EATON.
Colorado's chief Magistrate Here for
an Hour.

Governor Eaton. OF Colorado, arrived
here yesterday on the train from Denver,
accompanied by his wife and two children,
and went west on the train from Omaha.
The governor in conversation with a
LEADER reporter said that he was going
to take his little ones for a jaunt to see the
wonders of the world abroad in the fur
ther west. He will visit Salt Lake city,
Yosemite valley, San Francisco, Monte
rcy the Hotel Del Monte, and Los Ange-
les, aud get back to Denver in about
three weeks. He has lately been on an
eastern trip, and he laughed about the
way the newspapers of Denver have been
enjoying themselves over his Coney Island
experiences. Speaking of the crops of
Colorado, and especially of Greeley col
onv and vicinity, where he has immense
farming interests, he says they are not as
good this year as usual. OF the dullness
OF Denver, he says it is mostlytalk, as the
business men are unanimous in declaring
that they are having better trade now
than a year ago. He thinks Aspen is a
promising camp, declares that the output
Of precious metals is unusually large this
year in Colorado, and that altogether the
state is in IA hourishing condition. When
the reporter jokingiy remarked that il he
stayed away long Lieutenant Governor
Peter Breene would make the peniten-
tiary look hollow, with the pardoning
power, the good natured old executive
said, We'll, when I'm away that's his
affair.
The reporter asked him if he would be
sure TO come TO the encampment here in
September, and he said he certainly
would, if possible, and he knew that large
delegations would be here from numerous
Colorado towns and cities, not only of
Grand Army people, Sons OF Veterans.
and tiremen, but also Of the state militia
and the public generally. At this juno
ture the conductor yelled IAN ab.o-o I'd. "
and giving the reporter a hearty grip and
a CHEEKY good-b bye, Honest Ben, " Colo
ADDS granger governor, mounted lightly
the steps Of a moving car and went into

LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT.
A Failing Lamp Opens a strangers
Head.

Yesterday at Collins harness store on
Sixteenth street, while Mr.. Stone and
some strangers were descending from the
upper stories on the elevator and just as
they had reached the ground floor, a lamp
fell from the third story which descending
struck one of the men, a stock dealer
from Missouri, on the left side of the head
and cut a long and ugly cash. The lamp
was smashed to pieces but the chimney
rolled out on the floor safe and sound.
DR.. Wyman dressed the mans wounds
and he is now about, as usual, but if the
lamp had struck him full on top the head
there would doubtless have bsen a Job for

matter of conjecture how long this state
of affairs may continue to tempt the
cupidity even of second-rate naval powers
without bringing on an attack.
General Grant once said that the best
way of preserving peace was to be pre-
pared for war; Twenty wears ago the
coast Notifications of the principal sea-
ports in the United States were adapted
to the methods OF naval warfare at that
time, and our vessels carried guns of the
heaviest calibre; but since then the in
vention of the Krupp gun has put the
Rodman out of date and made our forts
and vessels defenceless All the other
naval powers have the great steel guns
that enable them to raze city at dis
tance of seven or eight miles. They fire
with ten times the velocity reached by
the pot-metal guns of the United States
navy, and modern war vessel could raze
one of our forts without getting in range
of its cannon. Likewise, United States
man-of-war would be blown up before it
could get within shooting distance. The
United States invites attack by being
wholly unprepared for a naval war.
To replace the pot-metal cannon with
modern steel guns would be a work of
years, but that certainly is one of the
strongest reasons why it should be begun
at once. These guns cannot be manu-
factured in the United States, and at first
they would have to be obtained in Eng
land and Germany. If the Government
would make contract for sufficient
number of the guns plant of machinery
could be secured for their manufacture in
the United States; but, as the business
would have to be built up from the
ground, it would be at least five or six
years before the first gun could be
turned out in this country. But the Gov
ernment ought to secure some of these
guns for the defense of the principal sea-
ports at the earliest practicable day. The
expense of course will be very heavy, but
adequate seacoast defense is necessity,
and it would be the height of folly to de-
lay making provision for it until too late.
This is a good time for Congress to re-
assert the American doctrine and vote
the necessary millions for defense rather
than incur the danger of tributes and ma
tional humiliation. Chicago Tribune.

HUMANITARIANS.

Justus Schwab, the New York Socialist,
has expressed himself on the merits of
the San Francisco fends. He thinks and
says they were inspired by the most hu-
manltarian motives. If such is the case,
then well may humanity cry aloud, ''Save
me from my friends Schwab doesn't
know these four dynamiters, but he well
comes them as true Socialists. Whether
people welcome them as Socialists or not
they will certainly recognize them as such,
and the recognition will not please them.
either. Schwab draws tie line of the
universal brotherhood at the Chinese.
This is reassuring, and reminds one of Ko-
Ko when he drew the line at Yum-Yum.
These four San Francisco dynamiters,
and all such as they, should have the
line of the hangman drawn around them.
They are entirely too plentiful and on
every occasion they wish to reorganize
society by universal murder. This NAV

Not Afraid of the Dynamiters.

The citizens who were down on the
dynamiters' list for assassination have
unanimously declined to be frightened.
Persons of the class to which these con-
spirators belong have an altogether
erroneous estimate of the courage of the
'aristocrat' and ''bourgeoisie" in
America. Instead of turning pale and
trembling at the thought of the midnight,
underground, giant-powder-loaded Socia-
list, the threatened gentlemen evince a
lively desire to get chance to break the
heads of the conspirators who had
doomed them to death. "These people
think" said Mr.. Spreckels, one of the
condemned, to Post reporter yesterday.
sthat because man has money he must
be afraid of his life. My life is worth no
more to me than anybody else's, and I
would be just as willing to 60 in and fight
as anybody. These bilks won't work and
they won't fight. shouldn't be afraid OF
twenty of them."' The average Ameri-
can, rich or poor, has ample faith in his
ability to take care of himself. And he
can usually do it, too.-S. r. Post.

DAKOTA'S CASE.

|
The Territory of Dakota is seeking ad
mission to the Union. To her admission
there is much objection. Much of the
opposition to the admission of new States
into the Union is based upon theories an
tagonistic to the true genius of the Ameri-
can Government. Much of this opposi-
ton comes from the people of the older
States who feel jealousy OF the power
OF the new States in the Senate. In that
body the voice of Nevada is as potent
as the voice of New York, and this
is SO because of the Federal
idea which underlies the American
Government. The Senators are represen-
tatives of the States and not of the people.
In the East the papers are citing the cases
of Oregon, Nevada and Colorado to show
the impolicy OF admitting new States with
meagre population. Dakota's case is
entirely different in that respect from the
others. Her population is estimated to
be nearly half million, and this estimate
is probably no exaggeration. In 1880
her population numbered 1917, while
her present population is estimated
upon the basis of the votes cast
at the November election, 1884.
In 1884 the vote was S6,764, and as this
vote represented the male part of the
population who had attained to a ma
jority, this vote, counting each vote as
being l to of the actual population,
would show the actual number of inhab-
itants to be 433, ,S20. Such population
is perfectly able to support the burdens OF |
Statehood, and there is no danger of that |
population growing less, for Dakota is
an agricultural Territory,
its chief element of wealth being its wheat
crop. To divide Dakota and admit
her as two States would be un-
wise, and it is safe to say will
not be done; but as she is to-day she is
entitled to admission to the Union. Da-
kota is the only Territory in the Union
whose Supreme Court is composed of six
Judges.
By the way, what has become of Utah's
convention? Is it not about
lime for it to hold another semi-annual

A Reporters Valuable Suggestion.

The Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage. when in
town the other day, said that he owed
much of his success in life to the sugges-
tons of a newspaper reporter. He was
engaged to lecture in Baltimore several
years ago, and just before he was to be-
gin his discourse the newspaper man,
who had been sent to report the the ad-
dress, inquired in an off-hand way:
"Well, DR.. Talmage, are you going to
give US many points tonight"
"Points?" repeated the clergyman.
"Points ?''

won't get much space tomorrow unless
your lecture is full of good points that
the paper can't afford to leave out"

the story, "and / saw that they were full
of sound wisdom. Since that time 1 have

and sermons and literary work bristle

ing thoughts and phrases"
