CITIZENS OPPOSE
REPUBLICAN PLAN
Both Parties in Colorado OBJ
ject to Moves of Peabody
Leaders

DENVER, Col, Dec. 25.-The man
ayers of the Republican post election
campaign maintain that with the
fraudulent vote of Denver eliminated
Gov. Peabody will have at least Z. 900
plurality in this county and 1000 in the
state This claim is. made despite the
Iact that Alya Adams has still nearly
10000 plurality since the votes of five
Denver precincts were thrown out bod
lily by order of the supreme court in
consequence of frauds developed in.
court proceedings against election off,
GERS.
In the fifteenth general assembly of
Denver, which convenes Jan. a. there
will be Republican majority of at
least three. This assembly will canvass
the vote for state officers. 1t is pro-
posed that the assembly appoint a spe-
cial contest committee of nine to
twelve members, TO which will be sub
mitted all evidence of Denver and 9TH
er counties which Republican commit
tees have collected since the election.
1t Is understood that the plan out
lined by the Republicans is to throw
out about 1900 Democratic precincts
on the ground of alleged fraud and to
count Republican precincts. They as
sert the supreme court has establish
ed precedent for procedure. This
programme is opposed by some Re-
publican leaders, including Judge WAL
ter Dixon, of Pueblo, and DR.. John
Grass, of Trinidad.
The Democratic leaders are prepar-
ing to contest vigorously the attempt
to reseat Peabody. Bipartisan mass
meetings are to be held in Denver,
Pueblo and other cities to protest
against the line of action mapped out
for the legislature by the Republican
leaders.
The Democratic leaders claim there
is monstrous conspiracy behind the
evidence of fraud shown in the con-
tempt proceedings in the supreme
court. They assert the punches of
spurious ballots. all in-one handwrit-
ing. found In different precinct ballot
boxes could not have been placed in
the dbexes~eHS one~aey~ without being
observed by the watchers, and charge
the boxes have. been tampered with
since election, legal votes being alb
stracted and spurious ballots substi-
tuted therefor. Ne proof in support
Of these assertions has been furnish
ed, but 1T is pointed out that the boxes
were left Unmatched for two days aft
er being delivered to the election COM
mission and that for another day were
in charge OF only two Republican
watchers.

"The Street Singer at the Grand

A combination of tragedy, nelodrama
and comedy, with appropriate music for
each, was the novel entertainment Of
fered at the Grand yesterday afternoon
and keenly enjoyed by both audiences,
especially the one that filled the the
ater' in the evening. tThe Street
Singer is the title of the creation, for
which the fecund Hal Reid supplied the
plot. 1t serves to exploit in the chief
role Miss Florence Bindley, a petite
player with sweet voice, an attractive
personality and undeniable histrionic
talent.
The story of the play is that of
singing girl, who, finding her father un-
Justly accused, decides to wed a super
annuated old millionaire to save her
own father from prison. Her aff1anced
lover, Billy, remains true to her, and
after numerous complications and
thrilling situations, the villains are
foiled and all wrongs are righted.
The play runs the gamut from
scenes of tragic intensity to merry
farce, in which songs and choruses are
interspersed with pleasing Hberality.
Miss Bindley in her songs is aided
by sextette of girls. They sing sew
eral pretty numbers, the catchiest of
which is ''Billy."
Among Miss Bindley's accomplish
ments is her proficiency on the xylo-
phone, which she played with excep-
tional skill She also introduced her
vaudeville act, which earned her the
sobriquet "The Girl With the Diamond
Dress In this speciality Miss Bind
ley appears in black costume literally
studded with countless glittering
gems, and handles with infinite witch
cry a baton, the ball of which is a
globule of sparkling stones.
Meritorious support was afforded by
George Pauneefort as the doddering
old millionaire, Bigelow Cooper as
Lawrence Winfield, Guy Lewis as Will
liam van Voort, Anna Leonard as
Madge Westervelt, the adventures;
Katherine Dooling as Kathleen Burns
and Robert McWade as John Vodray.

English Folly Company at the Star

A clever show of it's kind is the Rose
Hill English Folly company, which
opened a weeks engagement at the
Star last night. The olio is especially
strong, containing a number of artists.
Miss Blanche Newcombe, in a novel
ty entitled Buster Brown" made a
decided hit and is very interesting
performer. The buck and wing dancing
of Kathryn Palmer was of the whirl-
wind order and was well received, as
were the Van Brothers, comedians. The
slzit. "a Terrible Night" by John Cain,
Harry Evans and Henrietta Wheeler,
was really funny and kept the house
in a roar.

The chorus made a good appearance

DEAD IN HIS BED
William christoff, Eighty four Years
Old, Dies Suddenly Christmas

william Christoff, aged eighty-four,
an old resident of the city, was found
dead In bed yesterday morning. Coro-
ner Miller was called and decided that
death was due to oud age.
Christmas eve the old man was feel
ing as well as usual and was greatly
interested in the Christmas deings. He
retired apparently in good health and
in a happy state of mind. Christmas
morning his daughter went cautiously
upstairs and entering his room crept
softly to the bed and placed number
of gifts near her fathers head. She
was about to leave when something u1l-
usual in his appearance caused her TO
try to awaken him. When she dis
covered her father was dead.
The funeral will take place Tuesday
from the residence, 1427 Rice street.
Services will be held at the German
Lutheran church.

THE NEW MORALITY

The country is indebted to the Re-
publican party for the discovery Of a
new moral code as related to the Of
Tense of bribery. An immediate appli-
in our state. It has been commonly
agreed that the purchase and sale of
of public trust is bribery of the most
fragrant and objectionable sort. This
was in the old days when a spade was
called spade, and the devil was ex-
actly as black as he was painted. We
are learning to draw new distinctions
now, and the modern proposition is
that if John Smith, who has been elect
ed to some important office. takes
money for his vote or his influence
after he assumes the office it is brib-
cry; but if the money is paid over and
the pledge given before he is actually
installed, it is not bribery. The Of
fense attaches only to transactions of
bargain and sale consunmated after
the oath of office has been taken.
AS we say, the country is indebted
for this advanced moral idea to the
Republican party. a member of the
United States senate was tried and
found guilty of the charge of improper
use of his official position. This would
have been sufficient to bar him finally
from public life. The Republican or
ganization, however, cannot afford to
lose active and industrious members
like this. 1t set up in his defense that
the charge was committed prior to his
induction to office This high moral
example has been very effective. 1t is
now held, We understand, that all the
Republican members-elect of the com
ing legislature may, if they please, dis
pose of their service for considera-
ton; and if this is done before the leg
islature assemblies and they take their
seats, they will be held guiltless of
bribery.
We do not know that it is particu-
larly desirable to reach and remedy
this situation by any new laws. What
we need more than anything else is a
public opinion and an Individual moral
sense that may make these things i'm
possible. You cannot legislate bribery
out of existence, you cannot even
make it unpopular by statute, if the
people in general regard it as venial
ofense Public opinion must come to
look upon the giving and taking of
money for improper purposes with as
much horror as it does upon murder
and kindred crimes. The men who
employ it and the party that profits by
1t must be made to feel at once the
crushing weight of the peoples wrath
That is the way to put an end to
bribery. That being lacking, any ma
tion must presently fall to the level of
China and other Oriental countries
where the perquisites of Office are the
main thing, and where no public act is
ever done except after proper lubrica-
ton Of the wheels of state.
It seems to US that the announcement
of a new moral code so shocking as
that involved IN the interpretation now
placed upon bribery ought to startle the
nation. A people that can stop to argue
about the legal status of venal man,
who can split hairs about the ques-

QUEER THINGS TO EAT.
What Was Served at the Table Of a
London Eplcure.

Here is a typical insect menu, of
which no one need be afraid to par
take, since every item has been known
and esteemed by insect eaters for
generations past. 1t was served, not
long ago, according to Parsons
Weekly, at the table of a rich London
epicure, who is also an enthusiastic
advocate of an insectarian dietary.
Green caterpillar soup. fried locust
with woodlouse sauce, curried cock
chaters. wasp grubs baked in the
comb, stag beetle larva on toast,
moths baked in batter. deviled wire
worms, grasshoppers Eau gratin"
The green caterpillars that com
pose the soup feed entirely upon veg.
etables. and mostly upon particular
vegetables most relished by man. such
as eabbases and lettuce.
In appearance the soup itself is not
unlike clear turtle. while its flavor is
delicious.
The locusts, which constitute the
second course, have, as every one is
aware. been esteemed by goprmets
the world over, and from the remot-
est antiquity. Eat We the locust after
ms kind" was the biblical injunc-
ton; and John the Baptist is record.
ed as having lived for some consid-
cradle time upon '1ocusts and wild
honey"
There are, of course. many ways
OF preparing them. They can be
tried after their legs and wings have
been plucked off. which was. as
matter of fact, the process adopted in
this particular instance. Or they may
be powdered and baked into cakes. or
curried. or boiled. turning red. like
Holsters, in the process.
The woodlouse sauce, if properly
made with fresh butter, -four. milk.
pepper and salt, will be found fully
equal to shrimp, which it much re-
sembles in taste. Indeed. the wood
louise. although he lives on land is
hrstcousin to that much relished
crustacean.
Cockchafers, curried or otherwise,
are delicious if selected of a service
able size and plumpness. So. too. are
their grubs, when full grown. They
should then be at least two inches in
length and fat in proportion. and may
be eaten uncooked, like oysters, or
stewed in milk.
Perhaps, however, the most tooth
some of all insect delicacies is that
which comes forth on our menu of
the day'-wasp grubs baked in the
comb. These grubs have been fed by
their parents on a saccharine fluid COM
posed of fruit and vegetable Juices
and are simply tiny balls of table fat,
possessing a flavor as exquisite as it
is unique. No one VINO has once tast-
ed them will ever again be surprised
at the preference shown by fish for
this particular grub when used as a
bait
The stag beetle larva is, of course,
Identical with the cossus. which the
old Roman epicures used to fatten for
their tables upon flour and wine. The
sixth course should be served steam.
