The CoIumbine Band.

The photograph Of the Columbine
band OF Grand Junction, displayed in
tho window at Parkison's yesterday, at
ira cted considerable attention, The or
ganization is composed Of twenty one
beautiful and attractive young ladies as
the photograph appears, but those who
know say the picture does not do them
justice, and that when the band tutns
out to play the scene is one OF such daz-
cling lovliness that no camera is made
that can reproduce it. The oldest Of
the young ladies is bat nineteen years Of
age. While the organization has been
playing but few months. it is said that
they play extremely well and their music
is excellent.
An effort is being made by the citizens
OF Glenwood to bring the young ladies
to this city on Strawberry day as spec
ial attraction. The movement is re-
ceivlng much encouragement and from
all indications will be successful. =

Senators Hale Of Maine and Hoar
of Massachusetts,, two of the oldest
and ablest republican members of
the United States senate, do not
hesitate to condemn the adminis>
tration for its policy in Cuba and
the Philippines.
1t is edifying to see patriots like
them, strong enough to rise above
party and tell the truth as they see
the truth. These men come from
the revolutionary stock that laid
the foundations OF American liber>
ty, and we are glad to see that
few with the old spirit are still left
on the republican side in congress.

SPEAKING OF "WHITE WINGS"

The editor of Mr.. Allison's or
gan does not like the democratic
party organization in Mesa county,
and has much advice and criticism
to offer.
When did he become a demo>
crat, and by what right does he
assume to question the democracy
of others?
Did he imbibe his democratic
doctrines while holding office un,
der a gold bug republican admins
tration, or since he turned populist,
along with Allison, in order to get
a corner on the county printing?
The democratic party does not
need any hybrid republicans or
semi>pops to dictate its policy. 1t
is enlisted in the fight for Bryan and
free silver, and if these people do
not like that brand of politics they
know where they can go to get
different kind.
The sure>enough democrats OF
Mesa county are not exercised
about "White Wings" bogie men
or scarecrows. They are too busy
with present day issues to shy at
ghosts. They are putting in their
spare moments getting the party
into shape for winning fight this
fall.
If these self>constituted advisers
we're sincere in their advocacy OF
silver they would get in line with
the only party that promises suc>
cess, and not seek to cripple the
efforts of those who are earnestly
working toward that end.
The daily sentinel., 1900-05-29

Surely the world moves when
the New York Times says of Mr..
Bryan: at is simply justice to say
that the leader of the democracy
now presents a more respectable
figure than in any previous year
since he entered national politics.
The Bryan Of 1900 stands before
the people as a man with the bold
ness of honest convictions. The
sincerity and courage Of such an
attitude are admirable"

"Sapho" Wednesday Night.

This grea. play will be the attractian
at the Park tomorrow night.
The dramatization presented by Tay-
lor and Wands is acknowledged by those
critical persons who have read the book,
to be the best dramatization Of "Sapho"
ever put on the boards. 1t preserves all
the poetry, beauty and dramatic strength
OF the book and yet robs it entirely Of
lascivious qualities. The lovers of all
that is artistic will find "Sapho" play
worthy Of their serious interested at
tention.
