Spain in 1896 the Philippine islands
are almost entirely at peace. A die

REPUBLICAN ELECTORS.

The republican party of Wyoming
is particularly fortunate in the nomi-
nation of the electors selected by the
state convention at Laramie. 1t is
extremely doubtful whether it would
be possible to choose three more rep
resentative men of higher types of
wyoming citizenship than James M
Wilson, Jesse w. Crosby and Ora Ha-
ley, the three gentlemen nominated as
presidential electors. Each of these
gentlemen of irreproachable pri.
vate character. are the representa-
tives of large interests and stand and
have ever stood for the progress and
development of Wyoming. Their very
names add strength to the republican
state ticket-they are all three warm
admirers Of the president, and in all
the state no better fitted persons
could be found for the honor of cast,
ing the electoral vote of Wyoming for
Theodore Roosevelt. the trough rider"
president. There is no question but
that they will be elected by the high
est vote ver given presidential cleo
tors in Wyoming.-Leader.

At 5 in the afternoon on April 7 six
canoes and two %pirogues were pushed
out on the Missouri, says A. M. Laut
in Outing, describing the Lewis and
Clark expedition. Sails we're hoisted
"a cheer from the Canadian traders
and Indians standing on the shore
and the boats glided up the Missouri
with flags flying from foremost PROV.
Hitherto Lewis and Clark had passed
over Travelled ground. Now they had
set sail for the unknown.
For miles the boats had to be
tracked upstream by the tow line.
The shore was SO steep that 1t offered
no foothold. Men and stones slithered
heterogeneously down the sliding
gravel into the water. Moccasins
wore OF faster than they could be
sewed: and the mems feet were cut
by prickly pear and rock as if by
knives. On Sunday. May &c, when
Capt. Lewis was marching to tighten
the canoes, he had just climbed to
the summit of a high, broken cliff
when there burst on his glad eyes a
first glimpse of the far white Shin
ing Mountain" of which the Indians
told, the Rockies. snowy and dazzling
in the morning sun. One can guess
how the weather-bronzed, ragged men
paused to gaze on the glimmering
submits. Only one other explorer
had ever been so far west in this re-
gion--young La V~erendrve, fifty years
before; but the Frenchman had been
compelled to turn back without cross
ing the mountains; and the two Amer
leans were to assail and conquer what
had proved an impossible barrier.
The Missouri had become too deep
for poles, too swift for paddles, and
the banks were Sc precipitous that the
men were often poised at dizzy
heights above the river, dragging the
tow line round the edge of rock and
crumbly cliff. Capt. Lewis was lead
ing the way n day. crawling along
the face of a rock wall, when he
slipped. Only a quick thrust of his
spontoon into the cliff saved him
from falling almost a hundred feet.
He had Just struck 1t with terrific
force into the rock, where it gave
him firm handhold, when he heard a
voice cry: Good God, captain, what
shall I do?"
Windsor. a frontiersman, had
slipped to the verge of the rock,
where he 'ay face down with right
arm and leg completely over the preci-
pice, his left hand vainly grabbing
empty air for grip of anything that
would hold him back. Capt. Lewis
was Mortified, but kept his presence
of mind, for the mans life hung by a
thread. A move, a turn, the slightest
start of alarm to disturb Windsor's
balance, and he vas lost. Steadying
his voice, Capt. Lewis shouted back:
You're in little danger. Stick your
knife in the cliff to hoist yourself up
With the leverage Of the knife
Windsor succeeded in lifting himself
back to the narrow ledge. Then. tax.
ing of his ~moccasins, he crawled
along the cliff to broader foothold.

From a Chinese Viewpoint.

Here are some sensible and inter-
esting remarks, made by an intelli-
gent Chinese woman, in an interview
describing her first Impressions Of the
United States. There Is much truth
In what she says:
"Your civilization in this country
is only 200 years old. Yet already
your men and women are overbred.
Your physicians and scientific men
are beginning to trace signs of degen-
eracy in your race. What will you
be in a thousand or two thousand
years? shudder to think of it. You
laugh at my fears. and at the placid.
slow-going people of China. But we
have learned how to preserve our rste
through many thousands of years OF
civilization.
"You are only in the first stages CT
civilization. What will you become
at our age?"
