an appropriation from the state to bridge
White river has been proven by the citizens
there going ahead and constructing bridge
on their own account. To say the least, the
appropriation called for in Bill 10 was too large
by half for the work needing to be done.
But let 1t not be understood that are quar-
reling with the amount appropriated in the
bill. We believe, on the contrary, TINT the
state ought not, except in special cases, to put
in public work like this where /; costs Icss
than $1,000. Where IL bridge or public work
costs less than this the local community can
usually manage 1t themselves as they have
since done at Meelser.
And because we have enterprising
citizens who will tax themselves for i'm
provements that the state should make
we'll be kindly permitted to go ahead
and build our own bridges. And $1,000
was too much for bridge across White
river, which averages the year round
twice the volume of water carried by
Yampa river, but $1,000 wasn't too
much for bridge across the last named
stream. Neighbor, quit apologizing and
making excuses for Mr.. Graham and
come out and acknowledge that he
worked against our interests through
downright, unadulterated cussedness.

Wants Absolute Free Trade.

A dispatch from Louisville, KY, says:
About 1,500 enthusiastic Democrats
assembled in the opera house at New
Albany to listen to an address by Senator
Blackburn of Kentucky.
Mr.. Blackburn devoted his time prin-
cipally to a discussion of the tariff. In
closing he said:
There never has been bill that did
more to relieve the burdens of the coun-
try than the tariff bill that had just been
passed. 1t is said by some that it does
not go far enough
81 agree with them" said he, 'for to
suit me it should have gone ON until it
struck the bedrock Of absolute free
trade.
"Give us one more opportunity and
the opportunity will come within forty
days" he said, land we will undo the
vicious Republican legislation"

Characteristic.

"a dispatch tells how six discouraged miners
stumbled onto heavy deposit of gold in
Australia. l see no good to humanity in the
incident. These six men grow rich. but they
will use their unearned wealth to oppress their
fellows, just the same other rich men-evon
worse. say unearned wealth, for the gold
would have no value but for the laws making
the possession Of it imperative under certain
conditions"
The above item was taken from the
Coming Nation Of Saturday, Sept Is.
1894, a leading Populist paper published
in Tennessee, and shows what torpid
liver will throw off from the disarranged
and soured stomach OF the Populisb
party.
The Populist party through its organ
the Coming Nation" attributes the
recent holocaust in the northwest to the
social condition of affairs in this country.
There will be an attempt to rearrange
the heavenly affairs when the Popuist
party present themselves at the Golden
Gates, (if they ever do).

in his name. The secretary of state
had certified the nomination to the
various county clerks in the district and
it was supposed that the matter would
rest there until after the election, when
a lively legal battle was looked for.
Things, however, took another and
unexpected turn Monday night when

The Colorado Springs Telegraph asks:
If the entire state Indebtedness Jan. l,
1898, when the Populist assumed control
of the government, was only SSG2,00
why do they insist on a loan of almost
twice the amount? Having asked this
pertinent question the Telegraph pro-
vides this answer: 40 cover indebted
ness which they themselves have in.
Cured in the past year and a half by
maladministration of affairs. 10 cover
thelarge and altogether needless debt of
the notorious extra session; to cover the
enormous debt incurred by Waite's mill

have so recklessly squandered the peo-
