iiRitkDs OF SILVER, BEWARE.

1t is the evident policy of Senat-
or Wolcott and his adherents to
bring about all union of the two
wings of the Republican party in
Colorado. They recognize e that so
long as the party is divided there is
no chance for the success of the Re-
publican ticket, and unless an union
is effected, the Honorable Ed will
retire to private life on March a,
1901.
They are going very quietly a.
bout the work of accomplishing
this object. They are buying up
papers all over the state, and hav-
ing them turn gradually into Nc
Kinley sheets. Where there is no
Silver Republican paper published
they establish one, and then have
it begin to praise the administration.
Their workers are now scattered
throughout the state, and have been
doing heroic work for their cause.
One of them was in Durango this
spring, ostensibly on business con-
nected with the revenue depart
ment, and Immediately after his de-
parture the editor of the local Sill
yer Republican sheet had to take a
trip to the Omaha exposition, and
upon his return the sheet enlarged
its telegraph service and almost
doubled the amount of matter it
had been setting up before (making
about four columns in alp, and the
tone of editorials become very
friendly to the administration.
This is only one of the many in
stances that can be cited where the
effect of the Mckinley campaign in
this state can already be seen. 9th
er papers have changed hands"
and come out radical supporters of
the administration. Their first eff
forts of course being directed to a
praise of its conduct of the war but
those have invariably been followed
by articles declaring that silver was
not to be an issue in the coming
campaign in this state and that it
was dead anyhow.
When we remember that in half
the senatorial districts in Colorado
senators will be elected this fall who
will be holdovers in 1000 and will
vote for the next United States sen.
ator from this state we see why Mr..
Wolcott is opening his campaign
thus early. Every senator he sue
ceeds in clecting this fall Is vote
for him in 1900. He can we'll af.
ford to spend his money in buying
up papers and having them all
nounce that silver will not be an
issue this fall.
However, forcwarncd is forearm.
cd and the scheme will receive such
an airing by the loyal silver press
Of the state that the people will be
informed and the plan will fail.
The people Of Colorado will not
vote to return Cousin Eddy to the
senate on the expiration ofhis pres.
ent term. We have had enough of
him and his party In this state.
Fusion or no fusion the next senat-
or from Colorado will be silver

and pillage every city captured in
the war waged by the Americans in
their behalf, 1t is we'll that they
have shown their hand this early.
The Americans will see that the
war is conducted upon modern
plans and if the Cubans continue
to be ungrateful and cowardly they
will find themselves under the rule
of a government that will be as per-
sistent in seeing that they do right,
as Spain was in expressing them.
But upon second thought they are
not to be blamed for entertaining a
desire to plumber Spanish homes,
etc. They have been oppressed so
long that the desire to avenge has
become inherent. Yet they should
be made to respect the power that
has interceded in their hehalf, and
take a step up higher to modern
civilized methods.

First keep pour hands off Of every

1t is almost trite saying that the c.
l.. S. C. is the "nlost American thing in
America" and yet there are thousands
ofbusy Americans whohave not yet TAX
en- time to discover this fact for them
selves. The English year for l89S-99 is
a good time to investigate this plan,
since every American has had his inter-
est in the Old World wonderfully quick
ened during these past few months.
This interest centers not only about
England but also around many countries
Of continental Europe, and there is no
time when a broad view OF English and
OF modern European history can be
taken with greater pleasure and profit
to the average man or woman.

times seems hopeless to one who views
it only through newspapers, but a book

Flags Are Barred.

Washington, March 5.-The congre-
CATION of the holy office, one of the most
solemn tribunals in the Roman Catholic
church, has just sent to this country a
decree regulating the use of flags in
decorating churches at any church
function, which, it is believed, will rouse
much hostile sentiment among patriot
ic Catholic laymen. The decree abso-
lutely prohibits the use of national,
state or other emblems of all purely
secular organizations in any service OF
the church, whether the obsequies of an
official Of standing or in the celebra-
ton of such events as might make the
presence of the flag seem appropriate
The decree admits that the American
flag is the one which must be to all
Americans a glorious emblem of free
dom, but says it can never be consid-
cred as fitting decoration for the
house of God

'Mr. Bailiff," commanded the judge,

and bring him into court"
The bailiff went timidly out of the
courtroom and the judge attempted to
proceed with business. But Williams
racket outside did not cease. 1t grew
worse and the judge looked over the
room for some one else to send out, and
observed the bailiff sitting complacent-
ly on one of the back seats.

Key West, Fla, March 5.-After two
postponements of it's departure, the
court of inquiry left for Havana Fri
day evening on the lighthouse tender
Mangrove. The sessions, it is gen.
orally understood, developed no evil
dence by which the court could definite
ly determine the cause of the explosion.
A naval officer in close touch with the
members of the court said to a CORE
spondent:
testified here were Maine survivors. The
evidence, though in most cases taking
longer to tell, can. be, summed up in
the words of an enlisted man, who, when
Judge Advocate Mark asked him what he
knew about the explosion, replied Sir,
was bowed up. l was saved and I'm here
That was all he could swear to-"
One important fact has been learned,
however. 1t is this: Although the
members of the court have their indi-
vidual theories, they are by no means
prepared as body to give a decisive
verdict. The officer already quoted
said:
eff the court has yet heard any testimony
which would enable it to decide intelli-
gently that The Maine was blown up from
external causes, l am the most mistaken
man in the world. Before the coming Ha-
vana sessions are over it may secure such
evidence and possibly find the blowing up
was Intentional. 1t will learn from the
divers the actual condition of the ship after
the explosion, as it has already learned
from the survivors most Of the details of
the ships condition before the explosion.
With these causes thoroughly established,
the court will hear more expert theoretical
testimony, and then reach a verdict"
