APOLOGIES TocoLoNeL DANIELS.

The News acknowledges the receipt
from Colonel Percy Daniels, lieutenant
governor of Kansas, Of a letter which
is elsewhere published. All of the
articles Colonel Daniels mentions are
also at hand, together with one he did
not allude to, viz, fine cabinet portrait
of the gallant old Rhode Island
veteran.
The tax bill and the newspaper COM
ments we have carefully read, with in
terest and enlightenment, and hasten to
declare that b eretofore we have had no
just conception of what Colonel Dan
ielss scheme really is. We were in the
dark, made more dense, as Colonel
Daniels suggests, by the perversions
and prevarications Of such of our es.
teemed contemporaries as had contri-
buted to our erroneous knowledge.
The taxation scheme which Colonel
Daniels is to bring before congress at
the special session Is entirely unique,
but II is we'll worth careful examina-
tion. II not patient study. 1t is ingen-
ious, IL suggests possible cure for
several glaring evils the country is now
afflicted with, and IL certainly wholly
frees Colonel Daniels from the odium

TO put upon him. Itrelieves him of the
suspicion Of being crack. brsiusd and

THE TREASURY TO BLAME.

The picture of distress in Colorado
drawn by President Andrews of Brown
University is the darkest yet presented
by the Democratic administration and
caused by its action.
The tariff is not factor in Colorados
depression. 1t is silver mining and that
alone that makes or unmakes the state
prosperous, and it is the action of Demo-
cratic officials in the enforcement of
the Sherman law that is directly re-
sponsiblc for the recent bank troubles
in Denver. They alone must take the
blame for the semi panic which their
pettifogging methods caused.
1t has heretofore been the custom of
the u. S. Treasury to remit payments
for silver purchases to the refners on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
The certainty and regularity. Of such
remittances enabled the refiners and
smelters to pay the companies and they
in turn to pay the miners.
When, therefore, on the first
of the month the Treasury
ceased to make its regular purchases,
and suspended them for few days,
the smelters and mining companies
were left without resources. Recent de-
cisions of the treasury not to purchase the
allotted amount monthly unless it was Of
fered at a suitable price and to fix the
price by the London quotations, show
the spirit OF the administration fully.
Il has deliberately gone into the
market with these announcements, for
the purpose of depressing the price of
silver. BY depressing the price of
silver. it has ruined the silver states. I"
The Sherman law is not perfect. But
IL is the law of the land. II may be
the most pernicious law ever put on the
statute books but 1t is law and ought

certain customs have become fixed in
the silver states. Their very life depends
ON the enforcement of that law. Times

country was on the verge of

without injuring the East. With these
conditions the treasury announced its

DO You See
The Point?

1t is not difficult to
a demonstrate that we can
Just now save prudent
buyers a good deal of
money. These Bargains
we mention are only
samples. There ar e
equally good ones in
many lines of goods. In
Hammocks for example
(another Summer neces-
sity) you can now save
enough to justify buying
not only for this season
but for next.
Two of the Best Bargains OF
all are In Ladies' Tennis
Shoes at $I.7s. which
were SAYS and $500
and in Boys Calf Button
Boots at $I.2s, which
were $I.so and $2.oo.
The sizes are limited.
and the quantity is not
large. Prompt action is
necessary.

TAKE A SENSIBLE VIEW.

AXE oeNoloIc VIEW
One of the most imminent OF the
dangers that threaten the business OF
the country today, is that the true sig
niicance and value of the apparent de-
preston will be misunderstood and
exaggerated.
That there is serious trouble Is. un-
fortunately, impossible of denial.
That there is condition so serious as it
appears by the newspaper reports, un-
discounted, is not fact.
At this time of the year there Is a
great deal of temporary closing OF
mills everywhere, and general slack
ening of production in all lines, except
in times of the most exceptional pros
perity.
The shut-downs and suspensions this
season are rather more than is usual,
indicating that business is not up to the
average. But the importance OF many
of the reports of cessation or work
is swelled beyond warrant. 1t
is assumed in every case that the
cause Of the shutdown is the depression
Of business, when in fact it may be
nothing but a summer vacation that is
taken every season. All of these cases
are reported and carefully telegraphed
over the country, but usually without
the data that would make them COM
prehensible to the editors.
1t is true of the bank failures in the
West also that they are in only a
limited sense due to the silver question
or the present business depression. The
inflated methods Of the West have be-
gun to work out their legitimate
results. The West has brought
its own punishment upon itself, and it
would have come as surely without
the silver agitation, and despite the
business depression. as 1T has at this
time. 1t is not only unjust, but betrays
gross ignorance to charge silver or
the general timidity of business
with the condition of the Western
banks. The trouble in the West has been
gathering for years, and it is only the
inevitable result of methods that are
as sure to bring disaster in their train
as the sun is to shine.
That it is the dull season for news is
also responsible for some Of the exag-
geration. The temptation to print
something that the people will read is
very strong, and is not withstood by
many news editors.
The impression that there is business
panic impending is not borne out by
facts that will bear the scrutiny that
ought to be applied to them. 1t is true
that business conditions are improving /;
slowly, to be sure, but yet so perceptibly
that the improvement is perfectly ap-
parent.
It Is the duty of all good citizens to
face the truth, and to make strenuous
efforts to discover what the truth is.
In this matter of the business de-
preston there is good ground for hope
that the worst has passed and that the
future promises improvement. The
improvement will not be very percepti-
BILE until the summer vacation season is
ended, and by then congress will have
assembled and the president will have
been given an opportunity to prove to
the country that its faith in his power
to procure favorable action from con-
gress on the repeal of the Sherman law
has not been misplaced.
The moral for business men is to
look as cheerful as they can, and IL
they cannot look cheerful they should
not look gloomy in public.
