EDITOR MIDLAND JOURNAL:
As reader of your valued paper
must say that have been much interested
in reading the account of the Farmers
Institute held in the Town Hall, also the
topics there presented and read before the
audience; being present upon that occasion
! fully unite with you in pronouncing it a
grand success. was particularly interested
in the many pertinent questions presented
and answers thereto. 1t really looks as
though the farmer, who has long been sleep
ing in ignorance and folly, is being awak-
ened TO his real sense and duty. The ques-
tion in regard to the difference between an
accommodation and business note, certain
ly was handled and answered in business
like and satisfactory manner. The comments
on the exercises of the meeting were Ger
taiDly very encouraging, and from whom
such deserve much credit. While believe
there are many who tell the farmer that he
is better off than other classes at the present
time, mean we'll, and tell the truth, too, for
| do think the average farmer is at least as
well off as the average man in town or city.
He is mostly sure OF enough TO eat and TO
wear, and he is under no great expense,
ercept IL be taGes on portion of the farm that
he does not own. While have no desire
TO mislead / fear sometimes these sugges-
lions in some cases are an attempt to con-
vince the farmer that he has not very much
to complain of, and that he Is in fairly
prosperous condition. To any intelligent
mind this is folly and almost an insult.
Men who are not receiving enough for their
products to pay the cost of producing them
cannot be hoodwinked into the belief that
they are prosperous, Notwithstanding bank
account may show fairly we'll.
Men who are being plundered by rail road
corporations and trusts until there is no
margin of profit left them, will not be
deceived by the suggestions that they are
peculiarly fortunate. And men who feel
and know that the money power OF the
country is seeking to grind them down, will
not be coaxed to believe that conditions are
what they ought to be 1t is true the farmer
is not yet a pauper or beggar, but he is
being pushed in that direction with all the
energy that Satan in his greed could muster
But it is to be hoped the farmer will remedy
some of the wrongs under which he suffers
al the ballot box in the near future.

Tie Assessment Bill is to be
reported from the Committee to the
Honse on next Tuesday. The Bal
timore Suns reporter speaks of the
undue haste in not giving the "bus-
mess men" time to present their
views. The Cuisines men, here
alluded to are the tax dodgers, and
the undue haste of the Senate and
House complained of is the purpose
of getting the bill passed before the
day ofadjournment. There are but a
few days left of the session. If the
'busisess men, were permitted to
talk all they want they would use up
every day of the session, and leave
no time to pass the bill over Cover
nor Browns veto. The cuisines
men" for whom the San speaks are
evidently aiming to work the same
game they did at the last session.

A STRIKE IN THE DEW DROP

Mine at ward.

Rich Development. In Newly Opened
Min. at Ward.
Ward, Colo, Sept. 21.-A strike has
been made In the Dew Drop min, :,
which will have the effect of drawing
attention to the great ore bodies N
this part of Boulder county. Five feet
of smelling ore Is now exposed in the
breast of the tunnel which is in about
400 feet. Fifteen or twenty tons are
already out and shipments will begin
Mt once. The different pay seams run
as high as $500 to s4OO per ton. nearly
all gold, and it Is believed that the
entire body will average 500 or more.
The mine has shown well for Its en-
tire length at the surface. but the value
was only about S16 per ton. and other
monster veins have been considered
too low grade. but 1t Is now demon
strated that depth will show wonders
in mineral.
The Dew Drop is being operated un-
der bond and lease by N. G. Merrill
and mill will be put up Mt once. 1t
Is in California gulch about mile
southwest of Ward in n district little
developed as yet, outside the old Cal
ifornia mine, which was worked Mt
great profit years ago, but owing to
difficulties among the owners. and the
death of some of them, has been idle
for a long time.

When ones digestion is normal l.e
doesn't know that he has a stomach :
when 1t Is bad, he thinks he is all
stomach, 80 great an influence does
that important member exert upon the
human anatomy. In political sense,
when things are conducted decently
and In order, the governor of the
state is merely a pleasing incident of
NJ organization. But under the gro
tesQue administration of Waite, Colo
RADIO has been made to feel as II she
were all governor. This arrogant and
outrageous abuse OF authority in eX-
ercising the functions of his office has
induced a very bad case Of political
dyspepsia, to cure which after next
January she will be put on different
regime. She will not have too much
governor. as at present. but just
enough for her happiness and pros
perity. The name of the gentleman
who will be called on to occupy the
executive chair for the coming two
years is Albert W. McIntire.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

A. w. McIntire, the Republican nom-
inee for governor, Is plain. unassum-
ing gentleman, thoughtful man, and
In no sense Of the word politician.
Though the recipient of a liberal edu-
cation, and the possessor Of a mod
crate fortune, he has lived a quiet life,
following farming and stock raising
and studying the social and economic
problems of the day. He Is one Of
those genial men who is not hedgsd
about with any mannerisms. The
humblest as well as the greatest are
met with easy courtesy and made to
feel that McIntire is In the truest
sense q man.

DESHA SEEKS WAR.
ARMED WITH A DIRK KNIFE.
Breckinridge's Son Stabs . MaR Who OPP
poses his Fathor.-Threatens Judge
K'nkoad.

Lexington, KY. Sept. 21.-Desha
Breckenridge had q sensational alter
cational with James Daunce Livings-
ton, formerly Of New York city, in the
Phoenix hotel this evening. Livings-
ton was standing at the news stand
reading when Breckenridge came in
and bought a package of. cigarettes.
Livingston spoke to Desha and extend
ed his hand, saying: tits all over
now, we ought to be friends; shake
hands"
Breckenridge with an angry look on
his face replied: mo. you one-horse
scOundrel, l will not take your hand.
You profess to be a mans friend and
then stab him in the back"
Livingston replied to this by saying
that he had done nothing Of the kind,
when Breckinridge called him a liar.
Then Livingston struck at Desha and
knocked his glasses of. following this
up with blow on the neck.
Desha reached for his hip pocket
and instantly flashed in the air the
long. bright blade of a big dirk. Both
men were as pale as death.
Livingston, In a moment Of despera-
ton, grabbed ut the glittering blade,
which Breckinridge aimed at his
heart. The knife went between the
second and third finger of Livingston's
right hand. cutting the third finger to
the bone. Desha Breckenridge seemed
to desire no more blood and gave Liv-
ingston two strong kicks.
The hotel clerks and several by
ISLANDERS rushed in and seized Breckin-
ridge, and at the same instant Matt
Lane, strong Breckenridge man. ran
up and said that he would take a
hand in helping Desha.
Two witnesses say Lane also flour
ished big knife, but Lane denies this.
Livingston was hurried to the wash
room and then taken to a physician,
where his hand was dressed.
Just before the trouble occurred
Desha and Lane met Judge George B.
Kinkead on Main street. kinkead
made several speeches during the cam
paign denouncing Colonel Brecktn-
ridge in the most scathing terms.
Desha Breckinridge said to Judge
kinkead that the election was over
and he wanted to tell him he was a
liar. The judge replied that he
was unarmed and did not want to
have any difficulty on the open street
Desha told him to go nrm himself and
he would meet him anywhere or at
any time. He repeated this several
times.

NOT AFRAID OF PLANTERS.
Democrats Say the Boilers Cannot Hurt

tne Arkys
Washington, Sept. 21.-The Repub-
lican managers of the campaign COM
mittee are greatly pleased at the &C
ton of the planters convention In
Louisiana yesterday. At the Demo-
cratic headquarters the Louisiana ar
fair is made light Of. They insist that
the Republicans have no possible
chance of getting more than one dis
trict and express the opinion that even
that will not be done. Senator Faux
ner said that he was not alarmed
about Louisiana; that he had no
doubt about the election OF a Solo
Democratic delegation from the state.
The planters, he said, were not strong
enough to affect the result. Repre-
sentative Catchings, who was passing
through. the city on his way to Mis-
slssippi, said:
II am delighted at this action Of the
planters. If that element in Louisiana
goes over to the Republican party IT
will make the way easy for free sugar.
The demands of the Louisiana plant
ers have been an embarrassment TO
the Democratic party and shall not
be at all grIeved to have them cut
loose Even II they should succeed III
sending Republicans to Congress that
would not be a matter Of great con-
sequence to the Democratic party.
However. the state is Democratic
without the planters and we can very
well afford to have them in the oppo-
sition."
In answer to the suggestion that the
vote of Louisiana might be important
should the next presidential election
be thrown into the House, General
Catchings said that he thought there
was no probability that the House
would be called upon to elect the next
president.

waite's Friendship" for the work
ingmen has resulted in the incarcera-
tion of thirty-nve of them In the El
Paso county Jail and number of
others are either refugees or out on
bail on charges Of riot and murder in
the Cripple Creek troubles. Waving
all questions as to the original merits
Of tho strike, il 1t not fact that
Waite as governor OF Colorado not
only made no attempt at peaceable
and fair settlement but deliberately
encouraged some Of the radical dis.
contented leaders Of the strike to be
live that he would protect them in any
course they chose to pursue? And
did not this fact prolong and aggra-
vate the trouble to the detriment Of
the workingman? Does any honest,
level-headed miner to-day thank Gov
ernor Waite for thus keeping the
mines idle and for the loss OF wages
resulting therefrOm? Does any man
now in jail for being the victim of mis-
placed confidence in the power of the
SOVeTuOT " pIOteCt liL1 III NIoH1liiS
the law, feel satisfied with Waite's
management Of the affair? Yet vote
for Waite In November is a vote to
endorse . policy that will ferment
instead Of allay labor troubles; is
a vote to promote friction between In
Dor and capital and to prevent invest
ment in mining and other Industrial
enterprises. The Republican party, II
in power, would restore the confidence
90 necessary to secure activity in in
dustrial lines. The stable government
administered go as to protect all Of its
citizens in their life and property as
we'll as their liberty and pursuit Of
happiness, 10 what all good citizens
want That II why there is so gen
eral q sentiment favorable to the cleo
ton Of McIntire for governor. With
men at the helm like those found on
the Republican state ticket, grand old
Colorado will again enter upon that
career Of prosperity to which she II
% Justly entitled.
