1t is apparent that. measured by
this standard, these four states have
an unfair representation and that if
complaint is to be made Colorado has
just ground for entering one against
them.
Arguing along another line, and one
which should appeal with peculiar
force to a m~outbpiece Of Wall street,
like the New York Times, it would ap-
pear, at least to the Denver paper,
that even the smallest of the western
states is not unduly represented when
compared with the states of large
population like New York, Pennsylva-
MIA, Ohio, Illinois and Massachusetts,
though on a population basis they have
nearly two aud a haif times the pro-
portionate vote of those states IN the
electoral college, the total for those
states being 1870 votes on a population
of 20, 993,477, while nine of the west
ern states most sparsely settled have a
vote of twenty-nine on a population Of
1881, coo. The basis to which refer
nee is made by the Denver daily is
wealth per capita and as the guarding
of wealth appears to be the mission of
the gold standard advocates, it would
seem that they ought to readily admit
the ~desirabiiiiy of giving wealth the
largest possible voice in national
affairs.
According to the census returns the
per capita wealth Of different groups
Of states IS as follows:

TERRITORY OF ARIZONA,
 EXECUTIVE OFFICE.
 By national authority the first Monday ir September, the seventh day oi the month, is designated as legal holiday, to be known and celebrated as Labor Day.
 This Is but just and proper recognition of the great agency that has caused our country to stand first among the nations of the world. Every ship that rides upon the sea, all of the great armaments of our sea coast, all of the grand highways of commerce that traverse our country, all the grandeur of our cities. all of our splendid agricultural development, are monuments of labor. In no country of the world labor has been more fully recognized and honored than in ours. Among its other grand achievements it has been the mission of our country to ennoble and dignify labor. and no people of our republic more fully sym, pa thize with the hopes and aspirations of the workingmen than the people of our territory. Now therefore, I, Benjamin J. Franklin, Governor Of the Territory of Arizona, by virtue of the power and authority in me vested. do here by proclaim Monday, the seventh day of Septem Der. A. D., 1896, holiday, and do hereby recommend and request that all places of business and public offices be closed on that day. and that the people of our territory join in universal observance thereof. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my
 hand and caused the great seal
 of this Territory to be hereunto [sEAL1 affixed, this nineteenth day of

The fare is only ss:20 for the round trip, on excursion days, which will be every Saturday during the summer. Here is an opportunity for Phoenix business men to send their families to Prescott where they will escape the heat in the valley. then visit them every Sunday.
 Prescott climate during the summer is delightful, the nights being always cool enough to enable one to secure re- freshing sleep. Many people rent tents and camp out among the pines, whicu makes the expense of living very small. Desirable camping grounds can be found within radius of one mile from Prescott.

Paid the Price, But Failed to Get the
 Goods.
 A singular story is reported from St. Calais. A few days ago several per- sons were sitting at table in local hotel, when the splendid mustache of e horse dealer became the subject of conversation. One of the members of the party complimented the horse deal CT and asked him for what price he would sell his mustache. "Ten francs," replied the latter, laughingly. q will buy half of them,' said the would-be purchaser, placing five francs on the table. The horse dealer put the money in his pocket and later in the evening left the hotel. Not quite approaching the joke, the man who was minus the five francs sought the aid of the county court process server, and having laid. the information in regular form brought action against the horse dealer for 800 francs damages for non-execu- tion of his contract.

? CASHIER WASHES MONEY.
Microbes on Paper Currency Destroyed
 by an Ammonia Bath.


 The fair metropolitan cashier has added new factor to her growing val uation which will not prove so desirable a vile in the eyes of her employer as the honesty and efficiency which have won for her almost a monopoly in the business. It is the result of the microbe craze, says the Globe-Democrat, and is nothing less than washing all the money she handles, and charging her employer overtime, too. The discoverer of this new way to enhance her usefulness and cost is Annie Nesmyth, the money -taker of big downtown hotel. Miss Nesmyth serves at night mostly, and, while less money comes in then than during the day, she is generally kept busy enough. The money is often very dirty and to the last degree repulsive to handle. Now, the cashier is trained nurse resting" from her arduous pro- fessional. labors. After sick spel. from handling the soiled currency she concluded to resign. She was persuaded not to by an increase of her salary and permission to wash the money. So every night sees a soup-plate of ann monia water at her elbow, into which each note as it arrives Is dropped. It gets a. quick bath and then is laid out on piece of flannel to dry as tenderly as if it were her best piece of jewelry. The water has to be changed two or thref, times in a nipht

Fabric Changes Color with Varying
 Weather Conditions.


 Weather Conditions.
 A fabric that changes color under varying conditions of the weather has just been produced.
 No practical use of the new invention has yet been made, except few sample neckties which the inventor has dis tributed among his friends. The fab ric of which the neckties are made, says Answers, resembles coarse linen. When the weather is warm and fair the color is dark blue. In cold weather it changes to purple. The approach of rain is heralded by pink, and snow causes the necktie to become startling green.
 The invention marks new era in fashions. Shirts, trousers, gowns and other articles of dress can be made of the material. The invention is yet in its infancy. When it has been developed to greater extent the woman of fash ion can array herself in blue gown in the morning. By noon it will turn to a mauve. The afternoon will find it pink, and the evening some other color.
 As labor-saving institution the new cloth is exceedingly valuable. Ther- mometers and barometers will go out of fashion. The 'city man" as he puts on his shirt in the morning has but to glance at the color. If it is purple, he wears his heaviest overcoat. If it is pink, he takes his umbrella under his arm. When sails are made of chameleon cloth the yachtman has but to glance at his mainsail to know what kind of weather is coming.

Preventing Noises.

A means for preventing the noise
made by trains in passing over iron
bridges has been devised by German
engineer named Boedecker. He puts a
decking of inch and quarter blanks
between the cross girders, resting on
three-inch timbers laid on the bottom
f1anges. On the planks double layer
of felt is laid, which is fixed to the
vertical web of the cross girder. At
the connections with the girder tim
Der cover joint is placed Oh felt, and
two hooked bolts connect the whole
firmly to the bottom fange. -Four
inches of Stag gravel cover the decking
which is inclined toward the center Of
the bridge for drainage purposes. A
layer of felt is laid between the planks
and the timbers they rest upon and
the ironwOrk in contact with the deck
ing and ballast is asplalted. The
decking weighs 600 pounds per yard
for bridge eleven feet wide and costs
% cents square foot. 1t is water tight
and has proved very satisfactory in
preventing noise.
