The saca County Land Bill.

The enemies of Judge Northcutt,
who thought to defeat him by gross
misrepresentation of the Baca coun-
ty land bill, received rude shock
when he boldly avowed the author
ship of the bill and went down to
Baca county to open his campaign.
The people of that county, the ones
most interested in the bill, gave him
an enthusiastic welcome and assured
him of Their hearty support in the
campaign of slander being waged
against him.
The bill in question was drawn up
at the instance of the residents of
Baca county, who objected to having
their range destroyed by outsiders
who pay no taxes into the county
treasury whatever. It provided for
the sale of al vacant public lands in
Baca county to the highest bidder
at public auction for cash. But first,
and this is the part the democrats
carefully conceal, each resident of
Baca county could select and have al
lotted to himself ten acres for each one
he now holds. The land SO allotted
was to be appraised by fair com
mittee and sold to the resident at the
LOWEST appraised value. The bill
also provided that these residents

The fusion campaign in this state
is being run on wind. Governor
Thomas in January claimed Bryan's
majority would be larger than in '06;
by the time OF the state convention in
the spring he had it down to 100, 600;
at the fall convention he was modest
ly claiming 10000, but now he is
making frantic appeals to the faith
full to save the party. The governors
machine has evidently been pune
tured.

Senator woIcott and Land BIZ.


A great deal has been said by Gov.
Thomas and others about Senator
Wolcott's intention to steal the pub-
lie lands of Baca county for the use
of large cattle companies, and many
of our farmers would no doubt like
to know inst what the Senator's con
nectiop with the bill was, for the bill
is now dead and buried. Governor
Thomas knew the facts but deliber-
ately lied to injure an opponent
The bill was prepared by Judge
Northcutt and sent to Senator VOL
colt with request that be introduce
it on behalf OF the citizens of Baca
county. he Senator introduced it
and had it referred to the committee
with request that they obtain the
opinion OF the commissioner of the
general land Office with regard to the
bill The committee reported that
the commissioner deemed it inadvis-
able, and it was then on motion of
Senator Wolcott promptly killed.
This occurred almost year ago and
is we'll known to all the men who are
now claiming that it will pass the
senate this winter.

There are only two alternatives for
the taxpayers of this state, and they
will soon have to decide whether
they wish to raise taxes or dismiss
some of the useless officials. The
republicans are pledged'to the latter
course; the democrats are already
practicing the former, and are now
collecting from the taxpayers more
than the limit provided by the con
stitution.

Governor Thomas six years ago
stumped the state and denounced
Governor Waite for his reckless ex
penditures, which left deficit Of
$4,000. The deficit for the Thomas
administration is more than three
times that amount, and a vote for
Sahin and Traxler is an endorsement
Of this most corrupt and disgraceful
administration ever known in the
state of Colorado.

should have TWELVE MONTHS
time after the appraisement was
made in which to pay for the land
selected by them.
The bill was in the interest and in
defence of Baca county people, and
while treating them leniently, threw
the most stringent safeguards around
their rights. Judge Northcutt can
we'll afford to rest his defence on the
bill itself.

Farwell and Mclean are pledged
both in the state and local platforms

and that is the greatest need of the

WHAT BRYAN STANDS FOR.

Ii Mr.. Bryan speech in response to his
notification has produced any considera-
BILE effect upon the country we have failed
was in many ways notable one, far be-
yond anything he had before done, and
contained many arguments which were
at least plausible, If not sound. The
reason that it has made no more impress
sion is not due to any feebleness on it's
part, for it was not feeble, but because
the people are taking a broad view of
this campaign and are grouping all the
issues together. What they are asking is
which candidate and which party can be-.
taking all the questions at issue into con-
sideration, more safely trusted with the
management of national affairs for the
next four years. This is not campaign
OF one issue, but of many. We have had
campaigns in which there was practically
but one question, but this is not of that
kind, Involved in this campaign are the
stability OF the currency, the permanency
OF the protective policy as we'll as the
future management of our 1nsular possess
sions IL the last question were the only
one involved Mr.. Bryans speech would
undoubtedly have made more impression,
and possibly it might have won some
converts from among Republicans. AS
the case is Republicans who might be in
clined to prefer some of his views on the
question of the management of our new
possessions, II chat were the only ques-
ton involved, will remember that to ac-
cept him on this question is to accept
him on the free silver question, to elect
him to carry out his policv in regard
to the Philippines is to elect him to carry
out his policy in regard to the currency,
and the courts and the tariff, and when
they remember this they Will quickly
dismiss all Idea of giving him any aid
directly or Indirectly. Mr.. Bryan, what =
ever he says and does now, or how much
he labors to obscure all other issues but
that of so called Imperialism, cannot get
the fact out of the public mind that he is
pledged by the platform upon which he
was nominated, and bound by hundreds
of promises which he himself has
publicly made, to exactly the same doc
trtnes which he and his party proclaimed
in 1896. His election in 1900 will stand
for just what it would have stood for in
1896-the partial Reputation of public
and private debts, the degradation of the
courts and the handing over the man
agement of all the Important branches of
the government to the cratic elements
which control the Demo-Populst party.

luton viii be adopted changing Memorial
Day from May Both to the Sunday next
preceding that date. The change Is pro-
posed because tho day is now largely
given over to holiday sports and
will always continue to be If it
is a week day. 10 select Sunday
would restore the day to what 1t was
intended to be when it was set apart
that is a day OF sacred observance rather
than day of sports and amusem snts as
1t has now largely become. The change
would drop out one of our holt
days, and for that reason we may ex-
pect some opposition to it among the
people in general. 1t may be also that
the change will arouse some hostility
among the churches, lest general worship
may be disturbed.

Doubtless one of the first reforms that
the allies will insist upon in China will
be the retirement of the Empress Dow
ager. AS long as she remains upon the
throne foreigners will be exposed to con-
star danger. Unquestionably she sided
with the Boxers when they started their
raids upon foreigners and secretly gave
them assistance, But for her interference
they would undoubtedly have been put
down early in their career by the Chinese
troops. But every Chinese general who
sincerely sought to crush them was de-
graded by her orders, while those who
winked at their proceedings were pro-
NOTED. Latterly the fear of the vengeance
of the Powers has9 modified her conduct
somewhat, but there is plenty of proof
that as long as she followed her own in
clinations she was intensely hostile to the
foreigners and connived at their massacre
by the Boxers, if she did not directly
order it.

The story that Com Paul has offered to
contribute to the Bryan campaign fund
in return for the promiseS Of assistance
if Bryan is elected is little too silly
even for this silly season. We imagine
that Dom Paul atsthe present time could
not contribute much money to anything ;
but If he had oceans Of it it is ineonceiv-
able that he would spend any of it on a
political campaign in a country, from
which he must know that he could get
no help no matter who was President.
The person who invented this story was
probably sounding the gulIibility of the
public. That gullibility is pretty deep,
but it is not bottomless as the manutac-
turer of this yarn seems to have inn
agined.

If the allies have met with no serious
check since General Chaffee' dispatch
announcing that the advance guard was
within 33 miles of Pekin, they must by
this time be very close to that city. There
was danger, OF course, that they would
meet strong opposition a. Ching Hal Wan
or lung Chow, in which case they may
have to fight their way to the city, and
that will require more time If we knew
the precise situation in Pekin it would
be comparatively easy to judge wheth er
the expedition is to be allowed to enter
the city without opposition or whether it
will be as strongly resisted as possible
If the government is in real control then
the former Is the more probable, because
that is the only course it can take which
affords a chance of saving itself. But if,
as is suspected to be the case, the govern
ment really is at the mercy of the anti
foreign element in the city the chances
favor stout resistance and a Fgood deal OF
fighting before the allies actually get
into the city. The matter is one that it
is useless to speculate upon, so near at
hand is the denouement. 1t is clear.
however, that great deal of credit is
due General Chatfee for the vlgor with
which he has pressed on toward the goal.
