1t is now quite evident that even
the power of money is limited.
What the Omitted Order of Sons of
the Barrel" wished and made every
effort to do is one thing and what it
really did do is quite another thing.
1t is gratifying to know that the
seventeen republican members Of the
lower houte Of the legislature, who
refused to 30 into a caucus with the
Wolcott faction, did SO from princi-
pal and not from influence brought to
bear upon them through the agency Of
Doodle. 1t was the firm stand against
those who represent oil that is COZ
rupt in politics, the evident desire to
best serve the people whom they rep
resent that, more than anything else,
caused the democrats to join hands
with them in the organization of the
house. Had they yielded, as they
might easily have done, the Teller
forces would have fought to the Bit
ter end-and in a just cause.

Group.

The peculiar cough which indicates
Group is usually well known to the
mothers of croupy children. No time
should be lost In the treatment of it,
and for this purpose no medicine has
received more universal approval
than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Do not waste valuable time in expert
menting with untried remedies, no
matter how highly they may be re-
commended, but give this medicine
as directed and all symptoms of Group
will quickly disappear. For sale by

Mr.. Carnegie's speech Mt the OPEN
ing of the Washington public library
was model of plainness, directness
and clearness. In it he set himself
squarelyonrecordas favoring libraries
because in cndowing them it is impos-
sible to pnuperize the people. No one
can derive benefit from library with
out work on his own part. and in
placing books within the reach of the
people Mr.. Carnegie only helps those
who are willing to help themselves.
He also served notice that his whole
time, attention and means We're ut
present devoted to this work and he
had none to spare on other philan-
thropies. He is cleaning up one field
pretty thoroughly and thereby makes
the work of others easier in other
aslds,

1t seems odd that the Denver Re-
publican does not refute the roasts
which it gave f. o. Wolcott from
1880 to 1897. Those old roasts are
now bobbing up. In those days it
characterized Mr.. Wolcott as u gang
ster, proved that he helped defeat the
republican ticket, advised him to re-
sign his office as senator, and stigma
tized him October 20, 1886 as a ''des-
picable misrepresentation" 1t is a
real naughty thing to thus refreshen
the Republicans memory as to what
it said in those days of the fiowery
long ago!
