| l:berate pollcy OF kings ana
mobiles to surround themselves
with the evidences and glory of
power, especially in ceremonies
I relating to the inve8titure Of
of sovereignty for the purpose of
entertaining the people and OF
filling the popular imagination
with an impression of greatness
and with a restraining fear OF
power. None of these objects
have any place in free govern
ment, where the president is not
a ruler, but a servant of the peo-
pie, and holds his office by popu-
lar consent.
Chicago Record: 1t must be
regretted that Mr.. Mckinley at
the outset has seen fit to try
again an experiment which was
unsuccessful in its first trial, and
which looks like an evasion of
the main and vital issues now at
stake. There will be an extra
session of congress, with the ex
pense and inconvenience and dis
turbance which extra sessions
always involve, and this session
is called, not to undertake the
reform of The currency system
or the improvement of our
finances, but simply to re-enact
laws which are Intellectual, if not
positively injurious.
A gold democrat repudiatcd
by his party is soon to vacate
the White House to make room
for a gold republican. There is
nothing of hope in the circum-
stances to arouse the enthusiasm
of the producing and toiling
thousands of the land. The
Bradley Martins will set the pace
for those who will make glad the
event, and the protected trusts
will furnish the spondulix. Great
is protection.
If the situation were not SO
serious, the reasons assigned by
the gold bugs for the depression
of industry and trade would be
ludicrous. Once il was the sill
yer purchasing act, then the sill
yer agitation, then the Venezue-
Ian incident, then the Cuban
agitation, in fact almost any
thing except the true reason is
assigned. But this sort of thing
cannot last. Sometime the peo-
pie of the East will wake up to
the real facts. Grand Junction

About sic, 900 worth of fat
lambs were shipped East on
Monday from Fort Collins.
From this time on almost a con-
tinuous string of fat lamhs will
be moving eastward, while a
stream of money W i'll be flowing
westward into the pockets OF the
Larimer county feeders, until
final shipments are made in
May. This is the kind of profit
able farm business that is posi-.

Fitzhugh Lee, the first and only
representative of the Cleveland
administration with the manli-
and bravery to stand up for
American honor in Cuban affairs.
He chafed in silence for months.
By his recent actions and utter

The object which Mr., Teller
and his silver Republican asso-
ciates hope to accomplish by
their new organization is, prob
ably, a weakening OF the old Re.
publican party. This may result
in time for the next congress
sional election, but the ultimate
effect of the whole performance
will be simply I'd cause the ex-
penditure OF a little more money
on the part Of the Hannacrats
to retain their ower.--Aspen

The noble fight that is being
made in the senate for the cause
Of humanity in Cuba is made by
representatives of the people
Senator Allen Of Nebraska, Pop
ulist leads in the battle, and a
number of Democratic senators
and very few Republicans are
supporting him. The aristocracy
is for saving expense and letting
