One Side Of the Question. /.

SUGAR costs about ninety cents per 100
tion than in Denver and other points
across the range. notwithstanding the
fact that every pound Of it goes through
our city. This is not as is generally
supposed. due to the action OF the rail
roads. but because OF prices fixed by
the great sugar trust. The free coinage
of silver is hardly as important to us as
this question.-Grand Junction News.
Give us free coinage OF silver and we
can well afford to pay the extra ninety
cents and at the same time use more
sugar, too.

THIS week has marked no important
new developments resulting from the
Maine disaster. Naval authorities are
unanimous in declaring that the explo
sion could not have been accidental and
the theory that the explosion occurred
in the vessel is said to be most improb
able. The government at Washington
refuse to believe the cause OF the disas
ter anything but accidental and-there
you are. 1t is very apparent Il at the
United States government is apprehen-
sive of some difficulty with Spain. The
rush orders that have put the men at
government arsenals and posts at work
and those that have put the copcer rs
engag ed in the manufacture Of munition )
OF war into operation, show that we arc
to be prepared for emergencies at least.
Our men.of-war have been ordered to
some OF the important seaports, officers
Of the marine corps to be in readiness
for movement at a minutes notice and
American officers now on leave to their
posts. The Spanish cruiser Viscaya is
still anchored in New York harbor sur
