Denver, Aug. 10.-A lively trans
continental rate war is promised
over the movement of the Unit
ed States troops to san Francisco.
The Northwestern made rate of 81
per man from Fort Sheridan, Chicago,
to San Francisco, which is the lowest
rate ever made between those points
The Santa Fe has announced rate of
Sc from Chiacgo to San Francisco to
stand all the time
1t was said yesterday that the Bur
lington and Rock Island would make
the same rate in connection with the
Colorado roads, and it was even said
that a rate of 50 would be put in by
the Burlington. If war is declared
against China the government will
move thousands of men, 1t is said. so
that the new rate is simply the pre-
liminary scramble of the roads for bus
mess. Heretofore the government has
paid nearly full tariff rates for the
movement of its troops.

SENATOR TELLER AND THE
DEMOCRATS.

Senator Teller in Il speech in tire
Senate on February 3, 1899, said:
"Our army is in Manila by right of con
quest and under the laws of war. We
are justified in maintaining our posi-
ton there against all who may attack
us. l have been uneasy in regard to
the situation ever since I saw that
Aguinaldo had been authorized by his
so-called Congress to declare war upon
the United States. There was never
any danger of the United States max
ing an attack upon the Filipinos, but
there has been danger from the outset
that they, not knowing the conditions
here and laboring under excitement,
would make an attack upon our
forces. But under the circumstances
the government has been powerless to
do anything to prevent the serious
combination Of affairs in Manila. Under
the laws of nations the Philippine peo-
pie are citizens of Spain, and of course,
there is nothing to do but to fight them
until they surrender, and bring them
to a sense of their position. 1t is i'm
possible now for our government to
withdraw. II it has not troops enough
to subdue the insurgents, we must send
enough. The occurrence will not pre-
vent our doing justice by the Silipinos
in the end, but it certainly postpones
the establishment of government
there for the present"

would have been so administered that
the public institutions of this common
wealth would not have to depend on
private charity. With n competent
city administration the city would have
had an auditorium, its paving and

The fact that such men as Abram s.
Hewitt, ex-Comptroller Eckels, Don NJ.
Dickenson, and leading Democrats in
every state in the Union, have an
nounced that they will not support the
Democratic party in the present cam
paign, should be an evidence to the i'm
partial voter that the party is not wor-
thy of his suffrage or his support, while
the Democratic failure in the admins

zens of this state, as to what they may
expect in the future, if the party is

GOVERNOR THOMAS VIEWS
ON THE SITUATION

, throughout those far western states,
and l should not be surprised if Wash
ington goes Republican.
Generally speaking, however, Bryan
will carry the same western states he
did in 1896, but with decreased major
tiles, and his gains will be in the east
ern and central states. The vote of the
single state of Maryland. which we are
going to carry this year, will offset the
loss of Washington, should it go
against us. Bryan will be much strong
er in the central and eastern states than
in 1896.
II find that throughout all of the
central states there is "A feeling of
great unrest and that voters are flock
ing to the Bryan standard rapidly. ]

in 1896. Then the words anarchist
and communist We're being hurled AT
Bryan from all sides. l have not heard
those words mentioned in the present
trip. Then he was spoken of as an i'm
mature and untried upstart. Now there
is settled admiration for his honesty
and courage and he is looked upon as
n statesman of rare ability and the un-
compromising champion of the rights
of the common people"

Topeka, Kan, August Wv. Il
Kibbe, Franklin county farmer, who
has been leader in the Populist par
ty for ten years and was n delegate
to the Sioux Falls convention, to-day
issued an address to the Populists of
Kansas on his change to Republican
ism, in which he says:
The mighty things that confront us
to-day must be met from n standpoint
other than party, and the way the
questions have been met and managed
by the party in power thus far ought
to be approved by the American peo-
pie. During my few remaining days
l prefer to be a citizen rather than
partisan, and instead of still staying
over in the old mule lot, with its
gloom and mud, listening to the etcr-
nal braying of asses and the croaking
of frogs and making faces and throw
ing mud at the great procession NOV
ing along, l am going TO jump the
fence, get out into the broad, sunny
highway, join it and help make, nut
mar. our prosperous, progressive, yea,
imperial country as it enters upon the
new century with its many great prob
lens still waiting for a solution
Il am now convinced" he says,
that Populism has no future. During
the past five years since Populism be-
gan TO make fusion alliances, l have
witnessed more schemes. more disrep-
utable political trading, more low cum
ming among fusion managers and more
dishonesty among fusion officials than
L found during all the thirty years ]
was a Republican. In another year
the Populist party will be entirely
gone. Alone to-day it could not carry
a single county in a single state of the
Union. 1t has sought 10 add strength
to itself by making all kinds of alli-
ances with other minority parties alien
to it in principle. 1t would fuse with
Democrats in the North, and with Re
publicans in the South, and with So
cialists anywhere, with the natural re-
suit of receiving the antagonism and
contempt of all"

Denver, Aug. "a special dispatch
to the Rocky Mountain News from In
dianapolis says:
Governor Thomas of Colorado, who
delivered the Stevenson notification
speech, created a political sensation
here to-day by giving an interview in
which he said Bryan would not be as
strong in the West this year as he was
in 1896, although he was confident the
losses will be more than offset by gains
in the eastern states. Mr.. Thomas
said:
Colorado in 1896 gave Bryan 10000
majority. This year l do not believe
his majority will exceed 10000. What
are the reasons for this falling off
Well, l think there are three principal
reasons. Many Republicans that were
out of line with their party then are
back in line now. Another reason is
that many of the people out there be
lieve that the Philippine policy of the
Mckinley administration is about right.
Another reason is that the trusts have
secured control of nearly all of our in
dustries and every man that has sold
out his business to trust is now a
shouting Republican. The falling OFF
in the Democratic vote will be general

DRIFT FENCES
MUST COME DOWN

Washington. ID. c., Aug. 10.-The at
tention of the general land office has
recently been called to the abusive and
unlawful erection of fences on various
sections of the public domain, partic-
ularly by sheep and cattle herders,
who aim to protect and preserve to
their own certain water courses so es-
sential to a desirable pasture. Re
ports are coming in from special agents
in the states of the Middle West and
the Pacific coast that this unlawful
erection Of fences is growing rapidly,
and that the local land officers either
fail TO order their restriction and re-
moYal, or else their orders are disre-
garded.
In some instances certain portions
of the public domain are fenced in
that is surrounded by continuous
fence, with occasional openings, which
are guarded as used only by the herd
crs whose fiocks are inclosed. Such
fences us these are thrown up about
some lake or pond, which studs fer
tile grazing plot, and holds that par
ticular section for the exclusive use
of one party. This in itself is unlaw-
full, as the statutes prescribe that no
distractions shall be erected on the
public domain that enclose any portion
OF it,
To get around this provision of the
law, other ingenious herders have fig
ured out a solution which provides for
the construction of what are known
MS drift" fences. A drift" fence is
merely a single line of fence which may
follow n straight line. or the bank of
Il stream. 1t incloses nothing. in the
ordinary sense of the word. and is os-
tensibly erected to prevent the sheep
cradle distance. But this. is clearly
not the main intention OF these drift
fences. In every case that has been
reported, they are built either along
side lake. pond or stream that af-
fords desirable watering place for
sheep or cattle, and operates to the
benefit of the herder on the one side
and to the exclusion of the herds on
the other.
These heterogeneous have deeply
aroused the ire of Commissioner Her
mann of the general land office, and
he has issued emphatic directions to
all special agents of the land office
directing them to see that all such
fences. either Enclosures or drift"
fences, shall be removed without any
unnecessary delay. In some instances
it has been shown that these fences
have been erected hy poor herders.
who were Ignorant of the law in the
case, and who have not the means to
Immediately remove the obstructions.
and to these n liberal allowance of time
VIII be made. But where it Is shown
that the fences We're erected in direct
defiance of the law. no quarter will be
given. The commissioner is determined
that the law in this regard must be
enforced, and is using every possible
means to secure that end.

Mr.. Bryan is reported as saying that
he expects to carry every state on the
new issue of Imperialism.
Quite likely-that he expects to.
In Chicago four years ago, in his
great speech before the national con-
vention, he said:
"My friends, we shall declare that
this nation is able to legislate for its
people upon every question without
waiting for the consent of any other
nation on earth, and upon that issue we
expect to carry every state in the
country"
But he didn't.
