CAPITAL NOTES.
WAITE BREEDING TROUBLE.


If the Colorado people rely upon
the national government to use it's
military force against the Cripple
Greek strikers without application in
due form FROM the governor or the
legislature they will be sOrely disap-
pointed. Although no application for
federal intervention has yet come to
the war department they will be q D
solutely without result If they do
come. The reason as explained by
che war department is that there is
no authority to be found in law for
federal action. The issues involved
are regarded as purely state and not
national in their present aspect.
TIE suggestion that the national
government might intervene between
Waite and the sheriff's force under
cover of section 5,2S7, Revised Stat
utes, was disposed of. That statute
was framed in reconstruction days to
permit the national government to go
into state to protect any of its clGl-
zens when they were denied protec-
ton by their own state officers. The
opinion here prevails in the war de-
partment that if Governor Waite vic.
lates the law he can and will be re-
strained by the state Judiciary, and
they are looking for some termination
of the difficulties. This may he
done by restraining order, or
as has been intimated in pri-
vate advices from Colorado, received
here by very high official, by pro-
ceedings in curt, that if successful
would result in the lieutenant govern
or succeeding to the chief office in the
state. Of course in case of threatened
disturbance at Denver the people will
be amply protected by the presence
of the military regardless of any &C.
tion of the governor, for there is suffi-
cient warrant TOR the use of the troops
to pr tect United States property and
this would involve the maintenance
of good order,
