The increase in the regular army
OF the U. S. which is causing some
distinguished citizens to see the
spooks Of Imperialism, means one sol.
der to every IS square miles, and If
the army were furtr er increased 25
per cent, there would be only one
soldier to every the usand Inhabitants.
General henderson, Nebraska's able
ex-senator, disl oses OF good deal of
of this impe ialism balderdash by
showing that the army Of IS, 200 to-
day is proportionately smaller than
an army of 10000 was in 1850, or
20, 900 in 1870. The timid souls who
are apprehensive OF miiltarism may
possess their souls in peace, The
country is safe so long as millions Of
its sons stand ready to defend it.

A dispatch to the Globe Democrat
from Colorado Springs shows that
the Cripple Creek district OF Colo
RADIO had gold output a little In ex-
cess OF 1000, 900 IN October, which
is large increase over that OF any
preceding month, and the indications
are that the product Of that locality
for the year will amount to about
$50, 100000. This shows that Colo
RADIO, gains being reported from other
parts of that state also, will continue
to hold the first place among the
gold producing states Of the country.
California, too, as well as some Of
the other mining localities, report

'rlerr Is great significance In the
fact that many leading democrats
admit TIT Taylor, the republican
candidate, got a majority OF the
votes cast in Kentucky in the recent
election. 1t is the persons who count
the votes, however. and not those
who cast them, who decide the elec-
ton under the Goebel plan. Nobody
supposes Goebel came within several
thousand OF receiving as many bal
lots as Taylor, but the Goebelites
still have hope OF Leing able to in
augurate their candidate. BY the
familiar process of throwing out the
votes of districts or counties in which
the Republican lead is so long that
1t could not lie overcome by any CHI
cansry in that particular place, Goebel
expects to get technical plurality
of the ballots. II Goebel succeeds in
his conspiracy rising will take place
which will put Kentucky In the Re-
publican column with such big ma
jority IN 1900 that even Goebcl aud
his ballot-anihilating law can not set

When the foolish man wants to
