Denver. Dec. 20.-The burning ques-
tion in Colorado is STILL Who was
elected governor?
There were extensive frauds COM
mitted in Denver, in fact. the most ex-
tensive in its history. There were
frauds committed in three other coun-
ties that will add materially to the
chances of Mr.. Peabody. There seems
to be little doubt, If the rotten pre-
cincts are thrown out In Denver and IN
the other counties where bogus ballots
were cast and fraud ran rampant, that
Mr.. Adams apparent plurality Will be
wiped of the records. but it is neces-
sary to show clearly and conclusively
that this is the case.
While it will be impossible to open
all the ballot boxes in all the tainted
precincts in the state and settle the
matter by bringing the voters to ident-
ify and swear as to the correctness OF
each ballot. yet such course would
Be the only one to afford an opportu-
nifty to do the two candidates exact
Justice.
The next best thing to do is to con-
slider the evidence given from various
precincts before the courts, to investi,
gate so far as possible in a reasonable
time. by legislative committee and
come to a conclusion, and this is the
course that will be pursued beyond a
doubt.
Legislative Investigation.
The Supreme Court has enough
contempt cases from Denver alone to
keep it going for two months or more
according to the statement of promi
nent Republican attorney.
The precincts thrown out by this
court, If any more are thrown out. will
be those which it has investigated in
the course of the contempt proceed
ings. These will not be very many, In
fact but mere handful, by the time
the Inauguration day arrives for the
next governor, which falls on January
10th next
The throwing out of fraudulent re
turns or returns from stuffed ballot
boxes by the Supreme Court will not
therefore, settle the question as to who
is governor. The action of that court
together with the evidence which il
has collected, will, of course, be con
sidered by the Legislature, which by
law canvasses the vote and deter
mines who is elected to the various
state offices from the governor down.
The committee appointed to investi
gate the matter will have to consider
an enormous mass of fraud evidence
from Denver and may determine tt
open all the ballot boxes in that city
II this is done the conclusion of the
investigation will not be reached fol
several weeks, and in the meantime

ity of Mr.. Adams. 1t would therefore
be manifestly unfair that he should be
given the Office until the matter Is
fully Investigated and determined by
the Legislature. which has the sole
right to settle the matter
Suppose Mr.. Peabody holds over and
after the investigation is completed
say some time in February. the Legis-
lature concludes that Mr.. Adams is
elected. Would the acts of Mr.. Pea
body. while holding over, be legal?
This and other similar questions can
not be answered off hand.
It Is believed that the solution of
this problem lies in having Lieutenant
Governor Mcdonald. about whose cleo
tion there is no question, act as gov
ernor until the matter is decided.
One thing is certain, at the present
time. the evidence so far as divulged

slightest disposition on the part of the
Republican managers to take snap
Judgment or use unfair or unjust
means to settle the matter. The gen

ers is that the party will not under any
circumstances adopt the arbitrary and
brutal methods which were employed
by the last Democratic Senate in un-

WHEAT is
ADVANCING
And Bulls Predict It Will Reach
$500 Per Bushel Before
May.

/ Chicago, Sept. IA" wheat at 81 8
bushel before next May was roaIed
by the bulls today on the BoaId oil
Trade. At the opening of the market
there was an excited demand for
wheat with few traders ventuIing to
sell. The price for May delivery was
J from 81. ll15 to IL, and for delivery
for the present month from 81 O95s 10
S1.0S. Those who wished to buy
shouted bids of &c bushel above the
prices prevailing at the close of the
market Saturday and the quantity
that any one would sell. even at such
a tempting advance. was extremely
limiteu.
The Agricultural Bureau at Wash
ington. through information furnished
by its army of crop reporters scattered
throughout every wheat growing
county in the country. issued report
Saturday afternoon that, according to
the bulls, confirmed the worst fears
regarding the lamentable loss to the
spring wheat crop by the black rust.
OF winter and spring wheat pro-
duced this year in the United States
it was contended that there is barely
enough for bread and seed if every
bushel of it was available, which is
not possible, and the country is there
fore face to face with the necessity of
bringing in foreign wheat to help keep
the wolf from the door until another
harvest shall have been raised.
As the session advanced prices rose
still higher. the demand from shorts
which caused the initial squirt being
augmented by heavy buying by COM
mission houses. At the high point of
the day all deliveries showed a gain
of &c or more, as compared with Sat
urday's closing, May up TO S11.4B,
September to 81. 093 and December to
$1l.25sB. The sensational strength
was maintained up to the last moment
of trading.

LOOK ALoFT.

In the tempest of life, when the way,
and the gale
Are around and above, If thy footins
should fail,
II thine eyes should grow dim and thy
caution depart,
Look aloft! J. and be firm, and be
fearless of heart.
If the friend who embraced IN pros
peIity's glow,
With a smile for each joy and tear
for each woe,
Should betray thee when soflows like
clouds are aIrayed,
Look aloft'' to the friendship which
never shall fade.
Should the visions which hope spreads
In light to thine eye,
Like the tints of the rainbow, but
brighten to fly.
Then turn, and through tears of re-
pentant regret,
Look alott'' to the sun that is never
to set.
Should they who are dearest-the son
of thy heart
The wife of thy Eosom-ln sorrow
depart.
Look aloft from the darkness and
dust of the tomb
To that soil where affection is ever in
bloom.
And oh when death comes in his
terfors to cast
His fears on the future, his pail on the
past,
In that moment of darkness. with hope
in thy heart.
And smile in thine eye, "look aloft, "
and depart.

THE PLACE
For Saturdays Joint Speaking
Changed From Riverside
Park to Fair Grounds.

The Democratic Executive Commit
tee today decided to change the place
for the joint speaking Saturday
between the candidates for governor,
from Riverside Park to South Side
Park at the fair grounds. This has
been deemed necessary because such
large crowds are expected that it was
feared there would not be room enough
at Riverside Park. The fair Associa-
ton has rendered the use of its grounds
tree OF charge and in addition will
furnish barrels of ice water for the
crowd. An effort will also be made to
secure cheap transportation to the
park.

SERVANT PROBLEM
Interfering With Tennessee Methodist
Conference and II May Be
Postponed.

1t is not at all improbable that the
coming session of the Tennessee Annual
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, will be postponed for
ten days or two weeks, says the Nash
vile American: At the Annual Con-
ference last year, Gallatin was selected
as the place, and at the meeting of the
College of Bishops of the church when
the itinerary for the conference was ar
ranged, Oct. was the date selected for
the meeting of the Tennessee Conference.
The officials of the Galla5in church
have, however, forwarded petition to
Bishop Duncan, who bias been ASST yned
to preside over the conference, request
ing that the time of meeting be post
poned. 1t is said that the servant
problem is giving the housewives of
Gallatin more than ordinary trouble,
and for this reason the postponernent is
requested. 1t is hoped that by the date
the conference meets all differences
between the domestics and the house
keepers will be amicably adjusted. 1t
is the unwritten rule of the Tennessee
Conference to meet on v ednesday, and
II there should be any postDonement of
the session it would be for one or two
weeks, in order that this custom should
not be interfered with. Bishop Duncan
would by that time have another confer
ence on his hands, and as all the
Bishops on the effective list are kept
pretty busy during the fall with their
conferences, it might be necessary in the /
event of the postponement for the con-
ference to elect its own presiding Off
Ger, The discipline of the church pro-
yldes that if no Bishop appears to hold !
the conference a President shall be |
elected from among the elders present. !
It has also been suggested that Bishops
Hargrove and Fitzgerald, both Of whom
are on the superanuated stand both o
whom live in Nashville, might hold TIE
conference, provided their health would
admit. They could alternate in presid-
Ing over the sessions.

MENACE TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Citizens Must Ever Be on Guard
Against the Dangers OF Usurpa-
(From Judge Alton B. Paiker's address

(From Judge Alton B. Pa1ker's address
of acceptance-August 10th, 1904.)
1t becomes desirable to call attention
to the fact that the people, in whom
all power resides, have seen fit,
through the medium of the COnstitu-
tion, to limit the governmental power
conferred and to say to departments
created by it: Thus far shalt thou
go and no farther. To secure the
ends sought the people have by the
Constitution separated and distributed
among the three departments of gov
ernment-the executive, legislative
and judicial-certain powers, and it is
the duty of those administering each
department so to act as to preserve,
rather than to destroy, the potency of
the coordinate branches OF the govern
ment, and thus secure the exercise of
all the powers conferred by the people.
Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Will
liam g. Jarvis, touching the perpetuity
of our institutions, written many years
after he had retired to private life.
said: IF the three powers of our
government maintain their mutual
independence of each other. it may
last long, but not so IT either can
assume the authority of the other. = 1t
must be confessed that IN the course
of our history executives have en-
ployed powers not belonging to them;
statutes have been passed that were
expressly forbidden by the Constitu-
ton, and statutes have been set aside
as unconstitutional when it was diff
cult to point out the provisions said
to be offended against in their enact
ment; all this has been done with a
good purpose. on doubt, but in disre-
gard, nevertheless, of the fact that ours
IS government of laws, not OF men,
deriving Its lust powers from the
of the governed. II we
would have our government continue
Turing the ages to come, for the bene-
it of those who shall succeed us, we
must ever be on our guard against the
LANCER of usurpation of that authority |
