French justice has overtaken one
sophisticator OF good. A Partisan swim
die amusing to all but the sickened and
disgusted victims consisted in the man
ufacture of an especially fine quality
of the pate de foie gras SO dear to the
stomach and the pocket of the gour-
mand. Put up in elegant pots or jars,
this supposed delicious preparation of
the liver of the fatted goose sold at
high prices, and was highly esteemed
by epicures, until they learned that the
exquisite delicacy over which they
smacked their lips with so much gus
to was simply a preparation of horse
flesh, and ancient horsefesh at that,
bought from the knackers, boiled,
mixed with fat pork, spiced with nut
meg, ginger and cayenne pepper, lit
tie rum kirsch or eau de vie being
poured over the delectable compound
to give it flavor. Pates of quail, lark,
duck, hare and pheasant were also pre-
pared from the same foundation and
found ready sale among the gour-
mands, whose ire is by no means as
suaged by the fact that the manufac-
turer has been sent to prison for eight
months.

A Methodist missionary in Ceylon
one day received a call from an aged
Buddhist. He was Sc years old and
very decreIit and almost blind. Like
all others Of his religion he looked for
a reincarnation in another body, after
he died, according to his merits, and
this is his list of merits as he told it
to the missionary: II have climbed
Adams Peak twenty-six times; l have
visited the Temple of the Tooth seven
times; have caused several Buddhist
books to be copied and given to the
priests, and l have never killed an
animal, except a few fish that l
caught. So you see l have plenty of
merit, and shall be born well in my
next life" This old man had not done
good to any human being, and his
faith appeared to be mostly faith in
himself Ceremonial religion furnish
es few examples more Characteristic
or more hopeless.

1t is not so difficult now as II was
before the election to have definite
idea of what the chief plank in the
Democratic platform next year will be.
To be sure, Mr.. Bryan has stated in
Colorado that the silver question is
still paramount" and in Nebraska
that the "imperialistic" policy of the
administration is the "overshadowing"
Issue; and in some speeches he has
denounced the trusts as being creatures
of the Republican party: but in Ne
braska the main portion of his speech
es was about imperialism" and since
the election, Nebraska having elected
the fusion ticket, Mr.. Bryan has de-
clared that the campaign there was on
Dational issues, and the result was a
rebuke to the administration In its
Philippine policy, and that if the Dem
ocratic campaign in other states had
been waged more nearly on the same
lines, it would have been more success
full. 1t is easy to see, therefore, that
Mr.. Bryan regards imperialism" as
the main issue, whatever may be said
as to the "paramountcy" of the silver
question. In fact, it looks as II the
campaign of 1900 We're to be more like
that of 1864 than any other in our his
tory.

One of the results of making 'im-
paign has been to bring the Republi-
cans and Silver Republicans together
throughout almost the whole state. In
Lake, Pueblo, Weld, Teller, Jefferson,
Gunnison, Fremont and many other
together again; and generally it will
be found that the Silver Republicans,
when it comes to denouncing the army
of the United States, and demanding
that the flag shall be hauled down in
the Philippines, will not stand by their
recent Democratic allies.

about thirteen thousand votes-prac-
tically the same as the vote for Henry

cans elect their sheriff and the fusion
lists pull through with a small majority
Of the balance of the ticket.
Morgan county shows little change
from last year, the result being mixed,
half the candidates on each ticket be-
ing elected.
Otero county has come back into the
Republican fold. Last year it gave
Thomas 1926, Wolcott 76O. This year
the Republican ticket won with the ex-
captiOn of county commissioner.
In Park county, where the vote was
three to one for Thomas, the Republi-
cans have this year elected the sheriff
and cut the fusion majority down on
the other candidates.
In Pueblo county there was Repub-
lican landslide. The Republican ma
jorities range all the way from 800 to
as, 4,275; Wolcott, 3,447. This year
this is reversed. The Republicans
polled 5,4O6 votes for their candidate
for sheriff and the fusionists polled but
3,1O9 for their candidate The victory
was decisive one in every respect.
Rio Blanco county gave Thomas 325
votes and 90 for Wolcott This year
the Republicans elect portion of their
ticket
San Miguel came to the front nobly.
Last year the vote stood: Thomas
1922; Wolcott, 517. This year the city
of Telluride went Republican by about
I5 majority and the Democratic major
ity in the county was cut down to from
% 20 $50. Telluride alone cast more
Republican votes than the entire coun-
ty last year.
Sedgwick county elected the Republi-
can ticket without opposition.
In Summit county last year the vote
stood: Thomas, 73O; Wolcott, 127 This
year the Republicans succeeded in run
ming their average vote up to about $50
and elected the school superintendent.
The fusion vote fell off materially.
Washington county came to the
front with the usual Republican ma
jorlty.
Weld county failed to come quite up
10 expectations of all the counties In
the state. AS it was. there was a Re
publican gain of several hundred in the
total vote, and the fusion majority was
cut down accordingly
In Yuma county the Republicans sue
ceeded in electing their candidate for
assessor and county commissioner
against an adverse majority of about
80 last year.
Several counties have not been heard
from definitely, which are expected to
give Republican majorities. The show
ing made above is a remarkable one.
The revival of Rcpublicanism in the
state has been beyond all precedent.
1t will, if continued even to lesser de-
gree, turn the state over to the Repub-
iicans next year. Arapahoe county will
nor Ire II Iugg,iru when the next election
rolls around, and will lead the coun-
ties of the state in piling up a Republi-
can majority. Let every Republican
do his duty and there is no doubt as to
the result.
