The breach in the Grove-Avenue Baptist

results Of the recent development of fac
lions in the church are being seen now.
At a meeting of the church Monday night
forty-four members asked for and re-
ceived their letters of dismissal. Sixteen
had already done so. a member of the
church said yesterday that about twenty
or twenty-five more would in a short
while. This will make upwards of
eighty in all. There is scarcely any

The Denver Times. in asking
that the next republican national
convention be held at Denver, is
seeking only what is just and right
to the west. Many hundreds of
people would thereby be given an
opportunity to see something OF
what the west is, and mingling
of eastern and western republicans
would most certainly result in un-
told benefits to that party. The
request is a reasonable one and
ought to be granted.

THE CONSULAR SERVICE.

In recent issue of La Revue
Diplomatique of France, appeared
the following complimentary edi-
torial.
The Americans are practical
men and their instinct for business
is marvellous. Nothing is more
characteristic in this respect than
the organization of their consular
corps. The consular service of
the United States is a remarkable
instrument of expansion. 1t is
unique, and resem bles none other.
Its duty is that of sort of bureau
of information at the expense of
the state. 1t is recruited princi-
pally from journalists, who carry
into their official careers the
trained instincts of observation
and the quick grasp of passing
events which belong to their
former profession

FUSION A FAILURE.

Already the baneful results of
legislating for personal advantage
to the detriment of measures of
vital Importance TO the state, are
beginning to manifest themselves.
The first part of the session OF
Twelfth General Assembly was
occupied in election contests,
(Which by the way cost the state
5000 caucasing for pet candi-
dates for positions, lobbying in
the interests of influential friends
to pay political debts to the exclu-
sion of state benefits, petty quar-
res and long debates on silly
measures, all to square the legis-
lators with their steerers.
This sort of thing delayed the
important work of the Assembly
until the last possible moment,
when in the rush and hurry mis-
takes were made. Ono of the
gravest of these perhaps was that
made by the enrolling clerk on
the bill intending to appropriate
$145, 900 for the maintenance of
the state penitentiary. While the
governor and others hold that the
intent of the measure is evident,
yet there is considerable doubt on
the question. AS matter of f ,ct
$l45 would hardly support the
state prison for year, and if the
present law fails to stand, either n
special session of the Legislature
must be called to enact new law,
or Warden Hoyt must shut up
shop and turn out the .convicts.
The members of the mongrel
Twelfth will have many things to
answer for to their constituents.
and not the least of these will be
what they left undone while
putting in their time at 81 per.
These conditions are obviously
due in great measure TO the mix
up occasioned by fusion. That
fusion is failure has been evi.
denced so often that the time is
no, far distant when political CON
tests will again be between only
the two old parties, The best In
terests of the state will be sub
served only when such condition
prevails. Nerily, "it is cousu-
nation devoutly to be wished"

An Active Life ended.

DIED Monday morning, April
II, 1899, w. b. White, at the adj
vanced age of e6 years.
Mr.. White was the father of
Hon. Fl, l.. White of this city, and
w. ID. White of Florence, and was
known throughout the state as an
energetic and enterprising man.
He was also the father of Mrs.
Josephine +. Garwood of Ipava,
Illinois, and Emma johnson of
Bloomington, Illinois. The family
was gathered the bedside when the
end came.
w. B. White was native of
Pennsylvania, where he was born
on the 10th day of April, 1913.
In 1880 he was married to Miss
Sabina ROLAND, who has been his
constant companion since, she sur
viving him. They celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary in
Canon City nine years ago, when
they were surrounded by host of
friends from all parts of the state.
From Pennsylvania Mr.. White re-
moved to Illinois and thence to
Colorado in 1859. His entire life
was one of activity Not until six
weeks ago did he lay aside the
ornerous duties of business. He
entered the mercantile field at an
early day in Denver and was
pioneer in California gulch before
it became Leadville. His resi-
dence in Canon City covered a
total OF twenty years, during which
period he was prominently identi-
fed with almost every important
enterprise which sprung up.
He was the instigator and a
prime factor in the building of
the Canon City and Cripple Greek
toll road which served to make
Canon the transfer point for a
large part of the Cripple Greek
traffic until the advent of the f.
d @. G. railroad and still answers
the purpose of a first-class wagon
