Durango did not realize the boom an
ticipated through the opening OF the Ute
reservation. In every dispatch from
the inlet to that "land of promise" there
is running through, vein Of disappoint-
ment. Durango will, however, benefit in
the long run. 1t is probably better that
the "sooner" element was not present in
large numbers. The proviso of settle
ment on homesteads, OF the payment OF
so much money at time of filiLg, will in
sure a better element of settlers. 1t has
been the history of all new countries
that the "sooner" element brings little
prosperity aud little trade in it's wake
and must depart from the promised
land" before the tiller of the soil ap-

The San Juan country is to be great
sufferer through the eight hour labor
limit 1t is contended that the camps
of the San Juan are low grade camps,
that only through ten hours labor can
they be made to pay. A good wage is
paid for days labor, but mine opera
tors contend that with an eight hour
day they will be compelled to suspend
operations. The eight hour law will en-
tail an expense of sixty cents extra to
each man; this they say they cannot
stand. There is gloom in the San Juan.
The relations OF the men and their en-
ployers have been agreeable for years.
If the men insist upon the statutory
limitations for a days labor, it will cause
a depressed period in the mines through
out that section The men have been
satisfied with their wages and hours
The case rests with them. They are
sufficiently posted in the productiveness
of the big properties to know how much
additional expense can be paid for oper-
alton. 1t is no affair OF ours with which
to interfere, but it is matter of vital
i'm portance to the whole San Juan min
ing district which for years has been
prosperous and our hope is Of an AMIGA

Candidate Goebel and the Goebel Elec-
ton Law in Kentucky.

It Is a noteworthy circumstance that the
author OF the new Democratic Returning
Board system established in Kentucky by
the astounding Election law Of 1898, and
the Democratic candidate for Governor OF
Kentucky in 1890, are one and the same
person. The Goebel law provides partisan
machinery for counting in WILLIAM Coz
BEL himself.
The peculiarites OF the Election bill in
troduced at Frankfort last year by Mr..
GoEBEL when State Senator, and passed
by both branches Of the Democratic Legis-
lature over the Republican Governors veto,
are such as to make 1t a dangerous agent
OF force and fraud.
The law creates a State Board OF Elec-
tions, chosen by the Legislature and hold
ing office for four years. II the Legisla-
ture Is Democratic, the members of the
Board for the four years may all be Demo-
Gratis. This partisan body is absolute
master OF the electoral machinery and OF
the returns. 1t appoints annually three
Commissioners Of Elections in each OF the
one hundred and seventeen counties OF the
State these, again, may all be Of tho same
party; and the State Board has power to
remove percmptorily and without showing
cause any member OF any county board
at any time.
The county board in its turn selects from
the two leading parties the officers immc-
diately in charge OF the balloting It counts
the votes and sends its certificates Of cleo
tion to the State Board. When the returns
are all in, or on the fourth Monday after
election whether they are all in or not, the
State Board issues duplicate certificates OF
the election Of those having the highest
number OF votes, one certificate being re-
tanned in the office of the Secretary OF State
and the other going by mail to tho person
elected. In case OF tie, the State Board
decides the election by lot, according to any
plan it may select.
Under this system, simple and direct
almost to automatism, there can DO no
election contests, for there Is no going
behind the returns OF the county boards
and the county boards are the creatures OF
partisan State Board. intrenched for four
| years with practically unlimited power
over the electoral machinery.

The State of Things in Belgium.

When the Belgian Chamber OF Deputies
reassembes tomorrow we shall see whether
the Ultramontane Ministry, headed by Mr..
VANDENPEEREBooM, has been prevailed
upon by King LEOPOLD II. to avert popu-
lar uprising by withdrawing the pending
electoral bill or by accepting such amend
ments as will nullify it practically. II the
Premier persists in keeping the bill substan-
TALLY unchanged and in pressing it through
the Chamber, where he possesses large
majority, we SHALL no doubt, witness such
disturbances as convulsed Belgium in 1857
and 1913, disturbances the moro ominous
because neither the civic guard nor por-
ton OF the regular army can be now trusted
to put down the rioters
The cause of the present trouble Is the
determination Of the Clerical party, now in
Office but dissatisfied with the electoral
system established in 1898, to take advan-
tage Of it's temporary large majority in tho
Chamber OF Deputies in order to fortify it
self impregnably against loss OF power
This the bill now pending attempts toaccom-
plish in two ways: First, by weakening the
Minstry's opponents in theirurhan strong
holds, and, secondly, by preventing them
from combining at the ballot box. To this
end the Ministerial measure provides for
minority representation in tho six cities
returning more than three Deputies apiece,
while excluding it in all the rest Of the
country; and also abolishes tho second
balloting to which recourse Is made in Bel
GUM as in Franco, when no candidate OBJ
tains n majority of tho votes pollcd in the
first instance.
These proposals are denounced by the
Ministrys opponents as fagrantly unjust,
because when they arc united they may
reasonably hope to carry tho six cities
mentioned, and it is unfair, they say, to
neutralize the preponderanco thus locally
gained by giving representation to the
Catholic minorities in those centres Of
urban population, while denying such repre-
sentation to the anti-Clorical minortics in
thc smaller towns and in the rural dist riots.
They also contend that an abolition OF the
second balloting will be especially dctrimeu-
tai to their interests, because, whilo tho
Clcricals can be trusted to vote solidly at
the first test, tho Socialists, Radicals and
Liberals are accustomed to begin by putting
forward candidates cmbodying their re-
spective views. but. at the second ballotng,
to give their united support to that one OF
the anti-Clerical nominees who had shown
the most strength at the polls.
There Is no doubt that the onc-ballot sys.
tenn works well enough in countries where
ns rule, the voters are divided into two
great parties but tho two-ballot system
seems moro equitable where, in countries
like France, Italy Germany and Belgium
there are many Parliamentary groups. The
anti lericals. however. could manage tc
