 ENGLISH GIRL KNOWS POLITICS.
 If you are thinking of marrying an Englishman and making his country your country" says an American girl who has done this. do begin imme- diately to take an interest in politics. All the upperclass people being in politics in England, the woman who is not posted shows herself a horrible ignoramus. and 1t is difficult to culti- vate taste for public affairs when you have never before given them a thought"
 Miss Rose Kingsley, daughter of Charles Kingsley, when she was in this country few years ago featuring upon art, said that the least educated of the English girls would be ashamed to show the ignorance of politics of which an American girl boasts. All English girls today are expected to be well in formed in many lines. and politics is one of them. A bright English girl, Miss Lyon. who recently married Lord Acton, was noted for her accomplish ments-among them a knowledge of art, music, languages, and politics"

discovered Abraham Lincoln and
placed the helm of the nation in
his hands. No party that is truly
great, that represents the high
cause of truth and civilized prog
ress, will ever lack leaders. No
such gap can exist in the onward
march of mankind. But a party
that has no issues can have no
leaders except such as war with
each other. Effective leadership
in a party at least presupposes un-

Republicans are content; but how

COLORADO LAWS.

1t is becoming more and more
evident every day that Colorado
in the past, has not been repre-
sented in its Legislature by mer
who have been capable of framing
the proper laws for the govern
,nent of the state.
Whether this is on account Of
conditions in this state being more
difficult to determine than Others
is a question. One thing we dc
know, however, is that Colorado
laws have been the hardest to in.
terpret by the courts and to dc.
rerlnine their real intent than most
states Of the Union.
There seems to be 20 little
confidence in the decisions Of the
lower courts that all who are able
TO do so inevitably resort to the
United States supreme court
This is even true in many classes
of criminal cases and men who
rightfully belong to the gallows
cvade,the law, or what seems to be
the intent Of the law, and 20 free
or have their sentences committed
The average person who gives this
matter sufficient thought must
come to the conclusion that the
laws of the state are not properly
framed and have been passed by
men who were totally incompetent
who have been sent to the legisla
tive halls on their popularity irres.
pective Of what their requirements
should be to fulfill their duties.
One does not have to seek yer,
far to discover why these condi
tions prevail.
The Legislative job, as genera
thing is not a very desirable one
in fact many times 1t is impossible
to secure q candidate who is .
capable public man with an,
Legislative ability-there is no
enough in it, compared with th'
ordinary vocation in Colorado
and man who has any popularit,
to help him and will accept th'
nomination makes our laws.

The first number of The Paonia

was issued last Thursday. 1t is
