seriously divided about sukh lit
tie things as tariff or free trade that
they will not pass this over to limo up
on the respective sides of the monetary
question. The old parties will do all
within their power to keep the vital
question in the background, and both
of them will control their political con-
ventions with view of forming plat
forms to hide the main issue. The
bankers will try to fix things SO that
both Of the candidates will be with
them, or under their dictation, just as
they were four years ago. Then what
viii they care which wins? The only
way to defeat them is to bring out
third party candidate and put him on
platform made of one plank. That
one plank may be borrowed from the
old Omaha platform if they wish, but
it should have none of the other worth
less lumber of the Populist party at
tached to it.
We hope the conference of the friends
of bimetalism, now being held in st.
Souls, Will all unite on the one over
shadowing question and present only
the one single issue.

Boss Tweed once remarked that he
liked to see political cartoons in the
papers, because the gang who sup
ported him could read pictures. He
perhaps got enough of them before
Mast and Harper's Weekly got through
with him This reminds US that we
fear that all tho friends of silver Will
have the nightmare if the National BIZ
metalist does not either stop printing
a picture on the first page of that other
wise most excellent publication or else
employ more competent artist. He
gets hold of fairly good thought to
work on but his pictures are horrible.
Every friend of free coinage ought to
take the Bimetalist, but with the re-
mittance of these subscribers they
ought to request the execution of the
artist

is Colorado, simply because of the en-

take this fact for an example.

The indications are that Senator
Blackburn will be defeated in the Ken
lucky race for Senator. A fool popu-
list in that legislature will probably
vote for goldbug republican to defeat
free silver democrat, and yet the pops
will pose as the only true friends Of
free coinage.

The Democratic National Committee
has fixed upon July as the time and
Chicago as the place of holding the con-
vention to nominate their candidate.
The Populists have made their date
July 21 and st. Louis the place for their
convention. There are strong hopes
that the Populists will give way and
forego claims to all the yagaries of their
Omaha platform and make it possible
for all friends of FREQ coinage to join
them and make platform with only
one plank the financial one. If the
two old parties both allow themselves
to be dominated by Wall street, third
party, for. free coinage, might have a
a grand opportunity. If the Populists
are wise enough to see this, the July,
st. Louis convention may stand fair
show of naming the winning ticket.

We have always endeavored to keep
up with the Statesman in publishing
items inspiring hope in the construc-
tion Of an Owyhee railroad, but we
give up now. That interview with Mr..
Dickinson comes too nearly meaning
nothing for us to give it consideration.
Mr.. Dickinson simply says, in effect,
that the receivers of his bankrupt road
will be ready to enter into a traffic ar
rangement with an Owyhee road when
one is constructed. OF course they will.
We can't see any necessity Of announc-
ing such a fact in scare head lines.
