Blue and Gray for November.
Blue and Gray (thank heaven is
not political publication, unless a
profound desire for wise legislation
for the benefit of our beloved cOuh-
try be "pOlitics." We would well
come a system of bi-metallic cur
rcncy if it could safely be adopted.
On this question we freely admit
OYr inability to cope with the ar
guments Of 'the great financiers,
who are so hOpelesSly divided
amongst themselves. But we donot
believe that the United States
alone can safely attempt to main
tain the double standard. A COM
hinatiOn with the states of South
and Central America and Mexico
would force the creditor nations of
Europe to our terms; but such
a plan is very practicable
at present. These countries are
unstable-in their government; Eng
land and Germany control their
commercial interests. and CONNER
cial interests are paramount.
Should this government enter into
currency agreement with the
countries named, our friends the
enemy could easily render all com
pacts null and void, for their train
ed diplomatic and commercial
agents are in every port. The mer-
chants of Latin America are at the
mercy of their English and Ger
many creditors, and mutual mat
erial interests would, as always,
rake precedence over treaty Obliga-
tiOns. Were the United States on
equal footing in this territory, a
Pan-American system of bi-me-
talic currency might be successful
ly adopted. Now, what is the re-
medy?
Less politics and more business.
Less diplomacy and more COM
mercP. We suggest a cabinetporG
folio in the hands of the shrewdcst
man aVailable-a department
equalling in dignity that of War or
the Navy, in which shall be as
sembled and trained corps of
bright young business men, whose
duties shall be to visit foreign
countries whose trade it is desirable
to secure, study the needs and Gus
toms of the market, and render
careful and elaborate reports for
the benefit of our merchants and
manufacturers. Such depart
ment would be in a sense allied to
the State department, but should
be kept free from partisan pollu-
ton and managed absolutely like
huge mercantile concern, with
the one idea of reciprocal trade
with foreign nations. Our consul
ar reports are doing something,in
this direction, but effective results
will not be reached until the mat
ter is in the hands of chief whose
first and only duty shall be to care
for our foreign commercial rela-
TONS No matter how much more
vast may be our-own domestic
trade, we cannot afford to neglect
our markets abroad. And CONNER

attorney, one of Colorado's pioneers.
and one of Denyer's most prominent
and. wealthy citizens. lies at the morgue.
Mr.. Symes killed himself presumably
while laboring under pain so intense
that his reason was temporarily affected.
The suicide occurred in Room 70, Symes
block, some time between 6 o'clock last
evening and IL o'clock today. 1t was
discovered by the cOlored j%anitor. who,
knocking at Judge Symes' door and re-
ceiving no answer, inserted his pass
key and entered the room. where he
found his employer sitting in a chair
quite dead. The coroner was imme-
diately notified. On the floor in a pool
of blood lay a revolver. But one shot
was fired, and death must have been in
Simultaneous.
The dead man leaves a wife and
daughter, who are visiting in Massachu-
sets. He was wounded in the spine
during the war and of late has suffered
greatly and has been much depressed.
Before his death he wrote the following
note to his wife: My dearest wife: I
have a terrible attack of congestion of
back and brain. If l do not live until
morning Mr.. Hart can tell you all about
the assets and business affairs. Consult
Oscar Reuter- as your attorney.
"Have the whole condition of my
estate explained to Mr.. Cheesman and
he will see that my family's little fortune
is not sacrificed for of a little
money to pay interest until times get
better. Your loving husband.
G. NJ. SYMEs."
Mr.. Cheesman says Judge Symes has
been worrying about his business affairs
and i'll addition to this was in very poor
health.
Mr.. SymeS was a member of the
Twenty-itth regiment Wisconsin in
fantry, of which eX-Secretary of Agri-
culture Rusk was lieutenant colonel.
He served with distinction in this regi-
ment, which took an active part in the
battles of Decatur, Dallas, Kennesaw
Mountain, Atlanta, Jonesborougn and
Savannah. Feb. Is. 1863, he was pro-
NOTED to the %colonelcy of the Forty
fourth regiment Wisconsin infantry. In
January, 1866, he went to Paducah, KY,
and began the practice of law. In 1867
Judge Symes was a candidate for con-
gress on the Republican ticket, but was
defeated. In 1865 he was appointed by
Presidant Grant associate justice for
Montana territory. In 1870 he resigned
and began practicing law in Helena,
Mont. In 1874 Judge Symes came to
Denver for the benefit of his health.
He gained a good position in the prac-
tice Of law. He was elected to congress
in 1878 as a Republican and served one
term.

1t is now too early to begin talking
about curling-that game which is dear,
not only to the hearts of the 'braw
Scots" but many other n%ationalities as
we'll. w. W. Lorimer, Judge Cory,
Alex McCulloch, Jim Ahern and many
other lovers of the game, will soon put
away their summer outfits, and get
ready for the winters sport. Mr.. Lori
mer said Yesterday that it was expected
that matters would be ready to give the
initial game of the season on Tha nks-
giving day.
With the recOllectionS of the brilliant
records made during the former seasons,
in bonspiels and out of bonspiels, there
is every reason to hope that the winter
season will be an active one. 1t will
not be long now before the curriers' will
appear with jauntyTam O'Shanters and
brooms, and the crisp air will sOon ring
with the merry shouts of ''soop er Up!"
Already it is reported that several
new Kinks have come into existence.
Many who never actively took up the
game are how going into 1t.
In January the second annual bon
spiel of the Northwestern Curling aSSO-
citation will occur, at which the Mana
tobans, defeated last year. will enGeavor
to redeem their record. The following

Practicing for the Winters Prize
Contests.

Bowling the past week has received
more attention at the hands Of its
devoteeS than any other pastime. This
is mainly due to the interest taken in
the coming tournament for the cham
pionship of ST. Paul that will take
place this winter. There are already
eight clubs entered, ard it has been
determined TO make the first prize a set
of solid gold buttons, consisting of
five, n for each of the winning team.
Of course, the captain button will diff
fer some from the other four, II will
have the word captain upon it. 1t
has also been decided not to have any
play-off games. The club winning the
tournament will be declared the cham
pion without further contest. A set of
rules are now being prepared by the
captains of the several teams entered, in
connection with Mr.. Foley, which will
Govern the, play throughout, and it is
lie ped, when the tournament is con-
Guided, will give perfect satisfaction to
all.
The captains of other teams desiring
to enter the contest are requested to
call and discuss the merits or suggest
alterations in the contemplated code be-
fore they are finally adopted. This
ought to be done without unnecessary
delay, as 1t is contemplated commencing
play on or about the first Monday in
December.

MANHATTAN FIELD, n. Y, Nov. A.
At a quarter of three this afternoon the
Harvard and Cornell football teams
waded calamity through the swamp
into which Manhattan sfeld had been
converted by several hours of incessant
rain, and lined uD for play. When the
umpire, Perry Tratford. and Referee C..
W. Sheldon, made their appearance, a
burst of encouraging applause went up
by the enthusiastic college men who
had braved the bad weather to see the
game. Seven minutes after the
opening of the game Brewer was
forced through the center and, with
a good interference, made the first
touchdown. tairchild kicked a
goal. The ball was taken back. Cor
nell lost it in short order. Brewer made
the run of thirty yards into Cornell's
territory. Cornell again took the ball
back. 1t was rushed around the field
without much advantage to either side.
Harvard got the ball and forced Clark
through and scored a touchdown.
After a few minutes Brewer was again
forced over for a touchdown, and
talrchild kicked q goal. Score end first
half: Harvard %, Cornell O.. After a
short intermission of about seven
minutes the teams lined up again
with Harvard on the western end.
Diehl was at left end for Cornell, in
place of Young, who was at full back,
Ali having retired. Dalsey had taken
Taussig's place at right end. The Har-
ward team was intact, with the excep-
ton of Wlightihgton, who had been re-
placed by Clark. A few minutes later
Brewer was forced to leave the field,
and Gray came into the game as full
back. Harvard opened with the wedge,
gaining seven yards. In the neXt two
downs there Was no gain and on the third
Cornell gained the ball. The leather
stayed where it was for two downs.
Then Harvard secured it again. A
clever tackle by Clarke stopped Dyer
after the latter had got round the end
for twenty yards. Gray then went
through the center twice for seven and
twelve yards, and two more were
gained il the third down. Clark then
got we'll away round the end and over
the line between the posts. Fairchild
kicked d goal. Time was called with a
score of "a to 0 in favor of the Cam
bridge men.
