THE STATE CAPITAL.
One of the most important ques-
tions to be decided at Our fall election


tions to be decided at our fall election,
will be the location Of the state capi-
tai. Denver doesn't need it; Lead
vile won't have it; Boulder has the
State University; Collins has the Ag-
ricultural College /; Golden has the
State School of Mines Gilpin county
has both the United States Senators
and our only Representative in Con-
gress Denver has /" the start" and
the U. S. Mint Colorado Springs
has the State Deaf and Dumb Institute;
Pueblo the Lunatic Asylum, and Can
on City the Penitentiary. South Pu-
eblo, on the mesa, is the only place
that suggests itself to us at this mo-
ment as the most needy and appro-
pirate place where the location of the
State Capital will do the most good to
the greatest number, and be most con-
venient for our assembled Solons.
Firstly, because ii would be great
benefit to the place; that extensive
forest of transplanted cottonwoods
would not then be allowed to die from
neglect and want of water. Secondly,
several extensive saloons would have
to be erected to correct the alkali in
the water for our legislators; the erec-
ton Of the state buildings would give
employment to many idle hands who
would probably settle in that vicinity.
Thirdly, it is beautiful place, with a
fine view of the Rocky Mountains in
the background. Tourists and inva-
lids would congregate there, as it is
the lowest town of any note in Colo
RADIO, and would be a pleasant winter
resort for consumptives and lastly, it
is centrally located, SO we say thar's"
the place to locate our State Capital.

Whichever way they turn they see the eNI-
dences of prosperity; the indications that 'he
country has entered upol long and saieiy
prosperous career are abundant on every
hand. They know-for everybody knows VINO
in this prosperity which the country owes To
the party which has put General Hancock IN
nomination. On the contrary, every Item o.
it, from the solid basis OF the Union, when
was established under Republican admin
istratOn, on which all this social structure
rests, to the very goodness OF the Doiar
that, thanks to Resumption, sets all thcse
wheels in motion-every item of the whole Is
due to Republican administration and RtpuD-
Iican policy. The whole fabric stands ana all
the machinery Of progress is running III IT,
because of the Republicans and in spite OF
the Democracy. And in the midst OF IL al
he thoughtful voter hears the raging Demo
cratic orator and newspaper clamOrlng Tor
"change." He looks the situations over ana
sees no reason for, but every reason against II.
To this consideration OF the attitude OF the
thinking men of the country. which OF course
affords the greatest encouragement to kepuD-
leans. it must, however, be added that the
success the more desperate the supporters OF
General Hancock become. Whoever has been
in q position to hear the uttcranccs
of Democratic leaders during the past
two or three weeks must have noticed
an increasing tendency on their part to give
up details but claim the general result They
arc now adding to all their talk about Han
cocks election a very significant and threat
ening "any how" as who should say, He'll
abe the next President any how" This
means of course, nothing more nor less than
a threat to count him III whether he be elected
or not. In the inner circles we know that this
has been openly talked. The drift, of Demo
cratic talk for several days past indicates thai
it is becoming more open and common, and
that the Democratic heart Is being fired az
sort of preparation for 1t. IL seems almost
incredible that such a thing should be sug-
gestcd, but we have seen these men attempt
desperate things before The contingent
scheme in Maine was incredible. Even
Democrats outside the State secuted the
idea, and some Democratic newspapers
laughed at it as "TRIBUNE scare But all
the same, the rascality was undertaken, and
Democratic newspapers fell into Its support,
and assisted it so far as they might. The
good sign at this stage of the canvass is, a.
we have said, the attitude OF business men,
and the general disposition to find out what
is meant by a change before voting for
Hancock The bad sign is that the desper-
ate men who are so fierce for "change"
having both branches of Congress in their
control, may after their defeat undertake
similar performance TO that which Lately
failed in Maine.

THE FLOW OF GOLD TO AMERICA

The enormous reduction of the public debt
in August, $12, O27, 167 80, deserves special
attention, although it has been surpassed
twice during the calendar ycar-in May and in
March. In spite of a reduction wholly unpre-
cedented, amounting TO $69,626, 200 56 for
the first half of the year, which has not been
equalled in either half of any other year in
our history, the Treasury is enabled to exceed
S12,000,000 again in August. During eight
months OF the year the reduction has been
$S7, 229, 43O So. The cash in the Treasury has
diminished since July over 100000. and
the certificates of deposit for currency
have diminished $4235,000. Hence the
currency not covered by certificates Of de-
post has increased from $1S, 434,123 90
August 9, to $2O339. $40 33 September /.
1t is still more encouraging that the store of
gold owned by the Treasury. which has been
constantly decreasing for many months, at
length begins to increase. Deducting gold
certificates not in the Treasury, tho amount
Of gold owned by the Treasury was only
$115,274. 645 81 August 2, and was
S12O,O1s.179 as September l. The store of
silver on hand also increased. but only from
$77.25O. 1872 43 to 79,O2s.2 50, and the
| increase in silver not covered by outstanding
certificates was less than $l,10O.O00.

GOOD SIGN AND 4 BAD ONE.

No fair-mlnded OF impartial person who has
had occasion to listen to the conversation OF
the average voter In public places and else
where during the past fortnight can have
failed to observe two or three striking
features of the present canvass. One of the
most marked of these perhaps is the growing
thoughtfulness and the questioning mood in
which a great many business men and others
who have been in the habit heretofore of
voting the Democratic ticket are coming to
regard the whole subject. Men who have
been voting for Democratic candidates for
years simply from the force of habit have
begun to consider the question more seriously,
and ask themselves it, on the whole,
it would not be very dangerous expert
ment to try to turn over all departments
of the Government to the Democratic party.
They can see with half an eye that whatever
may be said to the contrary, or however the
suggestion may be pooh-pOohed and dismissed,
the election Of General Hancock, by putting
the Democratic party in possession of every
branch of the Government, does practically
put the country in the hands of the COnfed-
eracy and its leaders. There is no avoiding
this conclusion. Solid South, holding
the policy of the Darty-and when the party
Is in power the action of the Government is
absolute-can work, with whatever it pleases,
its own sweet will. Thoughtful men see
this, and where they have been-fOr any
other than selfish reasons-voting the Demo
cratic ticket are drawing back from
the inevitable logic of it; many saying that
under these circumstances they will not vote
for Hancock, but if they vote at all will
vote for Garfield.
Men all over the North, too, are beginning
to consider more seriously the talk of the
Democrats of the need of CHANGE and
to inquire what precisely is meant by it /; how
business welfare are to be affected by it. In
| this city they see such activity in business
circles as has scarcely ever been known
| before the Wholesale houses In receipt of
| orders to such an extent that packing for
| transportation is going on night and day.
| and the streets are crowded with their loaded
dTays and vans steamboat lines and railroad
companies doing business that has no
parallel manufacturing of all kinds more
prosperous and successful than at any
| previous period in the history OF
the countryi new enterprises springing
up In every direction, and old ones en-
larging their facilities and increasing their
development capital everywhere employed
and labor contented land they ask themselves
what change, 90 far as our business interests
and material welfare are concerned, Ia needed.
