THE APPEAL IN VAIN.
Reply of Silver Delegate to Chicago
Banking Firm.

DENVER, July Hon T. ]. O'Don-
Eell, delegate e-at-large from Colorauo,
left for Chicago tonight to attend the
Democratic National Convention. Be-
fore leaving he mailed reply to a let
ter from N. w. Harris & Co., bankers,
under a recent Chicago date, urging
him to work for a financial plank 10
maintain the gold standard, giving as
q reason that the firm has so far IN
vested SIT, 900 in Colorado, and STANDS
ready to do more of this when the
financial question has been settled. In
his reply Mr.. O'Donnell says:
Your draft upon the principle, patri-
ctism and integrity of the Democracy
must be refused. Reason, no authority
to draw; stranger to us; no confidence
in your resources of ideas or political
tenets You cannot purchase the Sow
ereign right of the people of Colorado
to take that part in the Government OF
the Republic guaranteed by the Con-
stitution for S777, 900. A duplication OF
YOUR boaSted total investments or
$40, 600, 600 in the West and South will
not serve to Swerve Democracy of those
sections one iota from the straight path
of duty The Government of this coun-
try has been left too long in the hands
of the bankers and bond dealers. II
any additional reason were needed TO
justify their declaration, 1t would be
furnished by such letters as yours. L
leave tonight fror Chicago to assist the
militant Democracy of the South and
West in preparing a new Declaration
of independence, which shall be free
coinage at 16 to /, regardless of any
rrher nation on earth or syndicate of
bankers and money lenders"

to soak for a few minutes before light
ing it for the first time the wood will
char very gradually, and as time goes
on it will absorb more evenly the nico-
tine. which will make it sweet to the
hardened pipe-smoker.
Most people think that there is a
vast difference in the quality of the
wood between a briar pipe that costs 81
and one that costs 25 cents, and nearly
every dealer is glad to foster this idea
But the fact is that the difference in
price lies in the mouthpiece. The 81
pipe has a mouthpiece of amber. and
the finer the quality of amber the high
er the price. But the quality of the wood
is about the same in a cheap pipe as in
one that costs dollars. OF course in a
cheap pipe there may be flaws in the
wood that have been deftly puttied up,
but a careful buyer, when he has a
number of pipes to choose from, can
easily detect these if he looks sharply.
a 25-cent pipe, if judiciously selected,
will smoke just as we'll and last as long
as a more costly one"

Among Some of the Fafrest Scenes

On this continent and in the tropics, ma

in such localities that the preventive and
remedial qualities of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters are most conspicuously shown. For
every form of malaria it is a signally eff
ficacious remedy, and conquers disorders
of the stomach, liver and bowels, rene

which invites disease by leveling the

Would Not Eat the Flag.

An Englishman in Washington at din

shape and color of the American flag
This he did because he held it to be bad
form to absorb the national emblem.
The incident was significant as showing
the distinction and the difference be-
tween the British idea of patriotism and
our own. Englishmen lift their hats
when the flag is carried past and rise
when the national anthem is played in

A CHANGE.
Redding Free Press: Why this sud-
den change of sentiment among the
gold Democrats of this city? Before
the Republican Convention met they
were shouting for gold; now they be-
lieve in the free coinage of silver. There
is nothing like getting in line with the
party.
THE FIRST THING.
Santa Barbara Press: The first thing
necessary is to provide revenues suffi-
cient for the support of the Govern
rnent and to devise tariff law that
will protect American workingmen
against foreign competition. When
that is done prosperity will return by
leaps and bounds and there will be no
further demand for currency imitation.

'sThe practice of wetting the bowl of
a new briarwood pipe before filling it

Just purchased a pipe walked over to

of experimenting with the hnanciai

vile RuStler.
Wise eXperimenters do not put tnelr
whole capital and that OF their friends
into mere experiments. Farmers mere
away are experimenting wlth sugar
beets and those who try small patches
make the best success. Experiments in
finding natural gas in this vicinity were
begun and conducted carefully, and
with small capital until success was
demonstrated and nlen capital was
poured into the work III vast sums be-
cause success was certain. The silver
experimenters were not willing to limit
their experiments TO the American
product. They all Jumped on" every
person who suggested that limit and de-
clared for trying free and unlimited
coinage of the whole worlds product
without first learning whether 1t was
possible to maintain the parity between
American silver and gold in the United
States. They thus repelled very
large number of friends of silver who
were willing to experiment with nm
tied amount off silver and see what
could be done with it. 1t is true that
no progress can be made without eX-
perirnents, but wise men do not stake
all they have on the success of untrled
experiments, which is what the unlim-
tied coinage people want to do. By
insisting on trying too much IN an
experiment they are likely to defeat
all experimenting for many years or
forever.

IF there are any Republicans in this aud

not a Republican farmer Republican Ia

Just ask those Republicans why it is that

his family and his neighbors and his coun-
try, why should he do contrary to what
his judgment leads him to believe Is right,
contrary to his conscience, in order to
prove fealty to his party, when these Demo-
