TO SPLIT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
That the sub.treasury demand is of such
nature it can never gain the support of the
democracy in the southern states, and that
an attempt to secure such democratic sup
port, car end only in a split in the demo-
cratic ranks in the south. This, they say,
will break up the "solid souIh," and this is
an end which they have had in view. They
profess to believe that their people will
applaud them for having entered into an
arrangement by which this end can be &C.
complished, and that they will feel the
sacrifice Of their principles in connection
with the sub-treasury scheme has not been
too great, if thereby the democratic party
can be hOpelessly divided. In support of
this general policy as outlined, several Of
these pl0tters have been placed upon
record. For instance, +
PRESIDENT M'GRATH
of the Kansas alliance said in the presence
of several witnesses yesterday: "We did
not vote for the sub-treasury bill because
we believed in it. The fact is, we are OPP
posed to it; but we saw by making it an is
sue in the south we could break up the
democratic party. This is the explanation
turn home"
j. G. WILLIS
of Kansas, who is the most prominent can.
didate for the United States senatorship
in opposition to ingalls,, said: 1--WE never
did like the sub-treasury bill and we have
no confidence in 1t now, but we supported
it at Ocala so as to divide the south and.
break up the bourbon democracy"

To Relieve the Financial Depression.

To Relieve the Financial Depression.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The cabinet
meeting yesterday considered the financial
condition of the country, and as q result
the president, it is understood, will send a
message to congress early next week sug-
costing as a measure of relief the enact
ment OF legislation for the issue of
additional currency based on the increased
purchase of silver.
SECRETARY WINDOWS METHOD.
Secretary Window, who is in New York
city to-day comforting with bankers as to
the best method of offering prompt relief,
is said to favor the purchase of the present
stock OF silver, amounting to about 13,OOO,-
OOO ounces, and purchases also of an addi-
tional amennt equal to the annual require
ment of national bank notes estimated at
$2O,OOO.0OO, thereby adding about $3O,OOO,-
600 to circulation.
POWERS AMENDMENT.
Senator Power to-day introduced a pro-
posed amendment to the bill to reduce the
amount of United States bonds to he re-
quired by national banks, so as to provide
that whenever the notes retired under the
existing laws of national banks shall az

silver bullion to the amount Of $l,OOOOO
and to pay for the same with United
States notes, to be issued precisely the
same as provided for under the act Of con.
gress approved July 12, 1890.
A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR.
A misplaced parenthesis has caused an
unintentional error in tile provisions of the
Mckinley tariff act. The committee, in
framing the law, intended that Irvine COM
posed of sisal, sun and other grasses
should be dutiabls at two cents a pound,
and as a separate rate of. duty was i'm
posed on binding Irvine, the committee, to
make this clear, intended that the words
.s'except binding Irvine" should be enclosed
in pareDthesis Immediately following the
word "twine." The parenthesis, however,
was misplaced so as to read ''except bind
ing Irvine composed of sisal, sun aud other
grasses" 1t was. cOntended. that this had
the effect Of making only binding Irvine
composed Of the grasses named dutiable at
the special rate. The committee to-day
ordered the bill favorably reported to cor

The blood orange is a mere variety
of the sweet orange, obtained by cul-
tivation, and appears first to have been
raised by the Spanish gardeners in the
Philippine Islands, from the capital of
which Manila) it, together with the
well known cigars, formed at one
time one of the chief articles of export.
On its first appearance in Europe it ex-
cited a considerable sensation, and in
the last century very high prices were
demanded for the tree which bore the
wonderful fruit. None, however,
now come to US from Manila-our
supply being derived almost en-
tirely from Malta, where great
pains and attention are bestowed
upon their cultivation. 1t was for
a long time supposed, and indeed
the idea is not yet quite extinct, that
blood oranges were produced by the
grating of the orange with the pome.
granate, but there is not the slightest
foundation for this belief.-Chambers'

WE nno see that the city has verv

interest January instead of September

Its outstanding city warrants amount to
1878 80. This leaves a balance of less
than 800 in our favor. City warrants

In Governor Warren's speech before
the Denver chamber Of commerce, which
is reported with great circumstantiality
in the Denver papers we find the follow
ing sentence: Commencing there with
a valuation Of about 5000, 900 and pass,
ing along to the next FIVE years % per-
hsps II, 0oo, 900. we haze came-not in
deed to the point Of this proud city of
Denver, but we eau show YOU our taxable
lists of $50, O0O, OO0."
We are sure the governors punctilious
soul would recoil in holy horror from the
use of any such barbsrism as we have
came" Even in the woody west some
little attention is paid to grammatical
construction and we therefore hasten to
record our belief that gross Injustice has
been done the governor through the typo
graphical eccentrisity of some of his
newspaper friends.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
The annual meeting of the Board of
Trade will be held in the city hall at S
o'clock this evening. On this occasion the
annual report of the secretary Of the Board
of Trade will be read, an address will be
made by the president. and a board Of
trustees consisting of nine persons will be
elected. In addition several matters OF
importance to the future of the city will
come up for discussion.
members of the Board of Trade should
attend the meeting, and by their attend
ance show the interest which they feel in
the purposes OF the organization. During
the past year a great deal OF work has
been done. even though no practical re
suits are shown further than the extensive
Advertising of Cheyenne and Wyoming,
which is daily evidenced by the inquiries
which pour il from all parts OF the
country. Now, at the outset Of
new year, which marks the
beginning of what everybody be-
leves to be a long season OF prosperity,
is the time to revive and stimulate
general interest in the Board Of Trade.
As is too frequently the case in such
bodies the interest has been kept up by a
comparatively small number Of people.
In the great array of committees proba-
bly, not more than two thirds of them
ever organized, and of those which did OF
ganize probably not one-hali ever did any
business.
The year 1890 will show better results
for the labor performed by the board OF
trustees. 1t should show also better re-
suits in the way Of general interest Of all
the members. Each man should put his
shoulder to the wheel. In this way can
we hope for results which will have a last
ing influence on the future OF the town.

FRANK BUT UNFAIR.

The Chicago Tribune says; 1T is an
expensive piece Of business for a territory
TO set up as a state in the union, as North
Dakota is finding out, before it has rev.
enue to meet the enlarged demands.
Those who advocate such a premature
step are neither wise nor iudicious friends
Of the proposed state. Wyoming will
come into the union in due time, but not
before she is prepared financially for it.
Why should the politicians of Wyoming
insist on admission before congress passes
an enabling act and before the census of
this year has been taken, which will dem
onstrate how much population she has
and what are her taxable wealth and re-
sources2'
The only trouble with the Tribune is
that under the SuIse of apparent candor
1t has strived to throw doubt upcn facts
and figures which were Cleaned from
official sources in this territory. The
7ribume's objections, however, are a mi
nor consideration in comparison with the
harm that has been done Wyoming
chances through putting it into an omni.
bus bill Wyoming has a good chance to
secure the boon of statehood in a separate
bill but very little if handicapped by
association with other territories. Con.
gress should at least allow each territory
to stand UPON its W merits. The draw
backs to one section should not bs per
mitted to weigh against the chances o
another. Therein now lies Wyoming
greatest danger.

BLIGHTED HOPES.

Dark Is the season OF reaptng
The hight Of the promiseful year,
Denied the sweet solace Of weeping
o'eT sorrovs too deep for our tears!
ReaPing that chat when we dare not
Even dream Of the full ripened grain;
Grevtng DER fair hopes that arc not.
And Joy bells that ring not again
Sad Is the season OF reAplng
When shudders the soul In the blast
And shadows come stealthily creeping
Prom storm shrouded wales OF the past!
Before US the future lies yawning
With anguish, heart hunger and pain;
And vainly we long for the dAwning
or days that will come not again.
Drear Is the season OF reapinR
When hushed ar the laugh and the song
When harvest hy4h echoes are sleeping
The hours are 20 lonely and longl
The dream field OF life all deserted,
Then why should the reaper remain
A cleaner still seeking. sad hearted,
A love that win live not Again.
