The advocate., 1897-09-15


and the Rocky Mountain News is sup
porting the PopUlist nominee. The res
Olutlons OF tho convention indOrse the
Chicago platform and declare opposition
to all parties opposed TO that platform.
The following from Klondike letter
indicates how justice is meted out I'm
that section "A packer named Rice
contracted to take a mans outfit over
the Skaguay trail If the man went to
work on the trail. The man went to
work, but when it was finished Rice re-
fused to fulfill his contract. When Rice's
train reached the summit with a load II
was seized by the mounted police and a
vigilance committe and was unlOaded.
Rice will not be allowed to do any pack
ing until he fulfills his contract with the
man who worked on the trail"
In Colorado the Republicans nOmi-
mated Judge Hayt for Supreme Judge,
the Populists named Judge Gabbert, and
the Democrats named lawyer named
Gordon, from Trinidad. It appears that
Hayt is willing to stand on any platform;
Gordon was Cleveland supporter in
1892 even after the regular Democrat
convention had indorsed the Populist
electors; but Gabbert has clean record
In line with Popullsts on the money and
other questions. The Rocky Mountain
News, the Democrat paper Of Colorado,
refuses to support Gordon and will use
It's influence for Gabbert.
Ex-Attoney General Olney recently
published a letter in which the following
appeared: "7'he true objection to the
course pursued towards Doctor Andrews
by the corporation of Brown University
Is It's implied lnculcatlOn Of the doctrine
that an institution Of learning should,
above all things, get rich, and, therefore,
should square its teachings and limit
the utterances Of it's faculty by the inter-
ests and sentiments Of those who, for the
time being, are the rich men Of the COM
munlty The demOralizing and degrad-
ing character Of this doctrine your letter
fully exposes and thereby entities you to
the gratitude, not only of American cit
liens generally, but Of all well-wishers
to Brown University in particular"
Emperor William OF Germany recently
made speech In which he said that his
grandfather had been crowned as an in
strument Of God. The young King gives
additional evidence of a weak mental
condition by the following: my grand
father went forth from Coblentz to
mount the throne as the chosen instru-
ment OF the Lord, and as such he re-
garded himself For all Of us, more es-
pecially for us princes, he raised the
throne once more on high, crowning 1t
with the bright rays Of the treasure
which may we ever preserve In its sub
Unity and holiness. / mean the king
dom by the grace of God; the kingdom,
with its heavy duties, its never-endlng,
ever-endurlng tolls and labOrs, with it's
awful responsibility to the Creator alone,
from which no man, no minoster no
House Of Parliament, no people can re-
lease the prince. For me, 1t will be
sacred duty to hold my protecting hand
over this splendid province, and in the
tradition which has descended to us and
which remains stronger than iron-yes,
even than the walls of Ehrenbreiten-
stein to take this province to my heed
full heart, the heart of the father of his
country, and wish with all my heart that
her people may grow under the prOtec-
ton Of long lasting peace"
