Still With the People.

A bill introduced in the last legislature,
and passed by both branches of it, pro-
Ivided that insurance should be written
only by agents resident within counties
in which policies are to be of force.
When later this bill reached the execu-
tive department. Governor Adams vetoed
it. Now the Pueblo papers are declaring
the act of the governor wrong one and
citing that almost 90 per cent of the in.
surance agents of the state worked for
the bill, concluding therefore, says the
Colorado Springs Telegraph. that the
governor should have signed instead of
killing the measure.
1t is remarkable governor Colorado
has now. He simply will not pay seri-
GUS attention to the wishes of corpora
tons, cliques, or to even scheming indi-
vduals. 1t is astonishing to think that
when he saw the insurance agents lined
up against the people who buy insurance,
that he stopped to heed the general pub
| lie, or at least to leave them the whole
| fine them to the narrow competition of
their own several counties.
Then, too, it was this same Governor
Adams who, when he had proof positive
in his hands that the oleomargarine
manufacturers wanted it. took it upon
himself to veto the oleo bill. What
possessed him 10 do this? He knew, as
well as that unknown Denver lawyer,
that the packers of Omaha, Kansas City
and Chicago. including Fairbanks. the
soap man, all worked to have that bill
passed. He knew that. One OF the
manufacturers had told him, and he
knew, further, that all save one had paid
their assessment to the lobby to have the
bill passed What then did Governor
Adams mean by vetoing the bill?
These are not the only instances where
the governor has ignored the plans OF
the sharps and taken sides with the peo.
pie, and somehow or other the more he
is assailed by such forces as these last tc
enter the lists against him, the more
striking it appears that instead of a gov
ernor he is a guardian, and instead Of
welding a prerogative be is still IN the
ranks with the people with whom he SO
long and successfully battled. More
power to his elbow.

him. The sleeper complained of no dis

take hold of the mans hand, go into

else. For instance, there are FIVE of US
Greenhorna, or Greenhorners, in this
cabin. One has shed his clothes, or
part of them, and is engaged in washing
them, for Greenhorners are not of pro-

Last night about six inches of snow
fell on top of other six inches already
covering the ground. 1t came down as
silent and still as Quaker meeting; no
bluster, no blow, no noise, and this
morning the gray fog hangs over the
hills and thrusts its ghostly lances
through the fir tree tops as though it
would destroy them. The tall tama-
racks, with their twiglets of limbs max
ing delicate tracery against the gray
skies, lift their m1naret-like and grace
full boles up, apparently to the very
heavens. There is something almost
oppressive in the silence of forest when
the deep snow lies through and under
and upon it. It is the silence of the
tomb. the stiffness OF Democratic de-
feat, the holy, quiet calm of a Populist
Waterloo. The little twittering birds
that hang around all winter to twIt a

lence comes from far up the canyon the
faint sound of the busy stamps in the
Don Juan quartz mill, a ten-stamper |
that grinds merrily night and day, week
in and out, serving man and mammon,
if nothing else.
Speaking of the Don Juan mine, or
mill, reminds me that someone has been

locations, and their name is legion, be-
sides other things. On the very summit
of old Greenhorn isa promising mine,
appropriately named the Diadem. Near
it is the Banzett, and scattered over the
hills are hundreds of others, varying as
to wealth, incongruous as to name. The
Union lies next the Imperial; the White
and Red Bulls are yoke fellows, while a
gang of Polygamists from Utah have 8
group of claims named after the twelve
Mormon apostles and the heads of the
"stakes of Zion" They also have, 80

of this, it being merely hearsay. do

with trembling hand, spilled the hot oil
from her lamp upon poor Cupid, and
was transformed into butterfly; she,
