The Other Side.

It is not the most elegant phrasing GER
tainly, nor a subject that one would
choose for text; but, as forcible fact,
one that cannot BIZ overlooked, could
affairs in Colorado be better put than
by speaker at the Atlanta convention:
Noting the fact of the Colorado legisla-
ture having three women members, it
was said: women, who have hereto
fore been accustomed to doing scrubbing
and cleaning Of the spittoons, are now
there to help make laws. When they
were doing the scrubbing and the clean
ing of spittoons, some people think they
were in their proper sphere, but when
they had any idea of taking part in poll
tics they were degrading themselves! It
was further summed up that the best
men in the state, as rule, could not
spare time from their business to attend
to the legislature, and, as conse-
quence, good women would have to GO

that private communication to resident

cause of his recent sermon at the cathedral

State election. A reporter found the Bishop

here and at Peoria, at least, where large
interest Is located Treasurer Hobart had
no knowledge whatever of the appointment
until he heard it through a newspaper re-
porter. Yet. the lengthy petition was filed
here yesterday, at the same hour as 1t was
in Chicago. The only reason why 1t did not
become public here yesterday is that pre-
cautions were taken to prevent publicity
until after action was taken by the court.
1t happened here that the attorneys ran
upon judge who was not willing to act
so hastily they desired. Judge Taft
took no action at all yesterday except to
refuse to appoint Mr.. Greenhut. who is a
stockholder. To-day, after hearing what
had been done in Chicago, he made the
appointment of a trust company. AS the
multiplicity of receivers will create con-
fusion, there seems to be good reason for
the rehearing to be granted by Judge
GroSscup.
