THE SILvER STAR is established
in Dolores because the editor be.
lievcs he can make a living here.
No one gave me a cent to come
here no one has any strings on Us,
IN We expect to earn ali we get.
We are neither begging nor de4
manding anything What we
would like, is that we be given ati
opportunity to prove our wofth and
be given a share of your patronage
and the pay fof sathe, If we make
satisfactory showing.
We will try to keep the SILVER
STAR above petty politics, and in
local affairs our policy will be to
support the best inan for the place;
without regard to politics.
Sehatof H. M. Teller is our ideal.
He is HAN, a statesman, and an
American in every sense Of the
word, and we think nothing within
the gift Of the people Of the state Of
Colorado Il too good for him.
The SILVER STAR will advocate
the free coinage of silver until pros
perity is restored. If Mckinley and
his people can give us prosperity by
fixing up a trade with the English,
French, Dutch, Irish or Hottentots;
we are agreeable. Prosperity is
what we want, and we don't care
much where it comes from, just SO
it will wear.
1t is our firm conviction, how.

MOCK TRIALOFA ARNOLD.
Novel Entertainment of the Sons OF
the American Revolution.

New York Jan. 1S.-The monthly
meeting of the Empire State society,
Sons of the American Revolution, at
the Hotel Normandie last night was
novel and entertaining one.
1t was devoted to the trial of Bene-
dict Arnold, the monumental traitor of
American history, on charge of trea-
SON No better guarantee of a fair
post-mortem trial for the unfortunate
and detested American renegade could
be furnished than the fact that Chaun-
cey M Depew occupied the woolsack
as presiding judge.
The reasons given for this somewhat
delayed act of justice to Arnold lies in
the fact that, as he was never captured
he was never tried for his traitorous
conduct toward his flag and country
Col Henry w. Slack of Gov. Black 5
staff acted as prosecuting attorney and
the defense was conducted by Col. Ed
ward A Sumner. The Indictment
against Arnold was presented by Rich
ard H Clark, and was read by Col j.
P. Scharf, by whom it had been pre-
pared.
Col. Summers defense was an elo-
quent mixture of fact, fiction, pathos
and humor, and it evidently had its
effect upon the presiding judge. He
decided that while the Punishment
and downfall of Arnold were just, he
was entitled to the credit of brave
deeds on the field of battle. Among
those present were Gen. Horatio King,
Stillman F. Kneeland, Rear Admiral
Erben, .Garret P. Serviss and Stewart
L. WOodfOrd.

YANKEES SNUB A NEGRO.
Members of Massachusetts Council
Snub Their CoIored Associate.

Boston, Jan. 18.-Isaac B. Allen, the
distinguished colored adviser of Cover
nor WOlcOtt, was early on hand at the
first meeting of the executive council
today. He took his seat in the council
chamber long before his fellow council
ors arrived and busted himself writing
letters.
His appearance was most gentle
manly, and there was nothing in his be-
haVior or dress to attract attention. He
was on dress parade, as it were, for all
the solons glanced into the chamber,
eagerly expectant of the opening break
among the governors advisers. When
the council met Lieutenant Governor
Crane occupied the chair. After trans
acting some routine business the lieu
tenant governor hurriedly left, to dine
alone. Mr.. Allen remained, in anticipa-
ton of the regular dinner party, which
has been custom with the councillors
from time immemOrial, but he was
doomed to disappointment. One by one
the councillors slipped out and Allen was
left alone.
1t was apparently preconcerted snub
and points to the fact that the HOnora-
bic Ike" is barred out of the social
swim because Of his color. But it didn't
discomfort him one bit. He, too, dined
alone, and he paid his check in the no.
tel cafe with the air of a millionaire. He
had no comments to make on the treat
ment accorded him, but he inferred that
he might at the next meeting extend a
formal invitation to his fellow council
OrS to dine with him at his expense
