THE GOOD TIMES COMING

1t is pleasing to note that such pa
pers as the Denver Republican have
abandoned their pessimistic cry OF four
months ago and are opening their eyes
to the coming prosperity. This paper
yesterday quoted a small editorial note
from the Denver Times, in which it was
inclined to the belief that perhaps the
Mckinley administration was in a
measure responsible for the improve
ment. In an able editorial yesterday
the Republican says:
The man is blind who does not see
these Indications of improvement. The
effect may not have been felt very per-
ceptibly. in trade, but that will certainly
come In the course Of a short time. 1t
will come particularly after building
operations have given employment to
labor and enabled workingmen to in
crease their purchases or to discharge
obligations contracted when they were
out Of employment.

Tit Cheyenne Sun-Leader seems Ia
be full OF hidden sarcasm over the re.ep-
ton and criticism Of the Cheyenne ANA
teurs In Laramie, and intimates thai i,
was not all that could have been expect
ed. merits considered. So far ms The
Republican is concerned. it has no per-
sonal regrets. The criticism of this pa
per was honest. candid and fair. Man
ager Stable came to Laramie advertis-
ing his troupe to be rs fine as n majority
OF the travelling troupes. The universal
opinion OF those who witnessed the per
Torrance in Laramie is that he was
mistaken. An amateur company is al
ways entitled to more or less charity in
its own town. but when it passes beyond
the limits Of its own bailiwick, and nd
vertises itself as good as the majority,
1t must expect to be at least honestly
criticized.

The Washington Evening Star saws:
1t is understood that the president will
not appoint members OF un international
conference commission or take pny stems
toward calling Il conference until after
the expiration OF the special session of
congress. The president has in mind n
very comprehensive plan for dealing
with the whole monetary question. 1t is
understood he will at first confine nego-
tiations with foreign governments TO
the usual diplomatic agencies. All the
ambassadors and ministers to foreign
governments appointed by Mr.. McKin-
ley will be given special Instructions to
devote particular attention to bringing
about a friendly understanding on the
monetary question. They are expected
to assume an attitude friendly to BIZ
metallism and to exert what influence
they can toward inducing the countries
to which they are accredited to give the
matter serious consideration.

Thomas B. Reeds prediction that the
tariff bill will pass the house in two
weeks after it is reported to that body
will probably prove to be correct. His
forecasts Of the action of his branch
generally hit the mark. The senate
finance committee will probably have
the bill early in April, and may report
it by the 18th or Goth OF the month. 1t
is hazardous to predict what will hap
pen afterward, but there is a chance
that the bill will go through that body
in five or six weeks. There is n rea-
sonable presumption that it will get in
TO the presidents hands before the mid
die Of June, making a fair allowance
for the sluggish movement of the SEN
ate and the delay in the conference COM
mittee. Then the industries will quick
ly adjust themselves , the new condi-
tions, the revenue shortage will end and
a business rally which will promptly
pull the country out Of its slough of
depsond will take place.-Globe- Demo-
