\ Colorado citizen who has been
talking TO an eastern reporter says
that the legislative body in the Cen
tennial state is causing no end of
shame. There are three fe male men,
bers of the legislature of re-
finement and cultivation-and a week
or two ago, when the age of consent
bill was up for discussion, the speeches
of some of the male members were so
pointed that the galleries had to be
cleared. Constantly since, the rowdy
element of the legislature has in
dulged, according to this authority.
in the coarsest inuendo at the expense
of the sister members IL seems in
credible that this sort Of thing should
be allowed by the male members Of
the legislature, but it goes. Compared
with the legislatures of many other
states. the recent Montana assembly
was paragon of honesty, virtue and
respectablllty.

THE DIxoNs IN HONOLULU.

The Judges Son Denies an Absurd
story Set An ,st Recently.
From the Washington Post, March 10.
Mr.. w. w. Dixon, jr., son of the Mon
tana ex-congressman, was seen at his
| apartments at the Shoreham last even
| ing. He is a bright and prepossessing
young man, who has not yet attained his
majority, and is a student of Georgetown
University. He is just back from a So
journ in the Hawaiin Islands, where he
went with his father to try the beneficial
effects OF a sea voyage. Mr.. Dixon
laughed at the story sent out in the press
dispatches from Butte yesterday, to the
effect that his father. Judge Dixon, had
been sent to Honolulu by Governor Nc
Creary of Kentucky, chairman of the
house committee on foreign affairs, to in
vestigate and report on recent happen
ings in the Sandwich Islands.
II don't understand how that absurd
story gained its origin" said young Dixon.
"We left San Francisco on the 18th of
last month, merely on an ocean trip, my
own health not having been very robust
of late. My father wasn't sent by Mr..
McCreary or any one else, and went as a
private American citizen. But we found
the islands in the hands of Americans
like ourselves. and Honolulu is, in fact,
an American city. l don't think any I'M
prejudiced person could stay there week
and not come to the conclusion that it
would be a good thing for adj parties to
annex the islands to the United States.
The natives are a careless, slip-shod, inn
provident race and had as soon live under
one form of government as another.
I'VE went into a picture gallery, but the
photographer courteously begged us to
excuse him from doing any work, for he
said that he had been kept SO busy max
ing pictures for American residents who
came in with rifles and revolvers as an
evidence that they had taken part in the
revolution that he hadn't time to devote
to outsiders.
"About dozen exiles came back with
us on the return trip. They we're not very
badly frightened and spoke as though
they would go back after things had
quieted down n little. They preferred
leaving the country Temporarily to stand
ing a court-martial. Whether annexation
comes about or not, the government as
constituted will stand. 1t is backed by
the brain and wealth of the islands and
has the full confidence of the intelligent
classes

DR.. Parkhurst's enemies are pursu-
ing him with vindictive energy. A
pamphlet of couple of dozen pages,
containing what purports to be an off,
cial copy of Dr. Parkhurst's testimony
as to what he saw in a disorderly
house, which he visited in the early
part of his career as a reformer, has
been widely circulated in New York
with the evident purpose of creating
the impression that he is not what he
processes himself to be. No explana-
ton of time, place, circumstance, OBJ
ject or motive is included in the pam
phlet, the testimony being copied
literally as related before Judge and
jury nearly three years ago. The path
of the reformer is not strewn with
roses, but Parkhursts reputation is
too well established to be hurt by at
tacks of this kind.

The Governors Veto.

Governor Richards has been an in
surance man himself and was qualified
to pass an expert opinion upon the in
surance bill. The bill was calculated
TO yield revenue of from $50, 900 to
$4,000, and it is to be regretted that
this handsome sum could not have
been dded to the states income. AS
we understand it, the bill met with
practically no opposition from the
fire insurance companies-it was the
life insurance agents that made the
fight, and these gentlemen are ranked
among the greatest hustlers on earth.
They doubtless would have opposed
the bill had it been perfect otherwise,
but one or two provisions that they
held to be especially unfair and I'M
just gave them an excuse for hard
fight against the bill as whole. I'm
fortunately the bill did not reach a
vote in either house until the last two
days of the session, when amendments
were too late TO be thought of, else the
special objections of the agents would
have been removed But the agents are
much better pleased with the final re-
suit than they would have been had
the bill been amended in accordance
with their expressed wishes and signed
by the governor.
The idea of the bill is a most excel
lent one, and it should be enacted into
law at the next session.

Sokane's Post.

1t seems that an error made by a
clerk in one of the departments in
Washington has materially changed
the plans of congress in providing for
the establishment of two military
posts in the West. The mistake in
wolves the rival cities of Seattle and
Tacoma in the contest for the coveted
military garrison. IL was the plan of
the military authorities to locate one
post at Spokane and one At some point
on the Sound. General Ous recon-
mended this scheme. This involved
the abandonment Of the smaller posts
at such points as Boise. Wala Walla,
Occur d'Alene City, and Vancouver.
1t was the intention of congress to
leave the selection of a suitable site
for the post on the Sound 10 a board
of army officers By a mistake of
some congressional clerk this was left
out of the bill and the matter is now
in the hands of the secretary and he
may go ahead and locate the western
post at any point he deems best. This

The Fair will contest bids fair to
break the record in respect of sensa-
tionalism. There are already twenty
eight lawyers in the fight, with more
to follow, all representing rival claim
ants A number of women have APP
peared who claim under oath to have
been married TO Fair, or to have lived
with him as his wife. A small army
of alleged illegitimate children is in
danger of springing up before the case
is finished, and fresh complications
are of daily occurrence.

Going to Pieces.

One of the gentlemen nomin ated by
the republican city convention of An
aconda Friday night for the Office of
alderman, respectfully declines the
honor for the very good reason that
he is not a republican, never has been
and expects never to be. He declares
that he is democrat, and he denies
that he is or ever was a member of
the A. T. a.
The gentlemen in control of Fri
day nights meeting seem to have
made a mess of things all around.
Had the customary and proper mode
of procedure been followed-had ward
primaries been called for the election
of delegates to a convention in the
regular way-such a ridiculous blum
der as that which has been made in
the Second ward would have been i'm
possible. AS it was, the leaders of the
A. Il. A. in their desire not to slip up
in getting control of the convention,
abandoned all custom and precedent,
refused to call any primaries for the
election of delegates, and, for the sake
of security and convenience, held the
convention on the same evening on
which the A. p A. lodge meets
Under these circumstanc it is no
wonder that large number of repub-
licans who have always been promi-
nent in the party's councils fatty re-
fused to attend the convention. The
large majority of the republican
party, we believe, has not the slightest
sympathy with the A. p. A, or its
leaders, or its methods.

THE FIN DE Steele ANGEL.

Her harp Is Of the newest make;
The things she likes to play
Make even Peters sides to shake,
When e'er she flies his way.
Her wings are OF the latest style,
Her halo's quite the thing,
Her laughing eyes an answering smile
From all the choir bring.
And when she flies the golden street,
She stirs the saints so madly
They always haste across to meet
And raise their halos gladly.
