WABASH LABOR
TROUBLE SETTLED

Chicago, April THE settlement of
the Wabash officials with their en-
ployes, by which the latter get an in
crease of twelve to fifteen per cent.
in wages, is important not only be-
cause it adjusts a controversy that has
been hanging fire for four months. but
because of the influence 1t will have in
bringing a settlement of wage differ
ences on competing lines. When these
competing lines shall have met the
concessions made by the Wabash, one
of the most widespread and important
labor movements in the history of the
country will be practically at an end.
One of the conditions of the Wabash
settlement is that the wage schedule
east of the Mississippi shall be raised
to that west of it, twelve to fifteen
per cent increase, as soon as compet-
ing lines in the same territory woul9
grant similar increases.

LEGISLATURE is
BEHIND TIME

Denver. April AT o'clock this
morning the Legislature, which should
have adjourned at midnight under the
time limit, was still in session.
The Senate refused to concur in the
House amendments to the appropria-
tion bill and both Houses were in ses-
sion at a. M. without prospect of a
compromise.
So backward was the Legislature and
so doubtful did it appear that the long
appropriation bill would be passed, that
Governor Peabody remained in his
Office all night with call for an extra
session all prepared. He said he would
not call an extra session, however, un-
less the long appropriation bill failed
Of passage.

Changes az the Capitol.

The Denver Republican of April 1st
says:
This will be moving day at the cap
itol. antedating by a full month the
customary day for that interesting
event of the spring months. From the
court upon the highest floor to the or
binary appointive offices in the base
ment changes are scheduled for to-day.
In many of them all the formal part of
turning over the affairs of the offices
were gone through last evening. leav-
ing only the opening of the Office by
the new hand for to-day.
The term Of Judge Adair Wilson of
the Court of Appeals expired at mid
night, he retiring in effect yesterday
afternoon When Judge j. p. Maxwell
will take his place depends upon the
Senate, which has the power to confirm
him.
Louis S. Carpenter, the new state
engineer. does not intend to take charge
of his Office until either Saturday or
Monday. His term is presumed to COM
mence with this day, but he has other
business on hand that will keep him
busy for day or two. j. M. Wood
ward, the new game and fish commits
sioner expects to take Office this morn
ing and will introduce his force of
bushy-whiskered deputies to the world.
In the basement there will be many
changes. Adjutant General Gardner
locked up his desk last night and gave
the key to Adjutant General-elect
Sherman Bell, who will open Office this
morning The minor officers under the
adjutant general were all appointed
some time ago and have. been familiar
izing themselves with the affairs of the
department. Clarence l.. Hagar will
take Office as secretary of the State
Board of Charities and Correction, re-
placing Clarence l.. Stonaker. Mrs.
Lucy Harrington will probably remain
as stenographer in this Office.
Mrs. Mary Wright will assume the
office of dairy commissioner. taking the
place held for two years by T. l.. Mon
son. Her daughter has been selected
as her deputy. Charles Taylor will re-
place Thomas j. Kane as inspector of
boilers.
No change will be made in the Office
of the commissioner of mines Lyman
j, White, the new commissioner. has
informed both Mr. Lee. the old COM
missioner, and the attorney general
that he believes his term begins with
to-day. but has been unable to convince
those authorities that it really does.
In addition to the clerks he previously
announced he has appointed Mrs. Nick
erson and Bert Canning to hold posi-
tions under him.
S. H. Wood also takes his new posi-
ton as secretary to Governor Peabody
to-day. He spent part of yesterday
with outgoing Secretary Maxwell ia
miliarizing himself with his new du-
ties.

COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
AND DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL

The Senate has confirmed the ap-
pointment of F. H. Sutherland as
member of the State Board of Dental
Examiners.
The Senate concurred in the House
amendments to the bills attaching part
of Adams county to Yuma and Wash
ington counties. The terms of the
changes contemplated by the measures
include payment by Adams and Yuma
counties of the expense of the division
election. Adams county is to receive
all 1908 taxes on property within its
newly defined boundaries.
When the Drake antitrust bill came
up for third reading in the Senate,
the spectators were furnished with
plenty of oratory. This is the bill
backed by the National Live Stock As
sociation, and similar measure is
pending In many other state Legisla-
lures. There was much opposition to
the measure, those fighting it moving
to recommit with the idea of smother
ing it. Senator Cornforth made a
strong speech, in which he said that
the question was not party matter.
but that all hinged upon the idea of
you let us alone and we will let you
alone" He said that If the bill could
be amended so that it would not hit
certain" combinations, those combi-
nations would favor the bill. The
measure finally passed, by vote of 20
to 13.

NIHILISM IN RUSSIA.

Nibfism shows no signs OF abatement in Russia. BY the "a
madam files W. have a telegram announcing the arrest, at St PETERS
burg. OF two artillery officers, Grgoref and MolostvOv, charged
with conspiracy to murder high officials. GrgoreH told the exam
ming Judge that he had decided to shoot the Procurator OF the Holy
SYNOD. Pobedonetzef, on the day OF the burial OF the Minister OF
the Interior. NJ. Sipiaguine, but when he saw the feeble old man
he changed his mind. The other officer, Molostvov made a similar
confession.
Pobedonetzef is the bette nor of the Nihilists. He IS the cher
nu1ar of Russian abso1utism, the man who buttresses the Gar 5
authority with the power of the Greek church. When the father OF
the present Gar succeeded Alexander II, he was minded to continue
the great reforms begun by the 1iberator OF the serfs but Pobedonet-
Jeff nv an impassioned appeal in council, persuaded him to rule
with the iron hand. This old, crafty and far-sighted priest
Is the evil genius OF Nicholas II as well. Whatever OIL
reaction has come to Russia, whatever laPses into medlae-
val functions of church and state have occurred within the
past two decades may be traced to PobedonetzeH. 10 khl INN mas
been the strong desire o. the Nihists whom his policy has done so
much to breed.
That he still lives is extraordinary, for Nihiists are legion; that
he NAV be stricken down at any time is to be expected in such a
country IS Russia. Yet it is doubtful that his murder would &C
compish anything for liberty; it would probably be the means OF
raising more defensive bayonets about the institutions which the
Procurator of the Holy Synod has done sc much to strengthen and
buiId I'D. The assassin never makes things better; since Caesar S
time he has played into the hands of the reactionaries. Often IS II
the manner of Abraham Lincolns death, murder makes things worse
for those whom it is designed to benefit.
But the hour of Russian autocracy must strike, oon o
later. That is the order of the universe. Perhaps defeat in w will
be the means of reform; perhaps a Gar will be born who IS great
enough to accept a constitutional guidance.

NEVADA REDIvIVUs.

The statement that Nevada is to have a second Comstock IN
the new mining camp of Tonopah, revives interest in a common
wealth which has been of little use for three decades past except to
elect United States senators-which service, we believe, was what II
was organized to perform. Nevada has an area OF about halt that
of the German Empire and a population not much greater than that
of Honolulu. counting Indians. Yet if a 1.-THE OF its mineral wealth
was in sight, Nevada would fairly overflow with people. Onfortu-
natelv the wealth of the State is buried deep in rock and the pros
pector often fares little better than the geologist whom a cynic com
pared to the insect on the back Of an elephant trying to determine
the structure below by the phenomena OF the hide.
Now and then, however, some one, usually a "tendertoot, ere
aes a good mining proposition by a luck fnd; and Nevada seems u
have been benefited once more by such an occurrence. No miner
found Tonopah. No miner in his senses would prospect or a lava
cap forty feet thick; it needed green hand, one OF those irresponsible
and now Nevada hopes to experience again the joys and the gains
of the roaring Seventies"
Here's hoping that she may. Here's hoping that Nevada may
so develop along the line of its peculiar industry as to become a great
and busy State, an almoner of national wealth and a contributor to
the prosperity of the Pacific Coast. The wish is not wholly unselhsh,
for IS the Coast gains in population. riches, area of settlement and
extent of WELD, Hawaii will also become more prosperous. The west
will then be to us what the east is to Bermuda and the West Indies.
Perhaps the Nevada boom will be but a temporary one as was
that following the Comstock discoveries. But even in such event a
single great find must stimulate an interest in and inspire a search
for precious metals in Nevada and elsewhere IN the Coast which
cannot in one way or another, fail to have significant results.

1hE SPIRIT OF WORSHIP.

In a recent magazine a character in fiction was made to say that
one can feel the spirit of worship in a pagan temple as easily as III
a Christian church. From this idea there has been some dissent
come natural shrinking among those who cannot find God in all
nature but look upon Him without, perhaps, defining or analysing the
belief as the exclusive possession of Christian sects.
But one NAV not mingle with sincere believers anywhere with
ot see;ng q m sign of the Eternal Presence. Even the survivor
elmer seems r. be a magnet towards whom the rays OF Divine SYM
patbv converge; and a man Of sensibiity cannot stand among
heather at their PRAYERS without uncoverng as if in the influence OF
something Of invisible majesty and power. An eager, silent, rapt
tLronq of Buddhists, crowding into a temple in japan, kneeGng, men,
women and children together, creates IN atmosphere OF sancny
which Is not to be found in the languid, perfunctory, spring-bon-
neted and broadclOthed gathering before the altar or pulpit OF a
fashionable church. 1t almost seems a 5 if worship OF any kind
reached. bv whatever devious route, the Throne OF Grace; while the
mere form OF worship, even when directed to the Christians God, is
but an idle ceremony which brings no answer from the skies.

 How Lincoln Escaped.
 When General Shields challenged Abra- ham Lincoln on account of a letter in newspaper reflecting on the general, which Lincoln had avowed to save the real writer from the consequences, the latter, having the choice of weapons, elected to fight with the broadsword. Not that he was skilled in it's use, but because he had such a tremendous lengtn of arm, combined with great muscular power, that he calculated to be able to chop off his adversary's hand before he could treat him to a scientific thrust Lincoln was first on the ground, and when Shields ar- rived was hard at work with hatchet clearing away the bushes. 1t was decided to sink a plank perpendicularly in the ground, leaving four feet of 1t protruding from the earth--the combatants to fight up to, but not beyond it. Shields exam ined his swords and then looked doubting- ly at Iincolns arm. Noting the look, Colonel Hartin told the pair not to make fools of themselves; and, like wise men, they concluded they would not. but play the game of ''old sledge" to decide who should pay the expenses of the trip-a pleasure that fell to Shields.
 Two editors once made fools of them selves to an unlimited extent It came about through the editor of the Catalina Democrat declaring in a leader that the caitiff editor of the Catalina Whig was bigamist. and the gentleman resenting the calumny by pulling the Hbeler's nose in the public street. The mayor kindly un- dertook to arrange for the difficulty being settled in a proper way and the two ed- itors were soon esconsed. rife In hand, be- hind two trees In q wood For two mortal hours they lodged and peeped, neither caring to fire, lest by missing he should leave himself at hls enemy's mercy. Then the rain came down and the Whig's edi- tor discovered that 1t had saturated his powder ''Is your powder wet?" shouted he to his rival.
 NO" answered the other.

 "Stop!' cried the appalled, man-"stopi Let's have a barley! You are a durred good fellow; suppose. instead of shooting me, we go into partnership"
 "All right" replied the Democrat; and they returned home together
 Of course Lthe editor of the Whig had to set himself right with his subscribers, which he did by telling them that his gun was wet and wouldn't go off. To which his new partner responded in his paper with NO more wouldn't mine."

 The journalist would have had no cause to abuse himself had he displayed the forethought of the French critic Saint Beuve who, having to meet M. Dubois on a wet morning. appeared on the ground carrying in one hand a sixteenth century hintlock pistol and in the other a nine teenth century umbrella, which he un- furled as he took up his position. M. Du- bois, backed by both seconds, protested against the umbrella, nut to no purpose. Saint-Beuve said he had no objection to being killed, but decidedly objected to getting wet through; so they let him have his way, and the duel went on until each combatant had fired four shots without damaging anybody. and all parties were satisfied. especially SaintBeuve, who marched off without a hole either in his body or his umbrella.

THE LAST MAN.
BY PAUL COOK.

had reduced the population of Petrax to a mere handful These gathered around the great chemical furnaces to await the end. They were all silent now. and one by one they sank down. A few impa- tient ones cheated death by destroying themselves.
 The cycle of years was reduced to months and then to days as the Engla- nians steadily dwindled away. It was the end of the thirty-ninth year and the limit of life was at hand. Of millions there remained two survivors. During the long, bitter vigils of the nights all had perished but these, more vigorous than ther fel- lows The fourth day of the eighth month was dawning. As the two Engla- nians staggered to their feet the uncer- tain light of day was drifting down. All about them was a silent city of dead. Awe-struck they crouched together near the furnace but so great was their terror that they dared not speak. Before the close of day one Englanian remained alone in Petrax. As the limbs of his companion stiffened with the cold he sprang to his feet with a wild haunting cry. He might shout again and again but no voice would answer. Around him reigned fearful silence and he was one living in a world of dead. His body felt as if pricked with a thousand needles Looking up through the srystal dome the last man saw the red disc of the sun and the stars twinkling in the darkening sky. Then shuddering with horror he burst in- to pea1s of laughter that re-echoed in the silent streets of Petrax. The last man was mad.
 Ages passed The two plains of ice met and profound darkness, save for the faint light Of the distant stars, reigned in the universe A number of black balls re- volved silently around larger and cen tral sphere shrouded in eternal night.
