A cuTTLeFisH PROCEEDING.

IF JUDGE ALTON b. PARKER had
L been elected president of the United
States last month it is fair 10 presume
that the Colorado Legislature would ask
that he be denied the Office because Of
frauds alleged TO have been committed
in Denver. That would be about as
rational proceeding as the one that is
said TO be in contemplation. A dis
patch from Denver says the Rcpub!i-
cans in the legislature are going TO
address the United States senate
memorial asking that Senator Teller be
unseated because some members of the
legislature that elected him were
chosen as result of fraudulent voting
Apparently those Colorado Republic
cans, or a considerable portion of
them, have gone stark. raving crazy
They may succeed i'm depriving Gov
ernOr-elect Adams of his seat. but there
is about as much chance for them to
unseat Senator Teller as there is for
them TO force Edward off of the throne
Of England And the men who are be-
hind the scheme know as we'll as any
body else that they can accomplish
nothing by it. 1t is intended to dis
tract the attention of the public from
the real issue.
They are like the cuttlefish which. to
escape its pursuers. elects an inky
fluid that clouds the waters and en-
ables the cuttlefsh to reach place of
safety. The Colorado cuttIefish viii.
not accomplish their purpose. The pub
lie mind will not be diverted from the
attempt TO steal the Colorado gov
ernorship. Adams was elected by a
majority of the honest votes cast i'm the
election last month There NAV have
been fraudulent votes cast. We may
go further; we may say it is almost
certain that fraudulent votes were
cast. But there were not enough such
votes TO affect the result, and there
were fraudulent votes cast for both
tickets
And if fraudulent votes for one party
are thrown out then the fraudulent
votes for the other party should also
be thrown out. The Republicans pro-
pose To eliminate all the votes. frautlu-
lent and otherwise. in voting districts
that returned heavy Democratic plural
tiles. If they can get rid OF enough of
these districts they will continue Gov
ernOr Peabody i'm office And. with a
complaisant supreme court, it is not
unlikely that they will succeed.
What. viii be the result? Will the
Democrats and the honest Republicans
of Colorado submit tamely to this mon
strous outrage? Only time can answer
these questions. We can only hope
that Colorado will not become involved
in civil war. that the differences be
tween the parties can be gotten into
the United States courts and settled
there on an honest, equitable basis for
all time.

was one Of the minority who con-
slstently and increasingly opposed the

transpired has given me any cause to
alter my opinion. Which was formed a fter
careful and thorough Investigation OF
the subject
1t seems to me that the whole water
question can be boiled down 20 two
better and more stable water supply.
Second, How shall we best obtain il?
Now the plan al present under consider
alton by the water committee and the
city council offers a practical and COM
mon sense solution Of this vexed and
much discussed question.
The opponents of the plan make a loud
cry against some minor objeo tiona bic
fixtures, but they have nothing practical
TO offer as a substitute. 1t is, of course
an easy matter TO find flaws in the pro-
posed contract, but few agreements are
MADE IN business that are entirely salts
factor$ to both parties
Despite all criticism these facts re-
main: The proposed plan &iIl add 20 the
city's water supply. 1t will Increase the
quantity and improve the quality AS a
result there will be an immediate and
pronounced reduction in insurance rates
which are now so high as to greatly de-
ter building and kindred investments A
blind man can easily sec how great n
benefit a low insurance rate Will confer
upon Salt Lake City. now much il will do
to hasten its growth.
Here is anot her feature that should not
be overlooked: More than eighty per cent
of the sum proposed to be raised by bond
ing Will be devoted to extensions and i'm
provements in other ways than by re-
curing exchange rights for tho Cotton
wood waters Why then argue for the
defeat OF the bond issue on the sole
ground that the Cottonwood farmers are
TO get a fe- thousand dollars for their
rights. Another cry and a shameful one
that is raised by many of those who are
opposing the bonds. is the cry of graft. -
There 10 not one iota of evidence TO sus-
tain such contention. Those OF us who
have a personal knowledge of the men
now in charge of our municipal affairs

tegrity. we believe that they have the
