Off1cial journal OF that organization upon
the labor situation in Colorado. gives to
Governor Peabody the sobriquet of "Colo-
radios Nero" He asks that If the seonten-
ton of Governor Peabody Is accurate, that
is. that the latter can, at will. declare
martial law, defy and set at naught the
civil law, even so far as to refuse to recog-
nize the writ of habeas corpus. then why
not have the legislature clothe the state
official with absolute despotic authority?
Continuing, Mr.. Gompers says. In part:
AT least, then, the charge of usurpation
will not properly lie. Just imagine the
governor Of the great state of Colorado not
only declaring martial law. but suspending
the writ of habeas corpus In the case OF a
single individual The language of this
proclamation in part u.s. IN the case Of
Victor Poole further direct that the writ
of habeas corpus be suspended until further
directed by me-
aNo one can conceive of greater usurpa-
ton and tyranny than is manifested by
such an utterance.
'.If civil law is to be fiagrantly overridden
by an officer sworn to enforce the law,
much less by a citizen who Is expected to
abide thereby, the question will develop
not only into a technical ana legal bait
tie. but will encourage among the people
a spirit Of disregard for the law and the
rights OF others
sIf any man, member of union or 9TH
erwise, Is guilty Of any crime or violation
Of law. he Is amenable to the law, and can
be, and ought to be. punished under tho
provisions of the law. To violate the Hnder-
lying principles upon which the govern
ment Of our country Is based Is simply
bringing our republic and Its institutions
into ridicule and making 1t the laughing
stock Of the civilized world.

TRAIN GOES THROUGH BRIDGE
The Wreck Of the Mo. Pacific
Train on the Denver & Rio
Grande in Colorado.


Pueblo, Col, Aug, Sit is esti-
mated now that between seventy
and one hundred persons were killed
yesterday afternoon when train No.
II OF the Missouri Pacific railroad,
which runs over the Denver & Rio
Grande tracks between Pueblo and
Denver, crashed through trestle
near the little station OF Eden, eight
miles north OF Pueblo, carrying the
smoking and chair cars, which were
filled With passengers, into swirling,
surging torrent which rushed under
meath.
At noon to day the number Of
bodies recovered approximated thir-
ty, few OF which have been identified,
Special trains are leaving Pueblo
every few minutes and thousands Of
persons searching for bodies are
patroliing the banks OF Fountain
river and Dry Greek into which the
cars were carried by the food.
The river, whichwas swollen by a
cloudburst, is receding slowly and
bodies are being discovered on sand
bars partly covered by the mud and
sand washing over them. They are
being brought to the city and placed
in the morgues.
Fireman Mayfield said that as the
engine struck the trestle it seemed to
rear up and tall on its side, falling to
the right or engineers side. The
fireman jumped and escaped. The
operator at Eden, a mile away, heard
the cries for help and rushed to the
creek. When he got there not a per-
son could be found who had gone
down in the wreck. The cries had
been followed by complete silence,
and apparently the passengers in all
three coaches had gone down to
death
1t was reported that there were125
passengers in the three cars that
went down. The chief dispatcher
says that this is about q correct
estimate OF the number. 1t is prob
able that q complete list OF the dead
will never be made known.

Decency's Triumph.
Birmingham News.

birmingham NEWS.
The nomination ofJoseph W. Folk
for governor OF Missouri is a great
triumph for decency. This young
man has achieved high honor be-
cause he appealed to the better
instincts OF his fellow-men. With his
talents he might have been a sue
cessiul machine politician in st. Louis
lined his purse with illgotten gain
and been prosperous, as some among
the unthinking reckon prosperity.
He took the harder but the better
way. He was steadfast to right. He
was fearless in the discharge of duty.
He was not afraid to tear the mask
from corruption, mighty though it
was.
At one time it appeared as il the
people Of Missouri would leave Folk
to the tender mercies Of the vindic-
tive boodlers, but better instincts
prevailed and a thoroughly aroused
people routed the rascals, "horse.
foot and dragoons." Folk has been
rewarded and the Democratic party
OF Missouri, in bestowing the honor
has defed corruption and saved
itself from shame.
Those who love decency will rejoice
in Folks selection as governor OF
Missouri, an honor which is but a
forerunner OF greater to come If
he but keeps the faith. OF his fidelity
those who know him best have least
doubt.

C0CKRELL PREDICTS
CERTAIN VICTORY
Says It's Folly to Talk About
Any Nominee not Support
Ing the Ticket--National
Prospects Good.
81. Louis Republic.


United States Senator Francis NJ.
Cockrell was one OF the most interest
cd attendants upon the meeting Of
the Democratic State committee. He
is vitality interested in the election OF
Legislators, who will elact his success
sor, and conferred with the Dam o.
Gratis from every part OF the state.
He talked with all the nominees,
and was with Circuit Attorney Folk
for two hours at the Southern last
night, discussing the campaign. He
will depart this morning for War
rensburg, where he expects to remain
until the opening OF the campaign.
81 just came down to see the boys"
he said. "It has been pleasant
enough socially and politically. I
am resting at home these days, and
expect to be ready for the campaign
when it opens.
As to Democratic prospects OF sue
cess the nomination OF Parker seems
to be iavorsbly accepted, and the
nominations made by the state con-
ventien at Jefferson City show a
Democratic party united, harmoni-
Gus and certain Of complete victory
in the state.
There are some wild criticisms OF
the possibility Of some Of the nomi-
nees on the Democratic ticket not
voting for other nominees. Why
anybody should suppose that when
a state convention had made plat
form Of principles which they pro-
pose to enforce in the administration
to be elected. and had made nomina-
tions by overwhelming maiorities,
and the.nominees had accepted the
platform and the nominations, any
one should doubt the loyalty Of any
nominee on the ticket, | cannot i'm
agine.
1t is a direct reflection upon the
intelligence and the integrity OF any
nominee to suppose or to charge that
he will not support the other nomi.
nees upon the same platform, and
do all he can to secure the success Of
the entire ticket.
1t is an unprecedented thing in
Missouri politics for such a question
to be even mooted.
There can, therefore, be no doubt
whatever that each and every NOM
inee Oh o:iile ticket will do everything
he can for the election OF each and
every nominee on the ticket.
The nominees of the Jefferson City
convention are honest, capable, re.
liable Democrats, and will enforce,
in the admihitration Of the govern
ment, the principles laid down in the
platform, and every Democrat and
every honest man In the state can
safely vote for them"

HOSPITALITY IN THE HILLS.
Despite Pinching Proverty the Stran-
ger Is Not Allowed to Go
Away Thirsty.

In the hill country of northern Vir
ginia tourist who was making long
trip on horseback halted one noon be
fore a log house which he at first took
to be a stable. An old man was seated
on log near the door. An emaciated
mule stood with its head halfway in
side the window. No smoke issued
from the tumDledown chimney, re
lates Youths Companion.
The tourist made inquiry concerning
the mountain roads and was on the
point of asking if he could get meal
fer himself and horse when the owner
of the shanty said: Stranger, I'd
like mighty well to invite We to dinner.
but reckon ye wouldn't relish cold
hoecake and green's"
The rider was about to say anything
would be acceptable, when the old man
continued:
"I'd like to feed that horse O. yourn,
but my old mule there's got to browse
mighty fine to keep on her legs this
fall"
The stranger explained that he
would be glad to pay for anything
that could be obtained.
"'Taint that" returned the other,
reproachfully. ''Ye don't think that
I'd take anything from a guest? But
well, fact is we amt been gettin
on as well as we might lately. The old
woman's down with rheumatic and
Sal. she's over the ridge for a spell
and things amt just ready for com.
pany, as ye might say"
It was easy to see that his pride
was putting the best possible face upon
a pinching poverty. The rider gath
cred up his reins and, making light Of
his needs. rendered cigar.
That touched the old man. He
turned the gift over and over, looked
up and down the road. from the rider
to the house and then back to the
rider again Then he seized the mans
bootleg and exclaimed:
Stranger, I'm poor and way down,
I'll own up! l can't feed ye nor warm

but If We don't git down often
that horse and come over to the spring

HORSES CRAZE UNDERWATER
When Herbage Is scant in Australia
the Animals Dip Into Shallow
Pools for Weeds.

While on cattle station in western
Australia Mr.. Henry Taunton had an op-
portunity of seeing a remarkable in
stance of the way in which animals can
adapt themselves to their surroundings.
He describes it in 'Australind."
On the :lpper reaches of the river there
was a large pool just fordable at most
times, but in dry season very low.
Among the horses making their run in
the vicinity of this pool, and old mare
and a bevy of foals and yearlings used
to come down every day in the long, dry
summer, when the herbage was scant
and scorched into dryness. They waded
into the pool until the water nearly
reached they heads, and stood there fol
hours, diving to the bottom for mouth.
full of succulent weeds, which they
chewed at leisure with their dripping
heads above the water.
The first time witnessed this strange
sight was during dry season when
was riding with the overseer in search OF
some strayed stock. AS we approached
the pool, my companion babe me keep
quiet if I desired to see something well
worth looking at. AS we rode quietly
up to the pool saw group of horses
standing in the water, and disappearing
from time to time as they ducked their
heads below the surface My wonder
was soon at an end when saw one OF
their heads suddenly come out with
mouthful of dripping weeds. No sooner
was this mouthful disposed of than the
head disappeared in search of another.
The overseer told me that during
long drought some five or six years prev
ious, when hardly vestige of feed was
left on the run, and bush fires had laid
bare the sand-plains, the old mare had
that there was plenty OF
luscious feed at the bottom of the pools
which could be procured by diving for
it; and having once put her discovery
into practice, she continued to do out OF
preference what she had been driven to
do by necessity NJ
The several generations of foals which
she had reared had all followed her ex-
ample, although none of the full-grOwn
horses had joined the amphibious group.
Here, then, seemed to be a new variety
Of horse in evolution which, If left undis-
turbed, might breed and separate from
the run, perhaps to survive through
droughts severe enough to exterminate
all others.

California !Rattlers.

Many rattlesnakes are seen among the
rocky deflles of the higher reaches of the
mountains and here and there along the
piny trails. His snakeship is retiring in
his tastes and is keeping well away from
human habitation. For those who do
care to explore the slopes along the high
er attitudes there is plenty of buzz and
coil and crawl and wriggle to be seen
without much searching. Charles Green.
of Pasadena, says he kills snake every
time he goes out on horseback. He has
his hat and saddle decorated with their
skins. The old timers attribute the ear
ly appearance and abundance Of the
snakes to the dry season and the sudden
coming of warm weather.-Los Angeles
