COLORADO POLITICS.

The unearthing Of glaring frauds in
the recent election in Colorado and the
decision Of the supreme court to make
thorough investigation Of every bal
lot cast in Denver, has made the demo-
Gratis weaken, and their candidate for
governor, Mr.. Adams issues a state
ment that he would not have the Office
If it is tainted with fraud. This, with
the fact that the democrats cast thou
sands Of illegal ballots, which they now
admit, has compelled them to throw
up both hands and virtually consent
to the seating Of Governor Peabody as
governor. The only way they could
defeat Governor Peabody was by the
use Of money and ballot box -stuffing
Even many Of the women-who are
allowed to vote in Colorado-partlci-
pated in the frauds. From the result OF
the investigation it is evident that
Governor Peabody made a mistake
when he drove the miners out Of the
state. He should have driven the DEM
ocratic politicians and ballot box-stuf
fers out. They should have been con-
Quoted by the state militia as far as
Tammany hall In New York and turned
over to the organized band of robbers
that control the democratic party in
Greater New York.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE.
The following is taken from an ex-
change.
The civic improvement league OF
Kalamazoo has secured permission and
an appropriation from the city govern
ment to keep a part of the street Of the
municipality cleaner than the street
cleaning department has kept them
The league. Is composed entirely OF
ladies who are now for the first time
proud of the title of scrub women"
Kalamazoo, Mich. is one Of the pref
tiest cities in the world. Its wide thor
oughfares and principle residence
streets are absolutely free from paper,
stones, beer bottles, tin cans. rubber
boots and other articles Of commerce.
There are no fences in front Of any Of
the residences. For years 1t has been
known throughout the east as The
Beautiful Village" Its beauty is due
entirely to the Civic Improvement
League. Other cities in the east are
being beautified in the same manner.
In five years Astoria will probably be
the only city in the world without a
civil improvement league, and whose
streets indicate penuriousness and
slovenliness. 1t is possible. however,
that the recent influx of eastern peo-
pie to Astoria may change these con-
iitions. Eastern people are not used
to seeing hog pens on the principal
business streets, they belong in the
country. They are not accustomed to
seeing old hoop skirts, last years bust
les, tomato cans, old sox and other
unmentionable articles strewn all over
the front lawn. OF course, where there
is no number on the house this Is the
only way people have of ascertaining
where some people live, but the GUS
tom is obsolete in all civilized COM
munities. 1t is barely possible if some
Of the people would start in and clean
up the streets. they might find un-
derneath the filth and rubbish one or
more Of their children whom they have
not missed on account Of so much Of
their time being taken up with social
functions.

REFORM NECESSARY

Football is probably exhlllratIng
sport for those who enjoy il. There Is
reason in all things. A large majority
Of the people do not indorse football
on Sunday, but 1t is tolerated and prob
ably always will be until a better senti-
ment prevails in Astoria The limit Of
indecency is reached, however, when
a wagonload Of football boys are hauled
through the streets on Sunday, whoop-
ing and yelling and making themselves
obnoxious to all decent people. II they
go quietly to the ball grounds and en-
gage In the sport, not so much is
thought Of it, but the respectable peo-
pie Of Astoria have some rights that are
entitled to respect. even by football
players. 1t is something that is not
tolerated in eastern cities and Astoria
should be no exception to the rule.

UNSCRUPrLOCS TACTICS.
All big cities have troubles OF their
own. Tacoma has been thrown into a
state OF ferment by pre-emptory or
ders issued by the underwriters. re-
quiring all the principal business
houses of Tacoma to rewire their build
ings. The cost OF rewriting runs from
$50 to $500, according to the building.
The city of Tacoma owns and operates
its own lighting system. and there are
a score of hungry grafters, aided and
abetted by the insurance grafters, who
want TO drive the city out OF the busi-
ness so they can secure a T5-year fran
chise and rob the people by charging
|extortionate prices for lighting the city.
The insurance companies. represented
by underwriters are In on the graft,
and they are notifying all the principal
business houses that they must rewire
their buildings or the rates Of insurance
will be raised. The common council
of Tacoma is going to fight the propo-
sition and have appointed prominent
citizens to investigate the matter. The
investigation should be thorough and

Shorter Speeches.
From London Truth.

What Is really needed to tighten the
duties OF the speaker is rule limiting
the length of speeches. I have seldom
heard speech in the house that would
not have been better for good deal Of
compression. There are a good many
members who produce a vast pile of what
they are pleased to call notes, and they
YEARLY plod through them as though no
previous speeches had been made on the
side of the question that they are adj
vocating or opposing. instead of dealing
with any matter that has arisen during
the debate that has not yet been an
swered.
In the United States a speaker moves
that the rest OF his speech be taken as
heard and printed. He then Is able to get
number of copies. which he distributes
among his constituents. This plan might
with advantage he adopted by us. I would
limit all speeches to half an hour Rut
at any moment of the debate would give
power to any member to move that the
ten minutes rule be put In force and. IL
carried. l would leave to the speaker the
right to select two members who might
speak for half an hour, but limit all other
orators to ten minutes
