There il no state in the union that
has more deserving class Of state pap
ers than Colorado. Tho past year has
shown that the editors and thought
moulders Of the state are prospering to
q greater extent than ever they did BE-
fore. The people of the towns and cit
les of the state are apt to fail to give the
editors and their papers tho credit they
deserve. Az rule the country publish
er does more in proportion for his sect
tion the section that heTrepresents
than the metropolitan paper does for tho
city and state. The people OF the towns
in which these papers are printed are
not familiar with newspaper
business and do not realize that their
local editor in toiling week In and week

he is located, 10 really furnishing the ed
itorial thought for the metropolitan

HOBsONlZED.

The Astor battery, the famous Now
York organization which gained repu-
tation at Manila in the famous charge
in the trenches when the Colorado boys
we're with them, and who had at the
time nothing as weapons, except revol-
volvers, passed through this city laet
night on their way home from the Phili-
ppines.
A case OF being Hobsonized. was per-
petrsted upon the members Of tho bat
terry in this city, on the arrival OF the
Rio Grande Western last night. But OF
course the Hobsonizing was not done
by the Grand junction young ladies. 1t
happened that the Dorothy Morton
theatrical company was on the same
train as the boys from Manila and on
the way across the desert from Salt
Lake city the boys and the handsome
young women Of the company got on
pretty good terms. When the train ar
rived in the city, the time for separation
had come. The battery was scheduled
to 60 over tho Rio Grande ard the the
atrical company ever the Midland to its
destination, at some point in the state.
Anticipation Of the separation from
their delightful companions had made
the soldier boys sad long ere they had
arrived in this city. However, they
were not to bid adieu to their boys in
blue until they had Hobsonized them
and such an exhibition Of kissing as was
seen on the platform Of the Union do
pot last night, made every witness OF
the farwell OF the soldier boys wish that
they were part Of the battery. Old
fellows present pursed up their lips, like
as il they had been drawn by persim-
mon, in witnessing the osculatory per-
formance and there were.. others to
whom the gay time had ny the com
pany and the battery boys reminded
them of old times when they were boys
together.
The members Of the battery compris-
ed as jolly lot Of young mon as ever
returned from the field of battle. They
we're all anxious to reach homo and
share in the reception which awaited
them on their arrival in the empire
state.

THE PONY EXPRESS

Oat West.

In a little while all interest was
taken up in stretching our necks
and watching for the pony rider--the
feet messenger who sped across the
continent from st. Joe 10 Sacramento,
carrying letters 1900 miles in eight
days! Think Of that for perishable
horse and human flesh and blood to
dol
The pony rider was usually little
bit Of man, brimful of spirit and en-
durance. No matter what time of the
day or night his watch came on and no
matter whether il was winter or sum-
mer, raining showing. hailing or sleet-
ing, OF whether his heat was level

gions, or regions that swarmed with
hostile Indians, he mast be always
ready to leap into the saddle and be
off like the wind. There was no idling
time for pony rider on duty. He
rode so miles without stopping, by day
light, moonlight, starlight or through
the bIackness Of darkness just as 1t
happened. He rode splendid horse
that was born for racer and fed
and lodged like a gentleman; kept
him at his utmost speed for ten miles
and then. as he came crashing DIP to
the station where stood two men hold
ing fast fresh impatient steed, the
transfer of rider and mailbag was
made in the twinkling Of an eye, and
away few the eager pair and were out

The stage coach travelled about 100

the night, and so we heard only a
whizz and hail, and the swift phan-
tom of the desert was gone before we
could get our heads out of the win
dows. But now we were expecting
one along every moment, and would
see him in broad daylight. Presently
the driver exclaims:
Here he comes"
Every neck is stretched further and
every eye is strained wider. Away
across the endless dead level of the
prairie black speck appears against
the sky and it is plain that it moves.
Well, should think so! In second

rising and falling. rising and falling

more and more sharply defined-near-

THEORY OF TAXATION.

The absorbing topic of discus
sion in Vinita now is taxation.
The assessor is around getting a
list of taxable property and some
curious and funny propositions are
met with, and some wild ideas are
advanced as to what property is
taxable and whas exempt.
The subject Of taxation is as old
as human governments, and the
first man ever born of earthly pa
rents killed his brother in row
over the acceptableness of his off
ering or tax. England lost her
American colonies on account of
the imposition Of tax on
tea Spain has just given up her
possessions in the West Indies
and the Philippine Archipelago
as a result of exhorbitant and op-
pressive taxation.
The theory of taxation under a
republican form of government,
such as Vinita now enjoys, is that
everybody contribute to the sup
port of the city, equally in proper
ton to the amount of property
possessed. As no one owns any
land in the Cherokee nation, town
lots are not properly taxable, but
with this exception all property is
subject to taxation. Webster de-
fines property as being IAN estate,
whether in lands, goods or
money" Anything that has val
ne is property and therefore tax
able.
The value of property to be
given in to the assessor must not
be a fictitious value. The market
value Of property is not what it
would bring at forced sale, but
what it would bring in the open
maat of trade. The intention
Of the. law is to collect certain
per cent Of tribute for the support
Of the state off all the property
properly taxable. The law does
not contemplate the assessment of
property at less than its true val
vue, and such assessment is in vio-
lation Of both the spirit and the
letter of the law.

Why rlen Don't Marry.

The extrayagant theory Of the
young people as to the necessity for
keeping up a certain style is the rea-
son why so many Of them put off
marriage year after year, and flnally
drift into the irremediable state of
celibacy. Girls without fortunes are
supported in idleness and luxury by
oVer-indulgebt parents and expected
to be thus cared for after marriage.
The annual cost of such a girls
maintainance Is more than the income
of young man, unless he be excep-
tionably fortunate. Unless they are
prepared to give a fortune with a
daughter when she msrrles, they

an aide post haste to BacOlOr, where
General Mascardo was, demanding
reiniorcements. Mascardo's reply
was that he would take orders from
no one except AguinaldO.
"This defiance so infuriated Luna

Shouts Of hatred and defiance were
heard on both sides. Outside the

Of staff, Colonel Arguelas, to make
peace at all hazards. The soldiers

There was an angry conference

AguinaldO was drawn into it. With

begged Luna aud MascardO not tt

"His entreatics prevailed for the time
