Modern Peacemakers

The Denver Republican of recent date contains the following caustic editorial in regard to the influences brought to bear on governments at the present day:
 The men who so conspicuously throw their in- fuence in favor of peace in these days and whose counsel seems in numerous instances to have prevented war. hardly belong to the class upon whom a blessing was pronounced by the Saviour. They are advocates of peace. not be- cause they love peace. but because they dread the losses which they fear would come through wat
 These men are, however, the real rulers of the world. They control cabinets, ministries and councils. They permit war talk to be carried to certain length, but as soon as the situation be- gins 10 look serions they step in and send the disputants flying in every direction. It then takes them long time to get together again. and when they do the same interference pre- vents them from coming to blows
 These 'preservers of the peace care nothing about national honor. Liberty to them is a vex- atious something about which poor people talk, but which is rather to be stunned than embrac- ed. They hate agitation. They want to be let alone. to follow out their designs for making money. They have m oh to say about the evil of disturbing business, as though business and

INDIAN CATTLE RAISERS.
They Have Failed Though Hay.
 ing Every Advantage.

| khansaS Clty Star.i
 "If there ever was any hope for the Indian in an agricultural way 1t surely was in the direction of raising cattle, ' remarked an old government contractor recently to reporter for the Star.
 1t is good thing for us, though ,'' chimed Tn the cattle buyer, who was an old time friend of the contractor, that tae Indians didn't develop that way"
 Correct you are," retorted the con- traetor. "but it IS curious after all. The Indians had better chance than any white man on earth to go into the cattle business. They had big ranges guarded by government troops. Uncle Sam was | buying stock for them all the time and by this time they should have been the 'bullionaiies' of the country. But it is not so; i'll iact there is not tribe in tn United States that has cattle enough for it's own needs."
 Yes" said the:buyer, "they had big herds of COW ponles, they are good plalnsmen; herdlng cattle IS not hard work, and there are always plenty of boys about anlndian camp to take care of 1t without troubling the bucks or squaws. The first work of barbarous man was the tending of herds and tiocks, and it would seem this would be the first move Of the Indian toward civiliz ation, but they skipit somehow"
 .Looa ao tLe crow b,-, here up in Montana" said the contractor. "The finest. best-guarded and watered range in the country, and vet the herd has been growing smaller and smaller all the time, notwith standing the additions made every year by the government. Then look at the five civilized tribes in the territory. They have fine grazing privileges, but lose the benefit of them by leases and then lose the money through the dishonesty of those who make the leases.
 "On the Kiowa and Commanche res ervations the government allows the Indians to sell the grass and each Indian gets about $S5 year grass money. He spends this in a hurry. and that is the end of it. Suppose the government took this grass money for year or so and bought cattle. The result would be that the Indians would sell their grass in the shape of beef, which is far more profitable. It is the same way every where you go. The government has assisted the Indian to dispose of his birthrgbt until the Indian does not recognize it when he meets it in the road. The Indians are colossal failures as cattIemen."

Hughes Gets Five Years.
[Star.l


 Fred G. Hughes was arraigned yes. terday afternoon to be sentenced. he having pleaded guilty to the indictment charging him with the embezzlement oi S3 900 belonging to the Pioneer Histor. ical Society. When asked if he had any reason to assign why sentence should not be passed. MT. Hughes arose and read long essay to the court. He recited his early life here, hls services to the territory as 8 pioneer, claimed that the $3,000 is not embezzlement be- cause he IS not required to make set clement until the sitting of the next legislature, and at which time, he said he proposed to account for every dollar, winding up bv stating that he had never yet asked any man for mercy, and he would not do Sc now. Judge Davis then imposed 8 sentence of five years in the territorial prison.
 Mr Hughes had hoped 10 get a some what lighter senteucs. hut had been in mat ne would in all probability get five years.

, been going on in this room for many minutes past"
 What is it?" asked. ''I thought that heard some one speaking"
 "You did," he replied, II have dis tinctly heard a voice close beside s, yet there is no one Tn the room except ourselves and these two poor people,"
 "Perhaps the woman has been talk ing in her sleep" I suggested, Cor maybe that the man is not dead after all."
 "No. 1 have looked at both," he re- turned.
 "There it is again." he muttered ag- itatedly.
 "A low, confused murmur arose in the room. Again it arose, coming from a point over our heads until It seemed to emanats from some invisible source behind us.
 "Oh, my poor wife!"
 The weird, uncanny. startffngly sig ni6cant words amazed us. We sCrutinized the corpse. It had not changed position or appearance: The flesh had growu perfectly cold, the muscles rigid. There was not trace of vitality in it.
 Now, 1 do not expect you to believe what followed Yet swear to you, on the word of an honest man, that I do not deviate from the truth by 8 syI- lable.
 ''In the name of God. assist me back to life," was the next astounding words:
 We gazed at each other absolutely unnerved and appalled,.
 Again was the voice audible. .'Oh, have pity" it said.
 "Who speaks to us?" cried the doctor at last.
 The soul of the man who lies dead before you"
 'It is impossible that the dead can spea-, sad the doctor 'No, for the intelligence never dies.

I can not. will not be separated from her."
 The doctor spoke no more. But for the poor wife lying on the bed we would both have fled forthwith.
 Some hours passed in ominous sil- ence. The dawn came. Suddenly we both started. The voice had again spoken. "HelpW it cried in faint &C., cents; "for Gods sake, help.'
 We hesitated then hastened to the corpse and removed the covering. There was an alteration in it's pallor. Our in- stincts conquered our weakness. A powerful restorative was administered, and before many moments tHe color was coming back to the wan cheeks. A sigh, and the eyes opened. The young man was restored to life.
 Tender and wonderful was the meet ing between the pair in the beauty of the morning.
 The young man remembered nothing since the previous evening, save vague, dream-like. intense sorrow for his young wife. He had no knowledge of the voice which addressed us.
 We learned that the persecution of relatives opposed to their marriage hal driven the young pair to flight and poverty. We insisted on the right of securing their future prosperity ont of our ample means.
