I'uSiO1l Plans.

Negotiations towards ctfccting an
offensive and defensive alliance be-
tween Montana democrats and popu-
lists arc still in active progress The
plan is being met with weak resist
ance from old line democrats, such as
Sam IIauser and Joe Toolc, but the
prcponderance Of democratic scnti
ment seem to be in favor OF the
scheme, and its accomplishment
seems more and more probable as the
weeks roll by.
The initial step towards deciding
upon fusion ticket seems to be an
agreement upon the fusion nominee
for governor. Upon this subject the
Butte Bystandcr, the official organ Of
the west side populists, discourscs as
follows:
"The Bystandcr has heard quite a
lot OF talk the past week upon the
list Of possible candidates for the
goycrnorship, published in this paper.
The sentiment is unanimous that
they are all good men, the only point
possessed BY one over another being
in the point Of availability. So far
as heard, it appeared the general
opinion that Judge Pembcrton would
be a sure winner. In evidence OF
this is the great majority he received
as the peoples party candidate for
chief justice, and the fact that now
as then he would in all probability be
endorsed by the democrats if the
peoples party should first nominate
him. All Of which goes to show that
Judge Pembcrton would make the OPP
position hump itself if he were put
at the head Of the ticket"
The probable selection OF Hon. w
Y. Pcmbcrton for the gubcrnatoria
nomination is the first step towards
a full fusion state ticket. 1t will bt
noticed that the populist organ re-
fers to the judge as d populist, anc
recalls the fact that he was elected
chief justice as the populist nominee
four years ago. In a few days, prob
ably, the democratic press will bcgir
to discuss Judge Pcmbcrton's avail
ability. and impress upon the public
the fact thai he is consistent dem
ocrat, and WAS elected chief justice
on the democratic ticket in 1892.
The balance Of the ticket may bt
fixed up in the Same way. Thcrt
may be a little difficulty in finding
candidates who have confidence il
the ability and Judgment Of Hon
Grover Cleveland, and who at The
same time believe in free coinage anc

Through Yellowstone National Par o

This office is in receipt of the very
handsomest folder yet issued by the
Northern Pacific 1t is devoted to
the attractions Of the Yellowstone
National Park and Alaska, and the
inside is beautiful colored map Of
the Park, showing the location Of all
the points Of interest. The tour Of
the Park by bicyclists is becoming
quite popular, and in this connection
Mr.. Chas. S. Fee has issued the fol-
lowing circular letter to the agents
OF the road: =
Owing to the uncompleted condi-
tion of the roads in the Yellowstone
National Park, the Northern Pacific
railroad has heretofore refrained
from urging upon bicyclists the at
fractions Of this tour.
am now glad to advise you that
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Yellowstone Park is in the heart Of
the Rocky Mountains, it has over $50
miles Of we'll built government roads,
on the major part OF which will be
found excellent wheeling for bicy-
clests, especially from July ! to Sep
tember 20.
Although this business has not
been cultivated by the railroad and
park authorities in the past, l am
told by the Yellowstone Park Associ-
citation that during the season Of
1895, June lst to September Both, at
least 100 whcclmen made the ontire
tour Of the Park, putting up at the
Association hotels, where the rates
for the first week are $500 per day,
afterwards $500 per day.
These hotels, four in number, are
located from 20 to 40 miles apart.
The elevation Of the plateaus Of the
Park average about 5000 feet; the
valleys about 5000 feet. The days
are generally warm, the evenings
and nights quite cool, especially dur
ing the early and latter part Of the
season. Warm clothing, outer and
under garments, should be worn.
The shawl strap should include an
oycrcoat and macintosh, and as Il
matter Of prccaution it may be well
for the bicyclist to carry some qui-
nine, jamaica ginger and a small
flask OF brandy.
From those who have made the
Park tour on bicycles I learn that
their entertainment at the hotels BY
the Park Association has been entire
ly satisfactory, and that they have
found the roads, considering the
mountain district in which they are
laid, in reasonably good condition
for wheeling for the greater part Of
the distance, while the drivers Of the
Park Transportation vehicles have
always been willing to accord the bi-
cyclist his rights on the road.

these facts before bicyclists. IN cast
Of parties OF twelve or more desirin!

Good Work For Silver.

Concerning the good work which
the western silver senators arc doing
in the east through their opposition
to the enactment oi the Dinglcv bill,
Hon. Edgar Wilson, representative
in congress from Idaho, wrote to the
Idaho convention a letter from which
we make the following extract;
The action Of Senators Dubois,
Teller, Cannon, Garter ard Mantle
in refusing their votes to take up an
unrepublican tariff bill, unless it was
measure, has been the subject Of
much adverse. criticism in the east
and wherever the advocates of a gold
standard control. The vehemence
and bitterness indulged in by the
gold standard press is considerable
evidence that the silver senators were
justified in their position. In my
| judgment that action has been pro
ductive Of more good to the cause ol
silver than anything else which ha
been done since demonetizatio il
1873, and it is SO regarded through
out the financial country. 1t ha:
brought the financial question to the
attention OF the people as no othcf
act could have done, and has made it
the paramount issue today. The peo-
pie Of the east are now forced to con-
slider it, and that in itself is a great
advancement to the cause. In prin-
ciplc there can be only two sides to
the silver question; the single gold
standard and the double standard.
The vote Of our silver senators on
the Dinglcy bill has forced the peo-
pie Of the country to array them
selves on one side or the other. This
is a consumation most dcvoutedly to
be wished, by the friends of bmctal-
ism, and I congratulate the west on
it's accomplishment.
| believe Senator Dubois should
lead our delegation to the St. Louis
convention, because he is recognized
throuhOut the country as one of the
foremost leaders in this fight. An
overwhelming majority Of the people
Of Idaho believe in the free coinage
Of silver and protection to American
industries and American labor. and
these propositions arc allied in prin-
ciplc. l believe the convention will
so declare. No other political organ
iZation in Idaho will meet us on the
same lines. | therefore congratulate
the party on the certainty Of success
which awaits it in November.
Very truly yours,
EDGAR WILSON

Voorhees, to Retire.

La Porte, Ind, May 2l.-A pri-
yQtc letter received here from WASH
ington, u. c., conveys the infor'na-
ton that Senator Voorhees, will re-
tire from public life at the end OF his
present term. His failing health has
given his friends great concern for
more than a year, and it is his en-
fccblcd condition which caused him
to reach the decision that he will not
seek to return to the senate, in
which he has been Il conspicuous 1lg-
urc during his public career. 1T is
believed that he will seek to recover
his health by a trip to Europe.

It's Lots Of Fun.

Yes: it's lots of fun running a pa
per. People are always alive to the
fact that the grocer. the butcher, the
shoemaker and the clothing merchant
need money to pay for their goods,
their help, rent, lights, fuel, their
own living expenses, etc. But they
seem to think that the newspaper
man never needs any money. His

ing something's; his landlord would
rather let his building rent free to a
newspaper than to have a good pay
ing tenant; the printers devil keeps
the Office warm enough to work in
during the coldcst days in winter;
the Office is lit by the brilliancy Of
the editors intellect: the storckccpcr
has given the publisher standing
invitation to send his family around
to the store whenever they need any
groceries, shoes or clothing: every
day the butchers wagon leaves the
choicest cuts at the publishers home
and is glad to donate it; the farmer
takes pleasure in bringing in free all
the vegetable butter, milk and eggs
the family can consume; the paper
manufacturer is always willing to
ship a years supply Of paper and
never ask pay for it: the type found
er wouldn't accept Il cent for the type
and machinery used. and the rail
roads, Of course, never charge for
hauling printers supplies. Yes: as

the truant; and was found away off among
the manzanitas, breaking off great
branches and munching their dark and
shining berries. But that was in the first
days OF his responsibilities as assistant
herder-before Ford had trusted him alone
with the goats, and made him herder-in-
chief. A time, however, did come, after
much patient teaching, when-true as the
Pompeiian soldier to his trust-"Jack'
was the faithful guardian of his masters
1ocks. Jack" the goat-herd of the Cerro
Colorado.
From sIeeping in the cabin at his
masters side he came to sleeping IN the
gateway of the corral. An army could
not have invaded the goats stronghold
with the black bear on guard.
Nor was the tending of goats his only
duty. He carried all the firewood into the
log cabin and laid it down by the stove.
The halter ropes of two or three horses
would be given him between his teeth,
and he would lead them to water anu back
again. Strange horses, like human strang-
ers, were terribly afraid of him at first
sight, but Ford's horses knew, him as they
knew Ford himself.
One day Ford was breaking two-yeer-
old colt, and being obliged to go into the
house for something which he needed, and
having no post handy TO tie to, he gave
Jack" the batter rope to hold.

and apply it to the daily duties at hand.
So Jacks playdays were over. For he
had had playdays and playmates. There
had been times when Ford had left his
flock temporarily in care of a herder-
Spanish Leandro, from the other side of
the mountain, forty or fifty miles away
and then "Jack" and Jacks" master
went off on jaunts, when the master
hunted with rifle or shotgun and the bear
chased rabbits and squirrels-digging into
their holes till he captured them. Some
times their way lay across the mountain

Christmas is quiet day in Mexico. In
the afternoon the band plays on the Paseo
de la Reforma and all the world turns out
to drive or promenade. This boulevard is
10 feet in width, and with its glorietas
(circles) and its magnificent trees is one
of the finest driveways in the world.
Mexico also owes a debt of gratitude to
Carlotta for the creation of this paseo
As we drove out on the paseo last
Christmas with our friends we were es-
pecially attracted by the statue of Qua.
uhtemoetzin in the second glorieta.
Cuauhtemoetzin was the last Emperor of
the Aztecs. There is something stril-
ingly noble in the pose of the figure. He
seems every inch king. He is repre-.
sented as advancing and about to cast the
spear raised in his right hand. On his
feet are sandals and over his shoulders he
wears the royal robe, and on his head the
feathered crown. This memorial was de-
signed by Jiminez, the eminent architect.
On platform having four stairways,
each guarded by bronze leopards, stands
no mo- oil in vet
of these bears two reliefs and two in
scriptions. The reliefs represent-one the
captive Prince before Cortez, the other
the torture OF Cuauhtemoetzin and Tetle-
panpuetZal Crom whom. Cortez expected
TO learn where the royal treasure was hid
den). On the second part of the pedestal
are the names of four heroes and repre-
sentations of Aztec arms and shields.
The third section, beautifully ornamented
with ancient symbols, is surmounted with
the noble statns of Cuauhtemoetzin.
On the 2ist of August, the anniversary
of his torture, the Indians come from far
and near to do homage to his memory.
They have addresses in the Aztec language,
and some say they lie at the foot of the
memorial all night and weep over their
sufferings and wrongs and the loss Of their
ancient empire.
During our drive on the paseo we met
many of our friends, with whom we ex-
changed the pretty Mexican greeting OF
twlnkling the fingers, the beso soplado, as
it is called.
The day was perfect. The lovely blue
sky of Mexico was so clear ard so blue and.

became thoroughly frightened, plunging
and rearing about the yard. But, though
the strain was severe, the iron jaws did
not relax, albeit the little bear was dragged
ruthlessly to and fro, valiantly tugging at
the other end.
There were times when they would go
on a hunting expedition, miles away from
home, and Ford would leave his horse
and saddle, and the raw meat for his
luncheon-to be roasted over blazing cones
and his other traps under Jacks care.
On his return he always found everything
as he had left it. The bear would no
more touch any raw meat that he was left
to guard than he would have attacked
Ford himself And the horse would be
found herded not ten feet away from the
exact spot where he was left to Craze.
Jack would walk around the horse in a
circle, keeping him always within the
limit of his pasture.
If Ford had to go down in the valley-to
Livermore, fifty miles away-he would
kill goat and give it to Jack, with in
structions to look after everything well
while he was away. And who shall say
that the words that Ford used were not as
we'll understood as if the message had
been given In the silent speech of bear
with bear?
And is it a matter of any wonder that
those two loved each other as man rarely
loves his fellow-man? Does man ever find
