Considering the complaints heard
all over the state, the governor
ought to call for an extra session of
the legislature and ask for the re-
peal of every act passed last winter
except the per diem and mileage
appropriation law, which seems to
be the only one enacted without a
flaw, and then insist on the repeal
of that on the ground that the
members never earned their money,
and should not have been paid

A dispatch from Leadville, May
10th, says: An agreement having
been reached by the owners of the
principal mines in the downtown
district, the pumping, stopped last
winter while the strike was on, will
be begun next week. The arrange.
ment for pumping will result in
the employment of probably 1000
men within six months.

w. B. Bradbury. a San Francisco
millionaire, was sentenced one day
last week to "a hours imprisonment
in the county Jail for violating the
civic ordinance prohibiting expec-
torating on the floor of street cars.
This was Bradbury's second offense.
He claims the privilege of splitting
when and where he pleases as an
inalienable American privilege, and
will make a test case of his punish
ment.

NO COMPROMISE.
Bryan Says There Is No Middle Ground
for Democrats and Boltera

William J. Bryan telegraphet
from Lincoln, Neb., May 18th tn.
following statement made in reply
to the question of how the Demo
cratic party can be united again
He says:
Il might reply to your inquiry
by saying that there is now entire
harmony within the Democratic
party. The members of the party
were never more united in purpose
nor more jealous than at the present
time; neither is there lack of har-
mony among the boiling Democrats.
They seem just as determined to
carry out Republican policies as
they were during the campaign.
eff, however, you mean by your
question to ask whether there is
any common ground upon which
the two Democratic organizations
can meet, answer, No! The regu-
lar Democrats and the boilers now
have separate and distinct party
organizations. No matter which is
regarded as God and which as Nam
mon, no one can serve both. 1t is
as impossible for person to belong
to both Democratic organizations
as it is for person to be both a
Democrat and Republican at the
same time.
mo Democrat who believes that
the gold standard is a conspiracy
formed among the money changers
for the enslavement of the pro-
ducers of the wealthy can act with
the gold Democrats, and no gold
Democrat who believes that the
restoration of silver will ruin the
country can act with the regular
Democrats. If anyone who now
believes in free coinage hereafter
comes converted to the gold stand
ard, it will be an easy matter for
aim to transfer his allegiance to
he boiling organization; if any
me who now believes in the gold
standard becomes convinced of his
'rror, the way is open for his return
o the regular organization; but
ny attempt at compromise will
lot only be futile but will be disas-
rous to the regular organization.
Simetallism can only be restored
y affirmative action, therefore any
ompromise must be at the expense
f the advocates of bimetallism.
There can be no permanent peace,
Of even truce, without a cessa-
on of hostilities, and a cessation OF
ostilities means the preservation
existing conditions. In other
'ords, harmony between the regu-
ar democrats and the boilers means
ne maintenance of the gold stand
rd as long as that harmony lasts
mot only does harmony mean
re temporary maintenance of the
old standard, but it gives to the
old Democrats II party standing
hich will make them more potent
n evil in the next contest. Much
the harm which they did in 1896 G
Few out of the fact that they used c
le Democratic name for the pur- r
ose of deception. {
"If the boiling organization is
IT alone it will be powerless to de- !
i've by the time we enter upon
,other national contest. If, how a
'er, the two organizations patch d
, temporary peace, the distinc-
On between them will become to n
me extent obliterated and the z
me fraud can be perpetrated in t.
'OO which was perpetrated in 1895. il
The regular Democrats have b
erything to lose and nothing to h
in by making concessions to those O
40 desire to use the Democratic u
me without supporting the Dem C
ratio principles"

Secretary of the Colorado Senate
John Bloor was convicted last Sat.
urday by jury of having secreted
the salary bill to prevent it's passage
the last night of the session, and
the punishment was fixed at one
years imprisonment. He was denied
further bail and is now in Jail.
The bill in question had passed
both houses the last day, but was
never signed by the Speaker of the
House. 1t would have cut down
salaries of county officers and the
number and salaries of deputies 33
per cent.

The editorial which appeared
IN the Boise Sentinel Of the 10Th
inst and to which you refer has
caused ME more uneasiues than
anything emanating from popu.
list source in recent wears.
i am at a loss to explain the
motive actuatlng those who are re-
sponslb!e for the article and after
conversation with some of them
md that they are not in a condi.
loh 10 explain the object which
inspired them in the prep ration
OF IT, They repudiate portion of
1t, and give the remainder a half
hearted support. If there was anv
danger of a considerable number
OF the populists endorsing the
course mapped out by the Sentinel
SO tar as the silver question is con.
cerned, the result would be dis,
asterous.
There is one feature of the edi.
torial that l heartily endorse
when the writer urges populists to
perfect, strengthen and push their
organization. his advice is good,
and the only regret that can be
offered is that the Sentinel has not
done this months ago.
As to the attack on the silver
republicans and democrats at this
time, it is uncallid for and in bad
bad form. Since the silver repub-
llcans walked out of the conyen.
ton at St. Louis and the democrats
adopted the Chicago platform,
have been at all times in favor O!
harmonizing the silver forces
Some of the silver republicans may
have gone back to the regular or
ganization, but there is yet a large
following OF them who are as true
silver men and as loyal patriots a.
can be found in any political or
ganization.'

Both Had Their Nerve.

Probably the coolest exhibition
OF nerve seen in this vicinity was
witnessed by score Of men at tho
shooting gallery last Tuesday
night, says the Skaguav News.
Charles Westurland had just COM
pleted high score i'll the prize
contest, and had also shot at and
smashed few clay pipes, when a
man by the name OF Mr.. Acker APP
preached the crowd. Standing
near by was f. I. Halsted, of
Tacoma, and he jokingly asked
Mr.. Acker if he was ready to shoot
pipe out of his (Halsted's)
mouth at the ,35-foot range. The
crowd standing around thought it
Joke, but were surprised when
Hals,ed stuck the pipe in his
mouth and walked to the end OF
the range. Mr.. Acker aimed a
little more cautiously than he ordi-
nerily would have done. Bang!
The amazed spectators saw the
pipe f1v into atoms. 1t appears
that the onlookers were more
astonished than were the modern
William Tell and his son. 1t is
also worthy of note that the matter
was entirely unprecedented. nor
had the principals ever practlced
the quiet little game.
When asked why he reposcd SO
much confidence in Acker's ability
as a mark sman and also his steady
nerve under such trying circum-
stances, Halsted replied that he
had seen the man shoot the pre-
vious night, and noticed he was
remarkably steady both with pistol
and rifle. He also knew that the
mark sman was hunter by pro-
fession, hunting mostly for large
game for the Chicago fur market
The man had spent eight consecu-
tive wears in the Yukon country
and coupled with another, con
WINGED Halsted in a flash that the
man possessed the necessary
amount of nerve to do the act a:
described above.

There has been talk Of combina-

md Of counter demands that the

If. Boyce is credited with being a
traiqht middle of-the.road ticket,
and it was after his visit here that
he editorial in the Sentinel APP
hpared that has caused the bleth-
len SO much anxiety.
Mr.. Fuller came ostensibly to
straighten out Mr.. Heitfeld's inter
Est in the paper. 1t seems that he
has accomplished the business
erand to his satisfaction, for the
paper now flies the names off, H.
Anderson as president and G. c.
Fuller as manager, Mr.. Walton re-

that displays these changes pub
dishes the editorial that has caused
the breeze. One element of the
party, aud very large one at
that, constructs it as the Inaugural
ton of policy making the silver
question subsidiary to the fiat idea,
and, further, as the beginning of a
fight for a straight ticket. Others
are inclined to Withhold Judgment,
claiming that it may not mean SC

SNAKES.

The serpent has two lungs, but only ona
Is developed, the other being parliamentary
Snake experts say that of all venomous
reptiles the rattlesnake is the most deadly.
A snake has a liver, which, fortunately,
however, does not often get out of order,
only one lobe being developed.
A snake finds the same difficulty in
crossing plate of glass that a man expe-
riences in walking upon very smooth ice.
Throughout the East Indies arsenic, in
pills or liquid solution, is considered an
infallible remedy for the bite of the cobra
and other poisonous snakes.
The cobra, or spectacle snake, " from
the markings on his back, when angered,
distends the neck, just below the head,
sometimes to or inches in breadth.
Students of history are inclined to be-
heve, from the commonness of the dragon
tradition in almost every country, that q
serpentlike animal with feet probably once
existed.
The kings of Assyria and of Babylon
adopted for their standard great red
dragon, and the same emblem was employ
ed by Cyrus in the Persian and Median
armies
The snake has more back bones or verte-
brae than any other creature, for serpents,
even of the smallest size, commonly have
more than 100. Some of the largest Py-
| thons and boas have over 400.
The story about the rattlesnake charm
ing birds and small animals has been re-
peated so often and with such circumstan-
TALLY of detail that the naturalists con-
| cede there is a strong probability of Its
truth.
The life of the serpent is sometimes pro-
tracted far beyond period that would be
| deemed reasonable In the python temples
of western Africa there are serpents which
are known to have been there a century
md half ago.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.
