'"The second reason is that during all

to know nothing during all that time
that it keeps it's eyes shut, during all

[Applause from the extreme left.
The request Of the government for a
months delay was granted by 257 votes
against 223.
When the vote was announced, the
socialist deputy, Jules Guesde, justly
shouted to the ministry: "During that
month the government will have to bear
the responsibility Of all the bombs that
may exploded" With equal justice
Chsrpentier said: "This vote is q shield

It 10 worth while Rnalyzing the vote.
The 22S cast by the opposition in favor
Of an immediate investigation came, with
the exception Of Eve or six, from the
right, entirely from the republicans and
socialists. The 257 votes for the gov.
ernment include 100 votes from the
clericsls and the monsrchists. The gov
ernments majority was made up by the
SchnsiderS, the Henry Cochins, Princes,
such as the Arsnbergs, the Aillisres,
Counts, such as the Elvas, bsrons, such
as the Macksus, and such other worthless
and shaky friends. The republican ma
jority pronounced itself against the
ministry; thus, the existing ministry
governs only with the support Of the
right; accordingly, the ministry has not
only reoeded to the right, 1t has betrayed
the republic.

Our Police System.

1t is fact, and can be proven, that the
police Of this city are the most brutal in
existence. In no other city in the world
are the police endowed with such COM
plete authority as here; in Russia, they
but obey higher officials; they cannot
without orders arrest and club ss they
please, being responsible to no one.
Here, il they have masters, they are not
always officials above them, and all OF
their pay does not come from the city.
AS far as can be seen, they do not seem
answersble for anything they do. As
our reporter has seen, they arrest inno-
cent people and use their clubs freely il
there is the least resistance, and the vic.
tim, though he may escape without fur
ther punishment" has no redress, no
compensation for his sufferings. Such Q
man cannot feel any too well toward law
and order. Is it safe to turn loose 80
many embittered and misused men?
What can be better calculated to create
rebels than this treatment? The cases
Of brutality on the streets towards inno-
cent people or small offenders has be-
come SO common as to create little
attention when mentioned. But it is
none the less horrible, none the less an
outrage on individual liberty; when
every one realizes it, something will be
done. But besides these open outrages,
there are hidden abuses which do not 90

DAIRYING.
While dairying iS annually growing in
Importance, the creameries and cheese
factories throughout the state have often
more local orders than they can supply.
The fact is there ia not nearly enough
milch cows in the state to supply the
home market for dairy products. While
some Of the dairymsn are condu citing the
business on the most improved methods
and consequently making money; others,
who sell milk to the cresmeries, keep
COWS which do not yield above eight
quarts per day and do not milk some Of
their stock to exceed three months in
the year, in fact, they are simply range
stock producing calves and some milk.
The cresmeries pay an average price the
year round Of IS cents per 100 pounds
for fresh milk, and keep only the sepa-
rated cream. The cheese factories pay
about 8 cents per 100 pounds more than
the creSmerieg and return the whey to
the farmers. The average annual whole
sale price of Colorado creamery butter
is % cents a pound. There is q state
law against oleo and a state dairy COM
mission to see to its enforcement. II
more COWS were kept in Colorado and
more butter and cheese made, the by
products would result in greater mum.
ber Of hogs being raised and fsttened,
and Colorado would no longer, as now,
send 8750,00O per Rnnum to other states
for live hogs and an additional $750,0OO
for hog products.
FRUIT RAISING AND MARKET GARDENING.
Colorado does not yet produce more
than 20 per cent. of the fruit it consumes,
and Notwithstanding the great increase
during recent years Of the area planted
to fruit, principally orchards, it is not
at all likely that the supply will equal
the homo demand for many years to
come. Taking the averages of crops and
prices actually obtained during 1893,
as reported by the Denver Fruit Grow
er's association, the following were the
money yields to the acre for small fruits
and vegetables: Strawberries $3.50, black.
berries $500, raspberries e400, ourrsnts
$500, onions 5000, celery $3.50, cabbage
800. The establishment Of more fruit
preserving factories will increase the de-
mand for small fruits. AS to tomatoes,
the average yield to the acre is ten tons
and the canning factories pay 30 cents
per 100 pounds or 800 an acre, but as q
matter Of fact, the great bulk of the
crop is sold at much higher prices in the
retail markets and only the surplus
taken to the canning factories which,
however, put up annually considerably
over 1000 tons, besides large quantities
Of peas, beans, pumpkins, ETC., while the
pickle factories put up hundreds Of tons
Of cucumbers, cauliAower, onions and
the like. A factory recently paid s., 800
to one grower for three acres Of picking
onions. Similar interesting pRrticu-
lars could be given, did space permit,

STREET AssEssNiENTs.
One Effect of Resisting Their
PaSmen shown.

EDITOR THE CITKEN:-I have read
with regret the attempt being made BY
some of the citizens of Ashevile to resist
the payment of the first instalment Of
the street Improvement assessment which
is now due according to law, and that
old adage, consistency thou art a
jewel" came into my mind when well
remember that some of the leaders in
this matter were the prime movers in
having the improvement act passed and
carried out. Not only did they receive
the benefit of the improvement fund in
having good street and sidewalk built
in front of their property, but they
shared pecuniarily outside of that by
being interested in street improvement
contracts.
We expect foreign capital to come in
and invest itself among us to help build
up our city and to assist in bearing our
burden Of taxat on; but as this act bears
upon its face an attempt at reputation
OF a just and honest debt we can scarcely
expect any good results in this direction.
Instead it will have the effect OF produc-
ing lack of confidence in US and OF
driving would-be investors from us
rather than gaining their confidence.
Gentlemen, we have had the benefit of
the improvement in front of our property
in the shape of good streets; we knew the
provisions of the act when we voted for
it; now letus like sincere and honest men,
abide by the consequences and walk up
and pay our assessments as they fall
due. w. o. Wolfe.
