All Trusts Oppose Bryan.

The Times, of Buffalo, N. Y, says
in it's opposition to Mr.. Bryan the
New York World is in the company
Of the Standard Oil trust. the rail
road trust. the sugar trust. the
leather trust. the insurance trust.
the paper trust. the tobacco trust.
and all other trusts which are prey
ing upon the people Through their
pull with legislatures. 1t is in the
company Of the frenzied financiers
and stock gamblers of Wall Street.
1t is in the company Of all the pre-
datory corporations which infcst the
country. All of these interests are
opposed to Mr.. Bryan. They are
doing all they can TO eliminate him
as a candidate and accomplish the
nomination of some man who would
be their willing tool. The plunder-
crs OF the people know that with Mr..
Bryan in the presidency they would
receive no quarter. Their hope is
that with a conservative in the
chair they would he allowed to ply
their traffic at will. 1t is very con-
genial company for the World to be

who is generally on the side of the
dispensary in his decisions, the Cal

Kept open and the new county will
enjoy the revenue thorefrom. 1t
will be remembered that Governor
AnSel ordered the dispcnsaries at ST.

later on Chief Justice Pope issued
an order restraining the disDensaries
at those places from closing their
places OF business as ordered by the
Governor.
The county d%ispensary board Of
Orangeburg County was not mention
ed in this order, and the question
arose as to whether or not the board
could continue to ship liquors into
Calhoun county under the provision
in the Act creating the new county
that the dispensnricS were TO be run
as formerly, before the new county
WAS formed.
The whole question was TO have
come up before Chief Justice Pope
on Tuesday but it WAS postponed, but

Have you ever trudged over one
of the mighty and far-extending ice
fields of Alaska, beholding the null
titude of pinnacles and spires, and
watched the great white masses
tumbling into the sea, sending the
silvery foam surging high up the
wall-like cliffs?
Candidates planning this outing
should consider the question if they
would visit land which offers some
of the most colossal and sublime
scenery on the worlds highways. 1t
is a country where the field for gla-
cial study is unlimited, and as
these gigantic ice barriers flash AID
blaze in the sunlight one may well
fancy that this beautiful and varied
phenomena is but the fantasy of a
dream.
As the Alaska liners pillow their
way through the waters of the far
famed inland passage hundreds of
large and small glaciers are seen
from the high PERCEPTIONS cliffs
which revive the sleeping echoes in
the neighboring pine-clad noun
tains.
Floating ice often whitens the va
rious channels through which yes
sells must pass before the terminus
at the head Of Lynn canal is reached.
The wonderful sight appeals at
once to the restless mind. and dur
ing the heightened twilights of sum-
mer the weird beauty leaves an in
delible picture on the memory of the
traveller. Where the midnight sun
is shining in all its glory the tricks
of the mirage are witnessed and
thousands of ice foes and bargs are
transformed into queer shapes of
most remarkable description.
Often the bergs form an impene-
trable pack through which it is i'm
possible for the vessel to advance
and near the face of Alaska's largest
glaciers navigation has been render
ed extremely dangerous. Several
steamships have approached within
mile of Muir and Taku glaciers
and numerous eXcursionists have
been landed on Davidson glacier.
The formation of inland glaciers
is no different from that of tide
water glaciers, but they do not have
the picturesqueness of the broken
eXtremities which are constantly
sending huge cakes OF ice into the
ocean, giving the appearance of
floating islands. It would probably
