ANOTHER NATIONAL PARK.

The leading spirits of Denver and OF
Colorado are betraying the same weak
ness that was shown by Californians
twenty years ago. At that time it was
taken as a matter of course that anyone
who visited the Pacific slope came to
see the sights, and every Californian
was either an amatuer or a professional
Snowman. InvalidS who came to recu-
pcrate under their golden skies were
pestered to take long and fatiguing
trips to see petritied forests, big trees,
a wonderful beach, q soda lake, the
Yosemite, and other matters OF no
special interest. In vain did the
stranger within their gates protest and
say that he was satisfied with the benig-
nant air and the revivifying sunlight
and explain that he wanted to be a hu-
man lizard, and bask and do nothing.
All was Of no avail, and he had
no peace until he had gone
the rounds and spent his money
with the impartiality of WEAKNESS
and indifference at each successive
show place. Now the maj who goes to
California and wants to see the sights
is regarded with undisguised contempt,
and the serious men of San Francisco
will beseech him not to waste his time
and money going to such places, but to
visit the raisin producing district OF
Fresno or the fruit ranches of San Ber-
nardino and Southern California.
In Denver the Snowman spirit at the
present moment is excessively strong,
and the principal streets are made ri
diculous by museum stores where
curiosities that come from every part Of
the United States are sold solemnly and
bought eagerly by the tourists who pay
Il flying visit from Colorado Springs to
the chief city of the Centennial state.
1t is now proposed by some of their lead
ing citizens TO have a portion OF Gar
field county, in the west of the state,
set apart forey yer al a national park in
limitation Of the Yellowstone park.
There is no particular objection to this,
and if the proper authorities are will

projectors will be greatly the gamers,

THE movement in Illinois to secure

THE movement in Illinois to secure IL
reform of the divorce laws of that state
ought to be successful. The laws as
they stand are admittedly loose, and
have long been Il reproach to the state,
though, in fact, no worse than the
divorce laws of some other states. There
is a growing sentiment, however,
against the principle of making divorce
easy, and it is we'll that it should find
legislative expression in the state
where this principle has been c%onspicu-
ously carried out. One important
amendment proposed to the law
prohibits the marriage OF any
divorced person within twelve months
from date of the decree of separ-
alton, and gives power to the court to
extend the duration Of prohibition to
ten years. This could not fail to be CON
ducive to good morals, the scandal of a
marriage before the ink on a bill of di-
vorcement is dry being frequent under
the present law. The proposition to
amend the federal constitution so as to
authorize congress to enact a national
marriage and divorce law, will probably
never prevail. The matter is distinctly
one for state regulation, and there is
every reason to expect from the in
crea5ing sentiment in favor of divorce
laws that will prevent the miscarriage
of justice and protect society that III IL
few years no state will be without them.

a NOVEL theory for coast defense has

posed to flood the entrance to harbors

this scheme. But vowed in the light Of

it cannot be adopted, Until the winds
and the tides can be controlled this
burning sea would as likely be swept

shipping as to be carried out to sea and

4 DLrERSLON OF CAPITAL.

An eastern paper recently recorded
the fact that Il large sum of money had
beer subscribed in Boston and other
portions of New England for investment
in the south, and thus remarked upon
it: THE ease with which this sun was
raised in u months time is Il true indi-
cation of the ready capital that may be
had from this section when any mcri-
torious enterprise is well presented.
There are many rich fields as yet I'M
covered in The south, and if the western
legislatures take any rash and inequi-
table steps in the farm mortgage matter,
there will be more New England money
for other growing sections of the coun-
try than ever now"
The last sentence is suggestive, in
view of the fact that there is just now u
good deal of solicitude being manifested
in the eastern farm mortgage market.
Advices from that section are to the eff
feet that u quite general feeling pre-
walls among bankers and brokers that
investment in western farm mortgages
has been o%verdone, and that 1t is eXpe-
dent to put a restriction upon it. In
Massachusetts, Legislation has been pro-
posed with this end in view, and there is
evidence from other portions of New En-
gland that capitalists are becoming eX-
ceed ingly careful and conservative re-
garding this class of investment. This
feeling is not really of recent growth.
1t has prevailed to a greater or less eX-
tent for a year or more past, stimulated
by many false representations in the
eastern press regarding the condition OF
western farm interests. But tn allusion
made to possible western legislation
shows that the feeling of caution and
distrust has been intensified by the
proposed ''three year. stay law" in the
Kansas Legislature to prevent the COL
lection of mortgages. TIE BEE ex-
pressed the opinion at the time this
proposed law was introduced that
its effect was likely to be
bad in the direction 1t has
proven to be. 1t is said That one result
of it is that New England parties who
have advanced large loans on farms in
Kansas have given orders to call in
those due and to collect the rest as fast
as possible. Not only must great IN
barrassmcnt to many farmers, and
bankruptcy to some, ensuc from this,
but its tendency is to create distrust
generally regarding western farm
mortgage investments that may cause an
effort to push collections everywhere
while at the same time restricting
loans.
Obviously a policy of this kind would
work hardship to thousands of western
farmers, and some who are hon
est, industrious and thrifty would
suffer with those who perhaps deserve
to. Statistics exclusively show that in
vcstments IN western farm mortgages
have been safe and profitable. But
evidence of this sort would have little
weight in the face of proposed legisla-
ton such us the legislature of Kansas is
asked to enact. Whatever is necessary
to protect western farmers from unjust
or arbitrary eXactions at the hands of
eastern money lenders should be pro-
vided, but to make laws permitting the
violation of contracts would be a very
dangerous and damaging experiment.
The honest farmers Of the west do not
desire Or need protection of that kind.

So far the times has not been dictatorial to
General Harrison in regard TO the makeup

He will have 10 associate with them more
thar we will, and he may have some choice
IN regard to who he plays ''high fve'' and

ever, the Times will be compelled to

Senator Allison, as secretary of the treas
ury, would be very acceptable, and if Sena-
tor Paddock could be removed from his
present position to a more exalted one it
would leave an opening that we think some
Nebraskan could be prevailed upon TO fill. If
the president elect wants a very smooth rail
road lobbyist he should not neglect to secure
the services Of John M. Thurston, leader Of
the Union Pacific lobby. John is likewise a
very emotional speaker. He can weep over
the sorrows of a sick cat and blow his nose
with such a pathetic accent as TO draw tears
from a chronic ofice-seeker.

How the people are plunderod in the
national capital is suggestively shown
in the annual report of the secretary Of
the United States senate. On the pay
roll u large number of persons are en-
Enumerated in various mental and me-
chanical employments, at good round
salaries. Some of these persons do
nothing at all about the senate, though
they may be of personal service to scna-
tors. They draw public money with UNI
failing regularity, though the alleged
shovellcr or varnisher may be Il stcnog-
rapher or newspaper reporter. Among
the numerous things paid for
by the government for the use of
senators during the years lSS7-SS were
hundreds of q"uinine pills, while a solid
silver writing set for the vice presi-
dents room cost the people four hun
dred and fifty dollars. The senators are
far less careful of the public money, in
the matter of making provision for their
wants, comfort or convenience, than the
members of the house, and the annual
reports of the expenditures of that body
for various commodities are not en-
tirely c~reditablc TO it. But worse than

perform no service whatever for the
