A SILVER CONVENTION

A Silver Convention will be held in Denver on January 2S. The leading miners Of the State have for some weeks been discussing the advisability of holding one, and they have now issued call for a general meeting of the mine-ovners and others interested in the continued coinage of silver.
 We are glad that the miners of the State realize the need Of making imme- diate preparations to meet the fight on silver which is sure to come within the next year. The Tribune-Rcpublicdn has frequently suggested that the men who are interested in the coinage of silver should organize to protect their inter ests, just as the cattle men and sheep growers of the West have formed soci- cites for the advancement and protec- ton of their interests. The advantages of these organizations are already ap- parent, although the societies have been in existence but a short time. Both tbe cattle and sheep interests have receIved greet benefit from their respective as sociations, and there Is DO reason why the silver-men should not be benefited by an organization of the same nature.
 The prime motive for the calling of Silver Convention is to adopt some hne of action to checkmate the gold stand ard men, who have greatly increased Tn numbers and influence during the past two years. We can think of no better
 way to do this than to form an associa- tion of silver producers. It should be broad enough to take Tn as members the mining men of all the silver States | aud Territories. Of course the first step
 would be to form State association; the other would follow. As Colorado IS tho chief silver State, it IS her duty to take the lead in the movement The sll- yer question and the need of protecting the silver interests should be agitated by every newspaper in Colorado. We will be the losers if we shall be apath- etic c.-Denver Tribune Republican.

The Eu-agemsnt Ring.

About the happlest day in the life oi a young lady says PHrt, Is the day up- on which she receives an engagement rino. She will hold her hant up and look at the ring from all points and ad- mire it. and assure Adolphus thai he ls I1st too awfully nice for anything for giving it to her. And she always wears it that day no matter what happens. If the ring is too large for her she will ram bits of wood under if. just as the boy puts branches or trees and other things under his skate straps tO keep his skates On- Ahd'aI'eF she gets 1t fixed Co suit her. she starts out to call on her friends. They all Enow bcfore she arrives that she has received ring and are on the q41 t'te- They either tell her it k very pretty or else they pretend not Co notice li :ii all, in either of which cases the recipient of the riny is delighted beyond descrlp- tion- Because if they compliment her she think, that they are affecting an ln- difference to her good luck that they do not feel, and that :hcy would tear her to p,eces after her departure. And if tbev don't say a word or notice the rin0 the young lady knows that they are wild with envy, and would give l sheir ears tO be in her place. And sh' k olad to think that she has destroyed their happiness. And she calls on eycry one she knows, and removes her glove at every house, even if she rem1 ns ou two minutes

WHERE TO BUY

We are m receipt of an elaboratalx prepared and protusely illustrated cata. iogue and invitation to purchase dry goods and wearing apparel through malls. There is an array of sec mipgly low prices to tempt the accsptance of the generous invitations. They indicate that the goods are beiug almost given aWay-"ss cheap as dirt" Aad Yet We must decline this seeming advantage in trade, and regre; tha: any one should accept. Perhaps We could save T few dollars by sending away for many of our commodities, but suppose our nelghoors and everybody in turn send abroad for their thousand aud one pur- chases; suppose tLe printer sends away Tor his dry goods and the merchant procures his printing ia tue great cities: suppose tEe professional man sends off Tor his groceries and the busiucss man procures professional assistance abroad: suppose the miners or farmers club together and serd for all tbeir neces-
  saries to San Francioco; suppose We were al! ;o rely upon foreign dealers to supply our wants, and dispose of all we have to sell, how long would We have a thriving and prosperous city? Eacll member of community Is dependent on his neigLhors for supporting patronage and when one sends patron age to another community he weakens the ability of hIs own surroundings to yield himself support.
 Even at seemingly e1orbltant prices It will be the most profitable in the long run to buy and sell at home. beneiiting each other by what little benefit there may be in trade. The little that may be saved by one transaction abroad may be immediately lost by our neighbours slighting us in the same way. Besides thIs the cost of bringing small articles from a distance by mail or express is not taken into account while it adds 10 the cost ottez more than it was hoped to save. Then there are liabilities of loss in trading abroad, which we do not have at home. In the large cities sharpers frequently concoct plausible schemes to get money from credulous people in provincial towns without giving fair equivalent, and even among business houses of commercial rating there are those who throw out baits to the unwary with the intention of ultimately gathering in more than they give value for. With lccal dealers all these risks are not incurred and their slight profits help build up the city and keep the money at home. We should all patronize our home dealers instead of sending away for merchandise and we will all flourish and be happy.

Cities Warmsr Than he CouptrY.

Those who happen to live at little distance from the heart of the city must frequently have noticed lack of accord between readings of their own standard thermometers and the publish ed observations of the Signal Service observers cf their locality. The reason of the discord k plain, VIZ, the per Wrbing action of the heat which the cit, emits; and however gratifying it may be Co the outsider tO find himself superior to the government observers. 1t is very little credit to the Weather Bureau that this particular source of error was not long since recognized and avoided. The remarks of Prof. Whitney on this subject, as applied to observations made at London, are per tinent and convincing. He says: ''It k well-knOwn fact that cities are con- siderablv warmer than the moro thinly inhabited country, otherwise under similar climatic conditions Statistics should prove this to be true; and there could be no doubt that such would be the effect of an immediate aggregation of population wi,hin a limited space, even if there were no statistics bearing on this question.

An Intelligent Dog.

A remarkable instance of intelligence fin dog came under notice at the Hampstead police court yesterday A proprietor of swings and round-abouts was summoned by the police for suffer- ing an unmuzzled ferociOus dog to be at large. The dog. it was proved, had on two occasions rushed out from the defendants van and bitten the legs of police constables on duty. In excuse for the dogs conduct the defendant stated that it was great faVOrite among the children and others, and never attacked visitors to the van. Two years ago it was kicked one night st the top of the eye; and ever since then it has parked st any constable passing. from which fact he concluded that II was a constable who kicked il. The bench, nevertheless, fined the defend, ant 20 shillings. including costs And the decision was not, on the whole un- iust..-Si. JaDles' Ga=etts

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the CITIZEN has not always approved the actions of the City Council and gave them its honest criticism, it is always ready to recognize merit in any of its officers.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR, ID ms message 10 Congress, has made one recommenda- hon that will arouse the entire mining
 country of the West to united and speedy action. In his message he calls TOT the immediate suspension of silver
 coinage sni the stopping ot the issue ot silver certificates. His opposition IS more aggressive than it ever was. lie now goes so far as to say that unless the ooinaEe be stopped at once, the day IS not Tar distant when silver will be our sole metallic standard. In expressing
 'n'' Idea, he simply reflects the senti- neni of the new Secretary or the Treasury, whose very appointment was Ohinous to the cause of the silver men. There Is no doubt that the present Administration will use every means hat lies in its power to further the lians Of the monometalists. The pro position that the continued coinage of sl'er will retire gold from our cIrcula- uon and make silver the only metal 1andard is absurd, and it could readily oe so proved if Congress would foi- ioT the suggestions of the sil'ei theorists. The people of the entire Iining country of the west will solidIy Piottst against the consummation ol such iniquity.

In France the ministry adVo- catsd A revision of the constitution and the Senate consented to the considers ton of a scheme for the reorganization ot that body. The idea was to abolish the life Senatorships and yet not 60 so far as to destroy the conservative char acter of the Senate. But the Deputies have already gone so far as to call out the opposition of the ministry, and have nroposed that the Senators be elected by universal suffrage, the vote to be by districts or departments; that IS, eaeh department to vote for its own Senator Under the present. constitution one third of the Senators were elected Tor life. and the vaCsncIes are filled by the Senate itself. The other Senators are chosen by electors named by the states or departments acting m eon!uDeti0n with certain local officials.

The Military Dude.

No sight that the fair, says Clara Bell. afforded was more entertaining than that of the dude in uniform. He was tall and narrow. His belt reduced his waist to the girth of shapely belle 5 and the spreading epaulets broadened his shoulders SO that, if l may be allow ed feminine expression. his corsage was given the red taper. l suppose that real soldiers in war wear cotton on their breasts as q protection against bullets remember reading that General JacA- son found cotton bales of utility m the fortifications at New Orleans. But Il seems to me that militiamen in times of peace, and particularly at dangerless fair, might safely dispense with such armor. It was not, however, with this dude. His bosom was very thickly pro tected. This was in harmony with the other girlish outlines of his figure, but of course that was merely accidental -- In keeping with the rest of him, too, was his bang. IL had no parting, Il hung nearly down his eyebrows, it con- cealed whatever indication of intellect bis forehead might otherwise have shown. and it occupied his most solicit ous attention, even to frequent inspec- ton by the furtive use of little mirror stuck in the cap which he carried. Very sweet indeed was he.
