The Denver Times in an impartial
review OF the political situation in that
state thus forecasts the vote of Colorado
in November:
ALI of which points to the probability that
the republican state and legislative tickets
will be elected, while the party's presidential
electors are likely to be defeated unless
President Harrison ia induced formally to
declare himself in favor of free silver coln-
age some time before the elections begin.
Popular sentiment has changed with great
rapidity during the past few months, but
these features are not apt to be materially
Rlte ed this year.
We doubt if the Times is correct as to
the presidential vote. Teller and VOL
colt are sticking closely to the repub-
lican party and they are likely to deliver
the electoral vote of the state to Harri-
son.

The announcement of the tax lew for
1892 as made by the county commits,
sioners will be most gratifying to tax.
payers. It shows n reduction from nina
mills in 1891 to six and a half mills in
1892 in spite Of the reductions made IN
assessed valuations from s28, OOOOOO in
1891 to S24,OOO,OOO in 1892. For state
purposes the levy is two and a half mills
for schools two and a half mills, for the
general fund one mill, for the poor fnnd
one-half mill. The commissioners have
steadily resisted any tendency toward
extravagant expenditures, and there IS
more money in the various funds thar
at any previous time, while the burden
OF taxation for the coming year will be
lessened. 1t is estimated that the taxes
collected this year will aggregate s2o4,
600. Last year they we're $4,000. The
commissioners have administered thei,
trust as prudent business men and are
entitled to the thanks OF the communit,
Tor their careful management.

ABSURD

In an article in the North American
Review on "Business n Presidential
Years" Mr.. +. B. Thurber makes some
deductions which show how the mind Of
a provincial New York city man becomes
warped by his environment. Among
other things he says: allow prices Tor
cotton in the south or for grain in the
west mean a better living for the people
Of the more thickly settled portions OF
our country, a larger purchasing power
for our citizens, an increased demand
for articles OF comfort or OF luxury. High
prices for these staples, with Il smaller
production, may NEAR as large a return,
or ven a larger return, to producers, but
less comfort and prosperity to consumers.
Thus n section OF our country may be
benefited by what is OF no benefit to an
other" An utterly absurd proposition!
The different sections OF the country are
wholly nter-dependent. New York is
dependent for it's prosperity on the west
and south. She has no foreign trade to
amount to anything. With cotton at
ruinously low prices in the south, the
southern farmer cease to be a pur-
chaser OF what New York has to sell.
As a consequence labor in the various
industries in the metropolis has its wages
reduced and is distressed in proportion.
When the Kansas farmer cannot get the
cost Of tillage for his corn he is bank
rupt and the New York merchants lose
the profits Of his trade until times are
better for the farmer. But Mr.. Thurber
is a high protectionlst and does not see
these things.

WHEN Gov. Mckinley tells the Ne
braska farmers such rot as that under
the high tariff we have sold abroad in
the past year Q wheat than at any
time for fifteen years, he not only in
suits their intelligence but demonstrates
that he is a cheap politician instead Of a
statesman. There isn't a farmer in the
land who does not know that his wheat
is sold in the Liverpool market in com
The Mckinley tariff does not give him
one cent of protection.

THERE was an over production OF
cotton in the United States last year
and no demand for it abroad; hence
distress for the southern planter. There
was an enormous crop of wheat, and
famine abroad, hence a market for our
surplus. If McKinleyism, as the Ohio
governor claims, gave the farmer a mar
ket for his wheat it must also have
ruined the man who raised the cotton.
Like causes produce like results.

Defying Superstition.

Thirteen Philadelphia young men have
banded themselves together. if rumors are
true, in what timid. superstitious ones will
call suicide club. This Club of Thirteen,
as its name bears hint, has been organized
in contempt of almost all known popular
superstitions. The club meetings occur on
Friday evenings. and the 18th of the month.

fiery haired member is the first to enter the
hall, and all pass under ladder raised in
the room. On taking his seat che president
opens an umbrella handed him by the cross
eyed janitor and sits under it during the
session. The sergeant at arms opens the
proceedings by breaking looking glass. A
skeleton sits opposite the president at all
feasts and two black cats stalk around the
room. The walls are adorned with peacock
feathers. Every member is under solemn
Oaths always to spill salt. look at the moon

Origin of Chess.


The origin and history of the game of
chess is involved in much obscurity. Some
authors say that it was invented during the
siege of Troy. to relieve the tediousness
thus imposed upon Grecian chiefs. Others
refer the invention to the Egyptians. and
cite a sculpture of the time of the building
of the pyramids. where lion and unicorn
are depicted as being deep in the mysteries
of the game. The Chinese claim the game
as one of their inventions. and so do several
other countries and nations, among them
the CeylOnese. They say that while Ravan.
a king of CeylOn, was undergoing siege.
Sofia. a HindOO mathematician, invented the
game for the amusement of his royal mas
ter. who was thus enabled to mimic the
movements of his enemies on the tiny
battle field before him.
Although we can find no definite trace of
the game in England prior to its introduce
ton by the French in the eleventh century.
it is known to have been the court game all
over Continental Europe at least 500 years
before. Alphonso. king of CASTLE. and
Pope Innocent Ill. both wrote works on the
game. and the second book printed in the
English language was 1.-The Game and
Paye of the Cheese" Saccheiri a Jesuit
of Turin called the "Chess Bishop" could
play with three different opponents without
seeing one of the boards and talk to the
company during the time of the play

Invention of a Burglar.

The key chain worn by many gentlemen
is the invention of noted burglar. who
cell for plying his vocation in the hotels of
this city. While at work one stormy night
trying to turn the lock of a Walnut street
door the false key dropped in the snow. and
while searching for it Waterman came
along and locked the burglar up and had
him sent to MOyamensing. Having some
ingenuity, he thought of having keys fast
ened to chain so that when limb of the
law appeared he could fly without thought
about tie keys. and found it worked like a
charm. He has now seen the error of his
ways. and lives comfortably on royalty
from manufacturers. -Philadephi Record.

GUTHRIE. Ok, Nov. l0.-Train rob
bers have shown up 4, Wharton again
and gone away nearly empty handed.
When the south bound Santa Fe ex-
press stopped at Wharton at Hes last
night five masked men appeared.
They had six shooters and Winchesters-
An inquisitive passenger hoped of
one of the coaches to see what was
the matter; robber set upon
him and beat his face out of
shape with a six shooter. Then
the unfortunate passenger was tossed
back into the coach and the robbers
proceeded To the engine. They COW
cred the engineer and fireman with
their six shooters, the express ear was
cut loose from the rest of the train
and the engineer got an order to run
the express car down the track about
a mile. He did it. and made remark
ably good time too.
Then the gang tackled the express
car. The doors were locked and they
could not get in. So they set off stick
of dynamite against one of the docs,
Engineer Carl Mack being forced to
light the fuse The explosion shivered
the door and wrecked the whole side
of the car and three of the bandits
made bold to enter.
Messenger C. l.. Wagner and Guard
j. 4. Rupe however. opened fire on them
and there was lively but harmless
fusillade for few minutes The rob
bers finally got into the car and over
powered the two expressmen. Then
~ 70 he 20.
fumbled over it for an hour trying to
blow it open, but they failed. Messen-
ger Wagner did not know the combi-
nation and could not help them,
though urgently invited to do so So
they had to give it up as a bad job
They took all the arms in the express
car and 4 few express packages of
small value aud departed, cursing
Justify.
The engine and express ear were
then backed up to the train, tho
coupling renewed and the train made
all speed into Guthrie, arriving here
at : O'Clock a H. The alarm was given
and special train to 60 to Wharton
was at once made up. United States
Marshal Madsen and six well armed
men with a good horse for each man
were put aboard and the train was
run north to Wharton. where the
marshal and his posse began a hot
chase after the robbers. Nothing has
been heard from them yet This is
the fourth time that trains have been
held up at Wharton.
One of the strancest features of it
all is the fact that Messenger Wagner
was in charge of the express car on
the occasion of the first robbery too.
