That Smelter Scheme.

The Cheyenne Sun-Leader. OF the 2Sth
Of March, after waiting a week, probably
for orders from its Denver office. jumps
onto The Sun rough shod for daring to
criticise the pamphlet issued by Elmer
son q McCaffrey, advertising a smelter
at Grand Encampment. 1t is signiti-
cant that the Sun-leader is the only
paper that has dared to come out in de
fence OF that transparent scheme. AS
usual there is nothing In the Sun.Lead.
er's attack on us worthy of an answer,
so we will devote no space to it but take
up the question of a smelteI at Grand
Encampment from a practical stand
point.
Any one at all familiar with the re-
quirements of a smelter knows that it
takes from four to five tons of coal eth
or as coal or coke, to melt one ton Of
ore. 1t also requires from one-half to
three-quarters of a ton of iron, besides
lime and other things, to one ton of ore,
in the way of fux. For this reason it
will be seen at oncc that it is easier to
transport the ore to some convenient
point, where the coal and huxing ma
terial can be had cheaply, than to under
take to haul those things at great ex-
pense TO the place where the ore is pro
duced.
For this reason all smelters are located
where coal and iron can he had cheaply.
Not a pound of Cripple creek ore is
smelted where produced, but the whole
product of hat famous mining camp is
hauled to Denver where coal and iron
are cheap.
For the above reasons. il for no other,
we do not believe that there will ever be
Il pound of ore smelted in the wonderful
creation which adorns the back OF the
aforesaid pamphlet.
The only way that the ores OF the
Battle Lake region car be best treated
is by concentrating the ore at the mines
with water jackets. BY this means the
product of the mines can be reduced to
10 or 80 per cent. copper and shipped to
some smelter.
For the reasons above advanced. and
for many other good and sufficient rea.
sons, The Sun does not believe that the
Grand Encampment smelter scheme is
anything put a financial wind. bag, de.
vised to lure money from the peoples
pockets. We have yet to know Of Il
single person that has the least faith in
It. On the other hand the scheme is
laughed at as 'another dodge to obtain
money AMI sell town lots In Grand En-
campment."

Broke His Arm.

A man by the name of Nominees
who was employed at the Fer
ris- Haggaty mine, had the mlsfor-
tune to fall from the 100 foot level
down 30 feet, to the bottom OF the
new shaft Sunday, breaking his
left arm above the elbow. He had
been employed at the mine but a
few days when the accident occur
red He forgot where he was
and stepped off backwards falling
plump to the bottom of the shaft
and the great wonder is that he
did not injure himself far more
seriously than the simple fracture
of an arm. He was brought to
town Monday and DIR. Price set

being cared for at the Gels hotel

Does Sovereignty Mean Tyranny

Does such n legal relation be-
tween the federal government and
federal territories imply tyranny?
By no means The old conception
of the colonial system implied gov
eminent of colonies primarily for
the benefit of the mother country.
1t was against such a system that
the American colonies of Great
Britain and Spain revolted and
established their independence.
The new conception of colonies
implies their government primar-
lily for their own benefit. 1t is
this conception which today unites
Canada and Great Britain by
bonds more delicate than silk and
yet stronger than steel.
In short, this relation of the
United States to its territories is
based not on greed, but on a high
sense of duty, 1t implies the old
Anglo-SaXon safeguards for per
sonal liberty. 1t implies local
self-government, far more indeed,
than is enjoyed by the District Of
Columbia. But it also implies
that federal citizenship in the
United States is a high privilege
not to be granted lightly and only
to be won by proved desert. 1t
implies, finally, that statehood in
the American Union is the high
est privilege of all, to which no
territory has an a priori right, and
which hereafter will be bestowed
charity and only after long de-
liberation.-From the "Consti-
tuition and the Territories by
Harry Pratt Judson, in the Amer
lean Monthly Review of Reviews

Chicago, June 27.-The Record to-
day says: 1t developed yesterday
that the prohibtionists of the United
States expect to go before the demo-
cratic national convention at Kansas
City. July 4, with a list of 100000
voters pledged to support William ].
Bryan II the democratic party will
sdopt a prohibition plank In its plat
form. The advocates OF this move
uent do not expect the democrats to
favor such a plank, but they believe
and insist that It will be the entering
wedge which will finally split one or
the other of the two great parties and
build upon the ruins of the founda-
ton a new party.
The plan of pledging 100000
voters who signed an agreement to
support no candidate who would not
stand firmly on the prohibition issue
originated with the RAMS Horn, a
magazine which is recognized us the
mouthpiece of prohibition. It is said
the national prohibition convention
to-day will indorse the effort of the
Rams Horn.
Many of the delegates upon hear
ing Of the action to be taken at Kan
sas City wanted to know yesterday
why the matter was not taken up
with the republican convention at
