publication has not deferred the Pop
ulist secretary of state from enaourag-
Ing the issuing of dozens of hand bills,
called newspapers, whose sole reason
for existence is to get pay from tho
state for printing the constitutional
amendments and thus be enabled to
advocate the reelection Of the Populist
ticket. The fact that all the people are
required to pay for this improper d.
version Of public funds, makes no DIFF
ference to McClees. He seems to think
he can divert state funds to suit him
self. GOodykoontZ is, however, block
ing his game at present.
The effort of the Denver News 10
paign will fall to the ground Of its own
weight. After the truth of its first
charge that Judge McIntire is an A.
P. A., was challenged in a bustantial
way by the offer of $1,000 reward for
any proof Of his connection with that

however dishonorable to discredit the
Republican party. The News well
knows that with the A. P. A. as an or.
ganization the Republican party has
nothing whatever to do and makes no
attempt to demand religious test In
regard to its members by enquiring
whether they belong to the A. P. A. Or
the Catholic church. A mans relig-
ious connections are a matter Of total
Indifference to the Republican party,
so long as he is a good citizen who
honors the flag and endeavors to main.
tain the purity and integrity Of our
government and institutions. Neither
does the party assume to dictate to
what, If any, secret organization he
may belong. The tenets of the party
broadly stated, are: An economical
and business administration of govern
ment, the fullest liberty of opinion and
action that does not degenerate into
reasonable license and the equal pro-
lection Of all under the constitution
and the law. The only test applied to
candidates is the time honored ono:
SIS he honest; is he competent" The
fact that he is member of the Cath.
olic, or any other church, or the A, p.
A. or any other secret society, cuts no
figure. Demagogues and bigots are
trying to apply this new test for purely
selfish purposes.

And now come the army of hungry
Popults editors over the state who, by
virtue of lavish promises by Secretary
McClees, have started up alleged daily
newspapers for the purpose of looting
the state treasury in the illegal publica-
ton of the constitutional amendments
They are very hungry and filed with
solicitude because they are informed
the the legend mo funds has been
written across their applications for
pay. Some of them are writing urgent
letters to the state house stating that
they will discontinue the publication
of these sheets at once unless promptly
secured for their pay. Others are en-
deavOring to sell the "infuence" Of
these sheets to the Republican commit
tee. Truly these enterprising newspa-
per e. men have fallen on rocky times.
Their only hope now is in the election
of Populist legislature which will
pass deficiency bill to enable them
to clinch the $4,000 raid on the state
treasury.

1875. Many of his immediate friends, and
among them his former preceptor and part
ner, tried their best to dissuade him from
voting a Republican ticket In that strong
hold OF Democracy: assuring him that 1t
would work strongly against him as a
young man, in his business, to fly in the
face of the dominant political element of
the community. Nevertheless, Shafrotll
voted according to his convictions.
On Coming to Denver, he formed a part
nership with Judge Andrew w. Brazec:
and shortly afterward with Stalcup I.u.
the.
Not long after that, Mr.. Luthe was elect,
ed district attorney; Mr.. Shafroth was
made his first assistant, and did the prin.
cipal part Of the work under Mr.. Luthe.
Mr.. Shafroth was elected city attorney Of
Denver In 1887, and reelected In 1889, when
he led his ticket by about 1 800 votes.
In 1889 he formed partnership with
Judge Platt Rogers Of Denver, which part
nership still exists.
Mr.. Shafroth was married In 1881. to Mis-

childhood, In his native town OF Fayette.

The constitution of the state Of Colo
RADIO requires that amendments shall
be published ninety days before elec-
tion, in newspapers of general circu-
lation. The trainers of the constitu.
ton never contemplated the use of any
thing but papers already in existence
and having a circulation that would
make it certain that the voters would
see the amendments and thus be no.
tlfed of the attempt to add them to
the constitution. Less than the re-
quired notice will invalidate an amend
ment. How can it be claimed that such
notice has been given by being print
ed in papers which having no circula-
ton when first published, cannot give
notice. This may seem a legal qulb-
BILE, but there are many first class law
yers who insist that this objection is
absolutely good. This is not the worst
objection TO the method. 1t is not only
a rank steal but encourages an abom-
Unable corruption in handling Of state
funds. The starting of such a lot of
alleged newspapers for purely political
purposes is especially demoralizing in
any community. The attempt to thus
unnecessarily burden the tax payers
of Colorado will be rebuked in a sub
stantial way by the next legislature,
which will be Republican and which
will refuse to make any appropriation
to pay for such work.

home would cost S50,000 but so care fully
has the board OF directors economical the
funds committed TO their care that a larger
building has been constructed than was at
first planned. and that at a cost OF only
$40, 454. In addition TO the monthly dues
OF large mem bership. the fund has been
increased by number of donations from
private individuals.
Many aged people of both sexes have
alreaiy animated their intention of enter
ing The new home. The minimum sum
accepted Tor providing for a person during
the remainder of his life will be an en-
trance fee of from $500 to $500. although
1t Is expected that people Of means will
probably give tenfold those amounts.
1t is expected that large mum Der of the
general public will be present at the nome
tomorrow. as the honsewarming is to be
made a regular festival. Excellent re-
tTeshments will be served by the lady di-
rectors and good band will be in attend
ance. The Institution is easily reached by
taking the brOad-Iauge cars to BROOKLYN

gathering of those interested in the move
ment a SO Montgomery street during the
afternoon, and after considerable discus
sion 1t was finally decided to petition the
next Legislature for an appropriation wish
whicL to establish and fully eQui a dairy
ranch with all the modern appliances.
Professor j. p. r berts, manager of the
horticulture department and experimental
bureau at Cornell University of New
OrR. and who is at present visiting in this
city, appeared before the meeting and
discOUrsed for some time upon the success
attained in many of the Eastern colleges
and universities in teaching dairy work.
He, said that at Cornell :he milk and
butter working house cost $50 600 and was
the most fully equipped OF any in the
United States. The Wisconsin, University
expended over $4,000 in esta bllshiug a
like institution, While many other States
were equally well situated in this line.
Professor HIlgard of the horticultural
department also favored the plan as laid
down, and it was finally decided to leave
the matter of demanding an appropriation
in he hands of the committee previously
appointed to look into the latter.

on brick foundation, contains seventy
handsome rooms for inmates. in addition
10 kitchens, Offices, etc. These rooms are
situated on the first floor and the second

be made available for forty more inmates
at a cost of about $4,000.
1t will be remember that in 1887 MEM

vain effort was made in Judge Dam
gerfeld's court yesterday to find some pre-
text for the setting aside of the indictment
found last month lby the Grand Jury
against John W. Flood. ex-cashier of the
Donohoe- Kelly Banking Company.
AS Flood had succeeded in battling the
intent of one Indictment charging him with

BETTENCOURT LOSES.

Grove of Druids.
Justice of the Peace Willetts yesterday
decided the case of DR.. Bet;encourt VS..
the Grand Grove of California. A. o. D., in
favor of the defendant.
The suit was to recover S299 for alleged
services rendered in translating a Portu-
guese ritual.
On the day that Bettencourt brought the
suit he also had the grand secretary of the
order arrested for embeZzlement, charging
that he had embeZzied he amount of his
bill from the Grand Grove. The latter
case came UP before Police Judge Low,
and was by him very promptly dismissed.
Judge Willetts decided that the Grand
Grove had no contract with Bettencourt to
do the work. but that the agreement WAS
with the grand secretary. The latter Off
cial did not pay the doctors bill for the
reason, as he claims, that the work OF
translating was not properly performed.
The grand secretary now. declares that
he proposes to bring suit against Betten-
court for heavy damages for the arrest.
