the loftiest mountain In America,
Mount Aconcagua, describes the pc.
culIar effect OF the wind on the upper

soft and rotten. and immense clouds
OF dust rise from H. at times com
pletely celebrating the sky. Rain never
falls on the mountain, and the water
carried up by the climbers for drink
ing purposes was frozen, and had to
be thawed out when wanted. Yet two
hours were sometimes expended IN
getting a Ere Ia burn.

every voter should be made to ap-

registration and swear TO the fact
that he is legally entitled to the
elective franchise In no in
stance should registration be per-
mited bv proxy. The registration
law OF California is a good one and

il is intended. Every voter must
appear before the registration

hair, color of eyes, country or state
Of nativity, description OF visible

affidavit TO the same before he is

description, is then printed in

there are a very few If any illegal

FREE SILVER CONSOLATION.

The Denver News looks upon the
Colorado ote as a great free silver vic
tory. That paper is easily consoled. If
a loss of about 81 per cent in the vote
OF the state is a matter for congratula-
ton, then the silver men of Colorado
have reason to rejoice. In 1896 the gold
standard men, or McKinleyites as they
were called. polled about 10 per cent of
the vote; this year they poled about 40
per cent, and it is asserted by Colorado
men that if the election had been de-
ferred W weeks Mr.. Wolcott would
have been elected governor.
What means this large change in the
sentiment of Colorado voters? Can it
be possible that their eyes are opening
to the fact that Colorado more than all
other states is directly benefited by the
sound financial policy of President Nc
Kinley? In 1900 Colorado will doubt
less be squarely in line with the ma
tional republican platform and will
give her electoral vote to the republic
can candidate for president.
