therefore entitled to pension, has caused
considerable discussion among legislators
and the legal fraternity. but if it gives
satisfaction to the Grand Army, it may
for time allay the movement for SER
vice pension, As the new ruling goes into
effect in April, the pension Office naturally
expects quite food of applications for
the extra allowance. 1t is too early to
say how much the aggregate will be an

Harmony. Unl,y and Energy Needed,

In tho das. and din raised by conflict
ing machines and leaders. it Is well for
every member Of tho Republican party In
Colorado to remember that there Is no
question Of principle or policy involved in
those petty sauahbles aboa, tho organi.a-
ton.
wo arc all thoroughly devoted to tho
success OF Republican principles and pol
tics In national and state affairs.
We all want 10 aid In tho election o!
Theodore Roosevelt, as president
We all heartily favor a unanimous In
dorscmcn, OF tho patriotic and praise
worthy course pursued by Gov. Peabody
and tho entire state administration In
maintaining tho sacred liberty Of all eiti-
xens TO go abou, their legitimate oeeupa-
tons without rnolostation on tho part Of
anybody. and very largo majority OF us
would Ike to see tho governor and his as
soeia.es in tho executive branch OF the
state government ronominatod and re-
elected this fall.
Why. then. should wo no. all como to-
gethcr like band Of brothers and labor
with harmony. unity and energy TO
achieve success at tho polls in November?
There Is no doubt tina. united Rcpub-
liean party can carry Colorado for tho
Republican ticket, presidential. congress-
ional. state and legislative. this year.
And II is equally unauestionablo tha. a
Republican Dol. Of any kind would insure
tho doplorable and dangerous triumph Of
the Democracy.
With such choice before US can any
honest Republican hesitate regarding his
plain and imperitiyo duty9
Outside Of Denver there is no visible
dissension or important difference Of
opinion among Republicans. and here
there is no just cause for a continuance
Of the petty strife that has gone on too

the Republican state central committee
has officially decided that the regular or

are affected. The first symptoms can be
readily noted by anyone Of average in.

QThere Is no disease known that gives 60
many plain warnings Of it's approach az
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be so quickly reached and checked,
If the medicine used is DR.. Boschee'e
German Syrup, which is made to cure
consumption.
git is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that won't quit,
the congestion. of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, &C.
