THE DENVER WAR.
Two FIRE Departments and Two Po-
lice Forces-A Sensational Case.


DENVER, Colo, March 9.-The
battle between the old fire and po-
lice board and the new members
appointed by Governor Waite, eX-
pected today, has been postponed
until after the temporary injunc-
ton granted last night, restrain
ing Messrs. Martin and Dir from
interfering with the old board, has
been disposed Of by the court,
which will be within the next
ten days. The only Inconvenience
the city will experience
during this time will be in having
two fire and police boards, and two
chiefs of police. The de facto
board will be composed OF the dis
missed members, Jackson Orr, J.
Martin and A. J. Rogers, with A.
w. Kellogg as chief of police. The
de lure board will be Dennis Null
lens and S. d. Barnes, the new ap-
pointees, and A. J. Rogers, with
John Il. Farley as chief of police. 1t
Is believed that the majority
of the policemen favor the old
board. Should this prove true,
every one Of these, including the
lieutenants, sergeants and patrol
men, will be discharged by the
new board as soon as it is in po-
sItion to do so. The next step will
be the closing of every gambling
house within the city limits.

Germans Great Victory.

Apart entirely from its intrinsic mer.
its and importance, the tariff contest
which closed Monday was one of the
greatest legislative campaigns ever
fought in any country, and the yelling
ton of that Waterloo has won for him
self Il proud distinction In the old
days, when the present senior Senator
from Maryland was member of the
then famous base ball team, team
which came to Chicago in the summer
of 1867 and was the talk of the town for
its skill, the announcement "Gorman
at the bat" was sure to excite eXpecta-
ton of a brilliant play. The GOODNESS,
precision in calculation, and strength
and agility which made him famous then
in athletics have found in craftsmanship
the field for what may In all fairness be
set down as the most signal personal
victory ever achieved in Congress.
1t was on the 3d of July that the Sen
ate passed its tariff bill. Its passage
through that body was in itself great
victory for German. 1T was not the bill
which majority of the Democratic
Senators wanted. They accepted it
because Mr.. German could command
for it a few stalwart adherents who pro-
posed to stand firm in its support. His
original army was a beggarly half dozen
at the most With those few compan-
ions in arms he undertook to get the
bill through the Senate, and in this he
succeeded. Then came the tug of war.
For two weeks the Democratic con-
ferees held secret sessions, debarring
their Republican associates, hoping to
be able to fix up a compromise which
would command their unanimous sup
port. 1t was only after hope of that
had been abandoned that conference
of the whole committee was called,
and it was agreed TO report disagree
ment.
Then came the first real sensation.
Chairman Wilson exploded dynamite
bomb in the House of Representatives
in the form of letter from President
Cleveland. written just the day pre-
vious TO the passage of the Senate bill.
The intense excitement produced is too
fresh TO be more than alluded to. The
President had the House conferees on
his side and it looked as if German had
won an Austerlltz to lose Waterloo.
But he remained cool and aggressive.
The speech he made in the Senate in
condemnation of the President and in
defense of the Senate was one of the
most powerful speeches made in either
the House or the Senate for years. 1t
was masterful in every sentence. 1t
showed that the Senator from Mary
land had not been struck out but was
still at the bat.

For some three weeks the contest was

For some three weeks the contest was
prolonged Never did President re-
sort TO more INSCRIPTIONS use of pat
rohage than did Grover Cleveland in
his determination To crush German.
Day after day the struggle went on,
until Saturday the end came, virtually.
The action of Monday was only the
acceptance of what was seen Saturday
To be inevitable. When Speaker Crisp
and Chairman Wilson decided to call
caucus of the House Democrats they in
effect grounded arms and asked leave
to bury their dead. Over Sunday the
situation was recanvassed To see if there
was any possible way of escape for the
President. None was found. Beaten,
utterly and ANONYMOUSLY, he must ac-
cept the ST. Helena of his destiny.
Three Presidents before Cleveland
waged bitter war with 1.-THE other end
of the avenue" Jackson, Tyler, and
johnson. Henry Clay was the German
of both the Jackson and the Tyler con-
tests, with this very important differ
ence-he was beaten both times. The
country approved the jackson fight, for
he was fighting the opposition party,
but it has always detested Tyler, who,
like Cleveland, got up row in his own
party. AS for Johnson, he, like Cleve-
land, was beaten To Il jelly, but he had
IA two-thirds majority of both houses
against him, and his defeat, while it
was the triumph of great principle,
reflected no particular credit upon the
generalship of his victors 1t was re-
served for Arthur r. German TO lead
what seemed forlorn hope and achieve
in parliamentary war rs signal vic
tory as that won by General jackson in
New Orleans. Inter ocean.

BILE AS To give to the owners, in case of
an escape from duty, "A practical mo-
nopoly Of the coal market of the New
England states. Nova Scotia has inn
mense deposits of coal which is said to
be of excellent quality and To be very
cheaply mined. This coal is nearer
Boston than are the coal fields of Penn
sylvania, Maryland and Virginia, and
for more than fifty years it has been
the scheme to supply the American
market with this Canadian coal. All
that has been necessary to accomplish
this was to abrogate the duty and let
coal in free, and Canadian coal would
command the field
Mr.. Whitney, secretary of the navy
in the former Cleveland administra-
ton, and other leading American CAPT
.alists who are among Mr. Cleveland's
strong supporters, are said to be heavy
owners in these Canadian coal fields.
No president, no administration ever
heretofore in the history of the country
has dared to recommend the putting of
coal on the free list Even the Mills
bill, which Mr.. Cleveland approved of,
placed duty of 70 cents per ton on
coal. 1t is the first time in the history
of tariff legislation in this country that
the proposition of admitting coal free
of duty has been seriously considered.
The owners of the Canadian mines say,
"Give us free coal and we can drive the
American producers from the market"
Assuming this to be true, think for a
moment what it means! The Canadian
mines are all under one syndicate; and
thus it would be delivering over to a
foreign corporation the matter of sup
| plying the American markets with coal
sending money abroad that should be
kept at home; giving employment to
foreign laborers that should be given
to our own; giving to foreign farmers
the Opportunity to supply workmen
with food in exchange for their earn
ings that should be given to our own
Free coal means the blighting of one of
the most important of American indus
tries; the turning of thousands of men
out of employment; the abandonment
of towns, depression and ruin. 1t also
most certainly means the permitting of
entering into this country great com
binatlon-a great foreign Trust, to take
away the substance of our people
And yet, almost the seeming chief
purpose of the president in writing his
recent letter TO Mr.. Wilson was to de-
clare against the senate bill, because it
places duty on coal and iron ore, and
to urge the adoption of the house bill,
because it makes these articles free.
1t is just as certain as it is that the
sun shines and sets, that free coal can
not benefit any one in this country eX-
cept the owners of the Canadian coal
mines, and it seems to be the determin-
alton of the president to put money
into the pockets of these men at the
expense of all the rest of the country.
