THE UNTRUE TRIO.

The bouncing of that notorious trio.
.essrs. Clark, Quay and Roberts, from
lr national legislature would be hail
with delight from one end of the
nited States to the other by all good
merican citizens, who love their
ountry and live hoping for the gen.
al welfare which can only be posi-
lie with clean men in congress and
enate. Reports plainly demonstrate
eyond reasonable doubt that the
orrupting influences of these danger
US and powerful politicians has been
rotested against whenever the peo-
lie have been given a chance to make
themselves heard, and still they per-
list in overriding the wishes of their
Constituencies and like all bosses and
ull dosers when it comes to show
own simply lay bare the fact that
rinciple is something that don't
cunt in politics. Retribution never
nils to follow wrong act and it is
oming home to the would-be sena-
ors Of Pennsylvania and Montana in
way that no hand can stay it. The
eginning of the end is in sight for
hem both. The mills of the gods
ave been grinding on their cases for
everal years, and in their great
hrewdness and desperation to crafty
heir desires and win in the great bat
lie waged against them, honesty, man
rood and pure principles have been
brown aside and the nation stands
,umiliated with modification while
he most notorious cases of bribery
The world has eyer seen is being held
against those men who are doing so
much toward lowering the standard of
our country, which by little good
management on the part of Congress
ind senate would lead the world.

No better illustration of the way
state cession OF the public lands would
operate to the extinction of the small
settler and stock-raiser need be looked
or than the recent action of the Col
,rado State Land Board in leasing a.
300 acres to Senator William H. Adj
TINS and his friends. The next scheme
On feet is said to be leasing of $1,000
acres to the Swift Company, the big
Chicago packers. There are scores of
small cattleiaen who will be heavy
losers if the open range is turned over
to the Swift Company. 1t is no Won
der the small settlers and farmers in
Colorado are organizing for defense
agatnst state cession. The chances of
the man of small means to take Hor-
ace Greeley's advice and 90 west and
grow up with the country will be gone
forever if the public lands are ever
coded to the states; and the small
ranchmen OF the west who are now
the bone and sinew of the country,
would rapidly be frozen out by big
outfits with a political pull like Sena-
tor Adams and his friends, or cattle
trusts with headquarters in the East
like the Swift Cattle Co.
