The taxpayers have received their
Christmas present already. Yes, our
1903 tax bill will be larger than ever
Yet the wire pullers told us consolida-
ton would be the direct cause of max
Ing our tax bills smaller, but what did
1T do? They tell us that this year we
will be obliged to pay four mills on
the dollar more than ever before. Well,
isn't that nice how do you do?
Doesn't it make you feel like Kicking
yourself when you let lot of poll
ticians hoodwink you like that? Hood
winking is bad business; it doesn't pay
in the long run: we always believe the
truth is best therefore you can rely
on what we say. For instance, we
wouldn't dare say our &c butter is
the best in the city for the price if it
wasn't true. Neither would we dare
say our tea and coffee is better than
the other fellows sell if we didn't know
what we were talking about If the
reader of this adj imagines we do not
sell the very best coffee in Connecticut
all you've got to do is buy pound
and see how Your mind has been hood
winking your body. Remember

A VITAL QUESTION.

A national conference of EN-
ployers and employees is to be held
at Minneapolis next September.
The possibilities OF such move
ment are very great, and the ablest
and most conservative of each side
to the dispute should be selected.
Some method of settling any labor
disputes without needless friction is
the greatest problem Of the present
time, and as compulsory arbitra-
ton seems the most expeditions
and reasonable solution, it is to be
hoped that question will be thor
oughly canvassed.
The lawyers have said compul>
sorry arbitration is unconstitutional
and if such is the case we had bet
ter get to work and make it con-
stitutional; for it is easier to put a
patch on our fundamental laws
than is to rear new form of gov>
ernment.
That is what the labor question
means if it is not soon met intelli-
gently, honestly and fairly.

New Schedule Of FreiQht Rates.

A new schedule OF freight rates has
gone into effect and there is slight re-
duction, amounting to between 10 and
cents on nearly all classes Of freight.
On frst class there is reduction OF IL
cents per hundred from Denver; on Sec
ond class there is reduction of 5 cents
per hundred.
The rates on third class and fourth
class remain the same and slight re-
duction OF cents per hundred is given
on fif h claes rates.
All the rates numbered by letter have
a slight reduction.
On -four and feed in car load lots there
is a reduction OF 10 cents per hundred in
first and second class rates
In the very particular classes which
carry the major portion OF the goods to
this city, little or no reduction is made.

IN OUR JUDGMENT

Our opinion OF such outrages as
were perpetrated on Pinon mesa
last Saturday night has not changed
from what it was in the early oos
when the Reed sheep were butch>
cred in the Plateau country. We
publish today comments from two
Of Denver's influential papers.
These only echo the cry of con>
demnation being sent up from all
portions OF this state. If any one
has an idea that the good citizens
of Colorado condor such overt acts
of cowardice, perpetrated upon a
woman, they have poor idea Of
the manhood of Colorado.
1t is up to the government Of this
county to hunt down the killers OF
those sheep, until every one Of those
concerned is apprehended and pun>
lShed. we believe IN the rights OIL
both the cattle owners and the
owners Of goats and sheep; but no
right Of squatter sovereignty would
give the cattlemen Of this or any
other section the right to kill and
murder on private property.
If the district attorney Of this
district and all other peace officers
of this county do not make the
most strenuous efforts to run down
the night marauders, this people
and the county government Of this
county will be held censurable by
the people OF the state at large.

PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS

The situation in Pennsylvania
ii so far as it relates to the Re-
publican nomination for Cover
nor and consequent control of
the organization grows more in
teresting daily. Until short
time ago,it was generally believed
that John P. Elkin would be the
candidate named almost unani-
mously by the State convention.
Mr.. Elkin is Attorney General
under the present administration
and has been an open and avowed
candidate for many months. AS
he had alwaysbeen staunch and
loyal follower of the machine
and had back of him all the
leaders, every one thought the
machine was with him. But the
undoubted boss, Senator Quay,
has publicly said Mr.. EIkin can
not be nominee, and most of
the leaders have followed his ex-
ample or are keeping quiet. A
few, however, have decided to
stand by their first choice, and
feel confident that with the pres
tige of large number of deli
gates already instructed for
Elkin that they can yet win.
AS there is in the Republican
party an element opposed to
Senator Quay, that was strong
enough in 1899 to preventhise elec.
ton to the Senate, there are now
three factions, two of which are
anti Quay. The Senator is an
astute leader, and undoubtedly
has something up his sleeve, and
we would be much surprized to
see him beaten. The strength
Of the Elkin faction lies in its
knowledge of the methods of
Quay and its undoubted intention
to use any and all means to win.
By the country at large the
