The Colorado Springs Gazette says the
Denver Land Company is great swim
die. The President, S. A, Grant, bought
some worthless land, valued at about 10
cents per hundred acres, 40 miles North
of Denver City, in another county, and
laid out town, calling it North Denver.
His plan was to give away every alter
nate lot, provided the duped person
would send him dollar to pay for the
deed. The scoundrel was arrested for
swindling, but not until he had gathered
in thousands of dollars. Put not your
trust in Western land speCulators. They

Our Republican contemporaries are
not in accord on the third term question.
Toe Dispatch joins heartily in the move
ment to make Grant greater than Wash
ington. The Herald adds it's influence
in the same direction, while the Journal
has a huge lump of disgust in its throat,
which it is making manly efforts to swal-
low. The Journal is never an "out." It
is "in" in all administrations. 1t had
the postoffiCe under Grant, and now has
foreign mission under Hayes. 1t must
therefore accept its porridge with any
seasoning the chief cooks may see fit to
SAVIOR it with. The Dispatch and Herald
are "out," They want new deal, and
they think Grant would be good card
to turn up Columbus Dem.
Quite a difference of opinion exists in
this section among Republicans. Many
declare they will not vote for Grant if
nominated. No third term Presidential
candidate for them; and no such Presi-
dent as was U. s. Grant.

Cantonians are deeply interested in
railways just now. The Valley road is
an accomplished fact thus far, and the
question as to extension engages atten-

citizens favorably, and we doubt not will
be made, for we understand the work of
subscribing stock thereto goes on with
good success. This route will give Can.

The Surrender.

The Democrats are hauling down their
colors. The red flag of revolution doesn't
find favor in the eyes of the people of this
country, and the Congress ienal majority are
finding it out. Although some Incorporate
and incendiary speeches were made at the
Democratic caucus, the general drift Of opin-
ION was that the appropriation bills should be
passed without the riders, and then the po-
lltlcal legislation be embodied in separate
bills and sent up to the Presid ent. He will
OF course sign the appropriation bills, very
likely veto the others, and Congress will ad-
journ.
Thus the issue will be squarely put before
the people. They will be called upon to de-
eide whether the ballot-box shall be turned
over 10 the control of the roughs and repeat
ers of the great cities Of the North, or wheth-
er free and honest vote shall be sustained.
This appeal is all the Republicans have
asked for. They have urged that the Presi-
dent should exercise the veto power and de-
feat legislation which he thinks inimical to
the best interests of the country, and opposed
by majority of its voters. If the Democrats
believe otherwise they can appeal to the tribu-
nal of last resort-the people. This, however,
is not what they have been minded to do.
They have attempted to override the veto pow
and to frighten the President into compli-
ance with their will by threatening to with
hold the supplies unless he assented to their
wishes. The condemnation with which
their project has been received by the coun-
try has appalled, them, and they now seem
anxious to retrace their steps. The duel has
been 70 ught, but the foils have somehow got
changed and it is Congress that has been
'pnked."
Naturally enough the Democrats are en-
deavoring to cover their retreat. The modi-
fication of the army bill proposed by them is
slight and unimportant, they say. As it
however gives up the very point at issue the
Republicans may deem it important enough
to accent.
