Having heard rumors and expressions
from Delta County Populists that many
OF the party were not satisfied with the
ticket this fall, we started out the first OF
the week to assertion why. From in
terviews with Populists and others who
have talked with them we find the princi-
pie objection is the fact that the same
old officers were nominated with the
exception OF Girardet for Sheriff. There
are many who are completely disgust
ed with the State administration and
will never vote the ticket again. II the
citizens OF Delta county put up ticket
composed OF men who are conscientious
ly opposed to the peculiar "isms"of the
Peoples Party it will be overwhelmingly
elected, and this county be one OF the
first to prove that Colorado will elect
conservative State officers in 1894.

WASHINGTON, Sept 21.-There are two
mon in this town, men holding high po-
sitions and envied by thousands of their
fellow creatures, toward whom my SYM
pathies are extended. They are Secre-
taries Gresham and Carlisle. You have
heard Of men who worked like horse.
To work like horse is to work six days
IN the week, from early morning till late
at night, and get nothing out of it but
your feed and shelter. But these two
secretaries do more than this. It must
be like mule that they labor, for they
work seven days week instead of six.
They never know what it is to rest. And
what are they getting out of it2 A little
ephemeral fame, the consciousness of
duty well performed and a possible
chance to be president of the United
States some day. The second reward is
worth more to either of them, I dare
say, than the other two together.
These two men occupy the most diff
cult posts under the government. They
are brought face to face every day of

Will the Democratic Congress Pass .
Protectionist Tariff Bill?

Our able contemporary. the Mihodukes
journal. has some interesting news:
"Int.lissnes from Washington shows that the plat
form promises Of tue chicago Convention will be car.
yisd out By tie Ways and Means COMMITTEES In the
preparation Of the tsrin bill"
Unfortunately the real intelligence from
Washington is directly contrary to the re-
port Of our Milwaukee friend.
Instead Of tariff for revenue only, the
Ways and Means Committee appear to be
industriously engaged in constructing a
raced MCKINLEY bill. with some features
OF McKinleyism carefully doctored. but
maintaining the crowning atrocities OF class
legislation in pernicious though somewhat
reduced efficiency. or the great and COM
prehensive principle OF revenue only. q
principle hostile alike to free trade and to
protection. no account appears to be taken
by these tinkers. Instead OF boldly and
faithfully applying this great principle. they
content themselves with contemplate re-
ductions In special duties. and still more
contemplate extensions OF what they call
the free list
But we will not comment on this bill in
advance OF its official and unquestionable
publication. For the present, 1t is enough
TO say that II the new tariff bill turns out
to be what the most authentic reports from
Washington represent 1t to be. those who
may describe the majority Of this Demo-
cratic Congress as body Of false pretences.
will be able to present an argument in sup
port Of their position.

The Decline Of Or. BrIrr..

The declining popular interest in DR..
BRIGGs was indicated by the small audi
enee which listened TO his address on
the higher criticism Of the Bible at Car
negie Music Hall on Tuesday evening The
subject as he treats 1t has ceased TO be a
novelty and his general position as 10 the
Bible Is we'll understood
The main reason for this lessened i'm
portaneo Of DR.. BRI0Gs In the popular esti-
mation is that he lacks the qualities OF lead
ership. He has started movement In the
orthodox churches. but he does not so along
with IL. Those who were originally his
followers have now left him far behind.
They are more courageous in marching
to the conclusions 10 which be directed
them. He has advocated a method OF
treating the Bible which destroys its old
and unique authority. yet he insists on
pToclaiming himself as the defender OF the
Divine authority Of the Bible, Honest men

The Political situation in France.

While Italy is In the throes Of the most
dangerous crisis experienced since the uni
tcauon OF the peninsula. France is opening
new chapter OF her Parliamentary history
with better prospect Of securing stable
and consistent administration than she has
had for twenty years. The new Chamber
OF Deputies has chosen typical Moderate.
III. CAsIMIR PERIER. for its presiding officer.
and Premier DUPUY. in his programme. has
renounced the shuffilng traditions OF his
predecessors and has declared uncompro-
missing warfare against Socialists and revo-
lutionists OF every sort. He has interpreted
the last election 10 mean that the country
is tired Of reckless Innovations and prefers
that the national Institutions shall remain
as they now are. He has, in other words.
adopted the firm and conservative policy
which 10 Justly described as the condition
OF durable government.
NJ. DUPUY. In the speech defining the Min
istry's Intentions. began by reassuring the
mass OF his supporters as 10 the scope Of
any possible concessions to the new Catho-
lie Republicans comprised In the so-caled
rallied Right. Under no clrcums tances,
he said. will the Government assent To any
change In the military or educational laws.
That Is To say. the whole scheme OF national
education will remain thoroughly secular
ized. and young men preparing for the
priesthood will not be excused from a term
Of service in the army. But. while ia these
particulars NJ. DUPUY will not depart from
the policy steadily pursued by the Repub-
licans since they gained control OF the Gov
ernment. he means To testify appreciation
OF the Pope's friendly attitude by an un-
wayering stand in the matter OF the Con-
cordat. He will. in other words. resist
every proposal tending TO separation OF
Church and State. although by this dec
laration he may lose the support Of
the most progressive section OF the
Deputies who hitherto have been counted
as adherents OF the Ministry. The head
OF the Cabinet went on TO rendeI impos-
slble any compromise with the Socialists
or Radical Socialists. by stating that he
would oppose unsWerVingly all those who
aim to substitute State tyranny for indi-
vidual liberty. What renders this asser-
tiOn remarkable is the eageTness of pre-
Vious Ministries 10 prOpitiRts the advocates
