Cultivation of Rubber Plant.

Colorado is truly wonderful state
The varied character of its Industries
has long been known. Few persons,
however. thought a few years ago that
the production of rubber would ever
be one of them.
The discovery of rubber plant in
digenous to this state has wrought
wonderful change and now 1t is an
nounced that within eighteen months
there will be ten factories in operation
extracting rubber from the Colorado
plant and producing as much of the
crude product from an acre as an acre
in the tropics Of Africa from rubber
plant OF different species.
Inquiry seems to have settled salts
factorily two important matters. The
! first is that the plant in question pro-
duces enough rubber to make its ex-
traction a profitable industry. The
other is that the plant can be produced
by cultivation. The rubber factories
will not have to depend solely upon the
supply of these plants growing wild
in the mountains. They can be pro-
.duced, and thus the stock can be
maintained from year to year.
I 1t is represented that the cost per
ton of crude rubber will be only about
$500 whereas the present price is
about $500. This will leave big
margin OF profit. The demand for rub
Der is SO great that 1t will require
many years for its production in this
state to reduce the price.

JUDGE PARKER's ACCEPTANCE.

The speech of acceptance of the
Democratic nomination for President
by Judge Parker has a flavor of an
tiquity which will commend 1t to
those Democrats who have kept on
voting for Andrew Jackson all their
lives. He commends Thomas Jefferson
highly and says that that eminent
Democrat summarized in his first in
augural most OF the principles upon
which the Democracy now relies. He
does not mention Jefferson's record on
annexation. nor refer to that instru-
ment of government which was enact
ed by the Democratic party for the
government of the new territory OF
Louisiana-an instrument that left the
Inhabitants fewer rights of self govern-
ment by a great deal than the United
States has accorded to the Ffliplnos.
With Jefferson's ideas on the navy
the judge is in full accord. Jefferson
ordered the battleships of his day tied
ur at their wharves and built a fleet
of flat-bottomed stern-wheel gunboats
to resist foreign aggression. The Judge
thinks our navy is entirely too large
and would restrict 1t to home duties.
AS for the tariff. the Judge says the
Democrats cannot do anything any
how, as the Republicans will have the
Senate; so that is in his opinion elm
mated from the list of vital issues.
One more topic the Judge takes up
the Colorado situation. Here his gem
eral sentiments are admirable. while
its application. as might be ex-
pected. is wide OF the mark. He says
every man has right to work. and
ought to be protected In that right
which is Just what Governor Peabody
has maintained all along: but he is
very sensitive to the wrongs OF the
poor men who have been 'deported''
because they were aiding and abetting

which may run up to six or eight thou
sand votes.
In the meantime. the legal status OF
the deportation question. the habeas
corpus and martial law questions, is
becoming more generally understood,
and the truth OF the assertion that be-
cause a course of official action is I'M
usual, It does not follow that 1t is I'M
constitutional, is being made clear.
Thousands of documents are being
sent out explaining the details of the
Colorado issues and a very marked
reaction appears to have set in in favor
of the law and order policy. The ex-
traordInary activity In the dissemina-
ton of campaign literature at the Re
publican state headquarters indicates
that the promised strenuous campaign
of education is now on.

TURKEY COMES TO TIME.
Presence of American Warships Has
the Desired Effect.

Constantinople, Aug. 10. A satisfac-
tory solution of the American school
question has at last arrived. This mat
ter, which is the most important OF the
American demands, was settled by ex-
tending to American schools the same
treatment as that accorded to schools
under the protection of other powers.
A settlement of other matters Affect
ing American interests in Turkey OF
secondary Importance has also been al
fected and Minister Leishman has tele-
graphed to Rear Admiral Jewett. In
command of the United States squad
ron sent to Smyrna, instructing him TO
salute the batteries on land and depart
The sitting of the council Of minis
tiers at which the settlement was agreed
upon was a long one and 1t was mot un-
til near its close that an agreement was
reached.
The delay in the settlement is be-
lieved to have been caused by the inter-
wention of the palace functionaries
whose policy in order to retain the Sui
tan's favor, consists of combating the
rights and privileges of foreign sub
jects.
The reply not only gives assurances
that no discrimination shall be shown
in the future between American schools
and those of other nationalities, but,
incidentally. offers an indemnity in the
amount claimed, five thousand pounds
Turkish, to the American citizen, Mrs
Lane. as the price of property owned
by her.
The indemnity to be paid to Mrs.
Lane closes, 1t is believed the only pc
cuniary claim pending against the
Turkish government.
