sPOILs THEIR GOD.

OF once is their god. They are not
interested in the peoples welfare so
long as they can get office. They
make any and all kind Of promises
to the people # they will retain them
in office.
The people were promised Tax
Reform if they would elect the Re-
publican ticket. They proclaimed
that no other political party could
be trusted. They admitted that the
new tax laws were not what they
should be, but they pointed with
pride to the fac: that the Grand Old
Party could be trusted to right all
wrongs. Where they found a poll
;ician who was inclined TO kick out
side the traces, and they had reason
10 think he controlled a few votes,
they told him he should be provided
for by state or national patronage.
Where the money interests held
aloft they assured them that they
could trust the party and that there
would be no legislation enacted that
would be detrimental to the money
interest, but on the contrary they
would see to it that the money pow
er got what they wanted in the way
of legislation. And thus the farce
was carried on.
The last session produced all the
evidence needed that the Republi.
can leaders made good their promise
to the money power. They got
everything they asked for and more
too, while the common people got
it where the assassin Guiteau got
the rope.
Now royal fight is on over the
spoils of office. The leaders made
too many promises to the peanut
politicians and when the time arriv.
ed they were unable to provide for
all OF them and the result is that
they are turning down many who
were promised office.
The collectorship is fair exam.

THE ARGUS would consider it a
favor if those who agree with it in its
night for Tax Reform, would call
their neighbors' attention to THE
ARGUS and ask them to subscribe
for it. The ARGUS is fighting the
battle of the common people and it
must look TO them for support.
The corporations have no use for
such papers as THE ARGUS. 1t IS not
the kind of paper that suits their
notion of Tax Reform.

PEA-F ED SHEEP.

Salida Mail
The shipping of sheep and lambs
from the Northwest into Colorado. es-
pecially into the San Luis valley, for
feeding upon pea fields. has reached
dimensions scarcely expected by any
one. During the last month or so
more than 100 car loads have been
transferred at Salida to the narrow
gauge bound for the San Luis valley
and great many have been forced to
go around by Pueblo. Each car con
tains from 200 to 400 sheen and
lambs. These shipments have taxed
the road greatly, it is said that never
before in the history of the road has
there been such rush of business as
at present. 1t is estimated that l5O,.
600 more sheep and lambs will be
transferred at Salida before the sea
son is ended. The greater part OF the
shipments are from Oregon, Idaho and
Utah and serve to indicate the magni.
