1t was question which was the more
ragged and disreputable, the dog or the

legs, and his companion was lame in

They stood there in the little office
side by side, looking at the man who
sat behind the deck, making entries in

The superintendent examined the
dog gently, and then told the wanderer
that there was no hope. The weary
little waif had outlived his usefulness
and was better dead.
Without word the tramp handed
the frayed rope to the superintendent.
and when the official led the poor dog
into the room from which no canine
traveller ever returns. he followed.
"Good-by. pard." he said, reaching
out his hand. His friend solemnly
raised his one sound paw, and they
shook hands silently and reverently.

As a consequence of q capital con-
stitution and figure with no tendency
to fatty degeneration. he boasts himself
superior to physical exercise and as en-
tirely free from malaise when that ex-
ercise is not forthcoming. or wine he
takes but little; of tobacco he cannot
get enough. In the days of his widow
erhood lie used to say that his idea of
luxury was a cab and cigar-a double
suggestion of his liking for the weed
and his disinclination to walk. The
latter trait is the more remarkable in
the case of a man OF Chamberlain's S

In the political society which gath

the reality of him is less terrible than
his name. The uproariSus animosity
he has often provoked might lead to the
belief that his mien is fierce and ag-
gressive: even hateful. Nothing could
be farther from the fact. His social
manner is agreeable conciliatory, be-
nign: and he passes with light touch
yet with more earnestness and less
cynicism than the average Englishman
in public life-over wider range of
subjects than the average English host

be done. But, as matter OF fact, It is
not done. Kansas City comes in, and 50
does Omaha, and they take possession of
trade which would come to Denver if they
were not admitted to this unjust com
petition.
1t would not take long to correct this
evil if the big merchants would join in
a demand for reformation. They ought
to do SO. They should appreciate that it
would in the END be better for them if
they should compel the railroads to
make just rates. They should observe
that the favors the railroads show them
are due to desire on the part of the
companies to secure business. This de-
sire would be just as strongly manifested
if the general schedule of rates was just
instead OF unjust to the city as whole.
They could force the companies to come
to terms with them privately, just as well
then as they can now. 1t is therefore to
their interests as true citizens of Denver
to help secure REIMBURSEMENT of rates on
a fair basis.-Denver Republican.

The FREIGHT QUESTION.

The freight rate question is one in
which the business men of this city are
deeply interested. 1t concerns the traffic
relations of this place with all the sur
rounding country. Until it is properly
settled it will be impracticable for Denver
TO command that share Of the trade of the
Rocky mountains to which every one rec
ognizes it is justly entitled.
Upon number of occasions we have
directed attention to the fact that it H
necessary to secure the cooperation of
the leading merchants and shippers. A
shipper who commands large traffic
which he may give to one road or another,
as he may please, has great influence with
railroad companies. 1t is common be-
lief that this influence has enabled some
men to secure rebates which close their
mouths and keep them from joining in
protests against unjust rates which hurt
the whole city. Possibly some of these
business men, if any exist, feel that it is
better to accept favors from the railroad
companies than to join in a movement
whi,h, while it might benefit the city at
large, would awaken the luminosity of the
railroad companies against them in
dividually.
1t 10 fact which no one can deny, that
Denver is Disseminated against in its
own territory. Kansas City and Omaha
are given rates which enable them to en-
ter the trade territory of this city and
take business away from Denver to which
they are not under any fair adjustment
of rates entitled. This lie known to all
the business men of Denver, whether
great or small, but, unfortunately, IL is
difficnlt to arouse the people of this
place to sense of the Importance of do
ing something to induce the companies
to make rates which would open the way
for Denver to secure that which is really
its own.
Certainly it is not asking much for
Denver to say that the railroads should
give IL rates that would enable IL to con-
troll the trade within its own territory.

If the people of New Mexico want state.
hood they will probably be compelled to
adopt the plan proposed by Edmund G..
Ross, and that lie to ask the passage of a
bill fixing the date of admission at some
time in the future, and allowing at least
two years for preparation. With sure
thing of admission in two or more years,
Gov. Ross argues that immigration would
set in, as all home-seekers would look
this way. The idea was opposed by all
the politicians, who were only for state
hood because it promised an opportunity
for Office, and as consequence New Mex
leo is not state, and has no immediate
prospect. When the plan was first pro-
posed there was no doubt of it's passage,
