DENVER ~POsTSCRIPTs.

Laramie has a light thunder storm,
with just enough threatening lightning
to make sinners dodge and look wildly
up at the lowering clouds.
There is a boom in the matrimonial
market at Laramie. The young folks
and the spring birds are pairing of
nicely as the weather warns up.
There are tears in the eyes and a
culver in the voices OF the old time
railroad boys along the western end Of
the Union Pacific last Wednesday as
the sad sentence passed from lip to lip:
Fatty Harris is dead The faithful
old engineer pulled into the terminal
station On his last earthly run at 10
o'clock Tuesday night.

TUESDAY, APRIL 81, 1897.

The people who waited four years for
prosperity under Cleveland and his free
trade theory should not be impatient If
1t takes Mckinley and protection four
months to accomplish what the other
people failed to bring about in the four
years. 1t goes without saying thai bust
ness activity cannot grow while all bust
ness undertakings are held in check by
the uncertainty which mus exist until
the new rates on importations are de-
termined.

The democrats who voted for the
Dingley tariff bill and those who con
template supporting it. in or out OF con
gress, need not be ashamed OF the com
pany they are in. Five Of the men who
voted for tho protective tariff bill be-
came presidents. and four OF them dem
ocratic presidents-Van Buren,. Tyler,
Polk and Buchanan. What a glorious
future awaits the democrat who has the
manhood to vote as he thinks and as his
constituents think on this subject.

The sIanaeer,s "Hit.y

w. H. Gross recalls an amusing mishap
which took place during performance of
THE Last Days of Pompeii'' by stock
company in Louisville in the early sixties,
says the Detroit Free Press. The man
ager, an ambitious one by the way, deter
mined to give the play a grand scenic
production" according to the announce
ment in the local papers II is hardly nee
essary to add that scenic productions in
those days were not such extensive affairs
as they are at the present time. In fact,
the largest item of expense was the Ro-
man candles which were to represent the
eruption of fire and smoke from the vol
canO. So impressed was the manager
with the Importance of having the candles
fired off with the proper amount of skill
that he informed his property-man that
he would himself attend to this division
of the effects.
Procuring a soap-box, lighted candle,
and the fireworks, he seated himself on the
opening night behind set rock and a the
proper moment began to work the most
thrilling eruption ever seen on any stage"
So taken up was he with firing his candles
that he failed to notice that the set rock
behind which he supposed himself to be
had fallen down, and that he was in full
view of the audience. At each candle he
set off there was terrific round of APP
pause, ana Wnen the curtain tel4 the
manager rose to his feet and still uncon-
scious of the true state of affairs, walked
over to the property-man.
There, my boy" he remarked, that's
the way to set off Roman candles. Did
you notice the hands 1 got? It's a good
thing l worked that effect myself
The prOperty-man said nothing, but led
the manager to the wings and pointed to
the set rock fiat on its face.
''TOO Won mean m say oras 1led the M n
ager, that that blamed rock was down
all of the timer"
Yes, sir" replied the property-ma
with ill-concealed glee.
We'll" groaned his discounted supe-
rior, mo wonder I made a hit"

The Pardonine Power.

1t is understood that in his forthcoming
message to the general assembly Gov. At
kinson will recommend the creation of a
board of pardons 1t Is not known def
nitely whether IL is his idea that the
board shall have fun powers or be merely
advisory to the executive; but it is known
that the governor-and with very good
reason-desires that the executive shall
he relieved of the burden Of examining
into and hearing arguments upon the
great number of applications for execu-
tive clemenecy which come into his office.
The strain of such work upon the COVER
nor is sometimes very great, as has lately
been illustrated at Atlanta The Perry
case is still fresh in the minds of the peo-
pie.
Is 1t just to the chief executive of the
state that he should be subjected to the
Notwithstanding strain, as well as saddled
with the great amount of labor, which the
pardoning power carries with 1t inevitably
when that power is vested in one man?
Is it to the best interest of the state that
this great power which is above that of
the courts should be vested in one man,
who may or may not be possessed of a
judicial mind or unconventional tempera-
ment? The pardoning power must be per-
petuated, of course, but to secure the best
results where should it be lodged and how
exercised? For the information of the
members of the Georgia legislature, and
others interested. we publish this morn
ing on another page a symposium on the
pardoning power, from the pens of thirty
governors of states, from Maine to Cali
fornia, which throws considerable light on
the questions asked, as well as others per-
tinent to the subject
1t will be noted that nearly all of the
states have pardon boards, or commits
sions. Many of them are vested with full
powers, while others merely collect infOr
nation for the executive and advise him
with regard to the disposition of the APP
plication for clemency. In most cases
the final power is left in the hands of the
governor. In nearly every state where
there is no board or other aid to the gov
ernor in hearing and determining upon the
matter of pardons, the governor now in
office thinks there should be such a board,
On the other hand, some of the governors
who have the assistance of boards are of
the opinion that the executive could get
along better If he were given full power
and the advisory board abolished. The
opinions of the governors cover the sub
ject succinctly. and convey a great deal
of information and many suggestions
which will be found useful when the mat
ter comes up in the legislature for discus
sion.

Our Broken Sidewalks.

Alderman Krouskoff is directing atten-
ton to a matter that has been greatly neg
lected We refer to the condition of our
sidewalks in both the business and resi-
dence sections of the city. Their condi-
ton is bad-very bad-and it has been bad
for years. On the main business streets
they are often broken in many places, and
in this unsightly and unsatisfactory con-
dition they frequently remain for a long
time; and even where they are not broken
they are full of inequalities, making them
decidedly Objectionable in rainy weather
In the residence streets it is not difficult
to find places in the sidewalks where the
paving material is torn up. leaving holes
which make walking unpleasant, and
even dangerous.
Alderman Krouskoff proposes to inau-
gurate a reform in this matter of the side
walks. We wish him success, and sincere
ly hope he will not get tired before he ac-
complishes something. 1t seems to us
that he ought to have the assistance of
the city engineer. We DO not know that
any ordinance makes it the duty Of that
official TO see to it that the sidewalks are
kept in repair. If there isn't an ordinance
of that kind there ought to be one II
The city engineer were charged with the
duty of seeing that the sidewalks are kept
in repair the chances are there would be
far less ground for complaining of them.
We are certain of one thing, and that is
that the present system for keeping them
in good condition is either not equal to the
demands upon It or else it is not admins
tered as it should be. The results desir-
ed are not forthcoming.
We venture to say that there is much
interest felt in the outcome of Alderman
Krouskoff's efforts for better sidewalks.
He is entitled to encouragement and is
pretty certain to get it.

Wasted INDIGNATION.

bald head grew more and more uneasy. as

newspaper but every now and then would

ing scalded by the soup he carried and in
quired:

The Big Four.

There are four candidates in the field for
mayor of Greater New York. All Of them
are men Of ability and high character
Seth Low is a republican. but Is the candi-
date of the citizens union, which aims at a
non-partisan administration of the city s
affairs. Henry George is known as a sin
gle taxer, but he Is the candidate of the
democrats who insisted on indorsing the
Chicago platform, free silver coinage and
all. Gen Tracy is the regular republican
candidate He is of course a partisan.
Judge Van Wyck is the candidate of the
Tammany democrats.
The contest is really between Seth Low
and Judge Van Wyck. There is no chance
for the election of either Gen. Tracy or Mr.
George. Mr.. Croker, the Tammany boss
who is supposed to have dictated the NOM
nation of Judge Van Wyck, is quoted as
saying the Tammany ticket will be elected
by 100000 plurality. Some of his lieutenants
think he is mistaken. They say that If
Judge Van Wyck is elected at all it will
be by a very small plurality.
Mr.. Low is still a great favorite. 1t is
worthy Of notice that two of the most ex-
IRENE republican papers of New York are
supporting him. namely, the Tribune and
the Mail and Express Most of the morning
papers desire his election. They think he
would give the city a business-lilSe admin
istration-that he would choose his subor-
dinates for their fitness rather than for
their politics.
It will be a close race between Mr.. Low
and Mr.. Van Wyck. The chances may be
a little in favor of Van Wyck now. 1t is a
question If they will remain so long.
The mayoralty contest in Greater New
York is the political contest of this year.
1t Is attracting more attention than any
other and will continue to do so until the
election.
