An interesting case was argued be-

FRIDAY, 9, 1904.

The Denve democrats who INDUCED
in election frauds are IN a hard way.
Having disobeyed the order of the SUI
preme court, they are now in contempt
and are being sent to Jail as rapidly
as the court a get hold of them. 1t
is a tough proposition. for the reason
that the United States court refuses 70
take jurisdiction of the cases and for the
further reason that an appeal to the
United States supreme court wouiu
be of no avail, because of the lac that
their terms in the ~penitentiary would
expire before the court would reach
their cases. One strange thing about
the matter is the fact that the Jail is
being filled exclusively with democrats.
The republicans of Colorado seem to
have been honest enough to refrain
from interfering with the mandates OF
the court.

THE PROGRAM.

There is every reaso to believe
there will be no tariff legislation at
this session of congress and it is also
highly improbable that an extra ses-
sion will e held for this purpose. The
entire nation, with a few trifing ex-
cepttOns, is satisfied with the present
industrial conditions and there is alb
solutely no demand for a change at
Mi time. In discussing the matter,
Mr.. William E. Curtis writing from
Washington, says:
THE men who make the program
for congress have beer in conference
almost continually since Saturday, and
have made up their minds concerning
several matters that have been agitat-
ing political circles. Messrs.
Allison, Aldrich. Plat, Spooner. Fair
banks and others of the senate side
find themselves in accord with Messrs.
Cannon, Payne, Dalzell. Hemenway.
~lGrosvenor and others of the house,
and what they say goes. Hence there
will be very little legislation at this
session beyond the appropriation bills
and the bills that have already passed
the house for the benefit of the Philip
pine islands. The disposition of both
appropriation committees is decidedly
against a general river and harbor bill
or any large appropriations for public
buildings. because of a threatened de-
felt in the treasury. and, while that
question has not been definitely set
tied, the chances are ten to one against
opening what is Familiarity known as a
barrel of pork
I'm the second place, there will be
no extra session unless something un,
expected happens. All of the big men
in congress think it is unnecessary
and have advised against it and against
Everything that is likely to disturb
financial and industrial conditions.
They have told the president, with un'
usual unanimity, that he country
wants as little legislation and as lit
tie agitation as possible, and they
have advised him that the doubt and
discussion as to what congress might
do If called in extra session would Ger
tainly excite apprehension in business
circles and disturb confidence
