Acknowledgement of ignorant

Judge w. D. Grattan of San

ingtOn.
II formerly lived in the south, and
/ realized during my stay there that
never in the world would the people
south of the Potomac divide politi-
cally 80 long as the nomination of the
white race was in jeopardy. The
elimination Of the black vote is certain
to be followed by the disintegration
of the heretofore solid Democracy of

state Of things, and it will bring
good results to that section and to

WHO WILL 1T BE?

Who is to be the Democrat,
staDdard-bearer in 1901, is Il ques
ton which many of the papers
both Democratic and Republican
are discussing. The Louisville
CoCrier-Journal suggests these
possible notwithstanding. Parker
Of New York, Robert +. Pattisor
of p snnsylvania, and Thomas l.
johnson of Ohio. 1t thinks tin
nomination of either Of these mel
is contingent on his election as
governor Of his State. The Wash
ington Star commenting upon these
possibilities has this to say:
Judge Parker has declined to per
init the use of his name in connection
with the gubernatOrial race in New
York this year. As he appraised the
situation, there was snail hope OF
reaching Albany, and, even if he
reached Albany, a smaller one OF
reaching Washington with David b.
Hill across his path. Tom Johnson 5
chances to be governor of Ohio, with
John r. Mclean across his path, are
too remote for serious consideration,
while Mr.. Pattison's third race for
the gOvernorship of Pennsyly ania is
being made under conditions differing
u aterially from those that existed on
the two occasions when he won His
opponent this time is man of ability
and high reputation, and Republican
divisions seem to have been healed by
his nomination. But Mr.. Pattison,
even with three elections to the
governorship of Pennsylvania to his
credit would hardly be taken by the
Democracy for its Presidential cali
didate. On national issues Pennsyl-
vania is Republican by a majority
approximating a quarter of mil
lion"
1t is impossible to foresee
the condition two years hence.
No man thought that Bryan could
be the candidate a month before
his nomination. Cleveland only
loomed up as Presidential posi-
bility when he was elected Governor
of New York by an overwhelming
majority. Some man now not
thought of may come to the front
within the next two years and
receive the nomination by almost
reclamation. Webster, Clay, Cal
noun, and Blain, were all turned
Town for men who were not con-
'picuOus enough to arouse personal
opposition. 1t is not always the
most prominent man in a party |

The Congressional campaign in
Virginia is reachinga very interest
ing stage. The Democratic nomi-
nations have been made in all Of
the districts, except the Third,
where the primary will be held on
September IL; but it is in the
course to be adopted by the Re-
publicans that the greatest interest
is centered. The leaders of that
party have been somewhat divided
on the question Of making nominal
tions, and several district COM
mittees had decided not to put up
candidates. But the recent declara-
JlOn of President Roosevelt Of a
fight being made in every district
in Virginia will have the result of
forcing a battle in practically every
section. The committee of the
Tenth district has already recon
sidered its decision not to call a
convention, and will make nOmi-
nation.

The coal strike that Is now in
progress in the anthracite regions
of Pennsylvania is one of the most
remarkable contests between labor
and capital that has ever taken
place in this country. 1t has now
been in progress for nearly four
months, during which time about
one hundred thousand men have
been idle and fully four hundred
thousand persons have been directly
affected by it. There have been
fewer disorders than during any
similar trouble Of the kind, and the
families affected by it have suffered
less than on any similar occasion.
Indeed, there have been no such
accounts of suffering as were re-
ported in previous strikes, which
fact shows that the men were
better prepared for the struggle
than were those formerly engaged
in these contests, and that a better
system Of administering relief has
been in operation. An immense
of money has been required
to maintain this immense army of
idle men and their families, all IF
which shows the great strength Of
organized labor in our country, rs
that is the source from which has
come the money necessary to
so many people.

Gunnison county is one locality
in which the homeseeker and the
capitalist can find practically un-
limited opportunities for settle
ment and investment. In our pub
lie and patented lands, containing a
world of resources, are wonderful
fields for both the settler and invest
or. The land yields ready growth to
hardy products, and for stock rails
ing these ranges stand unequaled.
We have a superabundance of the
best and purest of water for all
purposes. We have agriculture,
stock growing, gold, silver, copper,
lead and iron mines; we have coal
to burn and three kinds that will
burn; the greatest veins of coking
and anthracite coal in the west.
We admit being shy on orange
orchards and palm trees, but in
the worth of our largely diversified
natural resources and climate, we
are world beaters.

want to acquaint them with what we
consider one of the very best remedies
on the market for coughs, colds, and

We have used it with such good results
in our family SO long that it has become
a household necessity. By its prompt
use we haven't any doubt but that it has

The foundation of everything
Colorado has, and of ali property
values in the state, is in the mines
and their product, and it is passin Z
strange that the lower body of our
Legislature should be so prejudiced,
so unjust and so lacking in eco
nomic good serse as to counten-
ance the assessing of mines for
taxation purposes at their full cash
vaMe. The plan that has been
practiced in this state OF taxing the
output of mine, instead of trying
to put value upon the property
itself, is undoubtedly the wise and
sensible course to pursue. No
other plan is practicable under the
circumstances. If the mines have
not been taxed fairly there are
many ways to increase the amount
paid by them without resorting to
such a radical change as is en-
bodied in the amendment to the
revenue bill as passed by the house
on Tuesday last, and which borders
on confiscation in terms,

Reliable reports indicate that
Spain is now on the verge of a
revolutionary outbreak, and that
another act in the drama of disin-
tegration will be swiftly played.
In the days of their ascendency the
people of Spain have been unduly
proud, supercilious and cruel. In
the days CT their decline such a
people are likely to precipitate an

Prince Henry of Prussia lacks
the depth, shrewdness and capacity
of his brother, the Kaiser, but he
embodies many more elements of
popularity, and during his present
visit to this country is bound to
gain the respect and esteem of the
American people and thus
strengthen the cordial feeling
which exists between the United
States and Germany. Prince
Henry is idolized by all classes at
home and there must be something
of great worth in his character to
occasion such homage.

THE BOY WITH THE CAN.

The boy with the can is the man
with the gun, in embryo. The
saloon is a bad kindergarten, what
ever else may be said of it as col
lege or postgraduate university.
Parents who send their children to
the maltine school will sooner or
later find them attending it of their
own accord, and the youngsters
will not play "hooky" very often
after their enrolment. The in
structors who sit aboutround tables
and deliver lectures from schooners
and stems are not calculated to in
still noble thoughts or elevating
precepts into the minds of the
children who gather at their feet
and drink in the words that fall
from their lips, mingled with
tobacco juice. The history they
teach is profane; their lenses are
hard and their moods ugly. Their
arithmetical problems are worked
out in chalk on the card table, or
marked down on the slate behind
the bar. Their geography extends
to half seas over. Their reading
is from the Police Gazette and
their writing is unfit for publica-
ton. The only root extracted from
their cubes of dice is evil.
Checkers and chips and billiard
balls are poor substitutes for sloyd.
Greasy cards are improbable
pages to be studied or hurried over
Chasing the can, rushing the growl-
er and similar athletics of the al
ley do not build up strong bodies
and sound minds. They are fore
runners of slugging matches and
dog fights. The father who ma
triculates his boy in this school of
depravity may expect him to grad
uate with high dishonor as Master
of Crime.
The boy who first finds an open
way into the saloon as an envoy
from home, will rapidly learn to
travel the can route for himself
and the comrades who are waiting
down the alley. If the barkeeper
becomes particular, not from con
scientious scruples, but for precau-
tionary reasons. the boy will readi-
ly provide a written order which
will serve the purpose for repeated
use until the paper is worn out.
With the license, the authenticity
of which will never be inquired
into, he and his chums can buy
beer galore whenever they can find
a nickel or dime.
If the law as it now stands per
mits such a farce with tragedy
certain in its last act-it should be
amended SO as to prevent such
dlsreputable subterfuge. Children
with or without verbal messages or
written orders from the homes,
should be kept out of saloons, and
the parent who attempts to use his
child as beer messenger should
be punished as well as the saloon
keeper who is particeps criminis
