The American Bankers association

THE American Bankers association is
about to solve to certain extent the
problem of restoring public confidence.
This association contemplates creating
what they call guarantee fund to
which every national bank in the
United States will be subscriber, and
the association will be responsible for
the circulation of any insolvent bank.
The large number of bank failures
in the summer of 1893 caused woful
lack of confidence in these institutions by
the public and consequent withdrawal
of deposits from circulation, and the
banks find it necessary to regain this
confidence by making their customers
more secure. This is eminently right
and business like, but the movement
should also be backed up by the govern
ment as additional security. There is
no reason why the government should
not be responsible for every dollar de-
posted in national bank, and in turn
let the government hold the stockholders
of the bank accountable. Such course
would cause money to be withdrawn
from its hiding places in safety deposit
boxes, tin boxes, old clothes, clocks and
the like and put in circulation. Then
the question Of confidence would be set
tied.

CLOUDS ON THE HORIZON.
The State Constitution and the Terms
of District Judges.
Elwell, Seaver ct al on the Wrong
Trail.

A TEMPEST in teapot has been raised
in certain quarters over what is claimed
to be flaw in the constitution of the
state relating to the term of office of
district judges. The alleged ambiguous
language Of sections u and 10 of article
X1 OF the constitution are the cause.
Section IL is asfollows:
1.-THE state will be divided into judi
cia districts, in each of which there
shall be elected one judge OF the district
court therein. whose term of office shall
be six years.
Section 10 simply provides that the
terms of all the judges elected in the
several districts throughout the state
shall expire on the same day.
1t is contended that as Judge Elwell
was elected in 1891, and Judge Voorhees,
in 1893, neither of them has served his
prescribed six years, and hence Elwell
would have yet three years to serve and
Voorhees, five years, which would leave
N. Walter Dixon out in the cold al.
together and he would have gone
through the late unexamplsd campaign
for nothing.
But it is patent that section 15 will
settle the matter as it was clearly the
intention Of the trainers of the con.
stitution to make 1894 the year in which
the terms Of all the district judges
would expire.
However. the question is now before
the supreme court in Denver, brought
up by hitch in the Denver district,
and it is needless to say that Judge
Elwell, George Seaver and their little
circle Of friends are clinging with great
tenacity to this last ray Of hope.
Later. Judge Wells has decided that
the constitution is all right and that
the judges who were defeated for re-
election must go. Good.

Up in the northwest, in the widest
portion of Colorado, hundred miles
off the railroad is the hunters paradise
of the West. In this wild and rocky
region over parts of which human foot
has never trod. great herds OF elk. deer
and antelope numbering up in the
thousands abound, and there the savage
mountain lion and still more savage
grizzly bear roam the forests and hold
possession OF the canons. But plentiful
as is the game at present it must be
protected from the wanton sport OF the
huntsman, or the day will soon come
when it will disappear as did the once
numerous buffalo. Let Colorado look
out for the preservation Of it's wild game

IT is to be sincerely hoped that the
next congress will see the Importance
of favorable legislation on the money
question, and particularly as regards
silver. Unless it be done it is difficult
to see where permanent good times
can come in and both the old parties
would be held accountable. In such
an event it would not be at all surpris-
ing il a brand new party composed of
the West and South were to spring up
and capture the next presidency. A
new party with money as the single
plank in its platform could do wonders.

THERE are ugly rumors atioat to the
effect that upon the Inauguration of
Governor McIntire all the Bull Hill
miners who took part in the Cripple
Creek troubles will be promptly arrested
by the Ell Paso county authorities and
brought to Justice. 1t is said that every
man who was perniciously active in
standing off Sheriff Bowers and his army
is spotted and that his every movement
is being watched by detectives who will
keep his whereabouts in view until the
proper hour arrives. For the good of
Cripple Creek and Colorado generally it
is to be hoped that fresh trouble will
not be rakcd up. AS Sheriff Bowers did
not have the courage toact at the proper
time he should be quiet now.

CAMPAIGN ECHOES
And the Chieftain's Arguments are as
Hollow as its Echoes.
An Attempt to Make Walpole out a
Great Leader.

The Chieftain never has candidate
for future office. 1t is too negative for
that. And were its policy not so well
known one would think from its efforts
of late that it is grooming n. S. Walpole
for office-perhaps for mayor next spring
Anyhow the Chieftain is trying hard to
make it appear that Walpole is a great
leader and that his political genius
burst forth in several places in the late
campaign, and that to his late ad-
ministrative ability is largely due the
success of the republican ticket.
Now that sort of talk only makes
intelligent republicans smile, for they
know that the republican party in
Pueblo county won in spite Of Walpole
rather than because he was chairman of
the central committee, and his political
genius, il he has any, was carefully con
cealed with himself all through the
campaign in the solitude of his private
office in the Board of Trade building.
Never was there so little enthusiasm
shown about the republican head
quarters. and never did each individual
member of the party feel called on to
such an extent of relying upon his own
individual self in doing what he could
to help out the cause. The choosing of
Walpolc for chairman was great
blunder, and especially after it became
fully known that he played an important
part in the corrupt proceedings of the
republican primaries and convention,
and his election as chairman was taken
as an insult by large numbers of re
publicans who could not consult with
such man during the campaign.
Had more popular leader been
chosen it is very likely that the populist
vote in Pueblo county would have been
diminished instead of increased. In
spite OF the fact that the democratic
party evaporated and went largely into
the republican ranks, and in spite, too,
of the well known fact that the greater
proportion OF the women vote went to
the republicans, the populists gained in
the last year over five per cent on the
republicans. A fair comparison of the
vote for any two candidates OF year
ago with that of the last election will
show this to be true
A fair medium of test would be the
vote of Henderson, rep, year ago,
2,S05, and Montgomery, pop, 2,190,
making Montgomery's vote 7e per cent
of Henderson's; and for the election OF
7 inst. take Kearney, rep, 4,493, and
Coe, pop, 1876, being SO per cent OF
Kearney's, or gain OF eight per cent.
Readers will remember that year ago
Henderson and Montgomery were con-
testants for the Office of county clerk,
and that this year Kearney and Coe
we're rivals for the state representative
ship.
So in spite of all the odds in his favor,
the aid OF the democrats and the women,
and the determination of each in
dividual republican to leave nothing
undone to bring about the defeat of the
populists, Walpole allowed the enemy
to make gain of eight per cent in one
year.
Like the Irishmans echo the Chief
tain's Campaign echoes are not true
reflections of the first sound.

colored gemmen ostensibly in the in

Il. w. Robinson, and in giving a write
up of the city in the last issue took
occasion to pay homage to the steel
works superintendent. The Times said:
"It is also great manufacturing CEN

Bessemer steel works conducted by Mr..
Robinson, one of the best men the sun

works, and are receiving salaries rang
