SOME OF our state credit contempo-
raries have much to say about the tri-
umph Of principle in the election of
Howell +. Jackson to the United
Estates senate, but give the low credit
wing Of the party very gingerly credit
for aiding in the result. They gush
over Butler and the other republicans
who changed over to Jackson after
they saw that Rose had hfty-two votes,
but do not seem to be aware that
the low tax democrats, for the
sake Of a party victory, voted
with and for high tax demo-
erats all the time after Savage was
withdrawn. Senator Jackson once in
his seat at Washington will have moth
Ing more to do with the settlement of
the state debt than any other citizen.
He is a good and an able man, who has
his opinions and is entitled to them,
but we have never heard that he de-
nounced personally or by proxy those
entertaining different views, He has
treated all mSn courteously, has never
gone out Of lis way 70 widen the
breach in the party, or to broWbeata any
class Of citizens, and therefore en-
ioys the good will and respect Of all
true democrats. lie recognizes the
fact that there is such thing as an
honest difference Of opinion with
regard TO questions Of public policy
and expedieucy, and that all virtue,
intelligence and respectability are not
monopolized by particular faction or
set Of men-such at least is our under
standing of Mr.. Jacksop's position.
He may be in favor Of making coupons
rereiyabe e for taxes, which is
contrary to the will and expression
Of the whole democratic party
in the state, bat it does not
follow that heil insincero or dishonest.
The high credit democrats, asst they call
themselves, took TIE position in the
legislature thatItbey would not vote
for any one who did not agree with
them 90 the debt questiou even If a
republican we're elected to the senate
and all the powers of the national gov
eminent thrown into the hands Of the
republican party. In striking con-
trqst with thia reckless policy was
the course Of the low tax democrats,
who threw aside all personal prefer
ences and saved the party. Now il
there was any triumph Of principle to
talk about. it 1as certainly on the side
Of the latter. If they had been dis
noscd TO barter or sell out, they could
have done SO, doubtless, upon good
terms. All this boasting about the
triumph Of principle comes from those
who have never defined the exact terms
upoe which they would agree to settle
the state debt or the rate Of taxation
which they would impose upon th'
peofle; It comes FROM those who woulC
have turned overthe entire state enc
national government to theIepublica'
party merely to crafty persona
enmi,y and spite. 1t comes ffou
those who raised false issues in th'
canvass. who we're in the main insin

We trust that our senators and

lose no time when they reassemble
after the recess in making provisions
for the honorable settlement of the
state debt. The people expect it. and
il it is not done will be disappointed
and indignat. Republicans were
elected upon a state credit platform,
and they cannot oppose or throw any
distractions in the way of settlement
without violating the trusts imposed
in them by their constituents. The
state credit democrats were elected
upon a similar platform, and they
cannot oppose a settlement without
stultifying themselves.

it, The purpose of the device was of

and expense that unless free coinage bill
can be passed the mines are likely to be
abandoned. The enormous wealth drawn
from them has gone into the pockets OF
few men, and is of no substantial benefit
to the people generally; most of it being
spent in buying senatorships, building
palaces in San Francisco. and -princsly
living in Paris. Cattle grazing. once
profitable employment for large portion
of the population, is almost extinct. owing
30 the superior advantages offered by
Colorado, Matters have reached such a
pass that the 10000 people of the fourteen
counties into which the state is divided are
sadly puzzled about the maintenance of
the state government, Hitherto the taxes
