The postoffice will accept the checks
in payment for stamps in S. or $40
lots, but will not attempt ito make
change for everybody bringing them.
The stamp windows are resorted to 0y
so many people in making change ev IN
on ordinary occasions, that it is diif-
cult to keep change on hand
So far as ordinary business is con
cerned, there will be little change from
the prosperous conditions already ex-
listing. The only things Immediately
affected are stock movements and large
undertakings requiring immense sums
of money. For these things there has
been no available cash. but the new

tion very soon and business affairs will

UNITE TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE.

We don't want any men in Col

to the wheel and assist in restoring the
confidence of the people. Turn a deaf
ear to those that would advise you
wrongly. Remember that it is easier
to destruct than to construct.
The man who refuses clearing
house certifcate-if this state possess
es man who is mean cough to do such
thing-is not worthy of the name
Coloradoan. He should be pointed at
with scorn by his neighbors and made
to feel the stigma that is the part of
every traitor.

and homes will not suffer through

cause of his refusal to obey orders by
inspecting a wire used by the Western
Union and who afterward prevented a

his request for reinstatement, has been
accused by some of selling out the

pendent.

Inventive genius seldom achieves sue
cess at the first attempt. A half grown
boy in Pennsylvania, who had devoted
his leisure hours for many months to
the making of milking machine of
his own devising, at last completed it
to his satisfaction and resolved to make
trial of it. Without saying a word to
anyone he carried his machine down
from the attic, where he had wrought
patiently day after day to bring it to
perfection, and took it out to the barn
yard where old Cherry, the family COW,
stood placidly chewing her cud, with
her big, lusty calf playing around her.
few minutes later his mother saw
him trying to re,enter the house un-
seen. He was covered with dirt from
head to foot and in state of demoral.
ization generally. In his hand he was
something that looked like the wreck
of a toy battleship
"For mercy's sake, JUDI she ex-
claimed, "what have you been doing!"
"I've been trying my milking ma
chine on the cow,' he said.

THE STATEMENT of some unknown
Southerner to the effect that General
Grant, before joining the Union army,
made overtures to Jefferson Davis of
fering to espouse the Confederate cause
is one of the fshiest reports that has
been given circulation for some time.
No denial of such report is necessary.
1t is enough to know that Ulysses S.
Grant was first of all a gentleman and
afterwards a soldier. His gentlemanly
bearing both on and off the battlefield
and his undisputed loyalty to his coun-
try and the Stars and Stripes through
four years of awful carnage are alone
sufficient to brand the story as a silly
hoax.

ENGLAND AT THIS moment is

ENGLAND AT THIS moment is
passing through a stage of acute transi-
tion. She is taking vast strides toward
the tangible restoration of democracy.
She is one of the newest countries in
the world. Old institutions, old sys-
tens, hallowed privileges, the instinc
tive thoughts of men on the problems
of politics and society, are all being
attacked, inquired into, recanvassed or
transformed. But amid this great agi
tation of the public mind the monarchy
remains untouched and was never at
any moment more secure in the affec-
tiOns and reasoned convictions of the
people. 1t is thirty-fve years since
republicanism raised it's head for a
brief and futile moment in Great Brit
ain. 1t was never more hopelessly lost,
indeed, dead and buried cause, than
it is today. A phenomenon so striking
is susceptible, am well aware of many
explanations. But among them, the
conduct. the personality and the recon
cling labors of King Ewdard must be
given foremost ploce. They have
been triumph not only for the mon.
archy but for monarchy itself.-Inde-

THE BEST news that has reached
Glenwood in many day is the report
which comes from Washington to the
effect that Secretary Garfield of the
interior department has promised to
take up the construction of the high
line ditch near Grand Junction under
the rules of the reclamation service.
Not only is this good news for Grand
junction, but it is good news for Glen
wood, for, aside from few interests
in that country by Glenwood residents,
this place cannot fail to share to GER
tain degree any prosperity which comes
to Grand Junction and vicinity. Even
if this were not so, we are just loyal
enough to western Colorado and un-
selfish enough to welcome any plan
which will do so much to increase the
wealth of any section. The building
of the high line ditch will transform
a desert waste into a garden and veal
thy orchard section.

A WEEK FROM next Saturday
Glenwood will celebrate her first Mar
ket day. Everybody should make it a
point to remember the date, November
23, for, according to the committee in
charge, there is going to be big
crowd of farmers here. They will
bring in live stock and produce for sale
and the merchants will have good op
portunities of buying as well as sell
ing. Some exceptional bargains are of
fcred by the stores for that day only
1t should also be remembered that Mar
ket day will become permanent in
stitution, and in summer time, it is
likely, there will be Market day ev-
cry month.

PROF. GIDDINGS, the writer and

PROF. GlDDlNGS, the writer and
lecturer on political economy, told
New York audience that when the di-
rcetors of the United States Steel cor
poration met together they represented
one-twelfth of the total weight of the
United States. Seven eighths of the
wealth of the country is owned by one
eighth of the population. Putting it
in another way. he said that ten per
cent of the population owns fifty per
cent of the wealth. The condition that
such statement of fact evidences
bears a resemblance, he said, to that
which preceded the break up of the Ro
man empire. We have condition,
democracy, that creates difference at
least in the situation.

MuRPHY's DEBT TO HEARST.

Mr.. Murphy is under the greatest
obligations to Mr.. Hearst. To no other
man in New York is the Tammany boss
so deeply indebted.
Last year, when Murphy's power
was shaken and his throne tottering,
the man whose newspapers had carica-
tured him as a criminal and convict
gratefully accepted stolen nomina
tion for governor from the hands of
the Tammany boss, and enabled Muir
ply to strengthen his grip upon the
local Democratic organization.
This year, when an honest fusion
might have greatly reduced the Tam
many authorities, Mr.. Hearst packed
the ticket with hacks and hired men
and gave Tammany walk-over.
Thanks to Mr.. Hearst, Murphy's lead
ership is more securely established to-
day than at any other time in his whole
political career. Honor to whom honor
is due.
To win in New York, fusion must
represent character, conscience and con-
viction. If it be merely an appetite
for office it is foredoomed to disaster.
There was never the slightest doubt
about the result of the election from
the moment that the names of the fu-
sion candidates were announced.
1t was unthinkable from the ouset
that intelligent and respectable Repub
icans of New York, who only year
ago were asked to believe that Mr..
Mearst represented everything Objec-
tionabe in public life, could be induced
this year to vote for men like Ihmsen
and Vidaver, who exist politically sole
ly by the grace of their master S whim.
Thousands of these Republicans stayed
away from the polls. Other thousands
voted for Tammany candidates to ex-
press their disgust with fusion which
spelled party shame. AS a consequence
Tammany and Murphy have swept the
county, and Murphy has proved to his
followers that he can win either with
Hearst or without him.
So far as Mr.. Parsons and the Repub
lican organization were rebuked for
their sordid alliance with Mr.. Hearst,
there will be few to lament their mis-
fortune. But so far as their folly in
sured the defeat of such an excellent
public servant as Judge Whitman, the
result is a misfortune.
For two years Mr.. Hearst has been
seeking vindication, and now he has
it.
he can no longer be IN doubt as to
New York City's opinion of a political
leader who is willing to accept a nomi.
nation one year from man whom he
denounced as criminal and is willing
the next year to enter into an alliance
with a party which he had previously
claimed was owned body and soul by
the corporations. There is point in
politics beyond which cynical hypoc
risy cannot safely be carried. and Mr..
Hearst has found it. He will have no
occasion this time to ask for recount.

For the same week last year they were
only 1920, 1882, showing an increase
of $27s,s74s4.
This showing has been complete

APPLES BY THE CARLOAD.
Ryan & Newton Sending Out Large
Quantities East.

Ryan ( Newton, Spokane firm, are
busily engaged boxing and shipping ap-
pies. They occupy part Of the Hubbard
feed mill, near the flour mill. Several
men are employed. Three carloads have
been forwarded, and Is more are to fol-
low as soon az they can be assembled
and cars be gotten to ship them. Some
difficulty is found in getting "shooks,"
the local mill furnishing them as fast as
they can be turned out, still the cry goes
up for more. The railroad company
seems to be unable to furnish all the cars
needed, as complaint is made in that di-
rectiOn.
Ryan & Newton pay 81 box for ap-
pies {. o. b. They collect from the small
growers surrounding CoIfax, of which
there are many. The apples are shipped
principally to idaho and Montana.
Their is busy place.
