HENRY HAMILTON,
BANKER AND BROKER.

He was a little uncertain as to the
second half of the sign. 1t was not
over the door of the First National,
of which his father was president, but
it sounded WELL
The bank opened with a reserve
fund of $1.2S, for it was Saturday aft
ernoon, and Harry had just received
his weekly allowance.
He established himself behind
screen of wire netting which in its
earlier career had served in the hum
bier capacity of fencing for an aban-
doned chicken yard, and announced
that he would take money on deposit
subject to check after school hours, or
at other times if you could succeed in
finding him. Unlike the National
banks, he paid interest at the rate of
cent on the dollar every three
months and would loan money at the
rate of a cent a month on good Sc
curity. The boys were inclined to
complain at the difference between the
interest paid and in the interest
charged, but Harry promptly pointed
out the risk he ran in taking articles
that he might be unable to dispose of.
Harry Tice was the first customer.
There was minstrel show in the
town hall that night, and he needed a
quarter for a ticket. He left a three
bladed knife as security and got his
quarter.
The minstrel show was a good thing
for Harry, for at the end of twenty
minutes he had to run uptown and
apply to his father, as silent partner,
for an increase of capital.
The boys respect for the solvency
of the institution was greatly increased
upon his return with twenty shining
quarters and the loan department of
the new enterprise did a thriving bust
ness.
In a. few days deposits began to
come in, and by the following Satur-
day the bank balance showed 81 on
the right side of the ledger. 1t would
have been $3.50, only Harry Taft

Colorado and Organized Labor.

A desperate effort is being made
by Senator Patterson and other po-
litical demsgogues to create the i'm
preston that the state authorities,
and large portion of the people of
Colorado, are bent upon exterminat
ing labor unions in this state.
This effort to deceive the labor
union people and to stir up bitter
ness and hatred is being made solely
in the interests of the socialist and
democratic parties.
The people of Colorado and the
Governor of Colorado believe in or
ganized labor but they do not be
lieye that they are bound to approve
of the crimes of an organized band
of thugs and murderers simply be-
cause the latter parade under the
banner of organized labor and try to
hide their hideous crimes behind the
responsibility which its mantle af.
fords.
Organized labor was getting along
nicely in this state when the West
ern Federation of Miners made its
appearance. Then there was not a
Citizens Alliance organization in
Colorado, and the radical anti union.

list and the fire eating dynamiting
element of organized labor were sell
dom heard from.
I. But since that time the Western
Federation of Miners has become a
socialistic political organization
which is opposed to the present form
Of American government, aud which
finally turned loose its dynamiters to
bring disgrace upon the state and
upon unionism.
This unruly, loosely organized and
badly led organization ordered a
sympathetic strike in Cripple Greek
which was against the judgment OF
every conservative labor union man
in the state. When they found they
could not win, instead of calling off
the strike they set their dynamiters
at work. BY their unwise course in
calling and conducting this atrike
they have done organized labor a
serious and unmeritsd injury.
The people of Colorado have no
fight with organized labor but they
are bitterly opposed to the Western
Federation of Miners which has left
the same long trail of blood in this
state that it left in the states to the
north of Colorrdo.-Colorad d o

Law Above Everything.

A dastnrdly and appalling crime
was committed early last Monday
morning at the Florence & Cripple
Creek railroad depot at Cripple
Creek. Thirteen innocent men lost
their lives by this awful crime. They
were guilty of nothing more and
nothing less than having come to
Cripple Greek to do work and to
make an honest living. For this
they were sent into eternity without
shrift, without mercy, and without
warning by cowardly assassins and
treacherous murderers. People nat
urally will connect this bloody deed
with members of the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners who have been
fighting non union men and have
threatened to take human life, when
ever and wherever it was necessary
to keep non union men from Colora
do mining camps. Another dispatch
states that in a riot at Victor Mon
day night dozen men were killed
or wounded. This riot WAS brought
about by union miners and WAS di =

Bitter Memories Lineer.

Never did effe ct follow more swift
ly, surely and ruinously than did
the panic of 1893 follow the demo
cratic tariff tinkering. Under the
Mckinley tariff law Of 1890 the
country had prospered generally and
solidly; but MIR. Cleveland gnd party
that elected him were not pleased
with such a condition. They want
ed TO do some tinkering and they
did it with such success, from their
own point of view. that the business
of the country was paralyzed, the
wheels of industry made idle and
millions of wage workers deprived of
employment. That time of panic,
of stress and suffering has not been
forgotten. Bitter memories of it
still linger in the minds of the Amer
ican people, who knew at the time
as they know today that the bond
issues of 1894 1896, of which Mr..
Cleveland appears to be so proud,
were only an attempt to repair some
of the damage wrought by the dem
ocratic tripping up of the protect

riot WAS also directed against the

such wages as he pleases, without

FOUR ARMIES IN ACTION.
THE Battle CONTINUES.
Entire Russian Front Engaged :
Kurepathin's Losses I 400.

The attack which began on August e5 on
the Russian position in the Manchurian in
terror continued yesterday said dispatch
from Liao-Y Tang. The movement developed
into a general engagement, three japanese
armies being engaged. Nodzu's attack on the
southeast, Russian reports say, was repulsed.
Oku on the south and Kuroki on the east
drove the Russians to the main position. The
fighting in the latter region was desperate.
The Russian losses were ,45O.
Refugees from Port Arthur who reached
Che-Foo brought reports which strengthen
the belief that the siege of the fortress will
be long. The Japanese are said to be unable
to occupy Itse-Shan. The chief menace to
the garrison is considered to be the loss of the
most northern fort of the eastern defences.
Japan has addressed to the powers a note
saying that she will be forced to take action
if the Russian warships at Shanghai be not
at once disarmed.
Advices from Paris say that the opinion
is growing there that France, Great Britain
and the United States should stand firmly
together to avert the danger feared from a
sweeping japanese victory in the East.
