Colorado, points out that the percent
age of trials by court martial OF en-
listed men has nearly doubled during
the past year. He says in part:
lit is, therefore, plain that there
has been a deplorable increase OF Of
lenses in general and Of desertion in
particular. In my opinion there are
two principal causes for this state OF
affairs: First, resentment Of unac,

felt by men returning from field SER

Of garrison life; second, the abolition

saloons CT the lowest type have been
established just outside the boun-

Their proprietors, in almost every
case, unprincipled scoundrels, who
leave nothing undone to debauch the
soldiers and obtain their money. Be-

breathlessly upon every move of the man

The New Exposition management has
not accepted Creatore upon heresay, but
has had its own representatives hear and
see him under varying conditions, and for
that reason asserts with confidence that he
will take his audience absolutely by storm.
Suburbanites will regret it all their
lives if they fail to hear this marvellous

cONFIDENCE is NOT SHAKEN.
Future Plans Show It--lndustrial and
Commercial Activity, In Spite
Of Drawbacks.

New York, Spet FIR. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review Of Trade, issued
today, said in part
Notwithstanding the disarranged
money market almost a fuel famine
and some damage to crops, industrial
and commercial activity continues I'm.
abated, and the magnitude Of plans
for the future indicates that the con-
fidence has not been shaken. Scarcity
of funds has thus far caused no hard.
ship except to spectators, and the
stringency will remedy itself by con.
tracing loans on stock exchange col
lateral, together with such aid as may
be offered by the treasury, which is
partly responsible through absorption
Of funds. Injury to crops by frost
has no more than Offset the increased
acreage, while high prices fully COM
pensate producers. IL Is not time
for pessimism, although securities
have declined sharply. Railway earn
ings for September thus far exceed
last years by 6.8 per cent and those
Of 1900 by 16.5 per cent. Pressure in
the iron and steel industry has been
somewhat alleviated by larger re-
ceipts of coke and liberal imports OF
pig iron, yet the outlook is by no
means devoid of unfavorable features.
No fuel famine exists, although the
furnaces are consuming receipts OF
coke as they arrive, and it is impos-
sible to provide for more than i'm.
mediate needs. Some idle plants have
resumed and now operate from day TO
day with the constant menace OF an
interrupted movement Of fuel, which
would suspend operations. At the
west this factor is most serious, coke
commanding $40 ton or more, while
in exceptional cases $13 has been
paid. Owing to the numerous 1nfu-
ences now in evidence there is less
disposition to place large contracts
for distant delivery of pig iron and
sales are chiefly of small lots. For.
eign iron is freely received and other
consignments are under consideration.
More steel rail orders have been
placed abroad. Needs for structural
shapes are increasing, much work be-
ing held back by slow shipments, and
orders are reported for delivery nearly
two years hence.
No concessions are possible in the
wool market, which has increased in
activity at the east.

X X TIME TABLE
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE. +"

That is a finely drawn piece of
irony which Chairman billiard
worked into his call for the congress
sional convention for the Fifth dis
trict. That a congressional conyen-
ton should declare the paramount
issue for 1904 is not at all among
the impossibilities but in view Of
the declarations of many county
conventions Mr.. billiard did well to
incorporate that purpose in his call.
Our county convention a few weeks
ago declared the policies of the last
national campaign to be the distilled
essence of true democracy, and
would not hear any suggestion Of
Thomas jefferson or any other of
the old fathers. Imperialism, that
bugbear which gave the authors of
the last national utterance delirium
tremens, must e m a II para
mount, and none of the pet meas
ures which gave Billie Bryan the
nomination and Mckinley the pres
idencv was to be disturbed. The
doctrine was laid down that the
Kansas City platform was party law
until changed by another national
convention, and no subordinate con-
vention had the right to make dec
Iaration not entirely in sympathy
Herewith. OF course, Chairman
billiard doesn't mean that the demo-
Gratis of the Fifth congressional
district are to actually declare the
paramount issue" for 1904. While
this paper believes that it is entire
ly without the jurisdiction of dem
ocratic convention to express its
views upon questions of party poll
cy, even if those views do vary from
the last national or state utterance,
still it begs to remind Chairman
billiard and the balance of the dis
trict, that in this county we operate
under the doctrine that to propose
any change in the party law as laid
down by the national convention is
high treason and will not be tolera-
ted. We are unreconstructed free
silver, anti-imperialist Bryan demo-
Gratis, fodder or no fodder.
