If. as has been reported. 800 an
archists are on their way to this country
because of very stringent laws made
against them by France and England,
then the sooner congress takes action
in the matter the better. There are
already too many anarchists on this
side OF the water without importing
any more 1t has become serious
question what to do with these mad
dogs of the human race. European
counties drive them out by passing
such stringent measures that they are
afraid to remain, and they then flock to
the United States where they propagate
their hellish doctrine of hate, riot and
murder. OF course they ought to be
shot, but just where to draw the line
is the thing to decide. However, the
question of the hour is to head off
those now about to land on these shores,
and on that point there should be no
quibbling

THE real cause of populism is hard
times Let prosperity return and pop
ulism would be remembered only in
political history. 1t is only natural
that men who are suffering the priva-
tions of want and hunger should make
public complaint. 1t always was thus
and always will be, but until the hard
times of the last two years this class
was comparatively few-so few, in
fact. that their complaint was too
feeble to be heard. 1t is also very
natural that the discontented should
band together. for "misery loves COM
pany." They banded, and the forma-
tion of the populist party was the re-
suit. As matter of fact democrats
who became dissatisfied with their
party in the last presidential campaign
because of its attitude on the silver
question, had much to do with starting
the third party. Aside from this fact,
also, there is large office seeking
element that encourages and fosster rs
the third party idea for selfish ends.
But the rank and file Of the party are
made up Of those who are naturally
shiftless or who have been unfortunate
in the race for bread, and yielding TO
the universal desire to kick against the
regular order of things. they quit the
old parties and find congenial COM
pany with the populists. Good times
will stop the kicking and kill the party.

The remains of an unknown suicide
at Denver caused much speculative
comment because of the extreme care
of the unfortunate man to conceal
every trace of his identity. but this very
precaution led to the unusual curiosity
which finally proved the body to be
that of Frank Melbourne. the rain
maker 30 prominent short time ago
Melbourne has never admitted the
failure of his rainmaking machine, but
1t has been evident for several months
past that he was disappointed. and
since February his relatives and friends
in Wyoming had lost track of his
whereabouts. He certainly possessed
a power known to but few il any
others, ms is evidenced by his total or
partial success in producing rain on
several occasions, but it is feared that
his secret lies buried with him in the
grave. Who knows but that had he
lived he would have accomplished
great results, and that in the untimely
death of the wizard the science of rain
making has been set back many years.

He who talks against capital coming
into the state is doing harm to himself,
his neighbor and the whole common.
wealth in general. With plenty Of
money pouring into Colorado there will
be an abundance of work for everybody
and at good wages. Any man who
cares to be honest about the matter
must know this to be true, and he
must also know that in soaring capital
away he is standing In his own light.
SINCE Senator Barela, the idol of the
Mexicans and strong man with the
people of Las Animas county generally,
has decided to run for state treasurer
on the peoples party ticket. the friends
of Harry Mulnix will claim that there
is more necessity than ever for his
nomination on the republican ticket,
his popularity to be used as wedge
with which to split the dangerous
ranks of the powerful opposition. This
claim will be made in the convention,
and it will require some tall hustling on
the part of other candidates to head
it off.

The only paper in town that is ad-
| vocatlng the nomination of w. l.. Rees
for commissioner is that scurrllous
rat" sheet the Patriot. Mr. Rees
must be mighty hard up when
he gets the only "rat' newspaper in
town to support him. Workingmen,
as union men or as friends of unionism,
how do you like it2
| A. w. Lennard is doing great deal
of earnest and effective work for his
party and deserves well at the hands OF
the republican convention.
Registration will not be necessary
for a person to vote at the primaries
next Tuesday evening, it beng nee
essary however, for the person offer
ing to vote to be n bona fide resident oil
the precinct and to be republican
or who has fully made up his mind tc
vote that ticket at the approaching
election.
Politically there is north and south
Pueblo. This can be said without hurt
ing the tender feelings of those whc
contend that there is no geographical
distinction. Without discussing the
latter proposition let it be admitted
that in politics there is north Pueblo
and such being true, that portion OF
the town is entitled to one of the two
district judges. E. c. Glenn is the
man from the north side and he is in
every way worthy of nomination.
If fortune should place him on the
judges bench, Hon Fred Belts would
always be found on the side of justice
and mercy. He is man of unusual
ability, of high character, and who
would always have the courage of his
convictions in disposing of case, He
is exactly the man needed, and those
who attend the primaries should begin
the work of placing him on the bench
right by voting for delegates favorable
to him.
Things were getting rather persona
in senatorial quarters the other da,
when one candidate frankly told anothe
aspirant that he didn't think he tthe
other aspiranp was qualified to fill the
position. But then bluntness is said tc
be characteristic of the men of the
west.
The judiciary selections being the
most important they should be made
first in the order of nominations.
Nothing succeeds like success.
AS city attorney of Bessemer for thret
years L. q. Glenn never lost case,
and now he is remembered by the people
here who are anxious to assist him by
their votes to the election of district
judge. Mr. Glcnns best efforts fol
the people of Bessemcr were as bread
cast upon the waters.

knowledge and training to make an
exceptionally good prosecuting district
attorney.
One of the surest signs that w. II.
Hubbard will get the nomination for
county commissioner is that his party
is almost a unit for him. When candi-
dates for many other offices talk of
their chances Of success they usually
say, IF was only as sure of getting
there as Hubbard is would feel all
right" His nomination and election is
| fast becoming conceded fact among
all who have been keeping track of
public sentiment.

Tuesday. and in the city from ) to 8
