WHO ARE THE PEOPLEY

The other day Q. R Holden, of Denver, felt called upon to announce what Colorado wants and means to have. He telegraphed to 8 firm of stock brokers in New York city saying that "insids of sixty days 150,- 900 men will bs out of employment, 500,- 900 people will be entering the verge of starvation. We will repudiete all our bonds and obligations due in the East, as we have no money to even pay the interest. It will bring about a new declaration of independence and the establishment of & western empire" This was rather i'm pressive until the Denver Republican felt called upon to affirm that 1t was unmiti- gated bosh; that the census of 1890 proved that there were less than 14,000 men em- ployed in all the silver and gold mines of Colorado in the previous year, and that there Is no ason to think that the num- ber has increased in the interval, while 1t cannot be affirmed that the total population of the State is 500,000 The Republican added that no one in Colorado would give any weight to financial assertion made by Mir. Holden, and pointed out that the interests of that State are much less closely allied with silver mining than is commonly supposed.
 Ths couatry breathed easier for day or two, thinking that Mr. Holden was only an episode. But then uprose the governor of Colorado, Q Populist named Waite. He | announced that the demonstration act of 1873 was 'secret and fraudulent" and l threatened that "Lhe conduct of the maes- | es'-the masses being mine owners and "the debtor clsssT-Rould be "opeu and violent" And he let himself loose after the following fashion: If the money | power shall attempt to sustain its ururpa-
 tion by the strong hsnd,' we will meet
 the issue when 1t is forced upon
 us, for 1t is better infinitely that
 blood should flow to the horses brides
 than that our nstionel liberties should be
 destroyed" In conclusion, he said: "The
 war has begun. It is the same war
 which must always be waged against op-
 pression and tyranny to preserve the libsr-
 ties of men"
 We'll, we'll, welll At the present rate of
 progress 1t may soon be necessary to deter
 mine who ara the people. And If this
 country is going to be deluged with blood up to horse's bridle 1t behooves men and
 women to learn how to use stilts, for the
 walking will be unpleasant.

In a New York police court the other day e gentleman and his wife began legal proceedings to compel neighbor to extin- guish a rooster thst used to begin its crow ing long before daybreak, making sleep impossible except to his deaf owner. The keeper of the bird swors that the voice of his pet was as soft as oooing dove's and that the action was prompted by malice. The case seemed to be going his way when the rooster, having been brought in as An exhibit, lifted his head and emitted crow so loud and long that decision was given for the plaintiff forthwith.
 A man who wants an office badly Is quick to take a hint that will help him. Dr. D. J. Lsndrum, of Columbia, South Carolina, wanted to be a special agent of the treasury department in Oklahoma ter ritory. But the doctor had long, white whiskers, and when he called on the presi- dent Mir. Cleveland feared that he was too old to go out among the boomers and bad men of the infant territory. The next day a sprightiy, clezn=shaven gentleman called at the White House and made application for the position, and got it. It was still the doctor, but without his whiskers. The barbers are doing lively business in Washington as result of the Incident.
 The first failure among Canadian banks since the banking law of 1890 went into operation occurred in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was that of the Commercial bank, which has been one of the largest in the North west and has in circulation some s400, 900 in notes, which will now all be redeemed if the bank does not resume. The suspen- sion or failure of a Canadian bank does not affect the validity of its notes any more than our national bank notes are affected by the insolvency of the bank which issues them. Canadian bank notes are a first lien upon the assets of the bank, includ ing the stockholders liability, and begin to draw 6 per cent. interest from the date of the issuing banks suspension until re- deemed. They are also protected by 8 re- demption fund held by the government.
 Some of the British government officers get fair pay. The various secretaries or heads of the home, war, foreign and other offices. including Gladstone as first lord of the treasury, receive s5, 900 or In round numbers $25 900 year each. Prof. Bryce, as chancellor of the duchv of Lancashire, has SIG, 900; Arnold Morley, postmaster general, SIP, 500; John Morley, chief secre- retsry for Ireland, s21 ,125; the solicitor-gen- ersl. $30,0 900, with fees in addition, and Sir Charles Russell as attorney general, $35, 900, with fees amounting to several thousands more. The speaker of Commons gets $50, 900, and the chairman of the committee of ways and means SIP, 800. Under-secreis. ries in the various departments aud junior lords of the admiralty and the treasury are paid from s5, 900 to SIG, 900; s5, 900 Is about the lowest salary any second rank depart ment officer receives. A rough estimate of the total British civil list, not going out side of the high cabinet and departmental offices, brings 1t up to about s4, ,000, 900 a year.

Al SIGNIFICANT CEREMONY

A SIGNIFICANT CEREMONY. England Is lost, according to the notion of some Englishmen, unless sotion is at once taken to defeat the designs of the Papists. The other day England, by order of the Pope, and the action of Cardinal Vaughan, was solemnly dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St. Peter. The ceremony took place in the Brompton Oratory. The congregation included the very flower of English Roman Catholicism, clerical and lay, and the Greek Uniat Archbishop. After High Mass, In which Cherubini's
 music was rendered by a magnificent choir, and a sermon by the Rev. T. K.
 Bridgett, Cardinal Vaughan, assuming an ancient mitre said to have been worn by Thomas Beckett, advanced to the steps of the sanctuary, attended by priests and des- cons, for the purpose of ''dedicsting Eng
 cation took the form of the following
 prayer, which the congregation repeated
 after the Archbishop: 70 immaculate Virgin Mother of Our Lord Jesus
 Christ, Mother of Grace, and Queen of the Kingdom of Thy Son, humbly
 kneeling before Thee, We offer Thee this
 country in which we live. It was once
 Thine. Before 1t was robbed of the holy
 faith, all its children were Thy children,
 and thou vert honored throughout its
 length and breadth as its protectress and
 its Queen. Again do we consecrate 1t to
 Thee; again do We dedicate 1t as Thy own
 dowry." Another prayer, found In the
 Book of Cerne, which belonged to Ethel
 wald, Bishop of Sherbourne, A. D. 760,
 followed, and, after some other observ-
 suces, the morning service was brought to
 a close. In the afternoon Cardinal Vau-
 ghan preached and Great Britain was dedi-
 cated to St. Peter with ceremonies similar to those of the morning. In both, efigies of St. Mary and Ss. Peter were displayed prominently.
 This is case where saying so doesn't make it so. It Is believed that Roman Catholicism has made much progress in England lately, and it is ss good time as
 any f'r the Papists to hope that they can reconquer 1t. Perhaps they can. Stranger things have happened.
