backed into tree or run sideways to

can be worked in among the outer

and the navy department acquiesced
to the popular demand. 1t was some
time after this that it was found that
in order to keep afloat the Constitu-
ton at all the ship would have to be re-
built. Accordingly she was locked at
Charlestown, in the first dry dock
erected in the country, and rebuilt on
her own lines. Only the keel and keel
son of the old ship remained.
The commandant of the navy yard
was then Commodore Elliot, and ardent
federalist and a great admirer of Jack
son. In the rebuilding, therefore, the
former figurehead of the Constitution,
one of an alIegorical character, was re-
placed by one modelled in likeness to
President Jackson. This was done in
spite of a vehement protest by Commo-
dore Hull, who had charge of the un-
docking, but who was powerless before
the approval of the change by Mahlon
Dickinson, secretary of the navy, and
as good federalist, if not a better,
than Elliot.
As soon, however, as the public knew
of the change, which was as soon as the
new Constitution was launched in 1884,
there was almost as loud a protest as
that in 1880 upon the report of the in

FLORENCE is PROGRESSIVE.

Under the above caption the
Denver News this morning comes
out with word of praise for the
Refner's special edition and takes
occasion to emphasize the active
growth, development and prosperity
of our city. The following is para
graph from the editorial;
an 1872 Hon. j. A. McCandless
plated a townsite of forty acres in
the Arkansas valley, between Pu-
eblo and Canon City, and gave it
the name of Florence. The Rio
Grande railway soon after reached
ond later the Santa Fe,
and it became station on their
lines. Surrounded by a fine agri-
cultural and horticultural region,
and adjacent to the great Fremont
county coal fields, whose output
was greatly increased by the con
struction of the railroads, it be-
came pleasant, thriving village.
Then oil was discovered in the
immediate vicinity of the town,
and an impetus to its growth was
given. Then came the discovery
and opening of the Cripple Creek
mines, the construction of the
Florence and Cripple Creek rail
rond, the erection of great reduc-
tion works and Florence at once
became one of the busiest. most
important and most prosperous of
Colorado points. Almost with a
single bound it ceased to be a vii
lage and became city, full of
promise and enterprise, and with
no limits to its growth. Today it
takes rank as leading and infu-
ential commercial and mining
center.

irrigation shall vest in the user,

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS

In reviewing the report of the
proceedings of the National Irri-
CATION congress, which recently
held meeting in Missoula, Mon
tana, it would appear that the eff
forts of the organization cannot
but prove effective, to great ex-
tent, in bringing about much
needed Legislation. Hitherto it
has been argued by the opponents
of arid land reclamation that the
West is not united on the question
and therefore it would be useless
to ask the East for assistance.
But the records of that meeting
prove the theory diametrically op-
posite to the actual facts.
Ex-Governor McCoyd, of Arizo-
ma, opposed state ownership as
being liable to bring about abuses.
but advocated warmly national
system of irrigation. He believes
that when once the East can be
brought to realize the real signifi-
canoe of this reclamation of a vast
EN- pire of measureless possibilities,
the work would practically be ccm-
plefed.
Following is that part of the
resolutions adopted by the con-
gress, relating to federal storage
reservoirs. arid land reclamation
and irrigation laws:

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES
Otherwise Must Pay Taxes the
Same as Any Other

ne Denver University, Wnlcn
is legally known as the Colorado
seminary, lost an important suit in
Judge Palmer's court yesterday,
says the Denver Post. The judge
handed down decision of far
reaching effect on the taxation of
educational institutions. A result
is that the university will have
to pay taxes hereafter on S200,000
in realty and back taxes to the
amount of $4,000.
The university contended that
it could not be taxed on certain
real estate it owns which is not
used for educational purposes, and
the assessor, the commissioners
and the county attorney held other
wise and proceeded to exact the
tax The courts were appealed to
and Attorney Harrington for the
county brought the case to trial
last week.
Judge Palmer said; at is our
duty to encourage educational in
stitutions for the moral and intel
lectual good of the community
This institution has been in exist
ence for thirty-fve years and has
had long struggle. 1t ought to
be encouraged, but | cannot con-
scientiously absolve it from paying
taxes on property not used for ac-
tuaf educational purposes. In this
| am controlled by the decisions of
the supreme court as reported in
Colorado II. find the university
is exempt from taxes only on such
property as it actually uses. 1t
rents Market street house to a
grocer, and possesses large tracts
of land which it does not use, but
holds for additional values and it
must pay taxes on these. | feel
that my hands are tied in this
matter"
The judge held these parcels to
be exempt from taxes: Buildings
of the theological school, college
of liberal arts, observatory, college
campus, dormitories. Professors
houses are not exempt, even when
deduction is made in their sala-
ries for house rent. He held the
Haish building, at Fourteenth and
Arapahoe streets, to be exempt
from taxes except for the year
lS94-5, when it was used as a hotel,
and the Conservatory of Music
building except for the year 1899.
All the vacant lots owned near
University Park and real estate in
East Denver, except that enumer-
ated, he held to be taxable.
County Attorney Harrington
said that the decision was accepta-
bic to the county, but Attorney
Doud, for the university, declared
he will carry the case to the United
States supreme court.
Other institutions are affected
by the decision-the Cathedral
Chapter of ST. John and Sacred
Heart college and Assessor Ames
says it means that 100000 in
real estate will be added to the as
sessment rolls of the county. The
injunction restraining the collec-
ton of the taxes was dissolved.

Many are the expressions of aston.


s,hment that none of the great powers,
OF Europe protest against the war be-
ing waged by the English government
against the Beers of South Africa. A
moments reflection by any observant
student of history will make the rea-
son apparent. All the great powers
of Europe and the east assume that
they rule by divine right; that the as
sumption that the people, the COM
mon clod hoppers, have any rights
which these divinely chosen rulers
should respect is an absurdity, only
maintained by the deluded people who
believe the doctrine of the American
declaration of independence. The
dutch Beers of South Africa are be-
levers in the declarations of that in
strument, and based their government
upon its principles, in short establish
ed government republican i'm form.
OF course none of the great powers of
Europe desire the perpetuation of
any governments on the eastern con-
tlnent that questions the divine right
to rule of kings and emperors. With
the exception of Switzerland, the
dutch republic of the Beers, and semi
republican France, the entire eastern
continent is governed by those who
have no lawful authority where gov
ernments are based upon the consent
of the governed.

1onefellow's Second wooinr.

Lonefellow's Second Wooing,
The following romantic account of
the inspiration of Hyperion is clipped
from recent issue of the Detroit Free
Press:
About the year 1887, Longfellow, in
making a tour of Europe, selected
Heidelberg for winter residence.
There his wife died. Some time after
ward there came to Heidelberg a
young lady of considerable attractions.
In the course Of time the poet became
attached to the beautiful girl of 16,
but his advances met with no response
and he returned to America. The girl.
who was also an American, returned
home shortly after. Their residences,
1t happened, were contiguous, and the
poet availed himself of this In prose-
cutting his attentions, which he did
with no better success.
Unlike Petrarch, who laid siege to
the heart of his sweetheart through the
medium of sonnets, Longfellow resolv.
ed to write book which would
achieve the double object of gaining
fame and at the same time her affec-
tons. Hyperion" was the result. His
labor and his constancy were not with
out their reward; the girl gave him her
heart as well as her hand and after
ward they resided in Cambridge, in
the house which Washington made his
headquarters while in command of this
