the SOLDIERS HOME.

We are in receipt OF a commu-
nication from the press committee
oi the @. A. r., asking the CO.
operation OF the TRIBUNE IN ''awak-
ening general and popular interest
in the matter OF the proposed re-
moval OF the soldiers home from
Monte Vista to Golden. The old
soldiers do not anticipate defeat
or retreat in accomplishing their
hearts desire. They claim there
can be no valid objection TO the
movement. which is backed by a
unanimous request from the late
department convention o: the
G.. a. Il.
With all due respect Tor the ex-
pressed desire of the old soldiers,
we would suggest that if the re-
moval OF the soldiers home is a
necessity, the Arkansas valley has
some claims that should be reoog-
nizsd. Fort Lyons has for long
time been talked of in this regard.
and the location OF the soldiers
home at that point would be a
commeudabie exhibition of good
sense, both on the score OF ecouo-
my and just recognition OF the
claims OF this portion OF the state.
Golden is suburb OF Denver,
and the capital city has already
clustered about II more than Its fair
share OF state institutions. Some
OF our political leaders seem to be
OF the opinion that the city of Den
yer is the only pebble on the beach
so lar as the state of Colorado is
concerned. But there are others.
Denver cuts very large figure in
our state affairs, bur it is not always
necessary when in Colorado to dc
as Denver says or as Denver does.
The Arkansas valley has some in
dividuality and should make itself
felt.
Ifthe removal OF the soldiers
home is contemplated, bring it to
the Arkansas valley and locate it a,

The place hunters and the pro-
fessional politicians whose palms
are itching for soft snaps and the
spoils OF Office under any disguise
propose TO bamboozie the plain
people by an attemp, to force the
silver issue to the fore front. The
idea tina, we can not have pros
peri,y without the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the ra-
ito OF 10 to / has been pretty ef-
fectnally exploded during the past
year. Conditions were never more
favorable, nor prospects more fiat
tering in Colorado than they are
to-day, and the voters this fall will
be governed by good sense and
sound reason rather than party
frenzy.

in awakening general and Popu-

1t is said that the county com
missioners have decided not to ex-
pend any more money in repairing
the Rocky Ford road after rhe
manner in which it has been done
heretofore. On the low ground
the work done has amounted to
little or nothing, and they are said
to be seriously considering the
proposition OF raising the grade,
where IT is necessary, and covering
the roadway with gravel and sand,
making good hard surface and
one tha, will last for years, II is
to be hoped they will continue in
the serious mood until it brings
results.
