| Street superintendent Hogan is put
ting III a sewer mouth at the southeast cor.
| ner Of Eleventh street and Washington av-
enue, an improvement that is much needed
| to drain the street and avenue around the
| whilom Wilcox block. A similar improve
msnt is needed at the corner OF Seventh
and Commercial. There Is no sewer
mouth there, the nearest being at Sixth or
| Eighth streets. The cutters are not prop
! erly graded to afford drainage from Seventh
to either of these mouths, and the result is
that every rain floods the cutters and the
street and the water stands there until alb
sorbed by the ground or the sun.
That distinguished publicist, Cornelius
Mcbride, Esq, F. G. L., is discoursing
learnedly on the balance of trade; the
equity of protection and other trides of this
nature. After examining the balance of
trade, Mr.. Mcbride concludes that every
American who is not willing to pay SO for
flannel shirt he could buy for 50 but for
the protective tariff, ought to be sent to
England aud made to stay there Life is
too short to argue with all the Mcbride
family Of orators, but we would call the at
tention Of this distinguished member of it
to the fact that he is about the only great
political economist left who argues on "the
balance Of trade as the test Of the pros
perity of nation. We fear that Mr.. Nc
Bride has too much Adam Smith under the
moss on the back of his ideas st. Louis

As to the cause of the red sunsets the
Denver Reporter says: The red sunsets OF
some time ago have at last been solved.
Our reporter returned this morning from
flying trip to Gunnison county. While
there he found the .op of the snow on the
ranges as red as if sprinkled with red pep
per. Being supplied with chemicals and a
blowpipe outfit he was enabled to make
test, and found it to be meteOric iron. 1t
could not have been washed from noun
tain as it was on top of the range as well as
lower down, and only on the surface of the
snow. Upon digging down few inches
the snow was clear and white. The sun
shining through this oxide of iron made its
rays red, giving the same effect as red
piece of glass. The dust fell over the en-
tire earth, but invisible except where
caught by the perpetual snow of the noun
tains.
