Colorado's Patriotic Governor.

The Populist governor Of Colorado
threatens to institute what would GER
tainly be an interesting legal proceed
the president and secretary of war
that the Colorado volunteers now SEW
ing in the Philippines be discharged
and sent home. He argued that they
enlisted only for the war against
Spain, and that inasmuch as the war
against Spain is now officially at al
end the United States has no right
to keep single Colorado volunteer IN
service. The Populist governor of Col .
orado would have had the volunteer
arms and start for home the moment
they learned that the ratifications of
the treaty of peace with Spain had
been exchanged at Washington, no
matter how many Filipino insurgents
were menacing their position or what
the consequences of desertion would
be upon the remainder of the Amer
lean battle line.
The president and secretary of war
evidently did not take kindly to the
patriotic demands of the Populist gov
ernor of Colorado: at all events they
have returned no answer and this un-
terrified executive threatens, if they
don. soon pay proper respect to his
Office. TO take the subject into the
courts. AS a Populist he is of course
opposed to government by injunc-
ton" but nevertheless, unless he is
speedily mollified he will ask the United
States Supreme court for an iniunc-
tion restraining the president and Sec
retary Of war from further use of the
Colorado volunteers, and then we car
have "A real, good chance for some
first class Interpretation of the Con.
stitution. For educational purposes II
is to be hoped that the Populist COVER
nor of Colorado will execute his threat

The returned sailors who fought un-
der Admiral Dewey are unanimous in
the opinion that the admiral could
not be induced under any circumstan-
ceg to accept a nomiration for the
presidency. They are probably right.
Dewey realizes better than any one
else that he now occupies unique
position as a naval commander in his
tory and does not propose to have his
bright escutcheon become a target for
the missiles of abuse that would be
directed at a presidential candidate.

The new municipal administration of
Macomb, ILL.,. is in the throes of a re-
form movement. The sale of Sun
day papers has been stopped and drug
store prescriptions must hereafter be
filled on Saturday night. Already the
efforts of the new mayor to enforce
the laws are meeting with much op-
position and the ambitious executive
has troubles of his own. The Ma
comb case will doubtless be "A repetition
Of the old, old story and the mayor

subject to be discussed in a vein of

fellow who is largely in the minority
but when it begins to enforce self
denial upon some of the leading citi-
zens reform suddenly becomes the un-
popular tyranny of crank official.

\ four days conference of repre-
sentative students of economic and So
cial problems is to be held in Chicago
sometime during the sumiuYr f,r the
purpose OF studying the subject OF
truts. "The idea" say the Times
Herald, will be simply - get lighS
on the matter; to learn what a trus,
really is; to find out how IL affects
labor; how it affects prices of goods,
and whether 1t is beneficial or ini ir-
ious to the industrial fabric of this
country" The intention is 20 devote
one day to railroad combinations, one
to labor organizations, one to indus
trial combinations, and one to 'eme-
dies and methods of procedure. One
of the most important questions to be
discussed will be that involving the
jurisdiction of the various states and
the federal government in the disposi-
tion of trusts. The courts have ! eld
both ways, and if light is needed On
any point the investigators of the
trust say it is on this one. For this
reason the governors and attorneys gen.
eral of all states will be asked to give
their views Leading corporation
lawyers and professors Of political
economy are also expected. The pro-
ceedings of such conference shoul |
| be both interesting and inst .'ucSiVe.

How much did It cost?
The Peoples Gas Light and Coke

Merchants and clerks,

High and low,
All have been raised and the daily
press has been bounding the Assessors
into seeking It to every poor man In the
community.
but not one word has been uttered
or one protest recorded against the
crime OF the year-the lowering Of the
taxes of the notorious Gas Trust.
The Gas Trust does as 1t pleases.
1t tears up the public streets just
after the taxpayers have been mulcted
to pave them, and 1t Is not charged u
dollar.
1t charges the city for $50 street
lamps which are never lighted, and
nothing Is said.
1t violates the antitrust law ana It
Is unheeded.
It charges the people 200 per cent.
more than 1t ought to for gus, ana they
have no remedy.
And now It shows the new Revenue
Law to be q farce, for 1t bids open de-
Aance to II, by openly securing reduc.
ton Of It's taxes, while everyone else
Is raised.

Gas Light and Coke Company pub.

gave the net assets of the Peoples Gas
Light aud Coke Company at $0S,5S5,.

Yet the Assessors found only $780,
900 worth Of property belonging to 1t.
The president of the Peoples Gas
Light and Coke Company at Its last
annual meeting, proudly announced
that the net earnings Of the Peoples
Gas Light and Coke Company, over
and above all expenses, for 1893
amounted to $2,OOO,OOO.

year, and which has $0S. 5S5, 500 worth
of assets, according to the official state
ments Of Its Offices, has only 81, 100 O0(
to tax, according to the Assessors!
Shame upon such Assessors!
They are disgrace to the community
and deserve cOndign punishment ut thu
hands Of an outraged people.
Just Assessors, fOrsOOth!
They make the Lehman estate, which
Is worth $2,OOO,OOO, pay as much taxes
as this scoundrelly trust, which II

years and some time will be required to
