The charge was plea for the up

while those who heard 1t say that it
was an inspiration delivered under

DEWEY is CON-
ING HOME.

Admiral Dewey will in course of
a few weeks, be home. He will re-
turn by the way of the Suez canal
and will very likely stop at Eng
land. If he does, England will
give him almost as cordial a re-
ception as will the United States.
Dewey is easily the greatest hero Of
the Spanish-American war. He, it
was that demonstrated to the world
that the Americans could fight,
and that they had no superiors on
the water. Dewey and Schley are
the heroes of the naval part of this
war. With boldness unequeled
by no one, he entered the harbor OF
Manila, destroying an intire fleet
without any serious loss, was some
thing unheard of at that time.
Schley did equally as we'll but
Dewey's being the first makes him
the great hero of great war. The
idea of some trying to place Samp-
son along with Dewey and Schley
is preposterous. Sampson and
Shafter are about on parallel.

AN OPEN LETTER
Blair Burwelll Explains To
The Public.

Representative Burwell is out
with two column article in the
Wage Garner explaining his action
in regard to the Montezuma county
artesian we'll bill. Now if Mr..
Burwell has one grain of sense he
knows that when the appropriation
for this was transferred to the
general fund that it meant "no ap-
propriation." IfMr. Burwell does
not know this he is not capable
of representing Colorado in any
thing. Then Mr.. Burwell brings
in William 9. Smith to substanti-
ate him. Any person that has to
use Speaker Smith to prove his
character or action is pretty far
gone, for a more desreputable
person is seldom found. They say
"two negatives make an affirma-
tive" but the sayings of these two
do not prove anything. Below is a
piece from the Durango Democrat.
Representative Burwell utilizes
part of the Wage Garner this week
in explaining the Montezuma
county artisan well bill, or the de-
feat Of the appropriation for same.
The writer is not familiar with the
ups and downs of the measure in the
House, but we certainly justify Mr..
Short in moving to strike out the
enacting clause after appropriation
for the same was transferred from
internal improvement to general
fund, as Mr.. Short evidently had
no desire to forever cripple the
chances for an appropriation. 1t
is well known fact that the ma
jority in the lower house did as
they pleased with measures for i'm
provement, and the members turned
down, like Mr.. Short, were those
not in sympathy with the COM
bine, its methods or its ways.
Mr.. Burwell does not help his
side of the case by utilizing Speaker
Smith as reference, as it is our
| honest belief as well as the belief
of others, that no more crooked,
disreputable and plant tool than
William G. Smith eyer sat in a
Legislative body. The Democrat
approves Mr. Shorts act in striking
out the enacting cla,ise when ap-
preparation rested on general fund,
and as to the feeling of Justice that
led such fair minded men as Bill.
