OUT ON A BUSINESS TRIP.

count Of the occurrence is to the effect
that while Judge Riley was American
consul at Zanzibar, on the east coast
Of Africa, the queen Of Zanzibar was In
the habit of bathing in the ocean, imme-
diately in front Of the American con-
sulate.
Ignoring the repeated warnings OF
Judge Riley, the dusky queen persisted
in performing her additions directly In
'front.' of the judges door. One morning
! ne discovered the queen IN the act OF div
ing into the surf. With his double bar
relied gun In hand, the judge stood on the
porch of the consulate and deliberately
fired upon the queen. About forty bird
shot took effect, and thereafter the queen
discontinued her morning plunges in front
OF the American consulate:
Judge Riley declares that the Missouri
senator's history is a perversion of facts,
and he has been trying ever since to sub
stitute his own revised version. It is DIFF
1cult to do justice to Judge Riley's ac-
count of that incident In his diplomatic
career. The judge has boundless vocabu-
larry. His descriptive powers are more
ford and gsandiloquant than those Of
Senator ea tor Daniel. Of Virginia. Born in viz
ginia Of Scotch ancestry, the judge has
al the gallantry of the most gifted sons
oI5tl.e Old dominion, with the added cum
ming of the Scotch and the complimentary
hlln.Or Of the Irish.
Born In Virginia, his parents were able
to give him the benefit Of a thorough
educatton: Els first public Office was thu i
of commonwealth's attorney for the east.
ern shore counties of Virginia. He after
ward became district judge for the same
section. and, having been g WING before
the war Of the Rebellion and q republican
and Union man thrcughout the war and
afterward, President Grant appointed
him Judge Of the Southern Fl Claims com
ward President Grant appointed him con-
sui at La Guayra. He did not remain il
Venezuela long, but was recalled and sent
to Zanzibar. on the east coast OF Africa.
The Judge says the change was In the
nature OF a promotion.
Before reaching Zanzibar he was adj
yised that former American consUls had
been subjected to many indignities by the
natives, and he was prepared to encoun-
ter some difncuIties in the administra ton
of his office. When the steamer on which
he vas q passenger dropped anchor IN

Postage to the Philippines.

A caution has been issued by
the department to the railway mail
clerks regarding the asserting of
mail for the Philippines. The
postmaster general has ruled that
military mails go at domestic rates
including letters to soldiers, while
the civil and business mails are
carried at the postal union rates,
at nearly twice as much as the
domestic. The military mails go
via. San Francisco and are rushed
to their destination. Civil mail
pouches are sent via. Portland,
Seattle or Vancouver. Clerks have
been mixing the two kinds. I'm

FUTURE POSSIBILITIES,

Sugar City is to be the name of
new town to be located forty-five
miles east of Pueblo by the Ma
tional Beet Sugar company. This
company has acquired $1,000 acres
of land to be devoted entirely to
beet culture. A sugar plant one
and half times as large as that at
Grand Junction will be erected at
a cost of S550,000, and will give
employment to about 600 laborers.
The beet sugar enterprise at
that point in the Arkansas valley
is made possible by irrigation and
gives something of an idea of the
hidden possibilities which sur
round our own city, and which will
only be revealed when Legislation
can be had providing for the re-
clamation of the arid land tribu-
tary to Florence. 1t is true that
the Twin Lakes Reservoir compa-
ny did not wait for legislation, but
with that syndicate the fact that
the state or nation has not made
provision for the irrigation, makes
possible speculation that will
yield splendid dividends. When
that time comes, however, that the
people of the East can be educated
to the needs of the West, so that
legislation for irrigation can be Sc
cured, the whole Arkansas valley
will develop into garden, and the
hum BILE ranchman will be privi-
legged to enjoy the benefits from
an established reservoir system,
as well as capitalists and sydicates

JUST TAXATION.

The decision of Judge Palmer
of Denver, last Monday, on the law
exempting religious, educational
aud charitable institutions from
taxation, will involve thousands .ol
dollars worth of property and open
up new source of revenue TO the
state. If the supreme court af-
firms the decision of the district
court of Arapahoe county, it will
end an abuse of long standing in
the matter of taxation.
Heretofore it has been the Gus
tom to exempt from taxation any
and all property holden by colleges
and churches, whether or not such
property was actually in use
for school or church purposes.
Cases exist where colleges own city
property and Immediately it came
into the possession of such institu-
ton, taxation of the property
ceased. The same case also ap-
plies to many church '.organiza-
tions.
Admitting that it is a Legitimate
proposition to exempt churches
and colleges themselves from taxa
tion, there certainly is no logical
reason in favor of extending the
privilege to property held by such
organizations and applied to out
side purposes. The government
may justly claim revenue upon the
valuation of such property.
If the decision of Judge Palmer
stands, hundreds OF churches and
many schools will be compelled to
share in the burden of taxation,

England Wants the TransvaaI,

"Americaus should have more
sympathy with the English in this
fight in the Transvaal," ;" said Frank
Owen, of London, last night at
the Oxford hotel. Mr.. Owen is as
sociate member of the Institute of
Civil Engineers of London, grad
uate of the Royal School of Mines
of London and is the London
agent of Denver firm of mining
machinery manufacturers He has
spent several years in the South
African republic.
after all, the English are fight
ing for exactly the same thing that
you Americans fought for in the
last century, he said. 1t was tax
alton without representation then
with you, and it is the same thing
with ussin the Transvaal. The
English, who form the greatest
part of the Uitlanders, who com
prise more than four-ffths of the
whole population, bear all the
taxes. The miners have to pay
Ed, Lippert, of Berlin, an enor-
nous price for his bad dynamite
because Kruger gave him mo-
nopoly of it. The state owns the
railways and has made it law
that all coal that is shipped shall
be put in sacks, to make money
for the people who run the road.
1t costs shilling hundred weight
to put the coal in sacks. Then
each foreigner has to pay poll
tax of pound year.
THE police laws are so lax that
fully one-tenth of the ore produced
from the mines is stolen.
|. The Boers h I'VE been greatly
idealized in the accounts given of
them. That is probably due to the
large secret service fund, S5,000,OOO
a year, which is used to suborn the
press. In reality they are illitor-
ate, and too beastly immoral in
their family relations to bear mem
tioning. They live by the Bible
in the blind wav that the old planta-
tion negroes used to live in Amer
lea.
Back of it all, this war is en-
tered into by the English because
they want to wipe out the disgrace
of the defeat at Majuba hill. Also.
they want the country" Denver

They sat beneath the cherry tree,
She was a gorgeous sight to see,
In spotless dress of white pique,
With garden hat SO rich and gay,
And he? Well. really his attire
Was something dudelings must admire.
His hat, a most expensive straw;
His %shirt-high ~priced-without a flaw:
His trousers-creased-of perfect fit;
His coat. in tailoring a hit"
He was a perfect Summer man."
But little noted she of these.
She said. "Oh, pick some cherries,
please
For her sweet sake-devoted soul
He would have found the frozen Pole,
So up that cherry tree he tore
He'd never mounted one before
And in an hour before her stood
From hat of straw to shoes OF tan
With half a pint-nOt extra good.
But when she saw his wretched plight
She screamed with laughter at the sight.
His face was scratched, his coat was
His shoes were stained, his hat was
gone.
The nan she'd thought so picturesque
Now seemed an object most grotesQue.
Her laughter through his heart strings
tore.
They ~parted-and they met no more!
Oh, summer men, if you would please,
Hire some one else to climb the trees.
