The Republican Club Convention.

It has been decided to postpone the
the United States until the middle of
June. The decision is a wise one, for the
convention will then be nearer the
campaign than in May, and whatever in
fuenco it may exert will be more effective.
Although this convention is still four
months away, it is not too soon to begin
making plans for it. The League is
big thing, and the convention will contain
several hundred delegates. Every club
in this State ought to be represented; and
to that end they ought to be strengthen
ing their organization and getting In
correspondence with the League officers,
The Republican League is altogether
an auxiliary organization. 1t Is no part
of its business to make platforms or to
bring out candidates. 1t is Republican
militia, whose business it is to keep Re-
publican victory. II is especially young
mems organization. Mr.. Tracy, the
present President OF it, is only about 50,
and Mr.. Humphrey, the Secretary and

are plenty of veterans in it's ranks but
the majority Of its membars are young
men, with all the aggressiveness and
enthusiasm of youth.
There is no need TO say thot a conven-
ton OF enthusiastic Republicans from all
parts OF the country, held in Denver in
June, will be u good thing for Republican
ism in Colorado. The delegates will come
bearing good tidings from aiar OF the
gains constantly making for Republican
principles. Some Colorado Republicans
have felt little lonesome during the
past year, but we believe the League
meeting will convince them that they
need not feel Ion nesone any more.
Tho comir .; OF the spring elections
throughout T. % State affords good op-
portunity for the Republican clubs to get
together and show some activity. and SO
get into shape to give the League the
best reception in Colorado that it has
ever had in any State in the Union. Let
us prepare to show tho League men VIII at

mountain Republicanism is still the old

A EULLET-pROOF DREASTPLETE
The Invention of German Tailor to
Protect Soldiers.

The Invention of German Tailor to
Protect Soldiers.
Proiectile makers in recent years
have expended much money, time and
ingenuity in increasing the efficiency
OF the various missiles that come with
in scope of their cndcavors, and they
have undoubtedly achieved some wou-
derful results. But of what use is it
all? No sooner is the projcctilc i'm
proved to the extent of demolishing
the lilEelicst object of its attach than
some counter improvement is made 70
defeat the improved projectile. Arlnor
plate is made too strong TO be pcne-
trated by missiles of the greatest
known penetration, and then missiles
are madc to penetrate the arrnor, and
stronger armor has to be made. so the
inventors in the two lines keep playing
seesaw with one another, now one up
and now the other, until it seems as ii
their rival efforts must produce about
the same result as if neither had ever
begun. and as If the best way to end it
all was TO mutually agree to do moth
ing.
Here is q German tailor in Mann
helm, for instance, says the London
News, who had apparently defeated
the lately gained and much lauded in
creased penetrating power of the Ger
man rifle ball. He has invented or dis
covered some substance which resists
bullets in a way that greatly astonishcs
military men, and the army lnagnatcs
are after his secret. Military commiE-
sions have made numerous tests and
declared the results most satisfactory.
The inventor has made the material
into sort of cuirass or breastplate in
tended to be fastened to the uniform at
the shoulders and the thighs and
weighing only six pounds. The cur
face of the breastplate is of oriinoiy
military cloth, and the resisting sub
stance is put underneath. Of course it
leaves the head, arms and legs e.
posed. At one of the tests life size
dummy figure of a soldier was dressed
up wiGh one of the shields and set up
to be fred at. Not one of the bullets
that struck the figure went through
the material. They were found i'm
bedded in the coat, all of them fat
tened by the resistance offered. II Or
der to find the probable effect Of Tie
bullets upon n human body the dummy
was covered with soft material EIdar
the brcastplate, and the effect upon il
was but q slight depression, lces than
tenth of an inch beneath where the
ballet struck. 1t seems likely, there
fore, that Il soldier wearing the arsIoi.
would suffer some pain on being struck
by a bullet, and at n short distance
might even be rendered inscnsiblc, but
it is thought he could net lie seriously
injured.

The Wilson bill will not affect Colora-
do as much as many states. but let US
make few predictions. There will not
be tenth the money received west Of
the range for wool il 1894 as there was
in 1892. There will not be one-fourth as
many men in the industry. We predict
that eggs will not be over 10 cents per
dozen in Delta before January l, 1894.
We predict that no sugar factory either
in Utah or Grand Junction will run in
1894 or 1885.

The populist party was born with
great flourish of trumpets. The old parties
were denounced as being utterly un-
worthy Of public confidence any longer;
they were charged with all sorts Of cor
ruption and political chicanery. Tho
new party leaders promised great reforms
Of all kinds, and that il they were only
entrusted with the reins OF government
they would better tho condition OF the
working classes very materially. The
people Of Colorado took them at their
word; they threw over a man who had
been in their service as jurist for many
years, the Hon. Joseph Helm, & tried and
true man, and gave the reins OF tho gov
crnment over to man who was supposed
to represent all that was good and true in
tho populist doctrine, but who has
brought the blush OF shame upon the
check OF almost every citizen within the
borders Of the state. by his utter disrc-
gard for tho laws and lis usuagcs wkere
lhey seemed to interfere with his plans
and purposes.

NECESSARY AMENDMENTS.

There has been a good deal of ridi-
cule of certain suggestions made by a
farmer in behalf of many of his class
as to the estray law which has gone
through the House and may probably
pass the Council. But while he has
not succeeded in irnpressing many of
the members with the Importance of
his views, and he may have been a
little extreme in presenting them, there
is a good deal of force in his objec-
tons to some features of that measure.
There are some amendments which
ought to be made. if it is to pass,
which we ask the thinking men of the
Council to consider. They are these:
Instead of requiring persons dam
aged by trespassing stock to keep the
animals twenty-four hours. permit
them to do so or take the estrays to
the pound at their option.
Allow the persons damaged fair COM
pensation for the loss of time and
means incurred in hunting for the
owners of estrays doing damage and
in taking them to the pound.
Put the responsibility of tracing the
brands. comparing them with the
brand sheets and finding the owner
upon the pound keeper, instead of the
person damaged.
These are the chief amendments
necessary to make the bill something
like just TO the farmers or other per-
sons damaged by intruding animals,
and perhaps all that can be expected
by way of amendment, until the prin-
ciple works its way into the minds of
our legislators that every owner of
stock should be required to take care
Of them and be responsible for damage
that may occur through neglect to

Warner in the House, it reminds those
people who might be disposed to con-
tribute a few pennies per day to the
relief of the Sugar Trust that in 1893,
"a year Of unprecedented losses and
failures, the Sugar Trust was paying
z per cent. on its common stock. and
the nominal capital is supposed to be
not less than three times the real value
of the investment This means that
the Trust made at least % or 80 per
cent. on the investment in the worst
year we have had for long time, and
did it by suppressing competition and
keeping the refiner's margin at a point
nearly twice as high as that which
prevailed in period of toIerably free
competition

A FREE TRADE MANUFACTURER

Hon. Tom l.. Johnson, of Ohio, the
manufacturer of steel rails who has
raised such a breeze by advocating
free trade in Congress, has been as
sailed outside the House of Represent
atives as well as inside. He preserves
his equanimity and meets all corners
with gobd nature and with telling
arguments brimful of common sense.
Tammany Times has fine portrait Of
the gentleman, which shows him to be
bold, suave, vigorous and gentlemanly,
and it publishes portions Of letter
which he has written in reply to a
number of appeals to him as a manu-
facturer to help crush the Wilson bill,
and which we copy below.
Mr.. Johnson, being a manufacturer
of steel rails. certainly understands the
true inwardness of the subject He has
asserted that steel rails can be manu-
featured at profit for $40 a ton. The
manufacturers having agreed on a
price they sell for S24 ton. They
have also paid two big mills to shut
down in order to bring the production
within certain restricted limits. When
the existence Of this trust was ques-
toned, Mr.. Johnson revealed the rea-
sons for certain heretofore unexplained
fluctuations in the prices of steel rails
that agitated- that market a short
while since. and proved beyond doubt
that the present agreement to sell
steel rails at $24 per ton brought to the
manufacturer a profit of % per cent.

high time for the Republican polite

honesty on the tariff issue. These

reductions in the wages of working
men, by bluffing and bulldozing, by OBJ
tanning petitions from the dependent
employees of tariff barons, signed I'M

reduction in taxahonl against relief
