Editorial Afterthoughts.

Ocm Paul made a great mistake in
going into action against he British
without the help of a regiment of we'll
trained rough RAIDERS.
A vast amount of fun has been pok-
ed at John Bull, but recent events
show that he is taking up the white
mans boerden to the queens taste.
John R. Mclean has been speaking
in the open air so much that his eye
sight is aid to be seriously impaired.
However, he will soon be able to see
his finish.
By the time Spain completes the job
of disclpling her soldiers and sailors
for cowardice, the rising generation of
Americans will have forgotten all
about the Spanish war.
When Congress meets in December
the responsibility of governing the
Filipinos will be shifted from the
weak back of Edward Atkinson to the
sturdy shoulders of Billy Mason.
If the powers interfere for the pur-
pose of avoiding further Institutes in
the Transvaal, it will be an earlier
vindication of The Hague convention
than anybody has been looking for.
National affairs are rapidly getting
around to a point where the Democrat
is party will be anxious to welcome a
panic at home and famine abroad.
The Democratic organization always
thrives best upon the misfortunes and
ills of humanity.

Valiant Foe of Gambling.

Women are not very plentiful in
Ieadville, but they atone in quality for
the lack of quantity.
The bravest person in Leadville is a
woman, who has just accomplished
what no man had the temerity to at
tempt. For months the city has been
run by the gamblers, who We're doing

Officers, from policemen to Judge, were
indebted to the gambling trust and
no one dared to lift up the voice of
complaint. At last Mrs. Margaret Hen
derson, pioneer, determined to rid the
city of the vampires who were draining
its lifeblood.
On account of the strength of the
gambling element in the town, she had
to send to Denver for an attorney to
prepare the complaint and to be ready
to prosecute the violators of the law.
In order to get around the friendly
feeling existing between the gamblers
and most of the city and county off
Gals, novel procedure had to be I'M
dertaken. The gambling resorts We're

prietors of the buildings were placed i'll

ton has been signed to keep the gamb-
ling resorts closed, The gamblers rec

Another New York state man who
has gathered in the millions is Philip
D. Armour. His father was a fairly
well-to-do man; in fact. while many of
our multi-millonaires began life with
the traditional shilling, they one and
all come of good stock.
Young Armour went West in 1851,
when the gold excitement was at it's
height, and spent five years in Califor-
mia as a miner. While his luck was
nothing phenomenal, it was, on the
whole, rather above the average, for
when he drifted back East he had the
in Milwaukee.
In 1863 he formed a partnership with
John Plankinton and established his
first slaughter house. There were event
ually five of the Armour brothers asso-
ciated with him in the various branches
of the business, which, 10 years after
the start was made, was moved to Chi
CaSO.
