The shy damsel whom the unsus-

taurant had ordered everything on
the menu except bread and butter,
when she turned the young man

'Do you know, am not one bit

Tie poor man felt the $130 in his
vest pocket, laughed feebly and IN

THOMAS M. PATTERSON.

Thomas M. Patterson, the newly
elected United States Senator from
Colorado, richly earned the prize
he received from the fusion forces,
He has at all times been the Her
cules and Achilles of every politi-
cal movement that was anti-Re-
publican. He is an astute poll
tician, with perhaps his full share
of personal ambition and desire for
self-advancement, yet it is an un-
questionable fact that he has
swerved less in his advocacy of
real political principles during the
past twenty years than any other
party leader in the state, and he
has more consistently supported
the measures which were helpful
to the masses. In many of his
contests he has been denominated
an arrant demagogue and a dan
gerous man, but however, be that
as it may, it cannot be gainsaid
that he is one of the strongest,
brainiest and ablest men in the
state. He is better equipped for
the parliamentary arena than any
of Colorado's statesmen. While
his oratory has not the, captivating
grace which characterizes VOL
colts efforts, Patterson is more of
a student than Wolcott and his
speeches TEEN with a greater vari-
ETY. of accurate information.
In the past five years Patter-
sons mind has broadened and mel
lowed until now he has become
quite judicial in his temperament
and quite conservative in his ex-
pressions, as compared with his
former aggressive and uncompro-
missing actions. The high charac-
ter for ability and eloquence which
Colorado has SO long sustained in
the national senate will not be
mnrred nor paled by his incum-
bency.

THE COAL STRIKE.

1t is not believed that any prac-
teal result will follow the investi-
CATION of the coal strike now being
made by a committee from the
general assembly, but however, the
investigation is a good thing, even
if devoid Of tangible results, in
that it is a recognition of the prin-
ciple that the public has an inter
est in such matters that is entitled
to consideration. No settlement
is in sight at present. The miners
at Walsenburg and in Las Animas
county have not gone out yet and
possibly will not. Crested Butte
is vitality interested in the strike
and its outcome, but thanks to
good judgment and forethought,
partly occasioned by the lesson of
the lock out year ago last spring,
the men have not as yet resolved
to participate.

Under the new congressional ap-
portionment bill the house of rep
resentatives will consist of 1856
members as against 3o7 for ten
years past. The ratio of appor-
tionment is increased from 173, Sol
to 194,1S The states which were
controlled by the Republicans at
the recent election gain nineteen
votes and the states carried by the
Democrats ten votes. This might
give to the measure partisan as
pect, but it is purely mathemati-
cal accident. The present bill was
fixed SO as to not reduce the rep
resentation of any state, and the
bill SO amended as to give the
states which had increased in pop
ulation an increased representa-
ton. Colorado is one Of the latter
states, and in 1902 will elect three
congressman.

QUEEN VICTORIA.

The passing of Queen Victoria
is an overpowering loss to the en-
pire over which she has ruled SO
long and well. She has welded
more authority than any other
woman who ever lived, and she
exercised her authority with more
womanly tact and kindness than
any other woman with a tithe of
her authority ever did.
1t was good for the British en-
pire that it had woman at its
head. There is some semblance of
latent chivalry among men even at
the present period; a Canadian or
an Australian, or even a native of
India, can pay homage to woman
as woman and queen without
loss of self respect, whereas with a
man and a so-called king, a non
entity in all things but evil, the
situation is decidedly different.
Not even excepting those who
ruled through force or fear, Queen
Victoria exercised more influence
over Europe than any other sover-
eign or person. She was a good
and a prolific mother and was the
royal match maker of Europe. She
married her children to the best
advantage of her empire and had u
loyal friend in son or daughter in
every capital on the continent.
Through these family connections
she exercised an influence that was
very far-reaching and powerful.

In regard to the hazing methods
which have been in vogue at West
Point it must be said that the
whole situation is disgraceful, and
warrants congressional action to a
large extent. Boyish pranks are
expected in all institutions, public
or private, but when they assume
the bullying phase reached at the
United States military academy
then drastic measures are needed
for their suppression. The "school
of soldier" is supposed to polish
and make him gentleman of
honor, not a ruffian. Great SOL
diers owe their military education
=, to West Point, and for that reason
the nation has always been proud
of that institution

1t is satisfactory to know that
the criminals in the Paterson case
will be punished for their action,
but it is not likely that it will be as
severe as many persons believe
suitable to the crime. The ver-
dict of murder in the second de-
gree carries with it sentence of
long Imprisonment, and it is to be
hoped that under the New Jersey
practice the maximum of thirty
years will not be abbreviated. If
ever three degraded individuals de-
served hanging the defendants in
this case richly merit it.
