To kenresent the schools.

Arrangements are being made to have a
school and second grade grammar classes to
represent the public schools of town in the
Memorial Day ceremonies. The undertake
ing will not be difficult one as many of the
pupils have considerable knowledge of the
tactics. 1t is thought very proper to have
the schools represented in the ceremonies
and still more so to have so or 100 well
drilled pupils in line, in preference to all the
schools, with a majority of them lacking the
knowledge of marching tactics

Several New Unions Organized by Presi-

President John Fahy re-organized q Local
Union of the United Mine Workers at
Colorado Monday evening On Tuesday
evening he organized a new Local at Connors
and one on Wednesday at Gimrdyille,
Mr. Fahy says that throughout the region
the coal workers are taking greater interest
in organization than they have for long
time and business men are becoming greatly
interested In nmany places they are asking
that arrangements be made whereby they
may be admitted to membership. They do
not desire TO take part in, or interfere with
differences between the employer and EN-.
ployc nor to be members of grievance com.
mittccs, but merely be members of the or.
ganiMtion to such an extent as will brin2
them closer in touch with its members and
thus enable them to more readily and
effectively lend their aid and influence, ant
co operate with the coal worker in building
the organization up to position of strength
and mutual benefit
The members of the organization arr
highly pleased with this movement and arr
anxious that joint meetings between thu
business men and themselves he called in tn,
several towns in the near future.

 have in mind plan of river and harbor defense which seems to me en- tirely feasible. Place beneath the water two wires, on the cableway plan, extending from a pit or fertilization on shore to an anchorage well out. Along these cables torpedoes could be electrically propelled with great rapid ity and absolute certainty of course. Any number of these lines could be laid, centering on the most strategic points. A constant succession of ex- plosions could thus be provided for, which would make 1t utterly impossi- ble for anything to float above them or cross the line defended. Above such a network of wires a cruiser would toss as helpless as a fly enmeshed ill spiders web The harbor would be transformed into boiling caldron and the precision of the battle ships fire be prevented. With a thousand dangers upsp1inging from beneath, and the supporting eannonade of land batteries. it seems to me that any naval attack would be necessarily repulsed.
 The signal corps could employ fash lights for the interchange of communi- cation. The withdrawal of troops at night from the front of an opposing force could be detected by searchlights. Surprises would be rendered difficult Battlefelds could be Illuminated, and by expediting the work of relief parties save thousands of lives. The telegraph and telephone would come into exten- sive use. Cavalry raiders would have to outride electric engines. Portable ranges would become part of the equip ment of armies. Rations could be cooked on them, and they would be of inestimable service in field hospitals. Often camp fires are forbidden and the rnen must endure the cold and discom- fort of an uncheered bivouac. Elec- tricity could supply heat without fire.
 Heretofore forts and intrenchments have been constructed with the pick and spade. But the use of electricity on a grand scale in our great public works and corporate enterprises shows to what advantage it could be putin the erection of Notifications. Live wires, heavily charged and stretched outside of defensive positions, would be of greater service than moat or abatis.
 War is daily growing more terrible. Perhaps electric energies may make it so destructive as to render all appeals to arms impolitic. The pure white light of this supernal force may be the dawn of that era of universal peace of which the centuries have dreamed.

view has pitched into the latter as "a praying fool, with more money than brains" Mr. Vanderbilt has lately been involved in a series of troubles with the British eXehequer on the sub ject of occupancy taxes. These oeeu- paEsy taxes are levied upon those who rent country seats and similar trihes, and Mr. Vanderbilt has been fighting them right and left. This has earned him much odium. Altogether his posi- ton in England has become far from pleasant. He has been dropped from several invitation lists and carieatured as the sparrow, the fights of the bird being presumed to be symbolieal of the present war in the Vanderbilt house hold. On the other hand. MT. Wander bilt continues to enjoy high favor in New York. If he is a sparrow, he is fighting one, as Mir. Labouchere re- marked, and the fighting sparrow is British bird.

 York member of the commission, is known to possess much and very def- nlte information regarding Russia's feeling for the United States in the event of war. When at the court of St. Petersburg as our minister. he sounded the government and got very satisfactory results. Mir. White also knows all about the sea serpent tor pedo of the Russian navy, a secret in- Vention which floats and sinks and looks like huge snake on the surface of the water. We are likely to see many of these monsters on our side in the event of war, and Mir. White is one of the few Americans who has ever been aboard of one.

FROM SOUND MONEY SOURCES.

"The credit and honor of the Ftate and nation are of first importance. The recent popular verdict, which has declared in favor of the use of both gold and silver money, but at the same time the maintenance of the best and high est standard so that every dollar shall be of equal value, should be accepted and adhered to. o."-Gov. Bradley.
 ...Colorado increased her gold out put by $7,50o,oo0, rising from $10,5o0,- GOO in 1894 to S1s,000,000 in 1895. This is in the actual output. Millions more have been made, and of course lost by some one, in the stock speoulations. The Colorado papers now claim sii- premacy for their state as q gold pro- ducing region, exceeding California and second only to the Transvaal re- Gion of South Africa. Copper, coal, lead and iron all show an increased output in that state and the farmers and fruit growers have come into increased prom thence. Altogether the outlook for the Centennial state is not as bad as the silverites would have had us believe.- Iowa State Register.
 ....In 1894 the output of gold in Col orado was S11 ,235, ,506; of silver, $14,- 721,750. In 1895 the output of gold was SIT ,495; of silver, S14,259,049 For the first time in it's history the gold out put exceeded the silver output. No wonder Colorado has regained sanity on the money question. It no longer hangs all it's hopes on the prosperity of the silver mines. There is silence in the tents of Wolcott and Teller. Colorado is no more the crushed and Respondent silver state. It is the great exultant gold state. It's malady was what the doctors of medicine call 'refx neuro- sis" and it's bodily prosperity has healed it's brain.-Chicago Times-Her- ald
 ....The silver mine interest and it's supporters are practieing the same highWayman's methods. They will do nothing to protect the public credit, to sustain the gold reserve, to place the financial affairs of the country on a safe basis unless the illimitable coinage of silver shall be provided for in the laws to be enacted. Their plan is in fnitely worse than that of the protec- tion bulldozers. They will net to any thing to help the public credit unless their silver shall be bought and ecined and so established as part Of the money system that the public credit will be hopelessly wrecked and de- stroyed. These are the two classs- the protected -,onopolists and the sil- yer speculators-wh are now jumping on. the back of the country, increasing it's burden and impairing it's strength, 4t the tiTne of it's greatest necessi ty.- Chicago Chronicle.
