Attack on the Revenue BIN.

Attack on the Revenue Bill.
The people Of the state OF Colorado.
If the public press indicates fairly their
views, are opposed to the effort to make
nugatory the late revenue bills passed
by the Thirteenth General Assembly
and while the average good citizen OF
the state is disposed to respect the de-
clsion Of the courts. yet not few Of the
findings Of even the highest judicial
authority in Colorado have been criti-
cised for want Of judicial acumen and
common fairness. The effect Of want
OF confidence in either the ability or
integrity of these tribunals is certainly
very injurious, and no good citizen OF
the state should encourage distrust OF
the rectitude Of our judges. But while
all this is true it certainly is not i'm
proper to call attention to facts, and, it
is not only true that want Of CONT
dence in the state Judiciary land when
we say state Judiciary we mean especi-
ally the supreme court) exists. but the
power of the rich to influence the judic-
ial decisions is very generally com
mented upon by the people, and so true
is this latter allegation that in our opin-
ion an adverse decision from Judge
Dixon Of Pueblo followed by like one
from the state supreme court upon the
validity !. O.. constitutionality Of the
revenue bill named will be regarded
with general suspicion by the people
and will not be promotive of the best
feeling towards the corporations and
the G. o. p. management which is be-
Iieved to be behind the attack upon the
revenue legislation in question.-Como

With anguish their hearts were sore riven,
Yet precious to them were the holy words

Yes, God needed another little lamb
To shine with his chosen band,

to obviate the harmful influence of the
disease upon the nourishing Of the body
by prescribing certain dishes and forbid

safe guidance of the theory Of meta
bolism. they wandered off into all sorts

Mere side issues were regarded as Of pri-

not died out to this day. Not until It

loss of weight by using every means to
increase the supply of food. Keeping
