Wm J. JJryan is the most talk
ed of man in the United States.
It looks as though the European
powers intended to divide up
China.
At Dillon, Colorado mercury
registered 40 below zero Tuesday
morning. The coldest ever
known at that place.
Parson Uzzell got over 4000
rabbits out of the Lamar hunt to
give to the poor of Denver tor
Christmas dinner.
The La Junta Tunes has been
merged into the Rocky Ford Rep
ublican, which latter paper ex
poets to become the leading p’aper
of the Arkansas valley.
Dr. Cresswell reports that little
scab exists among sheep in South
ern part of Colorado, and attrib
utes the healthy condition to the
law which compels the dipping ot
sheep.
The wire manufacturers are
forming a trust, lor the purpose
they say, of making their product
cheaper. Probably they do not
intend to perpetrate a huge joke
but it looks like n.
The new quarantine line estab
lished by secretary Wilson runs
along the southern boundary of
Colorado and Kansas and shall be
up from the 15th of January to
Nov 15th each year.
This seeni3 to be a great season
for the formation of trusts. Re
cently a big cracker trust, a paper
trust and a wire trust has been or
ganized. Buy of them and you
will probably get trusted till
busted.
The millionaire packing firm
ot Armour tfc Co., saw a great op
portunity, recently to speculate
in wheat futures. They are just
now delivering the grain and re
nhze a million dollar loss. Belter
stick to pork and beef.
The greeting of Wm J. Bryan
by President Diaz and his minis
ters. was almost as dazzling and
cordial ns would be accorded an
actual ruler. This shows how
foreigners look upon Mr. Bryan
pnd the cause he represents.
Senator Hanna will establish
headquarters at Columbus, Ohio,
till the election ot a senator has
been accomplished. Ihere is lit
tle doubt but that he will succeed
himself in the senate, but it may
cost him a little more money.
Mary E. Lease, of Kansas, an
nounces that she is going to run
for congress m the 7th district,
on the Populist ticket. She gives
it her opinion that “Sockless Jer
ry” cannot be reeleotod in that
district. She would be a promi
nent figure in congress.
Judge Bailey, who ran for gov
ernor last year on the Populist
ticket, announces that hereafter
he will act with the Democratic
party. He believes the next pres
ident will he a Democrat, elected
by the South and West, on a Deqv
pcratic ticket.
The Cubans are reported to have
won a victory over the Spanish,
on the 14th. inst. The Spanish
general Pando, is reported as
saying it will require 100.009 sol
diers to pacify the eastern part of
tlie island.
Senator Chandler sounds a
warning note to the Republican
party in the following style:
“If the secretary ot the treasury
and his single gold standard asso
ciates will cease their demand for
impossible currency legislation.
Congress will pass the necessary
appropiiation bills, probably take
care of Hawaii and Cuba, there
will be no serious party division
during the session and there will
be an adjournment m May.
Business will revive, the balance
of trade will continue in our favor
and the Republican party will, in
November 189 S, elect a majority
of the House in the lifty-filth Con
gress. On (he other hand, if Sec
retary Gage continues to press up
on Congress a bill the object lie
says is first, to commit the coun
try more thoroughly to the gold
standard, and the immediate re
sult of which is to throw doubts
upon the sincerity ot the presi
dent’s declarations in favor of con
tinued efforts to secure bimetal
lism, a political turmoil will arise
in Congress which will split the
now united Republican party into
fragments, while it will unite and
consolidate the now incongruous
of position.”
The Chicago Record’s postal
savings bank bill was introduced
in the house of representatives on
the opening day of the congress
ional session by Representatives
Loriiner, the Chicago membsr of
the house committee on postoffi
ces and postroads. The bill was
referred at once to the postoflice
committee, according to the usual
custom. It was introduced in the
senate a day or two later by
Senator Mason, who is a member
of the senate postoflice com
mittee. It is upon these commit
tees that attention must center
for the present of those interested
in the passage of a law lor the
establishment of the postal sav
ings bank system. The earnest
agitation among the people has
forced upon all the members of
congress consideration of this
subject, with the result that it is
discussed in Washington to an
extent that it never has before.
The chairman of the house com
mittee is an opponent of the postal
bank idea, but other leading mem
bers are friendly to the plan. The
first and, indeed, the severest
test of strength, therefore, must
come in the postoflice committee.
If a postal savings bank bill is re
ported favorably by that commit
tee and brought to a vote m the
house, there can be but little
doubt ot the outcome on the floor.
Fortunately, ns the result ot
popular agitation, and because of
the aggressive spirit which the
lnendsof the measure in congress
are manifesting, the subject is
one that cannot be ignored or
pigeonholed. Never before has
the number ot members actively
interested in the success of this
project been so great. Sentiment
in favor of postal savings banks
seems to be even stronger in the
senate than among the members
of the house. It is expected that
a bill will be reported from the
senate committee without great
difliuulty, with the chances good
for its passage through the senate.
The more that members of con
gress, and especially of the post
office committees, can be made to
feel individually the deep inter
est of the public in this matter
the more likely will they be to
take early action looking to the
establishment of the postal sav
ings bank system.—Chicago liec

A man traveling on a Missouri
train said he could tell by the

“This man here,” said the passen

“Yes,” said the passenger, “that’s

ed the passenger. “That man in

“Correct you are,” said the Pop
ulist. “And t fiat man down

for McKinley.” “No 1 am 1101,“
promptly responded the fellow.
