WoIcott Republicans Go Back On Peabody.

The Colorado legislature is in session. The
Republicans are in control, but they are not all
in favor OF counting Adams out and seating
Governor Peabody Some Republican men,
bers known as followers of former United
States Senator Wolcott have declared that,
while they do not contemplate union with the
Democrats under any consideration, they will
vigorously oppose any plan for counting out
Adams. They say they will go into party
caucus and will agree to abide by the decision
of the caucus up to point where it conflicts
with their consciences. They insist that they
have always strictly observed party regularity,
but when course is commanded that is moral
ly wrong, they will not follow it, and they will
not consider their decision in that regard as
"irregular." The plan to seat Governor Pea
body, some of them declare, is wrong and no
caucus action will bring them to support such
action
The canvass of the votes for state officers is
made by the legislature, and is not subject to
review by the courts.
The Liberty League state convention adopted
the following resolution:
"Resolved That we denounce in unmeasured
terms the action of the Republican party in at
tempting to override the plainly-expressed will
OF the people by arbitrarily throwing out the
returns from large number Of precincts, to
the end that the state senate may be made sub.
servient to corporate greed, that the supreme
court may be packed, and that James H. Pea
body, overwhelmingly repudiated at the polls,
may be forced upon the people of this state for
another biennial period"
Another resolution declares that the election
laws of Colorado are farce, and demands their
revision. The political situation is declared to
be so grave as to call tor a complete investiga-
ton, and it is demanded that every ballot-box
in Denver be opened. protest is made
against the indiscrimlnate throwing out OF bal
lots, without an attampt to separate the good
from the bad.

LABOR WARS IN SIGHT.

Henry George, jr., says there are labor wars
in sight, and he predicts thai The year 1905
will be marked by bitter struggle. He
warns against the Parry plen, and says it
means strikes, lock-outs, blackllsts and boy
colts.
After speaking of the apparent prosperity in
this country, and giving his reasons therefor,
Mr.. George says:
''But, while we rejoice at these favorable
indications, let us not shut our eyes to some
indications not so favorable. We must remem-
Der that there are two general periods for great
strikes. One is when a depression is OH and
mills and factories are closing and there is
tendency to cut wages. Workmen strike in
resistance to the cut. The other strike period
is when the mills and factories are running at
full pressure and there is an active demand tor
labor. Then, workmen find that if they can
organize closely, they have prospect of advanc-
ing wages or obtaining some equivalent advan'
tages. This year of 1905 may, therefore, be
placed in the prosperous period. And we may
expect strikes because the active demand for

is the blessed privilege of us Americans to go

elect to do so because they enjoy home better

This is not a spiritual age, and not all age OF

vestigntion will in nearly every case
remove the cause OF complaint md

n milton might be unwilling TO submit

tied by Investigation by an impartial
international board.
"lt was glorious thing to end tho
war between the Russian and the Jap.
anese nations, but It would have been
more glorious to have prevented the
war and saved the frightful loss Of
life. The moral prestige which our
nation now enjoys would in all prob.
ability enable 1t to lead Q successful
peace movement.
"Thc congratulations which you have
received from the heads Of European
governments strengthen the chances
OF success. II the leading nations OF
the world would enter into an agree
ment and join In the creation Of such
n board and pledge themselves to sub.
init all disputes to the board for inves.
