that after the 4th of March there will
be weeping and gnaShing Of teeth

doubt be an Unexpectedly larger num-

their health; but. for political pre-

with their Importance and part they
played in the campaign by voice, pen,
Influence, means and vote.
The weight of these reasons is fully
appreciated by any person Of political
mind and there can be no doubt Of the
determination of those in power TO
make the changes demanded by the

ITS AN OLD STORY,
Lynching a Hundred Years Ago in The
Cultured East

There was printed in the Boston
journal" On Monday q representation
Of the first page of a Boston news
paper printed in Boston q huudre1
years ago. The heading was that of
the columbian CentineI, ;" of Wednes.
day, December 81, 1900, and the read
ing matter was taken from the "Centi-
mel" and the constitutional TeIe-
graphe" OF that date. The name of
this latter paper brings to notice the
interesting fact that the invent IN of
the name preceded the institution OF
practical telegraphy. But the feature
of principal interest in this reproduc
tion Of newspaper matter printed 3
century ago Is this paragraph, which
the "CentineIn printed:
TWO MEN BURNT ALIVE.
In the United States near the b agin-
ming Of the nineteenth century WHAT
ever sensation such q sensation and Ii =
execution of it may have excited in
South Carolina, 1t certainly excites the
utm Ost horror in New EDglsbd, But
these are black men who committed
murder. But is the crime of murder
worse In the Dlack man than in 8 white
one? Has black man less sensibiIity
to the torture of fire than q man OF any
other color? Who OF as could see q dog
or est TIED 70 stake and gradually
burning TO death amidst its piercing
cries and sli those contortions which
agOnlZlng nature expresses under such
q shocking OpersliuD?-S more, who
OF Us could endure the horrible sight o.
Two men, formed, organized and en-
dowed with every feeling and passion
common TO each human being, chsIned
to stake snd burning to death smidst
all those heart piercing cries and lam
entstiOns which tortured human nature
must send forth under such an hellish
operation. America boasts of the mild
ness of her laws. must have mistaken
and read Carolina instead OF Algiers.
In what words could the Indignation
Of that writer have found expression
could be have foreseen that near the
beginning Of the twentienth century
there would still be praeticed the same
Iawless bsrbsrity whieh horrifit d him?
If snyOne hsd told him that after s
hundred years lawless mobs would still
burn black men at the stake IN the
United States, would he not have de
elared that such prophecy could not
be fulfilled?

ALLEGED ROBBERS DEN
EAST OF LONGMONT

Longmont, Colo. April 13.-Denyer
Republican Special.)-A mild attempt
to emulate the prowess of the famous
Jesse James gang has been unearthed
near here, in the opinion of local Off
GERS, by the arrest of three mysterious
ranchmen, known as Kraig, Turvinger
and Townsend. Such Is the opinion of
Detective w. ii. Reno of the Colorado
& Southern railway, and Marshal L.
NJ. Basher of Longmont.
The men were arrested yesterday on
the charge of robbing the railroad
ticket and postofiice at Elbert. and in
cldentally the unsolved burglaries at
the Loveland ticket office and Golden
postofiice are laid to them.
The three men had purchased n
forty-acre ranch about eight miles east
of here, between this town and Platte
vile, where they erected house and
barn. the latter being always occupied
by well kept saddle horses. Numerous
excursions by the mysterious tenants
have been noted, and on several occas-
ions they are said to have absentcd
themselves for several days at time
Strangers We're frequent visitors, and
the officers are now looking for another
companion by the name of Cunning
ham, who Is thought by the officers to
have been implicated In the recent rob-
berries.
If the ranch was to be used as the
basis for marauding expeditions. its
location was almost ideal. situated as
1t was but n few miles from both the
Union Pacific and Colorado roads.
Cheyenne, to the north. could be easily
reached by horseback, while to the
south no towns of Importance would
have to be passed on such an ex-
curslon.

PRESIDENT SCHURMAN'S VIEW
OF THE SITUATION in CUBA

are not in danger. There is the rub.
"Our military government has pre-
served order, established sanitation,
built public works, opened schools and
contributed to the restoration of prop
erty, but, like every other military gov
ernment, it is incapable of generating
confidence, sympathy and affection be-
tween rulers and people.
.'The greatest desideratum in Cuba is
the immediate substitution of civil gov
ernment of Cubans, for Cubans, by
Cubans. for the military government of
the United States. But such govern
ment will have no chance of success at
home or abroad without the guarantees
carried in the Platt amendment, which,
l am fully persuaded, is desired in
its essential contents by a majority of
the people of Cuba.
1.-The problem, therefore, is to get the
convention to accept 1t. do not for
a moment question the ability and pa
triotism of the delegates, but l believe
they are too much animated by the ir-
reconcilable spirit of the revolution
against Spain, in which many of them
were participants, but of which the
country is tired, knowing that the dan
ger of tyranny, thanks to the United
States, has now passed away forever.
1.-THE United States must insist ON ac-
ceptance of the Platt amendment. OPP
position of the Cuban delegates must
be overcome. l believe both ends can
be attained by conference between 4
committee of the convention and Presi-
dent Mckinley. The Cubans will then
state their desires to the highest au-
thority in the Republic. and the very
opportunity to do so will predispose
them to be consiliatory. and the tact and
diplomacy of the President, combined
with the self-interest of the Cuban
delegates. will discovery way. either
by defining the conditions of interven-
ton, or abandoning the Isle of Pines,
or specifying the number of coaling
stations, or by some other formal con-
cessions, to reach an adjustment which
will save the face of the delegates and
enable them to return to their political
parties bringing peace with honor. At
the same time the firmness of the Pres
ident may be equally trusted to main
tain the substance of an act of Con-
gress. the terms of which he is required
to substantially enforce.
"Then will follow civil government in
Cuba by Cubans and n renewal of cor
dial relations with the United States,
and this consummation is devoutly to
be wished"

CONSOLIDATION OF GOULD
RAILROADS in COLORADO

Rio Grande and the Rio Grande West
ern is going steadily on. Colonel
Dodge and Stephen Little, the latter
comptroller of the Denver & Rio
Grande, will arrive in Denver tonight
from Salt Lake. In Salt Lake they
have been checking the accounts and
property of the Rio Grande Western.
They will, it is said, stop in Colorado
Springs to-day for conference with
President Palmer of the Rio Grande
Western, when several matters pertain
ing to the transfer of the Rio Grande
Western to the Denver & Rio Grande
will be practically completed. To-
morrow in Denver they will check i'm
portant property from the books in the
office of Colonel Dodge.
1t is said that the Denver & Rio
Grande will absorb the Western entire
and consolidate the Rio Grande West
ern's offices in Salt Lake and Denver
with the Denver & Rio Grande offices
in this city, making the Rio Grande
Western simply continuation of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad. 1t is
said that when the proposed consolida-
ton of the Colorado roads is perfected
that there will be division of the work
and that the two Rio Grande, roads
will be consolidated, while the Colo
RADIO & Southern. Colorado Midland
and Denver & Southwestern will be
another consolidation.
The absorption of the Rio Grande
Western by the Denver & Rio Grande
will include the Westerns interests in
the Colorado Midland and the Rio
Grande junction. the mines and all
branches in Utah and all other inter-
ests now owned by the road. This will
include the Western Express Com
pany, which will be consolidated with
the Denver & Rio Grande Express
Company.
1t is said that the general offices of
the proposed consolidated roads will
be in Denver with offices In New York.

Among the old letters addressed to
George Washington. now collected in
the State Department library, is one
from lady who writes in the post
script that she is sorry not to be able
to use note-paper worthy of his royal
station, but had she used gold that
would have required an outer wrapper,
and 1t would have been too much to
ask one in his position to open two
wrappers in order to get at SO unwor-
thy a note as her own. This polite
speech" suggests that even in paying
compliments there are fashions" as
in other things. 1t is not certain,
however, that the letter to Washing
ton typifes the fashion of that day.
Doubtless President Mckinley would
be greatly surprised TO find such n
compliment in letter addressed to
him, and perhaps General Washington
himself was surprised and amused by
his effusive correspondent. The things
done in Jest or in eccentricity in one
generation are often taken as wholly
serious by those who read of them N
a later one.

Denver, Colo, April 1S.-The Repub-
lican this morning says:
Frank Trumbull according to infor-
nation from New York received in
Denver yesterday, is to be the presi-
dent of the consolidated Gould rail-
roads in Colorado. This consolidation
will include the Denver & Rio Grande,
Rio Grande Southern, Rio Grande
Western, Colorado Midland, Colorado
& Southern, Fort Worth & Denver
City and the Denver & Southwestern
railroads. Gould is already in control
of the Denver & Rio Grande, the Rio
Grande Western and the Midland rail-
roads, and it is said that he has prac-
tically secured control of the South
western and that his control of the
Colorado & Southern will be secured
next month.
Mr.. Trumbull is now in New York
and it is said that he is ir conference
with the Hartman interests. 1t
is said that no formal announcement
of his appointment as president of the
consolidated roads will be made until
nearly June 1st on which date it Is
intended to perfect the consolidation
Meanwhile it is said he will be notified
of his appointment. In connection
with this statement comes n rumor
that Colonel d. G. Dodge second vice
president and general manager of the
Denver & Rio Grande, also will have n
prominent position in the consolida-
ton.
Mr.. Trumbull is now president Of
the Colorado & Southern, Colorado
Midland and Fort Worth and Denver
City railroads. The Goulds have had
previous experience with him on the
Texas & Pacific, where as auditor he
began his railroad career. His ap-
pointment as receiver of the old Union
Pacific, Denver & Gulf railroad, now
the Colorado & Southern railroad, was
through Gould influence
