Wi : MAY expect the findings of the court martial upon the Kinking nf the Victoria to bo given to the imbliu about the sumo time that the decision of the Bering sou nrbitrator.s apponru. JP ANY bashful cili/on of those United States lm failed to disclose his panacea for the prevailing monetary troubles , lot him waste no time in unfolding ita merits to a patient and enduring people. THK next two weeks will witness an unprecedented influx of immigrants into Washington. The whole olllcial house hold of the president will bo recalled to welcome the advent ot the all-poworfiil congressman. THE governor of Iowa cannot find jilaces enough for tluwo who want to bo appointed deleirutus to the free bilvor convention to bo hold at Chicago this weok. The bilvoritos are not partial to free silvery they will accept. . any.Uuug , that Is free , particularly an opportunity to tnko in the World's fair ineiilenttilly. A LITTLE Iowa town claims the dis tinction of having three duly appointed postmasters ready to take charge of Uncle Sum's ) postal business at that point. Placing the ratio of democratic oflico- eookors to available poslolllr.eH at three to one , this may supply an outlet that will greatly relieve the pres.-itiro upon the patronage bureau of the Poatolllco department. KANSAS populists propose to gain members for their organization by loan ing seed to such of them as de.-iiro it .without security and without Interest. A little experience with thisschomo and the loss of a few dollars worth of wheat and corn will probably cure a few of their mania to have the government make large loans to individual /armors on practically similar terms. RUSSIAN exhibitors at the World's fair contend that their exhibits are btlll In the theory of the law upon Russian soil. That may possibly bo the theory upon which they have proceeded , but the dilloronco between theory and practice - tico was neVer more nptly illustrated than when the United States customs ' olllcials insisted on wooing that the laws of this country wore respoolod. THK resort to violence among the striking Kansas minors is to bo depre cated by nil law-abiding olti/ons. The employment of force to right tlio wrongs of labor has never had more than a tem porary HUOCOSS. Laborers who enter upon a conlllct with their employers need raoro than anything else the moral support of the community. Lawless violence lence servos only to alienate this indis pensable usslstniieo. TiiKcomnilHHlonor of patents has dis missed the disbarment proceedings in stituted Homo months ago against William E. Siimmils , commissioner of patents under the Harrison administra tion. From the very beginning tlioso proceedings had the aspect of splto work. r * Democratic paporn tried to make politi cal capital out of the charges filed , but the present decision vindicates tlio ox- commissioner and dinclosoa the potty intrigue of his accusers. THK anticipated dlllloulty moutlonod by railway inon in connection with the operation of the now maximum freight rate law as likely to arise in relation to rates between points joined by two or more competing roads is largely a oroa- tlon of the imagination. The law does i\pt \ llx the rate per inllo , It merely llxoa the maximum rate per mile. So where there are two roads of different mileage seeking for the same trafllo there is nothing to prevent the longer % Jjno from adopting the rate matlo on the busts of the shorter mileage. What the law forbids is that the shot-tor road should try to keep its rutoi up to the standard of the longer one. Competing roads muy unlto upon a single rate pro vided it ia not higher than the maximum iixod for the shortest mileage. If the longer line prefers to sacrifice its busl BOSS by refusing facilities equal to thos of Us oompotitord , It will bo harming n one but itself. "How Not t Help the Poor" Is the subject of a lecture delivered at this year's great Clmulauqua that has a pecu liarly practical interest. The lecturer , President l-'inloy of Knox college , has had , an secretary of th ? Charities Aid Society of Now York , plenty of actual oxxjrl6nco | in the field of experimental philanthropy , and his remarks como , therefore , with an authoritative recom mendation. Pauperism , ho says , ia possible only in an Individualistic state. It has no plnCo in the social istic program , for communism , and socialism make the individual the servant or pensioner of the state. They sacrifice individual freedom and subject the earnings of thecfllclonttotho claims of support from the inefficient. It is in olTcctcompulsory philanthropy and com pulsory philanthropy cannot , In Presi dent Finloy's view , be too greatly depre cated. Tlio prime fault to bo found with any system of compulsory support by the public is that it falls utterly to accom plish the objeut for which it is intended. Instead of reducing pauperism it tends to increaseit. . It invites undue reliance upon that sup port. It deprives relief of that moral benefit which true charity confers on both receiver and giver. It temlu to create : i permanent olnss of paupers and to bring others into that class. From these considerations President Flnloy derives the following rules as consistent with theory nnd justified by experience : tsot to have any motive in giving before tlio peed of tlio poor ; not to give to a beggar simply bocnuso hois a beggar ; not to thrust any other mombcr of the family upon the poor rate ; not to kill the soul of man by feed ing hi ! stomach ; not to rob the poor to feed the patipi'r. If wo will consider the practical bear ings of these maxims wo shall find that they are constantly violated by modern society We must confess that the number of gifts nuulo for the purpose of parading the name of the giver , or in order to derive some advantage political or social , is appallingly largo bestdo the number given in unostentatious charity. Look at the crowd of impostors who demand pecuniary sympathy for physical defects , loss of limbs , blindness , etc. . which they regard as a stock in trade. Ask how many times wo have given money to bcggar.s simply "to bo rid of them. " Count the hypocrites who profess relig ion merely to feed from tlio charitable funds of the church. Finally think of the poor who are forced to contribute in taxoa to the support of the government while many loss poor , less worthy , lois industrious continue to draw assistance from the public relief fumls or live in apparent idleness at the charitable institutions of the btato and county. Only recently an inmate of the local county poor farm asked for a vacation with permission to return because ho was tired and wanted tJ take a look at the country. Is it any wonder that well intentioned laborers 01 the verge of the poor line find them- olvcs encouraged to step over that line und to taste of the unearned food ? Our rholo .system of public nnd private jharity heeds thorough btudy and vigor- oils'overhauling at all spots whioh that btudy uhall show to bo weak. DKSl'UILIXO S/.1.V. _ Tb an American at this distance from the fiodt of the Siamese trouble tlio vhole affair appouit * very much like a omjiest in a teapot. Ho cannot appre ciate the significance of a colonial policy because the United States lias had no ioloules to protect , nor has it over at- umpted to gain a foothold in the east. The dillieiilty which is creating such a stir in the capitals of Europe originated the murder of a French olllcor of the native militia in Siam , and certain other [ illeged aggressions committed against French vessels stationed in the Siamese waters. Those wore resented , and led to nn open conflict , which lias been approved in the French chambers. Under ordinary circum stances the penalties for treaty violations of this kind would bo the payment of indemnities by the offending govern ment and a disavowal of the acts coupled with assurances of future respect for such treaty obligations. This much the Siamese government is perfectly willing to do. 13ut Franco will not bo satisfied so easily. She demands in addition the cession of a most valuable district of Siamese territory territorial acquisition is the cliiof part of her ultimatum. It is a matter of history that the French people can almost always bo diverted from any existing discontent at homo by the pur suit of any policy which bids fair to extend the eclat of Franco abroad. If to that can bo aJ(16d the hope of terri torial acquisition the government can bo nearly certain to stlilo with It all movements that threaten political dis turbances at or near tlio scat of govoni- mont. No nation ever felt moro keenly the loss of territory than did Franco the loss of Alsace 'and Lorraine. Nor did I any nation ever rejoice moro ever potty acquisitions than did Franco ever her gains in Italy and Africa. The whole policy of the third Napoleon has boon explained by some to have been an effort to quiet the people in Franco by making demonstrations of his power in different parts of the world. Viewed from this standpoint , the present position of Franco may bo taken to 1m largely a political move und us such her demands will bo unreasoning and arbitrary , Nothing short of an apparent victory ever her supposed foes will sufllco to maintain the government in the confidence of its con stituents. Tlio possible consoqtionoos to Slum will receive no consideration what ever. ever.Regarding Regarding the problem from the side of international diplomacy , we see that the interests of all the European powers are so interwoven that no one of them can act without the intervention of the others. Franco may look upon the in terference of England as unwarranted , but there is an undercurrent to the eastern question whoso Influence cannot bo ignored. England and Russia have for decades disputed the claim to the clientage of the eastern mon archies. Russia und Franco have been co-oporuting in their foreign policies of late and the strengthening of Franco iii the oust would in Eng land's eyes inure to the botiaflt of Knt slu should It come to another conflict ever the eastern question. Thin throws Boino light on the report that Huiila is moving to the assistance of Franco , while the Hrltlsh cabinet Is being dally interrogated In Parliament as to the status of the Siamese affair. In all this Intrigue the righto of the king ot Slam are totally neglected and Franco is re garded as amply justified In forcing a cession of territory. China alone , al ways jealous of the Incroa ing foreign power in Asia , Is said to have olTorotl to support Slam In case war Is begun. Sorl- oils hostilities , however , are unlikely when wo romombcr the weakness of the Siamese king. The European powers will take It upon themselves to decide whether or not Slain Is to bo despoiled. MERIT IX T11H VUHbW 3ERV1CR. Tlio last administration wont further than any of Its predecessors in observ ing the principle of promotions for merit in the public service. It was sup posed that the good example would bo emulated by the present administration , but thus far there has not boon mani fested by the heads of the departments generally a disposition to do this. On the contrary , tlio course pursued up to this time In most of the departments as to this matter of promotions for merit has been very unsatisfactory to civil service reformers , the moro candid nnd outspoken of whom do not hesitate to make their displeasure and disappoint ment known. The organ of the National Civil Sorvlco Reform association in its last issue refers to the changes that have been made in regard to the promotions in the Treasury , Interior and Postofllco departments , and says of the last two that while the rules regu lating promotions mndo by the last ad ministration had not boon formally revoked , "they have boon con temptuously ignored when the head of either department has had any promoting meting to do. " This does not nncos- sarily imply that there have been absolutely no promotions for merit , be cause that is not the case , but it moans that the matter has not boon subject to any rules , as was the case under the preceding administration , being loft entirely to the discretion of the heads of departments , who have not always observed the principle of promoting for merit. The first attack upon the methods adopted by the last administration for promoting civil service reform was made in the Treasury department when Secretary Carlisle transformed and perverted the competitive examination system into an active spoils agency. That system had worked admirably and there was no reasonable objection to it. It had resulted in establishing a higher standard of efficiency in the department than ever before , because every man in the service who had an ambition to rise understood the value of good and faith ful work. The virtual abandonment of the system has naturally had a demoralizing effect and it is said that the department has been moro or less under a roigii of terror ever since the new administration c.imo in. The next attack upon the reform adjuncts which came into existence under Presi dent Harrison was in abolishing the board of uromotions in the Interior de partment. This board was created for the express purpose of regulating all promotions' in accordance with the merit of those Booking advancement. It consisted of representative members of the department who were charged with the duty of examining all candidates for promotion. Open competition was re quired , and the rank taken regulated the order in which promotion was made , the only modifications being slight in creases in percentage for moro than five years service in the do- pa'rtmont and for a good army record. The system was framed to moot the needs of the department and to en able employes to secure advancement through meritorious and thorough work , without regard to political pull. It was designed to promote olllcioncy and it had this ellcct , while it was absolutely nonpartisan. The Postoflico depart ment has not gone so far as the Treasury and the Interior in "contemptuously ig noring" reform methods , but the policy there has not commanded the unquali fied approval ot the more earnest re formers , nnd indeed in none of the de partments have the spirit and purpoeo of civil service reform boon as carefully regarded as Its friends had hoped. Tlio betrayal of the merit system can hardly fail to operate unfavorably to the public service. It takes away ono of the strongest incentives to efficiency and fidelity. It Is easy to understand that anew now administration may bo irresistibly tempted to undo the methods of its pro- docoHsor , so far as it may bo practicable to do so , especially when it represents different politics , but unless it lias some thing equally good or bettor to substi tute it must not expect intelligent popu lar approval. OiV TIIK I'OSTUFFIOE. The importance of the postofflco de partment under all the grout govern ments date's from the Introduction of popular rates for the transmission of letters , . Reduction of the postal foes was only possible when joined to a rad ical change in the methods of conduct ing the business. Before the reforms begun by Sir Rowland Hill in 1840 pack- agon and lottoM were everywhere sent at the expense of the receiver nnd the charges were collected upon delivery. Under the now system the charges hud to bo prepaid by moans of affixing ad hesive stamps to the envelopes , nnd the arrangements were further simplified by eliminating in general the element of distance. Graduation according to weight was rotulnod and it is hero that a loophole has been discovered for the most recent abuses nf the system , The rule of our postoftlco has boon to forward without question oyory letter or package which exceeds the weight limit for single rates of postage and to collect the deficiency at the point of delivery. The ever weight is expected to bo noted at the oIHco of mulling und "rated up" by marking the'postage duo upon the wrapper so that the shortage may bo promptly discovered at the receiving oftlco and there collected. The first abuse of this regulation occurs where I people habitually puss overweight pack ages or Icttorfl through Iho mulls and purposely protmy ofW mlt of pmtago in the hope Pint it mallnciioo duloolloti by the postal olorkj iifd roaoh its destina tion without further chargo. Even If the shortage Is discovered no great In- convlenco is suffered as the sum Is In most cases collected frl > m the receiver and not from the samlor. The penalty moreover is insignificant , although the postage duo should bo demanded of the sender. On each individual package tlio loss is almost Infporcoptlblo but on the whole postal buMho.ss of the coun try It mounts up tel a 'largo figure. An experimental tall uiulortakon at ( Wheeling recently showed in One week 150 pieces of llrst1 'class ' mall matter singly , doubly , trebly or four-fold over weighted which the postmasters had neglected to rate up. Another abuse of a similar character Ifas found a scope of action inside the postal service itself. Postmasters who keep country stores make it a practice to order goods sent to them by mall with only ono unit of postage prepaid. If the sending office has overlooked the matter of rating up , ho is careful not to charge himself with postage duo. If It has been so rated up , ho affixes and cancels the necessary due stamps , adds the amount to his quarterly account nnd draws his regular commission for cancellation as provided by law. Some postmasters have carried on a regular business with the aid of this scheme. Conscientious people who appreciate the benefits of the postal service would not of course resort to those practices. When , as with us , the postofilco is run so as to bring in no moro revenue than vit costs the deficiency must bo made up by congressional appropriation that is by taxation. The gain of the unscrup ulous becomes the loss of the honest. But to refuse to forward any mail matter unless fully prepaid would inflict an un necessary hardship upon these who un intentionally put overweighted packets into the post. Uncertainty as to the fact of transmission would demoralize our whole business community. The abuses must be wiped out by the employ ment of moro officiant postal officials , by a moro stringent enforcement of the regulations now in operation and above all by developing among the people amore moro healthy regard for rules which are made for their own advantage. CIVIC DUTIKS UF CITIZENSHIP. It is noLu new charge that Prof. James Bryce brings against us in common with citizens of free governments generally in his article in the July Forum. He criticises our indifference to "civic duty , " the neglect to fit oilrsolvos for render ing to the state suclr > servico3 as our capacities permit iv .alltimes , , "oven to our hurt and loss. " There is ground for this stricture , but Itis to bo doubted that this carolcssnoa,4 or neglect either exists now or ever will to such an ex tent as to endanger our "fabric of national greatness : " 'Nevertheless it must bo admitted to bp the source of many of the imperfections and evils of popular government."This homo side of patriotism , this sqbor/uid quiet sense of what a man owes , to the community into which ho is born , and whioh ho helps to govern , has'beon ' found specially hard to maintain 1'iij modern times and in largo countries , " ho says. la a vast population like ours individual action seems too small a unit in the sum of na tional action to bo worth regarding. Then there is nothing romantic or at tractive in the methods in which wo arja now called upon to show our aovotion to the stuto. "What can bo loss romantic and , to tlio outward eye and ordinary apprehension , loss inspiring than the methods of our elections meetings of committees and selections of candidates , platform harranguos , and hunters up of careless voters , and marking crosses on bits of paper in hideous polling booths , with sawdust sprinkled floors. " Further party spirit "tends to overlay , if not to supersede , national spirit in these self- governing countries whoso politics are worked by parlies. " These are sorao of the obstacles to the cultivation of civic duty that ho recognizes as existing , save in times of public danger from external sources , or of an aroused public indig nation against some marauder on the public rights. Then natriotio en thusiasm and devotion assort themselves. The lesson the professor would teach , however , is that "civic virtue is not the loss virtue because she appears today in sober gray and no longer in the gorgeous trappings of military heroism. " Ono should bo willing to place ono'a country's interest "above party fooling , or class fooling , or any other sectional passion or motive. To bo willing to take trouble , porsonaland oven tedious trouble , for the well-governing' of every public community ono belongs to , bo It a township or parish , a ward or a city , or the nation as a wholo. " To excite a proper interest in publio affairs Prof. Bryce thinks Is the duty of the school master. If this love for the nation is to bo inspired at all It must bo in youth , for later absorbing cares leave but scanty opportunity. So ho would have the coming citizen taught what his country is and the nature of Us govern ment , the history of Its'growth a l de velopment , the sacrlfljbbi of its patriots ' ' and heroes , und a fl'co'i-o bf other things to aronso youthfulJ/prido in the greatness - ness of his countryVjj f * It is strange thutja'nan { of such recog nized .Intelligonco'ianrt knowledge of methods of publiQ't ' ' Sehlng us Prof. Brycofhould doomUiWorth ( while to thus admonish the poopM'of'u country whore the very methods h'ii gosts have pre vailed ever since the establishment of our publio school sj ttni. There is not a country district rolnfy'Jwhoro ) ' it is not the aim of the toach'eriio lift the pupils "beyond the potty 'yj/clb of their per sonal interests to w'lprociato the true width and splendor of national life. " The professor has disclosed u lamentable luck of familiarity with the public school system of this country. It maybe bo wise for the touchers of public schools In England or some of the other nations of Europe to listen to his advice , but it is very like pointing out the necessity of touching the alphabet us the bogln- nlng of the primary rfystorn to thus address - dross himself to American school touch ers. However , what lie suyu to impress the public respecting the evils of indo lence und IndilToronco of the citizen to public a'Tulrs is 6uf7Klontly : justified , They are a greater tnonnro to the exist ence of tlomooraelo * than Ignnrniico , There arc inon thuHuulpulilo and It U the "rojpoi'tablo , woll-nu'iiutug , ou\vgolng oltluon" who chiefly constitutes this reprehensible class. If mioh men would but assort themselves many of the ovlls of misgoverned cltlns and states , us well of the nation , would soon disappear. The man who nogleuU his civic duty is not n good citizen. COMI'AUKD with our own , Hrltlsh cab inet officers nnd the higher grades of English government servants have nothing to complain of In the way of salaries. Gladstone and the other sec retaries associated with him In Iho min istry receive Si'i.OOO each. Our cabinet officers have only $8,000 respectively. The speaker of the English Commons is a poor parliamentarian and great blun derer , yet ho gets $ . ' 10,000 n year against $3,000 and mileage paid the speaker of the house of representatives. When Sir Charles Russell , as attorney general , draws $30,000 annually , with fees amounting to several thousands moro , It does not seem strange that one qualified to fill that position should plocoout tlio meager salary paid-in this country wltsh retainers from wealthy corporations or emoluments of place In a railway direc torate. Even many of the undersecre taries in the various departments of the English cabinet are paid salaries greater than these paid justices of the supreme court in the United States. And yet there are these who complain of largo salaries paid public olliuials in this country. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THE changes about to"bo inaugurated in the courses of study In the Omaha High school are changes in the right direction. While it is desirable to give the pupil beginning his advanced work some latitude in order that his personal character may liavo play in his educa tional development , yet the majority of such students have not the mature minds that will enable them to make a proper selection of studies and many of thorn are unable to secure any assistance in this matter at homo. Under such circum stances the guidance of the instructors nnd the rules laid down in the cur riculum must bo rolled upon to prevent a detrimental choice of studies to bo pursued. Many pupils would if pormltted drop entirely the study of the English branches , and from this standpoint the inclusion of English in every combination that maybe bo made is a most wise move. Wo must not make the mistake of thinking that High school pupils are pulllciontly devel oped to derive bouollt from the unmodi fied introduction of recent university methods.

Men who have amassed colossal fortunes In mining or raked n hundreds of thousands in Denver dirt mvo vied with each other "in building nonuniontnl dwellings of gray granite , rod sand stone and brlclt in every conceivable style of architecture. Those elegant'homes ire nearly all surrounded by spacious , well : opt lawns , shaded by evergreen mountain line. line.Tho The business center of Denver also speaks volumes for the matchless public spirit and enterprise of her men -of means. On this score Omaha's millionaire mossbncks could lo well to emulate the example of Denver's men of wealth. Nearly every man who has matlo n fortune in Colorado has planted hundreds of thousands on Iho streets of Denver , In stone , brick und nortiir , in structures that will endure long after the builders have passed away. While noting the points of vantage of Jonver I must not omit a cursory survey of icr manufacturing facilities , which , con sidering the cheap coil and abundant min eral resources rf Colorado , are , however , lot as extensive as these of Omaha. Den ver manufactures vitrified sewer pipe and ire brick on a largo scale. Her Iron foun- Iries have supplied structural iron 'or buildings both in this city and other Colorado towns. Her machine shops have turned out mining machinery. Her paper nlll , established only two years ago , is kept msy with Colorado orders for news print ind her smelting works have given employment to several hundred men , L'wo of her manufacturing ventures i cotton mill and woolen mill which had been u active operation several years have re cently closed down. They will probably re sume when the financial stringency(1has ( lassod away. Dut all the industrial ,100111 corns of Denver when in full blast dd not employ as many men as the South Omalia stock yards nnd packing houses. All the Douvor smelters nnd foundries find mills lon't carry as many men on their pay rolls us the Union Pacific shops. Tlio most strik- ng difference between Omaha and Denver is n the relative numoor of workingmen. There are many suggestive features in and Vbout Denver that commend themselves to i visitor from Omaha. There is not a wooden sidewalk in all Denver. The side walks on residence streets are uniformly of stone , nnd these on the business streets either stone or granolithic. Stone is doubt- ess cheaper hero , but the difference in cost s comparatively trilling. Denver is not dis- Igured and obstructed by n forest of un sightly telegraph , telephone , motor and electric lighting poles. The electric lamps ire suspended from iron towers. The tele graph , telephone and motor poles are uni form in size and neatly painted. 1'ho street railway cars of Den ver nro handsome and commodious. They are moreover built right hero and built of a unique pattern. The cab and carriage service of Denver is decidedly moro otonlro than that of Oinnha. Tlili may bo largely duo to the intensive tourist intron. ntjo , but cheapness Is nUo an Important fac tor. Tlio charge for a two-hnrsn cnn-lag * from the depot to the Drown.Palace hotel , fully ono mile , for thrco persons wns only Tli cents or W cents | ior passenger. Denver 1ms outstripped Omalia In tin number nnd slro of great retail stores , hotels and club house * , but her parks ilonot stand comparison v/lth these of Omaha , There is no shady grove In or around Denver - vor like Himscoin park , Denver oscols In the number of costly residences , hut she is most decidedly behind Omaha In tltn number of homes owncil by woi-klugmon. Wlilio Omaha has from 11,000 to i > , OOJ .small but cosy waeoworkers * dwellings. Denver ac'ircoly has as many hundreds , Nearly all her tellers llvo In routed houses. Hut Denver possesses qualities that must nl ways command rospcct nnd ndmlr.itlon. She lias matchless pluck nnd boundless au dacity. In the very midst of the most depressing - pressing p.uilo , with most of her banks suspended , her commerce almost par.ilyrcil und her business men illii- tr.u-tml nnd cra/od by the silver col- lapso. Denver still keeps up a bold front and senns out to the world the mosl glowing pen pictures of her marvoloui resources and brilliant prospects.

This fact would scarcely Interest anybody in Nebraska if It were not for the other fact that the now chief's name li Aaron W. Kellogg , who will bo ro- mombcrcd by Nebraska politicians ns the private secretary of Governor D.ivlil Hutier. Mr. Ivollogg's career In public Ufa in Ne braska closed rather abruptly with the mem orable impeachment of the governor , nnd ho soon thereafter shook thu dust of Nebraska from his shoes and migrated to Colorado , whcro ho has been engaged m mining nnd real estate speculations. While I was still reading the paper th it nnnounccd ICollogg's appointment , tlio boll boy handed mo the card of W. 1 . Kennedy , who was a mombot of the scnatu that tried D.xvld Duller and had responded "guilty" on the impeachment charges when his na'no was called by Presi dent of the Senate Isa.ic S. Hasc.ill. Mr. Kennedy , subsequent to that historic trial , became editor and proprietor of t ho PupHhou Times , i-or the nast twelve years ho has been n resident of Colorado. Ho is still halo nnd hearty , anil looks as much like the pic ture of Diogenes ns ho did in the 70's. Three days of tourist rambles among the clilTs , gorges and canons of the Rockies would afford ampin scope for graphic sconio descriptions , but want of time compels me to deprive the readers of Tun BEE of that pleasure-sunice it to say wo have made the fascinating tour ever the Loop , passing through Golden , Idaho Springs , Georgetown and up to Silver I'lumo over as m.istorly a piece of engineering as may bo seen any- whcro on the gloho. Wo have taken in Col orado Springs , Maultou , Pike's peak , the Garden of the Gods and Cheyenne canon and passed a most delightful evening in the Casino at Uroadmoro , und while listening to tno enchanting music in the auditorium ol the Casino , recognlod in the leader of this famous orchestra an old acquaintance , Mr. } ' " ' " ' FYanko , who some yours ngo sojourned in Omaha , und more rt-cently has been loading violinist with Anton Soldi nnd Theodore Thomas , nnd musical director ot Ambcrg's theater In Now York.
