HOT FOR BRYAN.

The Knnsas City Star, an advocate
Of the single gold standard says that
Congrt ssmau Hall, of Missouri, "made
things so hot for ex Congressman
Bryan in tbs silver discussion ut
Huntsville, that the silver champion de
clned to answer questions addressed To
him and refused to repeat the joint de.
bate at Mobeily."
4 little later, we are told 10y the ptess

at his county convention where the 10 to

A BLIZZARD

Denver, April l3 "A great snow and
wind storm which brought trains to a
standstill on the divide between Denver
and Colorado Springs yesterday on all
roads except the Santa Fe, abated dur.
ing the night, and to-day the sun is
shining brightly and the railroads are
again open.
At Monument and Palmer Lake,
where trains were stalled, there is eight
inches OF snow on the level, and in
places the drifts are twenty feet deep.
Further south the snowfall was even
greater. At Trinidad over two feet Of
snow fell, and hurricane drifted snow
into banks ten to fifteen feet high,
blocking all thoroughiares.
Tho west bound Santa Fe trains and
one Gulf passenger train are tied up at
Trinidad.
On the Ration mountains the storm was
more intense than anywhere else, the
snow drifting as high as twenty feet. The
storm extended from La Junta TO Las
Vegas, but was not severe south OF
Ration.
In Pueblo the wind attained velocity
of 81 miles an hour. Two tall smoke.
stacks OF the Citizens Electric Light
works were blown down. Glass was
blown out Of windows and telegraph
wires were badly mixed.
On the rrairies to the east tho storm
will benefit tho runchmen who have pui
in large acreage of small grain, but It il
believed s, me cattle have perished IN

In the Cripple Creek district q number
Of buildings and many tents, in which
miners and prospectors lived, were
blown down, aud the Anchora .Lolant
shaft house was demolished. The
Cripple Crock Commission company
threestory building was blown down
and then consumed by fire. Man!
small fires started in camp. but wcr'

REHAR RDED.

The efforts of the EAGLE, during tho
past few months, to procure reliable
data which it might lay before it's
readers relative to the position of the
Albuquerque Democrat, the leading
morning political journal of the terri
tory, on the absorbing topic OF silver
coinage, have at last been rewarded aud
that digniiied daily has finally conde
ecanded to define its attitude thereon
and dispel the doubt which for 30 many
weeks has overwhelmed its multitude Of
readers and friends. We quote:
"The "goldbug' and "silvcrbug" have ex-
sted for years, but this year of politics has
brought out the "straddIebug"
Some poop'e, especially those who
have not been careful readers OF our
contemporary, may conclude that the
above is not such an article as might
have been expected from that source,
but when we consider that this IL the
first attempt and that it is the evident
intention OF the editor to reach the
discussion Of the great subject grad
ually and until his eyes become accus-
toned to the glaring light which no
is just approaching, advance but slowly
We ought to be satisfied with the be.

so much importance to members OF III
party who desire and are expected tC

FATHER TO THE THOUGHT.

The following tier, from the Eddy
Argus, will be relished as a numerous
production, by people here who happen
to know something Of the facts. The
Argus says:
There is a stoppagc of proceedings in the
further advancement of the FL Paso and
White Oaks road. Practically there has never
been anything done, with the exception of
voluminous prospect work, and an energetic
effort to secure from the citize of Ell Paso
Il considerable bonus. But now further prog
ress along even these lines will be stopped.
The FL Paso papers exercise discrcte silence
concerning the matter, but letter received
by prominent contractor residing in this
valley, from an official of the proposed road,
high in authority, divuges the information
that all work has been stopped, engineers
cal ed in, and that payment of 81 laries ceased
on April I'd. While no announcement of in
tcntons has been made by the promoters,
the facts would indicate that the building of
the road is doubtful in the extreme. The
scheme has never been received with conf
dehce either by the people of Ell Paso or
White Oaks, and apparently they ha little
faith in its construction. They have been
so frequently disappointed i'll proposed eX-
tensions of this line that their faith is weak
and it would appear that this is but another
entry Oh their record of disappointments.
Inasmuch as work is still being push
ed in the Salado and on the Carrizozo
flats up to this date, it would not ap-
pear that "all work has been stopped,
or that payment Of salaries ceased on
April %" Besides, on the 18th inst, a
| large number OF coal claims at SaladU
we're paid for and the transfers made,
II the enterprise had been abandoned
these purchases would not have been
concluded and the money amounting
to several thousand dollars, paid over to
the former owners.
But when we consider that the paper
from which the above article is clipped
is owned aud controlled by the Peco'
Valley Company which is antagouizin9
the Ell Paso and White Oaks road, it il
not at all surprising that such repor
should find it's way to the columns 0
the argus. Tho wish was father t.

THE NEW SURVEY,
-NeC Mel

We met Chief Engineer Ballard OF
the railroad survey, last Saturday, and
in response to our inquiries i'll regard to
the new survey now being run, said
"We leave the old line about thirty
miles from here; will go east of Railroad
mountain and by the large lake, thence
to Red lake and get back to our oligi-
nal line this side Of the sand bills. This
change will, We think, put the road on
better ground, with water along at con--
venient dis ances, and does not increase
the distance between points" From
our knowledge of the country we think
that this new line will not be more than
four miles fIom tho old one at any point
and at the east end OF Railroad mouu.
tain there is large quantity of iron ore
that may be valuable commercially,
when we get line to the coal fields.

Silver is not dead, but appears to be
in for fight to the finish, and the So
called democrats who are posing as gold
standard advocates had best get into
the republican ranks where they belong,
or at least stand aaide while the demo-
cratic procession moves on. They will
certainly be crushed beyond recognition

GOOD NEWS FOR DEMOCRATS


In seventeen counties IN Missouri the
democrats held conventions and in every
convention but one. free coinage rssolu
tions were adopted. This shows beyond
all question that democratic sentiment
in Missouri has undergone no change
whatever except to become more firmly
convinced that the only reasonable
remedy for the present condition Of
affairs is to restore silver to its old place
in our monetary system.
Following the very Interesting and
agreeable news that Josiah Patterson.
of Tennessee, who has been going about
the country preaching in favor of the
gold standard, has suffered an over.
whelming defeat in his district, the an.
nouncement from Missouri shows that
genuine democrats everywhere are
getting into line in bohalf of the true
principles Of their party.
Josiah Patterson IS that man, who, in
defiance Of the traditions OF his party
and of the views of the democrats who
elected him to congress, fell down aud
worshiped the golden calf OF Wall
Street. AS an evidence of his new born
zeal he has been going about the
country dealing out the arguments OF
those who desire to rob and enslave the
people for the benefit of the few who
control the available supply Of gold.
AS an omissary of the gold interest
Patterson was anxious to be Gent as a
( delegate TO the democratic national con
vention.
But his purpose has been nippod in
the bud, The democrats OF his district
have declared in favor Of the free coin
age OF silver, consequently Josiah Pat
terson has no prospect OF going tc
Chicago as delegate, uuess, indeed
the republicans Of his district conclude
that he is the man for their purpose and
even then hs would so to st. Lsuit
and not TO Chicago.
These eyents-tho turning down O
Patterson and the well nigh UNANIMOUS
drcla ration of seventeen counties OF
Missouri show that the democrats o.
the country are not yet ready TO desor
their time honored principles and en-
doree the vicious republican doctris,
which they have been fighting actively
Tor twenty odd years. As il is in othe
democratic states, 30 il will be il

statements Of those who have broom

Although English school boards have

hand, are bent on teaching them how
to roll with effect during the two
chances allowed them.
In case of miss the throwers feel
the disappointment fully as keenly as
the audience.
There is much jealousy between the
players, and all feel sore toward Anton,
who seems not to care, as he is big
fellow, who knows that he can lick
the crowd While the others are
throwing he walks over to Miss Begun,
female rhinoceros, whose pen adjoins
the bowling alley. The courtship be-
tween these two brutes seems to afford
as much pleasure to the visitors as the
bowling game. Miss Begun has habit
of standing perfectly motionless for
hours at time, but as soon as Anton
swings his trunk over the six-foot fence
there is a languid turning Of the bulky
head, and a noticeable recognition In
the little piggy" eyes.
1t requires great winking and squint-
ing and trunk coaxing on the part OF
Anton to induce much response from
the phlegmatic coquette, who, however,
finally succumbs to the proboscical in
1uence.
After the courtship Anton feels more
encouraged, especially so long as Miss
Begun remains an interested spectator.

PLAY TEN-PINS.
Elephants Who Can Bowl Full as Well
"a Men.

Elephants Who Can Bowl Full as Well
as Men.
A phenomenal achievement in animal
training must be credited to the ex-
perts Of the Berlin Winter Garden,
where large crowds are privileged to
witness every night an interesting game
of ten-pins by elephants.
The antics of the dumb players pro-
woke hilarious laughter. The champion
roller thus far is Berlin's favorite ele-
phant upon whom the plebian name OF
Anton was imposed some two years
ago, when he became a German citizen.
His score sometimes reaches 2OO, which
is not often beaten by human players.
His keeper talks of matching him with
bowling experts for the worlds cham
pionship.
The ball, is of course, manipulated by
the trunk with which the elephant
seems to be able to pitch with wonderful
dexterity. Two elephants, "the boys,
are stationed near the ten-pins at the
lower end of the alley. They throw the
balls back through the chute as soon as
the marker has chalked the score on the
blackboard. Another thick skinned
hoy" replaces the pins in order. The
latter is careful not to touch the pins
until the marker has done his work.
Anton very often makes a strike when
his turn comes; that is, he knocks all
the pins down on the first roll The
other players feel happy when they can
make spare"
The trainers have great difficulty in
making the elephants give up their
positions SO long as any pins are left
standing. They will stand and stamp
near the chute clamoring for more
balls with which to knock down the
remaining pins. 1t is hard to drive the
all-absorbing thought from their minds
that the aim of the game is to keep on
rolling until all the pins have been
thrown over. The keepers, on the other

STATE NICKNAMEs.
Applications Once Fitting Lose Force
With Advancing Civilization.

State nicknames in this country have
begun to lose their aptness. New Hamp-
shire's name, the Granite State" fits
almost as well some other mountainous
States, and she never really deserved to
be called the Switzerland of America,
since her mountains are but hills COM
pared with the mountains of Sw1tzer-
land. Several of the Rocky Mountain
States more nearly deserve this title.
Colorado for example, has forty-one
mountains more than 14,OOO feet high,
and, in all, 139 mountains more than
1o,oOO feet high. Colorado's own name
or the Centennial State" is one that no
other can ever dispute with her, though
1t looks as if Colorado might dispute the
name Of Golden" with California, says
the New York Herald
Names forests are disappearing so
rapidly that some of the Northwestern
States may soon have a better title to
the name pine Tree State" There are
more famous bays than that of Massa-
chusetts, and certainly Chesapeake
Bay, if considered only as a body of
water, has more distinction than Massa-
chusetts, and, historically, the Chesa-
peake is quite as famous, so that the
name bay State" might, with aptness,
be given to Maryland.
There are quite as characteristic green
mountains elsewhere in the United
States as those that gave Vermont her
French name. The Empire State
seems inappropriate to any democratic
community, but it is appropriate to New
York, if to any State of the Union, and
1t is likely to be a long while before
Texas even can lay claim to the title
The name that Texas takes pride in,
THE Lone Star State" is certainly hers
by right, as she is the only State to have
come to be an independent republic,
totally unconfederated with any other
State. Pennsylvania is no longer the
keystone Of the Unions arch, just as it
is no longer politically true that as
Pennsylvania goes so goes the Union.
If Delaware ever deserved her name of
the Diamond State she certainly can
not claim it against Rhode Island, since
the latter is not only much smaller, but,
as well, much richer.
No State disputes Virginia's pictur-
esque name, the "Old Dominion" though
it dates back to a time when our At
lantc Coast knew only two defined po-
litical divisions-New England and
Virginia. Ohio'S buckeyes are no longer
distinguishing feature of her rapidly
disappearing woodlands. Indiana is be-
ing civilized out of her Hoozierdom, and
the wolverine must be pretty scarce in
the State to which the beast has given a
nickname
Connecticut has learned so many
smart tricks since the days of the tradi-
tional wooden nutmegs that her neigh
bors could easily discover an apter
name of reproach. Louisiana doubtless
has as many pelicans as Florida or any
other State, and so may we'll hold to her
nickname, while North Carolinians are
properly called tar heels" since their
State is still famous for tar and kindred
products.
