Adam not so Badly of.

When Adam had shaken himself
and looked around him, on the day
of his creation, he induIged in some
thing like the following soliloquy
"Well it doesn't look as if | was
going to have much company to
keep me from growing lonesome, but
there is one thing l can congratu-
late myself upon, and that is L m a
man without past.
81 have no foolish actions to
grieve over, no notes coming due,
no bad character to live down, no
breach of promise suit on my hands,
no loss of lent money to kick myself
about, no credit to make me hide in
the woods, no dun to put off till
next Monday week, no lies to manu-,
tacture to appease an angry wife,
and great many other things |
haven't got to do, and last, and best
of all, I'm in no danger of being run
down and killed by a bicycle ridden
by a womon with boomers. On the
whole, | don't see but that man
without past is pretty well off. "
The only good thing we ever
knew to come out of the Republi-
can party, was those boiling dele
gates at st. Louis, headed by Sena-
tor Teller. They did finally learn
they we're training with a sorry
crowd, and left in disgust.
The fact that the Republican
leaders of Arkansas are following
the Populists around, shows how
hopeless the Republican cause has
grown.

Both We're Amateurs.

ANYONE who has ridden a bicycle
knows the irresistible tendency OF
machine in the hands of beginner
to run directly at any living object IT
meets. This inclination is stronger to-
ward other bicycles than toward any
thing else. The first time the beginner
rides alone in the street his bike in
sists at darting at every other one that
appears, and no exercise of wit or judg-
ment can control it. People who have
no experience laugh at this and say il
is all nonsense, but every person who
ever learened to ride will agree that
the total depravity Of the ordinary BIZ
cycle is beyond comparison with all
other inanimate objects, and that it's
combative instincts are highly devel-
oped The other night, says Wash
ington correspondent, the wife of a
naval officer who was riding alone for
the first time came down a hill in the
soldiers home grounds at brisk pace,
and was congratulating herself upon her
success as rider, when to her horror

McKinley's Chances VIII Dwindle Before
the Convention.


the Convention.
If business men realize the peril of
their interests involved in the election
of such man as Mr.. Mckinley; if they
are conscious that in times like those in
which Mr.. Cleveland came to the res
cue of the country's credit, Mr.. Mckin-
ley will be trying, in the words of his
own Ohio platform, to concoct such
Legislation as will secure the main
tenance of the PARTIES of value of the
two metals" if they will will recall
the bargain which he made with the
free silver men that gave to the country
his tariff act and the panic OF 1896
Mr.. Mckinley will not be nominated.
We are convinced that his strength is
greatly overrated, and that the exer-
else Of common sense at ST. Louis will
scatter his forces and clear the political
atmosphere. There are anti-McKinley
delegates even in the states whose four
delegates at large are instructed to
vote for him. If the real friends of
sound money in the st. Louis conven-
ton will unite against this candidate
who dares not express an opinion on
the most important subject of the cam
paign, his defeat will be assured on the
first ballot. The republican party has
spoken well so far as it has spoken at
all; but its nomination must be the
test of its sincerity, and if the candidate
shall be Mr.. Mckinley, its professions
will be fatty contradicted.-IIarp

the question is whether he has changed

Quay Always in Favor of Taxing the
Many to Enrich the Few.
The Courier-Jouranl some time since
suggested that Mr.. Quay was the typical
republican politician, and as such q
very appropriate candidate for his
party for the presidency. The Pennsyl-
yania convention did not accept this
estimate in so many words, but it de-
scribed Mr.. Quay as one of the party
foremost leaders-.swise in counsel and
brilliant and able in action; at once
the type of the American citizen,
scholar. soldier and statesman"
This estimate is overdrawn. Mr..
Quay is not the typical citizen, or
scholar, or soldier, or statesman. All
those positions are already filled by
dead men, and among the living there
are those who fit them better than Mr..
Quay. The convention should have con-
fined itself to characterizing Mr.. Quay
as the typical republican politician.
His right to that cannot be disputed;
and, after all, this is probably what the
convention meant.
It is the theory of the republican poll
tician that office is private snap. It is
Office to rewarding those who helped to
put him there, not out of gratitude, but
in order that he may get back. The
legislative power of the government, in
his contemplation, is for use in trans
ferring money from the ordinary citi-
zen to certain privileged classes who
have contributed large sums of money
to put the party in power. The process
of the courts must be stopped when a
republican worker is in danger of pun
ishment, and if this be impracticable,
then the pardoning power must be used
to save him from punishment. The
people of this state understand how
that is.
Now, see how well this fits the career
of Mr.. Quay. When he became MEM
Der of the board of pardons, about 1879,
two of his henchmen were arrested for
bribery in connection with an attempt
to put through a 100000 measure to
victed, and the other confessed, but
both were Immediately pardoned by the
influence of Quay. About the same
time Quay and Cashier Walters, of the
state treasury, took S260,000 from the
public vaults and lost it in speculation.
Walters committed suicide and Quay
talked about it, but Don Cameron and
some one else loaned him the money
to replace the sum distracted. so that
he determined to continue his career
as republican politician, "wise in
counsel and brilliant and able in ac-
tion." In 1885 he became state treas
urer, distracted $500, 900 from the treas
ury, invested it so well as to be able
to replace it and make clear profit of
100000. This showed such frilliancy
in action that he was shortly afterward
elected to the United States senate.
There are many other incidents in
Quay's career of similar tenor, all
tending to show that no politician
among his fellow republicans has SO
successfully worked public office for
his own individual benefit and that Of
his aiders and abettors, as he has done.

CoLoRADo's CLIFF RUINS.

Great Future Field for the Explorer
and Scientist.
The cliff ruins of the San Juan and
the Mancos have been the center of at
traction, have been viewed from all
sides, and their wonders have been told
and rctold to the world time and time
again. Scientific men have visited the
region, have penetrated southwest Col
orado, and have considered that section
n place of especial interest, because the
cliff and cave dwellings are probably the
oldest in this strange land, being tho
first built in that mysterious journey
southwark of great but unknown peo-
pie. For 20 years the prospector has
followed the San Juan river and gazed
with careless unconcern upon the rough
and broken walls, so full of interest to
the archaeologist.
But the mind Of the prospector has
no room for curios, and he has no time
for archaeological investigation. He
sees only the glitter of the gold in the
sand, and thinks only of the time when
he shall have made his stake. In No
vcmber, 1892, hundreds of gold hunters
rushed madly into the canyon north OF
the Navajo mountain, travelled 300 miles
over bleak, desert tablelands, suffered
terribly from cold, hunger, and the long,
wearisome journey. In a few days they
had staked off all the available land for
so miles up and down the river, and then
returned home without having obtained
so much as color of gold, and to-day
have nothing to show for it but the
stakes.
It is one of the most wildly pictur-
csque and beautiful regions in the
world. The bleak old Navajo noun
tain rises abruptly and towers like q
grim sentinel over the surrounding
mesas, while in a canyon gorge, more
than 5000 feet below it's base, the Rio
San Juan appears like silver thread.
The canyon is several miles wide, and q
descent can be made to the river only
by a precipitous trail, but as the river
approaches the great Colorado the can
Won becomes more narrow and the wall
more perpendicular, and when it merges
into the grand canyon it is scarcely
more than a deep, dark channel.
A few miles from the Colorado river,
where the canyon is not more than 800
or 1000 feet from wall to wall, and
where the walls are perpendicular and
smooth, on the right wall are the pic
lures of seven warriors with bows drawn
to the last notch, while across the river
on the opposite side are the pictures
OF seven antelope, apparently in full
run to escape the hunters. These pic
lures are well executed and are in thu
most inaccessible places. Evidently the
artist was lowered from ledge, hun
dreds of feet above the picture, and held
suspended while he performed his tedi-
Gus task. There are many places in the
mystic southwest where such paintings
are to be found.-Denver Field and
Eyoy.

A tailor-made girl who carries her
fancy for simplicity even into her own
more elegant gowns, says the New
York Press, is responsible for model
which deserves attention.
The keystone of the costume is silver
gray. And the skirt is sicillienne,

hairs. And the owner finds it a wei

with wash waists, being-as she says
she should think everyone else would
find herself-thoroughly tired of the
inevitable black lower half to the cot
ton waist toilets.
The regular bodice for this gown OF
gray is beautiful affair, such as any
one with good taste might hope to pos
sess. It's fabric is taffeta silk, and the
colors are silvers and bits of black
upon white ground. The narrow from:

white satin.
At the throat is a wide twist of black

Perhaps the oldest touch in the toile;
is the inch belt of royal purple satin
ribbon. 1t is run through length OF
jet passementerie, and sometimes will
be removed to give place to lines OF
crimson or china blue or emphatic pink.
The special concession that your
tailor-made girl makes to the craze for
armfuls of flowers upon hats is in the
use of large quantities of one sort OF
blossom. The other day noticed that
one of these smart creatures wore
brown hat, trimmed only with half

M.kINLEY AND BUSINESS.
The Ohio Napoleon Is Not tho Choice OF
the People.

the People.
Ia opinions of some of the prom
inent London papers on the business
situation and outlook are considered
worth transmitting on this side of the
atlantic from week to week. The opin-
ions transmitted and printed here Mon
day morning were to the effect that
Understanding speculation in
American securities--was stagnant and
would be stagnant until one William Nc
Kinley, of Ohio, should open his "pon-
derous and marble jaws and deliver to
waiting universe his momentous opin-
ion on the money question.
These sapient essayists on business
affairs assume two things: First, that
McKinley's ideas on the silver question
are of the utmost importance to people
who are interested in American securi-
ties; and, second, that Mr.. Mckinley
may be induced any day to speak out
and set the pertubed business mind al
rest.
They are mistaken in both respects.
IT Mckinley were the president-elect a
plain and emphatic declaration from
him, like Cleyeland's strong letter be-
fore his Inauguration in 1885, would be
worth much. But Mckinley is not presi-
dent-elect. He is not even the nominee
of his party, and he may never be. The
$25O,O0O worth of manufactured enthu-
siasm may be completely exhausted in
less than "a hours after the assembling
OF the ST. Louis convention. He is the
logical candidate of his party and it
now looks as though he would be nomi,
mated. But parties sometimes do very
illogical things, especially when they
are founded on the principle of greed
ard not upon any great principle of JUS
tice and humanity. And if he is nom
mated his election is not to BIZ taken for
81 anted. The American people are not
all republicans, and a nomination by
the republican party is by no means
equivalent to an election. The demo
cratic party is still alive, despite the eff
forts of rotten money men to stab it to
death, and its candidates may be elected
next November.
AS to the second point, he knows very
little of American politics who supposes
that Mckinley can be induced to express
an opinion before election. He saw 4
upholding banner on which We're in
scribed his own words: "No one need
be in any doubt about what the repub-
ican party stands for. It stands now,
as ever, for honest money and a chance
to earn it by honest toll" Then ''as his
eyes wandered to the spread eagle in
the background he smiled in approval
and said: That's business
The spnead eagle in the background
is copied from the silver dollar. 1t
wears a shield for dickey and spreads
not only its wings but it's beak as it
yelIs: I'm worth so cents; in God we
trust for the other 5O.'
THAT'S business and it is all the
business that can be got from Mckinley
before election. The banner with the
meaningless inscription and the bird
with the significant screech, perched
upon Rocky mountain crest, will have
to serve for the enlightenment of the
business world as to McKinley's opinion
oa the silver question.-Chicago Chron-
icle.
