THE OUTLOoK FOR '92.

Gen. Patrick A. Collins. of Massachus-
etts, whose timely, eloquent, and cogent
speeches did so much toward e~lecting Mr..
Cleveland president in 1884, and who is
still a trusted leader OF his party, has
given to an interviewer the grounds of his
confident hope Of a Democratic victory In
1892, says the New York WOrid Mr..
Collins considers it an element of strength
that the Democrats are mo longer ham
dicapped with the disappointments OF pa
tronage." The ex-congressman has seen
and knows as much Of this business as
any man of his age, and he declares that
-four years OF these disappointments
have convinced me that patronage is
weakness rather than strength to a party. -
Twice the Democrats elected their can
didate for President without a tide waiter
to help them. Last year they lost, with
seven -eighths of the Offices in their pos
session. The issue of tariff reform, in
Mr.. Collins view, will be prominent. il
not paramount, until it is settled, which
the Republicans can not nor will not
do" Speaking for the Democrats he
says: I'VE are pledged to continue the
fight to a finish" Mr.. Collins is conf.
dent that the Republican party in con.
gress will fail to adopt any legislation
which will fail TO adopt any Legislation
which will be satisfactory to the country.
Its legislation and policy must con
unue to be for corporate and plutocratic
interests. rather than in favor OF the peo-
pie" Tho Republican party. he thinks,
will henceforward, like the old Wing,
represent the power and purposes of the
wealthy classes, while the Democracy viii
stand as the guardian of the peoples
rights and liberties" If this forecast
shall prove correct. Mr.. Collins hopswil
urn out to be well founded. 1t viii

For the third time the investigation
into the land claimed by the Wyoming
Development company will be commenced
to-day.
The work of retaining this land cost
its projectors very little less than half a
million dollars. 1t consists of a tunnel
through the face of a mountain, besides
miles of bitches and l~aterals. After FIVE
years time the reclaimed land still practic
ally remains in the hands of the govern
ment, though the company has paid
taxes upon it for the pas; two years.
That a speedy settlement Of the matter
may now be reached is hoped by every
citizen OF the town who knows anything
about the case. The land as it can now
be irrigated forms a model farm of vast
proportions. Crops have been raised
there equally as large in kind as any ever
raised in Greeley. The work first demon
strAted what could be done through irri-
CATION in the Wyoming table lands. 1t
was a work which no private individual
couiu UT Wouiu uhueitahc. ihNo''VN
an outlay of exactly $4ss, 900 and staring
its projectors in the face was the possible
fact of It's failure.
Through the building of the irrigation
company's tunnel land which was value
less to the government and the individual
settler was not only reclaimed but rem
dcred highly productive. As it now
stands it would afford a comfortable Nv
ing to at least three thousand people and
contribute vastly to the taxable wealth of
this county.
The case is one that appeals to the
equity of the interior department and it
is to be hoped that the cause of immi
grafton will be iurthered by its speedy
and permanent settlement.

THE Y. M. @. A. BUILDING
Decisive Action OF the Building Com
mittee Last Friday.

The Young Mems Christian Association
is making commendable efforts to secure
the building the general public comedies
1t should have, by all means.
A building committee was appointed at
a meeting held for that purpose several
weeks ago, and since then 1t has been en-
gagged in earnest consideration OF ways and
means to attain the end in view
A meeting Of the committee was held in
the association rooms last Friday after
noon. II was reported that three eligible
lots had been rendered, on either Of which
the proposed building could be erected TO
good advantage, but the decision as to
which would be accepted was deferred
until further progress in the guaranteeing
OF funds was made. 1t was also deemed
advisable TO raise the money by subscrip-
ton, and committee OF fifteen
prominent citizens will be appointed at an
early day to canvass the city, These COM
mitteemen will be reinforced by others not
active members OF the association, but
sympathizers with its laudable work. One
hundred and fifty thousand dollars was
the sum fixed to be raised, no subscrip-
tons to be binding until two-thirds OF the
amount had been pledged.
The demands OF this enterprise upon the
wealthy people OF the community are ably
set forth elsewhere in today's issue OF TIL
APPEAL by the Rev. Eugene Daniel.

II Was a terrible struggle.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 25.-A free exam
ination of the Carlson cottage was per-
mitted today for the first time. Only
vague hints OF the horrors have heretofore
been made public. On the south wall OF
the cottage parlor great splotches Of blood
and hair adhering thereto could be seen.
A terrible struggle had taken place in the
rooms. A castor on the front leg Of the
washstand and ope on the front leg Of the
dressing case had been broken Off and ere
missing. The arm rest on the ordinary
cane bottomed rocker was also broken and
the pieces left strewn all over the floor.
Blood splattered about the floor shows, not
withstanding the bungling paint, that DR..
Cronin was not killed or even rendered
helpless by the first blow he received.
There is every indication that the doctor was
struck first as he endeavored to cross the
parlor floor to the next room, where stood
the bed. This blow threw the doctor tn
the floor, II would seem, and forced his
head against the wall. The greatestsplotch

blow, or came IRON the conclusion OF the
wounded head against the Dashboard.
That the doctor had succeeded in getting
to his feet in some manner, is evidenced
by the appearance OF the floor, and tho
broken furniture.
The bed in the house was apparently
