husbands interest in the Orion Lode
Mining company, of Leadville, Col.
The plaintiff alleges she had no
information whatever in reference
to the values of the mining proper
ties in which her husband was in
terested nor of the details of the bust
(! business connected with properties,
and that she accepted Mr.. Hoods
offer to render ner all the assistance
possible in settling up the affairs OF
the estate and in the management
of her own property. The petition
saws in the transfer of certain min
ing properties from himself to the
Plumb estate, and from the Plumn
estate to himself, Mr.. Hood
concealed material facts from her,
and that he furthered his owr
personal interests to the detriment
of the plaintiffs. He acted, accord.

was in the workings OF the
Climb that the absolutism repre-
sented by Marat was brought into most
striking contrast with the principles OF
Lafavette-the principles that neither
the people, the King nor any other
power has the right TO govern except
through the consent OF the governed
that is of the idiyidual units OF the
State. This was the American theory
Of constitutional Limitation power
which Lafayette tried TO put In practice
in France. He failed because the sys-
tenn of government soon became an OIL
garchy, administered through political
clubs, who, in turn, were controlled oy
clioues OF politicians, each one desperate
ly bent on becoming the sole representa-
tive of the divine right Of the peopie,the
sole oracle OF the new God whom 1t was
treason not TO worship in the form
