ers. SaloOnists, and Prize
Fighters.

Denver, COL, Dec. 16-''If there is
one place on the face of the earth that
deserved to be wiped out of existence
that place is Chicago" said John Burns
today as he reviewed his remarks in
Broadway theater. II have no tolera-
tion for such corruption as saw ther
on all sides. Men, women and children
seemed imbued with the filth Of poll
tics, and there is no attempt to purify
the moral atmosphere. Corruption is
on every side, and no one seem to take
notice of the most fragrant abuse of
ordinary decency. Then the social
strata is undermined with all that is
bad. AS walked through the Italian
quarter the sights brought tears to my
eyes. Such misery and wretchedness
Is unparalleled in the darkest part of
London. Then the city has more pros
tltutes than the modern Babylon from
which l come and which is said to be
the worst city of the world.
II repeat that Chicago is pocket
edition of hell, and if it is not then
hell is a pocket edition of Chicago.
Look at the city hall in Chicago he
added, filled with brothel-keepers rs,
saloon keepers and prize-fighters. They
are ready to barter the rights of citi-
zens for song and yet you depend on
them to give you honest administra-
tlOn. Such is the contradictions of
American politics. You elect people

President Roth made speech de-

about midnight fire was discovered
under the dormitory where the presi-

The Cost of Gold and Silver.

But the difficulty with the Tribune
y and those who stand with it is that
they discuss silver. The value of gold
and silver depends upon supply and
demand-not upon cost of production.
Cost Of production is only material as
it affects supply. and cost of produc-
tion does not affect the supply of the
precious metals as it does other ar
ticles, because production follows find
ing and finding is largely by chance
1t is true that improved machinery
makes it possible to produce silver
from particular mine at less cost
than it could be done % or 80 years
ago, but the cost Of prod ucirg gold has
also fallen. Yet in spite OF the i'm
proved machinery and lessened cost
OF production the purchasing power of
gold has risen because the supply has
not increased as rapidly as the de-
mand. How is it with silver? Is the
low bullion price of silver due to i'm
proved machinery which has lessened
the cost of production? Not at all.
The demand for silver for coinage has
been destroyed bv legislation hostile
to silver just as effectually as the de.
mand for horses was destroyed by the
introd uction of electricity and BIZ
cycles. The same legislation which
lessened the demand for silver for coin
age purposes increased the demand for
gold.-.W. J. Bryan in Omaha World

Rev. Myron w. Reed was induced to
deliver an address. He reviewed the
great rise of millionaires during his
lifetime. The public Domain is now
all gone, so that the people cannot go
East, West, North or South. They
can only go up or down. He discussed
the tramp question. He announced
his views Of a new nation and a better
chance for the laboring man. He de-
Tended Gov. Waite, and declared that
he had done what no other governor
of any state had done. He called out
the militia in defense of the poor.
The child labor is creeping over the
land. He believed that he was the on
ly minister out of the seventy-two in
Denver to be honored by an invita-
tion. He wanted to assist in making
history that our children will be
pleased to read. Every political que s.
tion is a social question, and every So
cial question is a religious one.

Proportional Representation.

The Outlook, high-class religious
but not denomina tional, weekly paper
of New York, offers some interesting
reflections upon the enormous Repub-
lican majority elected to the Fifty.
fourth congress. 1t very properly de-
scribes the majority as not only ex-
ceeding what the Republican man
ayers expected, but even what they
said they expected" The Outlook
goes on to point out that great diff
ference exists between majorities and
votes. 'In 1892" it says, vast minor
ity consisting of Republican voters
was unrepresented; in 1894 Demo
cratic minority almost as great is un-
represented. Were minorities repre-
sented with mathematical exactness
the present house of representatives
would stand:
Rep. DEM Peo. pro
1913 tnow 1871 1854 [2lsl 81 TIi1 [0i
And in the newly elected house the
parties would stand:
165 [now probably a45I 135 [lool Al (lI] ri
For such a change no one would be
UMPIRE pared, and the fact that there is
still in this country, in this year of
business depression and Of Democratic
failure to perform pledges, Democrat
&c vote but One-tifth less than the Re
publican proves than another election
may, perhaps, witness another over
turn"
The representation of the minority
for which the Outlook by inference
pleads is to be accomplished with
mathematical exactness" only by the
employmento of the system of proper
tlonai represen tation-a reform to
which, singularly enough, both old
parties are Indifferent and which is
urged only by the newer political Or
CARNATIONS Of the Populists. Yet it
is reform which contributes always
to the advantage of the minority par
ty or parties, and as either Democrats
or republicans must always be in the
minority it would seem that all par
ties might wisely unite in urging it.
The Outlook has shown how much
more equitable the political divisions
in the house would have been had pre-
portion representation been in force
throughout the United States. In the
'single tax department." of the Sun
day Times a writer has shown what
effect it would have had upon the rep
lesentation of Cook county in cen

Had the system OF PROPORTIONAL repre-

nave been three Republicans, three

In 'such a system there is more Of
Justice to the voters and of service to
the state. It would do away with the
feeling OF the members of minority
party that political action on their
part is useless, and make them better
citizens. 1t would toa great extent
prevent such overWhel ming majorities
as to the Democrats have in this
house and the Republicans will have

The editor of THE HERALD was
in Campton on Monday, and in a
conversation with Samp b. Smith
about railroads, that gentleman
called our attention to the FEAST
bility of railroad from Lumber
Point, in Lee county, by way of
Campton and Hazel Green to the
Caney coal fields in Morgan county.
This road would be practically an
extension of the Richmond, Mich
olasville, Irvine and Beattyville
road, now in operation to Irvine,
and would give the people of this
section an outlet for their coal and
produce. The route, as outlined
by Mr.. Smith, is as follows: Be
ginning at the mouth Of Walkers
creek, lat the Beattyville Junction.
thence up the north fork of the
Kentucky river to the mouth of
Lower Devils creek, thence up Dew
lis creek to the mouth of Meadow
branch, thence up said branch a
direct line to Campton, thence by
way of Laurel ten miles to Hazel
Green, thence to the camel coal
fields in Morgan county. The On
tire Inc can be- built without n
tunnel, o distance of'B5 miles, rnn-
ming through fine forest and tim
Der, and the entire country under
laid with the finest beds of peacock

Joe Kendall's Race.

The fact that Mr.. Kendall's ma
iority over Hopkins is about 1000
less than Judge Beckner's majority
over Bosley, has led many into the
mistaken idea that Kendall ran n
less creditable race than Beckner
Such is not the case. Beckncr's
greatest majority is due solely to
the fact that Bosley, his opponent,
ran behind his ticket, and Hopkins,
Kendall's opponent, ran ahead of
the ticket. Mr.. Kendall received
GA votes more than Beckner, and
Hopkins received 36l votes moro
than Beckner; showing that had

Cause Of Business Failures.

Among many cases of failure in
business none is more common thar
the impotence of the individuals.
The average man, coming to years
of discretion, after working for
salary, feels able to manage for
himself, and ombarks in a venture
of one kind or another with more
or less capital. He is sanguine of
success or he certainly would not
risk his time and money, but it is
seldom he realizes the length of
the journey before he can feel GER
tain that he has an established con-
nection. Some men acknowledge
to themselves that there are such
things as bad debts, dull seasons
and losses of all sorts to be faced,
but even these men do not realize
the time that must elapse before a
business advertises itself, as some
may say, or Brings in money solely
by reason of its being we'll con-
Quoted.
Through not considering how
long it takes to make business,
many get discouraged and sell out
at loss, or fail wholly, which if
they had been satisfied with the
day of small things they might
have lived to see them grow larger,
Tho hare and tortoise Of Aesop's
fable today exists in trade, and the
business hare is just as confident
of his ability to make a trade in n
i day as his congener was of outstrip-
ping the hard-shelled conservative
who went slower, but got there first
in the sequel; for it is not so much
brilliancy that is wanted as sturdy
sticking TO trade through thick and
thin. 1t matters not what calling,
or what line, qualities must be
manifested and ordinary men take
up in any of them, certain business
faculties will succeed with perse-
verance, where the erratic, can't
wait man misses every time.
