COLORADO WOMEN sUFFRAGIST
ADDRESS.

The Colorado Equal Suffrage asso-
citation and the Civic federation Of
Denver have issued an address in reply
to reports that have been circulated
about the results of female suffrage in
Colorado. 1t is in the nature of a de-
Tense and was needless. Woman suf-
frage needs no defense airy more than
free government does.
Those who put forth the address say
they do not claim any phenomenal
good has been secured by the vote of
women. That is true, but we do not
think il true for the reason that is
assigned, seemingly, for it. The adj
dress says that the tyranny of politi-
cal machinery, made effective by long
usage under the management of
trained workers, cannot be overcome
by the enthusiasm of raw recruits
Even when these raw recruits become
veterans it is folly to expect that the
evils of political machines will be done
away with entirely. 1t is also folly to
expect that the entrance of women
into politics will greatly change the
nature of politics or the manner in
which the game is played. The justi-
fication of woman suffrage is that it is
but the recognition of worzen's just
claims to participate in the affairs of
the government under which they live
That is the justification of it, and that
alone. There has been any amount
Of twaddle talked about the better
influence" of women in politics, how
they would make of it a sort of pink
tea where schemes of party leaders
would be replaced with color schemes.
1t is this very twaddle that has dis
gusted so many and made them op
posed. to female suffrage. Women have
just as good capacity for politics and
administering the affairs of govern
ment as men. The quality of their
work viii depend entirely upon the
quality OF their thought In the mu-
nicipal election in this city this fall
We expect t. see no more interested
voters than the women and we be-
lieve their ballots will be cast for bet
ter government.

What is the news that comes from
Cuba that causes a suppressed excite
ment at Washington? What is it that
Consu1-General Lee has said that the
senate is so anxious to know? Con-
Sress and the administration seem to
be on the verge of another Cuban ex-
element. but it does not appear to be
of exactly the same nature that 9TH
ers have been. Members of the SEN
ate foreign relations committee have
been in consultation with the president
and he is reported to have requested
until Monday in which to consider mat
tiers, though it is said he told the mem
bers of the committee that he had no
present intention of changing his policy
towards Cuba
This viii not suit the fire-eating Nor
gan who. apparently, is more anxious
for trouble with Spain than for the
recognition of Cuban belligerency or in
dependence. 1t never has been possible
to learn the truth about the real condi-
ton of affairs in Cuba, and while the
sympathies of the American people al
ways have been and still are with the
Cuhans. still those sympathies have
been so played upon that the peonl
have become somewhat suspicious
about news ema2ating exclusively from
Insurgent sources. So also have they
lost much Of their solioitude FOR nat
uralized Americans living III Cuba, this
in large part owing to the doings of
such nat,ralized Americans as San
gully. They are beginning to realize
that many Cubans have taken out nat
uralization papers solely for the cur-
pose of invoking the protection CT this
government while they plot against
Spain.

TIE PRESIDENTS PROSPECTIVE
VISIT.

The invitation TO President McKin-
ley to visit Utah's jubilee celebration
in July is calling forth comments.
The western papers favor the idea.

which the entire west has great
interest. The presidents prospective

question. that Of the desirability Of the
chief executive of the nation visiting
each and every state of the Union dur
ing his administration. The San Fran
cisco Chronicle. commenting upon the
presidents prospective visit to Utah
and the west, says:
1t is satisfactory to know that Presi-
dent Mckinley intends, if possible, to
visit the west. Most Of our presidents
have held aloof from the greater half
of the Union, keeping themselves in
the northeastern corner of the country
and imbibing the New England and
New York views of public policy and
welfare. 1t is doubtful that any presi-
dent from George Washington down 70
Ulysses s. Grant ever crossed the Mis-
sissippi while in Office. Only two or
three of them ever saw the great plains.
After Grants time three presidents
came west, President Hayes paying a

Visit TO this coast, as did President
Harrison, while President Arthur made
a summer excursion to the Yellowstone
park Only two presidents ever crossed
the Rockies. and but few of the more
recent ones have done better by the
south. Mr.. Cleveland had no use for
the west, his curiosity never leading
him beyond Buffalo before he became
president, nor beyond Chicago after
ward. There can be no doubt that this
provincialism in his makeup limited
his public usefulness, as it surely did
his personal popularity. He would
have had a broader and truer view of
American affairs had he known the
west as well as he did the east In
point of fact. nearly all the presidents
of the United States have been sec
tional. Future ones, including McKin-
ley, would serve themselves and the
nation by visiting every state during
their terms of Office and staying in each
long enough TO take note of what part
its people are playing and ought to
play in the building of this republican
empire.
Valuable as would be the knowledge
gained of the country, its extent, char
acter and resources. the knowledge
gained of the people would be still
more valuable. Had Mr.. Cleveland
visited the west it would have modi-
fed his views of portion of the
country he always had erroneous ideas
of and which the people of that por-
ton believe he always held in con-
tempt. But Mr.. Cleveland was always
VIGOROUSLY wanting in SAVIOR fare.
1t is always to be regretted whenever
a people and those whom they have
honcred with the highest offices in
their gift become estranged. And this
is what has happened in the case of
Mr.. Cleveland.

mer his visit will please the people

GREATER NEW YORK.


Americans have always had repu-
tation for admiring big things, for pre-
ferring quantity to quality. And at
times one cannot but feel that there is
perhaps only too much ground for
making the assertion.
The latest big thing" in the United
States is Greater New York. This
new city, new in its government ct
least, will begin its official existence on
January 1, 1898. That Greater New
York is proud of itself there is no
doubt, as proud as a boy with his first
pair of red top boots, that is, as proud
as boys used to be of red top boots.
for such boots are no longer made. 1t
is patting itself on the back in rather
boastful manner. The World says
that even the mere figures of its great
ness are interesting. which they surely
are, and gives them as follows:
1t has an area of 306 square miles.
Its population exceeds 3, 100. 600. Its
real estate is assessed for taxation ct
81, 221, SIS, sos. It's foreign comm cree
last year exceeded $1,000, 600, 000 It's
public schools number $50, with 202, J51
scholars and 1854 teachers. 1t has g.
$50 policemen and 2,167 paid firemen.
1t has more than seven thousand men
in its militia force. It's pay roll con-
tains SO, 113 names and calls for an
annual payment of s33.769,0OO. 1t has
SO public libraries, 264 asylums and
hospitals. LOO churches. II, 961 saloons,
$500 acres of parks. 160 miles OF ele-
waited railway and 1,040 miles of surface
railway.
The World then says that it is the
first city in the world in the energy,
intelligence and capacity of its inhab-
itants for accomplishing results. That
may or may not be true, but the boast
is in execrable taste. and sounds very
much like the bray of small town
where all the men are brave, all the
women beautiful, and where men are
never born with any but the greatest
talents, and very frequently with
genius
Greater New York hasn't got into it's
harness yet and will not for many
months. The marner in which the old
New York has beer, governed does not
give the greatest promise of success
in the new venture. To govern as it
should be a city like Greater New
York. or any other large city, requires
executive ability of the very highest
order. 1t is in reality a more difficult
task than to govern state or nation.
When several million human beings
come in contact with each other daily.
then arise the real problems of gov
eminent, the problems that must be
solved forthwith.
Everyone will wish Greater New
York every success in every respect.
May its government be so perfect that
all the great cities of the world will
say: Let us take Greater New York
for our model.

He Was Adiudged Insane.

Louisville Courier Journal: A barrister
of the city court is very much chagrined
on account of trick thereby causing
him to lose a fee of $25. Several days ago
a man was arrested on the charge of
shooting at without wounding. This
picturesque figure of the city court, who
brags that the rich coloring on his nose
has cost him a small sized fortune, was
consulted and consented TO defend the
man.
Before the trial came up the barrister
called his client from the court room
and said: Now, the only way you can
get out of this scrape is TO play insane
Whenever a question is put to you, in
stead of giving an intelligent answer, just
wave your hand in front of your face
and whistle. The judge will at once ad-
judge you insane and of course you will
be all right"
The man consented to play insane and
took his seat on the stand.
WHAT is your name?" asked one OF
the attorneys.
The defendant looked idiotic, waved
his hand and then whistled.
Everybody in the court room began to
laugh. Question after question was asked
the man, but he answered all of them by
waving his hand and whistling immedi-
ately afterwlrd
judge.
'Ah. what did l tell your" said the
barister. walking over to his client and
congratulating him. That was a mag
nihcent play. / will charge SIS for de-
Tending you and would like to have my
money now"
The alleged insane man looked wor-
RED and scratched his head. He never
said word, but waved his hand through
the air. gave a short shrill whistle and
bid the attorney a fond adieu.

SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY.

She walks in beauty, like the night
OF cloudless chimes and starry skies
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meets in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus me lowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less.
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves n every raven tress,
Or softly lightens Ger her face:
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How, pure. how dear their dwelling
place.
And on hat cheek, and DER that brow.
So soft. so calm, yet eloquent.
The smiles that win. the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind ut peace with all below
A heart whose love is innocent.
