JUDGE HowAT RESIGNS.


Judge Andrew Howat has resigned
as one Of the judges of the Third ju-
dicial district. The reason for it is
that he enters the law firm of Ben
nett. Marshall and Bradley, taking the
place of Judge John A. Marshall, who
goes upon the United States district
bench. The firm is to be congratula-
ted upon his entrance to it.
We regret exceedingly the resigna-
ton of Judge Howat. and in this regret
both the legal profession and the pub
lie will join. Nominated as Demo-
c1at, he was elected in a strongly
Republican district. II was great
tribute to his personal worth and pro-
fessional attachments while it showed
that the people could rise above party
when the best interests of the state
required that they should. The cleo
ton of Judge Howat. and his fellow
judicial nominees on the same ticket.
was a protest Of the people against
unworthy party nominations. And in
the future this manly protest should
serve the people as beacon light to
guide them under similar circum-
stances.
1t will become the duty of Governor
Wells to appoint a successor to Judge
Howat. We trust, and believe. that in
appointing a successor Governor Wells
will select a lawyer of the same high
character and fitness for the Office that
Judge Howat possesses,

SENATOR woLcOTrs SPEECH.

Whatever of applause Senator VOL
colt may receive in England for his
late speech on the Venezuela question.
he receives none from his constitu-
ents in Colorado. The merchants of
New Castle took the pains to cable
their congratulations to the Colorado
senator, but the Colorado press con-
dennis his speech in unmeasured
terms. The Leadville Herald-Democrat
says: Senator Wolcott has delivered
himself of a speech which the people
Of this state cannot approve"
Dillon Enterprise: Senator Wolcott,
it seems, got off wrong, and very much
so, the other day on the Monroe doc
trine."
Glenwood Avalanche: Senator VOL
colt, as a typical Englishman, airs his
views where everyone can hear them,
and also gains little notoriety by the
transaction"
Grand Junction Star-Times: eng
lish Ed Wolcott has shown his true
sympathies at last. His Colorado con
stituency should lose no time in ask
ing for his resignation
The Denver Republican draws a
sharp contrast between the course of
the present Wolcott in 1896, and that
of his great ancestor. Oliver Wolcott.
one Of the signers of the Declaration
Of Independence, in 1876; and quotes,
very appropriately, too. the arraign-
ment Of the British government in the
Declaration Of independence as the
sentiment of the elder Wolcott. Re-
ferring to the concluding paragraph of
the senator's speech, in which he said:
BLOOD is thicker than water, and IN
til some just quarrel divides us, which
heaven forbid, may these two great ma
tons of the same speech and lineage
and traditions, stand as brothers.
shoulder to shoulder, in The interest of
humanity" etc.-referring to this the
Republican says:
Blood was thicker than water in 177s
and the ties of consanguinity were
shorter, if not stronger, then than now.
but neither fact prevented the British
government from levying war on the
colonists. Does anybody suppose that
such arguments have any weight at the
present time to prevent English ageree-
sions upon American interests. Sena-
tor Wolcott TO the contrary notwith-
standing?

establish commerce, and to do all other
acts and things which Independent
states may of right do" why should
we now be told by a degenerate de-
scendant of one Of the bravest found
ers of the republic that we must look
to England, and consult the London
stock market and feel the pulse of the
British public, before deciding whether
we shall reaff1rm the Monroe doctrine?
Evidently Senator Wolcott did not
voice the sentiments of the people of
Colorado in his speech, nor even the
voice of any considerable number of
the people outside of Colorado.

PREPARATION FOR WAR.

One of the worst results Of all the
talk Of the past five weeks, conse-
quent upon the presidents Venezuelan
boundary dispute message, is the
spread of the idea that the country
should make preparations for war, not
for an immediate war but for con-
tingent future war.
A nation. like a man, can very easily
make itself nervous over it's defense.
less condition. And the saying that
things grow upon what they feed is no.
where truer than in case Of nerv-
business. At present the United States
are nervous regarding their unpre-
paredness for war. It is perhaps use
less to say there is no cause for this
nervousness, but still it should be said
If the United States adopt the policy
of Europe in the matter of vast arma-
ments and huge navies, this country
will have much the same experiences
as Europe. Having the form of re-
publican government, we would prac-
tically be living under military des-
potism; for names do not change the
nature of things. Once this country
should start to rival Europe in the mat
ter of armies and ravies, no one could
possibly tell where it would end. We
have always been a nation predisposed
to peace, whose greatness has come
through the channels of industry and
commerce. Let our future development
be along the same lines.
There should be some preparation for
war. Heavy ordnance for the defense
of our coast and for the navy should be
provided without unnecessary delay,
and there should be ample military sup
plies on hand, such as arms and ammu-
milton particularly. With all this pro-
vfded, the country may safely rely On
its patriotic citizens as it did when it
achieved its independence, when it
fought the war of 1872 and when it
fought the war for the preservation
of the union. The country needs no
large standing armies.
