A GREAT GATHERING IN DENVER.
Sectional Interests Sunk the Common
Cause Of General Welfare.

Sectional Interests Sunk the Common
Cause of General Welfare.
DENVER, May 19.-North, South and
West sank all sectional interests at the
first session OF the Mississippi con-
gress which opened here TODAY Dele
gates began to arrive last evening, but the
great majority came in on the morning
trains. When the convention was called
to order at l0:45 by Fishback, chairman
of the local organization, the lower floor
of the theater was occupied by delegates,
who exceeded 1000 fully accredited rep
resentatives. The interior was handsomely
draped with silken banners and bunting
and various beautiful escutcheons of the
leading states. One OF the features of the
morning was the presentation of beauti-
full floral design FIVE feet high by Louisi-
ana. w. ii. II. Behan OF New Orleans
made the address, remarking that the en-
blem had been carried by the delegates
through fifty miles OF water which at
times covered the wheels OF their car.
Governor Route, on behalf of the state,
welcomed the delegates. He congratu-
lated the representatives upon their lively
interest in the affairs of the West which
had been neglected through want of united
efforts. Cohesion would mean favorable
legislation. He hoped to hear of favora-
bic action upon free silver and free coin
age. Mayor Rogers of Denver spoke upon
the duties of legislatures and congress.
Chairman William Fishback affirmed
the fact that they met only as business
men. sinking all political prejudices for
the common good. He deprecated sec
tional bitterness, but warned the conven-
ton not TO be blinded by the vital ques-
tons awaiting settlement. Despite devel-
opment nine states in the New England
corner of the country controlled the
wealth of the people. They had domi-
mated politics and succeeded in demone-
tizing silver. 1t had forced the commerce
of the vast area west of the Mississippi
river and interdicted commercial ex-
changes. He closed by thanking Louisi-
ana for the floralg gift. Adjourned TO meet
at o'clock.
At the resumption of business in the aft
ernoon the committee on credentials re-
ported delegates present from sixteen
states and territories, with several others
to hear from. A recess OF half an hour
was probably employed by the reception
committee distributing souvenir badges.
These were of conventional style, sus-
pended from silver clasps and embellished
with a small silver brick, the metal being
| 1000 fine.

man John r. Heard. of the Sixth Missouri
district, delivered an address on railway
transportation, which he said was .
subject OF supreme importance 10
the farmer. One solution was found
in the State railway commissions.
Missouri had been among the hrst OF
the States to deal with the question IN
that way and Missouri's experience show
ed that the method had been q success.
Another method OF controlling. railroad
corporations in the interests OF the people
was through a national railway comms-
sion. Some professed to believe that tue
railroad should be placed under Govern
ment management.
GOVERNMENT CONTROL WOULD FAIL.
Government railrosding, he believed.
would be gigantic failure. In the nrss
place. the Government would heye to buy
the railroads, and that would cost ten
thousand million dollars. That would be
an impossibility, practically, because
there was in circulation only fifteen nun
dred million dollars
II. q. Brown. of Georgia, endorsed every
thing that Mr. Heard had said. Georgia.
he said. had tried State ownership OF rail-
WAYS; Georgia owned the Western and At
lantic railway. Under State control the
rates were high; the service was bad, ana
the deficits were extraordinary. The state
found that it had been too expensive to
run its own railway, aud the line was
leased to private individuals. Under pri-
vate control the road charged cheaper,
rates, gave better service, paid rental OF
S3, 900 month, and made money for the

When the September term OF the Dis

one among the jurors who wanted TO be
excused says the Omaha World Herald.
John Doe is not his name, but 1t goes here.
"What Is your namel" asked Judge
Davis.
John Doe" was the reply.
"Do you want TO be excused from dutyP"
inquired the Judge. ,
"Hey? You'll have to talk q little loud.
er, Judge. I'm little hard OF hearing"
said Mr.. Doe.
Judge Davis repeated the question. and
Mr. Doe replied
"No. sir; don't want to serve"
What excuse have your"
"Well. Judge. Pm hard o. hearing, and
Pm afraid it would be useless for me TO try
TO serve"
Can you hear an ordinary converse
tional toner" asked the Judge.
"Heyl" remarked Dee, placing his hand
behind his ear.
- cav. can you hear an ordinary conver-
sationai tone of voice?" asked the Judge,
pitching his voice little higher.
well il bothers me some," said Doe.
"Well, said Judge Davis, in allow tone OF

If you can't hear well.p
Low as the tone was Doe heard it and he
started away with d pleased smile twink
ling about his face.
"Wait. Mr.. Doe" said Judge Davis, II

well enough to serve asa juror. We cannot
excuse you"
And John Doe collapsed and fell into the
nearest chair
