Colorado Teachers for Colorado schools.
In the Denver Evening Times of July
81, appears the following editorial Civ
ing expression to an experiment, which
is worth trial:
Colorado teachers for Colorado
schools is rule that the citizens of Colo
RADIO should insist on being strictly en-
forced. There are certainly enough
young women and men with good ed
ucations-as good in every particular as
can be acquired in the East-to fill with
credit every position that may be open.
If this is not so, the State Normal school
and the high and Manual Training
schools of this and other cities of the
state are uselessly costly appendages of
the public educational system.
''In the early days of the state there
was undoubted reason for the impor
tation of teachers from the East or for
giving the preference to those who might
come here voluntarily. The conditions
that then prevailed have long since pas
sed away, and, with their passing an end
nave Dttu lluNlG VI tiiC SSNAi VI
giving the preference to instructors
trained elswhere, even when quaifica-
tions were confessedly only about equal.
That this has not been done is unfor-
tunately only too true and it should not
be allowed longer to prevail.
"The Times believes that the State
university, the State Normal, Denver
university, Colorado college and the
various high schools of the state afford
fully as good educational advantages as
do any similar high schools anywhere in
the country. 1t cannot see why the
examinations for teachers should be
postponed for full month to permit
Eastern trained pedagogues, male and
female, especially "crammed" only too
often for the occasion, to enter into con-
tests for vacancies.
Let the graduates of our home schools
be encouraged in every way possible to
become teachers and do not seek for
talent in the East unless there be alb
solute necessity. Let Colorado's child
rem be trained by Colorado's own sons
and daughters, native il possible or ad-
opted if need be, but Coloradan to their
finger tips. The Times believes that
the children OF the state will not suffer
one iota in consequence, but, on the con-
trary, they will profit in material par
ticulars. In any event, the experiment
is we'll worth prolonged trial"

Accidently Killed.

Last Saturday night about 1870
o'clock as Fred Jeffrey and a companion
named Quinn were returning home, they
noticed fire flashing from wire run
ming from the chimney on the NJ. &.
church to the ground. Young Jetferies
took hold of the wire with his right
hand to see what the matter was and was
almost instantly electrocuted, as the
wire was charged with electrictriclty,
communicating to it from the iron roof
of the church. across which lay tele
phone wire. which was intersected by a
live electric wire. Young Quinn awak-
ened some neighbors and they carried
him to his mothers house on the streetir
the rear of the church. Acting coroner
Thomas Hooper was sent for, but after
an examination he did not deem it nee
cessary to hold an inquest, although ex-
pressing the opinion that it was a piece
of carelessness to allow an electric wire
to cross the telephone wires.
Fred c. Jeffrey was the only son OF a
widowed mother and was 81 years 10
months and IL days of age. His funeral
occurred yesterday afternoon from the
NJ. E. church, under the auspices OF the
United Moderns and was very largely
attended. Interment was made in the
Odd Fellows cemetery, west OF Central.

from the Philippines, there is little
doubt about the kind of laborers they
will be. Chinese coolies are what these
planters are after. Mr.. Powderly says
the Hawaiian planters can get all the
laborers they want among the negros IN
the South if they will pay sufficient
wages. That's the rub. 1t is cheap
labor these planters have grown rich on,
and that is what they want now.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Howl eatss Won Money.

A rather novel but eminently practi- cal. way to observe the straws that show which way the political wind blows IS suggested by a story told about John w. Gates, the millionaire steel magnate by T. M. Leary at the Hillman last night. .
 MT. Gates went to New York shortly before the last election" said MT. Leary'. filled with 0 strenuous desire to pet money on the chances of Tammany ana its almost perfect organization. He felt perfectly sure in his own mind that MT. Low and his party of unorganized re- formers and so-called 'sorehead poitl- clans could do nothing against the per- feet machinery controlled by MT. Croker and his intimates, Mir. Gates is man who is willing to back his opinion with extraordinarily high betting, as the story about the famous poker game in which he bet s5O,o0O will show. He Is said to have been willing to wager some $50,0O0 on the Tiger. Fortunately TOT himself he had his shoes blocked Tn the Victoria Hotel one day, and overheard the bootblacks talking politics. They were for Low. A little later he wandered into the hotel bar for refreshing liquids and a cigar heard Low hei~ on high' this time by the barkeepers and walters MT Gates began to ask questions. lie found to his great surprise that the working classes seemed to want Low for Mayor. He bet his money with the working classes and won. The moral IS obvious. The voter is the indicator and not the politician"

Cold Wave Not a Record Breaker.

The Age-Herald respectfully but firmly objects to the dubbing of the cold wave as "the Alabama storm" " This is done in Washington and east ern dispatches, and we insist the storm is misnamed. It was not orig mated in Alabama, nor did it first be- gin to pinch mankind here. It came from the wholesale department of the everlasting nursery in the Rocky mountains, and it, for reasons best known to itself, turned southward be- fore going eastward. Perhaps 1t wanted to warm itself up little. Per- haps one of these mysterious low pressures blocked it's course east ward. However that may be. 1t came directly from the Rockies where they keep blizzards on tap all through the winter months.
 The weather bureau should not islander Alabama by naming such a wave "the Alabama storm" Alabama would never be guilty of the inhu- manity that went with this storm or wave or blizzard or freeze. No more inconsiderate storm has ever visited this section, and we hope none ever will. It actually threatened zero weather, but it was not quite equal to the task in this State. It's worst was about five degrees above that point, and no one wanted to see it make record. The wave in Febru- ary, 1899, still holds the record, and it is to be hoped 1t will continue to hold it to the end of the time.

MRS. KNOX uPsETs CUSTOMS.

From the New York Journal.
 Washington-Mrs. Knox, wife of the at- torney general, has the courage of her convictions and intends to conduct her cabinet receptions on her own lines. This is directly at variance with the policy of the Presidents official family.
 Wednesday afternoon. for the first time since coming to Washington, Mrs. Knox was formally at home to callers. Society paid its respects and went away jubi- lant over her innovation of having tea table at the regular Wednesday recep- tions. The attorney generals is the only cabinet house at which tea Is served at the formal Wednesday afternoons at home.
 At the outset of the last administration the question of having the tea table at cabinet receptions was decided against
 Mrs. Knox Is extremely fond of all out of-door sports and excells in golf. Quite recently she spent the entire day and aft ernoon at the golf course at Chevy Chase arriving home victor in a hotly contested game just in time to dress and attend dinner at the White House.

Rayner's Bad Advice.

It is to be hoped that Lawyer Ray ner's advice as to the reopening of the Schley case will not be favorably acted upon. The case as it stands is in his favor, and no action that a Congressional committee or other tribunal could take can better it. All of the court say he acted with self possession and courage during the battle, and all the world knows that the results of that battle in which he had command were satisfactory. No one denies that the enemy in that bat tie escaped annihilation. What more could be said in Admiral Schley's fa- vor.
 As to the plans that Admirals Ben ham and Ramsey have gone to much trouble to find they are of little &C., count. History which deals with re- suits will pay no attention to them, and if 1t does it will accept George Dewey's judgment rather than that of two unknown admirals who never fought a fleet. The truth is, Commo- dore Schley could not obey orders and red tape and capture the Spanish fleet, and he did not hesitate to act as his own judgment dictated when circumstances demanded such action. A commander who would do otherwise would be considered incompetent, and the merit of such actions is shown in what was accomplished.
 When all the members of the court say Schley showed himself brave and loyal commander at Santiago, and when Admiral George Dewey says "he was in absolute command, and is en- titled to the credit due to such com manding officer for the glorious vic tory" there Is really no more that need be said. The friends of Winfield Scott Schley, and they are legion, should therefore urge him to drop the case where it is. The real verdict is in his favor. for the people and George Dewey have found for him, and the querelous findings of Benham and Ramsey should be thrown into the waste paper basket, as the mere vapor- ing of jealous naval coterie, as spite full as 1t Is powerless for harm.

DRAWS THE COLOR LINE.

The reappearance of the "color line in the convention of the American Federa- tion of Labor at Scranton will revive the long standing discussion of what it to be the status of the negro in the industrial world, a question that concerns not only the future of the negro race in this coun- try but all interests that depend upon skilled labor.
 The race question came up when the committee on law reported a resolution compelling all local unions affiliated with the federation to join the central labor bodies in their respective localities. The resolution excited vigorous protest on the part of delegates from the South, who claimed that the proposition would com pei white unions to take in negroes, and if adopted by the convention 90 per cent. of the unions South of Mason and Dixon's line would secede from the federation" The discussion became so animated that 1t was decided to drop the matter on the ground that the resolution would be un-' wise at this time
 The discussion, however, served to ret veal condition of sentiment in labor unions both North and South that must fill the friends of the negro race with, grave apprehension. The tendency of nearly all intelligent modern educational efforts in behalf of the negro is in the dis rection of making an artisan of him wherever 1t Is possible to do so. This tendency or idea has it's most noteworthy exemplification in the Tuskegee Institute at Tuskegee, Ala, where President Wash ington is inculcating in the negro race the doctrine of industrial independence The institute is turning out negro carpen- ters, blacksm iths. masons, wagon makers, shoemalters and farmers It is the theory of President Washington that in this industrial education lies the only satisfactory solution of the race prob- lem.
 But how are negro artisans to secure employment against the combined oppo- sition of the white unions North and South? It may be answered that the ne- groes may form unions of their own, as they have done in Richmond, Va, but this does not wipe out the -color line' when 1t comes to entering the industries that employ skilled labor. neither does 1t remove the antagonism of the white.
 The situation calls for much serious study and reflection from those who have long contended that the negro must work out his own salvation through industrial independence"

To HeIn Holiday Buyers.

''The tactful eastern merchant, to help perplexed shoppers, in this year arrang- ing his goods in lots, one collection being marked Presents for men, the other Presents for women,'" said a drummer last night.
 Here's business enterprise for you. Instead of bewildered man having to roam from one counter to another, every where confronted ed by vivacious saleswom- en, who are but too likely to burst into a chorus of giggles at all his little mis- takes, he has only now to visit the proper exhibit, where is grouped everything from a thimble to a trunk, and, extending majestic forehnger, say gimme that.
 ''He can't compromise his dignity very much in this short but oracular sen- tence, and if, by chance, he has point ed to something that costs s5, but that he thought would cost only 50 cents, he regards 1t as the fortunes of war, and bears adversity bravely, like a man.
 "The 'presents-for- collection is looked over with gratitude by feminine shoppers. The hardest things in the world next to putting a camel through the eye of a needle is to buy something for a masculine creature that he will like, and that he won't put away in his top bureau drawer and never look at again. The av- craze man Is harder to please in the mat ter of gifts than an infant in arms.
 with a man ingenuity doesn't count He doesn't care to be given something that no other body ever had before. He's willing to receive the same thing year after year, if the first one suited his fancy and has worn out in the twelve months. He doesn't care any more for em- broidery than he does for drawn work, and his views on renaissance lace are ex- tremely vague. but he'll cherish an old smoking jacket when it's worn at the elbows and faded and torn, and will re- fuse to give it up until he is given new one.
 He Is practical. not imaginative. That must be borne in mind in buying his Christmas gift

ELECTRICAL STATISTICS.

From Leslies Weekly.
 The astonishing progress of electrical. science during the past twenty years is admirably summed up by MT. Anthony N. Brady in tre current number of the North American Review. MT. Brady was enc of the first to recognize the vast possibilities in a commercial sense, of electricity, and has been. and still is, enc of the foremost promoters of electri- cal enterprises in the United States. Ac- customed though we are to the marvel ous achievements of applied electricity in recent days, the facts and figures set forth by Mir. Brady are a revelation. Tho amount of capital invested in electrical enterprises reaches stupendous totals, such as these: s250,OOO0O0 in telegraphy, s4OO 900 in telephones s75O, o0O.O0o in cleo tric lighting, and s2,c00 0,000,6o0 in electric railways. or a grand total of less than $4OOO OOO. coo in electrical industries in this country alone, and en employment roll of zoo, 900 people. MT. Brady predicts that the next twenty years will see an ad- vancement In the uses and applications of electricity greater even than in the two decades past. Merchandise, he says, will soon be collected by electrically op- erated express wagons, transferred to electrically propelled freight Cars, and whirlei from New ! ork to Chicago at a speed of nirety miles an hour over trunk lines whos SC problems of electrical equipment and maintenance will have solved themselves. The age of wonders has clearly only just begun.

AS TO MAcLAY.

From the Kansas City Star.
 The man who has been most thoroughly discredited by the Schley inquiry, and who comes out of the case covered with conspicuous odium Is Historian" Maclay, who was guilty of an outrageous assertion that the hero of Santiago turned in catiff flight The general repudiation of this foul islander by the people did not. in the least degree, extenuate its malicious in- tent.
 The grave responsibility resting upon the naval officers who permitted such a coarse and utterly baseless libel to pass them in the proofs of Maclay's so-called history of the navy, may never be defin- itely fixed. but the dignity of the United States navy, and the amenities which are obligatory between its officers. call for the prompt discharge from the service of man guilty of such a grave offense of the htgh standing of Admiral Schley
