At the meeting OF the populist.state
committee last week the democrats sub
mitted q demand for fair representa-
ton on the state ticket. They set forth
that the fusion majority IN 1886 was
but 1000, and that it is essential that q
renewal Of the friendly alliance be
made. The opinion is expressed that
it is not possible to hold democratic
convention which viii renominate the
entire state ticket as it now stands. The
matter is to be left to the populists 70
decide, but With q suggestion that the
decision must be such as to give the
democrats something or the democrats
cannot rally; their entire vote to the
support Of the ticket. While the writ
ten demands contain no distinct claim
for any particular Office, tits understood
that they want congressman in the
Fourth district, lieutenant governor
and either secretary Of state.or treas
Urer and possibly state superintendent.
The populist committee issued an adj
dress in reply to the demands, IN which
il Is stated that the committee has no
power e. act ii the matter and that it

The hostility OF Germany, Austria,
France and other European powers to
the United States, and their friend
ship TO Spain, in the Cuban matter, is
easily explained. The mOnarchies Of
the eastern hemisphere dread the ex-
ample Of wealthy and mighty repub-
lie coming TO the rescue of the strUg-
Cling Cuban insurgents in their con-
hict with Spain for independence. If
successful, the mere example OF the
power Of a great republic viii be con-
tayiOus among their subjects IN case
OF an attempt to ameloriate their con-
ditiOn, or redress grievances often
suffered under mOnarchial forms Of
government.
The case is about this, it is the an
imOsity Of autOCratic and despOtic
forms Of government against the auto
matte and democratic forms Of govern
ment. France is a republic, but more
IN name than in reality. Great Britain
is a monarchy, but in fact more nearly
q republic than q monarchy. Hence
the latter is inclined to be friendly
and the former unfriendly to US. Then
the French are Of the Latin race and
the English are Of the Saxon race. In
the case Of Germany there Is a jealOsy
Of American competition in manufac-
turing and commercial enterprise.
Apart from all these things there is
sentiment among the European mon
arches that they must hang together
and oppose a solid front against the
spread Of republican ideas as represen-
ted by American influence. As one Of
the signers Of the declaration Of indie
pendence facetiously remarked, after
attaching his signature to the immOr-
tai document: @We must all hang to-
gether now or we will all hang sep
arately" So these powers all feel on
the subject Of the spread Of American
influence and American ideas. The
success Of our army and navy in a var
with Spain, they fear, and truly, would
shake the very foundation Of their
thrones. They fear pan-Americsnism.
The British nation Is an exception to
this rule for several reasons There is
no fear Of the rebellion Of British sub
jects either at home or in her colonies.
England in modern times has govern
ed wisely and well, and has granted to
her dependencies a large degree Of free
dom and autonomy. If she should
form an alliance with the United States
or only an amicable treaty for moral
support in the case Of international
complications, it would be a powerful
aud invincible combination. Other
European powers fear such 8 coalition
and dread pan-Anglo-SaxOnism.
Russia has been considered almost
as a traditional friend. It is to be
hoped that We may be able to retain
her friendship. Most Of the powers do
not seem to understand the intentions
Of this country. They continually in
sist that the war on our part is one Of
aggression waged for the purpose Of
acquisition Of territory. They simply
cannot believe our avoWal Of disinter-
estedness, nor think it possible that a
nation can be otherwise than selfish in
its foreign policy. Austria may de-
serve a little allowance at our hands
for her attitude. The queen regent is
an Austrian archdutchess. blood is
thicker than water"

The following is from the Monday
issue Of the Denver Republican and
this same company, which is now play
ing at the Lyceum in Denver, will be
at the GoOdland opera house, Thurs
day night, May 5:
"In Old Madrid" a well written
comedy, played at the Lyceum yester-
day to-tWo large audiences, aud viii be
the attraction this week. The scenes
are laid in Spain and the costuming is
picturesque A young Cuban falls in
love with the daughter of rich Spani-
ard The fatheris opposed to the match
and the Cuban plans to win the daugh-
ter without his consent. He tells the
old Spanisrd that he has fallen in love
with beautiful and wealthy girl, but
her father is opposed to their marriage.
Never sUspecting that the girl is his
own daughter, the father advises the
young man to elOPe. He takes him at his
word and marries the girl The story
gives excellent opportunity for most
numerous situations and the fun is at
ali times clean and wholesome. Francis
Jones and William Marble were clever
In their roles and Mrs. Ella Marble and
Miss Margaret Shaw played their parts
we'll. Spanish. scenes and characters
/ with q Cuban hero stirred up some
/ patriotic feeling In the audience.
