FINGER RINGS.

During tic l4th century, in France

statues OF the saints and Virgin Mary

Pilgrim rings were formerly sold at
every noted shrine In Christendom.
They were purchased by pilgrims pre-

ed as evidence that the pilgrimage had

PARTY VS.. PRINCIPLE.
Denver Times.

0tuNCI AhhCS'
The Pueblo Chieftain abandons
silver because it says, ''lt regards
the party greater than the indi-
vidual. and will bow to the party
decision"
The party may be greater than
the individual, but it cannot be
greater than principle. If the Re
publican party had not been in
spired and nourished by a great
principle it would have been dead
and forgotten long ago, 1t had
its birth in the principle of anti
slavery.
B;metallism, which means the
free coinage of both gold and
silver at an established ratio, con-
stitutes a great principle, the con-
sumation of which is essential to
the greatest prosperity and hap
piness of the civilized world. The
Republican conventions IN Color
ado have time and again urged
that the principle o. blmetalllsm
must be carried out, and that the
Republican party was the only
party through which it could be
brought about. But the time is
past for that sort of talk.
The present Republican majority
in the house of representatives has
uncquivocally declared against free
silver. None of the leading Re
publican presidential candidates il
a free silver man; no free silver
man can be nominated.
The question is not, Is the Re
publican party greater than th'
indlvlduall but it is, is the Re
publican party greater than The
free silver principle! The peopl'
of Colorado decided four year
ago that 1t was not,

That the Pecos Valley should

it will not be, we will furnish at

A KETTLE OF FISH.

New York, Feb. 25.-A dis
patch from Havana reports Is, 900
Spanish soldiers missing In Cuba.
The fact has been communicated
to the Madrid government and the
search for Their whereabouts is
going on day and night. Official
circles are il a state of alarm, for
200 men with $1,000 rifles
and 500,0 cartridges is an
enormous item to the Spanish
army. The disappearance of the
men will ultimately be traced to
either death in battle, the number
of which has been concealed to
hide Spanish losses, details to
positions in various parts of the
island, of which no record has
been kept, or desertions to JON
the insurgents.
The Spanish records show that
entire garrisons have joined the
rebels with their arms IN every
province on the island. An order
was issued by General Weyler
several days ago for report of
the number, position and cvndi
ton of the army. The response
to this, it is said, have increased
the confusion and there are re
ports from reliable sources that
there are 10000 men, instead O.
Is, 900, to be accounted for.
