a man or woman to whom constitutional

WHAT will the verdict be?

SEVERAL of the territorial papers still
affect to believe that the appropriation
bill was rendered invalid by its failure to
pass before midnight of the day fixed for
the adjournment of the legislature. Come
down from your perches of speculation,
brethren: the appropriation bill is Just as
surely a law as any enactment made by
the Legislature.

A GLANCE AT DENVER.

After a cursory glance over Denver we
are led to the belief hat the greatest
present need of the town is paved streets.
The traffic has now become so great that
at certain seasons the ~thoroughfares are
rivers OF mud and tend to a certain extent
to mitigate the pleasant first impressions
which everybody has of the city. Bust
ness generally is not Unfortunately brisk,
though In some lines it is very good. A
great deal OF building will be done this
year. Real estate is being doomed for all
it is worth and perhaps a little more.
Money Is made from it chiefly by the
heavy operators; the smaller fry are not
so %exuberant. Additions are daringly
projected and plated on the suburban
prairies, a few attractive brick houses
built and lots sold for several hundred
dollars apiece. Our impression is that
outside real estate is oyerdone, but there
is wonderful vitality about the town and
in no Western community is there better
esprit du corps. Denver is for Denver
from early morn till dewy eve and thence
on to breakfast time. While prices are
now undoubtedly inflated and liable to be-
come more so, Denver, we believe, may
be relied Upon to keep pretty well up with
the procession.
The newspapers are unusually prosper

eyre in the News Office over as pretty a
prospect as the artistic eve could well de-
light to rest on. Within the office every
appointment is par excellence, while the
whirr of the beautiful perfecting press be.
low seems to always furnish the energetic
manager with inspiration to coin new mil
itary titles for all his many visitors. The
Republican Is rapidly outgrowing its pres
ent large quarters.
There is one unpretentious little even
ing paper that we take great delight in
referring to. 1t is called the World. Its
quarters are unattractlve and not too well
suited for its purposes, and yet our DELHI
crate Judgment is that if it con
tinues along its present luminous
pathway it will reach the goal
of phenomenal newspaper success.
The editor Of the paper is James Mac
Carthy, known to fame as 'Fitz- Mac" a
man OF refined literary attainments com
bined with striking abilities as a live,
practical editorial manager. His editorial
page is n model of crisp, nervous English
which clothe thoughts on topics of the
hour that arrest the attention of every
reader. His selections are made with rare
discrimination, and while we cannot al
ways unreservedly agree with everything
he says, We can always frankly admire his
handiwork. The LEADER tenders its
congratulations to Mr.. MacCarthy and his
staff, and bids them God speed in their
bright work.
Denver Is IN many respects n model fol
all progressive Western towns, and while
a visitor may not always unquestioningly
believe that the sun rises and sets in tina
immediate neighborhood, as the inhabi
tants seem TO invariably do, still there il
much to learn from the happy knacl
which they possess of persistently keeping
their town before the attention of tn,
world, their unlimited faith in the future
and the exuberant manner in which they
unite in booming any movement calcu.

of the town.

A horses head indicates his char
acter very much as mans does. Vice
is shown in the eye and mouth; intelli-
gence in the eye and in the pose, in
the mobile nostril and active ear. The
size of the eye, the thinness of the
skin, making the face bony, the large.

and the thin, fine name and foretop.

accompany high-strung, nervous or
ganization, which, with good limbs and
muscular power, insures considerable
degree of speed in the animals. The
stupidity lazy horse that drivers call q
"lunkhead" has a dull eye, usually a
narrow head and contracted poll. He
is always a blundcrer, forgets himself
and stumbles on smooth ground, get
himself and his owner into difficulty,
calks himself, is sometimes positively
lazy, but often hard goer. He needs
constant care and watchfulness on the

Who Struck Billy Patterson.

About forty years ago, at one OF the
medical colleges of this country, the
students had trick of hazing every
new man who entered the institution.
They would secure him hand and foot,
carry him before mock tribunal, and
there try him for some high crime with
which they charged him. He would be
convicted, of course and sentenced to
be led to the block and decapitated.
A student named William Patter-
came along in time, and was put
through the court and sentenced in
the usual solemn and impressive man
ner. He was blindfolded and led to
the block. and his neck placed in posi-
ton. The executioner. swung his axe
and buried it in the block, allowing it,
to be sure, to go nowhere near Patter-
sons head. The students laughed
when the trick was at an end, but Pat
terson was dead. He had died from
what medical men call shock. All the
students we're put under arrest. and
the question arose, "Who struck Billy
Patterson" On the trial it was shown
that nobody struck him, but the medi-
cal students retained the expression,
and it has come down through them to
the present day. st. Louis GIo6e-I'enS-
