cheerful thing to the farmer. 1t

A Colorado Prophet.

Robert Harris of Weld county,
Colorado who has reputation as
weather prophet, makes the follow
in, predictions for the coming
winter:
II base my early predictions of
the kind of weather we may expect
the present winter by the milt of
the water animals. When they
build their houses high there is sure
to be very high water. The present
cold, rough weather will be followed
by about three weeks Of fine
weather, part Of the time very warm
for the season of the year. Then
winter will s,t 10. The first six
weeks will be remarkable for its
sameness. such as feeders delight in.
January will be the same, only
more broken weather. February
will be remarkable for its extreme
changes-some days very cold and
some unusually warm. The coolest
days will Immediately follow the
warm spell, but there will be no
cold like last winter.

On the Result,

The silver forces throughout the
country have good cause for en-
enlargement and congratulatlon
on the result of Tuesdays election.
The tide has turned against the
Mckinley policies of Imperialism,
militarism, trust rule and the gold
standard. The vote shows it and
the returns make it plain.
Take Nebraska. The campaign
was fought on national issues and
with silver majority Of less than
1000 last year she now wheels in
to line with silver majority Of
fully $4,000 as renewal of her old
time faith in Bryan.
Take Maryland. That states
electoral vote went to Mckinley in
1896. 1t now goes democratic by
1900 majority.
Even old Massachusetts reduces
her republican majority by 10, 900.
While Nash (rep. wins in Ohio
yet this cannot be construed as an
endorsement of the administration.
Had the combined vote OF ones
Gnd.) and Mclean dem. been
cast unitedly for any one candidate
the republicans would have lost
Ohio by fully $4,000, all of which
shows that evea Ohio refuses to
stand by Mark Hanna's president.
A divided majority is all that has
saved Ohio to Mckinley.
Take Kentucky. She gave al
her electoral votes, with the excep
ton of one, to Mckinley in 1896
She elects democratic legisla-
turc, insuring a democratic United
States senator, aud the official
count will probably be required to
decide the governorship.
Virginia gives her usual heavy
democratic majority.
The tide is turning against the
brand of republicanism peddled
out by Hanna and Mckinley and
it will sweep them clean in the
contest Of next year. Republican
ism has lost nearly every import
ant contest this year where the sill
yer forces had a fighting chance to
win. There is Joy and encourage
ment in the silver ranks through.
out the nation. The people are
waking up. Bryan and seven mil
lions of patriotic voters will push
on to victory next year, and moth
can prevent il.

Foreign Complications Feared.

The administration is plunging
from one difficulty into another.
The huge army CT 65,o 900 men
which will be in the Philippines
by January is to be augmented
by every device and twisting of the
law that the legal ingenuity Of
Secretary Root can devise. Some
$500 men in the hospital corps,
hitherto ranking as enlisted sol
diers, are now otherwise designat.
ed, while nearly 5000 Chinese
coolies attached to the service as
carriers, trench diggers and general
Iaborers are charged up against
the revenues of Manila.
This, however, is only the be-
ginning. Recruiting is going on
q lietly and steadily at every i'm
portant point in the United States
w lcre recruits can be obtained.
The regular army of $4,000 men
and volunteer quota of $4,000 are
filled. What, then, is up?
OTIS force is to be kept up to an
efficient standard Of IS, 900 men,
and as fast as hospitals are filled
with sick and disabled soldiers
they will be put on board the re-
turning transports, sent back to
the United States and discharged.
The "endless chain" of gold which
has for years haunted the dreams
of the Wall street hnanciers in
charge Of the treasury department
now finds its substitute in an end
less chain of human flesh and
blood. The fact is, the admins.
tration is looking for foreign com.

Some Prosperity Notes.

The Longshoremeu OF New
York City find themselves unable
to appreciate Mr.. McKinley's
brand Of prosperity. Their wages
have recently been cut from $14 to
Sra a week, while the price Of
everything they eat and wear is
being steadily advanced by the
trusts. The Longshoremen are
on strike, not with any expecta-
ton that their wages will be adj
vanced so they can share in the
alleged prosperity Of the country,
but that the wages which they re-
ceived before the era Of trust
prosperity may be restored. Their
chances Of winning the strike are
very much lessened by the fact
their employers-the railway and
steamship companies-have little
difficulty in finding plenty of cheap
foreign labor to take their places.
4 immigration for the last year was
as per cent greater then for the
preceding year, according to the
commissioner Of immigration.
This means that the trusts are en-
couraging foreign immigrants to
come here by the usual glittering
; promises Of good employment and
[ nigh wages. Such labor is always
convenient thing to have handy

for decent wages Or q share in
rust prosperity.

contrary they are liable to be in

incurred are to be met by further
bond issues. Congress will be
asked to create a department of

be invited TO look at spectacle OF

the United States 70 seize a port

in the spoilation of that ancient
empire.
Great Britain recognizes her
own military weakness and seeks
the aid of the Uuited States in her
scheme of Asiatic dominion.
Great Britain is military power
only by courtesy said Blsmark
five years ago. Her humiliating
reverses in South Africa at the
hands of the Beers prove the truth
of this assertion. Unless the
United States can be roped into a
military alliance with Great Britain
that country's days OF greatness
are numbered
But one strong reason exists for
Mckinley's humiliating conversion
of the United States into a catspau
for Great Britain. The trusts
which control the administration
know that they are doomed unles:
the republican party can be con
tinued in power. To continue it
in power they have organized this
scheme Of imperialism and foreign
conquest to devert the public
eyes from the spoilation which the
trusts are carrying on at home.
The administration program O
lavish expenditure is apt, however
to receive a setback in Congress
The indications are strong tina
