THE COLORADO OUTRAGE.
A Corporation.Ridten Supreme Court
Arbitrarily Throws Out Whole
Voting Precincts.
WILL ALSO TRY TO SEAT PEABODY.

Denver, Colo, Dec. SALIVA
Adams, Democratic candidate for
Governor, has lost ,lS2 Of his
plurality of 5,27J in this county by
the action of the Supreme Court in
ordering the Election Commission
to eliminate five precincts from the
returns His plurality in the State
still stands about 10, 900.
BY the Supreme Courts orders,
the Democrats lose three Senators
who were apparently elected in this
city, aud the Republicans gain con.
troll of both branches OF the LegiS-
lature, with a majority of thirty on
joint ballot. They are planning
to submit to the Legislature evil
dence of frauds in Denver, and ask
that body to declare Governor Pea
body elected.
The Supreme Court is to be re
organized April 4 next by cOnsoli-
dalton with the Appellate Court,
and will consist of seven Judges,
two of whom are to be appointed
by the Governor, and teey need
Peabody to make appointments to
suit their aims.
Concerning the decision of the
Supreme Court the position of the
Democrats can be summed up in
the following editorial this morn
ing in the Denver Times, pub.
lshed by United States Senator T.
NJ. Patterson.
The Supreme Court elected these
Sena ,ors from the city and county
of Denver to day. The voters
elected Bedford, Delaney aud Me-
Cure to the Senate. Two of the
Judges of the Supreme Court. more
than II month after the election,
elect the candidates the voters re-
iected.
The court did this by bodily
throwing out the vote of enough
Denver precincts. This throwing
out was done in II proceeding to
which Judge Campbell admits the
candidates the people elected were
not parties, and in which they had
no opportunity to be heard.
The court was requested to
eliminate the honest votes from
those believed to be fraudulent in
the rejected precincts. 1t could
have been done with little trouble.
but to have done this would yet
have given the Democrats the GER
tificates of election. The two
Judges making the ruling held they
had no authority to say which
votes were good and which bad:
they had authority only to say that
neither the good nor bad should be
counted.

RlGMARoLE.
The Word Evidently Comes Down to
Us From "Ragman Rolls"

The Word Evidently Comes Down to
Us From "Ragman Rolls"
The word rigmarole is applied now
adays, with the contemptuous empha-
sis Of slang, to describe a long, unin-
telligible statement. At one time 1t
must have been a word of some weight,
for Byron in Don juan speaks thus
of it: His speech was q fine sample,
on the whole, of rhetoric, which the
learned call 'rigmarole.'"
1t was certainly associated with what
were known in law as "ragman rolls"
lengthy deeds with seals attached,
whose lack Of lucidity probably gave
rise to the words modern meaning.
Even papal bulls were so described
during the middle ages, while the rag
man roll by which Edward /. bound
the Scottish mobiles is of historical
celebrity. This was a cumbersome and
complicated deed, consisting of thirty
FIVE pieces of parchment sewn together.
There was a very old game called
ragman roll, in which the players pull
ed from a roll of parchment papers at
tached to seals hung outside, on which
various characters were inscribed.
The primary derivation of "ragman"
is very doubtful. In "Piers Plowman''
1t is applied to the evil one, and in
Icelandic 1t means M who is coward
Iy or confused.-London Answers.

A JAPANESE LEGEND.
Origin of "a strange Insect Found
Only In Hime1i.

Origin of a Strange Insect Found
Only In HimeJi.
Lafcadio Hearn gives a curious ira
dition about a strange insect which is
found only in Himeji, a pretty little
town near the center Of Japan. 1t
seems there once lived a rich noble in
a castle on the outskirts of the town
who was famous for the magnifcence
of his dishes, among which were ten
priceless bowls of solid gold. In his
employ was a maidservant Of good
family, whose name was O-Kiku, to
precious plate, but to her great despair
one day one of the gold dishes was
missing. She searched diligently in
vain, and, not knowing how to prove
her innocence, In her despair drowned
herself In a well, but her ghost returned
nightly to the spot and could be heard
counting the dishes slowly, with sobs,
.Ichi-mai, ni-mai, san-mai, yo-mai, go
mai, roku-mai, shichi-mai, hachi-mai,
ku-mai," up to nine, when there would
follow a loud, wailing cry, and the UNI
canny count began over again. At last
the uneasy spirit passed into the body
of an insect whose head somewhat re-
sembles a ghost with long, tousled
hair, and in that part of Japan it is
considered unlucky to cultivate the
chrysanthemum, as the girls name,
O-Kiku, means chrysanthemuln.

Keep Them Out of the Home and
Away From Friendships.
III love is to flourish between two
people they must each be slow TO take
offense and not only willing, but glad,
to pardon at the first and faintest sign
Of penitence; still more, to overlook
entirely the sin which has been q blum
der and an accident. Life and love
are in great part the art Of bearing
with other peoples shortcomings.
Every offender, whatever the ~offense,
is in the eyes of the law entitled to a
fair trial, and no one should be con-
demned unheard. The exercise of a
modicum of common and justice
would nip most quarrels, whether be
tween lovers or others, in the bud.
Some n has wisely said that scarcely
a novel was ever written which could
have run to the end If the hero and
heroine had been fully frank with one
another. Most discussions are founded
upon misunderstanding.
Much may be forgiven to those who
love much by those who return such
affection. Nor is it sufficient to for,
give without forgetting the offense.
The slate should be wiped clean and
the transgression be as though it had
never been.-Philadelphia Ledger.

sTENoGRAPHY.
sign Writing Was In Use Among the
Ancient Greeks and Romans.


The existence Of stenography among
the Greeks ard the Romans is certain.
The shorthand that they used was a
form of writing in which each word
was represented by a special sign, The
letters of the alphabet, with modifica-
tons, connected SO as to admit of great
rapidity of execution, formed the ele-
ments of these characters. They date
at least from the first century before
Christ.
In the second century A. ID. is found
the term ~seneiograph (stenographie
character) in the Greek orator, Flayius
Philostratus.
Origen of Alexandria QS5-254 A. ID
notes his ermons down in shorthand,
and Socrates, the ecclesiastical hlsto-
rian Of the fourth century, says that
part Of the sermons of st. John Chrys-
ostom was preserved by the same proc
ess. In the first century b. Q. a dis
course of Cato Uticensis, according TO
Plutarch, was taken down by short
hand reporters.
The development of shorthand was
due especially to Marcus Tullius Trio,
Born In Latium in 1913 b. G., Trio, who
was a slave, was brought up with
Cicero, who was some years mis- junior.
Freed, he became Cicero's secretary,
and in this capacity aided him greatly.
In the famous trial of Catiline (63 Il.

was at its height.-Chieago Tribune.

An interesting collection of invita-
lions to and from Benjamin FRANKLIN
during his visit to England is In the
University Of Pennsylvania library.
Among the letters to Franklin are
some from the peerage for great and
for little dinners, but perhaps the most
interesting is one from a gentleman
who described himself as in lodgings
and unable to entertain Mr.. Franklin
at his home. He therefore proposed a
visit to the Star and Garter, and then
went on to say that he would order a
dinner at a crown a head, evidently
expecting Franklin 10 bear his share.
