WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Three bills
which were introduced by Representa-
tive Bailey of Texas, may never be re-
ported from the committee to which
they were referred, but will be offered
TO different appropriation bills and
will no doubt cause considerable DIS
cusslon. They are those to abolish the
retired list OF the judiciary, the army
and navy. 1t is not thought probable
these bills by amendments will be
made part of the Judicial, army and
navy appropriation bi Is, but they will
be offered and arguments made that
the retired lists costs the government
about S3,G00,000 year. 1t will be as
serted that there is no more reason
why officers of the judiciary, the army
and navy should receive pay after their
services with the government cease
than other officials who do not receive
any larger and in case of government
employees, less salary than is now re-
ceived by the judges, the army and
navy officers.
DENVER, Jan. 2.-Senator III. NJ. Teller
arrived from Washington yesterday
for brief visit. In an interview last
night he said the outlook for Colorado
was a very gloomy one, and in his
opiciOn would not change so long as
the present administration is in power.
He was satisfied, however that the
condition of the poor finance was much
better in Colorado than in some of
the eastern states. He denounced
the extra session scheme of Governor
Waite as one Of the worst things that
could had happened to Colorado.
While in Mexico he talked with several
officials regarding Governor Waite's
proposition to circulate Mexican dol
lars in Colorado as legal tender. They
all made much sport of the PROPOSE
tion and declared it was not feasible
He did no. mention it to President
Diss, as he was ashamed to- Mr.. Tel
Ter believes that the United States
might profitably initiate the financial
policy of Mexico, whichs is now the
most prosperous country on the west
ern continent. He looks for no favor
able silver legislation, but believes
that President Cleveland would change |
his silver policy at once should Great |
Britain see her way clearly to advocate |
a double standard. Mr. Teller returns |
to Washington Wednesday.
DENVER, Jan. 2.-Senstor Teller's |
condemnation of the call for special |
session of the Legislature stirred Gov
ernor Waite today to an extreme pitch |
of excitement.
"Either Senator Teller was lying On |
the 18th of October" said the govern
or, "when he said in the United States /
senate If silver legislation failed to |
pass the people would be reduced to a
condition of industrial slavery, or he is |
lying now, when be says the people do |
not want an extra session"
Mr.. Teller, the governor thought. |
considered himself such a big man
that when he opened his mouth no
little dog dare bark. Article l, sec-
ton 10, clause /, of the constitution
was read by the governor in just flea
ton of his action IN asking the state to |
coin money. In this connection he /
asked the following questions:
HAS the general government any |
rights wlatever except such rs We're |
conceded to it by the state and people? |
Are there any original rights which |
congress had delegated TO the states
except under the clause providing for
the admission of new states? Can con-
gress take away from any state any of |
its Constitutional rights?"
"Those D. bankers" said the /
governor, shave lad such a lease of /
power over the people. that they think |
1t high treason when any of the people |
kick against their propositions. They |
expect the paOpie to come down and |
lick their bootheels. Why, If vote |
was taken tomorrow right here IN
Denver, we would lick those fellows
horse. foot and dragons. There are
plenty of men here who are burdened |
with mortgages held by the bankers
Who would be with me in the morning,
but they are afraid of foreclosures"
"Oh, d the bankers" concluded
the governor, with suggestive snap.
