NOT GOOD FOR A TEMPORARY OR•
GAsizA rioN.
• The Chairman - of the Greenback
Standing CoMmittee has displayed
remarkably 'good sense as Well .as
counnendable frankness in id.onven
ing his COmmittee for the purpose of
reeintling the action authorizing the
adeptidn of the "Crawford County
'System " in making nominations this
fall. .The Colonel - is suppostd to
have some political aspirations yet,
and, after sleeping over the action of
his Committee when last in session,
came to the conclusion that all,Dern
otrats Would be Greenbackers when
• it came time for the selection of can
didates; and, as a natural conse
quence, Democrats Would be chosen
for the various offices, leaving no
show for the fellows who claimed to
- belong to" neither party. s To be sure,
the Colonel might have dispensed
with l a - great.many words in. making
his:call, but he deserves:erodit for so
frankly admitting that the Greenlack
movement is merely, a teMporary-af
fair.. This confessiOn, : though, will
surprise the' few .conscientious men
who have gone. Inc& the movement
from, honest motives, and we tiust
will suffice to convince Republicans
that the object of the movement was,
as we have all along contended, shit
ply to give aid and comfort to the
disloyal Democracy.
. Ir was a great mistake, says the
Philadelphia Record, not to :transfer
the management of the Indians to
the War Department. The officers
of the army have a_ perfect under
standing of the hardships to be en
countered in huriting'-aiter warlike
sfivazes and in being hunted by:thetn .
Ftir this reason they are slow to to.
meat unrighteous quarrels. The 'ln,
dian agent is not troubled .by any
such restraint. In time of peace he
sells the Indians inferior goods and
bad whisky at outrageous prices, and
makes money by the operation. In
time of war:ii e drives a still heavier
business in eontiaband goods for the
savages and high priced supplies for
the soldiers, and makes more money
than ever. Until such times as the
nation . ceases to treat the Indian
tribes as independent, treaty-making
'powers, the military 'power of the
-nation is' the only power which can
deal with them successfully.
THE prospects for better tinies4nre'
certainly brighter now than they have
been since the panic. Furnaces,iroll
ing mills and other_ manufacturing
establishments that give employment
to thousands of workmen are' resum
ing operations in different parts of
the State and we believe the day is
Jawing when smoke rind sparks will
issue from every stack in the old
Keystone. It Ts fitting that Pennsyl
vania -should take the leadin resum
ing Ind4tries. She was the heaviest
loser in the general crash and she can
inspire the most confidence by start
ing her fires and belts first.
COL. PIOLLET does not seem inclin
ed to quietly sdlow D. C. DEWITT to
walk away with the Democratic-Green
back nomination for Congress, and is
taking active steps to prevent the
young Wyoming statesman from be
coming the leader of the party in
this district. Of course neither of
them have any idea of Irving elected,
and the contest is
.simply to decide
who shall be captain of the forlorn
hope. I It . makes not a particle of
difference to the Republicans which
suceee,is,as the people of this disrict
have decided to return Col:0v Eteros,
and the question who shall be defeat
ed by him is of small importance.

THAT MEETING.
Pursuant to Cakeight - members.of
the Greenback
,Standing Committee
met in the Grand Jury Room on
Tuesday afternoon. -
.The . object of
the meeting_ haying been stated,- an
animated discussion followed, occu
pying most of the afternoon. At five
o'clock the room -was cleared, and
the Committee went into secret RCS
sion to deliberate over the arguments
pro and con on the Crawford County
System. The Democrats were ex
tremely anxious to form a coalition
which would enable them .to
. secure
the nominees for all the important
offices, and - When the Committee re
ported that they had deCiined- to ad
here to the Crawford County System
and had postponed the primary meet=
lugs until the middle of September,l
such Dethocratic patriots as J. E.
Pr
ou Col. MEANS and several others
were unable to conceal their chagrin.
The Idasou l Greenbao Club of this,
place was instrumental l in securing
'the - action of the Committee. They
do not; propose •to be made the cat's
paw for hauling Democratic chest
nuts out of the ashes.
THEStOII Free Pres;c: Do not
telPbad tales about your neighlsr
and fellow town people. So much
of that' indiscreet gossiP has done in
calculable damage. Credit is of more
value than cash. If you destroy one
man's credit you aid to destroy ered-
Win the whole neigborhood, while
if' you secure a man's riches you
simply transfer so much capital from
one to otherS. - With abundant crops,
no pestilence, and peace, there are
reasons for encouragement. The
years of _prosperity were'many, and
it was only by continued months of
commercial dissipation, which result
ed in the " - panic" or "hard times,"
and only time will heal the wounds.
'Talk is cheap, but it won't bring
high wages and big dividends. t\ In a
short time we wilt talk of the present
crisis "as a.thing of the past, and our
individual experiences will be .inter
esting material io amuse the coming
generation. The bug-bear of *ant
and poverty can be easily frightefie&
by words, of cheer, and 'acts of faith
an&confidence. The man who sees
only destrnetion and poverty in the
•
future, and can only talk of the prob
able
_failur6s, is an unhappy creature,
and4loes damage. The world owes
each a living, and we can take noth
ing away. We leave empty-handed
anyhow.
THE last champion marksman is
Dr: W. F. CARVEH: lie uses the rifle
instead of a shot-gun. At Boston the
othar day he broke with rifle balls,
ninety-six glass balls out of one hun
dred thrown from the trap. Ile then
broke one hundred in four niinutes
and twenty-one seconds. This feat
beats„ Captain Botuaous, who has
never done better than to break one
hundred with a double-barreled shot
gun in- five minutes. At - -the - same
trial of skill the Doe* astonished
the:spectatorS. -Ty made holes thrb'
quarters and everi dimewitli a rifle

breaking with a rifle, 5500 gl t ass balls
in 500 minutes. lle then intends
going to Europe to exhibit his skill
to the visitors 'at the Paris Exposi

will try his hand on tigers and other

TEZOTIOR WEST
On the Dense and Zia Grub Rail Boa
. ,
Proeseur Bpecfal Coriespendent. .
Denver, the Northern termini's of this
road, is a zity of about 25,000 population,
and is located on the plains 60 miles oast
of the Rocky Mountains. The principal
street,is Larimer, which is 100 feet ;vide.
and the business places are wel and sulk
stantially built of brick or sto p .- Theta
is a very large trade with tha fining ra;
glens, and this is the main-base of sup
plies- for the Boulder. and Central City
regions. • Leaving Denver by the Denver
and Rio Graudo Narrow Guage Railroad,
the grade is quite heavy until getting near
Colorado Springs, and this is the . . first
place of importance. Colorado Springs is
a town 61 5,000 inhabitants and is located
near. the toot of the Colorado Pike's Peak,
land from this place excursions are made
into varioas portions.of the Rocky Moan- .
talus and the summit of. Pikelis Peak s.
The altitude of the team being 6,000 feet, ,
the atmosphere is very rare and - the ;readi
er at all times quite cool. It is a place
usually sought by consumptives, and sto
ries of many wonderful cures are told' of
this locality. The' streets are all 100 feet
wide, have fine shade-treoss on each 'side, -
and a stream of water is kept running• in
each gutter. The excursion to Glen Eyrie,
6 miles distant, is madeby carriage. The
entrance to the glen is made through a
wooded pass, and near by is dui Sentinel
Rock, - which is about .1.6 feet square at
the base, about 20 feet-square at the top,
and 120 feet high. Passing farther on we
come to the Glen proper, which is a suc
cession of waterfalls, narrow chasms and
huge rocks, through one of the great can
ons of the mountains. It presents some
beautiful mama and well repays -a visit.
The next excursion is the Garden of the
Gods, about 4 miles from Gleu Eyrie.
The entrance to the Garden of the Gods
is between the immense lied 'Rocks stick
ing up out.of the plain,—the Rocks on
ono side being 300 feet high and on the
other 330 feet, and the distance between
them about 100 feet. After going through
this we enter a garden surrounded by
hills on all sides, with steep, rocky sides
and with no vegetatiori, and they present
a very pleasing contrast to the open,
grassy plain at your feet. This Gaul& Is
from one-fourth to one-half of a mile wide
and 5 miles long, and all over its surface
are rocks sticking up as if growing out of
the grassy plots, some of which are from
50 to 75 feet high, and some from 250 to
300• feet. They take all kinds of forms
and shapes. Some seem to be sticking
edgwise in the ground ; some as if cut
and piled up by sonic master mason ; oth
ers in irregular shapes, and in some can
be distinctly seen the profiles of men and
animal's. One of these, called Belem
Rock, is 75 feet high, about 40 feet square,
'audits base is wedge-shape, and when it
is set on the Rock for abase is only about
6 feet square. It looks as if it could be'
pushed over easily and. could be sent down
the mountain side several hundred feet.
From the Garden of the Gods seurroute
lay to Ute Pass, about 4 miles further in
the mountain. This Pass is a rocky gouge
or canon, as they are called here, and is
the route taken by the miners and Tor
transportation to Leadville, Fair Play and
the silver mining regions. For miles it
looks as if the mountains had cracked
open -by some convulsion and formed a
great chasm from .300 to 500 feet deep,
and through which quite a large stream
of water conies tumbling and - pouring.
It would seem almost an impossibility to
Make a. road through this Pass, but by
good engineering and a great deal of labor
it has been accomplished, and opened up
a rich mining region to the 'world. The
road for the first mile ascends quite rap
idly and is cut out of the solid leek, and
-at the Utz Falls is about• 100 feet from the
creek below and,,the same from the top
of the mountain. For timid persons the
dizzy heights take off the charm, but for
' others the scene is grand and strikes the
beholder with awe, and looking from the
. road at the grand falls of the Uto is ono
which cannot be described, but has to be
seen to-be appreciated. -
'Returning from the mountains we next
stop at 3lanitou. This is the great water
ing place of the' Rocky Mountahis, - and is
well supplied with good hotels. There is
i a -large soda spring and an t iron spring
bore, both of which are very; strong .'nd
are well patronized by invalids from all
parts of the United States. Between this
and Colorado Springs is located Pike's
,Peak, Whose summit is capped by snow
the year around ;and whirl is . 14,500 feet
above the level of the sea. The trip to
the .summit is made on donkeya up to
within 2 miles of the top, and that dis
tance has to be made on foot. The trail
to the summit is 17 miles long, and the
snow has not sufficiently 'melted yet to
open it so that per Sons can make the trip
to the top. .
Returning to Colorado Springs we take
the cars again and are soon whirling
southward at a livid rate, the grade do
:mending rapidly. Passing by Pueblo,
Which has been described MI former let-.
ter, der joarney is towards the San Juan
region : and soon the Spanish Peaks ap
pear, which are the twin peaks of the
. Rocky Mountains, and whose topsare
covered with snow nearly the year around.
Our route lays across a sandy plain for
about 70 miles, When the fawns Veta
Pass is reached, and .at thii. point com
mences a grand succession of scenery un
equaled by any place in the United Stalek. -
The railroad goes through the Veta Pass
and over the Sangre do Christo range of
the Rocky Mountains. Entering the Veta
Pass we ascend rapidly, and soon discover
in the distance Dump Mountain, and near
its top a faint line. This is 14 mileis dis
tant, and is the track of the Denver and
Rio Grande Railroad, and over which we
have to pass an . hour later. On and on
we go, higher and higher : and although.
-the train is .reduced tia a single • Fiasenger
car, yet by the puffing of the engine it
clearly indicates the laboring of the iron
horse in getting up this steep grade. Soon
the milestone curve is reached, and at
the point of this curve the engine and
1 ba ck car are only a short distance apart,
land at three-quarters of a mile from the
bend the tracks are only about SO rods
apart, though one side being several hun
dred feet higher than the other. The as
cent to the top of Dump Mountain is a
fearful ride ; in many places the track is
cut out of the solid rock, and in looking
out of the car window Wilt 4,000 feet to
the bottom - of the gulch below, and as;
straight down as if cut down by a chisel. ;
The grade is 213 feet to the mile, and at'
the summit it is 2,439 feet above the Vista
Valley, and this elevation has been reach
ed in going about 12 miles. At the sum
mit we find a fine stone depot, though
among the boulders and above the clouds.
This station is 9,500 feet alxive the sea,
and is the highest railroad station on this
continent, and the highest•in the world
except one, which is a station on a rail
road in Peru, South America. From - the
summit our descent is quite rapid for 12
miles,, when Garland is reached. This is
the Southern terminus of this road, and .
is 220 miles from Denver. The town of
Garland is a frontier town of 1,500 inhab
itants, and has all been built since August,
157. • it will probably boa flourishing town
until the railroad is extended, when all
the inhabitants will vacate in a day, the
buildings being all built in sections and
can be taken apart at pleasure..
We have taken a trip over the , Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad, and found the
.country. along it filled with charming
'scenery. Paasing as iti does along the base
and into the very heart- of the Rocky
Mountains, it is full
. of interest either to
the tourist and lover of nature, or to those
seeking high altitudes for their health.
We find in striking contrast the green
plains of Denver and the snow-clad sum
mit of Pike's Petik; the muddy and tepid
waters of Pueblo, and the health-giving
waters. of Manto n ; the deep gulches; of .
the Uto Pass and Glen Eyrie, and the
summit of Sangre de Christo. Thus the
scenery changes almost every hour, and
presents a panorama.whieh no other rail
road in America can do, and any one via
iting the West should by all means extend
their trip to the Rocky - Mowitaies and'
spend a few days along this varied scen
ery, and they will bo repaid for it.

are supplied with a dipper, a 9n pail and
several pans. Tho fishermen, •of whom
there aro a ,great number at this point,
use a gill-net varying in length from three
hundred to twelvehundiM fathoms. The
baste of the •Commission keep close 1),)
the Oilers while they make their drifts
and dish over their nets,' overhauling the
shad after eackeatch, which this season
ranged from a dozen to a hundred or More.
When a ripe fish or- "spawner" is found,
a ticket is given in exchaegeordeemable
at the station, the
. spawn is carefully
stripped into a pan, impregnated with the
milt, and set aside for a few minutes,
while the bast is rowed to another "".sil
ling boat." The man taking, lie spawn
with the utmost care washes tho eggs by
dipping out and renewing the water pre
viously put into the pan, and when clean
transfers them to the pail.. Iu about
twenty-five minutes they grow very heavy,
feeling to the hand thrust . intii the pail
like No. 2 shot. Thus each boat continues
its round till no more ripe fish are found,
when they lie to and wait for the • launch
which tows them back to the barges, gen
erally about twelve o'clock. Sometimes a
million eggs are taken in a night. Each
" spawner " is expected to yield twenty
thousand eggs, but the. number varies
greatly. .. •
Arrived at the - barges, the eggs aro
turned over to the hatcher, who places
them immediately in the hatching appa
ratus.. Thisis of two kin& : Copper cones
two feet iu diameter at the top, three feet
in depth, with a wale:tied tin rim solde /
ed vertically two inches from the top,/tt
rubber tube from the supply_pipe to the
opening in the bottom carrying a stream,
of water forced by tlui steam pithis r.s
beive the most of them. The perforated
tin rim prevents the. foil from / being car
ried off when the coue is full of water i
the stream driven through' the rubber
tube attached to the botlnt - keeps :he
contents of the cone in ec!as' eless agitation,
while the surphis Ovate r/ is carried off by
another tube. plaecd at top. The other
kind is more simple. It consists
. of a
sheet-iron bucket three feet iu diameter,
three and a-half feet in 6ptli with wire- I
cloth bottom, att!ached to a lever project-
iug from the side of the barge and worked
by the steam / engine. One-half- or more
of the bucket is id the water,' and by the
action of the lever it is continually raised
and sunk several inches. This, of course,
keeps tbe contents in a state or agitation.
From / throe to six days are required for
the hatching ; a day or two afterwards
• the / young fish are ,toady for shipment.
Cans; similar to ordinary milk-vans, hold- .
big about twelve gallons are used - fur car
rying the iirli ; the numbe?l,dt into a can
varyhes" aeOording to the distance they are
to be t ransporters—a long journey from
fifteen' to twenty -thousand, shorter dis
tances about twenty-live thousand. ~
Fish are furnished upon the request of
Congressmen or others, and sent to re
mote as well as to near localities. Most
of the railroads have ' generously issued
circulars to conductors and'other employes
directing them to render every assistance
to agents of the Cominission, and to pass
free cans of ydling fish in 'baggage-ears,
An expert with one or. two assistants goes
with the fish, for they require unceasing
attention,, and the water ilas to be chang
ed every two hours or oftener. Changing
the water is drawing oft' .a pailful, of
which one-half is thrown away, a like
amount of
.fresh water put into the pail,
then pouring from pail to pailto freshest
it, and . returning the water to the can. A
rubber siphon, a tin tube,, the lower third
of which is perforated, two pails, a dipper
and thermometer aro essentials -to the
proper care of young fish. The fish suffer
least, perhaps, when the temperature of
the water is between sixty-six and seven
.ty-two degrees, although they may be car
ried at a lower and slightly higher tettr
pemture. thi - long journeys through the
Southern States ice is constantly brought
into requisition. 'Au average shipment

the fish are counted, for they arc so
diminutive scarcely half an ' inch in

As to the work of the Fish Commission,
