The Denver Trouble.

The office holders ut Denver, Colo,
properly and lawfully removed by
Gov. Waite, obtained an injunction
from plant court restraining the
executive department from enforcing
his order of removal.
When threatened by the Governor
with forcible removal, these two
Colorado ruifians and hang-ons rally
the police and sheritf's forces
the heads of both departments be-
ing members of the court house ring
which Gov. Waite is trying to break
up-and with arms resist the guber-
material power.
Thereuron the Governor, in defiance
of the injunction. calls out the militia
and proposes to capture the Court
House at all hazards. Except for the
fact that the streets were crowded with
non-combatants it is altogether likely
that an attack would have been made
upon the Court House and much
blood spilled-for Gov. Waite is not a
man to be fooled with.
Cooler counsels prevailed, however,
and compromise was made whereby
the case was to be decided forthwith
by the Supreme Court OF the state.
As to one Of the hang-Ons, the Sen
tinel is somewhat posted. We refer
to jackson Orr, played-out politician
who left the state Of Iowa Qor the
good Of the state) quite o number of
years ago, and removed to newer and
less pretentious fields. He was in
Congress during the memorable land
stealing days. and had finger in the
pie. He was one of the "beauts" who
helped demonetize silver. In short,
there was very little crooked work in
Congress that Orr did not have hand
in, during the time that he was there.
At last he run his race. The people
of his district turned him down, and
he had to hunt for a job where he was
not so we'll known. At last he tnrns
up in Denver as q small office-holder,
and it is dollars to cents that he was
in crooked work up to his elbows

Premeditated Villainy

and the present Democratic Congress
demonetized silver and contracted the
volume of money through honest mo-
tives, should test the motives 10y the
acts.
Some two years since farmer living
near Stephenville, in Erath County,
borrowed about $4,000 on a farm val
ued by competent disinterested per-
sons ut $4,000 cash There We're also
on the farm IS head of mules and
horses, valued at $2,25O cash. The
mortgage was drawn to cover the 700
acres of land and the Is head of hor-
SEES and mules.
Owing to the panic and consequent
low prices, the mortgager was unable
to meet the interest. The mortgage,
like all the rest of them, had a provis-
ion in it IF default was at any time
made in payment of interest or princi-
pal. the whole debt fell due, and the
holder of the1mortgage authorized to.
foreclose at once" The consequence
was this farm and stock was legally
advertised for sale for cash. The
farm was bid in by the mortgage at
81, 500, and after several hours trial, a
bid of 1876 could not be obtained for
the IS head Of horses and mules.
This is fair illustration of the mo-
tives that influenced Cleveland and
the present Democratic Congress to
demonetize silver and sell bonds. 1t
will not do to say that they did not
realize what the results of their acts
would be, for that is admitting that
they are idiots.
The Democrats have unanimously
to this country and an ally of England.
They have pointed to the demonetiza-
ton of silver, under his slick manipu-
lation. as the blacklist crime ever COM
mitted against the liberties of the
American people. The forum rang
with these denunciations, the Demo
cratic press boiled. Everybody re-
members these facts.
But 10, and behold, the very moment
the people, sinking under robberies
perpetrated by law, by the craftiness
of Sherman. place the Democrats in
power, they follow the lead of John
Sherman till they reduce the Ameri-
can farmers to the condition portrayed
in the Stephenvllle case. Everyone
having any regard for the truth must
admit that the farmers of Erath Coun-
ty are in as good financial condition as
any in Texas, and that the farmers OF
Texas are in as good financial condi-
ton as in any state in the union.
Those who read these facts must re-
member that this condition of affairs
has been deliberately fastened upon
this country by co-called Democratic
Administration, and if there is one
spark of manhood in the people they
will hurl from power those who advo'
cate the supremacy OF a party that has
betrayed and pauperized them.-Dallas

"pIenfy OF Money"

commercial centers. and the difficulty of
finding employment for it In operation that
promises to pay profit on its use. is proof
that there Is no lack o: money In the coun-
try. therefore no present necessity for In
creasing its volume.-Chicago Tribune.
This reminds US, says the Chicago
Sentinel, of q remark made by
an old farmer down in Illinois about
twenty years ago-when the same sort
of talk was being INDUCED in by the
subsidized press.
The old farmer had q hide-bound
Republican neighbor who was repeat
ing parrot-like, the gibberish which
he read in the daily papers about there
being lust ~ much money in the
country as there ever was" But one
day Mr.. Republican was complaining
about the drought, whereupon the old
Greenl,ack farmer remarked to him i:
why. YOU ID fool, there is just a.
much water in the country as there
ever Was Lake Michigan is full of it -
And the water in Lake Michigan
does the dried up farms in central ILL
nois just about - much good ~ the
money in the banks does commerce.

The Bau Had Eyes.

Harry Moran, a saloon keeper, had a
wonderful dream few nights ago. Moran
is baseball "fiend' Of the worst type.
When the Indianapolis team is at home he
never. misses a game. He knows all the
points of the game and admires good play
ing, but is in misery when he sees bad
ball." He talks baseball from one end of
the season to the other, and thinks about
it all the time His friends say that in his
sleep he is continually calling out, "Out at
first" You're safe" That's a strike"
and making other similar remarks The
dream is told by Moran himself. A few
nights ago he dreamed he was a ball pitch
err He was a ''phenom" in every sense
OF the word, or rather he had the most
wonderful ball any erratic brain ever con-
ceived. He thought in his dream that his
to the knowledge of Manager Sharsig and
the latter signed him Immediately. Moran
did not remember, If he knew in his dream,
the name of the club he pitched against,
but he dreamed that he pitched only TWEEN
ty-seven balls during the entire game. The
cry man that came to bat went out in one,
two, three order. Not a ball was pitched
that did not so over the plate, and not one
of them was hit. The reason of the ina
bility of the other side to hit the ball,
though 1t came over the plate, was that
plate and the batsman struck at the ball,
seeing the bat, would dart under or over
it, and the batsman wondered why he could
not find the ball. When Moran awoke af-
ter this dream he was drenched with per-
spiraton The labor of pitching the game
and to be consistent, even in dreaming, he

RAILROADS IN SPAIN.
They Grant the Traveller Abundance

Boston Transcript.

boston transcript.
A Boston traveller in Spain writes: THE
Spanish people are the most amiable and
obhging people in the world. Their
courtesy is of a genuine nature and
touches the heart in the way Gallo suavity
never does. We have often stayed at
inns where no language but Spanish
is spoken, and with very limited
vocabulary have got on extremely
sympathetic understanding and pleas
ant tempers of the people. You cannot
order about or bully even a Spanish serv-
from the old Christians who drove out the
MoOrs. and that is in their notion rather
more ancient and important lineage than
coming over in the Mayflower.' But call
one of them you instead of thou in
his native tongue, address him as 'sehor,'
give him cigar if you're a man or
'Gracias' for thanks if you're a woman,
and the service is faithful and devoted, al
most too devoted at times for people not
accustomed to. take off their boots to have
them cleaned after a walk at 10 o'clock in
the forenoon. Travelling in Spain is mat
ter of increasing facility.
The trains are slow according to our
rushing American ideas, but why should
one wish to hasten too rapidly through
beautiful or picturesque scenery? 1t is
worth while to take ten minutes to pass
railroads and their slowest trains are, at all
events, vast improvement, both in speed
and in comfort, over the diligences of the
days when there were no railroads in SPAIN
For out-of-the-way travelling they are still
common enough. In Granada we saw the
diligence come rolling in from Lanjaron in
the Sierra NevadaS one day, and it looked
old and time-stained enough to be the one
that Granada knew in the days of Wash
ington Irving, sixty years and more ago.
The frSt-class carriages are all good on the
railways; the second-class vary, apparently
according TO luck, from the quality of an
English fourth-class up to the upholstered
comfort of a German second-class. For
night travel (and the long journey over
Don Quixote's plains of La Mancha, be-
tween Madrid and Cordova, is usually made
at night in the express trains) there are
nice funny little sleeping cars, or the pas

Fine Intelligence of the Elephant.

y. S. Shaler, in Scribner
1t appears from trustworthy anecdotes
that the Asiatic elephants in a few months
OF captivity acquire the rules Of conduct
which il is necessary to impose upon them.
The speediness of this intellectual subjuga-
ton may be judged from the fact that. after
a short term of domestication, they will
take a willing and intelligent part in cap
turing their kindred of the wilderness, show
ing in this work little or no disposition
to rejoin the wild herds. In the case OF
no other animal do we find anything like
such an immediate adhesion to the ways
of civilization. We have 10 account for
this eminent popularity of the elephant on
the supposition, which appears TO be strong
ly justified, that the creature has. even IN
its wild state, a type of intelligence and
instincts more nearly like those OF men
than is the case with any other wild man.
NAL, an affinity with human quality which
is, perhaps, only approached by certain
species of birds. Ii appears from the OBJ
servations Of naturalists that the family or
tribe OF Wild elephants is a distinct and
highly sympathetic community.

An exchange asks why it is that
the vast army of laboring men and
farmers in this country cannot
combine and overthrow a govern
ment that is so hostile to their in
terests. If there is one thing more
than another the cause of this it is
the foreign clement in this country.
The country has some strong labor
organizations, which, if they would
stand solidly together, could, with
the aid of the farmers, control the
government of the country. But
the foreign element in these organ
izations clash among themselves,
and this causes a division of their
voting strength. 1t is hard to get
the Irish members to support a
German candidate for any position
and it is the same the other way.

THERE is only one thing that is a
drawback to the Peoples Party,
and that is in its trying to accom-
plish too much at the start. The
platform of the Omaha Convention
is as good one as any American
could wish to stand upon, but all
evils that have been born in the
Republican and Democratic parties
cannot be strangled at once. Too
many proposed changes in the plan
of government bring vast array of
corporations and monied men in
antagonism to the party, 1t would
be better to eliminate all but one or
two planks in the platform-free
coinage and prohibition of foreign
emigration. Make the fight on
these two most important questions,
and when once in power other
changes could be made as the times
required and it was thought best by
the American people.

NOTICE TO INVENTORS

There was never a time in the
history Of our country when the
demand for inventios and improve
ments in the art and sciences gem
orally was so great as now. The
Iconveniences of mankind in the
factory and Workshop, the house
hold, on the farm, and in official
life, require continual accessions to
the appurtenances and implements
of each in order to save labor, time
and expense. The political change
in the administration of govern
ment does not affect the progress of
the American inventor, who being
on the alert, and ready to perceive
the existing deficiencies, does not
permit the affairs of government to
deter him from quickly conceiving
the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care can
not be exercised in choosing COM
petent and skillful attorney to pre-
pare and prosecute an application
for patent. Valuable interests have
been lost and destroyed 10 innum-
cradle instance by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and espec-
tally is this advice applicable TO
