HardShipS On the Trail.
Continued From Page l.

Colorado, was at Burgdorf springs
with no hay. The townsite crew in
charge of Geo. Meyer had reached
the Lakes at last reports and we're
having hard time getting in. In
fact everyone on the trail for the past
two weeks has met great difficulties
in mud and soft snow. The last
few days have been cold and no
doubt hardened the trail to Warren
and allowed many to pass over and
relieve the cOngested condition.
These conditions are only temporary
and are those met on any mountain
trail in Idaho at certain seasons.
Whatever the trials and difficulties,
it is still the best route, as the
troubles are worse on others and on
most of them no one has passed at
all nor will for 60 days yet This
paper has persistently advised that
it is better to walt until June before
going into the country from any
point but the restless gold-seeker is
not to be held in check by any such
difficulties as are presented.

Prof, w O. Atwater Of Wesleyan uni
versity Middletown, Is receiving sharp
attention from the Methodist brethren
respecting his experiments to prove the
food value Of alcohol Several speak
ers took a snot at him yesterday at a
Methodist preachers meeting In New

summed up In the following from Rev.
w T.. Odell OF the Calvary Methodist
church: LET us set our faces as a
flint against the heresies OF this profess
sor. Let us publish as widely as pos
sible the exposure OF his inaccuracies.
Let us teach the whole truth about
this dangerous substance. for whose
use as an article OF diet he permits
himself TO be placed In the position Of
an apologist Let us proclaim from
the house tops that he does not repre-
sent the attitude Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church on this question, and that
we stand as our fathers before us stood
for total abstinence from alcoholic bev-
orages.' As to teaching the whole truth,
the professor VIII be az one with his
assailants. That Is just what he Is try

MRS. STANTON.

The death OF Mrs Elizabeth Cady
Stanton is announced In New York
dispatch. Mrs. stanton was almost 81
years OF age, and she spent the greater
pai OF her lie In the furtherance OF
woman suffrage, Miss Anthony says
Of her that she was always "a cour-
ageous woman, leader Of thought and
new movement" She did not believe
in a hereafter. or special providence.
She was satisfied with the present
world and desired TO stay here as long
as possible.
one Of Mrs. STATIONS recent news
paper articles was on the place accord
ed to women In the Bible. In a letter
10 the New York sun she insisted that
the Bible "degrades' women by teach
ing absolute subsection In all her rela-
lions IN the state, the church. and the
home. For that reason she thought
the Bible should be taken away from
the boys OF the present generation. The
boys should not be taught disrespect
to their mothers Or else an "eXpur-
gated edition OF the book should be got
out putting in one volume the grand
declarations, moral lessons, poetry sci-
ence ana philosophy and in another all
the Christian mythologies for those
who would value It as ancient ltera.

This was one OF Mrs. stanton's great
Ideas. She actually held that

as from the Christian mythologles"

THE DANISH ISLANDS.

The Upper House Of the Danish par
lament has rejected the proposition to
sell the Danish West Indies to the
United states. The government has
consented to the transfer, because the
colony Is q yearly drain on the treas
ury, but the people object to the sale,
from patriotic motives we presume
II Is suggested that Denmark cede
either ST. Thomas or ST. John to the
United states. on the condition that
this country grant certain tariff con-
cesslons to ST. Croix. by this arrange
ment the United states would obtain
good harbor and site for a naval
station. But such tariff concessions
would perhaps In the long run prove q
higher price for a harbor than the sum
Of money once agreed on, but now re-
jected,
The matter may possibly be reconsd-
cred In the Landsthlng. II not. the
matter is settled for the time being.
The islands are not necessary 10 this
country, but 1t seems 20 be considered
necessary that they shalt not be ac-
qulred by any Of the large foreign pow
ers. And to avoid this and any DIS
pute that might arise with other pow
ers on the question OF possession IL
was agreed 10 buy them. As long rs
they are retained by Denmark they
are IN no sense an obstacle TO Amerl-
can political plans or aspirations.
As far back as 1861 Secretary Seward
negotiated for the Islands, but then the
proposition to buy them was finally re-
jected by our Senate. In 1898 Senator
Lodge introduced a bill asking Congress
to appropriate s5.OOOOOO for the pur-
chase Then the Spanish war came and
negotiations we're temporarily inter
rupted. After the war they were re-
sumed and the treaty was framed
which the LandsthIng has rejected.
Probably the islands VIII finally come
TO America. but the proposition ought
now to come from the Danish govern
ment as an expression Of the popular
sentiment in the country.
