NOT CURRENCY ENOUGH.
The Controller Says More Money Is Needed
Now than Was Formerly Required.

Now than Was Formerly Required.
The annual report of Controller of the
Currency Lacey has an interesting study
of the existing financial situation. 1t helps
to explain the demand for more money
which comes up from all parts of the coun-
try The Controller doesn't say so in his
report, but he has previously shown that
the circulation has not decreased per capita
during the last ten years. On the contrary,
It has slightly increased. This, therefore,
cannot be given as one OF the causes for the
tightness in the money market. In brief,
the explanation is that business requires
more cash now than it did ten years ago.
MIR. Lacey reaches this conclusion by a
series of comparisons. Roughly speaking it
now takes $168,OOO to carry on a business
transaction for which less than ten years
ago $780, 600 was sufficient Secretary Win
dom has Controller Lacey's figures before
him, and probably they have something to
do with the plan he is seeking to devise for
increasing the circulation by inter
convertible bonds. The silver people
see in this another argument for
unlimited coinage. The total number
of active national banks Oct 81, $780, was
1867, which is an increase over any pre-
viOus date These banlIs have in capital
stock 1859, 7S2, S65; bonds deposited to Sc
cure circulation, S140, 100, 900; bank notes
outstanding, S179,755, 643, including $54,796,-
907 represented by lawful money deposited
to redeem circulation still outstanding.
The gross decrease in circulation during the
year, including notes of good banks and
those of failed and liquidating associations,
was $22, 267, 772, and the decrease in circula
tiOn secured by United States bonds was

to adopt the new price, and it is evident
that the price of champagne will be raised
throughout the country. So far, champagne
IS the only wine whose price has been
raised but it is more than probable that
the price of all other imported wines will be
raised at an early date

Sherman viii Retire.

Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, has
decided to retire from public life at the
close of his present term, and will not be
a candidate for reelection to the office
he has so ably filled. He has been con-
stantly in public positions for forty years,
and has been one of the most conspicuous
figures in official circles during that
time. He has been one of the leading
candidates for the Republican nomina-
tion for President before the three last
National Conventions, and has always
accepted his defeat gracefully and la
bored hard for his successful opponent.
No man will be more missed from public
life, and no place will be harder to fill.
He has been loyal Republican ever
since the party was organized and his
career is a bright star in the constella-
tion of great statesmen, who have added
such bright lustre to the record OF the
Republican party.

Romantic Career Ended.

Gen. John c. Fremont died last Sun
day in New York city. He was II years
old, and his career was one of the most
romantic in American history. He was
known as the pathfinder" on account of
his extensive explorations and discoveries
in the far west. He conquered California
and added that rich country to the
United States. For long time it was
supposed that he was short in his ac-
counts with the Government, but he was
never prosecuted. Only few weeks be-
fore his death an error in the book
keeping of the department was discov-
cred which showed that instead of him
being defaulter the Government owed
him $4,000. The load that was lifted off
his shoulders by that discovery was 30
great that he tainted on the spot, and
had never fully recovered. He was the
first Republican nominee for the Presi-
dency and the only one except Blaine
that was ever defeated.

Republican Party on Top.

The probabilities at present are that
the Senate will change the old rules, and
adopt new ones after the pattern of the
Reed code adopted by the House. The
tariff and election bills will then be
passed and Congress will be ready to
adjourn, unless the returns from the
census are furnished by the Bureau in
time to make the apportionment for the
next House before the election. In
which case it will be necessary to remain
in session long enough to ease the public
mind by making it utterly impossible for
the Democrats ever to elect another
President or majority in either branch
of Congress. The new apportionment
and election bill combined will undoubt-
edly accomplish this great good for the
country.

There has been some talk about CO.
alition between Republicans and anti
lottery Democrats TO carry Louisiana at
the next election. AS the last Demo
cratic majority was $4,000, and Governor
Nichols seems to be the only Democrat

pose the lottery, we cannot see how the
combination will seriously affect the
regular maiorities. However if the Re-
publicans form combination with Mr..

Senator Tellers name has been men,

dency. We don't believe for one moment
that he would accept it, but in case such
a thing should happen, no man but Jas.

BILE statesmen for the head of the ticket,

ocratic scheme of nominating a tail-end
to boost up the head. Mr.. Teller will
not place himself in the position that
Hendricks did in 1884 and Thurman in
1888. The people of Colorado desire that
he shall continue to serve them in his
present position, which is far superior to
the Vice Presidency,

state Central COMMITTEES Meeting

The Republican State Central Com
mittee met last Saturday at the city hall
in Denver. Prowers county was repre-
sented by Committeeman B. B. Brown.
The basis OF representation in the next
convention was fixed at one delegate for
each 100 votes cast for the Republican
electors and two at large from each ooun-
ty. The total number is 613, and Prowers
county gets five. September 18th was
the date set for holding the State Con-
vention. The meeting was one of the
most harmonious in the history of the
State. A resolution endorsing our dele
cation in Congress and recommending
that Hon. Henry NJ. Teller is the best
man to succeed himself passed unani-
mously.

Can't Even Get a Kick.

About one year ago tramp printer
appeared at Stonington in Baca county
and started a hand-bill called the Senti-
Cleveland administration under various
names but always Democratic. But af-
ter he arrived in Baca county he became
an ardent advocate OF the third party
until they refused to make him court
house janitor or spittoon-cleaner or any
thing else commensurate with his ability.
He then became Republican "time- tried
and fire-tested." After living in the
wilds Of that county on sage brush and
"buffalo chips" until his gall surpassed
everything else about him except his
ability to make an ass of himself, he
moved to Granada where he received no
encouragement except from the Demo
cratic boss who was pining for a paper
that he could dictate TO. He immedi-
ately became a persistent applicant for
everything the Republicans had TO give,
and his failure to -catch on" 30 reused
his two above named accomplishments
that he has since been venting his spleen
on public officials. His attacks consist
OF epithets and idiotic assertions that no
one will pay any attention to. The only
definite charge he has made is that the
Republican Register refused to give land
notices to his tramp Democratic sheet
with a county circulation of 25, when a
Republican paper was published in the
same town with over 800 county circula-
ton. His object is evident, being un-
able to associate with gentlemen, he has
been fiaring his coat tails in the face of
Mr.. Ford in hope of gaining the notoriety
OF being kicked by one. He has failed
because Mr.. Ford is too kind to kick a
cur, and has too much sympathy for his
shoes to inflict such stencil upon them.

Legislature should remember that this
is Colorado and not Louisiana.

three Congressman after the new appor-

time for this election several of the new
candidates for Congressional honors may

A Million Pairs of Stockings a Day.


was told to day by one of the promi-
nent hosiery merchants that the produce
ton of seamless hose in this country was
about 100000 dozen pairs daily. This
seems incredible, and yet my informant
is a man of wide and accurate knowl-
edge of the trade. A daily production
of 100000 pairs of stockings would
mean 1900, 900 pairs each working week
or $50, 900, 900 pairs year, an average Of
five pairs to each man. woman, child,
bedridden invalid, and pickaninny in the
land. And this covers only one class of
stockings, though probably the most
numerous one OF course, the bulk is
of the cheapest qualities, those that sell
in the trade for so cents dozen and
thereabout. But how are they used,
and where do they go? 1t is almost as
deep problem as the death and the
future life of the pin. These statistics
throw a strong light on the gigantic di-
mansions of the clothing trades. We
scarcely put hosiery and underwear
among the important divisions of dry
goods, and yet the transactions are be-
You'd the scope of an ordinary magma
ton. A few weeks ago a company Of
dealers representing the importing side
of the trade alone gathered to confer on
how best to protect their interests before

pendous total of 5000, OO0,O 900. Il New

A Novel Invention,

A pocket typewriter is shortly to be
offered to the British public. Typewriting
instruments now in market are of con-
siderble size and weight-at least person
could scarcely think of carrying one about
with him regularly The one under no
tice is not only inexpensive, but is so
small that it may be carried in the waist
coat pocket. The retail price will be
under ten shillings; it measures 81 in
ches by inches and weighs about four
ounces. Though So small it is not a mere
toy. The inventor claims for it that it
will turn out better work and be found
more useful than larger and more expen-
sive machines. With reference to its
construction, all that can be seen when
specifically examined is disk about
the size of the face of gentleman's watch
in which the type is fixed, and one or TWO
small rollers 1t will print line from
an inch to yard long, and paper of any
size or thickness can be used. Any one
can use it, though, as in the case of other
instruments, practice is required to en-
able the operator to write quickly. An
other advantage is that by means of du-
plicate types the writer can be used for
different languages. Patents have been
obtained for most of the countries in
Europe as well as for America, Canada
and Australia.

a Precious Bedstead.

An English lady resident in Syria re-
ports the following interesting discovery
in the neighborhood of Beyrout: In a vii
lage about one hours ride from the
French road between Beyrout and Da-
mascus was found bedstead made of
gold and silver, and inlaid with precious
stones. An inscription upon it in English
characters states that it belonged to
Eleanor, Queen of England. The bed
stead was discovered in a little recess
dug out for the purpose within natu-
raj cave, and must have been placed
there for security when Edward left
the East in 1912.
The Turkish government has taken
possession of the treasure trove, though
the prevailing opinion in the district
seems to be that it should remain the
property of the man on whose land it
was found. 1t would be interesting to
know what the Turks propose to do with
it. But if the inscription calls Eleanor
Queen of England the words can not
have been placed upon it before Edward
left Syria, as he did not hear of his faith
er's death until he reached Italy. There
can, however, be little doubt that the
bedstead has been buried in the earth
for the last six centuries.

A Kings Romantic Career.

The King of Dahomeyis man of edu-
cation and accomplishments. He was
reared in Paris, and much money was
spent and careful attention was lavished
upon his instruction. But in an evil
hour he fell in love with Partisan
beauty, and because she would not have
him the young man made up his mind
that the life of barbarian was prefer
able to that of civilized and enlightened
being. He babe eternal adieu, therefore,
to the classics, the arts, and the sciences,
and zealously set himself to the pursuit
of barbarian career. His most remark
able reform as King of Dahomey was to
surround himself with bodyguard of
strapping women, regular Amazons, who
rode horseback man fashion, used the
bow and spear, and welded the battle
axe with singular dexterity. His maj
esty has theory that these women are
better fighters than men, and are more
likely to be loyal to his interests. A
contingent of these Amazons is to be
brought to London soon and shown to
the public in the French exhibition now

Hereditary Tufts of White Hair.

Every one who knows Mr.. Whistler
knows Mr.. Whistler's white tuft, which
is as much part of the man as the butter
fly is part of his writings. "Attention
may be drawn, says the British Medical
Journal, ito a remarkable example of
similar popularity which was published
last year by M. E. Pascal in the UniUers
Wustre. In an old Limousin family
with which that gentleman is acquainted
nearly all the members, both male and
female, have from their earliest youth a
fluff of perfectly white hair, such as
adorns the head of we'll known London
artist. This tuft is generally situated
over the brow, but sometimes is on the
temple, and more rarely at the back of
the head. The family has been famous
for this distinctive mark in its own part
of the country for 800 years, and they
are said to be as proud of it as Redgaunt-
let was of the hereditary horseshoe vein
on his forehead. The white lock, which
can be seen in the family portraits for
many generations back, is said to be
rather becoming, even to the young
women of the line
