Streeter has lived on this territory
most of the time since then. 1t is on
this undisturbed residence that he
bases his squatter's claim.
For years people took him and his
claim as a joke. But the cap'n was
in earnest. He had the tract sur.
veyed and laid it OUT in lots. He sold
many of them. Then he organized a

After sixteen years full of strange
vicissitudes as ever beset any en-
pire, the sun seems to have set upon
the District of Lake Michigan, in Chi
cago. BY a decision of Judge Chy-
traus in the Superior court the rights
of Gaps" Streeter to six acres of
land within the territory he claimed
were denied. This establishes a prece-
dent that must result, lawyers say,
in the ultimate REIMBURSEMENT of the
entire tract.
Streeter heard the words that
changed him from a possible million
asre, a territorial governor, sheriff,
and postmaster to a plain "Cap'n"
without a tremor. Perhaps one of
his freshly oiled boots swung back
and forth over his knee more rapidly,
possibly he twisted his red whiskers
a trif1e harder, but there was no other
sign.

Rrxanism in Colorado.


The Democratic press and poll
ticians of the state are deeply con-
cerned as to what shall be said in the
keynote speech at the coming state
convention. AS might be expected
there is a wide and active divergence
of opinion, although the majority of
those interested seem to be actuated
rather by a desire to find something
that will be popular than by the dec
laration of principles in which they
really and truly believe. Even these
cannot agree, while those who are
genuinely sincere are hopelessly at
loggerheads. A bunch of papers, in
which we find our dearly beloved
Rockville Tribune, savagely demands
the support of the peerless Bryan"
and all his woolly vagaries, while a
large number are in favor of reorgani-
cation. openly repudiating Organism
and all it stands for. Others, the real
ly wise ones, are saying nothing,
waiting for the cat to jump before ex-
plotting their principles" There is
nothing in the situation to trouble or
harass the Republicans and the event
can be awaited with, gladstone inter-
est 1t now looks as though the re-
organizatfonists would win, and the
Bryanites would do well to begin TAX

Never STRONGER Than Now.


The divergent views of Republican
statesmen, and the tenacity with
with which such views are severally
maintained, indicate the virility of the
Republican party. 1t has been a posi-
tive, forceful party throughout its
strenuous existence 1t is a thought
full, considerable party, with convic-
lions that are not cast in the weather
cock mold, making them amenable to
change with every political breeze.
The Democratic leaders are quite
welcome to all the hope they can
make out of the vision they affect to
see at Washington. They may at
least enjoy the comforting assurance
of Paul, But if we hope for that we
see not, then do we with patience wait
for it" 1t will be a long wait The
cohesion of the Republican party was
never stronger than it is to-day.
There never was time when it's lead
ers were more loyal in its support or
more determined to stand shoulder to
shoulder in defense of it's principles.
But there is no bell-wether in the Re-
publican fold. The leaders of the
party, and the rank and file as WELL
do their own thinking and express
their own views. When it comes to a
political battle, however, all minor
considerations are forgotten, with the
usual result of total eclipse of Demo
cratic hope.-Los Angeles Herald.

functions OF the government in both
branches were turned over to the
Democracy to-day any great reforms
would be brought about or that
any more stringent laws would
be enacted? 1t il too improba-
he even to imagine any such results.
In no two sections of the country does
the Democracy stand for the same
thing. The election of q Democratic
Congress would simply fill the seats
with a Quarreling crowd of incom-
petents, and instead of having better
laws we would have a government
crippled in its most important branch.

MINERAL PRODUCTS.
Their Output Enormously Increased In
Five Years of Protection.

Their Output Enormously Increased in
Five Years of Protection.
To large degree our mineral pro-
duction is indicative of what protec-
ton has done for our industrial expan-
sion under the operation of the Ding
ley law The coal for our furnaces
and for engines in mills, on the rail-
road and as the basis for all motive
power; the iron ore which is the basis
OF our great iron and steel output;
the stone for construction purposes;
the copper and silver and gold all
show a most wonderful increase dur
ing the past five years. In value our
mineral production has increased
from 1922 900 600 in 1896 to over ST.
100000, 600 in 1901, or 100 per cent,
and the output for 1907 will no doubt
show a most substantial increase over
last year.
The following table shows the in
crease in value of a few of our min
eral products from 1896 to 1901:
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1902-08-16


In all the above the increase was
enormous, except silver, which shows
a slight decrease in both quantity and
Commercial value.
Some of the less important products
increased in even greater proportions,
such as graphite, from $48, 1000 to $780,,
900; feldspar, from $50, 900 to 5000, 900;
precious stones, from $97, 900 to $780,
900; flint, from $4,000 to $780, 900;
mineral paints, from $3.50, 900 to $780,
900; pyrite, from $4,000 to $500, 900,
and so on through the list Perhaps
the most noteworthy increase is that
in the production of iron ore. This is
shown again in the pig iron output,
which has increased from 6,657, 1888
tons in 1894 to 1878, 1854 tons in 1901,
and an estimated output of nearly 49,
100000 tons for the present year.
Our whole mineral production, like
that of agriculture manufacturing and
forest products, shows the effect of our
increased purchasing power. In ship
ping, railroading, building, and every
field of mechanism there is the same
increased demand for the products of
our mines, which at the present rate
of increase will in a year or two ex-
coed billion and a half in value an
nually.
