FREIGHT RATES REDUCED.

1as ordered a general reduction in
freight rates along the entire Great
Northern system. and the freight de.
7artmcnt is busy at work at the new
tariff. which is looked for in few

This movement Is made. Il Is said
by railroad men. because Of the com

Northern Pacific. as tending to show
that nm gets the highest rates wher.
ever there is no direct competition

The determination ON the part Of the ad-

case. When the interview appeared. ii
attracted much attention officially, but
after the lapse of two days without any

DANISH ISLANDS.
Complications Have Arisen in Pui
n. chase Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, Nov. f6.--Compl,t
cations have arisen in the negotial
tons for the purchase OF the Dam
ish islands in the West Indies by the
United States. One of these was
brought about by the change of mir
istry at Copenhagen. and the new
ministers there asked to have the mat
ter taken up and discussed again for
their benefit. This was done. The
Danish government is willing to sell
to the United States. but insists thai
it shall be stipulated in the treaty that
the inhabitants of the islands shall
be recognized Immediately as citizens
of the United States and entitled to
all rights as such. The state. de-
Fpartment, cannot agree to such pro-
vision. The United States may ulti
mately be willing to grant such rights
to the people of the Danish islands,
in case they fall under the sovereignty
of the United States, but this request
raises the whole. question of the col
onial policy of our governmnt
The supreme court decided last
spring that congress has the power
er to rule our colonies or possess
ions under the territorial clause Of
the constitution. with a free hand
and without taking such territory
within the United States in the full
constitutional sense. The trend of
opinion in congress appears to be
toward exercising the power with
out incorporation of our new possess
ions. and the indications that this is
to be the policy of our government
are so strong that the state depart
ment does not now think it would be
justified in an agreement to con
trary course for the benefit of the
people of the Danish islands.

Tariff situatlon,i


WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Whi1e
the eastern protectionists appear to
be in control of the situation 80 far
as tariff revision is concerned, and
while the senate is relied on to stop
all practical efforts to institute very
broad reciprocity policy, this does
not necessarily mean that war tax re-
sluc'ion will be all that is accomplish
ed by the coming congress.
President Roosevelt has under con-
sideration suggestion to recommend
the appointment OF a commission of
experts to take up the whole ones
tion Of our tariff and trade relations
with foreign countries. to report 10
congress after full investigation. He
has not reached any decision. The
old idea OF a tariff commission Is not
very popular. as every one under
stands. Congress in the end must
settle sll questions pertaining to rates
and concessions, u iqa ,A3fm1h
There is also more or less talk in
regard to adopting the European plan
of maximum and a minimum tai
in rate on all articles, giving the ex-
ecutive authority to conclude reci-
procal arrangements with foreign
countries within those limits 1 ss

The Proposed Republican Rules.
(Denver Republican,

Chairman Ford OF the Republican
STATE central committee and the gen
tlemen he has invited to cooperate
in framing rules for the guidance of
the party will have the sympathy Of
all good Republicans in every effort
they make to frame rules that will
strengthen the party and draw to it's
support all voters who, believing in
Republican principles, desire party
success in this strate. --f z-
Much depends upon the action
taken. Colorado is Republican
state according to the views upon po.
litical questions of majority of its
people. and it will SO declare itself
if the full Republican strength is
thrown in behalf of the, party nom
inees. But Colorado Republicans are
people who think for themselves, and
they will exercise the right to do SO
on all occasions. , ,.....5 .... .-,-
In framing the proposed rules care
should be taken to avoid everything
that might tend to develop factional
conditions or deny to any members
of the party free expression of their
opinion. An. open, generous, liberal
policy should be the aim of all men
of influence in party councils, for 1t is
only along such lines that the full
strength of the Republican organiza.
ton can be brought out. I'd. l..-
Bearing in mind s. what Senator
Jones of Nevada said. that the Re-
publican party is the only one which
seems to be in touch with the eco
nomic progress of the twentieth cen
tury, all Republicans should be filled
with confidence in, the future. They
should be inspired by a strong desire
to build up the party, especially in
states like Colorado where local con,
ditions are so full of announcement,
There is everything to. awaken hope
in the hearts of the Republicans Of
this state. and If wise counsels pre-
vail the leaders will have no difficulty
in placing the party In full control
of the state government.
Let a liberal and generous senti-
ment govern in framing the rules for
party guidance and the full strength
of the organization will be brought
out at the next election and Colorado
will be redeemed forever from Fu-
sion misrule. %l.-
