"Indeed, it seems to me that wo are" already embarked On a . long needed financial reformation, which like the religious reformation of the Middle Ages, will through much cruelty work out good in the end. To the need of such a reformation the public are ful ly awake." The election of Mr. Hughes, Mr. Fish says, shows the temper of the people in this state and he declares It Is vastly stronger elsewhere. The selection by Mr. Hughes of Mr. j Keep as superintendent of banks J proves, according to Mr.- Fish, that Stuyvesant j the governor recognises the public demand for moral financial reforms.

I Time will work out the end," writes Mr. Fish In conclusion. ent "Despite Uie unprecedented output of gold." Mr. Fish writes, "money is dear the world over and dear because of blgh prices and activity in trade." Other causes for dear money are foam! in the fart that Great Britain has not fully made up its losses In the Boe war that Japan and Russia, par ticularly the latter, have scarcely be gun to recover from the effects of the war and that within the past year there have been tremendous losses of capital due to the calamities in San Francisco and Valparaiso. Turning to our own country, Mr. Fish writes that New York, especially that part of it known as ,"Wall street," has absorbed and. Is absorbing more than its share WOULD FOLLOW MEXICO. American Mining Congress to Intro due Laws of Southern Neighbor, DENVER, Jan. 2. Secretary James F. Galbreath, Jr., of the American Mining Congress, has received word from A. G. Canllaio, director gener al of the International Bureau of Finance of Mexico, to the effect that the Mexican Association has agreed to the alliance offered them whereby the American and Mexican associa tions undertake tn wnrk tnirpfhnr in of the loanable funds. Of the stock .... wiping Investors from either country existing Mr. Fish says "The New York Exchange has ceased to be jk free market where buy ers and sellers fix prices through the ebb and flow of demand and supply, and has become the plaything of a few managers of cliques and pools to such an extent that for months past every announcement of increased divl- j dends of stock distributions and of rights has been met by a fall in prices, j "The inventing public are, and re-1 main, out of the market, not because of ventures in Industrials, in electric j railways or in suburban real estate the speculation in each of which was checked months ago nor yet because j of the more recently pricked bubble i In mining shares, but simply because j of the distrust which even those pos- j sessed of ample mean? have of the j methods of corporate finance now in ! vogue in New York. That Europe-J shares this distrust of those methods j Is shown by its outcry against the j misuse of American finance bills." ; Writing of the political possibility, j Mr. Fish says that so far as the po- j to get complete information about j mining investments. Under the agree ; ment, any Mexican capital seeking In- vestment In America will be directed j to the Amercan Mining Congress for I information and In a like manner the mining congress will direct American capital to the Mexican assocation if i any investor comes to Its attention. ! One of the objects of this movement I is to still further limit the scope of the wildcat speculators. The Mexi can association guarantees safety to j capital Invested in its republic and insofar as possible the American Min ing Congress will do the same. Ac codin to Mr. Galbreath, American capital in Mexico is much more safe tnan in America. He says the .Mex ican mining laws are much more lib eral in treatment of mining capital yet tney protect trie rights or cap ital much more effectually than in America. The congress hopes by in troducing Mexican ideas in mining into this country gradually to make tne American system as effective as the Mexican.

I). 0., January The annual meeting of the National Board for the Promotion of Jtltlo Prac tice which will take place In Washing ton. January 2. promises to be an event of much Interest to the rlile world. Two of the Importunt matter to come before the Hoard are the time and place for the next National Match, and the weapon that shall be used In the National Team Match and the Na tional Individual Match. The militia has not yet been armed with the new rllle. "Model of 1903." as it Is techni cally known but arrangements are pro grossing to the end that Is hoped by the time spring rang? practice sets In the militia will have laid aside the Krag for the "New Springfield. " Na turally there Is room for discussion of this Interesting point. The army has had the New Springfield for some time, Indeed It was prepared to use It In the National Matches last year, but was compelled to use the Krag because the militia na1' nmning else. I ne prnm object of the National Matches Is to enable the regular and the citizen sol dl'rly to meet on eqti.il footing and under uniform conditions. Therefore the arms and ammunition must lie I dentical, and so the army laid aside its new gun and shot with the Krag. But as the army hus had the New Springfield for some tlmA nnd th Na tional Guard will not get It until Spring there may be some question as to whe ther the militia will be able to secure a satisfactory amount of practice b' fore the National Match. It Is thought however, that this objection, If there Is any, can be overcome, and It Is high ly probable the New Springfield will be Issued. While thu place of holding the next annual match will be discussed It will doubtless be referred to a committee. Fort Riley, Kansas, Sea dirt. New Jer sey, and Ohio will be considered. Th-re is almost unanimous disposition to move the National Match from place to place, both to give the marksmen variety, and because wherever It Is hel Interest In rllle shooting Is great ly stimulated. It will be years before every State will have a range sufficient to accommodate these matches, espec ially as th- entry list is constantly In creasing, hut as they complete their ranges, made possible by Increased ap propriation, many think they should bo encouraged by being given th Nation al Match. As the National Rifle As sociation, the governing body of all ci vilian rifle clubs, holds its matches at the same time as the National Board, the two events attract rlil'mcti from all parts of the rnltwl States. Home of those interested beli.-ve t'origress hould establish a National Kille Bang-. near Washington, for the National. Matches, something on the order of the British range at, Rjsl, y, where thou sands of rnaiknien gather for the Bri tish National Match Tills propo sition is still in embyro, but may bi .seriously considered some .lay. Another question likely to In- con sidered by the National Hoard Is the advlsiblllty of continuing the large mo n'-y prizes In the National Individual Match. Military rifle shooting Is such a comparatively new sport, so to speak one htiUilcred francs by making a com plete score, Tlmt mentis quite a bit to a Kvls and llvy keep up their pruc tlce. The novel iiinent niakes wood llic difference between t!i, entry fe.. ami the I'lUi'S. A question Hint lins excited smite In terest Is Hie possibility of a ehaiute be ing made In Hie ainiitiitiltloii used In the national matches. Some claim that military ammunition mamiCo 'in - ed by private makers Is superior to that turned out at government aie- mils, i u Iters maintain thai luilid mad,, carttlilgex nyK superior to ma chine made, whether of government or private mumifucturi'. It certainly would be ati Interesting, If no! u cop. elusive test, of the merits of tlti'S' claims, If the various kinds could he used In the National Matches, Inn a care Is taken that condition shall In equal, there seems to bo no chance that anything but government ammunition will be used. Tills matter Is there fore not likely to come before the Na tional Board, although It makes an In teresting topic of discussion inuoitg the National (luardsmen. AMUSEMENTS.

He delivered tin address In which he mentioned the growing friendship of Italy and France, but made no allusion to Italian sympathy with France In her church troubles. The fact that he made no allusion to this trouble Is deemed significant, as such an allusion would be Interpret-' ed as encouragement to the Social ists and Bepubllcans In Italy to fol low Prance's leiul la separating state and church.

For 1906 some patriotic-minded gentlemen made up a purse of $2,040, which was addd to the prizes provided by Congress for the National Individual Match and thus the first prize was brought up to $1,- 000. There Is a guarantee of the satin? amount of added money f.,r several years, by which time it is expected Congress will make some provision for prizes suitable to the growth of Inter est in practice. One of the ways In which the Swiss sustain Interest In rif le practice is by permitting any citizen to shoot a match on any Sunday. He pays so much down, about five francs.
