Prosperity of a Kind.

There was talk during the summer
months of the return of prosperityi the
hopeful tone" Of the stock markets
was often mentioned. we were all told
that confidence was about to be fully
restored.
There was, indeed, a run of stock
gambling. Most of 1t had as little merit
as did the mad speculation in wheat
on the Chicago board of trade-the per-
centage of people who are easily tempt-
ed to take a turn at the market is
always large. Speculation has had a
brisk season, In Europe as well as in
this country. with the results that usu-
ally attend headlong gambling. London
has put millions into wildcat opera
tions in Africa. The fever caught Par
Is and had such a run that the Roth
schilds had to put out many millions to
check things. just as the Bank of En-
gland stayed a panic about five years
ago when the Barings failed for $780,
900 as the result of crazy operations
in South America.
Money centers in this country have
recently gone through a siege of stock
gambling. Philadelphia took a turn at
It in electric light, storage and other
lines Of stocks known as the local
Kaffirs." with the result that there
has been a loss-so the Philadelphia
Times igures-of not less than $780,
100000 within a few weeks.
These are the fruits of the prosper
ity"that was so wildly advertised dur
ing the summer.
Yet they keep on saying that the
financial cranks are the men who urge
that the return of prosperity awaits
the restoration OF silver. The country
is moving into another lean winter.

He Is Goinu to CHICAGO.

william T. Stead wrote a book en-
titled IF Christ Came to Chicago"
which aroused a good deal of comment
Schlatter. the new messiah. says he is
actually going to Chicago. He an
nounces that he will be there Nov. 80,
and win hold forth several months in
that city of sin. According to the Chica-
go Chronicle Schlatter wrote to a friend
In that city that he had received in
structions from the Father" to go to
Chicago and would do so provided the
friend sent him railroad transporta-
ton. A ticket was forwarded to him.
but he subsequently returned 1t, say
ing that he had received transporta-
ton from another source.
The letter Schlatter writes shows
that he has not been carefully trained
In capitalization. The only words he
capitalizes are Dear and Denver"
In many places in his letter he refers
to the father" and says he makes no
move without instructions from him.
but he writes father invariably with
a small 4. and he spells ticket without
a c. In his letter the messiah says
that he will treat in private for two
weeks and will then give public dem
onstrations of his healing powers for
three months.
The new messiah will doubtless find
many followers in Chicago as he can in
any other city he chooses to visit.
There is a large percentage of the peo-
pie of the world who are always look
ing for something miraculous and SUI
pernatural, and are particularly on the
lookout for a new healing fad. That is
why Spiritualism. Christian Science.
the Faith Cure. hypnotism and kindred
movements find so many ready follow
ers, and why ouack doctors. Chinese
healers and fakirs generally do so well.
Schlatter has the additional advantage
of charging nothing for his healing. 1t
Is reasonable to conclude from this
that he is either taking his pay in the
newspaper advertising he is receiving
all over the country. and will reap his
harvest later. or else he 10 crazy.

He's Alive and BUSY.

The sultan is not dead-there was
no warrant for the report that he had
been poisoned. On the contrary, the
sultan appears to be very much alive
and the news relating to his work is in
the nature of assurance that peace
will be maintained within his domains
There was a good deal OF sulking in
Constantinople when the powers told
the porte what 1t must do. 1t was
everywhere believed. however. that
the sultan would have to yield-there
proves to be no alternative for him.
On the part of Russia. Germany and
England, the scheme now Is to afford
TO the sultan every possible opportun-
ity to carry out his pledges-to that
end the powers will use every effort
to expedite the restoration OF order in
the provinces. Thus the dismember-
ment Of Turkey is again postponed
That is a work which the powers want
to undertake but which. nevertheless,
they dread. It means a momentous

The Extra-Session Talk.

Evidently somebody not on intimate
terms with Governor Richards Is bent
on booming this state into an extra
session OF the legislature-the COVER
nors views and his intentions are seri-
ously misrepresented. as will be seen
from the reading of an interview print
ed this morning. In the background
are certain members Of the legislature
who want another crack at II In Hell
ena.
Governor Richards stands pat; that
his views of the situation are shared
by the very large majority Of the peo-
Pile Of the state. there is no question.
Respecting the codes. 1t is as he says
an extra session could tinker them up
but. before the work OF the session was
fairly ended. there would be more re-
pairs to make; the depths of blunder-
ing in the codes have not yet been
sounded.
OF course. 1t may yet develop that
the necessity for an extra session Is
upon the state. But there is no reason
why this necessity should be anticipat-
ed with the situation as 1t stands to-
day; the state is all right up to the
present time. The governor says that
he has not been specially urged to call
a session. but that. on the other hand.
he has heard protests from the other
side.
We believe II to be true that the
state would run a good deal OF risk
were the work Of fixing up the codes
entrusted to the legislature Of last
winter. 1t must be that the people can
go to the polls and send better men
to the legislature, with especial refer
ence to the business of putting the
codes In shape.

In the Victorian State forest. on the

Land from the rest Of the Australian col

huge trees that had fallen was found, by
actual measurement with a tape. to be
l3s feet from the roots to where the
trunk had been broken on by the fall,
and at that point the tree was three feet

near Acosta, Wash. measured 467 feet In
height and 20 feet in circumference. DR..
James gives some interesting particulars
Of these gum trees. The eucalyptus glob-
ulus grew 40 feet high in four years IN

Trees of the same species in Guatemala
grew 120 feet in u years, and had a stem
diameter of nine feet. Other species also
attain enormous sizes-eucalyptus diver
sicolor is known to grow 400 feet high.
and trees have been measured 300 feet
long without a branch. Boards IL feet
wide can frequently be obtained. In 1860
a monster petrified tree was found in Ba-
ker county, Oregon. 1t was just 666 feet
long and at its butt was quite so feet In
diameter. Amber-like beads of petrified
gum adhered to the sides of the trunk
for a distance of 100 feet or more.

Debs on Silver.

win care a snap for his opinions or his
Judgment In a recent interview he
says that the free coinage Of silver is
no real issue. because II would change
nothing in this damnable Industrial
system that makes slaves Of the great

The opinion which has been steadily
growing during the past year that
Debs II not a man OF good sound judg-
ment seems established now beyond a
doubt. The reason which he gives for
the free coinage of silver being no

issue to be the industrial system. That

That Nhiskey Boycott.

Some Of the NEWSPAPERS Of the state
and of the East are. either maliciously
or unwittingiy. misinterpreting q re-
cent action OF certain Butte democrats
Some newspapers have represented
them as boycotting whiskey since the
fall elections. This is not a correct
statement of the position of the demo-
Gratis of Butte. and undoubtedly does
them a serious Injustice. The demo-
Gratis of Butte have not entirely
stopped the use Of whiskey as a bev-
erage. but they have placed a boycott
on Kentucky whiskey and have re-
fused to drink any of the Kentucky
distilled product until such time as the
state shall be restored to the demo-
cratic column.
1t is evident that there are old-time
democrats in Kentucky who feel just
as badly over the matter as do the
democrats of Montana. The Mount
Olivet, Kentucky. Tmes-Democrat, de-
livers the following expressive COM
ment: t

ruined forthwith. Furthermore any
man who declares that the great ma
jority'' of the people of this country
are slaves" gives unmistakable evil
dence of being a rabid. unthinking
demagogue. a foe to America, a per-
haps unintentional but not the less a
damaging enemy to labors cause. and
a man who might rather be in jail
than out of 1t. II iabor's cause could
only rid itself of such unreasoning. un-
thinking. narrow-minded and senseless
advocates as Debs. 1t could win every
thing 1t is lighting for In a very few
years.
How can labor strike a harder blow
at the plutocracy which 1t aims to de-
throne than by overthrowing mono
metallism and reestablishing the
money of the poor man on a par with
gold? Every enemy labor has is ranged
on the side Of the goldbugs. every
friend labor has is a bimetallist. the
success of the cause of silver win do
more for the Door than for any other
class. and the poorer a man is the
more will the free coinage of silver
benefit him. There was never in the
history of this country a more direct
issue between the rich and the poor,
between plutocracy and industry, than
the present contest between monomet-
allism and bimetallism. II the battle
for silver is not the battle Of the poor
man It is not the battle OF anyone The
establishment Of silver will do more
to better the condition of the work
ingmen generally of the United States
than all the strikes and boycotts and
labor agitation of the next quarter Of
a century Will be able to accomplish
II Debs really wants to improve the
Industrial situation he should throw
his Influence with the silver cause.
The present Industrial system cannot
be changed or improved while mono
metallism prevails in this country
that much is certain. No measures that
could be taken for the amelioration OF
the condition of the laboring men can
benefit the laboring men an iota while
a gold standard rules. Every true
friend Of labor who thoroughly under
stands the situation is enlisted In the
fight for silver. because he knows that
a victory for silver is a victory for la
Dor, a victory for the people generally
as against the money interests.

There are prospects of a long-contin-

ture. The republicans and democrats
are evenly divided, with two populists
holding the balance of power. The pop

vote for Blackburn for United States
senator. but the democrats are not
united on him, and there seems to be
no one on whom the silver and gold
democrats can agree. In the republi-

the silver men. so there is no hope of a
