Dental equation is still an active sub
ject of..comment.here among the So
called leaders of the party in Wash
lngton. Two Of the things that have
caused the wagging Of tongues this
week and last, have been the decis-
sion of the United States Su preme
Court that compels the coal barons to
answer the questions put to them by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in the suit brought BY Mr.. William
Randolph Hearst It was a famous
victory for Hearst and has been re-
garded here as victory for the peo-
pie over the vicious and arrogant
methods of the coal trust. It has
made him many friends who hitherto
have been either lukewarm toward
his presidential ambitions or openly
opposed to him. They have begun to
believe in man who has done
things in the interest of the people,
and who started in to do It in the
most unsel6sh manner without regard
to any reward to himself except that
which can come to a mans conscience
for having done a good and a gener-
GUS thing. Another thing that has
helped along the Hearst candidacy
this past week has been the letter of
Grover Cleveland endorsing Judge
Parker and his candidacy. Many good
democrats here utterly repudiate any
man endorsed by Grover Cleveland.
The man, they claim, wrecked the
democratic party in 1896. They refuse
to support any man who is supported
by Grover Cleveland, and as the fight
has been narrowed down to Hearst
and Parker, they must take sides and
they are taking the Hearst end of the
game. From some of the talk I have
heard here Judge Parker would have
good cause for action against Cleve-
land for damages for writing that
letter. He certainly has a]ienated
many men who would have supported
Parl er who will now support Hearst
They will go home from Congress and
actively done so in the primaries, as
the Congress is likely to adjourn by
the first of May. Hearst stock has
gone up perceptibly since the Cleve-
land endorsement Of Judge Parker.

WASHINGTON LETTER

April 15-There have been some ex-
cellent speeches made in the House of
Representatives during this session by
the democrats, and, aside from those
speeches made by the Hon. John
Sharp Williams, who always makes
good one, the best that have been
made and that will make excellent
campaign material for the democrats
in the approaching campaign were
those made by the Hon. Champ
CLARK, of Missouri, the Hon. Eaton j.
Bowers of Mississippi, and the Hon.
Adam M. Byrd, of Mississippi. Mr..
Clark, Of Missouri, Spoke entirely on
the tarif Question:, and, his speech
may be taken as clear and concise
exposition Of the democratic position
on that question. He hit the republic
cans some hard jolts in the course of
his speech and they squirmed like a
cut worm and they attempted to rattle
him by asking questions. They gained
nothing, however, and he proceeded
with his lambasting to their utter dis
may and the delight of the democrats.
Another good speech on the tariff
question was the one made by the
Hon. Adam M. Byrd, of Mississippi,
and was devoted entirely to the man.
ner In which the tariff affects the
farmers in this country Mr.. Byrd
showed conclusively that the present
apparent prosperity of southern farm
ers did not come from the Dingley tariff
rates, but from the failure Of crops
across the sea and shortage in the
worlds supply of cotton and other
crops. He also showed that this pros
perity was more apparent than real,
for the cost Of living had increased
more than thirty per cent since 1897,
which made it seem impossible for
the present wave of prosperity to long
continue in the agricultural districts
unless the government comes to the
rescue and reduces the cost of produc:-
ton by removing the tax from agri-
cultural implements, machinery and
other necessaries Of life. the price of

A letter from Governor Peabody
thanking the Denver attorneys of the
Union Pacific road forfree posses is
published. The governor regrets in
another letter that he was unable to
get away to enjoy psss to San Fran
cisco, but expresses thanks for
the trouble taken, which he will at
some future :.time "evoke in my be-
half" The following letter was sent
to the general solicitor of the Union
Pacific by the Denver counsel for the
road, under date Of May 10, 1908:
Dear Sir: Next attached you will
ind request from Sherman M. Bell,
adjutant- general OF the state, for an
nual transportation over the lines of
the Union Pacific railroad company
The adjutant-general is in a position
to be of benefit to the railroad COM
pany in case of labor troubles or SINH
lar occurrence, and we understand
that it is customary for the other
railroads in the state to furnish him
with such transportation.
General Bell is now in command of
the state militia and executing the
desires of the mine owners with the
utmost disregard of the rights of the
workingmen..
Several other letters of this kind are
published, one from ATTIC rney General
Miller of Colorado asking for q pass
for himself and wife. Deputy Clerk
Cook of the supreme court asked for
transportation, and in the letter of re-
quest it is said that: "Mr. Cook 9
position is such that he has FREQUENT
ly been able to and has rendered Us
valuable services in connection with
matters in which the railroad com.
pany was interested, especially in
connection with the tax litigation Of a
year or two ago.
The authenticity Of the letters has
not been denied. There is evidence
here to an unprejudiced mind that
the state government Of Colorado is
not competent to deal fairly with la
Dor questions.
If the workingmen and farmers OF
Colorado haven't sense enough to throw
the whole rotten mess overheard at
the next election, they deserve to
suffer.
