The Denver Republican fayors a
change in the present ballot system
of the state. 1t recommends that the
names of the various candidates be
printed in the same column, instead
of separate ones as is now done The
party that each candidate represents
is designated The voter puts a
cross against the name he wishes to
vote. The advantages claimed are
economy, and a better chance to
scratch intelligently and safely. 1t
would undoubtedly be simpler and
cheaper but the change would be a
bad one for those American citizens
who are unable to read, and have
nothing but the various emblems to
guide them.

Great interest is everywhere man
ifested in the monetary conference
now sitting at Brussels. The propo-
sition submitted by Alfred Roths-
child has met with more favor than
any other. Its substance is that
Europe purchase s25,000,000 worth
of silver yearly, the United Statos to
continue its purchase of 4,500,00O
ounces per month. The European
price to be paid is 43d- This would
make the price here about 93 cents
per ounce. There is wide differ

from Callao through the heart OF Peru
is the highest and most wonderfully

grades are often Of 800 feet to the
mile, and when the Andes were reached
so difficult was the work that laborers
were lowered from cliffs above by
ropes III order that they might carve
foothold to begin the cutting for the
roadway.
Tunnels are more numerous than
open cuts and as far as the road has
gone sixty-one tunnels h ave been con-
structed, aggregating 20. 600 feet in
length. The road attains height Of
ID, 900 feet above tho level OF the sea
and at the highest point is about equal
to the topmost peak OF Mount Blanc.
