Band Boys Furnish Musical Feast.

"a rare musical treat was enjoyed bv
ever one who attended the Cowbov band
concert at the opera house Wednesday
evening, and it is to be hoped that the or
ganzation will continue their public
appeatances. To indvidualize and make
spec mention Of the superior numbers
reneerrd would be difficult, as each was
OF high order and contributed to a most
exctieut programme as a whole. The
sole numbers were especially pleasing to
the al fence and it is to be regretted that
severai of the performers, who were
stra -ccs could not be persuaded to be
con permanent residents of this city.
Idaho springs is proud of this most excel
lent musical organization. II is to be
no ei hat every encourage N II, will be
give the members and thus assure the

Thos. Crow Deported.

Thos. B. Crow, formerly a well-known
mine operator and assayer Of this camp
was escorted from Butte, Mon,ana, on
last Monday nigh, by gang Of armed
anarchists. Crow was struck Oh the head
with a revolver several times, the assault
taking place within a hundred feet OF the
police station. He was driven i'll hack
seven miles TO S liver Bow, and was al
lowed to go upon promising that be
would leave Montana at once and never
set foot iu the state again. He was
threatened with d ath if he refused.
The alleged charge made against Grow
was that he advocated the formation ot a
citizens alliance in Butte. and that he
served as captain in the Colorado Nat
ional guard during the labor troubles
here several years ago.
1t is thought that some one or more OF
the band who were allowed the priv
ilege of leaving this city on the night
of Jnly 20, 1902, in all probability had
hand in the affair at Butte, Montana.
Grow was employed by prominent ma
chinery house in Denver as travelling
representative.

THE QUESTION OF REPRESEN-
TATION.

1T is an unfortunate fact that our
people at times glory" in division.
The discussion under way with reference
to the plan of the national Republican
party TO reduce the electoral and con-
gressionaI representation of all states
that abridge the electorate except for
crime has emphasized this fact.
The New Y ork Age, edited by that
accomplished journalist, Hon. L.
THOMAS FORTUNE is leading the oppo.
siuon against this plank in the platform
of the Republican party. 1t is needle SIS
to say that the southerners are we'll con-
tented to let the colored people lead the
movement. 1t is also stated that Presi-
dent ROOSEVELT has unof1icially placed
the seal of his disapproval upon any
such reduction.
This makes quite complicated situa-
ton and il is safe to say that the pro-
posed legislation is as good as defeated
The day has not as yet dawned when
the educated moneyed elements a.
mongst the colored people could agree
upon speclhed plan or action and as
long as this condition prevails, but little
can be expected as result of their
efforts.
We have never seen any particular
benefit TO be derived by the oolored
people by the enforcement of the pena.
LIKING clause of the Fourteenth Amend
ment, but have always insisted that il
was the duty of Congress to enforce and
vitalize the provision guaranteeing q
free ballot and fair count for al
citizens, regardless of race or color
Still, if the Republican leaders choose
to reduce the presentation of any
state of the Union, that abridges the
suffrage, save for crime, we have moth
ing to sag against it.
1t is fight now being waged by oul
white friends against each other anC

DECISION AGAINST BEEF TRUST
Supreme Court sustains Contention

Supreme Court Sustains Contention
of Conspiracy to Raise Prices.
Washington, Jan. 31.-The supreme
court of the United States decided the
case of the United States versus Swift
Il Co., known as the beef trust case,
charging conspiracy among the pack
ers to fix prices on fresh meats, etc.
The opinion was handed down by JUS
tice Holmes, and affirmed the decision
of the court below, which was against
the packers.
In his opinion Justice Holmes dis
cussed at length the various conten-
tons of the packers and disposed of
them individually. He admitted that
some of the charges were less specific
than desirable, but said this was
necessarily true on account of the
vast field covered.
He added that sufficient had been
shown to prove continuous offense and
an offense of such a nature as to JUS
tify the proceeding. The opinion con-
tinues the Injunction granted against
the packers under the Sherman anti
trust law by the lower courts. The
opinion was concurred in by all the
members OF the court.
