and stream, measuring distance,
searching for noted points and con-

earth and sky, until time seems to

of wonder and Imagination. This

Modern newspaper enterprise and

from Mr.. Blaine's sick-room, and in
every such Office the telegraph editors,
operators. printers, pressmen, &c.,
have had to lengthen their nightly
vigil a couple Of hours in order to be
sure that when the end comes there
shall be no delay in announcing it to
the country. The number Of men

A crusade against Sunday amnse-
ments in Denver eliminated on Sum
day night in the arrest Of all the per-
formers in the city. Later the resi-
denee of the minister who had started
the crusade was mobbed, and the re-
verend gentleman only escaped with
his life by means Of a fast horse.
However questionable the value Of
pulpit crusades may be to thoughtful
minds, it il small credit to Denver that
her authorities were not able to make
a better showing for the right Of free
speech, and smaller credit to her po-
lice force that any Law should be per
mitted to be violated until spurred e

it to the world in this Columbian time
to prove herself not incapable Of self.
