James McGraw again goes after
the PILOT in the last issue of the
Champion, but his points (?) were
so obtuse as to be indiscernible.
His article was nothing more nor
less than a repetition of his former
remarks, and contained about as
much argument as vacuum does
air. The Judge would have us
believe that Rollo only needs a
pair of wings to make him an
angel and doubtless would like to
confer a medal upon him for his
attempt to kill number of inno-
cent people upon the Main street
of the town.

Numerically, tie Crested Butte

Numerically, the Crested Butte
precincts had a full delegation at
Gunnison last Monday. The fol-
lowing were selected as delegates
to attend the district and state con-
ventions: E. M. Nourse, j. j,
Potter, E. r. Lore, +. b. Pitney,
of Gunnison; G.. w. Thompson, H.
Click, G. L. Ross, of Crested
Butte; T. j. Reed, of Pitkin: J M,

other persons accompanied the
delegation. Among them were:
T. G. Brown, P. @. Boyles, of Gun
nison; Henry Funder, Oscar Ak
inc; DR.. Rockefeller, Karl SchGe-
fer, G.. w. Tetard and John Bruce,
Of Crested Butte. DR.. Rockefeller
had the united support of the
western and northern counties in
the convention for election as a
delegate, but for reasons that will
be materially conducive to the sue
cess of the party this fall he de-
cided not to enter the race. He
made gallant sacrifice to serve
his party, which will at some fu-
ture time reward him doubly for
his unselfsh devotion to its inter

Wherever capitol is invested in
sugar factories in Porto Rico,
emanating from island sources, it
is purely Spanish. Other factor
les are owned and controlled by
English capital; others by Ger
man. Their product is sold in the
United States, mainly to the sugar
trust. Absolute free trade with
Porto Rico would benefit only this
foreign capital and the American

Took Effect Automatica1ly.


The amazing thing about the indus
trial revival after McKinley's election
was its suddenness. 1t seemed to take
effect automatically, almost instantly,
without a decent natural interval for
the mere routine details of business.
The explanation of this, obviously, Is
the preparation of the business mind
for the event and the great number of
contingent contracts. These took effect
on the day after election without even
the formality of confirmatory tele-
gram, and industrial establishments
could order work on them to begin at
once. Besides these actual contracts
contingent on the election, there seem
to have been great number of orders
ready to send out in the first mail after
news of it was had on which work
could begin almost as soon. The sud
denness of the industrial movement dis
tinguishes it from four years ago more
than its volume. The notion that in
dustrial energy was at such high pitch
already that there could be no parallel
OF the increase of 1897 begins to be
held with less confidence. But there
was loss certainty of the event in adj
vance in 1896, and the machinery of in
dustry was idle and rusty. 1t took
some time for it to get in motion after
feeling the new impulse. This year it
took the impulse like powder fuse
and leaped ahead under it with almost
explosive force.-New York CONNER.

In Brynn,s State and county.


The details of the vote in Nebraska.
us reported in dispatches from Lincoln,
present some Interesting features. In
one precinct i'll Antelope County, for
instance, where in 1896 Bryan got As
votes and Mckinley get only ., in 1900
Mckinley got 40 votes aHd Bryan got
none. 1t looks as though they must
have been having some Mckinley pros
perity in that vicinity during the last
four years.
In Bryan's home county the farming
districts gave him in 1896 Il majority of
nearly 300, while this year Mckinley
carried them by a majority of 244, Per-
haps some of those Nebraska mort
cages which have been paid off since
President McKinley's election in 1896
belonged up that way. And when it
comes to a choice between voting for
Il 'favorite son" or even for a neigh
Dor and voting for ones own individual
prosperity and for the prosperity of the
whole country, the 'favorite SON. has
to take second place. 1t is hard on Mr..
Bryan, but a calamity candidate usual
ly hasn't very good time in this coun-
try. where the people have so often
had an opportunity to see that it lies
entirely with themselves whether they
will have prosperity or not. The pros
'perity argument was, as Mr.. Bryan has
said. the most potent element in his
defeat, and nowhere was it more po-
tent than in Mr.. Bryan's own State and
county.-American Economist.

and Paul said:

together: it will be the last for many
years"

that it was twenty minutes to twelve. he
permitted himself to be led into the eat

Paul and Lem ran out. Fire engines
and hose trucks. with the thunder of
hoofs and the keen. quick vibrations OF
their danger bells. were dashing by.
There were not many people on the
streets. but all who We're out ran in the
direction of the fire.
"Whcrc is it:' asked Paul of an oili-
Ger. who was trying 10 keep back the in
creasing crowd.
ION the top Hour of M. L. The peo-
pic are crowding on the roof. and it is
feared they cannot bc saved. replied tho
officer. who. recognizing IL newspaper re-
porter in Lem. permitted him and his
companion To pass through.
Paul and Lem pressed on past the
steam engines, until they reached the
house. from the lane side of which IL
score of hook and ladder men were vain
ly trying TO reach the people on The roof.
''Ahoy. down there shouted !; man on
the roof. Send one of your ladders To
The building across the lane. We can
make Il bridge over here. BE quick. for
the womcns sakes.''
Paul looked up. and. standing in relief
against the coppcr-colorcd sky. he rccoy-
ni2ed The fac" and form of Carpenter.
His amazemcnt ut this gave place. in Il
moment. to realization of the wisdom
of the act lie proposed.
Turning to the tircmen, Paul Neville,
in tone of command, shoutcd: /.
II am sailor! Quick, send up Il sec
ton of ladder to the opposite roof and
make bridge over the lane!.'
But who will cross on it and mt the
same time carry the w0men:" asked the
foreman.
