the public has. that since last Saturday
letters TO their constituents have required
no postage stamps. The ease and secTe-

of their new privilege, and il will not
be many days before they Will stop buy

In which the ranking privileges is re-

Hints to the Housekeeper.

When you know the best article. and
desire to use it. don't let those interested
in selling you something else bluff
you. Many of our housekeepers use the
Royal Baking Powder. and know how
very much superior are the bread. bis
cult and cakes it makes. There are
many baking powders made from alum.
which cost but three cents a pound to
produce. but which are sold at about the
same price as the Royal. which is a
cream of tartar powder composed only Of
the most highly refined ingredients.
There is great inducement TO push the
sale Of the impure articles, because of
the great profit in them. Consumers
are entitled to the best their money will
buy. and should insist upon having the
Royal when they ask for it.

Our Reputod Woalta.

4 French student u finance named
Professor Francois, has written an eN,
haustive article for the Monde Modcrne
of Paris, on the wealth of nations.
His conclusion is that the United
State lis the richest country on the
habitahle globe. He places the wealth
OF this country at 3i3,oooooo,ooo francs;
England next, with 26o,oo0.0ao,ooo
francs; France third. with 225,oo0,o1o0o0
francs; Germany fourth, with l6l,oco,ooo,.
COO francs; Russia fifth. with 12I, I,ooo.ooo,
600 francs; Austria Hungary. sixth,
with S2,o0o,ooo,ooo. francs; aud all the
rest combined do not equal the United
States.
And yet these United States of Amer.
lea are submitting today to the dicta.
ton of Great Britain upon their tinau.
ciai and tariff policies. 1t is time that
Americans asserted themselves upon
these points.
Glass legislation in favor of tho East
ern fringe OF our country has regulated
national affairs too long already. The
great producing and consuming and
borrowing interior will have its say for
a time now--Dcnvor Times.

Maintaining the Library.

In these days when there is hardly
money enough in the state treasury TO
pay current expenses it is refreshing to
run Across an oldtashioned bill. The
Tenth General Assembly passed bill
appropriating Sl,CoO to maintain" the
state library. in addition to the regular
appropriation made for this department.
Yesterday the auditor was asked to pay
n bill of 500 for Bancrott's History OF
the United States, purchased by the
library 10 years ago. The auditor had
not the heart to say he would not pay
the bill, but promised to think about it.
He thinks the bill was outiawed four
years ago at least, and that anyhow
somebody else has the history. The
$1,000 appropriation bill expressly
provides that it must be used to main
tain" the library. The only maintenance
the library has so far required has been
the services of a librarian, and as this
o ficial is paid out of the fund set apart
for the superintendent of public instruc
ton it is not clear 10 the auditor where
the other maintaining can come in.
unless in the purchase OF books. As
the treasury funds are all below low.
water mark and appropriations being
closely trimmed, none OF this $1,000 may
ever be paid out by the auditor.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
Friend OF the Juror.

Judge Caldwell OF the United Sites
Circuit court. who presided at the sit
, ting OF the Federal court in Cheyenne
last week. made a radical change in the
method OF handling jHrits. A; the con
clusion Of the charge to the jury in Il
case under trial, the clerk was ADM. is
tering the usual oath to the buiiff: You
do soemnly swear that you will. to the
utmost OF your ability. keep every per-
son sworn in this jury together. in some
private and convenient place. without
meat or drink, except water" when he
was suddenly interrupted by Judge
Caldwell. who said: MIR. Clerk, do not
administer that oath" And. turning
to the jury. he continued: Gentlemen,
/ killed man once by having that oath
carried out. You heard what the balif
was TO do with you; keep you without
meat or drink. or any thing else. do
not follow that practice. The duty that
jurors are called upon TO perform in the
administration OF justice is as import
ant as that OF the judges. They ought
10 be treated with that consideration and
respect due to men engaged in discharg-
ing important official duties. The way
to enable jurors 10 discharge their du-
ties intelligently is to afford them every
facility for delibcrating on the issues
submitted TO them under conditions Of
mind and body that will evoke their cool
dclibera:ion and best judgment. Starv
ing. freezing. deprivation of sleep and
denial OF all comforts is not the best
mode OF doing this.
The old methods Of treating jurors
was cruel. barbarous and inhuman. II
was degrading TO them and TO the ad
ministration OF justice. There is no
reason why jurors should not be
treated as respectfully nationally while
determining the Issues in Il case as the
judges. You may go to your room, and
il you agree upon verdict before sup
per time the court will receive it. II
you are not able TO agree. upon 4 verdict
before supper time you will adjourn and
70 TO your supper. You can return az
ter supper and deliberate as long or as
short time as you like. and you may
continue to adjourn for your meals and

Rocky FoRD. Colo. July 23.-Two
hundred feet of the Rocky Ford bridge
has been washed out by the high water
and it is now impassable. Parties here
from Ordway and north of the river
cannot get home. and are waiting for
the river to recede. We have had no

days.
All communications east and west are
cut off. Senator G. W. Swink just
came in from the east and says that the
Tcmpas creek bridge is washed out and
that he had to walk that distance to
get home. The water is still rising.
