Much is being said in depreciation Of
an alleged effort to array section
against section and class against class
but it is extremely doubtful that any
body Is really DESTROYS of bringing
about any such result. As regards the
various sections of the country, if one
is to judge by the reception which the
free silver candidate has been accord
ed in the territory in which the gold
sentiment has been popularity supposed
to be largely in the ascendant. the peo-
pie seem TO be pretty evenly divided on
the question at issue.
AS regards the classes, reference IS
of course made in this connection to
the rich and the poor-those who are
engaged in productive labor and those
who are not. 1t is noticeable that the
men who are in no way connected with
productive industries, the men who clip
coupons and deal in securities. the men
who control great combinations Of cap
ital ar already, almost without excep-
ton on one side. The remainder of the
people only are divided. An effort to
bring the minority of these to the view
Of an undoubted majority can there
fore, hardly be cnstrued as an effort to
array one class against another or one
section against another.
The producing classes are generally
speaking conscientious and honest IL
The belief that what is good for them is
good for the entire country, since on
their labor is dependent the country's
welfare. They do not profess a willing
ness to sacrifice their own interests for
The good of the country as do their

convinced that their interests and the
nations interests are Identical
It is absurd for any party. any set Of
men or any class of men to lay claim
to all the patriotism in the country
Few are willing to lend aid to any
measure detrimental to the public
good unless actuated by strong private
interests which enable them to profit
by the adversities of the masses. Even
these must be very short sighted not to
see that purely selfish policy must be
worse for them in time.
It IS equally absurd for any class to
lay claim to all the wisdom. The mill
lionaire is no wiser, no better informed,
no more industrious, no more patriotic
than thousands Of day Iaborers. His
methods of accommodating his millions
are fully understood by the farmer and

BROKE SIGNALING RECORD
Corps at Los Angeles Uses Sky for a
Blackboard.

Los Angeles. Aug. 31-A splendid feat
was accomplished and the worlds rec
ord broken by the signal corps of the
First brigade, N. G. C., today. and a
practical demonstration given of the
excellent progress made by this branch
of the national guard. After five prev
iOus attempts the signal corps succeed
ed in signaling between the top of
Black Jack peak, Catalina Island, and
Mount Wilson. Corporal Washburn
and Private Swisher were on Black
Jack and Lieutenant Lawrence, with
thirteen members of the corps, were on
Mount Wilson, having gone up the old
trails Saturday evening. At 1:1O
o'clock the squad on Mount Wilson
caught the return flash from Black
Jack, and several messages were sent
and received, the last one reading:
over one stretch of seventy-three
miles of land and sea the signal corps
sends greeting to the people of Los An
geles-'
This success of the signal corps
breaks the state record for distance
and the worlds record for signaling
over water.

BICYCLES IN IRELAND.
American Wheels Preferable to Brit
ish Because They are Lighter.

American Wheels Preferable to Brit
ish Because They are Lighter.
Washington, Aug. 29.-Ameriean BIZ
cycles are having run in ireland, ac-
cording to a report by vice consul A.
Dom Pfatt at Dublin, to the state de-
partment He says the cycling press OF
the entire United Kingdom is wrought
up over the American invasion as the
advent of American wheels is called.
The British makers try TO show that
the lightness Of American wheels is at
the cost of strength and that it will not
last.
The points most criticized are the
shape of the tubes, the form of the
wheels, the crank bracket bearing. the
width of tread, the chain adjustment,
insufT1ciency of mud guards and espec-
tally the use Of single tube tires. The
use of wooden rims and light chains
are pointed out to be points of weak
ness. The consul advises that Amer
lean wheels for the English-Irtsh mar
ket should have q gear case if desired.
Detachable or single tube tires should
be optional. An easily detachable brake
and mud guard should accompany each
machine. At the same time the consul
says American manufacturers should
refuse to alter small details of con-
struction, as he predicts that the for
eignerS will ultimately come to recOg-
nize the superiority of the American
machines.

MISS RsTELLE REEL.

ing the duties of an executive Office as
her male contemporaries in Wyoming
politics. Now her friends are urging
her claims as an available candidate for
the gubernatoria1 nomination by her
party, which will be made in 1898.
It is fortunate for Miss Reel that the
election does not come this year, for she
is not quite 80 years old and therefore
not yet eligible to the Office. She is an
attractive young person, and one of the
best campaigners the state has ever
known. While making the race for the
Office she now fills three years ago she
practically visited every country in the
state and made over 500 political
speeches. She covered hundreds of miles
on horseback, and at every night func-
ton at which the cowboys of the sur
rounding ranches were present the po-
liticaI feast of reason was followed by
dance.
Every waltz, so it was calculated,
was good for three votes-that of her
partner and two others he was sure to
corral by his eloquent description of the
grace and ease with which she tripped
the light fantastic.
Should she be nominated for governor
a repetition of this campaign is consid-
cred certain and her election is by no
means improbable. She led the Repub-
lican ticket several thousand votes, and
she can be depended upon to lead her
opponent a merry dance, at all events,
both before and after the state conven-
ton.
Wyoming is the state ia which WON
an suffrage practically had it's official
birthplace and has the honor of electing
the first woman justice Of the peace in
the country-Mother Morris, who held
Office 40 years ago and who had to
sit in judgment on her husband before
she had worn the ermine one week, and
he got the limit.
So it can be seen that Of all states in
the Union Wyoming has a prior claim
to new woman governor.

TO TAKE SKELETON CAMP.
Plan to Capture the Bandits in New
Mexico.

Silver City. N M, Aug. Blowing
to the roughness of the country United
States Marshal Hall has deemed 1t
better to rely upon experienced front
iersmen in the attempt to capture the
bandits entrenched in Skeleton camp
near the New Mexico line and has re-
cruited sufficient deputies to make an
attack without the assistance of troops
which have been ordered to return to
FIT. Bayard and FIT. Grant. Marshal
Hall and force win reach the strong
hold Of the robbers Saturday night and
expect to attack it early Sunday morn
ing according to present plans.
1t is now definitely known that the
leader of the bandits is the notorious
Joe George, who headed the gang
which held up the Southern Pacific
train near STEMS Pass, in this terri
tory, about one year ago and VINO es-
capped from the Colorado authorities.
It is said that the reason the robbers
are remaining in the canon is to care
for two men who were wounded in a
recent fight with the sheriff's posse at
NOgales.

bell bonded it for SO, 900. They en-
ployed Creede at So day, a grub stake
and a third interest to prospect for them.
While Creole was working near the
Holy Moses some Germans discovered
rich stuff on an adjoining mountain.
These Germans were ignorant of min
ing. Creole, pretending to befriend
them, instructed them to shift their
stakes. They followed his advice. and
he put new stakes where they had taken
theirs ont, naming it the Amethyst.
This was the find which made the town

the Last Chance, and this also proved a
big mine
Creole sold out and got about $780,
600 for his interest. Altogether he has
made about 81, 500, 600 and has lost
most of it through bad investments, and
not by extravaganza. He never aban-
doned the habits of economy fostered by
long years Of privation and hard work
