ATcHIsoN, Aug. I'm converse
ton last evening about the financial
situation, ex-senator John j. Ingalls,
said:
"This day is balmy and sunshiny
in comparison with the clouds and
storms Just ahead of us. The ulti-
mate result will be redistribution
of the assets of the country. The
millionaire of to-day will occupy
the hut of the pauper, and the pau
per will, in the near future, ride in
the chariot of the millionaire. Col.
orado and the other mineral states
should be blotted out as states, and
added to the great American desert,
from which they were taken. The
devastation of the yellow fever in
the South was not nearly so disas-
trous as the situation in Colorado,
produced by the closing of the
mines. Thousands of people are
walking the streets of Denver. Like
the lowly Nagarene, foxes have holes
and birds of the air have nests, but
the Colorado tramp hath not where
to lay his head. On every street
corner in Denver goes up the piteous
cry for bread on Wall street the
piteous cry goes up for gold. When
these two panicky conditions come
together in the great Mississippi
valley, chaos and anarchy will
follow"

The Colorado Plan.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal.
The plan referred to in the dis
patches yesterday, in the opinion of
the Colorado attorney general, is, in
brief, this: The state to authorize
or issue certificates on the deposit
of pure bullion silver in the state
depository as security. Thus, a
man takes his ore to a smelter and
has it refined to pure silver. He
takes this pure metal to the state
depository, and for each ounce, gets
a certificate. There is more pure
silver behind such certificate than
is behind a United States treasury
certificate, by the difference between
the pure metal and the coined alloy.
The idea and plan is being widely
considered in Colorado, and is find
ing favor with the people. 1t Is a
plan suggested by D. M. Sells, and
in seven days, has the endorsement
as feasible in law of the attorney
general. The American people can't
be bulldozed.

they may again be placed on the

to stop my thinking-machine, and it
would run on, about thus: If you
can't devise some means to stop the

vice, and so filling our jails and

while our girls and women are in

LIABILITY FOR PAUPERS.
Re suit of a Contest Between Stonington
 and North StOnington.

Re suit of a Contest Between Stonington
 and North Stonington.
 An irsue between North Stonington and the town of Stonington has been a cause of much contention between the selectmen of the two towns. It has been settled by the payment of $3 per week, the legal allowance.
 Benjamin Nye, a resident of the town of Stonington, received dangerous in iuries by being run over by a heavily loaded team, which crushed his leg and ankle. The selectmen of the town of North Stonington were obliged to fur nish medical attendance, a nurse with board, medicines, etc. The bills, neces- sarily large, were not objected to on the grounds of extravaganza, but were con- sidered by the Stonington board of se- lectmen in joint session "less than if he had been in their own town"
 The only objection offered to the pay ment of the bill in full was that the statute limits money to be recovered by one town from another in aid of depend ant persons to $3 per week.
 The best lawyers of the state admit that a revision of the laws should bt made, so that necessary expenses could be recovered of another town, wher such expenses are demanded as an ac of humanity.
