Greed vs.. Intellectual Progress.

When greediness has gained
mastery of the mind of a person,
and has thereby made of him an
abject slave, pitable is his condition,
for as a general thing, he cannot
comprehend the real state of his
existence. With avidity and sor-
did sense of pleasure he labors for
his master, completely ignoring the
fountains of his better self, which
at last dry up. The sentiments
that are inspirations to nobler
things become distasteful, and are
gradually forced out of his nature
by the stern hand of his master.
Honor, love and friendship assume
the character of mere merchandise
to him, when by parting with them
he can increase and feed the fires
of avarice. All the sense of the
beautiful that he may possess must
be sacrificed, for the eye must not
see anything fair, except the dull
glitter of gold; no sensation must
be permitted to swell up In his
breast except knowledge of in.
creasing wealth. Sympathy for a
fellow being can no more thrive in
the heart of a miser than Il beauti-
full flower can thrive in the recess
of dark pit What does he care
for the distress of any one but
himself? A soulless and fierce
passion takes full possession of his
degraded being, congealing the
milk of human kindness, plucliing
all that is good and noble from the
tree of life, whitening every flower
in natures pathway and scattering
dishonor and faded ambition over
the ashes of the wreck of all that
were once favorable opportunities
for a higher and better existence.
Too many people utilize their
every effort to increase their stock
of worlds goods, while their in
tellectual progress is marked with
neglect.

sive litigation, which is almost
certain to result should he find q
valuable ore body Mining and
Scientific Press.
The La Plate lode, formerly
known as the Bonanza, situate on
the divide between the waters of
the Gunnison and the Grand, at
the head of Paradise gulch, has
been purchased from j. O. Jordan
by Messrs. G.. w. and B. f. Melton
aud w. B. Roddan for a reasonable
consideration, the entire deal hav-
ing been completed last Monday,
The vein on this property is about
two and one-half feet wide, and
contains cource galena of a good
value in lead and silver. There
are over two hundred tons of ore
on the dump, one hundred of which
will do to ship at good profit.
The ore is easily mined, and is
within seven miles of the railroad

have every reason to believe they
have made paying Investment.
Just as soon as possible provisions
will be moved up and work of ore

Governor Thomas yesterday Ella
borated upon his first suggestions
concerning trusts and sent a
message to the legislature devoted
especially to this end-of- -the-century
fad among promoters. Probably
the thing which urged him to send
in his message at this time was the
proposed smelter trust forming,
or alleged to be forming in this
state, taking in practically all the
smelters. The evil of this will be
two-fold-it will throw large mum
Der of men out of employment and
in due time is likely to cause a
good-sized increase in the price of
treating ores. This will be double
blow to the states greatest industry.
The state needs the employment of
every man who can possibly be set
at work: and the mine owners ought
not to be burdened with heavier
charge for smelling their ores than
they have. A very slight increase
will cause number of mines which
are now working and making ex
penses, and perhaps slight profit,
to become unworkable, because the
expense of treating the ores will be
too great. colorado Springs Tele-

County Bond Cases.

The clerk of the United States
supreme court confirms the report
of the decision in the Lake county
and Gunnison county bond cases
sent by the News correspondent.
The reports sent to the Denver
Republican and the Times We're
grossly erroneous. The News
account was exactly right.
The two cases were those of f..
H. Rollins ct al. versus the county
of Gunnison, and Dudley versus
the county of Lake. The first
case involved the validity Of $780,
OO0 of the bonds and coupons of
Gunnison county, and the latter
related to the bonds of Lake coun-
ty. In the Gunnison county case
the court held that the recital on
the face of the bonds estopped the
county to deny their validity. The
bonds, therefore, are legal and
must be paid. In the Lake county
case the court simply held that
the suit was not waged by the real
owner of the coupons, therefore,
upon that fact having been estab-
lished In the trial, it became the
duty of the court to dismiss the
case. The bonds of Gunnison
county must be paid; the validity
of the bonds of Lake county re-
mains to be again litigated. -

Our Exchange Table.

Country journalism is the only
personal journalism left, writes an
editor. The country newspaper is
personal organ. 1t represents its
editor. IT is the living expression
of his personality. 1t is the en-
bodiment of his ideas and the
measure of his intellectually. He
can make it as strong or as weak as
be chooses. He can imbue it with
life, or let it drag, a mere derelict
on the ocean of endeavor. He can
succeed or fail, and upon his OWL
personal efforts depend the degree
OF success and the measure of his
purpose
The entrance of many newspaper
men into public Office is a good
thing, if not for them, for their
fellow citizens. 1t is pity that
more editors aid publishers cannot
afford to take hand in legislation.
They could certainly be depended
upon to work at least one much
needed reform-they would simpli.
fly and clarity the language of laws.
The trained newspaper man hates
yerbiage. His expressions are
plain, his sentences are brief. AS
legislator, his influence is ON the
side of such official language as the
busy, workaday payer of taxes can
understand. incorporation.
The location of numerous claims
by single individuals in any one
district is subject for legisla ton.
In a single district in San Diego
county, California, one man had
located 100 claims. These requi-
red by law the performance of
$4,000 in labor or other improve
ments annually, but the claim hol-
der did not spend S16O on the
entire lot, still he could and did
keep other men who were willing
to work from locating any of his
claims. This wholesale location of
mineral ground should not be per-
mitted. OF course the new ninety
day law is calculated to make this
impossible, but most men prefer
not to undertake the location of a
piece of of ground in the face of an
adverse claim and possibly expen-

Stocks are still booming, with an
occasional slump. The tendency
is decidedly towards speculation.
The quantity of idle money in the
country tempts people to take
chances, which the majority will
doubtless pay well for. Legitimate
mining is rs safe and permanent
us any other business, but a large
portion of the stocks on the market
are practically worthless, and those
who deal in them without thorough
investigation will probably pay
dearly for their experience.

Admiral Dewey has requested
the navy department toimmediately
send the battleship Oregon to Ma
Mia 'for political reasons" 1t is
very certain that Dewey would not
have made the request unless there
were reasonable grounds for it, and
the development of those grounds
will be awaited with much interest
and some apprehension. Battle
ships are not required to campaign
against the insurgent forces on
land. and the Admiral's laconic
request for the Oregon suggests
the possibility of complications
with some foreign nation against
which Dewey's present force would
be indequate to successfully cope.

All signs at the present time
point to Il people absolutely domi-
mated and governed by combina-
tions Of capital. Only few more
commodities are left for these
voracious monsters to acquire and
when those are absorbed, the
strange and unparalleled spectacle
will be presented to the world of a
nation, once boosted as the cradle
of liberty, utterly dominated by a
few rich men. There is in all his
tory no such example as the United
States is destined to present within
a year or two, unless change
soon occurs. The amount of wealth
already combined and organized
is almost beyond the power OF
comprehension to grasp. Free
competition is even now restricted
to a considerable extent, and in a
few months there Will De Dut one
form of competition left-the strife
among those who work for positions
in the service of the trusts. The
right to hold free opinions, the
right to vote according to individual
judgment, in short, all freedom, as
the American citizen has under
stood the term, is destined to pass
from the people in the overshadow-
ing power of combined capital
This appalling disaster is bound to
come if the American people per-
mil the final consummation of the
plans of the money kings,
