policy. His closing speech called
both Teller and Wolcott to their
feet, when he said: "The action
the senate is about to take places
it in deadlock with the House

States. 1t is a remarkable spec

demsodsd to know upon what au-
thority the statement Was made
and Senator Teller called him to

to refer TO the action of the House

referred to the line marked out in
the presidents message and con
tinued: 1--WE are to thrust this

ton he has declared he does not

chief executive is the nearest ap-

IT has looked wnrlike since Mon
day, and yet when we survey the
whole field it appears to be only
paper war. Spain is practically
bankrupt and is getting no support
in Europe, and is has been say
ing for quarter of n century that
"no nation dare go to war without
the sanction of the RothsclIilds."
This Spain has not secured and
cannot secure, and hence it is folly
for her to engage in war with the
United States on this side of the
Atlantic. And we still insist there
will not be much of war. There
may be just enough war to cloud
the political skys and to upset all
political calculations. 1t is easy to
fool a part OF the people all of the
time.

Knowing that the reading pub
lie of Colorado, Wyoming New
Mexico and the entire inter-noun-
lain region want only the most re-
liable news in regard TO the pres
ent Spanish-Cubnn complications
aud the best possible reports con-
cerning the naval engagements and
the land battles in Cuba, The-Den-
YER Republican has secured the
exclusive right to publish each
morning, simultaneously with its
Publication in New York, the spe-
ial news of the New York Herald.
That great paper is ncknowl-
edged by all unbiased people of
North America and Europe to be
the most genuinely cnterprising
OF any journal Of the present day
and generation, as it was in the
last generation. Its news gather
ing facilities are uuequalled and
its telegraph reports of events are
as absolutely accurate ms conscien-
tious correspondents cnn possibly
make them. In addition to it's su-
perb news service, it proposes by
the most advanced Photographic
process to reproduce scenes of all
battles just as they occur.
The Denver Republicans ar
rangement with the Herald, made
at a great cost to itself for the sole
benefit Of its readers, include the
very cream of the Herald's exclu-
sive and reliable news service, as
well MS the photographs Of all con-
tlicts. These will be furnished
each day TO all of the readers Of
The Republican. TIE people OF
the inter.moun,ain country are to
be congratulated that they will thus
be enabled to sharc in the best
news advantages OF the reading
public Of the metropolis of Amer
lea.

The attempts of Governor Pin

The attempts Of Governor Pm
gree, of Michigan, to bring the
corporations to account by calling
special session of the legislature,
have been defeated by means OF an
enormous corruption fund. The
Governors bill for the creation of
state board to assess the proper
ty of railroad, telegraph and tele-
phone corporations in Michigan,
aud providing that such property
pay local tax rates, which passed
the House almost unanimously,
was rejected by the Senate by
vote of l6 to Is. The corporations
made their grand rally when the
bill went TO the Senate and sue
ceeded in defeating it only after
the most desperate efforts.
There is something really in-
comprehensive IN the deluge Of
abuse that has poured down on
Governor Pingree's head during
this Legislative session. The cor
poration magnates have spared NO
words in their denunciation. They
have called the governor an Anar-
chist, Socialist, u robber, wild
incendiary and leader of the
mob. There was something in the
vehemence of the language en-
ployed 10 occasion amusement.
There was certainly nothing in it
to take seriously. But it is typi-
cal Of the attitude Of the corpora
tions which refuse TO concede that
any opposition TO their wishes can
be based upon creditable motives.
What step the Governor propos-
es to take next we do not know,
but rs lie is very determined
man and hns sworn to make the
corporations pay their taxes, he
will do at least some.hing.-Twen-
tieth Century.

Demonstration on Pacific Coast.
On the Panama liner Advance. which
reached New York yesterday, was Commo-
dore Carlos Ferryros OF the Peruvian navy,
who is en- route to Paris for the purpose.
it is said, of purchasing warships for the
Peruvian navy.
Rumors had been current In Panama
prior to July o. those on the Advance said.
when Commodore Ferryros arrived there
on the steamer Santiago from Callao, con-
cerning a strong agitation throughout Peru
against the United States, owing TO tari1
differences between the two countries exist
ing since 1885. During the height of the
anti-Unfted States feeling in Peru there
was considerable talk about North Amer
lea being unable to protect its Pacific coast
line on account of the Spanish war. and
that a Peruvian demonstration there
abouts might compel the United States 20
modify her demands 1t was also limited
that secret agents had been sent to Europe
for the purchase of war vessels, and that
an important move might be made at an
early day. These rumors were partially
confirmed by Commodore Ferryros' admis-
sion that he was on his way TO Paris to
purchase warships for the Peruvian gov
ernment-
No little excitement was caused In Gen.
tral America when the Information that
Peru was taking steps TO strengthen he's
navy became known.
