Hornyhanded granger, Hayseed, and
Clovertop are nicnames Of the past.
And it is time it should be so. While
undoubtedly there will be some mis-
takes made in this great onward
movement, every earnest endeavor
will be one step nearer the goal; and
we believe the husbandman viii rise
to the grandeur of the occasion, and
evolve a great blessing to himself
and to pOsterity.
One might well infer from a por-
ton of the New York letter to the
Chicago Ledger not long ago, that its
author had outlived her usefulness in
referring to aecentuated toilets Of
ladies. Criticism would have been
passed on the article at time of pub
location, had it not been for giving it
greater publicity. However, those
who did read it, must have rejoiced
that it did not voice the sediment of
most young ladies.

TotaI Depravity in Colorado.

Total Depravity in Colorado.
We do not know the political com
plexion of Glenwood Springs, Color
ado, but it is either a phenomenon or
else overwhelmingly democratic,
Judging from the special dispatch in
the Leadville Democrat of last Fri
day:
Last evening the board of trade
called meeting at the court house,
which was attended by large major
lty OF our business men and taxpay-
ers, and, after listening to many ring
ing speeches against enforcing this
law, the following resolutions, offered
by Hon. William Gelder was unsni-
mOusly passed:
ReSOLUed, That this board of trade
Is opposed TO the movement now ON
foot seeking to close our saloons on
the Sabbath day, and further
ReSOtUed, That SO far as In our
power lies consistent with our bv-
laws, this board of trade will aid ss-
loon keepers IN their effort to combat
the movement now being made to
close their saloons"
We publish this with a realizing
sense of what a fearful commentary
it Is on the civilization of Colorado
Inasmuch as it is the most abiect and
groveling acknowledgment of the su-
preme Will of the rum power it will
doubtless afford Kansas resubmis-
siOnists melancholy pleasure as a
partial Offset to their recent disasters
in this state and Iowa. The picture
of a board Of trade in a civilized
state enthusiastically resolving to
stand by the saloons in their defiance
Of a Sunday closing law, is the most
degrading and disreputable that We
remember to have read of in the his
tory of this country. It is a confes-
sion Of incapacity not only for self
government, but for the appreciation
of any high sentiment, of any REIN
ing ideas; it is conclusive evidence of
the absence of a moral tone IN the
community; an indication Of deprav-
ity that comes about as near being
total as anything we remember to
have heard of since the assassination
of Abraham Lincoln. Topeka Cap

who have usually had surplus to in

Consequently everybody waited for the

bad one prices were generally lower.
When the statement was announced it
proved to be more favorable than was
expected. The decrease of So, $4,000 in

any connection with the stock market,
showed that the stocks which had been
bought had been paid for with the buy

the banks. All of the more
active stocks were practically up-
changed, except by small fractions as
compared with week ago, and though
the majority of these fractional changes
are declines, they are the result Of the
constant short selling and hammering
