this morning are commenting on what
is believed to be the precariOus posi-

admits that kurOpatllin has at his dis

troops OF inferior qaulity; only $4,000

has 10000 first class troops, equal of
those in European armies.

CoLoRADo's SHAME.

There can be no question that this
state has fallen into the hands of
thieves. There is no need to mince
words, since the characterization
does not overstate.
1t would be unfortunate at any
time that such should be true. but
peculiarly so now. The national
election is past, and presumably
plans of government pretty well set
tied, so that no radical change un-
settling to business from that dir
ection need be feared. The crops
have been good. Labor troubles we
had hoped were in n fair way to
settlement. Great discoveries have
been made in the mineral fields,
huge enterprises are about to be
promoted, great conventions are
planned to meet in Denver next sum
mer and fall, discounting MANIFOLD
any previous influx of people to the
state.
So that all looks roseate. except
from a political view. The last
state election seems little more set
tied now than the night the polls
| closed. And whose is the fault?
The election, whether fraud here
and there existed or not, could have
been quickely settled but for the in
tervention of conspirators-not in
consequent manipulators, but of the
| gigantic sort who would steal an
entire state with as little compunc-
tion as the little fry would juggIe
a single precinct.
1t has been stated that not one
| person in ten is interested in poll
tics and that business men are
averse to its long-drawn-out discus
sion. particularly out of season.
However, in the light of what has
happened and is continuing to hap
pen in Colorado. this paper believes
il is the duty of every good citizen
to take heed of politics.
If the very people who think there
is Ito much politics" would take
more hand in it. there would quick
ly be a change for the better. II
the representative business and
/ professional men and property own
ers would devote more thought and
time to politics, perhaps the crimes
that are going on would be made
impossible and the business of the
state benefited many millions in
wealth,
When unprincipled adventurers,
whether coming in guise of paupers
or millionaires, gain control and 20
so far as to overthrow the expressed
Will of a sovereign people. 1t is time

The Engineers Ball.

The ball of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, Grand Valley
Division No. 4SS. which occurred
last night at the auditorium. was one
of the best social events ever given
by that splendid organization. The
committee having in charge the
work of making the event a success
worked hard and faithfully. and they
have the satisfaction of knowing that
every guest of their last night got
his or her full moneys worth in the
enjoyment of the evening.
For many years the division was
wont to give ball annually, but for
several years past their social events
of the character of last night have
been given intermittently, but never
have they been lacking enjoyment.
The arrangements throughout
were exceptionally good, and there
was no hitch whatever to mar the
pleasure of the evening. The music
was good. there was no lack of spir-
II, and to end all the ladies of the
auxiliary, in whose hands had been
given the matter of preparing the
supper, fairly outdid themselves in
supplying the wants of the inner
man.
The committee of arrangements
consisted of C. A. Trechter, Doug
Armstrong and Matt Flynn. On ac-
count of the absence of Mr.. Flynn,
the work mainly devolved on the
two first named engineers and they
| did it we'll. They have been active
in behalf of the ball since the mo-
ment it was decided to hold the
event, and their work did not cease
until the ball was over last night.
Taken as a whole, it is the univer-
sal Judgment of the members and
their friends that the Engineers new
er celebrated a more pleasant event.

Gave Him a Watch.

Monroe L. Allison left the city last
night for Goldheld, New. at which
wonderful camp or thereabouts he
proposes to make his future home.
Aware of the fact that Mr.. Allison
was severing his relations with
city, the growth of which he has
been more or less identified with al
most from the day the first settlers
cabin was built upon the townsite,
a number of his old-time friends
called upon him at his home last
night, on North Seventh avenue, to
bid him good bye and to wish him
prosperity wherever he may deter
mine to make his abode in the flu
ture.
Mr.. Allison served the city two
terms as mayor, served also in many
other honorable capacities. For

Grand junction Town & Improve
ment Company and was selected by

LET US GO BACK TO LAW.

II has been demonstrated times
without number the past two years
that law is a thing of little conse-
quence to the man who sits in the
executive chair of this state. To
him the constitution is a joke. His
course of procedure Is not laid down
by the statutes of the state, but by
the corporations of the state.
Law has been so lightly regarded
even citizens beyond reproach are
becoming more and more lax in their
attitude toward it. 1t is the pen
atty of bad examples set by those
in high authority. When these of
ficials spurn legal restraints. how
long will law remain in repute with
the rank and file?
Governor Peabody has done SO
many worse things during his term
of governor that the people are not
at all surprised at his refusal to call
a special election in the Seventeenth
senatorial district to elect a success
sor to the late Senator Buckley. The
probability that the district would
elect a democrat was good and ample
reason for him fatty refusing to do
that which the constitution peremp-
torily laid upon him to do.
Nobody is surprised. We are not
Mortified at this added example of
official dereliction. The people have
become accustomed to lawlessness in
! the statehouse, and the influences
which control him to follow their
caprices and find their law in what
/ ever shall inure to their own mater
ial and political advantage.
Can anyone imagine Governor
Adams similarly placed. refusing to
obey the laws mandates, even
though such action should terminate
his earthly life as well as his po-
litieal one? Can any executive of
proper honor do less than faithfully
execute the laws, and is he not de
serving of impeachment and ever
lasting contempt should he ruth
lessly disobey them?
The good citizens of the state
should not forget that this man. who
has debauched the gubernatorial of
flee. is on the cards to continue there
as reward for his perfidy. unless
enough honest republican Legislators
escape the collars of the corpora
tions and insist that right shall pre-
vail, the regularly and Enthusiastically
elected democratic governor will al
most surely be sacrificed.
II should be the business of every
law-loving republican in this stat,
incipiency. Every republican legis
lator should be instructed by his con
stituents that If he becomes a part,
to the conspiracy to continue Pea
body in the face of the returns. h,
may as well not return to his dis
trict. Corrupt leaders become yer,
