the United States easily in the front

point Of power and wealth. The tend
cncy Of Democracy has always been
bourbonistic, forgetting nothing and
learning nothing, they have refused to
adopt any reform measures. Even the
tariff reform, promised in their last

8Iyron Reed apparently never loses
an opportunity TO show his demaGogy.
In a late interview printed in the
Newer News he undertakes to justify
his notorious assertion that Jesus
Christ was an anarchist. He claims
that law should not be respected IN
less It is justice, and order must be
right order TO be observed. The diff
Guilty with this position is that Mr..
Reed does not say what is the standard
of "justice" and who is to decide
whether q given law reaches that
standard. To make every man the
Judge of the Justice" Of law is to in
troduce chaos and anarchy must fol
low.
"Order IL heavens iirst Law" End to
say that any progress or civilization
even. can exist without It is absurd
Mr.. Reed says his family is governed
by no rules. From his wildly chaotic
utteranccs II is easily Inferred that
Mr.. Reeds early training was also
conducted on the same plan CD. The
Republican party will be well satisfied
to have Mr.. Reed on the stump this
fall advocating his brand of Populism.

Jno. Hip, the apostle Of prohibition,
publishes a card denying that the plat
form Of that party is narrow, and then
quotes several planks to prove his az

thus form political ola padrida to

Auditor Goodykoontz Is very indig
nant At Republican papers for alleged
repeated misrepresentation Of the af-
fairs Of his office in particular and Pop
nlists in general. The extreYe sensi-
tiveness Of the auditor may be account
ed for in come measure by a growing
conviction that he and his party will
soon be back numbers In Colorado pol
itics. His vigorous protests In the line
indicated are the invarfable refuge Of
those who find themselves discreditcd
by reason of having been weighed In
the balance Of public approval aud
found wanting. Notwithstanding the
inordinate desire of the Populists for
reform. II Is significant fact that
when they get control Of state funds
they are unable TO distinguish between
the rights Of the people therein and
their own. A notable example of this
weakness is seen In the diversion by
Secretary OF State McCIces OF unneccs-
sary sums for advertising the consti-
tutiOnal amendments In mushroom

lstence for personal political ends. The

The bold appropriation of state funds
by the Populist state officials TO pay
for the publication of the constitution
al amendments in Z by 8 sheets that
have sprung into existence solely for
campaign purposes is exciting a great

parties in Colorado. While it would
have been perfectly legal and far
cheaper TO publish these amendments

latiOn. care has been taken TO have
them printed in alleged daily papers

Albion w. Toureee thus sets up the
criterion by which a political party
may be judged. II Is quite applicable
to the populist party in Colorado.
Their fragrant acts certainly do out
weigh their declarations in favor Of
reform and good government:
Parties are composed of three essen
tial compliments:
/. Declared principles.
2. Adherents who believe in these
principles.
3. Its recognized opponents, or those
who do certain acts as representatives
Of the party.
By these three things a party is 10
be judged The man who estimates
the quality and character OF party
by its platform only is so deficient in
that universal quality known as com
mon sense as to deserve to rank as n
phenomenon in an idiot asylum. In
certain states of political sentiment
platforms are Intentionally framed to
deceive. They are part and parcel of
the work Of a party's representatives,
who may, and often do, misrepresent
the spirit and purpose Of a party, either
through lack Of sympathy with it or n
desire to fex and modify the party
policy.
As the great body OF every party's
adherents is the most important Gle
ment Of party existence, the spirit and
tendency Of party must be Judged
from its history, the acts Of legislation
it has inaueurated. the popular thought
OF its adherents, as we'll as by its plat
forms and the declarations of its lead
ers." This is the one universal stand
ard by which alone collective object
and purpose can be truly judged or cor
rcctly determined. 1t is the rule of
words and works, by which human
purpose can alone be properly inferred,
and in this, as in all other cases, acts
must be allowed to outweigh declara-
tons.
