STATE CAPITAL NOTES

The federal committee on public
buildings undoubtedly will pay visit
to Denver soon. Congressman Bon
ygne, in letter to the Chamber of
Commerce, said that all of the mem
bers seemed to be in favor of coming
to Denver. Just at present they are
busy with political questions, but he
| thought a time could soon be arranged.
The committee has been invited to
come to Denver for the purpose of
planning the erection of new post
office building.
For the first time in the history of
the Colorado Penitentiary at Canon
City the registration of prisoners has
reached 700. this number having been
recorded April 14th. Previous to the
present administration of Warden Cleg-
horn the greatest number of convicts
confined at any one time was 61S, but
, SINCE the beginning of the spring term
of the District Courts prisoners have
been coming in at rate considerably
in excess of the discharges on expira-
tion of sentence and paroles issued by
the Board of Pardons. As dozen or
more men. now under sentence. are ex-
pected at the penitentiary within the
next week or ten days, it is probable
that the enrolment will approximate
summer vacation.
Word has been received from Wash
:ngton OF the appointment of James H.
Clarke of Denver as superintendent OF
the Pixies Peak group of forest reserves
to succeed the late Henry Nicholson
Mr.. Clarke, who resides at 1923 Wewat-
ia, came to this city from Canada,
about thirty years ago with his par
ents. He has been identified with local
Republican politics for many years
The Pixies Peak group of reserves, or
which Mr.. Clarke has been appointed
superintendent. includes the San Isabel.
Plum Creek, South Platte and Pixies
Peak reserves, which recently have
been consolidated MIR. Clarke was for
two years an employe of the Board of
Public Works. when w. B. Lowry was
connected with the board. and he also
served for two years in the Health De-
partment under Mayor McMurray. He
was elected to the House of Representa-
tiyes in 1895 from this city. His
daughter was stenographer of the sec
ond charter convention.

as a necessary factor in the proper ed
ucation of the child was proved
with interesting clearness by an incl
dent in a Denver court room one after
noon this week. In case involving
the custody of child. the chairman OF
the kindergarten committee OF the
school board was called to testify re-
garding the Importance of the kinder
garten in lne early education OF a chilu,

this Testimony that no opinions were

regarded it as beyond question. Where
upon the opposing counsel reiterated
the sentiment expressed by the judge
saying that he was ready to admit the
value of this form of child culture and
that no further emphasis of the point
was required This hearty Endorsement
from a district judge and two promi-
nent attorneys is ample proof that the
kindergarten is no longer on the ae-
fensive. but holds a position whose
importance is better recognized than
the university.-Denver News.

LATEST NEWS FROn WASHINGTON
House Members Exonerated.

The report of the special commit
tee of the House appointed to investi-
gate the report from the Postomce
Department printed under the caption
Charges Concerning Members of Con
gress," was made to the House on the
18th inst. by Chairman Mccall. The
report is signed by all seven members
of the committee. The minority mem
bers. however, append supplemental
views.
The important phase of the report is
finding regarding the connection of
members with the business of the
Postoff1ce Department. This finding is
as follows:
After a careful consideration of all
, cases specified in the report numbered
| 1895 (the report of the Postofiice Com
| mittee on charges against members
| of CongressO so far as relate to pres
ent members of the House of Represn-
tatives, which the committee assume
to be out of their jurisdiction, they
have unanimously reached the conclu-
sion that nothing has appeared in con
nection with said cases that would
justify the finding that any member
| of the House of Representatives has
profited financially in the slightest de-
gree, or that any member was guilty
of improper conduct in connection
Herewith, or that any member has
| done in connection with any of said
cases anything that did not appear to
be within the line of his official duty
according to long established customs.
Having reached this conclusion,
the committee feel constrained to add
that in their opinion it would be well
| to make as formal as may be and to
restrain within the narrowest possible
Unit hn nf
nection with postofiices and the de-
tails of other executive matters, and
| that the severance of members from
| work of that character would augment
| the efficiency of the House OF Repre-
| sentatives.
I'm conclusion the committee would
| direct attention to the fact that this
| inquiry has come upon the House sud
| denly and without any notice to its
| members. Their correspondence has
been brought to the light with that
| department of the government with
which their relations are most inti-
mate. In no instance is it likely that
/, they expected the letters which they
wrote would be published. These let
ters were written under great va
riety of circumstances. in haste. and
some doubtless by the private secre-
tary of a member; some of them for
NAL and some of personal nature.
| at is to the credit of the member
ship of the House that correspondence
of this character thus collected to-
gether should contain SO little OF an
unfavorable character. Undoubtedly
there are letters which were careless
ly written. The action in some cases
was not well considered. The state
ments found in some instances in
| Ioxt tIn two ,fH
that what was done as a favor to the
members might well have been re-
sented. But there is nothing in any
of the cases considered that reflects
upon the integrity of the membership
of the House of Representatives"

The House committee on appropria-
tions has completed the general de-
ficiency appropriation bill. carrying q
total of $10,3SS.744. The largest Item
in the bill is $4.000,000 for pensions.
The minority report declares that there
is no law on the statute books OF the
United States that warrants the 81 ,500.-
900 appropriation asked for by the COM
sioner of pensions to pay the deficiency
caused by legislative order. and I'VE

In Cabinet meetings and in confer
ences directly between the executive
and heads of departments. the whole
subject of the status of the Chinese i'm
migration question as it will be after
the lapse of the existing treaty has
been thoroughly digested, and it can be
stated that the administration feels
that 1t has ample warrant for continu-
ing to enforce the rigid provisions of
the Chinese exclusion act regardless of
the denunciation of the treaty. So far
from opening the door to Chinese i'm
migration, the lapse of the treaty will,
it is said. actually render the entrance
of Chinese into this country more diff
flcult than while the treaty remained in
force. This fact has been pointed out
TO the Chinese government by Mr.. Con-
ger. who has not yet abandoned the eff
fort to induce the Chinese to reconsid-
er their denunciation. 1t is positively
stated that the exclusion laws will
continue to be enforced after Decem-
ber next, whether the treaty expires or

Taking Things Too Seriously

The chief cause Of worry is in taking
things too seriously. We ought to real
ize that the mountains of to-day often
become the ant hills Of tomorrow. Ere
quently if we postpone worry for
day or two it will fail to keep it's ap-
pointment.

least, the names of Hell and Won Plehve
are intertwined. The latter is believed
to have been the Torquemada Of the
Jewish Russian oppression; and it was

manian and Galican cruelty, that

only in the narrow confines of an aristo-
cratic court circle, which, actuated by
the same base principles, must necessar-
lily inveigle itself into belief in their
justice, if it would survive. Of truth,
idealism is better than realism; not force
but truth prevails; goodness, itself i'm
perishable, is the one passport to immor-
tality.
The Plehve incident will recall to the
observant foible or two of human ma
ture. Partisanship seems the structure
of thought. Our convictions lauded
with so much pomp, probed to the bot
tom, not seldom are only rejudces our
''opinions, clutched so tenacously, fire.

weather-wanes veered to the social winds
we would cultivate. Indeed we are in
terested deeply only when we feel in
tensely, yet the moment our feeling is
aroused the ability Of judicial Judgment
is denied us.
M. Won Plehve is undoubtedly both
the most eulogized and the most excori-
ated man in current history His enc.
mics are determined that the evil he did
shall live after him; his friends are I'M
willing that the good should be inferred
with his bones. The Russian press finds
his loss irreparable and is profuse in
panegyrics, pointing out the intellectual
force, the organizing genius and the ver-
satility Of the fallen minister The Jew

baseness and duplicity and meanness of

an intellect vigorous and keen within

narrow-a constitutional and environ
mental trait. Had his horizon had a
broader sweep, had he had 'he ability,
identified with talent merely, not to
speak of genius, it is conceivable that he
would have endeavored to solve the so
cial and national difficulties of his heter-
ogeneOus fatherland in spirit in cOnso-
nance with modern achievement and
modern ideals AS it was like Machia-
velli, he endeavored to blink the growth
of centuries, and to deal with present
problems from medieval standpoint,
and. like Machiavelli, he failed.
But, though men rejoice in the tri
umph of principles and in the defeat OF
superstition, though they feel every blow
at mediaevalism to be a tocsin call to
freedom, they should be careful to dis
tinguish between men and principles,
and not to identify the overthrow of the
one with the downfall of the other. Won
Plehve is dead, but Russian mediaeval
ism will not forthwith disappear. 1t

not approve the nihilist methods. Right
progresses slowly and never leaps. No
man is unique, and there are a thousand
Won Plehves to fill the breach. Injustice

beian, plutocrat, aristocrat or proletariat,
can in no wise strengthen righteous
cause.
