THE agents of the international gold
trust are getting in shape to force Nc
<inley to abandon his proposition to
call congress together in extra ordinary
session. If they should fail in that eff
fort, however, they will be ready to drain
the treasury and force more bond issues,
if when called together, congress refuses
to issue bonds to be used in retiring
the greenbacks and treasury notes. The
gold trust is after bonds, and 1t is going
to have bonds unless McKinley's secre-
tary Of the treasury abandons the policy
adopted by Harrisons secretary, Mr..
Foster, and scrupulously carried out by
Carlisle at the command of Mr.. Cleve-
land. The Understanding bonded debt
of this government is bound to be enor-
mously increased or the government
must exercise the right it has under the
law to redeem coin obligations when
presented for redemption in either gold
or silver. -.

1t is language and manners that mark
the aristocratic rather than dress. The
person of gentle birth has the same po-
lite manner at all times, while the spu-
rious aristocrat puts off and takes. on
the suaye manner, as occasion may de-
mand. The suddenly rich people are
very particular about dress and outside
appearances They have skilled Wallets
who keep them in proper shape The So
ciety writer in the New York World tells
of Mrs. Gould coming down into the
parlor dressed for the opera, but with
her bedroom slippers on. This indicates
nothing but the carelessness of her maid.

Niagara's great power yesterday turned
the wheels Of the National Electrical ex-
position, After months OF preparation
the wonderful force of the most tire D..

GRATED in tho form Of electricity, md
when Governor Morton touched the key,
formally starting the machinery, cannon
in London, England, San Francisco, ST..
Paul, Now Orleans and Augusta, Maine,
were discharged.
Tho chaining OF the Niagara will be
recognized as the mechanical triumph
Of the age, and it will revolutionize con
ditions as they now exist. The fact that
nature has held for centuries the power
which, converted into electricity, will
solve many mechanical and financial
question Of tho time, Is only another
proof OF the peculiar provisions for mans
progress.
This tremendous nchievment, celebrai.
ed yesterday with pomp and ceremony,
holds an Important lesson for Colorado.
All the mountain streams, rushing from

when sUme outside syndicate will take
advantage Of this great opportunity now
neglected by the people, who are made
