POLITICAL WAR.
Between Factions of Silver RepubIf-

COLORADO SPRINGS. Col, Sept. T.
The political war between two factions
of the Silver Republicans resulted in
the death of Charles Harris, of Denver.
One faction attempted to capture the
Opera House, which was guarded by
the Sprague faction. At O'Clock
rush was made by fifteen or twenty
men from both the front and rear of
the building. The Sprague men, who
held the position, fired a volley and Har-
ris fell. The shooting occurred lust
outside the Opera House. Several ar
rests have been made, including the
man who fired the fatal shot The
shooting is the result of National
Chairman Town removing Richard
Brood from the chairmanship for al
legged dislOyalty.

PASSING OF ISMARCK

The announcement of the death of
ferent word sensation than that of the
great English commoner, only a few
weeks ago, for there was little that was
lovable in his character, little to draw
men to him, little to endear him to man
kind, little calculated TO make his demise
felt as a personal loss. 1t was the
antithesis of Gladstone's. He earned his
title by life devoted to the throne rath-
more of an absolutist than his master.
His later years were embittered by his
inability to bow in submission to the
power which he himself had, in large
scented Force which he himself could not
brook. An important if not an essen
tial factor in German unity, when that
was accomplished his life work was done.
But that was enough for one man to do.
There is not much else in his long public
career to remember-not much that is
worth remembering. Had he not been
so distinguished for his ultra absolut-
ism. so grounded in the faith. so unalter-
ably committed to the doctrine, he might
have become a very dangerous element
in German politics. after it was minated
to him that he had builded wiser than he
knew, that he might create, but could
not destroy, that the empire was likely
to survive him. But he has since been
scarcely more than a harmless scold,
tolerated because of his past great
achievements. and forgiven because of
his unyielding devotion to country He
will go into history as one of the few
great men of his time who seemed to
have been raised up for the special work
that has distinguished his career.
The herald., 1898-07-31

will show that advertising increases
sales; large sales mean increased output
therefore decreasing the cost. Inaction
of machinery follows instead of pre-
ceding demand. Only advertising pre-
cedes demand.
But what has this to do with gullibility?
Nothing more than this-that it was Car
lyles article on "Gullibility" which sug-
gested this one, though the above is all
that is positively remembered of.it.
To our mutton: The Yankee is consid-
cred a shrewd, cunning trader. The
westerner, as the acclimated tenderfoot,
imagines himself to be the least gullible
animal since the anthropoid ape. Is he?
One would hardly think so; from "a pen
nys worth of observation" he Invites
his soul to Loaf on Spring and other
streets of Los Angeles.
Public grumbling is a crime. Is it a
necessary crime? Crime that cannot be
suppressed by legislation is d recognized
fact. But it is also a fact that legisla-
ton can drive crime from the public
gaze. 1t is a deplorable fact that the
streets of Los Angeles are peppered over
with gambling machines in full public
glare. The cigar stores, without WIN
dows or doors, and every saloon, have
from one to three nickel-in- the-slot ma
chimes.
Any argument is out of place that
tries to show whether such devices are
gambling ones or no. They are not
only gambling machines, but are, in the
gamblers parlance, brace games" If
they were not, where would the profit
be for the manufacturer, renter, and. sad
to say, local government-for are not
those clumsy little hells" taxed?
Is it any wonder to find the newspaper
Arabs playing craps and pitching pen
MES at most corners where the hustling
little chaps congregate? And is it un-
reasonable for ladies to say that they
would like to try their luck-only at
looks so bad to be seen in cigar store?"
Let us suggest, and it is worth money
to the manufacturers, that they place
machines in the ice cream parlors, the
drug stores and millinery shops. Just
imagine such prizes as "a duck of a bon
net" for royal straight flush Gains
of kind; Dewey sailor for full house:
and yard of ribbon for two pair. The
drug man could run the gamut. from
pink pills to Lola Montez's face destroy
ers. Give the ladies a chance. Hust-
ling Hector. Think of the ice cream
mans opportunity.
Now if our people are not gullble,
what in Sam Hill are they? To keep
playing, hour after hour. day after day
and month after month, at what is OBJ
viousy the other fellows game" and
a dead sure winner for him, too, cannot |
be characterized otherwise than that
the players are gulls, and gulls of the
rankest kind.
Gambling will exist. probably, just as
long as man remains ignorant and thinks
he can get something for nothing. 1t is
too large a contract to attempt to elm
mate the speculative habit from man.
That is not necessary; but the publicity, |
which rests entirely in the power of our
officials. ought to be abolished. Let the |
nickel-int heslot machines be driven
behind closed doors and pulled down |
blinds, like other vices winked at in !
our midst. If we can't be good for
goods sake, al least let us be as decent
as the law permits.
