THEIR own FAULT

Ii the late Denver election
serves to show Republicans what
fools they have been and how the
Democrats bave played them for
suckers, it will serve good pur-
pose. While they have not to
exceed twenty per cent. of the
state, they have the governor and
practically control the whole state
administration. With only nine
thousand votes out of thirty-five
thousand they capture the capital
city, and with that and the state
administration will construct a
machine with which they will try
to control future state elections.
There are plenty of voters in the
state who call themselves Republi-
cans to carry any election if they
would vote together, but when
one-half of them permit them
selves to he used to help the DEM
ocrat party into power, and .then
get the jeers of that party for their
trouble, nothing better can be
expected. The Democrats have
reaped all the benefits OF fusion
and Silver Republicans and Popu-
lists are left to hold the sack.
Whatever silver was once, it has
now become secondary question,
and If Republicans are fools
enough to continue to divide upon
it they will continue to be beaten
and will only get what they de-
serve. e.-Boulder News.

THE IDLE MILLIONS

There is always considerable
pleasure in speculating on Colora-
dos future, and at the present
time the prospects are so bright
that speculation seems transformed
TO existing fact. Here we have a
volume of capital in the banks of
Denver representing over $50,
600, 600. As soon as the tide
turns and business confidence is
again restored in the proper de-
gree, this will flow out over the
state to develop its mines and
agricultural valleys.
1t is estimated that local capital
will realize something like $780,
100000 or $40, 1000, 900 out of Il G
consolidation of the smelter inter-
ests. Such men us j. +. Grant,
Ebcn Smith and the dozen others
interested in the matter can be
depended upon to do something
for Colorado in the future rs well
as they have in the past.
What will it mean for Colorado
This vast volume Of capital can
not be tied up forever. Sooner
or later it must leave the vaults in
the banks and seek to earn some
thing in the regular channels.
When it does reach out for
investment its effect will be
marked. According to the
assessors returns in the state for
1898 the assessed valuation was
5000, 600, 900, or tribe less than
that sum. OF course these figures
are absurd, but they serve TO il
lustrate what the addition of this
$40, 900, 900 would mean for tie
state.
A few days ago the Times pub
lished the reports of the Colorado
National banks to the authorities
in Washington. These reports
were positive evidence Of the TACT
that outside of Denver there is a
sum exceeding 300, 900, 900 on
deposit. AS the business horizon
becomes clearer, as the calamity
wall of the past dies out, and as
the politics of the state assume
stable shape and form this money
will begin to find its way out.
The citizens can do much to aid
in its distribution itself through
out the state. Help to settle the
chaotic conditions of the past and
give the capitalists to understand
that the conditions before the pam
ic and fusion days are again the
order of the day. Welcome every
dollar TO the state and to the city.
See that laws are not passed which
act as a menace to the investment
of home and foreign capital and
prosperity will be enthroned in the
Centennial state. Denver Times.

the state. Every section of the
state has its festival day, and the
original intent of the Denver fes-
tival was to have it the last, and
at the same time representative Of
the glory and success of every
part of the state.
The idea for this fall, to have
an exposition of the states re-
sources, is one that ought to
attract hundreds who have not
attended former carnivals. The
spirit of development and prosper
ity is apparent in the state.
Every county begins to realize
that it has something to advertise
-something that is little better
than some other county has. The
spirit of rivalry will enter the
competition and insure the success
of the exposition. Every manu-
featuring industry should be given
an opportunity to-show progress.
The mineral and agricultural Sec
tions ought to show the world
what they can do. A stock show
will undoubtedly be one of the
features.
From present indications hun-
dreds of investors will be attracted
to the city as result of the new
plan. These men will represent
thousands Of people in the East
who are seeking homes. Men
from the east looking for openings
for factories will be here, and
there is every reason to believe
that the proposition will be one of
special importance to the material
progress of the state.-Denver

Remarkable Cure Of Rheumatism

KENNA, Jackson Co., w. Va.
About three years ago my wife
had an attack of rheumatism which
confined her to her bed for over a
month and rendered her unable to
walk a step without assistance, her
limbs being swollen to double
their normal size. Mr.. S. Mad-
dox insisted on my using Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. Ipurchased
a fifty-cent bottle and used it ac-

The prospects are good for Den

gatherings. 1t is to be hoped that
she will profit by the experience
of other cities and not put the
structure out in the suburbs at an
inaccessible distance. Such a
building should be near the bust
ness center and easy of access.
II is very sad to contemplate
the burial of 336 bodies of soldiers
who went out last spring in all

contemplate it and think of the
