The soctal liberties of the American
child are one of the evils of this country.
Children's dances and children's parties,
once given in the afternoon have intrud-
ed into the evening, and are sending
thousands of our children to their beds
in ]k state of excitement which means no
good for their future. It stands to roe-
men that no child can, with his or her
unformed strength, burn the candle at
both enda.--Soptember Ladies' Home
Journal.
The republicans of many Colorado
counties are making preparations for
the fall campaign, and a feeling of confi-
dence is prevalpnt that has not been seen
in the state for many years past. Gneof
the best indications is the earnest and
evidently sincere determination to make
the tickets such as are worthy of the
support of every republican voter. Such
a policy is the winning one, and if it is
carried into effect its good results will
certainly be apparent when the votes are
counted next November.--Gazotte.
Democratm Renounce Silver.
As though the democracy of Ohio had
not acted plainly enough the democrats
of Maryland come to the front and pub-
licly turned down silver--and Bryan.
German, an erstwhile supporter of the
apostle of the Platte, leads the eastern
revolt and added to his words, comes a
warning from Minnesota, from the lips
of Charles A. Towns. Towns has re-
nounced the cause of silver, and Minne-
sota falls into line.
And in this state Senator Patterson,
the leader of the democracy, in his pa-
per, the Rocky Mountain News, has pub-
licly stated that there is no hope for sil-
ver in the democratic party.
The party was placed in power here to
misrule the stat~ through its professed
friendship to the white metal. It stands
today without an occupation or visible
moans of support, and that the people
will relegate it to the oblivion in which
it belongs at the next election, there is
no longer any reason to doubt.--Cripple
Creek Times-Citizen.
Afraid of the United States,
Senator Depaw of New York and for-
mer Senator Washburn of Minnesota
say after returning from Europe that the
nations of the old world fear the trade
competition of the~United States. They
are striving to secure as much trade for
themeslvea as possible and they recog-
nize that the United States possesses ad-
vantages which may give it the upper
hand in all competition.
They have reason to fear the Ameri-
cans in such a contest, whatever they
may think of the military and naval
strength of this country, and if it were
practicable some of them would enter
into a combination to head off the Unit-
ed Stat~ and exclude it from markets
which they control. It is improbable,
however, that they will find it practica-
bled'to organize a movement of that kind.
Most of them care too much about the
American market or need too large a
quantity of American food supplies.
Any contest which may provoke bitter-
n~ is to tm avoided if possible, and con-
sequently the outlook for a fierce strug-
gle for trade between the United States
and the leading continental nations of
Europe is not pleasing. If greatly pro-
longed it might develop a feeling of an-
tagonism which would not be easily dis-
tinguisbed from hostilittes. The Ameri-
can people want no war, and it is their
hope that trade relations will be main- i
tatted in ways that will tend to preserve
rather than to disturb peace and friend-
ship between this country and all the
remainder of the world.--Repu blican.
The Postscrtpt~ Man.
James Barton Adams, the poet and
postscript~ man, who has almost rounded
out five full years with The Post, will
leave Denver in the course of a few days
on a leave of absence of from three to
six months. It is safe to say that no
similar writer in the United States has
been so widely quoted as Mr. Adams
and none in that time has produced $o
high an average of poetical material. He
has made itimself par excellence the poet
of the west, the man who reflected its
frontier life because he had been a part
of it ever since the close of the war. The
guage, not the conventional stage lan-
guage which has been invented f,,r them.
but the actual expression which they
used in daily life--products of the soil,
conditim,s and environment. No other
man in the history of newspaper work
had ever before maintained such an
average and turned out such a grade of
poetical work. Daily seven times a week
for unbroken months at a stretch he has
treated the Post readers to a peers,many
of them of the highest order of merit
~nd none of them of mediocre grade.
With a natural turn for poetical expres-
sion, with a fund of resources to draw
from, embracing the period before the
war in Ohio and later on in the frontier
settlements of Iowa, the war itself,
through which he served five arduous
rears, and then the boundkss west,
scouting under Major North with the
Pawnee scouts, dispatebing trains in
Wyoming, prospecting in New Mexico
tramping and traveling wherever his or.
rant fancy called him, he had a ripe and
retried, even a phenomenal experience
to draw from when he came to the Post
and began to systematically draw from
his wealth of material.
Now with a modest little compstense
and realizing the heavy strain under
which he has been laboring he has de
termined to spend the casing three or
six months in California, there to rus-
ticate and recuperate in the balmy cli-
mate with which he has long been famil-
iar. Ha will go forth with the well
wishes of a host of people who know him
only through his work and in that way
have learned to admire him. They will
wish him the best of good luck, speedy
recovery of tone to his nerves and a full
return of that robust health which has
been one of his most marked character-
istics. If there is anything else left that
hs wishes those who have been associat-
ed with him on the Post will hope he
gets it and that in the course of a few
months he will be back at the old stand
doing business as of yore.

Crest HoKe Smtth.
A man from Georgia, one of the deM-
gates to the industrial convention, was
talking about Hoke Smith.
"Down in our state," said the delegate,
"the name of Hoke Smith is held in ven-
eration. Apropos of this they tell a
story about a couple of 'crackers' who
were sitting on a fence talking politics.
It was when Hoko Smith was serving as
secretary of the interior in Cleveland's
cabinet.
"'Hoke Smith's a great man, sah,' said
one cracker.
"'Yeas, sah, he's a great man, but he
ain't es great a man as Grover Cleveland,'
said the other.
"'Yaas, sah, Hoke Smith's a greatah
man than Grover Cleveland.'
"'Wall, ah recon he ain't es great a
man es Gen'l Robe't E. Lee.'
"'Yaas, sah, Hoke Smith's a greatah
man than Robe't E. Lee.'
" 'Ah reckon he ain't es great a man es
[eft'son Davis.'
"Yaas, sah, Hoke Smith's a greatah
nan than Jog'son Davis.'
"A long pause followed, and each
chewed meditatively, i
"'Hoke Smith aiu't es great es God,' i
remarked the doubting 'cracker.'
"This argument seemed a clincher,
but the other 'cracker' proved equal to
it. He spat copiously and then drawled
out: 'Mebbe not--mebbe not. Hoke
Smith's a young man yitI' --Philadel-

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"Something New Under Tile Sun."
All Doctors have tried to cure CA-
TARRH by the use of powders, acid gas-
es, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powdersdry up the mueuous mem-
branes caumng them to crack open and
bleed. The powerful acids used m the
inhalers have entirely eaten away the
same membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure while pastes and oint-
ments cannot reach the disease. An
old and experienced practitioner
who has for many years made a close
study and specialty of the treatment of
CATARRH, has at last perfected a
treatment which when faithfully used,
not only relieves atonce but permanently
cures CATARH by removing the cause,
stopping discharges and curing all in-
flammation. It is the only remedy known
to science that actually reaches the af-
flicted parts. This wonderful remedy is
known as "Snufflels",the Guaranteed Ca-
tarrh Cure and is sold at the extremely
low price of one dollar, each package
contaming internal and external medt-
cine sufficient for a full month's treat-
ment and everything necessary to its per-
fect use.
"Snuffles" is the only perfect catarrh
cure ever made and ie now recognized as
the only safe and positive cure for that
annoying and disgusting disease. Itcures
all inflammation quickly and perma-
nently and ie also wonderfully quick to
relieve hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh, when neglected often leads to
consumption Snuffles will save you if you
use it at once. It is no ordinary remedy,
but a complete treatment which is posi-
tively guaranteed to cure catarrh in any
form or stage if used according to the di-
rections which accompany each package.
Don't delay but send for it at once, and
write full particulars as to your condi-
tions, and you will recmve special ad-
vice from the discoverer of this wonder-
full remedy regarding your case without
