GOOD TIMES COMING.

The Carson Appeal believes hat an
or, Of prosperity is dawning upon this
State. based upon actual developments
There are several factors entering in
TO this problem. First will be the war
OF transcontinentnl ireights and fnres,
which is bound to reduce the price Of
general merchandise all over the Coast
Fol many years wages have been going
down, while the c~ost:of / viug:has been
about the same because of tbs high
freight on articles manufactured in the
East
The departure Of the Chinese from
che Coast, which now may be consid-
cred q settled fact, will largely contrib
nte to the prosperity Of the country by
removing u non-assimilating, %devouring
element, which, by reason of the low
fares over the Pacific lines. will imme-
dintely BIO replaced by a class of labor
srs from the East. which the Coast just
now sadly needs. There need be no
ienr that the vacancies caused by tina
exit Of the Chinese will not be speedily
filled. The law which governs such
cases 10 as certain in its workings as the
law which governs the dow Of water
seeking its level.
During the past year the agricultural
and cattle industries have taken q
great impetus. aud large capital has
ben invested in these branches Of busi.
ness oil over the State. State lands are
being taken up and converted into pas.

cultivated where there was one ten
years ago.
The mines, generally an uncertain
problem, are looking up. and the hest
posted upon such matters predict n new

rate advantage. regardless Of the disas-
TER which might follow from oue end OF

kept precisely where organic law
placed it. The power to expand or
contract the circulation meant the pow
er to reduce or increase the prices Of all
property and Of oil labor-the power to
provide either staGnation or unhealthy
activity in every branch Of industry. II
from any cause the National Banks
should suddenly retire their circulation,
u crash would follow that would shake
the country from the center to the cir
cuInference. No set OF men having pri-
Vite interests of their own to subscrve
should be trusted with such n power.
Congress, representing the whole peo-
pie, should hold to all important power
with an undyiug grip. The mere state
ment of the fact that Congress had del
egated the power to n lot Of banks was
sufficient to startle and fill with conster-
nation the mind Of every mau who COM
prehends the disastrous effect that
would follow n contraction of the cur
rency to an extent possible under the
existing law.

To ~counteraet the opposition to silver

erature in other States, and to put
speakers in the field to advocate the
cause. The only effective way to do
this Is through organized effort, and we
urgently appeal TO the citizens of every
county in Colorado. to call county on
ventions without delay aud form silver
associations by electing executive COM
mittees. with auxiliary members OF nc
tive men who will push the work in
each precinct OIL camp. The chairman
OF the county executive committees
should also be constituted members OF
the general committee Of the State as
sOcIation.
We further recommend hat the coun-
ties will hold Their meetings Saturday.

G committee appointed by the State con-
ventiDn will issue calls for the meetings
in their respective counties, and in coun-
ties where no members have been ap-
pointed upon the general committee the
friends Of silver will issue calls for that
purpose. The vacancies upon the gen.
sral State committee should be filled by
the election OF one member from each

You feel nothing OF the cold in those
tightly built houses, where all the doors
and windows are double, and where
the rooms are kept warm by big stoves
hidden in the walls. There is no
damp in Russian house, and the in
mates may dress indoors in the light
est garbs, which contrast oddly with
the mass offurs and wraps which they
don when going out. A Russian can
afford to run no risk efexposure when
he leaves the house for walk or drive.
He covers his head and ears with a

How a Gallant: Conductor First
Met His Claiming Wife.

Chicago Herald.
'sYes," said a conductor on the Hi.
nois Central, 'I'm married at last,
boys, and am mighty glad if it. But
the strangest part of the story is how
| came to meet my wife. Itwas about
year ago. One day we stopped at
one of the stations down the line
where the track is doubled, when there
was a freight train approaching on
the track west of the station. The
freight slowed up so that passengers
would have time to cross, and then
put on steam and came along after I
had given the signal to the engineer to
start. But had stood on theground
looking out for passengers who might
jump off and get hurt, as always do
under similar circumstances.
Son this occasion it was well that I
did, because q young woman came
running out of one of the coaches of
my train and excitedly made q Jump
to get off. She landed right in my
arms, and if | hadn't been there she'd
have fallen before the freight engine
and been crushed to death. Well,
boys, | just held on to her until those
two trains had passed, and they
weren't very short trains either. She
was so excited | didn't dare put her
down, and I felt quite comfortable the
way / was, anyhow, with her heart
beating against mine. Well, in that
minute and a half I lost my heart,
and we were married week before
Christmas. She says she always did
like q man who had sense enough to
hold fast to good thing when he had
a chance"

his lap, when she happened to- pass bv

his lap, when she happened to passby
on the opposite side of the street.
Looking up at the window, she sud
denly stopped and stared. Before he
had recovered from his surprises
stretched out her arms, and cried:
aOh, my pussie! Nell, Nell, won't
you come to me?''
The cat sprang through the window
and crossed the street inless timethan
it takes to write the words. There
could scarcely be a doubt about the
ownership. The animal, with arched
back and Strengthened tail, was de-
ightedly rubbing itself against her
shabby dress, and she was bending
down talking to it as if it were her
child
Bond was not SLOW to grasp the
situation. He rose hastily to explain
the circumstances under which he had
bought the cat from a lad, whom he
had believed to be the rightful owner.
He was trembling in every limb, for
had not his opportunity come atlast,
as some one has said it always will
come to the man who waits? Blum
dering down the stairs he whispered
to himself: Given the cat loves her
and she loves it. l knew she was good
and pure and lovely"
81 must apologize, he began, ad-
vancing awkwardly. "Miss-Miss :"
"Mrs. Travers," she said, rather
defantly.
"Mrs!" he gasped, staggering back.
Then she was q married woman! This
thought affected him even more pain
fully than the one that followed it.
Some time before he had read in the
paper a charge OF swindling brought
against a Mrs. Trayers, described as
member OF agang Questionable sharp
ers. ''Then you are a widow" he
cried, with startling energy. sob, in
PHYS sake, say you are a widow"
| She laughed scornfully. Pointingto
a seedy-looking individual who was
approaching, she said:
Here comes my husband. Now,
pray, what have you to say against me-?
Just say it right out before him, lfyou
! dare"
| Poor Bond skunk away to his
darkened room. His dream was
over; his life was spent. He
relapsed into his old bookworm
habits, wore clothes as ancient as ev-
er, and to the despair OF his landlady,
renewed his edict against busting. The
life had gone out Of him, and three
years after, strangers carried him to
his rest in Kensal Green, his landlady
the only mourner. A plain tombstone
marks the place where he sleeps, dream
ing. perhaps, some happier dream,
with a loftier ideal, which the world
can never tarnish nor time can destroy.
