Assurances are given by members ol
the Douglas elelegatlon that tlie charlei
amendments which are being prepared
by them are solely In the Interest of tin

or personal ends. It is furthermore
given out that the delegation con
templates the introduction eif an entirely
new charter , simple' in form and clearly
Iclinlng the powers , duties and limita
tions of each olllcer and department ol

n tlie Interest of tlio citizens and tax-
layers they will have the linckin ; : of
mbllo opinion , however obnoxious the
oforms may be to parlies Interested in
lerp.'tualing existing abuses. It stands

The confe'"i'ce Hint is to meet In In-
liiestlon of currency reform promises to
lie largely attended. A number of com
mercial bodies have already appointed
lologatos and there is being manifested
i very general Interest in the conference
imong business men. particularly In the
astern and middle state's. This is well ,
feir whether the elellberations of the con
ference shall exert any influence upon
( ingress or not , it is desirable that an
. 'xpresslon of views on the highly Im
portant subject of HIP currency -huiild
lie made at thla time by representative
msluess men of the country.
It Is not proposed that this conference
hall formulate a measure or d-'lajlcd
ilnn of curivncy reform. Its object , as
'Xplained ' by those prominently ideniiiioJ
iVlth the movement , is not to press any
special views , but to draw together in-
Ineiitlal business men of all sections to
; tud.v the present condition of the mone-
ary Interests of the country and to talk
iverthe possibility of such a rooiganla-
tern as shall be for the good of the whole
Country. Says one of the organh'.en-1 of
ho movement : "The Idea is to do for
lie general business of the country what
vise and experienced business men
vould do In considering Iho conditions
if any great corporation which was in-
olved in perplexing dllllcullle.s and to
iresent a simple and uncomplicateMl
cheme for Its reorgniilatloa from a
uslness stamlpnli.l. " As to fiirmulaUn ? ;
L plan , ir Is intended to leave that to a
oiuinlsslon of experts , who shall give
, s much time as Is noi'ded lo ase-rt-ilii
acts and to present to the country a
veil digested and carefully considered
Jan for an entire reorganization of pros-
nt ni"l hucl.s.
Criticism of our currency system Is
lU'oh easier than to devls" a
iractlciiblo plan for remedying the
llegod faults and defects , as Die
( moderation of Hie subject In and out
if congress for years attests. It would
10 an almost hopeless task" to atu nipt
o give in dt lull all of the plans of cur-
ency reform that- have been proposed
luring the past eight or ten years
'hey have come from organizations of
'linkers ' , from treasury ollleials , from
iiisiuess men , and In almost endless
umber from members of congress.
'ho house banking and currency com-
ilttee has at every session of the last
Diner live congresses been literally
ooded with measures for reforming
lie currency , most of which wore K.O
I'tido and Impracticable as to receive
0 attention and none of which proved
1 be acceptable. Yet nnt a few of
lose plans represented tlio careful
tudy ami coiitildurutlou of the subject
by practical financiers and hiislmv
men. Such an experience might wi
persuade one that the alleged faults i
our oiirronry system are either largol
Imaginary or are Irremediable.
It Is possible Hint the coming coi
ference mny be able to point out a s <
lutMn of Hie vexing problem , but. thei
Is not much reason to expect such
result. Ono thing Is certain , If the coi
ference shall have nothing better 1
propose Hum the retirement of tl
government hgnl tender notes nnd Hi
substitution for them of bnnk note
which Is the ossoiillnl part of Hi
scheme of most currency reformers ,
would as well not meet , for Hie ponpl
will not accept nny plan of Hint dim
actor. However , the conference shoul
not be discredited In advance. Hatlir
Is It to bo hoped Hint such a mooting t :
representative business men as I
promised will have practical and bom
llclnl results.

The people of California are hoping fo
a liberal degree of protection from Hi
new larllV. That state was carried b ;
the republicans ehiolly on the protectloi
Issue and it now reasonably expect
that its Interests will receive just con
sldnratlon from a republican oongres
nnd administration. California I.MS a va
ilely of products that are affected favor
ably or unfavorably by the tnrln" . Tin
San Francisco Chronicle says that Hi-
northern portion of the state is a rouloi
of lumber and dairy products and inns
be safeguarded against Canada. Centra
and .southern Califoiula raise sheep , tlm
ber , fmils , sugar beets and other prod
nets , Ill-sides manufacturing a variety o
articles. Those sections are throntonoi
directly by Canada , Mexico , llawal
and .lapan , while tlieir eastern market i :
competed for by Kurope and the Wen
Indies. "California must have protcc
tlon , " says the Chronicle , "have plenty o
It and get it soon. " and It urges the gath
erlug of a tarllV convention to presen
the demands of tlie state to congress.
Other far western state's want protec
tion as earnestly as California. Idaho
Oregon , Montana , Ttaii and Washlngtoi
are all deeply interested In what the next
congress shall do for their various in
terests in tlie new tariff and undoubt
edly they will make their wishes known
at the proper time. Although some ol
these states did not give their electoral
vote to the republican party , but mis
takenly cast It for the cause of free sli
ver , the special Interests of none of them
will be ignored by the republican con
gress. The tariff bill which it will frame
will in the broad"st sense bo a national
measure , Intended to encourage the In
dustrial dove-Iopomcnt of all parts of the
country. The far western states have
suffered even more relatively than othe
sections from the operation of ( lie exhU
Ing tariff. Nearly all their moro impor
tanl Interests have been severely Injutoi
by It. They have learned bettor thai
they ever knew before the value of tlu
principle of protection and it Is saf < > tt
say that nowhere will that principle' In
u the future more llrinly adhered lo tluii
there.

Charges affecting the Integrity of Cltj
ICngiiieor Howell have boon under in
vt'stlgatlon by a special council commit
tee. These charges were' so grave th-i
Manager Yost of the Telephone com
pnny publicly declared in the eounci
chamber when they were made that If
true the engineer should lie dismissed
iinil If false he should be vindicated.
The testimony before Ih" council con
mlttee has fully established the fact
that Engineer Howell had solicited a
subsidy of not less than $10 < ) a montl
for the manager of Hie Kleetrle Llglitln- .
- ompany as inrTnilucom.-nt trrsfnTT Ulsr
LuJliUliW-'iiid support for the coiiec > sioi
isked from the city by the water work- :
iiimpany. These concessions Mr. Howi-I
lias since denounced In uumoa.'urci'
terms.
While the conclusions which the in
vestigating committee has reached have ,
not been divulged it Is currently re
ported that an effort will be made In tlu
pen council to whitewash the onglnoc : * .
Such action would st a pernicious ex-
imple , besides rcllecting upon the conn-
il. The assumption that Kngineei
Howell has rendered service to tin- city
liy suddenly clinnglng front on th.
water works question do..s not excuse
oneluct that di prlvcs him of public con-
Idencoas an olllcer and must dc.stroy the
espect In which he uhuuld be held by
ils sulmrdlnatcs.
The latest argument advanced in favoi
if a ct'i-fow law In that the practice was
irlglnated in the reign of William the
'onqucror and that the present epoch. In
, 'Iew of the recent election , is another
elgn of William the Conqueror. This
s not worthy of serious consideration.
1'ho pre.sent Is the era of William the
'onquered as well and neil her of these
nodetn Williams would ho likely to have

Treasurer Hartley Is more convinced
linn ever that the depository law Is a
leluiis piece of legislation based on
viong llnanclul principles that in prac-
Ice woil ; nothing but loss to the state.
Uid he sivms to have neglected nothing
o make the law a failure and to throw
ipon It responsibility for loss which ,
ind.lho treasury olliclals been vigilant
ml conscientious , the state would never
utve sustained.

Talk of this description Is utterly wlthoi

and the country. The tariff Is purely
InisliiMfl question. When the people doctil
at the polls , as they have Just done , for
revision of the schedules on protection lint
their will must he carried out. And ther
Is but ono way by which this may bo demand
and that Is by a close study of the problet

familiar with the business slum Ion ; I
other words , from business moil their
selves.
The ways and means committee does

Congressman Mondell of Wyoming li.ii
Introduced a bill providing for the eroctloi
of n monument lo the memory of the vie
tlms of the Fort I'hll Kearney massacre
and appropriating ? ! > ,000 for that purpose
The bill Is a meritorious one , and ahouli
receive the support of all western member :
of congress.
It was Just thirty years ago yesterdaj
that terrible marsncrc occurred. Colone
Ketterman and elghty-alx soldiers were lei'
Into an ambuscade near the fort , and ai ;
were ruthlessly slaughtered by the SIou >
under Hed Cloud. It was ono of the mosl
shocking massacres that ever marked the
history of the frontier , and sent a thrill ol
horror along the entire border. As the
News recalls the fact. It has never been
surpassed by any similar occurrence except
the CiMtcr massacre on the Little Hlg Horn
In 1870. The men fought to the bitter end.
Surrounded by hundreds of Sioux they sold
their lives as dearly as possible , but valor
was hopeless against the desperate odds
with which they contended , and not a mun
was left to tell the story of the fight. The
nillcers and men were burled at the post.
It wr.s a sad holiday week for the remnant
ot the little garrison at Fort Phil Kearney.
Thirty years have passed , but the memory
of that bloody conflict Is fresh In the minds
cf all old residents of the frontier. The
ground where It occurred Is historic , nnd
It Is fit that a monument should mark the'
* -pr > t. and tell to future generations the
names of those who fell In defense of the
rrontler. My all means let this bill pass
mil a monument be erected to the men who
tell at Kort I'hll Kearney on that fatal
December day In 3SBC.

which wiped out of existence the last della
of the once magnificent fortune of forme
Senator II. A. W. Tabor nnd the Ilrot np

whoso wealth was made by a lucky turn o

The petition ot Jlro. Smith was ono praj

linHK COXQUBUKD KOUTUNK.
\\'lv i a young man of 25 years Tabor was
flijlitl.iR Krasslioppors and starvation on
a small claim In taMem Kansas. Itecom-
JnR dlsmiatud with that kind of life , and
learning from returning trappers of the
rich gold discoveries made alomj Chcrrj
creek in 1S5S , ho packed his wlfo and few
boloiiRlnRs Into a prnirlo schooner nnd. In
1SI51 , iturted for the new Hi norado. For
many jears he followed with Indlllerent
iiieecss the llcklo goddess through the ex
citing days of ( 'olden , Central City , lllack
Hawk. Ilreckenrldge and liucksklu Joe.
This dlivotiraglng and monotonous exist
ence was followed until 1877 , when ho again
found himself stranded In Ore City , a
placer camp , near the head of California
Biilch. Humors ot the rich carbonate dis
coveries on Kryer , Iron and Carbonate hills
wcro beginning to bo heard. So he sold his
last yoke of oxen , and with the proceeds
opened a little store on the site where Lrnd-
vlllc now stands.
This wa early In the spring of IS7S , and
In April of that year August Illche and
George V. Hook , two shoemakers who had
been prosppectlng for a long tlmo with poor
results , applied to Tabor for a "grub stake , "
agreeing to divide , share and share alike ,
In ail ) thing they might find. Tabor supplied
them with the necessary articles , and the
cobblers went directly to the top of Kryer
hill and began digging. Uvory one laughed
at them for wasting their tlmo and stake
In so unpromising a place. They persisted
In their work , having to make frequent
requisitions upon the store for supplies ,
which were always granted.
About .May 1 , after reaching a depth of
twenty-six feet , they encountered a vein of
rich carbonnto ore , and In that hour the
ramoira Little 1'Ittsburj ; mine became a real
ity. The Mrst wagon load of ere takim nut
sold for $215. and the yield during the last
half of the following July was at the rate of
( S.OOO a week.
KNOK.MOUS I'ROFITS.
When the ere body had been thoroughly de-
, -olopcd its rlcl.ncs.1 waa a revelation to cverj
inc. In September Tabor and llleho bought
look's Interest for $38.000. The mine paid
5100,000 a month In divldr-nds for many
iionth.1. ami tten Tabor sold bis half Interest
o Se-iator J. M. ChalTeo and D. II. Moffatt
'or $1,000,000.
Ho Immediately entered into partnership
with .Marshall Field of Chicago , and hough !
JWJJia.ChryBql.ltO-ailu'-aflJolnlilg clafma. Tile
mat live dividends paid'out of thla property
amounted to $1,000,000 , and Its production
during the eleven months prior to April 1 ,
1SSO , at which tlmo ho sold his Interest for
$1,000.000 , was $3.100,000.
In the ircantlmo ho had become Interrnteil
In the famous Robert K. Lee mine , which
has produced more rich ere than any mine
on the continent outsiilc of the Comstock o !
Nevada. Iho average dally output of the
Lee during Its best clays was $15,000 , or the
startling total of $3.-l"5.000 a year. On tin
ICth day of January , 1SKO , this inlno gave Its
owners In the twenty-four hours $ I28.000 , n
mint never equaled by any mine in the world
Much of this ere ran as high as 11,000 ounces
In sllvor to the ton. and a the white metal
wa3 then worth In the neighborhood of jl "u
an ounce , the enormous profits can readily
bo Imagined.
Ilesldes these fortunes , which came In
rapid succession. Tabor made from $ " OOD -
000 to $ ,1,000.000 out of the Morning Star
Matchless , nnd other Lrcdrlllo mines , and
at one tlmo It was t-aid his dally Income
was greater than that ot any other man
between Now York City and Nnvad.i.
In 1SSO the city of Uenvqr was a prosper
ous town of no.OOO Inhabitants. Tabor's con
fidence la Its future Induced him to coino
hero In that year and begin the erection
of La Vcta place , a terrace , "out on the
prairie. " an the town folks declared , which
cost him In the neighborhood of $1.000.000 ,
and at that tlmo was the handsomest resi
dence went of Chicago. This ho Immediately
followed with the Tabor block and the
Tabor Grand 0-tora house , at a cost of
nearly $2.000,000.
TURN OF TI11J TIDE.
Fortune canio quickly , as did hla finan
cial troubles , and live years ago ho was
compelled to seek assistance from a New
York Insurance company. They advanced
him $100,000. The panic of ISO ! ) Increased
his distress , and a second mortgage for
$375,000 In favor of Mr . Smith was placed
on his property , and In the end she came
Into possession by settling the first and fore
closing her own.
Mrs. Smith not many years ago was Mrs.
Laura Swlckhelmer. She and her husband
David lived at Itlco , a mining cam ) ) In the
bouthern part of the state , and , like Tabor ,
ho was a prospector , nnd was working n
ulalm ho had named the Knturpriee. For
two years he had worked his way Into the
nidi ) of the mountain , hoping with every
blast to open up the vein.
Kach day brought only disappointment
and a steady decrease of supplies and funds ,
until at last not a cent nor a loaf of bread
lomalned In the cabin. With heavy hearts
Iho couple nailed up the cntranco lo the
[ 'ntcrprlso and began preparations to tramp
ant of Iho camp In search of other work.
The old Concord coach which oamo In
from Imj-ango that night brought Mn. .
Swlckhcimcr a letter. On opening It Kho
was almost paralyzed to find a notice from
1 lottery company Informing her that a
ticket the had a month before purchased
Tor $1 had drawn a prize of $ .riH9. ( After
reasonable delay the money came , and
[ hen the question arose as -whether work
should be continued In the old tunnel or a
lew location sought for.
It wai Dually decided to put In ono or
two more shots of dynamite. When the
fflioko cleared away after the Orst explosion
Swlckhelmer could hardly believe his own
yes , for there before lilm was n wall of
ock.so . full of mineral that there could bo
10 mUtake as to Its value. The mlno was
a.slly developed Into a producer , and after
taking out over $500,000 liv- profits It was
sold to a foreign syndicate * for $2,000,000. $
