GOV. PEABODY.

The people of the state of Colorado
are looking to Gov. Peabody and won
dering If political ambition will get
the best of him and be the unmaking
Of him the same as Thomas and Or
man When first nominated and elect
ed, Mr.. Peabody said he would not be
candidate for reelection and accord
ingly would conduct the affairs of state
honestly and conscientiously without
hope OF reward The Herald believes
this policy has been pursued up to the
present time and on account of this
The people are pushing him for anoth
er term. This being the case II is
limited that the governor will accept a
second term largely as stepping
stone to the United States senate.
And herein lies the danger. II the
governor should use the executive Of
flee to further senatorial aspirations
then he would fail to be governor for
the people. The Herald feels that
GOV. Peabody should be renominated
and reelected simply on the merits
OF the case, but we are against such
endorsement If the senatorship is to
play even an unimportant part In the
program. Il reelected governor, Mr..
Peabody should be content with the
honor and conduct the affairs of state
impartially and leave the senatorship
for outsiders to scrap over. 1t would
leave him Tree and his friends as well.
And on this point we believe Gov.
Peabody should make his position
known at once. 1t would have much
to do with solidifying the party in Den
yer. Ii would stop lot of petty jeal-
ously and strife that now exists. The
Republican party wants him for gov
ernor but he cannot serve the interests
of the state and use the high position
TO further senatorial aspirations. OF
course The Herald cannot say that the
governor entertains any such aspira-
lions II he does not It will do no
harm to come out publicly and say so.
II he does then 1t means the injection
OF the senatorial fight in the state gov
ernment which cannot help but he in
furious. We say let the governor go
before the people on his record for
the one position and not with view
OF landing another office later on.
Separate the issues-senatoria and
senate. and there will be clearing OF
the clouds that darken the sky VIII
GOV. Peabody rise to the occasion?

SCENE AT DEPOT
Trunks of Actor Attached by Doctors
 Lawyer.

There was most unhappy scene at the M. & P. depot last .evening just before the departure of the Maricopa bound train. Those immediately con- cerned were Joseph Bennington, of the Spooner Dramatic company, and Judge J. H. Langston. representing Dr. John W. Thomas. Each side had its own clear story, but there was only one side to the matter so far as the two or three score of people who had come to bid the Spooner company bon voyage were concerned. pr. Thomas had placed d bill in the hands of Judge Langston for collection. The bill was for treatment accorded Mrs. Remming- tons mother. Items of it appear to have been disputed and MT. Reming- ton stated that he had. received two bills and that these did not agree. At the depot the trunks which bore MT. Remington name, but which in reality were the property of the Spoon CT company were attached for the amount. When this became known tens and twenties were offered Rem mington in profusion. He had the chance of his life to become a million aire However, he dug down into his 
 demanded. Then he asked why pr.
 Thomas had not accepted the money when Mrs. Bennington had offered it to him in the afternoon. Judge Lang ston said that she had not been to
 the doctors office and had made no offer of payment. Later pr. Thomas
 stated to a reporter that Mrs. Rem mington had called and asked for an extension of time, but that he had re- fused no money on the grounds that
 the matter was in the collectors hands,
 nor had the money been rendered. When Langston made the assertion that he did and the matter had so
 far progressed that many present un- derstood Judge Langston to dispute
 the lady's word, Bennington made a vicious lead for his man, but was re- strained by Messrs. Wallock, Spooner and others who, by the way, had tears in their eyes, and who left it to the people assembled to vindicate Rem mington by their cheers which were supplemented by offers of money. Rem
 mington was carried aboard the train, struggling and thre& tening and beg ging with tears in his eyes to be allow ed to physically resent the insult of fered his wife.

ESTIMATE OF RUSSIAN LOSSES.
This Also Came From J apanese
 Sources.

Tokio, Sept. Photographic reports ters of the Manchurian army declare the Japanese to be in full possession of the Yentai coal mines, and estimate the Russian losses up to the fall of Liao Yang at over 25,OO0 men and give ad- ditional details of the disposition of Russian forces around Liao Yang dur ing the battle.
 The estimateof losses does not include those suffered by Russians in the rear guard actions fought after the evacu- ation of Liao Yang. The date upon which the Japanese occupied Yentai coal mines is not given.
 According to Russian prisoners and other men the Russian force at Liao Yang included the full strength of the second, fourth, fifth, tenth and seventeenth army corps and portions of other corps. Before the battle the Rus sians assembled a great number Of railroad cars at Liao Yang, which were constantly used in the removal of wounded men, arms and ammunition stores to the rear for three or four days. Vast quantities of arms, am munition and stores were burned al Liao Yang before the final retreat, but milton, powder wagons, stores and mis- cellanous property were captured by the Japanese. Among the ammuni- tion captured, was a quantity of dunl dunn bullets.

THE CAMPAIGN OPEN.
Following the Issuance of the Presi-
 dents Letter.
THEODORE ROOSEVE

dents Letter.
 Chicago, Sept. 11.-With the issuance of President Roosevelt's letter of ac- ceptance the republican national cam paign may be considered as formally open.
 A feeling of indifference on the part of voters has been a cause of alarm for many western politicians and it has not been confined to those of any one party. Men who do not rank with workers in any party have been inn pressed with the fact that the average man is not concerned with politics this year. Various reasons have been as- signed and organized bodies have been censured for not stirring up interest.
 A statement from the western repub- lican headquarters, however, refute this idea. The managers of the party advance the opinion that a political hysteria will be appreciated as a bless ing and that the situation does not indicate carelessness.
 Business men, they explain, are sat isfied with a campaign which does rot disturb business conditions.
