THE LESSON FROM COLORADO.

The first and great mistake of Colo

What difference do questions of ma
tional significance, like the tariff or
financial qestion make in local affairs?
Absolute suffrage has not done all that
IS expected of it yet. We were fooled
ut first through our inexperience, and
corrupt politicians. in order to bring
suffrage into disrepute and drive wo-
men out of the conventions, put to the
front as many disreputable women as
they could, insisting that they should
represent the women. But the better
class OF women in Colorado are not 90.

The President Is Suffering From
Rheumatic GOut.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-President
Cleveland has suffered for a week past
from rheumatic govt, which has now
| assumed such proportions that there
IS some question whether or not he will
be able to take part in the inaugural
ceremonies at the capitol, on March 4,
though he Is taking special care of
himself in order that he may perform
his part in the ceremonies. While his
cond1t1On is not such as to excite any
alarm, 1t is extremely painful.
Secretary Thurber admitted today
that the president was confined to his
bed. Surgeon General Sternberg. Of the
army, was called in, and he said that
rest and nursing was all that was
needed to put the president ON his feet,
but he advised quiet and as little worry
as possible over official duties. For
several days past, the president has
been receiving no visitors, and all his
office work has been transacted sitting
at his desk, with one leg swathed in
b2nGageS and resting on a chair The
presidents condition is causing anxiety
to senators and representatives Of both
parties, who fear that it may cause
him to leave unsigned a number of
minor bills Of particular interest to the
members who have been pushing them.
and which otherwise would have re-
ceiVed the presidents signature before
the closing or his term of office.
Rev. DR.. Sunderland, the president S
pastor, was an early caller at the White
house today, and anxiously inquired
about the presidents condition. The
last meeting of the cabinet was held
today, but for the first time it was
conducted without the presence of the
chief magistrate. He remained in his
private apartments, and all matters
have been referred to him there
AS to the possibility of the PRESIDENT
inability to attend the inaugural exer-
cises, Secretary Thurber said today:
II fear there is, but he will go if he
can force himself to do it."
Capt. Robley d. Evans called this
morning to arrange for the duck shoot
ing trip that was to be taken the lat
ter part CT the week. Mr. Cleveland had
intended leaving Thursday afternoon
for the South on a lighthouse tender,
but 1t is now more than probable that
the trip Will have to be abandoned.
The president has invited Mr.. and Mrs
Mckinley to dinner tonight at the
White house, and this invitation still
holds good.

A REFoRMATORY FOR WOMEN

We urge again upon all friends Of
reformatory work, and especially upon
the people Of this city, the necessity
of pressing upon the attention of the
legislature the demand Of a state re-.
formatory for women. The Globe
has already stated the case fully. and
earnest men and women have been
working for this object zealously: but
1t Is one which appeals only to the
wider sympathies Of the public. and
for which special effort must be made
II 1t is not to fail in the crush AMI
bustle of measures clamoring for leg
1sIat1ve favor The need Of a Women-s
reformatory is no longer denied. Our
Phllanthrop1sts recommend it. The
managers of correctional institutions
admit and declare 1t. The courts them
selves have called attention to the 1ar,,
OF proper facilities for the care of fe-
male offenders. Proud as we are of orr
record for splendid and complete nub-
lie institutions, we cannot afford Tn
nave it impaired by the absence of that
one which should require the least ar
gument of all to sustain it's claims. Tn
private life no man worthy of the name
hears an appeal for help or care from,
woman without a quick response.
Surely the element Of chivalry and the
sentiment of duty that compeIs caro-
for the weaker ought not to be ignored
in public affairs. For our honor for
our manhood and for the sake Of hui
mainly, this modest institution, which
Is all that the state needs and probably
all that it will ever need for the care
and correction Of women, should he
provided.
One other thing let us say, because
strangely encugh,a contrary view seems
TO have been taken by some. This
institution is for women, and it's loca.
ton and it's management in all essen
tai details should be determined NV
women. Although the women's re.
formatory will be an essential mart Of
the correctional system of the state, il

AT THE THEATERS.

Mr.. John E. Henshaw and his company in
the lively farce, Dodge at the French Ball -
will close their engagement at the Metropoli-
tan opera house with two performances TODAY
a matinee this afternoon and the farewell
performance tonight.
The engagement of the Francis Wilson
opera company in the greatest and most sue
cessful Of Mr.. Wilson's productions, Half
a King" begins at the Metropolitan opera
house tomorrow evening. In this piece Will
son plays a French mountebank Tireschappe
who, while performing with his troupe at
an open air resort on the Seine's banks gets
mixed up with the nobility in a most extra
ordinary manner and it takes some acts of
music and song and fun to straighten mat
tiers out. Harry B. Smith adapted Half a.
King" from French piece by NM. Letterrier
and Vanioo. Of the original French version
but little if anything Is known in this coun-
try. 1t was never played here at any rate
Ludwig Highlander, who has developed so
rapidly as a composer in the last two or three
years, wrote all the music fer Half a King -
and it's great success has established him as
one of the ablest composers of light works
we have in this country. 1t is almost unneces-
sary to say that Half a King will be mag
nif1cently mounted. Those play-goers who
are familiar with the high standard of Fran
els Wilson'S productions for the past seven
years need not be told that his new success
will be beautifully and artisticaIly staged
The scenery is by Henry Hoyt and Richard
Marston. The Francis Wilson opera COM
pan this season is said to be larger and mora
complete than ever. 1t includes such well
known artists as Miss Lulu CHASER. Miss
