The Weekly Citizen.

The Weekly Citizen will make
its initial bow to the public Satur-
day. Not from selfshness, but
from a purely business standpoint,
the PILOT has contended that the
movement will not be a good one
financially for either the publisher
or the sponsors for the publication,
because a new newspaper is a very
expensive plaything. In other
words, we mean that if the same
amount of capital and labor that
will be required to make finan-
cial success of the Citizen were in
vested in one of several other en-
terprises that could be mentioned
the returns would be far greater
and quicker. This conclusion is
not based upon theory nor mere
imagination, it results from over
seven years of practical newspaper
experience in this and other towns.
But, however, the PILOT has no
desire to detract one iota from the
credit due Miss Smith for the
courage she has displayed with a
full knowledge of the unfavorable
conditions which beset a newspaper
in Crested Butte. Improperly con-
Quoted, the Citizen will be help
to the town, and We sincerely trust
that it will prosper, for we know
that success achieved by anybody
in the newspaper business is doubly
earned. The PILoT. has always
been liberal in its policy and will
continue to be so. Therefore, we
extend the fraternal Hsy- to our
contemporary, and hope that the
relations between the PILor and
Citizen will always be auliable.
There is no sense III two papers
fighting like dog and cat. BY
helping each other they both get
along better and accomplish more
for the community in which they
are published. Success to you,
Sister Smith

Are the Americans of to-day the
degenerate sons of noble sires?
Our fathers carried the flag from
the ,Alleghanies to the Pacific,
from Kentucky to the Gulf, from
the Golden Gate to the frozen
north, and with every advance the
prophets of evil predicted the fall
of the republic. But the republic
grew in size, in strength and virtue.
And there is something more be-
yond. There is more freedom to
give, more schoolhouses to build,
more truth to preach, more oceans
towhiten with American commerce,
more tasks to dare, and all the
pessimism represented by Tam
many Hall. the solid south, the
anarchy of Chicago and the sophis-
try Of the Platte cannot limit our
growth, paralyze our commerce,
stop our development or make us
recreant to our manifest destiny.

Laboring men can easily weigh
the respective merits of the two
parties with reference to their in
fuence on the question of work
and wages by comparing the tramp
ing armies, the charity soup houses,
the silent factories, the grass grown
railroads, and the stagnation of
1898 and 1S94-produced by the
Democratic threat of policy of free
trade or revenue tariff-with the
protective tariff and its results, as
seen to-day with busy mills,
crowded railways, employed labor,
good wages, and the heaviest ex-
ports ever made by this or any
other country since nations began
to exchange products. Labor will
be slow to give up an evident,
tangible, constant condition OF
prosperity for the promise of Great
ing another Office to be filled by a
henchman of the boy orator of the
Platte.

Evidence is continually increas-
ing that man is learning to control
nature. The latest is contained'in
a report from the y. S. Consul at
Lyons, France, to the Department
of State, which deals with an in
teresting and apparently successful
experiment to prevent the annual
devastation by hail storms in the
grape-growing section of France,
by breaking up the clouds by
shooting into them with cannon.
The French government, the French
Agricultural Society, and number
of wealthy grape-growers contrib
uted the money to make the exper-
iment on a large scale, the COVER
ment loaning the cannon, of which
50 were used, and selling the
powder for q cents a pound. The
experiment proved SO successful
that arrangements are under way
to provide for its permanent
establishment during the storm
season throughout the grape-grow-
ing belt of France.

Great changes come in few

state of alarm and excitement be-
cause of shipment of gold to Eu-
rope, and this week when the
largest amount of gold ever sent
out of the country at once left New
York for Europe nobody paid any
particular attention to it, and the
Secretary of the Treasury says ii
merely means that we have more
gold than we need and that it Is

An ominous feature

An ominous feature OF the
Chinese bu siness is that not a
single European government has
seen Fit TO make any explanation to
this government of the assembling
of war ships and troops ct Shanghai
by England, Germany and France,
which 50 many regard as the first
step towards an international war
in which the European nations will
not be allies. In fact, according to
officials of the Department OF State,
who say that no communication re-
garding its intentions in China has
been received from any European
government, this government is being
ignored by its whilom allies. This
may mean nothing, but it looks odd.

NEW RUSSIAN CANAL.


Waterway of Great Importance soon
to Be Under Construction.
Berlin, Nov. z. = From a we'll In
formed source it is learned that in a
few days there will be published the
plans of a new canal Of the greatest
Importance to be built in Russia. The
canal will be Of great Significance
from the military as well as the COM
mercial standpoint. 1t will connect
the Baltic and White seas, running
from st. Petersburg along the Finnish
gulf to st. Catherine, the new naval
harbor, on the Thurman coast. The
Neya river, now seven meters deep
almost twenty-three feet, will be
deepened still more, and the canal will
run from it to Lake Ladoga, in North
west. Russia. This will enable the
Russian Baltic feet to escape should
a blockade ever be attempted on that
side of the empire. The plans were
drawn up by Engineer Timoroff. The
distance from st. Petersburg to the
innermost seaport Of Libau, on the
Baltic, will be greatly shortened. This
will be part. of the new canals COM
mercial significance.
