UNCLE CONSIDERS ADVICE.
Silver That Nobody Wants Piled U
In the Treasury Vaults while
Gold 10 in Use.

Before writing a word on the sill.
yer question l went to my Uncle Con-
slider for good advice.
"Uncle," l said, do we really need
free silver-free coinage?"
"Need it-need free coinage!" ex-
claimed the old man. "Why, we've got
it. This government has a right to
coin all the silver it wants to, hasn't
it"
"Yes. but suppose we need more%
suggested.
Need MORE" he repeated, slowly,
"why, how much silver have We
coined?"
well, l see by the mint reports that
we've coined S625,3O0 600 WORTH
"And how much gold?"
six hundred and twenty-six million
six hundred thousand dollars worth"
! said.
"And where is that silver now"
swell, | said, ~ see by the last mint
report that $56. Az. 900 is in circulation.
The people have 1t, but s5OS,O00,OOo is
lying idle in the treasury
"Five hundred million silver dollars
piled up in the treasury, you say?
"Those are the figures, uncle
"And how much gold is there in the
treasury
"About $50 900, 900, and most of this
we have just rented from the English
at four per cent, and we've got to pay
it back"
"What, no real gold at alp" said
Uncle Consider. thoughtfully. Hiring
gold from the English, you say, Just
to keep up appearances?" and my
uncle got up and walked the floor.
After a few minutes he stood up.
wrung his hands and said, slowly:
"I'ye been a bimetallist all nv life
Eli, and it seems as if everybody
else has been that way, too, for we've
coined $685., 900 900 worth of silver that
nobody wants. The people won't take

life and enjoyment Of life to
thousands: men women and
children.
When appetite fails, it re-

When work is hard and
duty is heavy, it makes life
bright.

wedge; the thick end is food.
But what is the use Of food.

you forget your stomach.
Well send you little to Try, Il you like.

INCREASED SAVINGS.
Mckinley Prosperity Swells the Saw
ings Bank Deposits of
the People.

Mr.. Bryan continues to argue that
the people want something more than
the full dinner pail. They are getting
it. They wear more clothes, use more
cotton, use more wool. buy more fur
niture and have and save more money
than they did under the Cleveland
democratic control of national affairs.
How much better they have Jared
under the administration of President
Mckinley is shown by the following
comparative statement Of deposits in
the savings banks.

In connection with the fact that Mr..
Croker, Of ice trust fame, and Senator
Jones, of the Round Cotton Bale trust,
are supporting Mr. Bryan, it is interest
ing to add that Mr.. Bryan's recent
meeting at Parkersburg, W. Va, was
presided over by ex-United States Sen
utor Camden, an od-time democrat,
who, besides being one Of the richest
men in West Virginia. is large stock
holder of the Standard Oil company.

Better Lend Than Borrow.

Mr.. Bryan views with alarm the
fact that Americans are lending
money to Great Britain, Germany and
Sweden. He thinks the lenders are
unpatriotic. Americans are glad to
have money to lend. Under a demo-
cratic administration they had to Dor
row s262.OOO,OOo abroad, and. that in
gold. Mr. Bryan's election would
mean a return to that undesirable po-
sition.

THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE.
The Commissioner Reports the Work Done
by Hin bureau During this
Pas Yea

Washington, Oct, tile report
of the commissioner of the general
land Office, made public yesterday,
shows large increase in the current
work of the Office for the past year,
due, the commissioner says, to the
general stimulus given to all indus
tries in the country for II year past.
The total cash receipts of the land
Office for the past year amount to a.
370,75S, an increase over the previous
year OF Sl,309,o2l and over the fiscal
year 1893 of $2,1O1, 1853.
There was proportionate increase
In the amount OF land disposed Of,
the total this year amounting to 49,
453,SS7 acres, an increase Of 100000
acres over the previous year. The
homestead entries for the year aggre-
gated S,47s,409 acres, an increase Of
2,300,S acres over the previous year.
There has been also large increase
for the year in the number of final
homestead entries made.
There has been a decrease in the
number of mineral land entries made
during the year, but this Is to be
accounted for largely by the number
Of suspensions, notably in Colorado
and Montana, under late rulings
made by the secretary Of the interior.
While there has been diminution In
the number OF mineral land entries in
general, there has been an increase In
the number OF patents issued upon
coal land entries.
Important work has been accom-
plished in the forestry division, Two
Of the existing forest reserves, the
Prescott reserve in Arizona, and the
Big Horn in Wyoming, have been en-
larged by 423,6S0 acres and l,ls0,s00
acres respectively. The Olympic for
est reserve in Washington has been
reduced by 1929, $40 acres in response
TO the urgent requests Of represents
ativc citizens and commercial bodies
in that state on the ground that the
reserve includes great deal Of val
liable agricultural land which had
been entered upon by bona fide set
tiers. One new reserve was created,
that Of Santa Ynez in Southern Cali
fornia, comprising $4,000 acres of
land.

CAUGHT in the Act,

Wilford Harris and William Cutting,
were brought into the city this morning
by Deputy Game Warden B. F. Jay,
charged with seining Mesa lake for fish
and also of having in their possession
fish which would not measure the length
required by law.
Tho young men hail from Palisade.
although 1t is stated that one OF them
is visitor to Colorado. They were at
Mesa lake when Mr.. Jay was there. The
latter on a visit to the lake says he saw
the men seining in the lake and take a
fish out Of the sein.
The game warden does not know how
often the men threw in their sein, but
he is inclined to believe that they had
been fishing there for several days. Hav.
ing seen the men right in the act he ar
rested them and brought them to this
city, where he swore out complaints for
their arrest.
The case was called before Justice
Sweeney this morning, but the attorney
for the defendants asked for change OF
venue and it was granted. 1t was turn
ed over to Justice Mann and then taken
later to the comfy court.
Samuel N Wheeler appears for the
defendants. The state is represented

New Fruit Express Train.

There is new fruit express train run
out Of this city for the accommodation
of the fruit growers OF the valley, 30 say
the officials Of the Colorado Midland
railroad.
Motive power, which is short, is the
only thing standing in the way Of plac-
ing the train on at once.
The plan is to have the train leave
Grand Junction about four O'Clock in
the afternoon, carrying two or more ex-
press cars, in addition to smoker, chair
car and Pullman.
Speaking of the train the News of
Denver has the following to say:
when necessary express cars will be
set out at these points and picked up
already loaded, thus saving from thirty
minutes to an hour in time. The run to
Colorado Springs will be somewhat fast
er than the present schedule and at the
latter point the Cripple Creek train will
be picked up and brought into Denver
about $50 o'clock.
1.-The present No. 6 will leave Grand
Junction possibly at o'clock, giving
passengers from the Rio Grande West
ern more time for supper. The train
will reach Denver about the same time
as at present.
1.-THE new arrangement will be of great
benefit to fruit shippers as the boxes will
be in the Denver commission houses and
even in the retail stores long before the
warm sun in the morning. The only
difficulty in sight at present is the short
age Of locomotives on the Midland, the
unusually heavy freight business calling
for nearly all the available power on

CRUELTY OF THE CHINESE.

It is reported that the native Chris tians and some of the Japanese and European soldiers captured during the present trouble have been forced to un- dergo the ling chee, a peculiar and popular method of Chinese tOrtur5 the operations of which are enough to make the flesh creep with horror. There are various degrees of ling chee, differing only in the l5ngth of time in which the victim is made to suffer- Its chief and most hideous features con sist in the slow slicing away with a huge sword or knife of the victim s ears hands, feet. and other portions of the body. Where the operation is sup posed to be tempered with a little mer- cy, obtained generally by a bribe, the executioner cuts off only the eyebrows the breasts and the arms, and then puts an end to the agony by plugging his knife into the heart. If more exquisite torture, and therefore more pleasure for the onlooker, is desired the cutting up process is drawn out as long as pos sible the vital parts being avoided with the knife The extremetics ara hacked off, piece by piece, the tleshy parts of the thighs sliced away, the eyes gouS- ed out. and other mutilations inflicted which are simply indiscribablc. All this is done too often to man accuS- cd of a crime which in most countries would call only for a brief term Of i'm prisonment-Leslie's Weekly.

On June 1, 1S96 the total circulation of money in the United States was ST.,
 521, ,5S4,OOO, a little less MONEY IN than $500, coo, ,OOO being in
 CIRCU- the form of gold and LAYTON. gold certificates. On
 July l, 1900, the volume of money in the country had increased to S2,341, s99O0O of which S2 O62, ,425, 900 was in circulation. Tn four years the enormous sum of half billion dollars in gold has been added to the peoples money. This is in excess of the value of all the silver mined in the United States-at a ratio of 16 to 1-since 1896. Since MT. Bryan began to tell the peo- pie four years ago that what they wanted was more money, they have added at the rate of $11 ,267, ,50O per month or about $43S. .965 for every work ing day.

One of the results of the l,artictpa ton of Canada in the South African war is the proposal to abolish the appointment of a British officer to the chief com mand of the Canadian militia. The To- ronto Globe, the leading government organ, regards the recent appointment of a new commander for only one year as evidence that a change in the sys- tenn is under consideration, and that when the war is over a Canadian may secure the appointment. This will re- move the last link of direct military connection with Great Britain, if the garrison at Halifax be excepted.
