Festivals and Politics.

The Rocky Mountain News takes up
the oudgels for . change Of date OF th1
republican and democratic conventions
in an editorial this morning. as given
below There is no reason on earth why
the state central committees OF these
two political organizations car not change
the dates Of their conventions. As far
as this festival in this valley is concerned
there will be no change OF date and there
will be a big void in the convention
from western slope counties.
"The dates for the state conventions
of the republican and democratic parties
clash with those of the two largest Of the
autumn festivals for the year. Rocky
Ford's Watermelon day is fixed for Sep
tember while the repub ican convention
is called for September 7. Grand Junct-
ions Peach day celebration is fixed for
September IL, IL and IS, while tho demo-
cratic convention is called for September
IL. Fish and Game day at Steamboat
Springs is fixed Tor September l3 and IA.
on which days the democratic con-
VCuLlOu Will bIllt 10 Ill CoccAoa.
This clash in dates is unfortunate.
As politics is rampant this year, a. it
always ia on presidential year, the fes-
tivals are likely to suffer unless change
OF dates is made. The republicans Of the
Arkansas valley will have to abandon
the watsrmelons to the democrats, or fail
to arrive in Denver until noon OF the 7th
The democrats OF the western slope and
of northwestern Colorado will be obliged
to give up peaches and venison, elk aud
bear steaks to their republican neighbors
il they would reach their state convent
ion at all II this state of things is to
be avoided, one or the other side OF the
date claimants will have to give way,
and it is pretty eafe assertion that it
will not be tho politicians. No political
committee ever gave up anything it once
laid claim to-not even . date. The
two committees are certain to come in
for a round roasting at tho hands Of the
newspapers of Rocky Ford, Grand Junct-
ion and Steamboat Springs. Fortunate
ly the affair cannot be used as a political
issue-one party being as deep in the
mud as the other is in the mire."

Queen Victoria's Sorrow.

London, July 31.-Following 20 quick
ly the shocking murder of King Humbert.
the sudden death of the duke OF Coburg
constitutes terrible blow to his aged
mother, Queen Victoria. Much anxiety
prevails on her &C count tonight, and il
is feared that her health is likely to be
gravely affected by her bereavement.
Duke Alfred OF Saxs-Coburg Goths.
was the queens sailor son, an English
prince by birth aud German sovereign
only by accident of succession. Since
he ascendsd the throne OF his uncle
seven years ago, he has made his homo
in Germany. But whenever he could
snatch q holiday he invariably spent it
in England, AMI all of his tastes. his
friends and associations were British,
rather than German.
This accounts for the sincere sorrow
that has been caused by his death. 1t
has been known for some time past that
he was very ill, suffering from q compli-
cation Of ailments. His spirit had been
cons,derably broken since the shocking
circumstances OF the suicide Of his only
son two years ago.
His younger brother, the duke Of Con-
naught, and the latter's only con, Arthur,
having waived their rights Of succession.
the next in line is the 16 year old duke
OF Albany, only son of the late Prinse
Leopold, younger son Of Queen Victoria.
The duke OF Albany now becomes
sovereign of the independent duchy Of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and, pending
his majority. which he claims two cars
hence at the age of 1S, the government
will be administered in his name by the
son-in-law of the late Duke Alfred.
prince Of Hohsnlohe Langenberg, as
regent and as his guardian.
The yonng duke happens to be in
England at the present moment, likewise
the just widowed duchess Of Saxe-Co-
burg and her unmarried daughter. They
will remain here until after the funeral
which is to take place at Windsor.

Some serious talk was being done
on the street this morning regarding the
passing OF some pennies that had been
nickeled and passed of as dimes. This
might constitute the offenss OF counter
feiting, il it had not been done in spirit
Of fun, but when it was done
under the latter condition and the par
ties who received the coins were told at
once what the denomination Of the coins
were, nothing of harmful intent could
be made out of tho matter. Under any
circumstances no one has a right to fool
with the currency of the United States
government, as it is counterfeiting
to do 20. s.

Our Public Schools.

Rev. Mr.. Lewis of Rodney Strect
Church, requests us to contradict
the statement that he considered
the schools in England superior to
those in this country. How the
students in Friends School, Fourth
and West streets, should have ar
rived at this conclusion from his
talk last Monday, he is unable to
conceive. While he referred to the
school at Shrewsbury in compli-
mentary terms he spoke Just as
favorably OF Princeton, of which he
is Il graduate. He has cast his lot
in this country and he has no dis
position to find fault with its insti-
tutions or speak OF them disparing-
" in comparing them with those y
