Frank James, whose name was once
spoken in fear and trembling, has long
since reformed. He has many friends In
this county, who, while they regret his
past life, were anxious to see him begin
q life of peace with all mankind. We
print below an interview, found in the
Post-D Dispatch, with the once notorious
desperate. 1t will be interesting to
many INTELLIaENcKR' readers. who
know him:
'sWhy Is it, he asked, 'that everyone

THAT Frank James Is not q

HavfI y6erced the government into
making the bonded obligations payable
in coin, attention was then turned to
the circulating medium, OIL money, and
for twenty years the republican party
%endeavored to stop the coinage of silver.
Their efforts in this direction were
denounced, in the very language of the
present secretary of the treasury, who
has since lent all the influence of his
present position to accomplish what he
before characterized as s'the most
gigantic conspiracy of modern times"
This opposition was shared by every
democrat in public life, and every
democratic newspaper except in the
east. Through one Of the most heroic
contests of modern times, the demo-
Gratis defeated the characterization of
silver; but, in 1898, under the influ-
enc OF the president, a minority of the
democrats, with the support of the
republican party, accomplished that
which the republican party had strlven
for twenty years to do. Silver wss
demonetized, and now we have IN the
Carlisle s'plan" the last step to put the
country on a gold basis.
But the most serious objection to the
"plan' is the very feature which its
author claims as its strongest recon-
m~endation. We are told that it would
give us san elastic currency" n that
will increase and decrease With the
demands of the country. 1t Is hard
indeed to believe that o man occupying
Mr.. Carlisle's position would claim that
an elastic currency was a desirable
commodity. 1t is o new idea In the
business world, for it has heretofore
ever been regarded that a changing or
fl~uctuating currency, first increasing
and then diminishing, either in value
or amount, was destructive Of all
business enterprise, and was q thing
to be avoided at all hazards. A cur
rency, so regulated, as while subject to
no sudden increase or diminution, but
that by fixed laws gradually expands
or grows, with population and trade,
is to be desired. A system which does
not so provide for its gradual expansion
in a growing country like ours, is
defective. And here the coinage of
silver furnished such gradual in GREASE
/. But suppose that the people had 1t
in their own power (nSt in the hands
of banking oorporations) to suddenly
increase or diminish the volume of

MAKING PROGRESS.

The recent speech in the reichstag of
Count Posadowsky, secretary of the i'm
perial treasury, is held to foreshadow the
calling of another conference to consider
the plan of fixing the price of silver by
International agreement and of issuing
International silver certificates. Follow
ing close upon this information comes
the announcement of an international
bimetallic conference at the Mansion
house, London, in which Mr.. Balfour, tho
Conservative leader in the house of COM
mons, and Hon. William Lidderdale, for
merly governor of the Bank of England,
will take prominent part. Thus the
movement is steadily growing abroad,
and we new predict that before Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration closes the west will
find that the subject of bimetallism has
made more real progress during his ad
minlstration as result of his policy,
tedious to some of us, than at any period
of time in history. Such reforms are
necessarily slow, but this is one that GER
tainly is making marked progress.

the CDCEiTj DISTRICT.

Tho future of the mining camp called
Cochiti, which is situated in the northern
part Of New Mexico, seems to depend upon
whether the mines are within the limits oil
a valid Mexican or Spanish grant. If they
are found to be within the limits of q
grant, little or no development will be
done. But if it shall turn out that the land
is ject to location under the mining
laws, the camp will boom, and it may be
that the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
will be extended from spanola.-Denvel
Republican.
These mines are certainly not "withir
the limits of any valid Mexican or Span
ish grant," The isituation, is, however
far from pleasant to contemplate; not 81
much so from any fear of molestation o
the miners on the ground, bona fide hold
ers of mineral locations, nor any question
arising in the minds of those who hav,
taken the pains to investigate the bject
but from the publication abroad of sucl
indefinite paragraphs as that abov,

CONSISTENCY is not one of the vrtuet

salary of such members as do not attend
the Republicans oppose it, Representa-
