party that the News and Post Will not
support him IL he is nominated. 1t is
natural that there should be these
symptoms of unrest. especially among
Democrats who have been Democrats
right along, while Patterson was ca
vorting with Waite and the Populists;
but the senator will probably be able
to whip them all into line as soon as
he is fairly seated in Washington.
A more important measure even than
the Rush bill Is the revenue bill which
Is now pending in the House. More
than 200 amendments to it have al
ready been proposed; but even yet the
effect of its passage may be estimated
from the following interview with
President Frank Trumbull of the Colo
RADIO & Southern railroad, who was
asked what the prospects are for an
extension of his road up the Platte
canon to Cripple Creek, SO as to give
n short line to Denver:
"rhere is not much use in looking
for S2,0OO,OOO to be invested in Colora-
do as long as the present revenue bill
Is pending, and when it is not known
what the Legislature will do. Capital
lists are not anxious to invest their
money under such conditions"
The speaker was Frank Trumbull,
president of the Colorado & Southern,
Colorado Midland and Fort Worth &
Denver City railroads. He was asked
regarding the construction of the Col
orado & Southern cutoff between Den
yer and Cripple Creek.
"While there is plenty of money in
the country, capitalists 10 not care to
make investments in states where tax
continued Mr.. Trumbull. at would not
be at all difficult to secure the money
for the construction of the Cripple
Creek cutoff, were it not for the pend
ing legislation. The revenue bill
threatens every investor; it comes hard
upon every Investment in Colorado and
every cent of money on deposit in Colo
RADIO. Capitalists know that. Under
the circumstances they cannot be blam-
ed for holding out. Thus far we have
not attempted to raise money for the
cutoff, knowing that until Legislation is
settled 1t would be foolish. The ques-
tion of construction of the cutoff is be-
ing held in allegiance until, after the
Legislature has concluded its session."
The Chamber of Commerce has me-
morialized the Legislature in regard to
this bill, in addition to the Real Estate
exchanges, and other bodies whose bus
mess 1t would seriously affect. If the
measure becomes n law at this session
1t will be very ill-considered and ill
digested enactment.

Unimaginative exactness-so the
Century dictionary defines liberalism
may not always be the highest form
OF truth. but commercially it has COM
pensaticns. Some American manufac-
turers recently sent to their German
agent ten thousand show-cards in
which their agricultural machines
were drawn by tigers. driven by an
airily attirsd goddess of liberty The
agent returned the cards with the crit
lcism that neither in Germany were
tigers available nor adapted for draft
purposes, nor could such women as
work in the fields afford to dress as
seems to be the fashion in wonderful

offer them an opportunity of studying
the Scandinavian games and exercises,
which. like those of the ancient
Greeks, largely contribute to the

take cognizance of the national music

LIVE WASHINGTON NOTES.

II all the representatives in Congress
| of all the states that would be affect
ed by the passage of an arid land bill
could get together and agree on some
measure, the chances, in favor of its
passage would be good; but they never
yet have been able to get together; and
they are not much more likely TO do SO
than the representatives of Arapahoe
county in the Colorado Legislature are
apt to get together on any bill vitality
affecting the interests of the city of
Denver. A substantial agreement has
been reached by the majority of them.
along the lines suggested by Repre-
sentative Mondell of Wyoming. Mr..
Shafroth protested, and several other
members from the "arid states are
out of line, but Mr.. Mondell and his
friends are trying hard to get some
thing for irrigation, and if they have
not been too much hampered by their
kicking colleagues they may succeed.
| Some of the comments made about
| the Russian incident recently would
lead one to think that some newspaper
| men supposed that Secretary Gage en-
acts the tariff laws of the United States
and varies them to suit his Individual
| whim and pleasure. Among the laws
of Congress is one imposing duty on
| importations of beet sugar from for
eign countries-a law designed to favor
the growth of the American beet sugar
industry. Some beet sugar has been
imported from Russia. The secretary
of the treasury, the matter being
brought to his attention in the routine
way. decided that the law must be ap-
and other imported sugars. He did
not make the law, nor has the ability
or the power to change it or alter any
| part of it. If there is to be any friction
| with Russia as the result of the beet
sugar tariff, it will be the fault of the
| law-making body, and not of the sec:
retary of the treasury. However, no
trouble is likely to result at all.
| An extra session does not now seem
so probable as it did week ago. The
Philippine matter has apparently been
disposed of by making the Spooner bill
an amendment to the army appropria-
ton bill, and it may be that no other
matters will be so pressing as to make
it necessary, in the Presidents opin-
ion, to call the Congress together
again. Still, if the Cuban constitution
Is adopted, aud in such way as to
require Congressional action-as seems
likely-the President will perhaps he
compelled to call an extra session.
Speaking of The Spooner bill, the nm
tics of the anti-imperialists in regard
to 1t have been very amusing. The bill
is drawn almost exactly in the same
language as the bill vesting discre-
tionary power in the President Mt the
time of the Louisiana purchase. Under
its provisions, President Mckinley
will not be n bit more of dictator
over the Philippines than Jefferson was
over the Louisiana region nearly a
hundred years ago. "Imperialism"
worked well for the Louisiana territory
lit will probably work just as well
for the Philippines.

was more widely known, more sincere

Those of his comrades who knew him

shadow the greatness of the man in the
brilliant promise of the boy
Each of us experienced a great and
personal sorrow In learning of the bit

The memory of that sweet. ehildlike

main with them throughout their lives
as the strains of some sweet music
