Cheyenne Canyon is about four or FIVE
miles from Colorado Springs. 1t is mar

cold and sparkling water rushes down the
ravine. Higher up the Canyon the water
plunges down shelving rocks for 500 feet,
making seven beautiful falls, but owing to
the contorted character of the place the
whole cannot be seen at once. On the top
of an overhanging rock there is constructed
rude observatory of poles, from which
we can see the intrieacies of the CANYON.

frightful confusion. The path is lined
with snow two feet deep where it has been

Not Permitted to Vote.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The population of Rhode Island is
now 304,4lO-an increase of 25,S9S in
five years. This little State only poll
ed 3l,42I votes for President last year.
The county of Cuyahoga polled 49,
954 votes for President at the same
election. The district represented in
Congress by Hon. Martin A. Fotan
polled 1927 votes, about 6,OO0 more
than were castin Rhode Island, which
has two United States Senators and
one member of Congress.
If the right of suffrage in Rhode Is
land was given to n~aturalized citizens,
as i'll the case in Ohio, without a prop
erty qualification, the State would be
Democratic. Fourteen thousand nat
uralized citizens who do not own $134
worth of real estate are DISTINGUISHED
by the Republican people of Rhode
Island because they know if they
amended their constitution so as to put
naturalized citizens on an equality with
American and negro voters they would
not be able to continue it a. 'rotten
borough" While Mr.. John Sherman
is shedding tears over the alleged dis
reimbursement of negroes in the South
he has not uttered a word in favor OF
compelling Rhode Island 10 putaii her
citizens on al equality. His tears are
for the negro-not one for the white
naturalized citizen.

Republican TribulatiOns.
Washington Post.

The Republican newspapers have
raised a great hue and cry over II
removals of postmasters. They have
asserted that these officials have been
turned out with unseemly haste, and
that the Presidential energy has been
largely devoted to hunting down Re-
publican postmasters and filling their
places with Democrats. This action
they assert has been for political effect
and for the purpose of influencing
the fall elections. The statement made
by the Postmaster-General shows the
to. From that statement it appears
that during the five months of Mr..
Cleveland's administration he has
made 467 appointments of Presiden-
tial postmasters, 264 of which have
| been to vacancies caused by eXpira-
ton of term of service and 1913 in place
of suspended officers. The larger
number of these appointments would
have been necessary under any admin
istration, and there have been less than
two suspensions q day.
This showing certainly e not
prove that there has been any undue
haste in removing partisan postmas-
tiers, but rather that the Presidents
progress in that direction has been ex-
tremely moderate. In relation to the
cases of suspension, the Postmaster
General says that in every instance the
case has been carefully considered up
Oh the evidence in pursuance of the
same principles by which the Presi-
dent was guided in the beginning, and
that a large number of solicited re-
movals have been refused because the
proofs were not such as in the Presi-
dents judgment, to warrant such ac-
ton.
After this authoritative statement,
we trust the Republican press will
have the manliness to do President
Cleveland justice and retract the
charges they have so indiscriminately
made. Perhaps that is too much to
expect; but they should at least have
the decency to refrain from further
charges in this direction until they
have first investigated the subject and
made sure that there is some just
foundation for criticism.

Mr.. Joseph B. Foraker, the defeat
ed candidate for governor of Ohio in
1888, and that party's nominee for
the same Office in 1885, in a recent
speech had this to say;
81 might, if it were necessary, cite
unquestioned statistics to show that
for the purpose of making a solid
south in the interest of the Demo
cratic party more men have been kill
ed and wounded in the last ten years
throughout the seeding states than
were Killed and wounded at Gettys-
burg"
This is as outrageous and abomin
able q SANDER as was ever uttered by
a reckless and unprincipled politi-
clan. 1t is hard to believe that a man
sufficiently prominent to become on
two consecutive occasions the candi
date of a great party for governor of
the fourth state in the union should
so PROSTATE himself to base politics
as he unquestionably did in the ut
terance quoted, and yet it is impos-
sible to conceive of a public man so
ignorant as not to know that such a
horrible charge is utterly false.
AS Judge Foraker gives nc Stats
tics, questioned or unquestioned, to
prove his baseless assertion it is not
proposed here to discuss it; but we

whelming defeat that party which
holds up its head in Virginia and
boldly owns it's sympathy with men
who charge Virginians and all other
~southerners, unfortunately, with
being murderers and assassins.

ballot box frauds perpetrated in the
South-by the Southerners. Com
menting on this spasm of political
virtue, the Philadelphia Times says:
"The colossal fraud of 1876, in which
John Sherman was one OF the chief
criminals in the Louisiana electoral
burglary, was the last great wrong
perpetrated against the integrity of
the ballot in the South, and since
then tens Of thousands Of the most
intelligent colored voters have openly
voted the Democratic ticket and
other hundreds of thousands of col
ored voters have refused 10 vote be-
cause their party leaders, largely ap
pointed by Sherman, were notorious

Committee the necessity of removing
Allen o. Myers and Ed. Young from

position to both has been growing
continually ever since they were

especially in the county, where the
Democratic majority comes from, as
to endanger a large part of the local

about these men leaving the ticket,

The following is from the Toledo
Sunday News, and is reproduced
here as peculiarly adapted to the
thoughtful consideration o fmembers
of labor bodies:
When workingmen engage in an
enterprise and expect the patronage
Of brother toilers to help carry it
through, it should be borne in mind
that something more than the sue,
cess of that particular enterprise is at
stake. The issue on trial is the long
disputed question whether working
men have the brain, the judgment
and foresight enough to stand by one
another and aid one another in sc
curing their rights. The claim is
boastingly made that labor is moi
true to itself, that the average labor
er would rather see the monopolists
prosper than a brother %toller; and the
numerous occasions wherein work
ingmen have neglected to aid one an.
ether when they could have done sc
are pointed out as conclusive proot
that labor is Incapable of improving
its condition, and that all attempts tt
encourage it is. wasted time. Every
one knows that should the working
man take only a passing interest in
pushing the few enterprises in which
they are interested they would be {
success. 1t is further known thai
were labor to make any special effort
they could be remarkably successful
The public, and especially the toll
ers, should distinctly understand tina
these enterprises in which working
men are engaged are asking 10 dona
tions or sacrifices of labor. All they
ask is that workingmen give then
the patronage which would go some
where else. This costs no money
for unless they can get the worth o
their money their patronage is MOI
expected. 1t only requires a dispo
sition on the part Of labor to be true
to itself.
