On the ground that the decision of
Justice Winter caused grave constitu-
tional issues which only the people
could decide. They also gave him to
understand that should he refuse they
would make any legislation impos-
sible. The governor, Sir Terence
O'Brien, ga real old Irish soldier" and
q man with a keen sense of honor, saw
that a dissolution would mean the
quashing of all the trials and allow the
accused men to escape, because if the
legislature were dissolved they would
be eligible to contest seats again. their
disqualification only lasting during the
existing parliament. lie therefore re-
fused to dissolve, declaring that every
man accused must stand his trial and
be proven either innocent or guilty.
The imperial government, to whom he
is primarily responsible. sustained hi-a
in his action. The Whiteway party
began to put the screws on him.
They wanted to resign their
seats. He refused to accept the
designations and they then resorted to
the most desperate course that con-
stitutional government can take. They
stopped the ordinary financial appro-
priations necessary to carry on the
public service of the colony. They had
previously tabled the revenue tariff
bills of the assembly, but had not
passed them. These they now with
drew, and at the same time passed
resolutions declaring that it would be
q violation of the principles of constr
tutional government to intrust the
government of the colony. into the.
hands of men who numbered only ono
third Of the elected representatives Of
the people. This done, the executive
council. or ministry. placed their res
igna tions in the hands of the governor
To man of ordinary caiiber these
steps would have been sufficient to
force a surrender, but fortunately
Gov. O'Brien was of sterner mold He
might have submitted and shielded
himself behind constitutional usages,
for the Whitewayites were apparently
masters of the situation, as their oppo-
nents were not sufficient to constitute
quorum of the assembly, quorum
being thirteen, and they numbering
only twelve But he was determined
that justice should take its course,
so called upon Hon. a. f. Goodridge,
leader of the minority, to form min
istry. This he did, and then the gov
eTnor, despite votes of want of con-
fdence in the new ministry and the
barring OF the assembly doors on his
messenger by the Whiteway majority,
prorogued the legislature to await the
action OF the esurts on the other cleo
ton petitions In due time some came.

and disqualified Hon James P Fox,

liam Whiteway, the premier, was re-
elected, with following of twenty
four members in house Of thirty-six.
His adversaries. the 0rfeve- Monroe
party, had both their leaders defeated,
and the verdict looked crushing one
against them. In the matter of policy
there was very little difference be-
tween the parties; as natter of fact,
politics here is usually a struggle be-
tween the ms" who want to stop in
Office and the "outs," who want to
get there, and they are known as
the government and opposition, re-
spectively. The minority declared,
after the election was over. that
the other side had won by bribery and
corruption, and threatened to contest
the seat: but the victors ascribed these
threats TO their disappointment and
disregarded them. Here they made a
mistake, however, for on January 6 OF
this year, the last day allowed by law
for contesting these elections, the mi
nority filed petitions against the re-
turn of seventeen of the twenty-four
members OF the Whiteway govern

ADenver & Rio Grsnde engineer, saws

citing incident of railroading in Colo

the Santa Fe lines run parallel from
Denver south TO Pueblo. From Denver
TO Palmer lake, sixty-seven miles, the
road makes an ascent of two thousand
feet and from Palmer lake TO Pue bio the
descent is two Thousand feet in about
the, same distance. At several points.
notably ten miles south of Palmer
lake. the grade is something terrific.
At a point six or eight miles below
Palmer lake there Is. a siding where
cars are occasionally set out when a
train is too heavy to make the summit
of the divide.
A Santa Fe freight running from
Pueblo 10 Denver, had made this sid

relating the story, and was doing some

This decision meant conviction for
every one of the remaining fifteen, and
conviction meant exclusion from po-
litical life for three years and possibly
forever, as the vacancies created would
be filed up with new men who would,
by the advent of another general cleo
ton, be too strong to be easily ousted.
An awkward predicament faced the
Whiteway party. The legislature was
in session and their measures partly
considered They adjourned it for a
week and sat down to discuss
the situation. AZ result of their
deliberations, they decided to de-
mand that the governor dissolve
