IN NEBRASKA

The Cheyenne Tribune Of this morn
ing has the following accoun of the re-
lay race east OF Cheyenne:
On his arrival Green turned the pack,
e: over to Henry Lawrence Doyle, as
sistant advertising manager of rhe New
York Journal. who was here for the
purpose, and who opened it. saw it
properly endorsed, closed it, threw it
across the ready shoulders of Leslie
and gave the word Go" at exactly 1854
p. m. Leslie was trailed out of the city
by Harry A!Clarke. scheduled for Arch
err in go minutes.
Leslie arrived at Archer at 2:39: 80.
About two minutes were consumed
transferring the pouch at this point and
1T was 2:32 when AL. Granger. followed
by his brother Frank, left the station.
The wind which began blowing when
Leslie left this city and which increas-
ed steadily was blowing a gale in the
faces Of the Granger brothers as they
sped along over the prairie. They made
an excellent ride, considering the cut
up condition OF the roads and high
wind, and delivered the pouch to Walk
er and c. Glenn at the Atkins pump
house at 1858. About a minute was
consumed at this point making the
transfer. and II was nearly 1855 when
the packet left. A stiff head wind and
rough roads were encountered by these
two riders, but they handed the pouch
to Ed. Glenn and Jim Bennett at Hills
dale at exactly 3:16, having made the
ride of seven miles in q minutes, or
seven minutes better than schedule
time.
In transferring the pouch at Hills
dale Walker dropped 1T and Glenn rode
over 1t with his wheel. returning to
pick 1t up. 1t was 3:17 when he and
Bennett left. The wind had Increased
10 a high gale and 1t was with difficulty
that the boys got started. Blu they were
game, however, and were soon lost to
view. They arrived at Egbert at 400.
having covered the distance In 81 min
utes. or six minutes better than sched>
ule time. They returned ON No. l and
reported that the road ON their relay
was awful, being covered with mud
puddles, ruts, sand, etc. 1t bears the
reputation of being a bad piece Of road
and considering the high wind. the ride
made by these riders a one OF the
best in Wyoming. They also finished
the sixth day of the relay out from San
Francisco.
Sam Bailey then took the pouch to
Pine Bluffs. His relay was a rough one
but Sam is a plugger and reduced the
schedule time four minutes. He de.
livered the packet to Moore OF Kimball,
who made a good ride and then turned
it W. to Bobby" Lafontaine. The
latter made an excellent ride over
rough roads and arrived at Kimball at
6:26 p. m. which was exactly on the
schedule. This was the f1rst time the
packet had been on time since leaving
San Francisco. Bobby Is always ON
time. and, OF course. couldn't do other.

THE SENATE HANDICAP.

The statement is credited to William J. Bryan that he did not desire to go to the United States senate, as prelimi
 nary to his next presidential campaign. If this is true, he has shown wisdom. The instance is not on record for half a century, and, perhaps, much longer, where a man has reached the presi- dency directly from the senate. Gar fields case is the nearest to it, and he had not really served in the senate
 and hence had none of it's embarrass- ment. Aspirants to the presidency from the senate who have failed are many in our history, and they include the most eminent names. Clay, Web ster, Cass, Seward and Chase were among them. Clay resigned his seat in that body before he began his pres idential campaign, but the record he and the others had made there was al ways in the way of their ambition Pierce and Buchanan were the only presidents elected by the people in the time we have noted who had ever been senators. The fact that Pierce had sat in that body had been practically for gotten, and Buchanan had had the ad-
 vantage of being four years out of the country. The luck, if nothing more,
 is clearly against senators becoming
 presidents. There is another reason
 why Bryan should not take a senator
 ship. The test of his talent in compe-
 tition with men he would encounter in
 that office would be more severe than
 anything he has yet encountered.

AMERICAN WOOL ABROAD.

The wool growers of Arizona will be a letter recently written by Consul
 Meeker, at Bradford, England to the department of state at Washington:
 Great interest has been manifested in Bradford recently by the continuous sale in small lots of American wool.
 Most of it has been territorial, chiefly Wyoming and Idaho. Of all grades,
 little over 100000 pounds has been sold here in the last few weeks at an
 average of 41ad @ cents) per pound.
 There are still large quantities held for sale. A wool dealer from Boston recently personally disposed of several lots and would have sold much more had not the prices at home stiffened
 while he was here. At the same time, freight rates advanced nearly 50 per cent; in fact, there is said to be no room on the ships for such freight on account of the movement of wheat cotton, apples, and produce to this side l from the United States. Therefore, for | the combined reasons of rise in price and expensive shipping rates, no more American wool is coming over at pres ent. The wool now on hand unsold is being held for a higher price. That which has been sold is of the merino type of short staple and is best suited for hosiery, though some of it will find
 it's way into lower grade worsted coat ings and stuff goods. Inquiry concern ing the satisfaction this territorial
 wool had given did not yield very grat-
 flying results. In truth, one buyer was
 of the opinion that the Boston ship
 pers had selected the very worst they
 had on hand to send over. This opin- ion was based upon the fact that in one lot there was 75 to 78 per cent
 waste, so that in top the wool had
 actually cost the buyer about A cents
 per pound and he was able to sell the
 top for only 34 cents. He said that the American manufacturers evidently
 understood how to manipulate this
 wool without such frightful loss. Woo
 merchants and men connected with the
 textile trade in general think that il
 would be wise for American wool buy CTS personally and through their trade journals and agricultural papers tC carry on campaign of education tha would result in bringing wool to the market in better condition. They statt , they have gone through this campaign with the English farmers and have finally educated them to point tha their wool is delivered in fairly goo( condition and comparatively free iron

Curtis, the veracious chronicler of Washington and other affairs, says that President Cleveland is receiving a great many applications for advice and counsel these days both in person and by mail, from gold stand ard Democrats as to the proper course for them to pursue regarding the next administration and the reorganization of the party The president thinks, so MT. Curtis says, that they should sup port Mckinley so far as consistent with their ideas of good government; that they should aid the Republicans in every way possible in maintaining the public credit and revising the cur rency laws, and that the alliance of gold standard men of both parties which was formed before the election should be maintained as long as free coinage is an issue before the people

POLITICAL PREACHING.

The Rev. Charles Conklin, univer- sity clergyman of Springfield, Mass, has given an after-election estimate of the effect of political preaching which impresses us as highly sensible. He says of it: :='
 "The damage is wrought by the re- sentiment it arouses in the hearts of those of contrary political faith. This resentment grows out of the feeling that the pulpit in political discussion is kind of towards castle. There can be no reply to charges made from the sacred desk. Another effect of politi- cal preaching is to make the church class institution. Like draws like. The partisan pastor will draw new people who think as he does upon these external matters. The pulpit can mould public opinon, develop the pub lie conscience much more effectively by indirect methods. Thousands upon the quiet, pervasive influence of the Christian teachings uttered by Chris tian preachers through many years.'
 The concluding remark here is a very just one. The pulpit, as far as it has effect, should mould the minds of men so as to induce them to take such just views of public affairs that there will be no call for the clergyman to get down into the political arena to enforce them more specifically.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE

Ayers Sarsaparilia enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits"
