The Strange situation in Colorado.

The Strange Situation I'm Colorado.
II is unfortunate that there we're not
enough friends Of good order in Colorado
last November to elect JAMES II. PEABODY
Governor beyond all cloud or possibility
Of doubt. 1t is still more unfortunate for
Colorado, the Republican party and, in
deed, the whole country if there is any
faint Of fraud, irregularity, bargain or
faction about his title to brief occupancy
Of the office.
The official canvass Of the election re-
turns by the Colorado General Assembly
showed a plurality of o,774 votes for
ALvA ADAMS, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, and he was duly insugu-
rated Jan. 10. Governor PEABODY, posi-.
tive that he had been reelected, contested
the election. The high public excite
ment, that had ragged too long, continued.
There was danger Of illegality and vio-
lence. The face of things looked omi-
nous. We have always to keep in mind
that the Colorado atmosphere makes
hair trigger nerves and emotions.
Jan. II the joint convention OF the
General Assembly appointed a contest
committee Of eighteen Republicans and
nine Democrats to investigate. March 3
reports were made to the joint conven-
ton. Fourteen Republican members, by
throwing out, on charges Of Democratic
fraud and conspiracy, the whole vote in
lO4 Denver precincts and % other pre-
cinots, reckoned up Peabody plurality
OF $3.50 in the State. -Four Republican
members, including the chairman of the
committee, were convinced that fraud
had been proved in As Denver precincts,
, and disproved in the remaining SO. They
said that Governor PEABODY had not
proved his case and recommended that
the contest be dismissed. The nine Demo
cratic members made the same recon-
mendation. This division Of Republican
opinion, whether it be the result Of fair
nsss or Of fftional or personal motives

be passed.

Some folks, we observe, speak Affect
edly Of Justice HooKERs present atti-
tude at Albany and Of the maneuvres
OF his lawyers to prevent daylight in
vestigation Of the charges against their
client. Justice HOOKER, we are told,
was stung unwisely into demanding an
investigation by an Assembly committee,
and all that sort of thing. The present
efforts to protect Justice HOOKER from
Ibis own rash act'-when he requested
that an investigation be made-have be-
come but another humiliating and IN
worthy chapter in the whole affair,
Nothing else was to be expected. The
man who could carry his relatives on the
payroll Of the Government 'for which
no services were rendered or intended
to be- rendered; the man who could
divert the salaries Of other Government
servants to his own pockets through his
own wife; the man who could pack, or
whose friends could pack a meeting Of
the State Bar Association called to dis
cuss the charges against him, couldn't
very well help lodging and blinking and
winking and Sinking and shifting and
squealing when he was confronted by
what many had been led to believe would
be a square discussion of the charges
against him.
For our part we did not expect any
other line Of conduct on the part of Jus
tice HOOKER or his advisers.

Russian railways are not Of much use to
Russian commerce these days. During the
first five weeks Of the year the loss in freight
carried was 10000 tons, according to the
latest official returns. These figures speak
eloquently Of the extraordinary disorgan-
ization Of the roads, owing to the wars
demands. In the middle Of February, 1903,
the accumulated freight was 10000 tons,
and on the same date in 1905 It was ZIG, 900
tons, while on Feb. IS, 1905, Il was $50 900
tons. Grain, in large quantities, stored
along the lines Of railway, has felt the thaw
and is rendered useless by sprouting.

During the past week the Dover Legisla-

crop failure rivalled, II not exceeded, and

The County Bible Society.

On January Goth meeting of the
Executive Committee of the Bible So
| ciety WAS held in Pennington at which
plea was read from the American hi
BILE Society for financial assistance
so that the year might be brought
to n close without debt The
COMMITTEES voted to forward funds
| to the amount of $4,000 Mt once,
and then took up the matter of en-
larging its usefulness in the County.
It was felt that all the people of the
county should be Interested IN the
Society rs all are dependent upon the
| Bible for the best elements that enter
into our civilization. As it IL not
over half the churches contribute to
| the funds of the Society. Hence the
gifts do not represent the full inter
est of the people. The question was
raised as to whether the time had not
come for n canvass Of the county in
the interests of the Society, both to
ascertain if there were families with
out Bibles, and to increase the offer=
ings and interests of the people. The
committee felt that the question was
too large to be decided Mt once and
hence adjourned to meet in the chap
ell of the Presbyterian Church, Flem-
ington, Monday afternoon next March
6, Mt 30 o clock. And cordial in
yitation was extended to the clergy of
the county to attend and participate
in the discussion. 1t was felt that
the time was suitable rs the meeting
of the ministers had been called for
the morning of the same day. The
committee hopes that many will avail
themselves of the opportunity and
looks for an enlarged intere st in the
Bible cause.
For the Committee,
