In Colorado.
The following is from the Pueblo
Colorado, Chieftain:

The following is from the Pueblo,
Colorado, Chieftain:
"The Peabody conspirators have re-
peatedly shown their contempt for the
constitution and the laws of the state,
and are now proposing to unseat a law
fully elected governor by unconstitu-
tional methods and to turn a larger part
of the public power over to the law
breaking corporations in order that
these may more effectually defy the
will of the people Of Colorado"
The Chicftain is a Republican news
paper whose editor is a leader in his
party. The conditions in Colorado arc
somewhat similar to those in South
Carolina Immediately after the election
i'm 1876. Alva Adams, the Democratic
candidate, was elected by a large ma
jority. The Republicans control the
General Assembly. Governor Peabody
who was defeated is making a contest
and the Republicans threaten to seat
him whether or no. Meanwhile Gov
ernor Adams has been inaugurated and
is in office.
The expressions OF this Republican
paper gives an insight into the real
state of affairs. Nevertheless, the Re-
publican party has not given up the
idea of BUSTING Governor Adams.
The ofice-holders in New York city
are endeavoring to have a bill passed
granting them pensions after their re-
tirement. We think this might prove a
good plan for South Carolina except
that it would perhaps be more economi-
cal to pension them before they become
office-holders.

WITHIN THE PEARLY

The New Soda Water Foun-
tain That Minot's Druggist
has Installed is Beautiful.

A. S. Blakey, the up to date.
druggist has installed what is
said to be the finest soda
fountain in the state today. 1t
is L. A. Becker's latest improved
20 century fountain, seventeen
feet long and beautiful beyond
the most lavished description.
The sides are Of Mahogany
while it has marble tops. In the
rear is a handsome mirror, while
the base is provided witt. a re-
frigerator. The syrups are kept
in steralized 'bottels SO there is
the least, bit Of danger OF me-
tallic poisoning. No microbes
lurk within the water or syrups
of the soda water that Blakey
dispenses. Everything is perfect
ly clean, every sanitary precau-
ton being taken. At night as
the large number ofelectric lights
with which the fountain is light
ed, are turned on, you wonder
whether we are within the pearly
gates or at Blakey's. The
expert who has had charge OF
the fountain all summer will
remain with Mr.. Blakey during
the winter and dispence OF hot
and cold sodas Mr.. Blakey is
enterp.asing and deserves success.
