The Elk Mountain pilot., 1900-10-30
A COMMUNICATION.
Mr.. ADAM MILLER,
Gunnison. Colo,

$12.30 as per bill which arrived
with the goods, which, by the way,
was just what l wanted. 1 fail,
however, to note the 30 per cent.
raise that some of our political CO.
workers (?) talk so much about.
This reminds me that politics
out this way are warming up con-
siderably, and the Populsts here
are wondering what kind of mess
you people at the county seat have
fixed up for them.
j. FL. Collins, they say, is Sill
yer Republican, which, at this
stage of the political game, means
nothing, and we can't understand
why he should still hold out and
prohibit Shackelford being the
"whole thing"
AS for Mr.. Rawalt, he strikes
the average Populist in this neck
O woods as being rather too "spec-
tacular," and that is saying good
deal for Democrat.
Populsts did not seem to be in
much demand at convention time,
but the supposition is that they
will cast their votes as the conven-
ton packers desire, but l, for one,
have yet independence enough
left to vote against a Democrat and
to fight the enemies in my own
party who would disorganize their
party in the interests of political
demagogues who have heretofore
made it their especial study and
effort to defeat Populist candidates
and measures.
hear that Mr.. Rawalt, in a
speech in Gunnison a few days
ago, stated that he was more than
proud that he had a hand in the
election of Wolcott to the Senate.
He thus admits that the Demo-
cratic party of this county placed
a candidate in the field to beat as
true q man as ever stood as can
didate for the state legislature
Geo. @. Rhode. Why has he
changed his gigantic mind2 Be-
cause he wants the Office now and
a hungry herd of Democratic jack
ASST wants to fill Wolcott's sena-
torial shoes, in which any one of
them would rattle around like a
bird-shot in tin boiler, be as
hopelessly lost as a louse in the
skin of mastodon; in fact, they
would be as much out of place as
Rawalt, during the time Goods
hired man," as he called him, was
offering prayer in our last legisla-
ture. MIR. Rawalt, being good
Christian and cold water advocate,
can depend upon the votes of the
church people and temperance
workers for the same reason that
Populists will rally to his support
because he has always opposed
them.
1 understand that the hated doc
trine of Benevolent assimilation
also prevailed at the Judicial con-
vention at Montrose; that isn't SO
bad. l believe in every man hav-
ing show, even in court, and
Judge Stevens has clearly demon
strated in this county that any
litigant has GOOD show to ap-
peal his case on a writ of error; it
don't cost much and the Judge gets
lots of fun out of it, The Judge
is jolly fellow, his jollity some
times bordering on mellowness. !
have not learned what vintage he
uses.
AS for McMullin, it is worth all
it costs to see him and Shackle-
ford try to convict somebody; mel
ther of them could prove case OF
smallpox.
I write thus, not having seen
YOU since we nominated our (O
tickets, state, county and judicial
+ giving you my personal views on
the situation and hope you will be

In the Temple Bar Rev. Mr.. Bacon
says that the best preventives of dis
ease are cleanliness and the access Of
sunlight and fresh air as being the
agents most powerful in the suppress
sion OF bacteria. Large towns in Brit
ain have each their true west end, for
the western and southern winds being
those that mostly. prevail there, it fol-
lows that during a large portion of the
year the smoke and fog drift away to
the east and northeast, leaving the west
clearer and purer. The writer claims
British weather is at once the most
capricious and at the same time the
best adapted TO vigorous and healthful
enjoyment Of life. The Briton is stran-
ger 10 the long ordeal of unvarying
southern skies, the breath of pestilen-
tial air, and the stroke of sun or ague.
The face and physique of the typical
Britisher is the true weather mark OF
his climate.

cral penalties to be inflicted those Princes
/ and Ministers who ought u be punished. He
adds that Kang VI has died of sickness and that
Prince Tuan and Prince Chwang have not been
allowed to accompany the Court to Shen-Se
The death of Kang Vi is an important incident
as he of the ringeaders whose punish
ment demanded by the Powers He held
the position of Assistant Grand Secretary and
President Of the Civil Board and also
of the six Chinese statesmen making up the
Privy Council Cabinet, which is the body
nearest the Throne. Following the demands of
the Powers for his punishment edict
issued handing him TO the Board of Cen
sors, to consult and decide upon penalty for
his misdoing The same edict punished Prince
Tuan, but it thought that the Tuan in
fuence would secure leniency for Kang vi and
others. To-day's dispatch shows, however that
Kang vi himself recognized that there no
hope of Imperial favor. Although the dispatch
to Minister Wa says only that Kang Vi died
on the 18th inst. it is thought that this death
was the natural result of the disgrace which
has overtaken the anti-foreign and Boxer
| element.
Governor Yus method of suici 3e by swallow

Prince Tuan has been visited with severe cen
sure from The Throne, and to such an extent
that IL would be no surprise if he followed the
course Of kang vi and Yu. He has been pre-
vented from accompanying the Imperial Court to
Si-Ngan-Fu, and remains at Shan-Se, cut off
from further Influence the Throne. 1t is
pected that he viii be banished, which to
Prince of the blood is worse than decapitation
and under the Chinese idea of propriety suicide
is likely to be his end
