Hereafter In Colorado They May 20 &c

Denver. April 1o.-If the state militia
Of Colorado ever falls shorts of its COM

pected to recruit the ranks Should they

brothers 10 come TO the front. They can
join the militia at their own sweet will,
preceding Governor Adams signs the bill
passed by the legislature today. The
governor says he will sign the bill; m
fact, he is believed to be afraid to refuse
to do so, in view Of the numerous and
advanced advocates OF equal rights IN
the state.
Nobody ever suspected that the legis-
lature was possessed of the spirit of gal
lantry to such an unheard of degree as
was revealed in the passage OF the bill
for the, Reorganization Of the state mill
tia today.
1t has accomplished very little UP 10
this time in the way of legislation, but
when il got down 10 work 1t got there
with both feet, 50 o speak. Perhaps 1t
was negligence or clerical error that

warriors. Whe can tell?
Whatever the explanation-if any Is
necessary-the fact remains that the
new law permits the fair sex to join the
brass buttons and gilt epaulets, and
state militia; to carry a knapsack, wear
brass buttons and gilt epaulets, and
sholder rifle II they have the strength

colonies and generals. and who knows
but some ambitious women may not be-
come brieadier general and ride a
pi ancing steed. Strange things have hap
pened n Colorado!
There Is nothing wanting in the new
law for the reorganization Of the nation
al guard OF the state. The bill now in
the hands Of the governor provides for
"sucn uniforms as may be necessary" to
use the identical language. OF course
this may lead TO some embarrassing sit
uatio1s when the women begin 10 enlist.
II will be necessary for them 10 con-

The GAZETTE regrets the failure of
the Northern Trust Co., on account of
Gov. McGill being at the head of the
same. We believe that the Governor
was merely a figurehead in the scheme,
the promoters desiring to use his
name to give the concern tone. We
believe that the Ex-Governor was
strictly honest SO far as his known
connections are concerned. But it
does look as though the company was
organized for the pecuniary advance
ment of a few sharpers. In the mean
time the query arises where is Secre-
tary Gilbert?

If neighboring towns had postmas-

there would have been good many
newspapers suppressed during the

have contained the results of draw-1

Gle is undoubtedly the invention of
some clever person in the employ of
the Northwestern and the U. P. sys-

The Pioneer. The face of it shows it
to be fake, although it is written in
a manner that commands interest
from the start. The check is alleged
to have been missing ten years and at
the end of that time found by sailor
