A WONDERFUL INVENTION

IL is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention OF
articles Of minor importance. Many OF
the most popular devices are those de-
signed to benefit the people and meet
popular conditions, andione Of the most
interesting Of these that has ever been
invented is the DR.. White Electric Comb
patented Jan. l, 80. These wonderful
Combs positively, cure dandruf, hair

Societies and associations have been
organized in Japan to relieve the fam

one makes certain contributions to
the relief fund. Some men contribute
money or goods, some their labor. and

willingly forego. their daily sweet
meats and give the small moneys thus
saved to the relief societies.
A boy II years old in a country
school made one day a contribution
OF two yen. 1t was thought too much

At the Brown Palace hotel last

At the Brown Palace hotel last
Saturday evening number of cor
poration Republicans gathered for
the purpose of celebrating the an
niversary of the birth of Abraham
Lincoln, and incidentally to enjoy
a banquet. The Wolcott faction
of the party were conspicuous by
their absence. Speeches were
made apropos of the occa-
sion and the pretended disciples
of Honest Abe in quoting excerpts
OF some of the masterpieces of the
great emancipation laid special
stress on the immortal words, "a
government of the people, by the
people and for the people," init
mating that that was what Repub-
licanism in Colorado stood for.
To one acquainted with the dirty
and indecent efforts of the corrupt
corporationists and their purchased
assistants in trying to stea! the
governmental chair of Colorado, it
seems that the time worn express
sion quoted above could we'll be
paraphrased and worded, "A gov.
erment of the corporations, by the
corporations and for the corpora
tions." Such sentiment as that
would at least have been more ap-
propriate among the gathering of
political jackals assembled to desc
crate the memory of the martyred
Lincoln.
