Bryan tho Choice.

A Denver News reporter obtaioed
the following interview with ex-(:on-
gresham A. M. Stevenson on his re-
turn from the silver convention held
at Chicago last week:
@While we did not meet to diecuss
candidates, Bryan is the logical can
didate of the silver forces in 1900,
and all Of tie delegates who attended
the conference appreciate that fact"
said Mr.. Stevenson. Il see some OF
the papers are talking Of Mr.. Towne
as a presidential candidate. but 1 do
not think that there is any serions
thought OF such a contingency at
present, nor is there likely to be.
Some remarkable facts we're
brought out at that conference, chief
of which was the showing made by
the Representatives from the middle
Western states. Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan. In the call of the roll of
delegates the representatives. OF the
different states ruade reports upon
the conditions and was surprised at
the showing made Of the growth OF
the silver sentiment. Judge Harper
of Ohio reported that there we're o.
600 members enrolled i'll the silver
Republican clubs In that state aud
that the numbers were being Increas-
ed daily and that there was no ques-
ton the silver cause would triumph
in the contest in Ohio this fall. Judge
Van Voorhees, of Indiana. reported a
mem bership OF 10000 in the silver
Republican clubs of that state, and
similarly encouraging reports were
received from almost every delegate
present. These reports convinced
the leaders Of the movement that they
had adopted the right plan to enlist
workers for the silver cause from the
Republican ranks. There is no ques
ton that the silver Republicans, the
Populists and the Dem ocrats OF the
silver school will unite in 1900 ON a
bimetallic candidate.
"The gold people are making much
ado about the recent action, of japan
in adopting the gold standard and
our conference decided to make an
investigation Of the workings and
conditions Of the people i'll the Orient
For that purpose Messrs. Cannon
Dubois, Pettigrew and Mantle will
leave in October for a tour through
China. Japan and other countries Of
the far East and will make detailed
report Of their studies and observa
tons"

A Wonderful Avenue.

Magnolia avenue, which has been the
pride of Riverside from it's founding,
and which has won a national reputa-
ton as q boulevard, has had two de-
fects. The streets leading to it were
usually dusty and d~isagreeable, while
the darkness of the avenue, owing to the
dense foliage Of the overhanging pepper
trees, made it a rather dismal evening
drive. All that is at All end. 1t is now
possible to drive from the heart of town
over macadamized streets, perfectly free
from dust and mud. direct to the peer
less Magnolia avenue, and if the drive
be taken in the evening arc lights are
encountered every 500 feet, giving
splendid illumination. When the ave.
nue. is reached, there is presented such
a sight us few, if any, towns possess.
The electric poles are but 1874 feet apart,
and from these brackets project about
three feet. From each bracket hangs a
cluster of three incandescent lights COW
cred with "a reflector, which throws the
light OH to the driveway.
AS one stands at one end of this row
of lights but four or five of them can be
distinguished as individual lights, the
remainder forming Il continuous chain
of fire which seemingly stretches away
for untold miles beneath the verdant
canopy of the arching pepper trees.
Modern as is the scene, it impresses the
behoider us al oriental fantasy worthy
of the Spanish Moors. The imagined
extent of the wondrous chain of fire,
however. is in u degree an optical illu.
sion. Instead Of being miles in length,
it is but "a little over u mile. Instead of
there being untold thousands of lights,
one is amazed to learn that there are
but $50, suspended from but so poles.
