!. CRUCIAL MOMENT.

= There come times in the history OF
Governments when attempts to resist
the we'll defined popular will are alike
futile and mischievous.
In 1916. strong Tory majority
was elected to the British House OF
Commons. That majority decided
TO oppose the repeal Ofthe then exist
ing Corn Laws, but in the same year
a famine arose in Ireland and with tia
tremendous uproar and demand for
the repeal of the duties on bread
stuffs. In response to that demand,
Sir Robert Peel, the Tory Minister,
and a portion of his followers, Joined
bandswith their heretofore opponents
and the Corn Laws were repealed. The
Bristish Judgment has confirmed
that action by never attempting to
reenact thoaaapx4- #uTsE s
llpst A tS,dd years ago, when Yellow
tower was raging in Mississippi, a
Keutuckian offered a bill in Congress
repeating the protective duty on
Ouinine, claiming it to be tax on
life and health. The bill met with
little opposition and soon became a
law.
When the present Congress met,
alarmed at the great tariff agita-
ton, Republican leaders decided to
resist any and every effort to amend
the Djngiey Act, but as in the past,
public sentiment is more potential
than party programs. There is no
doubt that a large majority OF the
people of this Country are getting
tired OF the present tariff laws and
sooner or later they will make a gen
eral demand for an immediate and
unconditional repeal OF the long list
Of protective duties on meats and
poultry, as proposed in the resolu-
tion OF Representative McDermott OF
New Jersey. These duties are an
obstruction to trade and should be
repealed. They create an artificial
scarcity and thereby aid the Beef
Trust to fix the prices of meat so
high that the average working man
and his family are unable to secure
enough to grease their lips much less
satisfy their hungry stomachs.
1t is clearly in the power OF the
Republicans in Congress to give these
poor laborers relief. The question is,
will they do it?
Campaign orators may talk OF
prosperity and political clubs may
paint pictures OF full dinner pals
upon their campaign transparencies
but mark the prediction, unless some
measure of reliefis given to the work
ing classes very soon, the next Con-
gress will be controlled by the Demo
cratic party. When you strike a
mans stomach, you arouse aim all
over. When you take LIS bread and
his meat away from him, you make
an enemy ont of him.
With these conditions confronting
them, the Republicans would act
wisely we're they to at once cor
rect the many glazing defects in the
tariff law.

coal are worked, varying from four to
twenty feet in thickness, there being
at one point near Durango eighty feet
OF coal in 100 of strata. The Tongue
Mesa field between the Cimarron riv-

Montrose county, contains two work
able beds of Ignite coal from FIVE to
twenty feet thick. At a number of
places through the western part of
the state south of the Grand river
drainage, coal beds are exposed, but
they are not of economic value. The
coal fields OF Colorado contain every

mite to the equally typical anthracite.
The area of the anthracite product
probably does not exceed eight square
miles.

STATE MONEY FOR
PARTY PURPOSES
House Appropriates Cash To Circulate
Campaign Literature.

CDenvei Republican,
The fusion house of Representatives
now in extra session has done many
things that might be questioned and
have been wondered at by long
suffering public, but it was left for
yesterdays session to go into the bust
ness of printing campaign literature.
| The members voted to expend 5000
of the states money to spread abroad
resolutions drawn up by the Old
Soldiers Bryan club of this ity, an
organization that has never yet been
able to muster more than half doz-
en- members when it appeared on pub
lie parade.
on Friday Mr.. Ballinger offered,
| and the house adopted, resolutions
drawn up by the Old Soldiers Bryan
| club opposing the currency bills now
| proposed in congress. These resolu-
| tions are filed with the doctrine of
Democracy and urge the representa-
| tiyes in congress to defeat II posi-
BILE all currency Legislation.
Not content with indorsing the rcso-
lutions. the house took up the matter
yesterday morning, and proposed on
motion of Mr. Ballinger to go step
further, and print 900 copies of these
for the purpose, it was acknowledged
by Mr.. Ballinger, to aid the Bryan
club. which has not money enough to
circulate its views.
The Republicans fought the motion
| to use openly a part of the states
i funds for purely party purposes, and
Mr.. Dickson made a determined
speech against the motion. He de-
clared that the resolutions were in
tended for distribution in next falls
campaign.
IF you want to appropriate money
to aid the Bryan club" he said. do
so. | am opposed to this from start
to finish"
! Mr.. Dickerson said that he did not
believe that resolutions would have a
particle OF effect upon the members
in congress. He continued: Let
the Rocky News print these resolu-
tions and save the state some m oney.
1t is evading its share of taxes any
way"
| Mr., Burwell and Mr.. Pitschke de-
MED that it was party movement,
and the latter said the object of the
printing of the campaign literature
was educational. He said that many
of the Eastern people needed enlight-
enment.
Mr.. Dickerson asked If he referred
to Colorado's representatives in con
gress.
The discussion continued for thirty
minutes, when the motion prevailed
by purely party vote, and the reso-
lutions were ordered printed. The
house then. having accomplished this
valuable bit of Legislation for the
benefit of the Democratic party, took
a recess until 2 O'Clock in the after
noon.

OBSERVATIONS
BY SARAH B. HARRIS

personal advantage, this love for the
ism. In the president we revere
America incarnate. Every honor laid
upon the president is an honor to each
one of us. We are sorry for the other
boys who are i'll and who cry out in
delirium for a drink of water. If it
chance to be our neighbours boy or our
friends We are very sorry. But every
body hopes that the presidents boy
will get Well. Everybody looks first
in the morning paper to see how he is.
Not that the dear lad is better or
cleverer or any dearer to his father
and mother than thousands of other
boys sick of fever in this country,
but he is the presidents son and as we
whom many of us have never seen, We
hope for the recovery. of his Oldest
son. The Jewelers. who deprecate the
universal sympathy which has been ex-
pressed for the president and his fam
lily fail TO consider that the sympathy
and hope are part of that patriotism
that beats in the pulses of the Ameri-
can people and of that humanity that
instantly responds to suffering when
ever the American yisualizes the suf-
ferer. The thousands of other sick
boys We do not see, we know of them
only in general, and general truths
never make a convert. Even God had
to become human and take the name
and aspect of a man before his Great
ures could sympathize with him and
love him.
