A FREER ORGANIZATION.

A Meeting to BE HeIdIn Warrington
by Opponents of Collector white.
Special to tho Register.
MORGANTOWN, w. Va, February
CA conference Of Freer Republicans
is to be held In washington on We'd
nesday. A large number Of local Re-
publicans started this morning for
washington to attend the conference.
Those in the party were DR.. I. C.
White, w. E. Glasscock, &. M. Grant,
DR.. J. P. Fitch, M. l. Brown, w. H.
Morgan and Frank Cox. An organi-
cation will be formed and an active
campaign started to land the nominal
ton for Freer and defeat White for
the coveted honor. White is not at
all popular in this county, and it will
be solidly for Freer. They are very
much interested in the matter.
1t is fight between the machine,
which is for White. and the masses
of the party, who are believed by his
adherents to be for Freer. The ef-
feet that they can have against the
machine will remain to be seen. One
of the leaders of the party who left
here was asked as to what effect the
turn down of the machine would have
on the leaders of that organization,
and he stated that he did not know
but that the turn down would be ac-
complished if possible.
Local politics have settled down to
some extent Hon. George C. Sturgis,
who had threatened to becoem can
didate against E. NJ Grant for the
Legislature, has decided to stay out
of the fight since he has felt the pulse
of the people. He thought that Grant
had not properly represented the Uni
versity, although the largest appro-
priation ever given the school was OBJ
tanned by him.
For State Senate in this district this
county will be for Col. Tom Davis, of
Grafton. Among the other candidates
are Major Blue and the former Senator
Gramm, of Grafton. The latter has
lost caste here by boiling Dayton two
years ago. Preston is claiming that
she is entitled to the senatorship on
account of the present incumbent, Mr..
Lanhams, removal from Newburg to
Grafton, but the doctor still claims his
residence in Preston, and the claim
is not being seriously considered. Sen
ator Fast retires this time.
Dayton's chances for denomination
are believed to be better than they
were two years ago. The soreness in
Preston, Taylor and Mineral has died
out, and he has the organization solid.
The other aspirants will have to wait a
while longer before they can get any
thing. He promised last time to re-
tire with another term, but wants it
again, and is working all his wires
for the denomination.

ENORMOUS CROWDS

visited the Hall where the Remains

nnds of Floral Tributes.
CONVICTION, KY, February 6.--ThiH
has been the most memorable day in
the history OF Kenton county. The
great crowds of people continued all
day and all night around the Odd Eel
lows hall. During the afternoon sew
eral women tainted. Many came
from long distances on both sides of
the river. A dozen street car lines
were overtaxed in conveying people
across the river. The schools in
Campbell and Kenton counties were
closed and procession after procession
of pupils passed through the hall.
Most of then carried flowers to strew
around the catafalque. The hail was
full of floral tributes before the casket
arrived, and tonight it is vast bed
of flowers. The floral designs came
from both sides of the river, and from
a score or more of Kentucky counties.
1t was not intended to have any re-
ligious services here, but two prayers
were offered, and Miss Carrie Belmer
and Mrs. Jessie Bowren-C Caldwell fur
nished music. Mrs. Caldwell sang at
the funeral of Horace Greeley, and
will sing at the Goebel o5sequiss at
Frankfort on Thursday The prayer
in German was by Rev. Gilbert
Schmidt, pastor of the st. Paul German
Protestant church, where Gov. Goebel's
parents were members. The prayer in
English was by Rev. H. w. Ewing, of
the Union Methodist church. There
was no music in the procession to-day,
and there will be no band when the
neighbors tomorrow morning follow
the casket to the depot.

MR.. BRYAN IN CONNECTICUT.
Enthusiastic Receptions Accorded
Him at All Points.

HARTFORD, Conn, February g.
William j. Bryan reached this city to-
day from Massachusetts, and was well
coined to Connecticut by Alexander
Troup, member Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, and other prominent
speakers.
Just before Mr.. Bryan's speech at the
Coliseum began, the chairman led him
to one side Of the platform and there
introduced him to Mr.. Burr, one of the
leaders among the gold standard Demo-
Gratis. This incident was noticed with
loud cheers. In his address Mr.. Bryan
early reached the money question and
announced his intention of speaking
straight to the financiers of "this splen-
Oily wealthy city of Hartford"
81 am conservative" he said, land
I am more conservative than Jesus
Christ, who drove the money changers
out of the temple because they made it
den of thieves.
When want to be severe l quote
the Nazarene, who spoke as no man
spoke, and I quote his words against
the financiers of Hartford: The wealth
Of riches choketh the truth
The subject of free silver occupied
the speakers attention for an hour,
after which he dIwelt extensively with
the other issues in his usual manner.
Mr.. Bryan spoke until $3.50. He
boarded the tsain for Bridgeport at 3:49
p. m.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, February g.
Mr.. Bryan reached Bridgeport at $40.
This city far out-did Hartford's well

AS the train was about to pull out
Of Hartford gray-haired man nerv-
ously pushed his way through the
train, vainly searching for Mr.. Bryan.
Some one suggested that he might have
entered the smoker, whereupon the
patriarch cried out Indignantly:
Never! William Jennings Bryan does
not smoke. He does not drink, and
he INDUCES in no other denominations.
Thank God for that"
A few moments later the old man
had reached his goal and fervently
wrung Mr.. Bryan's hand. Mr.. Bryan
had hardly seated himself when a
score or more of Trinity College stu
dents filed through the car and shook
hands with him. The train was way
accommodation, stopping at every sta
ton covering the So miles between
Hartford and New Haven in something
over an hour.
At Meriden he was obliged to pre-
sent himself on the car platform to
satisfy crowd of 200 or more who
had gathered at the station and hun
dreds of workmen who filed the win
dows of the largest factory of the In
ternational Silver Company nearby.
New Haven greeted him with 300
persons, who cheered the traveller as
he left the way train and was escort
ed by Bridgeport committee to spe-
ciaI car.
The run to Bridgeport consumed half
an hour. Mr.. Bryan fond assembled
200 persons. who cheered enthusiastic
ally.
After dinner and brief rest Mr.
Bryan was escorted to the Park City

Title to Water Should go With the
Land

The West would long since have had
working examples of national irriga-
ton and government construction of
reservoirs, had it not been for western
opposition. This statement has been
made by photographer Newell of the
Irrigation branch of the Geological
Survey and by others who have been
connected with irrigation develope-
ment, surveys, etc., for long period
OF years. 1t was thought at first that
vast fortunes were to be made out of
dam sites, the construction of reser-
voirs by private capital and the selling
of water-rights to settlers. But the ex-
periences of the last ten or twelve
years have shown that private capital
IN storage reservoirs is not generally
good investment. Right here comes
in the question of title to water, and
whether the right to the water should
go with the land. Irrigation invest
ments have proven safe, and money
can now be found for investment, only
in projects organized as cooperative
canal companies, or where the title to
the land and the necessary water is
united, while under the water-right
system it is impossible to longer secure
the investment of intelligent capital
The difference between the two plans
is very clear. Under one, the farmer
owns the land and the company sells
him a water right. This is the system
which has almost invariably turned
out disastrously. Under the other
system, the owner of the land also
owns share in the water property, SO
that the ownership of land and water
are united. This is the successful sys-
tenn. So with proper management, the
cooperative system can be successful
as far as it goes; but it is necessarily
limited in extent.
At this point national irrigation
comes in. Some have conceived the
impression that national irrigation
contemplates the building or owner
ship by the government of all reser-
voir and irrigation works. This is err
roneous. No one proposes such a
policy. The national irrigation move
ment contemplates the construction of
reservoirs, etc, by the government
only when such work is beyond the
scope of private enterprise or private
capital, while at the same time ma
tional irrigation would operate along
the same lines as cooperative irriga-
ton, that is, it would mean land and
water ownership combined in one,
only the water ownership would be a
public instead of an individual owner
ship.

Unreasonable Weather.

1t is an old and true saying that a
green Christmas makes a fat church
yard, and in addition to agreen Christ
mas we have had a green Thanksgiv-
ing, green New Year, and up to now,
every indication promises a green
Valentines Day and Washington's
birthday.
From one point of view it's very
fine thing to have summer weather all
the year round, but it has its draw
backs. In the words of Mark Twain
"for every nickled joy, we pay in
golden grains of grief" and so it is
with unreasonable weather.
We all say now "What beautiful
weatherp' and we say it with smile,
but next summer when those twin sis
tiers of misery, malaria and typhoid,
stalk rampant through the town, we
will cuss the winter of 1s99-1900.- Vir-

Cape Nome's First Miner.

Paul Becker, well-known in local
mining circles, is in this city, says the
Spokane Review. He isa pioneer of the
world-famous Cape Nome camp in
Alaska and says that it was in his rock
er that the first pay dirt was washed
on that wonderful beach.
1.-THE days for cleaning up fortunes
with rockers on Cape Nome beach are
over" says Mr.. Becker. The beach
will yet pay richly for sluicing and
working with machinery and some of
the boys with rockers will take out
pay, but the big days for the beach is
past. But there are other beaches and
a vast unprospected country around
there.
''The richest days work done there
was when / cleaned up 81, 200 in the
usual working hours with a rocker.
The pay lies richest on the clay which
we call bed rock. The gold is in a ruby
sand. Sometimes streaks in this sand
are found before bedrock is reached.
The Nome beach carries much gravel.
That reminds me that a party of Butte
engineers plan to get rich quickly by
sinking pump to the ocean floor out
beyond low tide line and to stir up
the sand and pump it through a pipe
to sluice box on shore. They will
have to figure again. Sand is the little
end of the stuff they will have to move.
Most of it is heavy gravel.
'tThere are all sorts of schemes for
getting the Nome gold. One happy
genius is planning to rig up steam
boat to drag amalgamating plates over
the beach under water and he hopes to
clean up heaps of gold. 1t all looks
mighty easy from this end of the line.
"But I believe that Cape Nome will
one of these days become a quartz
mining camp. The hills around the
beach are scanned with veins. In fact
l think that the gold ON the beach
comes from worn off veins in the vicin-
ity. Perhaps glaciers did it, I do not
know. But I do not agree with the
theory that the gold was washed in
from the sea. The gold comes from
quartz. l have found chunks of quartz
on bedrock with gold in every portion.
The gold has been associated with iron.
Down close to the water the gold is
washed clean and the sluices run I'M
stained. UP higher on the beach the
gold is in the iron oxide and the sluices
run red as blood with the rusty stain.
Proving the theory further I have
staked veins in the district in which
gold is carried in iron oxide just as it
is found in the placers.
"One of these veins / have staked is
a big one, 100 feet wide, carrying de-
composed and oxidized ore with gold
values on the surface. brought some
ore down to Seattle, and an assay
showed 81 ounces gold. Now do not
bank on one chance assay. rather
expect that at depth the vein will turn
into base ore and that its treatment
will require the installation of heavy
milling plant. 1t will have to be a
high-grade mine to pay up there. But
it is worth investigating
