Hard Work viii win.

The prospect of return to COM
mon sense in the administration Of
Colorado's affairs grows brighter eve-
ry day. The incubus Of populism bids
fair to kill itself by its own excesses.
The people have become thorough
ly disguised with the disgraceful and
extravagant populist reign. They
have become 30 accustomed to the in
cendiary utterances Of most Of the pop
ulist officials and leaders, that only
the most persistently evtravagant at
tract unusual attention, and all are re-
garded simply as eruptions Of popu-
iism. Even the openly avowed sym
pathy of the chief executive for law
breakers and his efforts in his official
capacity to shield some Of them from
the Just punishment Of the law no
longer excite astonishment.
All things are favorable for return
Of good government and prosperity.
II the stay at homes who say the peo-
pie are all crazy and there is no use to
vote will only get out and do their
duty they can wipe away the blot
which makes every community that
suffers under it laughing-stock.
They can remove the chief impedi-
ment to Colorado's development and
secure unpreiudiced consideration OF
the cause Of silver by divorcing it
from the absurdities Of populism.
Let all good citizens take courage.
There are many populists in Colora-
do, but they are in the minority. Let
us repudiate the follies of their reign
and thus secure the confidence and
respect of the nation. Colorado may
be redeemed if we will all do our
duty.-Denver Republican.

VAN AUKEN, THE FoEGER.
He Will BE a Martyr or Victim
Till His Trial.

QUINCY, ILL.,, Feb. IA. M. Van
Auken, the railroad promoter who was
indicted here for the alleged forgery of
the name of President NJ. E. ingalls,, of
the Big -Four systemic bond on which
ne was to receive $4,000. advanced by
a syndicate of Quincy capitalists, was
formally placed under arrest in Blessing
hospital today. Soon after his arrest he
furnished bonds of SIS 1000, signed by r.
f. Newcomb and Chauncey Ii. Castle,
two members of the syndicate he is sup
posed to have defrauded. When seen
0y an Associated Press representative,
Van AUken said he was at his old home,
i'll Milford, Pa. all the time the officers
were looking for him. On the subject
or the charges made against him by the
syndicate. he said he did not care to
talk. He occupied peculiar position
and would have to 5e Il martyr or vic
tim until the time OF the trial, IN May.
by that time he hopes that the project
Will be so settled, one way or another,
and full explanation can be had.
Van Auken declares that he did not see
the bond signed; did not sign it himself
and dld not know it was forged when he
negotiated it. ''Therefore," said he, Il
cannot be guilty of forgery, either as
principal or accessory"
Ii Is learned that local people entered
heavily into real estate speculation ON
the strength of Van Auken's railroad
project and are out about S2OO.O0 i'll
prospective profits, besides having
much undesirable property on their
hands. 1t is for this reason that they
are bitter against him.
