EDITOR DANA does not seem to like
Denver. In speaking of the coming
Festival of the Mountain and Plain he
makes fun of the silver serpent, and
winds up his sportive words by saying:
AFTER devouring gigantic goldbugs all
along the route, it will finally swallow a
more gigantic octupus and explode in
prize packages of moonshine cucumbers. !"
Wonder what he meaLs by moonshine
cucumbers? In the Rocky mountain
country cucumbers are grown in the sun
light, and never cause bad dreams.

He Wanted to Paw I'm.

An aged negro shuffled into the office of
Captain Frank Cunningham at the city
hall the other day and made the popular
city collectors hair curl by announcing:
"Boss, done come for to pay de license
on my polecats.
"What?" shouted Captain Frank, as a
horrible suspicion that the old darky had
brought them with him possessed him.
"My poleoats, boss. l wants to gin you
my polecats," said the old man, thrust
ing a black paw into the pocket of his
breeches.
"Why do you want to give me your pole
cats9" asked the collector, recovering his
equanimity as an idea dawned suddenly
upon him.
Cease owes it, boss, an dey dun tole

"Poll tax, by ginger!" yelled the col
lector with great gasp Of relief, and the

wheat will reach the dollar mark
before it will decline again." said a
merchant, who is also politician, re-
Gently, 'and silver will continue to
fall as wheat rises. I wonder how the
Boy Orator of the Platte feels just now.
A year ago he was telling the farmers
out west that if Mckinley were elected
the price of wheat would 60 down to
25 cents bushel, while if he (Bryan)
were chosen silver dollars would be
worth 100 cents The results show what
a demagogue and oharlatan Bryan is.
Wheat is now worth a dollar (gold)
bushel and the silver in dollar is
worth only little over 40 cents. I
should think that Mr.. Bryan would
feel like going into retirement to stay
for the rest of his natural life "-Phila-

RUSSIA AND GREAT BRITAIN

The war situation in India seems TO be
somewhat serious, as we'll as com plicated,
if the telegrsphic dispatches from that
land are to be considered as having any
truth in them. Late news ia to the effect
that British officers have come into pos
session of budget of secret correspond
ence between Russia and Afghanistan
going to show that both the czar and the
ameer are implicated in widespread plot
against the British rule in India, and have
had much to do with the uprising of the
tribes along the frontier which is now
causing considerable fighting.
There is nothing strange in this aspect
of the Indian trouble, and it is something
strange that such an arrangement has not
been made with Russia long ago. Since
the days of Peter the Great the policy of
the czars has been to increase the pos
sessions of that country to the southeast,
and from the time that the iron Peter
ruled that empire longing eyes have been
cast at India. Year after year the Rus
sian line has been pushed, some times by
force, bat more often by diplomatic
intrigue, closer to the coveted land and
it may be considered by the Russian
ruler that the time has come when the
secret conquest is to give place to open
warfare.
For some time past it has been known
that the gold reserve of Russia is far
above the requirements of the circulating
medium, and the question "what does
Russia want with so much gold" has been
asked by curious financiers several times
within the past two weeks. The answer
may probably be found in the secret
correspondence said to have fallen into
the hands of the officers in command of
the queens forces in India.
To an observer the attitude of Russia
in the Grecian-T Turkey war just closed
was the least bit suspicious. The Greeks

The people of southern California are
very much put out over the resurrection
of a man in Santa Monica. This man
was supposed to be dead for ten minutes,
and then in response to the earnest en-
treaty of his wife returned to this nun
dane sphere. That was all right in itself,
but he says that California is not in it
few minutes he WAS there, and his apos-
tasy regarding the climate of the land of
flowers will probably cause him trouble
when he recovers sufficiently to walk the

Thev Ought to Know.

The present tariff controversies in
the United States, though, of course,
mainly of commercial interest Oh this
side have also their amusing aspects.
One of these is the present enthusiasm
of the tariff makers for specific duties
duties based Oh weight or other meas
urement of quantity. This enthusiasm
arises from the warmth of their moral
revolt against the "unsorupulous and
scandalous' undervaluation which they
say has prevailed among European ex-
porters under the ad valorem system Of
duties. Bradford (England) Observer.

What Little Girls Were For,

There's a little girl in town, not always
well behaved, whose mother has many
serious talks with her. Once upon day
after a painful scene, the mother said:
"Now, dear, want you to tell me what
God gives little girls mothers for, If 1t isn't
that mothers are older and wiser than lit
tie girls and can tell them what is righ,
and what is wrong to do"
II don't fink God sends mothers to little
girls" sobbed the child. The mother was
aghast at the revolutionary idea.
"You don't think he sends mothers to
little girls?" she gasped.
"No," went on the child, II know he
list sends little girls to mothers cause he
knows at they wouldn't be happy II they
didn't have somebody to spank all the
time. Washington Post.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The Prospects For q Large Fall Trad
Appear to BE Excellent.

The Prospects For q Large Fall Trade
Appear to BE Excellent.
The stock boom is still under full
Roadway, and the advance, although it
cannot be expected to maintain the pace
which it has recently shown, appears to
be gaining solidly in public sentiment
The improvement of general business
has not kept pace with the progress of
the stock market, as, indeed, it never
does when a plunging spirit takes hold
OF Wall street and the sister exchanges,
but the country has before it bright
prospect of prosperous business this fall,
and we are confident that the prospect
will be fully realized unless our own
folly intervenes to mar.
All that is required to assure a splen-
did fall trade is that American business
men shall have chance to use the
magnificent opportunity now opening
before them without being troubled by
threats Of grave foreign complications
or subversive currency changes. Neither
OF these disturbing influences can come
upon us unless it is brought by our own
folly, No nation in the world-very
surely neither Spain nor Japan-will
pick a quarrel with the United States,
Or, indeed, have one forced upon it, if
it can possibly avoid rupture without
loss of honor. American diplomacy will
have to be very aggressive if it is to
lead us into serious difficulty with any
other power.
As regards the currency question,
there is even less excuse for forcing it
to the front under existing conditions.
Our currency system, kept exactly as it
stands, is quite secure. Nothing is need
ed to keep it secure for any number Of
years but an adequate revenue, an hon
est money administration and an abso-
Lutte exemption from any increase Of the
volume Of unexportable money. Given
these conditions, and all Of them are
well within reach, the United States
can get along very well without plung-
ing business into the congressional cal
dron by projects Of subversive monetary
changes. Boston Herald.
