COLORADO'S PROBLEM,
Her Governor Calls the Extra Session
In Spite of Protests.

Governor Waite. OF Colorado. issued II call
convening the Legislature in extraordinary
session. He says that this session will give
the Legislature the best opportunity it ever
had u do something for Colorado. This
action has been opposed by the business
men Of Denver and the State ever since it
was first suggested. Mass meetings were
held i'll Denver and at various towns and
cities in the State, at which strong resou-
tton- were passed against the proposition,
and committees Of prominent men have
daily visited the Governors Office to protest
against an extra session. The movement
was strongly opposed i'll Governor Waites
home town, Aspen.
Lieutenant Governor Nichols is hostile to
the session. The impeachment talk has be-
gun again, and further efforts will be made
i'll that direction. The influential men of
the State will strive 10 prevail upon the
members of the Legislature to meet and
promptly adjourn, but the fact that the
Governor has included in the call a large
number of bills that failed to become laws at
tn" last session indicates that he hopes to
prolOng the session for at least sixty days.

FOURTH OF-JULY ORATORY.

The passage Of the tariff bill it is
now thonght will eventuate about the
goth OF June. That's rather lucky in
view of the near approach of the 4th
of July, when the patriotic orator
wants clear sweep and an encourag
ing outlook to talk about to his mix-
ed audience. To talk on both sides of
politics is the only safe way for the
painting Fourth. Of July orator who
wishes to please everybody. He
should do this at the risk of being
termed a demagogue-which perhaps
he is - in order to have no battles to
fight after he leaves the stump or ros-
trum, as the case may be.
The Fourth Of July orator who can
see all the political virtues and chris
tlan graces in his own party, and all
the deviltry and common weaknesses
peculiar to both parties securely cor
raled with the enemy, ought to have
a pack Of fire. crackers tied to his coat
tail while in the act Of delivery, just
to confuse his ideas if nothing else.
