we shall cease henceforth to make
any pretensions as political
prophet. His political opponents
are very jealous of the record he
has made, and in their attempts to
claim a share OF the honor and
glory of successful achievement,
make themselves slightly ridicu-
lous. Democracy has so little to
be proud OF, and we know from
the nature of the brute, would have
been SO generous in the event that
one OF their leaders had been in
President McKinley's shoes, that
no good republican will begrudge
sharing with them portion OF the
honor and glory of successful
war. AS they say, the power and
the honor and.the glory belongs to
the people. In this event, how

II is estimated by competent
authorities that nearly s. per capita
has been added to the circulating
medium OF the country by the ex-
1snditurs OF cash incident to the
hate war. This amount will not be
enough to please the populists,
who want every man, woman and
child to have at least $50, but it
will prove to any conservative
mind that there is plenty OF money
IN the country which is awaiting
an opportunity for profitable in
vsstment. -Four times the amount
81 money needed for the recent
bond issue was offered, which
proves that the circulating medium

would have us believe.

The official report Of the secrc-
tary Of state of Colorado, which
will be made in few days, will
show between $4,000 and SI2, 900
to have been taken in by his Office
during the month OF October. The
greatest amount ever received dur
ing the same month in any previous
year was in 1895, when numerous
interpretations swelled the grand
total to S., 373. SO. This is but one
OF the many indications that trade
and business revival is a settled
fact in the state of Colorado, and
that the occupation Of the calamity
howler is gone. The people in
almost every state in the union are
willing to admit that times are bet
ter and are striving to their utmost
to take advantage of present op-
portunities instead of idly waiting
with folded hands for the estab.
lishment Of pet theory which
they fondly believe will prove a
panacea for all the ills that flesh
is heir to. No man is SO blind as
he who will not see.

proposition made sometime ago

The petition of James Hireen ct
al, to extend the fire limits was
read and referred to a committee
of two to confer with the city at
torney in defining the FIRE limits to
be incorporated in a new ordinance.
The water commissioner was in
structed to purchase one valve Of
each size needed to repair water
mains in case OF accident.
The special committee on re-
vising and printing ordinances re-
ported adversely and the COM
mittee was discharged.
Councilman McCune was added
to the regular committee on ordi-
nances and licenses.
The bills OF G. w. Parker, NJ.
