the biggest mistake of his campaign when

is so broad in its scope that the whole ma

1t Is now year since congress was called
together, and it has practically been in
continuous session ever since. In the
meantime it has done some things that it
ought to have done and it has left undone
more things that it ought to have done
before this, and, to follow the words of the
prayerbook, it's miserable sinner.-[ Bos-
ton Herald.
Complaint is made that the senate is I'M
responsive to the popular demand for
Democratic tariff reform. This is not so.
That popular demand died out long ago,
and the country is thankful that there is
strong senatorial brake on the Demo-
cratic wagon. 1t is that the senate does
respond to popular demand, that it fails to
join the house in slaughtering the coun-
try's industries. Courier.

CONFLICTING ORDERS
Remarkable Situation Growing
Out of Waite's Squabble.
Both the Old and the New Police Board
Restrained by Injunctions Issued
by Different Judges.

DENVER. Col, March 29.-Late this aft
ernoon Judge Glynn, sitting in the District
Court, issued an order for an injunction
restraining the old police board from in
terfering with the new board pending the
settlement of the controversy between the
two boards in the courts on the quo war
ranto proceedings. The sheriff is also en-
Joined from taking a hand in the contro-
versy. AS Judge Aliens injunction re-
strains the new board from interfering with
the old board the two injunctions leave the
city in almost the same state as martial
law would. The police and fire departments
are tied up. and even the sheriff cannot
act in case the partisans of the two warning
boards should clash. A report published in
morning paper that Governor Waite has
decided to declare martial law is unfounded
If clash should occur between the rival
police forces IL may become necessary for
him to take that step.
Chief of Police Stone was arrested to-day
at the instigation of the new" fire and

and creating disturbance in clearing the
corridors OF the City Hall last night of a
crowd which threatened TO take possession
of the building. The charge of drunkenness

$40 by Judge Frost, who is a Populist, for
creating a disturbance. The Chief took an
appeal to the county court. Two other off,
