COLORADO STATISTICS.

The Geological Survey has recently
issued bulletin giving some very i'm
portant facts with regard to Colorado.
The State has the highest average
elevation of all the States-6.S00 feet.
The eastern third of the State is COM
posed Of high plains, the middle third
of the Rocky Mountains and the west
ern third of plateaus stepping down
to the Colorado River. In spite of its
great elevation the temperature of Col
orado is but slightly lower than regions
of the same latitude near sea level, but
the ranges of temperature between day
and night and Summer and Winter are
very great. The State lies wholly in
the arid region.
Mining is the leading industry, with
an annual value of products exceeding
SAC, 100000. In this it surpasses all
other States in the Union except Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Michigan and West Vir-
ginia.
There are 24.700 farms in the State,
with an average value of $3.50. The
average value of produce on each farm
was $l.338. and the average number Of
acres per farm is 3S4, or twice that of
the farms in the rest of the country.
More than seven-tenths of the farming
is done, BY irrigation.

and made ready for the coming storm.
1t was not so much what was proposed
to be done or what could be done by
the new Congress as the dread of in
definite things that might be done. 1t
was akin to the present dread of what
the new element, with all its vehement
war cries against capital. may do to
property in general If it acquires any
influence in the councils of the land.
Secretary Taft suggests in the near
future that the Republican Party take
up the tariff schedule and carefully ex-
anime 1t by men skilled in economics,
and that the system be reformed in
the house of its friends, instead of be-
ing destroyed in the house of its enc
mics. which makes all the difference
in the world. Secretary Taft concluded
with saying that while the Administra-
ton courted investigation, as it had
shown in the past. it did not desire "a
yellow journal fishing excursion" il
elected, Democratic House would be
no aid to the President and Congress in
making Investigations and correcting
abuses, but would tie the President
hands, arrest much-needed legislation
and devote itself to trying to put the
President and the Republican Party in
a hole.

REVISION OF THE TARIFF.

Secretary Taft's speech at Akron, O.,
will be accepted as the keynote of the
Republican Party's policy with refer.
ence to the tariff. He said that the
Democratic claim that the tariff might
be so reformed as to destroy the trusts
was absurd, since the tariff was so COM
plicated a system that it could not be
remodeled on any such principle He
might have added, to give force to his
illustration, that the trusts exist in even
more dominating form in free-trade
countries and upon things which are
not protected by the tariff. For exam
pie, Japan has organized a great cam
phor trust, which has no reference
whatever to the American protective
tariff, and possibly the best way to meet
it is by a protective tariff which would
promote the production OF artificial
camphor. Within recent years we saw
similar process where our protection
upon tin destroyed the monopoly in
this country which the tin manufactur-
ers of Wales enjoyed, and gave us much
cheaper tin than they would sell Be.
side this, it provided hundreds of thou
sands of American workingmen with
employment and greatly enlarged our
markets for foreign products. Mr. Taft
said that, speaking for himself alone
a period of time had now elapsed since
the passage of the Dingley Bill, which
called for revision of the provisions
then made because of the rapid changes
which have taken place in the CONNER
cial world. He would preserve the pro.
tective principle. but carefully study the
tariff to remove whatever inequalitie.

THE NEW EUROPEAN COALITION.

The most startling announcement in
liplomacS1 fpSS years is that England.
france and Italy have formed an Of
| 'ensive and defensive alliance in the
| interest Of peace, and that this meets
>he approval and cooperation of Spain,
Portu gal handsome of the other minor
powers. The occasion for this new
move onIethsI European chessboard is
| The collapse of Russia in a military way
owing to the Japanese war and her in
ternal disturbances. For years Ger,
many. Austria and Italy have been unit
ed in thet famous Dreibund. This was
replied to by Russia and France enter
ing into a ledgue, and 1t seemed that
the forces Of the two alliances We're
L magnificent army approximating half
million and Russia with a regular
force of 100000 would be quite a match
FOR Germany's splendid army of 100000
md Austro-Hungarys and Italy's some
what smaller military establishments.
Since then Russia has ceased to be re-
garded as military power capable of
offensive operations and Austro-Hun-
gary is seriously crippled. Italy has
greatly feared that in spite of her being
an ally of Austro-Hungary that the lat
ter country contemplated an attack
upon her in order to consolidate her
own people by throwing domestic diff
of an outside danger. italy, whose army
made a most disappointing exhibition
in Africa, had much reason to be
alarmed lest Austro-Hungary should
attempt to recover Venice and Lom-
hardy, and the attitude of the German
Emperor did not reassure her. There
fore, she was forced to seek new friends
and return to her old relations with
England. The new combination places
Germany. which has been much dis
posed to play the bully. out in the cold,
and arrays against her a league which
it would be impossible for her to attack
with any hope of success. 1t is an open
question whether in another war the
French or the German armies would be
successful, and certainly the Germans
could not hope for success if Great
Britain and Italy united with France.
Even if Germany had all the assistance
that Austria could give her the COM
bination would be much too strong.
This new combination, it is asserted and
may we'll be believed, makes strongly
for peace, and is a matter of the highest
Importance, since the death of the Sui
tan of Turkey and the Emperor of Aus
tro-Hungary. which may be expected at
any time, will bring about the gravest
complications and menace European
peace.

The rep6rt that Thomas F. Ryan. the
American capitalist. has secured from
King Leopold. of Belgium, immensely
valuable concessions for rubber in the
Congo, Free State, is matter of far
reaching gIimportance. Rubber is every
day becoming more of necessity in
our cduntry. which takes more than
one-half1 of all the rubber produced in
the world. If the supply of rubber
should Suddenly cease. it would throw
a world .of our Industries into hopeless
confusion, because, SO far, scientists
have been unable to provide any ef-
fective substitute. 1t is a commercial
interest of such magnitude that in pre-
vious ages of the world has quickly led
to war. There is plenty of rubber in
the world, but the difficulty is the get
ting it. With Mr.. Ryan in control OF
the supply of Congo Free State. Amer
lean system and enterprise will prob.
ably be introduced, and a great increase
in the supply will be secured, without
any of the horrors which have attended
the collection of rubber under King
Leopold's agents.

Not only the English language. but
our alphabet, seems to be destined to
become the prevailing one of the world.
In all likelihood the Japanese will soon
legally establish our alphabet for the
Empire. The Government has had in
mind for some time the substitution of
the Latin alphabet for the clumsy and
uncertain Chinese characters which
have been in use since time immemo-
rial, but without waiting for Govern
ment sanction, leading men in the En-
pire have been pushing forward a
movement for this substitution which
is taking deep hold upon the people.
The Latin alphabet which We and most
of the European Nations use is in real
ity an Irish alphabet. 1t is based upon
the writing of the Irish monks in the
carly centuries, and which was so clear
and beautiful that it rapidly gained
popularity over the Grabbed and labor
Gus characters used by the monks in
other countries in the transcription of
manuscripts. 1t will be greatly to the
advantage of the world to adopt this
Irish-Latin alphabet and make it uni
yersal, and at the same time giving
every letter certain and Interchangeable
value.

severe loss to mourn. Comrade S. A.

partment, and who had been Com
mander of the Department and was
Assistant Adjutant-General and Assist
ant Quartermaster-G General. returned
from the National Encampment, at
Minneapolis, very ill. and died Sept. TO-
Comrade Darnell. who was a lawyer OF
much ability, was fine specimen OF
the loyal men of the South who stood
out against the overwhelming tide of
Secession. He absolutely refused to go
into the rebel army, made his way to
the Union lines and served gallantly
through the war under the Old Flag.
He returned to his home after the war,
an unfiinching loyalist, and maintained
himself there so as to secure and hold
the respect of his neighbors, who had
been so bitterly opposed to him. His
death is sincerely regretted by all
classes.

The great world of Christian Scien-
lists has been seriously disturbed by
reports that Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
founder and Supreme Head of the
Church, is sick unto death, and that
there is an understudy, who appears as
Mrs Eddy and goes thru the receptions.
This report was based upon the affida-
Wit of a Mr.. Hennessy that Mrs. Eddy
was all but dead from cancer. that she
was being attended by a Boston cancer
specialist, and that she was being i'm
personated in the receptions and car
riage rides by Mrs. Parmelia j. Leon
ard, of Brooklyn. 1t is claimed that
Calvin A. Frye, Mrs. Eddy's footman-
secretary, is the real power behind the
throne in the Christian Science world,
and has planned and is carrying out
these deceptions to maintain the Chris
tian Science establishment and continue
the receipt of more than S1,OO0,000 a
year income which Mrs. Eddy receives.
Mrs. Eddy is now Sc years old, and
cannot in the nature of things expect to
live much longer, even if she We're suf-
fering from no serious ailment.

The work of educating the Filipinos

The work Of educating the Filipinos
into practical management of their
own affairs goes on steadily but with
commendable slowness. Every step is
well considered before It is taken. At
the last convention of the Provincial
Governors held at Manila it was de-
cided to modify the composition of the
Provincial Boards in those provinces
not inhabited by Moros or other nom
Christians. These Provincial Boards
are now constituted of a Governor, a
Treasurer, and Division Supedintend-
ent of Schools. The Superintendent
will be dropt and a third member will
be substituted who will be elected by
the people. This gives the Filipinos
two members of the Board and a
controlling voice in it. There are safe
guarding restrictions thrown around
this election, and popular suffrage will
be allowed before the coming electi On
in February. The experiment will be
closely watched. and if it justifies those
who have made it it will be succeeded
by other enlargements of the Filipinos'
privileges. A local-option road law is
one of the measures contemplated, and
it is expected will accomplish much
good.

SUNDAY READING.

There is a well-founded complaint
that the children growing up now do
not speak or write as good, forcible
English as their fathers and mothers.
The explanation given is that their Sun
day reading is entirely too much of the
sloppy, sensational stuff found in the
Sunday newspapers.
In the older days children were COM
PEELED to read religious books on Sum-
day, and the Bible was obligatory in all
families, with Pilgrims Progress and
such works in most of them. These
were the best and purest and most
forcible English, and by their continual
reading of them boys and girls acquired
form of expression of their thoughts
and force and directness that are
now lost.
The National Tribune has always
been firmly OF the opinion that chap
ter in the Bible should be obligatory
reading in the public schools every day.
While this will be of benefit to the
scholars morally, it will also greatly
help them in their after life by teach
ing them clear. concise, direct style of
expression, in which the Bible has no
superior in English literature.

Spelling reform has had new and
important development in direction
which no one has heretofore thought
of. In Europe messages are charged
for according to the number of letters
instead of words. as in this country. All
transatlantic messages from America
are charged for by letter in accordance
with the European system. The adop-
ton of spelling reform will cause a
modification of the schedules of the
International Telegraphic Companies
and the consequent saving of money
For example. thru" will have to be
charged for as four letters instead OF
six. as formerly, and 40 on thru the
entire list. 1t will cause no trouble to
the operators, because they for years
have been using the shortest form by
which words could be spelled without
possibility of mistake. Consequent,
they will have nothing new to learn.

Francisco" Probably he is safer. be-
cause in Africa he has only to defend
himself from an occasional bad man,
while in San Francisco bad men con-
sregate to prey upon others. and assist
each other in their depredations. There
are enough police in San Francisco TO
maintain order. but there are Social

The report of Chairman Shonts, of
the Isthmian Canal Commission. in re-
gard to the laborers brought from
northern Spain, supports the view that
many ethnologists have held as to the
race that inhabits that country. The
ethnologists believe that the Celtic race
came into Europe by sea, and left a
colony in northwestern Spain, from
which a large and very excellent part
of the population is derived 1t is not
improbable that there is the same blood
there that there is found in northwest
ern France. Cornwall. Wales. Ireland
and Scotland. Chairman Shonts re-
ports that since Jan. / there has been
about goo laborers brought from that
section Of Spain. of whom but one has
died of disease. Their general condi-
tion is about the same as that of the
Irish and Welsh laborers that have
come to this country. and they are
quite valuable workers.

The Standard Oil Company's trou-

a powerful combine that will test its
strength. 1t is said that the three most
powerful financial groups on the con-
tinent, the Rothschild Brothers OF
Paris; Deutsche Bank of Berlin, and
the Nobel Brothers Of st. Petersburg
have entered into an offensive and a
defensive alliance to oust the Standard
Oil Company from Europe. The COM
bination starts with capital of f1,-
100000 sterling (s5,000, ,000), but pro-
vides for an increase to 100 times this
amount if necessary. 1t proposes te
consolidate all the oil properties OF

fight for the control of the markets.

Another surprising turn has come in
the Standard Oil Company cases by the
decision of the court at Findlay, o., that
$4,000 IS all the fine that can be coll
lected under the recent adverse verdict
1t was supposed that the law was per-
fectly clear that there should be n lne
for each day that the law was violated
The Standard Oil Company was charged
with violating the law since July 6
1903, and therefore it had accumulated
fines to the extent of s6.000000. Judge
Banker, however, holds that each al.
legation must be the basis of a separate
suit, and that these suits cannot b'
entered collectively. 1t was the genera
opinion among the lawyers of Ohio thai
the fines We're cumulative, as has beer
the case in other offenses under tho
Valentine law. but Judge Banker neg
atives this in his decision that for eacf
Gays offense there must be a separa tt
suit filed.
