page describing the robbery that
startled Berkeley Saturday. 81 cannot

added, that l approve stealing in

One by one the readers threw their
papers aside, and without difficulty
disposed of bandits and plumber in the

grew reminiscent.
1.-The pluckicst robbcr I ever heard
of, said Dcnverite, was the one who
made Dan Moffatt give up twenty-one
thousand dollars about three years ago.
The story became familiar enough, but
the sequel has been generally squelched.
A young fellow walked into Moffatt's
private office at the First National
bank, covered Moffatt with pistol,
displaying bottle of harmless oil that
he said was nitro-glycerine, made Moi
fatt fill out a check and then get it
casheds and hand him the money. He
specified just what he wanted, demand
ing one thousand dollars in gold, a
ten thousand dollar bill, and smaller
bills. When Moffatt went to the pay
ing teller for the cash the visitor was
just behind him with the revolver close
to his ribs, but hidden by an overcoat
Having secured the money the robber
backed out of the door and disappeared
did they ever catch him? Well,
now, that is hard to state. There is
some mystery about it. Some people
did not think that Moffatt wanted him
caught. But big row was made about
it, and rewards offered. In perhaps a
year, after numerous arrests and re-
leases, it was announced that pris-
oner in Jail in Clay county, Mo-, charged
with horse stealing, had confessed to
being Motfat's robbcr. The bank teller
west there and identified him. The
Denver chief of police told me, how
ever, that the prisoner was prctender
and that he did not believe that he had
ever been in the state of Colorado.
Then the chap went crazy. You cannot
try u 1nnatic for robbery, and the pub
lie does not keep track of the crazy
prisoners of Clay county, Mo. So the
matter rests"
The Denver man had the floor. "You
remember, don't you, the way Senator
Tabor's gold bricks from the Vulture
mine in Arizona were stolen? He got
the property along in the sos. The
output in the form of a brick left the
mine every two weeks. One of these
bricks was worth about eight thousand
dollars. . The foreman thought he could

Unconstitutional Demands OF Republican
Platform Makers.
Even the constitution of the United
States was held in contempt by the
republican platform-makcrs, who
wrought with no better or higher pur.
pose than to get all the votes possible.
In the plank, dealing with the elective
franchise, is this: I'VE demand that
such laws shall be enacted and enforced
as will secure to every citizen, be he
rich or poor, native or foreign born,
white OF black, this sovereign right
guaranteed by the constitution. This
is willful and contemplate piece of
pettifogging, because no such guaran-
tee is given by the constitution. All
that the federal constitution does de-
no discrimination shall be made be-
cause of race, color, or previous con-
dition of scrvitude. The respective
states are the sole judges of the con-
ditions upon which the privileges of the
elective franchise may be exercised,
and they alone determine the qualifica-
tions of voters within the above restric-
ton as embodied in the constitution.
Michigan. if so minded, can impose a
property qualification, an educational
qualification, or both, that W ould debar
many citizen from voting, "be he rich
or poor, native or foreign born, white
or black" and yet the constitution of
the United States would not be vio-
lated, because no discrimination would
be made on account of trace, color or
previous condition of servitude." Were
congress to pass law aiming to meet
the demands set forth in the republican
platform, the supreme court of the
United States would pronounce it null
and void, for congress has no right or
power to usurp the rights of the states
law of the land.
Because of its long lease of supremacy.
its power of wealth and its management
Of national affairs with the one purpose
of perpetuating its domination, the re-
publican party has imbibed the idea
that it is the final authority in this
country and that from its dictation
there is no appeal. Under that convic-
ton it ignores the constitution and APP
peals to the people in the name OF an
authority that is without existence.
This nation is union Of states, pledged
to its maintenance and defense, but not
i'll the sense that the federal govern
ment can wipe out state lines and estab-
fish a consolidated power with Wash
ington as a controlling center. 1t was
against just such possibility that the
founders Of the republic took every care
TO provide.
1t is high time that those who con-
troll the course ofsthe republican party
be convinced that they are not the peo-
pie. There are certain constitutional
rights so sacred that they are bound to
yield them respect and obedience. De-

Fricls, the manager Of the works, was

asked by Mr.. Oates: what is the cost
Mt Homestead to produce ton of steel?"
Considering that Mr.. Tricks company
has received from congress- authority to
tax the consumers of steel plate TO COM
pensate for the mere labor cost of his
product, the impudcnce and assurance
OF his reply is astounding. Said he to
Mr.. Oates: "That must decline to an
swer. That is going into private bust
ness" AS we read further in the ex-
animation the statement OF a roller in
the 119-inch mill, who testified that the
cost for skilled labor in a ton Of steel is
$1.52, we can readily understand why
