WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF? {?

While we do not believe it wise
to agitate such possibilities as are
contained in the following, yet it
is a truthful land that's what
hurts) account of the condition of
affairs in this country at present
and we fear that if Congress does
not act quickly to relieve the pres
ent stress, we are more than likely
to meet with realization of His
tory repeating itself"
There are probably $4,000 men in Col
orado who want work, but are idle
because they cannot get it. This is our
estimate, based upon general knowledge
of the situation in every part ofthe state.
Naturally there is no way Of getting the
exact number, and the estimate is neces-
sarily only an approximation. In the
OulICu CbutCb llClO ulC bCfClhl
of people in the same condition. They
will most, if not all, be idle when the
winter SHOWS begin to fall. In fact it is
probable that their number will be large
ly increased by that time. They will be
hungry and destitute and desperate.
They are the inevitable product of the
monometalic policy, and il they do not
prove, in the United States as whole, to
be the means through which retribution
will be visited upon those who are guilty
and responsible, then history will cease
to repeat itself.
| Just now there is something fascinat-
ingy interesting in reading chapter of
history recounting condition of affairs
in another country where the greed of
power rendered a large part Of the people
poor and larger part idle and in want,
as they are now here. 1t was in France,
just one hundred years ago, Tithes had
robbed the peasant and workman and
small producer of every kind of half bis
product Homes and lands we're mort
gagged, and the ability of the people to
pay their debts decreased as the greed Of
the rulers increased. At last they rose
in rebellion, and the French revolution
began. The mobs surged through the
streets first crying for bread, and soor
nothing but blood satisfied them. Castle
and chateau, bank and store were looted
and robbed, and those who had been op
pressors were hung until hanging grew
too slow process to suit the desires o
those who had control, and the guillotint
was invented to do more speedy work.
In certain way there is great simi
larty between the condition Of affairs il
France in 1893 aud the United States il
1893. In both the classes robbed the
masses by law. In the former there
were thousands who were idle and driv
en- to desperation by hunger. In th,
latter there are millions who are idle anc
rapidly growing hungry and desperate
The condition of affairs is not one which
is altogether safe or pleasant, whatevcI
the final result may be.-DeHUer Mining

line billiards, GOO points a night, and
during the match each contestant Will
play his opponents twice. The expert
winning the largest number OF games

In one respect at least the contest will
be quite a novelty. Owing to the fact
that the manufacturers have declined
to offer q purse the match Will be en-
tirely in the hands Of the players them

Few people not closely identified with
billiards have any idea what an arduous
task training for a great contest with
the cue is; what patiehce and seli-de-
NAL are called for, and what hours,
DAYS and even months OF the hardest
kind OF hard work each contestant does
before he Is 10 the pink OF condition.
For many weeks Ives has practiced six
hours a day to get on edge for his re-
cent match with Schaefer and the still
greater triangular battle Of December.
Schaefer has been and is working
tirelessly to get his "playing clothes
on, and IL may be said with but little
exa~ggeration that be has almost slept
on his table. During the past two
months he has worked with his cue
from six to seven hours daily, and the
result appeared in his recent game with
Ives, when he made the unprecedented
run of 343 points November %, eclipsing
the best record ever before made by liz
points. When IL is remembered that
two nights later Ives made a run OF
456, also breaking tho new
worlds record by exactly lib
points, there seems no room TO
doubt that Ives, too, is In form to play
the match of his life. Thirteen may
be an unlucky number, but judging
from these two record breaking per-
formances there Is nothing the matter
with 113. In the meantime Slosson has
not been idle. Every day for weeks
past The Student" has been hard at
work, and it is safe TO assert that he
will have his stroke by the time the
big games begin.

purposes two sets Of balls as nearly like
the balls to be used during the contest
as Ii IS possible to select them. The ar
engagements are OF q general character,
but in the matter of selecting cues
the players are governed by their in-
diYidual preferences. SlOsson is partial
to a light cue and will use one about II
ounces in weight. Schaefer prefers an
is ounce stick, and ives is accustomed
10 a still heavier one-l9 ounces being
the weight be favors.
There has been considerable specula-
ton as to whether or not Schaefer has
fully recovered the use OF his wrist,
two small bones OF which were irac-
tured by a fall in Chicago last March.
II strikes me that the best answer TO
the question is Schaefer's recent run OF
343 in Chicago. This would seem to
argue that The Wizards fractured
wrist is . great deal more effective thsn
il was before the accident happened.
There also appears to be considerable
doubt in the public mind as TO who is
balk-line billiard champion of the world.
Ives won the trophy aud still holds it,
although be has offered to surrender ii
to the Brunswick Balke-C0llepder Com
pany, the donors. But as Ives and
Schaefer have both violated the condl-
tions governing the possession OF the
trophy, it has, technically at least, re-
verted TO the donors, and there is to-day
no champion of the world. On this &C
count il is much to be regretted that
the coming triangular match between
the big three will not result in the nam
ing of a new champion.
