The above forty-seven reasons why Den

any city in the world to equal The above
enumerated resources are either in Denver
or directly contiguous, and all within very
few miles Of the city limits. Denver is the
metropolis of an empire greater in extent
than all of Europe combined, and the center
of mofe natural resources than the whole
world combined beside. Then are we

Chicago claims one hundred persons worth
over one. million dollars. We are inclined
to doubt the claim. Chicago has very few,
if any, who are worth more than souie Of
our wealthiest citizens. This rapid accumu-
lation of wealth fascinates the energetic
and ambitious young man of the east, we
are gradually sapping from the east their
best young blood. The millionaires Of Den
yer are, with few exceptions quite young
men who have acquired their wealth within
the past ten years; the Tery wealthiest are
those who wore poorest ten years ago; some
of the "flthy lucre" has been acquired from
mines, some from live stock, and still others
from fortunate investments in Denver real
estate, and not an inconsiderablc portion
from legitimate mercantile pursuits. The
geld is open, and fair fight for fortunes
favors is constantly waged. The Survival
of the tittest" cuts no figure in Denver in
the sense that tits applied in literary Boston,
or Gotham, but, much as it is applied in the
pig-packing, cow-canning city, at the head
of lake Michigan, viz: Chicago, whose
Counterpart Denver strives TO become.

Nowadays an ingenious woman can
manufacture an endless array of use
ful and ornamental things at small
cost. Wooden boxes, covered with
bright-colored figured silk and orna-
mented with tassels and ribbon loops,
make pretty receptacles in bed

other minor accessories. While many,
living in small houses, resort to num-
erous clever ways of utilizing every

MANY important matters will come
before the next legislature of Della
ware; the most important OF which
will be to provide for the calling of
a constitutional convention. Some
of the ablest jurists in the state have
expressed the opinion that the vote at
the special election in 1887 will justi-
fy such action; and without con-
vention, it will be next to impos
sible to secure the changes in our
organic laws necessary to the reforms
so earnestly demanded by the people
1t is agreed for example, that moth
ing would conduce more to good
government than district representa-
tives in the Legislature, by which the
minority party would always be sure
to have some representatives in that
body. But district representation
cannot be secured except by constitu
tional amendment; and constitutional
amendment can come best and easiest
by constitutional convention. Sc

De other questions besides a consti

be a long one, and if people wh'
have business to bring before tn
legislature will prepare and presen
it early in the session much needles
delay will be avoided.
