DON'T BE TOO QUICK.

The Denver Republican declares il
will haul down its colors as a national
Republican paper If Wall street Influence
is to be made test of Repnblicanisnl, as
some suppose. In a strong article set
ting forth its reasons for the contem-
plated step the Republican makes this
ominous declaration. sit might as well
be understood now as at any other time
that if the bimetallic pledge OF every
national Republican platform since 1872
has no binding force upon the con-
science or the common sense of eastern
Republicans, their western brethren will
refuse henceforth to support the policy
of protection which in the past has done
SO much for the east and SO little for
the west" The esteemed contemporary
should not be too quick to anticipate.
In the first place no Republican ofrecog-
nized ability to speak for the party has
intimated SO much as an inclination TO
abandon tie party's long maintained
position in favor of bimetalisnl-for both
gold and silver on the parity-ard in
the second place it should not lose sight
Of the fact that if silver IS demonetized
and a single gold standard set up it viii
be the work of the Democratic party.

BUILDING 4 FIAT RAILROAD.

'The Dakota, Wichita and Gulf Rail
road company has charter Issued by

The capital stock of this new rail.
road corporation is $4,000, coo. The
capital stock is "barren ldealitv," to
use popular phrase of greenbacll times.
1t is said with considerable gravity that
the road will be 1000 miles long, ex-
tending from Dakota to the Gulf of

unless mere fiat road is comptem-
plated. With almost certainty that
the bonds will be repudiated as soon as

Is not likely that the sale Of the entire

for taxing purposes in that state for from
80 per cent to $50 per cent of its cash
value, while farm property, worth from
$40 to $50 an acre, is listed at from 50 to
IS an acre, or less than one-tenth of its
average value. The PopuIist policy
toward railroads is TO reduce rates so that
no profit Is left and to tax them on an
assessment greater than the value o.
their property. With this record they
propose to build a railroad for the pur-
pose OF carrying all their products ont of

As to Women suffrage.

In letter TO the attorney general.
Mrs. S. \. Thurston raised an important
question in reference to the resolution
passed by the last legislature to submit
nit a suffrage amendment to the consti-
tuition to the people at the next general
election. Mrs. Thurston calls General
Little's attention 10 the fact that the
wording of the enrolled resolution and
that printed Ill the session laws do not
agree.
In the enrolled resolution it is pro-
vided that every citizen who shall be a
resident of the state SIX months shall be
eligible to vote while the reolution
printed in the session laws makes che
year the qualification.
After making an investigation the at
torney general says the printing in the

tuition provides that such resolutions to
