john is on the other side again this

Alva Adams didn't appreciate the
iull significance OF his own words
When he said that he was making
great sacrifice in accepting the nomi-
nation for governor. The way he is
being iiayed by Denver and Colorado
Springs newspapers and politicians
Is caution, and he certainly did
make sacrifice when he decided to
become the target for all those po-
liucal sharpshooters.
1t can be said without any preju-
dice or partiality that the local re-
publican ticket is gaining ground
every day, and those who have been
around say the same condition ex-
lists as to the state ticket. 1t is the
usual story OF the republicans get
ting a good ready for the race and
then come in with all their reserve
strength on the home stretch. Two
more weeks will see more and still
more OF such a change.
Let no political stump orator al
legc that wages have been reduced at

man can be found who will say that
he is getting as low as 70 cents
day Tor any kind OF work Calamity
shouting and threats don't make
votes any more in Colorado. We got
enough OF that in Waite's time ten

very well that they are telling cam

PROMPTED BY SPITE.

In the Morgan bill for the annex
tion of Panama is afforded an ex-
cellent illustration of the extremes to
which men are willing to go when
driven on by partisan hatred and
desperation. Morgan knows that the
bill has nc chance of passage and he
merely introduced it as an exposition
Of his idea of a joke and to ridicule
the entire Panama matter, but for
all that it must be taken seriously
to a certain degree as showing the
unreasonableness of the men and
party for which he stands. Knowing
himself and his party to be already
defeated, he allows his chagrin and
disappointment to govern his better
sense and judgment and is willing to
make a pitiable exhibition of himself
for the qualification of a narrow,
partisan spite. AS a last, expiring
effort on the part of the leader OF
those who have arrayed themselves
against the canal for no other reason
than that to a republican administra-
ton will be due the credit for the
first tangible step in the direction of
it's construction the Morgan bill will
always stand out conspicuously as
the elimination of political bitterness
and ~unrelenting enmity.

Is THERE PRosPERITY?-Ata mass
meeting held in Carnegie Hall, New
York, on Saturday evening, Senator
Rayner, of Maryland, denied the ex-
istence OF prosperity in this country.
There is no general prosperity among
the millions of those toiling for the ne
cesslties Of life, with whom high prices
are bane and not blessing. The
artificial prosperity that Republican
speakers are dwelling upon is all con-
fined within contracted quarters in com.
mercial centers, while the great body of
the American people are not nearly as
contented or prosperous as they have
been during Democratic ascendency."

to the fact that the above paragraph is
true in every respect. Now, after the
