IN Denver last week the governor
called out the state militia to seat two
appointees on the police board. The
city hall was in possession of the latter
who held it with force of armed po-
lice, and utterly refused to surrender.
The militia was called out TO take it
but the governor ordered a suspension
OF hOstilties before any one was killed.
Talk about anarchy and revolution,
this scene IN Colorado is its very es-
sence. Ever since the precedent of ig-
norlng a governor was set by Kansas
republicans year ago matters have
been growing worse, and now an exam
pie Of the fruits is set before the peo-
pie where old officials will shed blood
before they will be removed from office
This tenacy to Office as we'll as the reyo-
Jutionary measures that accompany it.,
Is one the most dangerous elements in
our government. When men totally
ignore and rebel against the governor
of state, whether it be in Colorado or
Kansas, their recognition of govern
ment il at an end and they are no less
than rebels. Simply because the gov
erDor does not plunge the state into
carnage, submitting rather to their in
suits, does not make their cause more
glorious. Their newspapers may call
them heroes for rebelling, as the papers
of the south did, but that makes them
none the less revolutioniists who do not
recognize government. Rebellion can
be called by no less forcibIe name.

IN last weeks elections in twenty
New York counties the returns showed
very large gain for the pOpullsts and
concluslve!y proved the new party a
prominent factor in the Empire state.
FOnr county officers were elected and a
large vote polled in all the counties,
showing heavy gain where there was
not majority. The fact that popu-
lists have been elected in New York is
a significant fact and serves to encour-
age the boys in the west to hope and
action.

IN opposing a cooperation of popu-

Topeka Advocate says: I'VE do not
believe that our party desires to pur-
chase democEatic votes either by the
sacrifice of our principles or by a di-

remember that the cooperation was
eonsumated in 1892 without either Of
these alternatives and that its position
is untenable and impolitie. If we are
offered help shall we kick those who

A Relic of Old London,

One of the most interesting relics of
old London is St. Johns gate, Clerken-
well, which, because it does not hap
pen to lie in one of the main arteries
of the big city, is not so well known,
even to Londoners, as it should be. 1t
is the only remaining portion of the
important Priory of st. John, which
dates from the fourteenth century. The
old gateway has literary interest at
tached to it, for in the room above the
archway DIR. Johnson worked for Cave,
the printer, for small weekly Stipend;
and the Gentleman's Magazine, which
to this day bears a picture of the arch
way on its cover, was first printed
here. The archway had latterly be-
come much defaced and weather-worn,
but it has recently been restored as
memorial to the duke of Clarence, who
was first sub-prior of the Order of st.
John. The order as now revived en-
braces the St. John Ambulance associ-
alton and is busy IN other good works.

PEIXOTO'S PREDICTION.
APartiSan View of the Brazilian
Situation.
He says the Rebels Have Shown a
Want of Consideration for the
Feelings of Their Enemies.
By the Associated Press.


Rio JANEIRo, Jan. 20.-President
Peixoto, through the minister of foreign
affairs, authorizes the Associated Press
to make the following announcement of
the condition of affairs at Rio and the
prospects of the revolution generally:
The revolt seems to be drawing to
close. The rebels number less than 800
and only the Aquidaban is able to pass
the force at the entrance OF the harbor.
There is DO possibility of the rebels
capturing Rio or Nictheroy, as every
hill is fortified. The regular troops are
still in the barracks, the situation not
having been such as to call upon them
for their services.
All the fighting has been done by the
national guards, who have displayed
great bravery. Almost daily the forts
are called upon to fight with their
heavy guns and the rebel ships have
ombarded the lower portion of the
