The chairman of the National Pro
hibition committee. Mr.. Dickie of Mich
igan, delivered lengthy address at
the Coliseum before the state conven
ton last week, In the course of which
he offered 50 If any one would tell
him the difference between the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties. Presum-
ing he made the offer in good faith.
this Journal hereby undertakes to earn
the money, draft for which may be
forwarded to the editor on receipt Of
q copy of this paper by Mr. Dlckle.
First. the prime difference between
the Republican and Democratic par.
ties Is that the former took charge of
the government after the Democracy
had wrecked Its treasury and scatter
ed It's available resources, and placed
1t on a sound financial and political
basis. 1t formulated policy which
put thousands of industries in opera.

sands of men and women and placed
the United States easily in the front
rank of the nations of the EARTH in
point OF power and wealth. The tend
ency of Democracy has always been
bourbonistic, forgetting nothing and
learning nothing, they have refused TO
adopt any reform measures. Even the
tariff reform, promised In their last
platform, was 80 much burlesqnc In
the Wilson bill from n Democratic
point of view that Grover Cleveland
couldn't sign 1t. On the other hand
the Republican party is II party OF
progress. 1t gave us the homestead
law, the eight-hour law. liberal pen
sions to disabled and worthy veterans
and stable. uniform currency, the
best the country has had since the
formation of the government. These
are but few points of difference be-
tween the Democratic and Republican
parties. From n disinterested point OF
view 1t does not seem as jf the Pro-
hibition party had any other mission
than to act as an annex to Populism In
Its mad effort to prevent Republicans
from being In office.

Auditor Goodykoontz is very indig.
nant at Republican papers for alleged
repeated Misrepresentation Of the af.
fairs of his Office in particular and Pop
ulists in general. The extreme sensi-
tiveness Of the auditor may be account
ed for in some measure by gro wing
conviction that he and his party will
soon be back numbers in Colorado pol-
itics. His vigorous protests in the line
indicated are the invariable refuge OF
those who find themselves discredited
by reason of having been weighed in
the balance of public approval and
found wanting. Notwithstanding the
inordinate desire of the Populists for
reform, 1t Is significant fact that
when they get control of state funds
they are unable to distinguish between
the rights of the people therein and
their own. A notable example of this
weakness is seen In the diversion by
Secretary of State McClees of unneces-
sary sums for advertising the consti-
tutional amendments in mushroom
sheets that have been brought into ex-
istence for personal political ends. The
term mushroom is used advisedly,
since like that peculiar vegetable those
sheets only breed in highly odorifer.

Albion w. Toufgee thus sets up the
criterion by which a political party
may be judged. 1t is quite applicable
to the populist party in Colorado
Their fiagrant acts certainly do out
weigh their declarations In favor of
reform and good government:
Parties are composed of three essen
tia1 compOnents:
/. Declared principles.
g Adherents who believe In these
principles.
3. Its recognized eXponents, or those
who do certain acts as representatives
of the party.
By these three things party is TO
be judged. The man who estimates
the quality and character of party
by its platform only is SO deficient in
that universal quality known rs COM
mon sense as to deserve to rank as
phenomenon in an idiot asylum. In
certain states of political sentiment
platforms are Intentionally framed to
deceive. They are part and parcel of

who may. and often do. misrepresent
the spirit and purpose of a party. either
through lack of sympathy with 1t or n
desire to fiex and modify the party
policy.
AS the great body of every partys
ndherents is the most important ele.
ment Of party existence, the spirit and
tendency of party must be judged
from its history, the acts of legislation
1t has inaugurated. the popular thought
of its adherents, as well as by it's plat
forms and the declarations of its "lead-
ers." This is the one universal stand
ard by which alone collective object
and purpose can be truly judged Or cor
rectly determined. 1t is the rule of
words and works. by which human
purpose can alone be properly inferred,
and in this, as in all other cases, acts
must be allowed to outweigh declnra-
tiOns.

Jno. Hipp, the apostle of prohibition,
publishes card denying that the plat
form Of that party is narrow, and then
quotes several planks to prove his as
sertion. From a careful reading
thereof one would imagine that an ef-
fort had been made to appropriate the
most popular planks Of the Republican,
Populist and Democratic platforms and
thus form political ola padrida to
catch the dissatisfied elements of all
parties. The whisky plank under the
new arrangement appears as number
eight instead Of number one, as for.

Intentions of the prohibitionists, it is

possInIIITIEs OF THE TELEPHONE.

That marvel, the telephone, is deyel-
opment of the decade, almost. At the
Philadelphia centennial il was very
clever toy, few years later it was ad-
mitted that possibly 1t was practical.
To day New York, Boston, Chicag",
Washington, talk to each other as easily
as if in the same room.
Indeed, the long distance telephone is
so recent, that its promoters themselves
have hardly yet recovered from their
amazement at their own work.
1t has been found that with proper ap
plisncea, distance does not appreciably
affect the accuracy with which the tele-
phone transmits the tones Of the voice.
Then there is hardly limit to availability
of this fin de steele necessity.
Tie Bell patent on the essential princi-
pie Of the telephone expired month ago,
and already cooperative exchanges are
being organized all over the country.
These exchanges will furnish telephones
at less than half the rate Of the Bell mo
nopoly, and will give the man of modest
purse an opportunity to enjoy what has
been regarded as an expensive luxury.
The Electric World now states that
the American Bell Telephone company
and the Postal Telegraph company are
negotiating for consolidation The
object is to replace the present telegraph
services by telephone service, cOnnec-
ting with all exchanges along the Postal
lines This New York electrical journal
speaks of the matter as ii the two con
Germs were on the verge Of fconsolidation.
This seems a bold m1ve, but great
things demand boldness
The telegraph will eventually be sue
Ceeded by the telautOgraph and the tele-
phone. 1t may be used by the govern
ment for its secret service and will con
tinue in use in widely scattered, sparsely
settled districts
1t is hard to attempt forecast Of the
future When man in Durham can
talk TO a New Yorker over the telephone,
and sign a check in his own Handwriting G
in New York over the telautograph, it
would seem that the days Of miracles are
not past
These are not only possibilities. They
are probabilities-alm certainties.
The telephone is the instrument of the
approaching age.

ONE YEAR AGO.

One year ago yesterday a new party
took the reins of government and men
representing new principles were put in
charge of national affairs. The time was
critical. The Mckinley tariff had been
pronounced failure. The tidal wave
of the autumn of 1892 was a protest
against the policy that had prevailed in
the party in power, and which for the
twenty-five years it had prevailed had
steadily enriched one section at the ex
peIse Of the others. The new admins
tration was an evidence of the desire for
change. The Chicago platform promised
relief to those who had been discrimi-
mated against and laid out policy that
would promote the prosperity of great
interests and not discriminate against
any class.
A year has passed. The promises
made at Chicago are unredeemed Even
that partial attempt at carrying out the
declaration of the platform on the tariff
question, the Wilson bill, hangs fire in
the senate.
We nave the same Mckinley tariff that
we had when the administration went
into power
The Sherman silver act miserable
compromise, has been repealed. But
nothing has been substituted and silver
is worth less than ever before The
promise in regard to maintaining the
parity between the two metals" is unre-
deemed, and silver is in a worse condi
ton than under an administration that
was avowedly opposed to it,
The greatest panic this country has
ever known has occurred. This is not
chargeab.e to any sin of commission Of
the administration, but to sin of omis.
sion.
The party has been offended by the
apathy in regard to substituting demo
Gratis for republicans.
The GLOBE wants 20 be fair aud hon
est with all men.
The Chicago platform was one OF the
best creeds ever proclaimed by any po
litical party. But the creed has not
been followed.
