THE crash in Colorado is the most
foreibie illustration of the old story of
the man who 'digged ditch and dig
ged it deep and digged it for his
brother.n 1t will be remembered
that the brother did not fall into thai
ditch, and that the man who digged
it did. The same thing has arrived to
the stupid asses who lately in con-
ventiUD brayed so loudly that their
bray was heard in this part of the
country. It has been thought that
fate had no more bitter irony than a
conspira or hoist by his own petard.
That is what has arrived in Colorado.
The regrettable thing is that the
innocent must suffer with the guilty.
There is nothing in the Colorado situa-
tion that necessarily forced the great
banks to suspend. So far as is known
the Denver banks are sbundantly able
to meet their obligations in the usual
course. But fool Governor and a
fool Judge, reinforced by lot of ad-
venturers, were able to create a panic
and consequent run on the banks
One fool can do more harm than ten
knaves, because everybody watches
the knaves, and ignores the fool as Of
no account. If the creditors of the
banks want a settlement we can conf
mend TO them the swashbucklers
whose silly speeches precipitated the
panic. And the way to settle with
the Waites and the Belfords is to re-
quire them to retire from public life
and think 1t over. Waite and Belford
are criminals, but there is no statute
that can reach them, The people
should demand the retirement Of the
Governor without delay; and if there
Is no man next him in succession any
better than he, a new election should
be held and some man with common
sense should be elected Governor. The
people will at last learn that they can.

these snakes that they disappear, un.
harmed, when struck at with a stick,
like the shadow Of a flying bird
A few days ago Mr.. Lees sons were
hunting through the forest near the
ranch when they saw a great eagle,
which was sailing in midair, suddenly
dart to the earth, heard a ilutter in the
brush, a piercing scream, and the bird
rose above the tree tops, an unusually
long whip snake dangling from his
beak. The eagle held the snake Just
behind the head and rose rapidly; the
snake seemed to be making Intellectual
efforts to draw its dangling body up to-
coil around the eagle. The eagle was
soon in midair and the snake could not
be SEEN but it was evident that a NOR
tai combat was taking place, for the
bird would rise and fall and emit oc-
casional screams, as if in, pain, and in
few minutes was seen rapidly descend
ing earthward, turning over and over
in his fight and Tapping one wing
vigorously, the other seeming to be
held out stationary. But nothing could
be seen of the snake. The bird struck
the ground with somewhat of thud
near the boys, who hurried to the
place, where they found the eagle with
a death grip on the snake just back of
the reptiles head, while the snake had
coiled round and round its assailant's
body, crushing the bird all out of
shape and breaking one wing entirely
The boys killed and unwound the
snake, while the dogs went for the
eagle and soon killed it, not, however

You'd Better Cherish Him.


There are husbands who are pretty
There are husbands who are witty,
There are husbands who in public are smiling
as the morni
There are husbands who are healthy,
There are husbands who are wealthy,
But the real angelic husband, well, he's never
yet been bornl
Some for strength Of love are noted,
Who are really so devoted
That whene'er their wives are absent they are
lonesome and forlorn;
And while now and then you'n find one
Who's a fairly good and kind one,
Yet the real angelic husband, oh, he's never yet
been bornl
So the woman who is mated
To the man who may be rated
As pretty fair, should cherish him forever and
day.
For the real angelic creature,
Perfect, quite, IN every feature,
He has never been discovered and he won't be,

TIE MORE that is told about the late
horrible affair at Roanoke, the more
abhorrent it appears, and the greater
the disgrace it has put upon the name
of Virginia. 1t is almost inconceivable
that white men raised in civilized and
christian country should have mani
tested such brutal ferocity, especially
when they had their prey in their pow
or and when there was no danger of his
escape. That he deserved death, no
right-thinking man denies, but the say
age brutality with which it was inflicted
would have better become the wilds of
darkest Africa than the streets of pop
ulous city in Virginia. The only thing
about the whole affair that is not CEN
surable is the fact that the mayor of the
CITY had the 6rmness to stand up tor
Jaw and order, at least on the first day,
and that his soldiers were obedient
enough to obey his command. Some
innocent people may have been hurt,
but, if so, they alone are to blame, not
the mayor, for they should have com
piled with his orders, and kept away
from the neighborhood of the scene OF
1he disturbance.
