The Iruit growers ot Colorado ‘ are holding their annual pow wow 1 in Denver, the session opening ] Tuesday. Judge Gabbert’s popularity is i shown at home by the 0,000 maj ority he received in Ins own judic- 1 ial district. ______________ Consul General Lee has return ed to Havana, to take up the light against Spain, to preserve our citi zens Irom outrage. Colorado will soon be able to supply the world with honey. A1 falta and honey can go hand in hand with ‘hog and hominy. 5 The freight rate war which has 1 been on lor sometime, on through rates from the east, is about to re ceive new impetus by a bigger slash. The Colorado Midlaqd railroad has made a cut ot about 25% in passenger rates, from Denver to i important mountain points reach ■ ed by its line. Austria is having a little tilt with the Turk, and has given the Ottomen empire but little time to make amends for certain nets not appreciated by Austria. Durrant liasaluckv star. Again has lie escaped the gallows, when so close upon him. Another point lor the courts to act upon has giv en lum another respite. Warm weather in the south has started the yellow fever upward. Ten new cases were reported last Monday at Scranton, Miss., with eleven new cases at New Orleans. Gold has at last been discovered on Spanish Peaks in Huerfano county. Prospectors have been at work there lor the past ten years. The formation there has been held by geologists as non mineral bearing. Scientists claim that the Hawa iian islands will eventually disap pear beneath the ocean. This is the first intimation that his satanic majesty was a rival in the race lor annexation. —Denver Times. Canada has been so badly effected by the new tariff law that she is negotiating for reciprocity. She lias been having her way for so many years, discriminating against us that it is tough when a fair deal comes, so she squeels. The Bering sea meeting on the Sealing question, just held in Washington, with representatives of this government, Great Britain and Canada present, have com pleted the work, and it is report ed quite satisfactory to the United Stales. The gold democrats ot the east see the handwriting on the wall and many ot them will in another year forego their connection witji new organizations, because ot the currency question, and be once more found in the regular party ranks, a6 the Louisville Courier Journal, winch admits that it will j be there. The editor says he has j fought a good fight but will no, longer hold out against silver. £Many of the counties in western Colorudo in which the Populists were strong the past four years, the Democrats elected nearly all county officers. In LaPlata countv the Pops came out third best, and two years ago they elected nearly tly) entire ticket. Will some one please rise and explaiu why the Populists party should continue to exist?—Pagosa Springs News. No figures are yet available on the majority given Judge Gabbert but they will not tall much under 10,000. The free silver sentiment no doubt had much to do with the election of Judge Gabbert. With the Free Silver Republicans and the McKinley Republicans, and All the influential dailies of the state, excepting one or two, work ing hard against him; his election bv the handsome majority receiv ed goes to show that the people of Colorado who believe in silver shun the mongrel ticket with tell ing effect. The relief expidition which the government is sending to the ice bound whalers in the Arctic Ocean, has before it such hardships as the Klondike miner never dreamed of. Three of the whalers are stuck off Cape Barrow and the other five near the mouth of the Mackinzie river. One of the vessels has been in the Arctic waters since ‘93. There are 265 men all told in the whalers and would be all right had they pro visions but all expected to return this fall and they are out of sup plies. The government has or dered 600 out ol its herd to be driven to them. “The Silver Republican party was not organized to fight the friends of silver, either in the Democratic party or in the Peo ples’s party, but to crystalize the silver sentiment among Republi cans and to prepare them to aid in the contest of 1900 for the restora tion of silver to its former position as constitutional money. We would not destroy the Democratic party if we could, lor that is the only party to which we can look for relief in 1900, and there is no hope for success for that party then without the support ot the Silver Republicans and Populists of the country. It will require the active support of all the friends of silver to accomplish the defeat of tne Republican party in 1900 for we may expect that the vicious feature of the campaign of 1896 will be more marked in 1900 than in 1896. As a preparation for such a contest we ought to torget minor differences, and party prejudices should be set aside and all our efforts directed to the defeat and destruction of our opponents. I hope with this feeling we may en ter the campaign in 1898, which is preparatory to the more impor tant one ot 1900”.—Senator Teller, “The international commission has railed and it is now evident that there is no hope ol relief save through our own 'efforts and a gainst that the Republican party is pledged by its national platform and that with the message of the president on the currency question and the action of the Republican house of representatives on that message ought to be sufficient to convince the most enthusiastic Republican that nothing can be accomplished for silver through the agency of that party? as it is now constituted. The great major jty ot the voters in Colorado are deeply impressed with the impor tance of the silver question and the danger of our institutions by adhering to the gold standard, and I have no doubt but that thousands who would have other wise*voted for Judge Hayt voted for his competitor, not because they distrusted Judge Hayt’s ti delity to silver or his integrity or ability, but because they disap proved his acceptance of t hat nom ination, and feared such accept ance might be misunderstood a j broad apd in that way injure the i cause ot silver. I think his deieat lias demonstrated the inconsis tency and f"lly of attempting to SPRINGFIELD, BACA COUNTY, COLORADO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER, 19, 1897. j fight the Republican party in ! national politics and to affiliate with that parly in local affairs. That party is the only gold stand ard party in the country, and our fight for silver must he against that party iu congress and out of it.”—Senator Teller. The game of football is receiv ing much attention now, owing to the efforts being made to legislate against it. Gov. Adams has been asked his opinion regarding the prohibition of the game by a great newspaper ol Iho east, and his reply is favorable to it. lie thinks there is nothing wrong with the game itself, but that it may he abused. Accidents happen in Any of the outdoor games. Amelia K. Barr, who has been writing entertaining stories for many years, is still as vigoretis as ever, and keeps up with her manv literary engagements. Her latest short story, which deals with an interesting phase of Scottish life, will bo published in the Christmas number of Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly. Mrs. Barr pronounces this her best story. Ghost stones are popular in La Junta. The men are the ones who see the ghosts in white and judge by the feet which one shall be liis ghost. This party is almost equal to the church social where the girls were lined up behind a curtain too short to veil the ankle, and the gentlemen selected their partners for supper, irom the ankle test of beauty. Frank R. Stockton has just com pleted a combination ghost and Christmas story. The possibili ties of such a combination are great, and Mr. Stockton is the man to bring them out entertainingly. This new story was written espec ially for Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, and will appear in the Christinas number of that periodic cal. After reading the Harrison articles on “This Country of Ours, and noting the pheuomenal in crease of circulation brought to the publication in which they ap pear, the Mexican Herald lias formed the conviction that an ex president’s article would sell a nautical almanac in the heart of a desert.—Denver Times Lamar is arranging for her annual rabbit hunt. The dale is set for December 16 and 17. Rab bits are reported verv numerous. Parson Uzzell will attend ns usual and take thousands of rabbits to Denver with him and distribute them among the poor. A negro stole a watch, and being hotly pursued, jumped into a river. A hungry alligator swallowed tli» negro; but the crowd lynched the alligator and secured the watch; which hadn’t lost a minute in the excitement.—Star. The Christmas number of Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly will con tain stories appropriate to (he sea son by Frank R. Stockton. Amelia E. Barr and Margaret K. Sangster, and a poem by Ella Wheeler W ilcox. Colorado's Crystal Cave. Colorado’s novel feature at the Trans-Mississippi exposition at Omaha m’9B will consist of a “Crystal Cave,” occupying 3,000 square leet of space, resplendent with crystals of dazzeling colors. Visitors will be conducted into the fairy den through winding tunnels studded with electric lights, and suddenly ushered into brilliantly alluminated apartments where a vast and complete col lection of the state's mineral re sources will be shown. Iu the center of the main chambers an elaborate fountain will discharge copious draughts of the different health giving mineral waters of Colorado to the delight of visitors, while from mysterious caverns will echo the strains of soft sweet music, lending enchantment, as in fairyland, to the scene. The exterior ol the cave will represent a mountain in the Rockies, the sides covered with earth, rock, ’ trees and pine shrubs. The Hick’s 1898 Almanac and Paper.
