1T MAY BE A FATAL ERROR.

From all that is now appearing
in the dailies it appears that
Judge Lindsey has concluded to
assist the republicans to elect
their state ticket this fall. AT
least he quite evidently proposes
to run for Governor without
reference to what the convention
may do. He further proposes to
pose as democrat. If he cannot
secure their nomination he will
accept any nomination he can
get and divide the vote as much
as possible.
Two weeks ago it was a GER
tainty apparently that the demo
cratic state ticket would win in
the state. With this treachery on
Lindsey's part certain victory
is changed to almost certain de-
feat. 1t would be interesting to
know what his motive is. Whether
his head has been swelled by the
adulation heaped upon him,
whether he is being used as tool
of the Post and Republican,
whether he is deliberately serving
Evans to enable a republican to
be elected are all matters for
speculation.
We incline to the former of the
causes that are leading him into
the position of being the ablest
corporation assistant in this state.
Like many another man upon
whom honors have been heaped,
he proves to be an idol of clay
and blamed common yellow clay
at that.

A SHREWD COMPARISON.

Chairman Hendry, of the Mich
igan democratic convention gave
expression in his speech to many
happy thoughts, but the one that
will linger longest in the mind is
the short, pi hy and striking one
when he said: The difference
between the democratic party and
the republican party is the dit
ference between a calloused hand
and a calloused heart" The more
you ponder over that ePigram
matte declaration the more you
realize the truth of it. The diff
ference between a calloused hand
and calloused heart" Mr.
Hendry deserves the thanks oi
democrats for the striking figure

THE scarcity of help in fruit
sections of the North Fork and
lower Gunnison and the ever re-
curing problem OF our Gunnison
ranchmen in securing hay hands,
again brings to mind a former
suggestion that perhaps the two
sections could work a combina-
ton in securing emergency labor.
Our hay making is finished about
the time when peaches and apples
are calling for pickers just west
of us. 1t would seem that with
the assurance of six weeks good
wages in Gunnison harvest fields
followed by from six weeks to
two months in the orchards, out
side help could be secured more
easily than for one job alone.
The people OF Paonia are to be
commendei ! for their determina-
ton to keep out the aps and
give all jobs possible to white

LAST weeks Organizer, the new
socialist organ, makes quite ex-
tended remarks criticising w. J.
Bryan for refusing or neglecting
to accept a challenge from one
Wiltshire, the publisher of So
cialist magazine, somewhere in
Canada. 1t is claimed that the
gentleman mentioned has offered
to give Mr.. Bryan $4,000 for the
privilege. At first glance it may
seem as if Mr.. Bryan dreaded the
encounter, but if the reader will
but consider he will see that the
debate, if brought about, would
be we'll worth the money to this
man Wiltshire when he has lost
it. There are many mediocre
editors who could afford to bank
rupt themselves to obtain that
much advertising. Mr.. Bryan
runs a magazine OF much greater
circulation than the Canadian
editor and doubtless wouldi.dis-
cuss any intelligent article which
the socialist editor might write
and call to his attention. True
there is very little to discuss
in the socialist theory. Many of
their ideas are enhancing. Most
are as impractical as can be i'm
agined, and are utterly out of
reach for the present at least.
So far as we have been able to
understand, nearly all those things
they demand that are practical
and could by any possibility be
reached this generation are al
ready subjects of discussion
among the reform element of
both the old parties. Mr.. Bryan

The republican press generally
are printing Mayor Speer's circu
aar to democrats in full. 1t seems
that if the matter contained was
democratic the republican press
would not be dishing it up to
their readers. Had Mayor Speer
told us about the rotten deal that
deprived SO many democrats of
their seats in the legislature and
shot Governor Adams out into
the street and made the supreme
court un- American, it is safe to
say not republican paper would
have published his document.

THE savings banks failures,
which all will agree occur much
too often, will lead to sober
thinking along the line and ulti-
mately to some provision being
made by the government whereby
the savings of the man with small
capital will be protected. The
plan of the post Office savings
bank commends itself to great
many. The plan would protect
the savings of the common peo-
pie and make them available for
the necessary use of the gov
ernment at the least possible cost.

ANOTHER suggestion comes
from a merchant as to Interior
purposes which are aimed at in
the recent hotation of S40,000,000
capital stock in the catalogue
house of Sears, Roebuck & Co.
This dealer is of the opinion that
the true import of the departure
is the development OF scheme
to make powerful friends for the
parcels post law. Speaking of
the matter he says: Suppose
Sears, Roebuck & Co. can have
this class of men holding their
stock when the parcels post bill
is being considered. Sears, Roe
buck & Co. can say: give us
the parcels post law and we will
make your hearts glad-fail to

see Sam Cockreham re-nominated
for assessor. He has made a
good official and we should like
to see Delta county get out of
the idea that good man must
be removed at the end of his

trying something new. In the

UPSET BY KETCHAM'S ILLNESS.


Republicans Of the Twenty-first Congress
district, which Is made up OF the counties oil
Putnam, Duchess, Columbia and Greene, are
very much in the air, II was learned yester-
day, for a candidate. They say they dc
not exactly know what TO do, and added
that their hesitancy was due to the severe
illness of John H. Ketoham.
Representative Ketcham is very i'll at
St. E~lizabeth's Hospital here, having, il
was said. within the last few days suffered
his third stroke of paralysis. All the
information at the hospital concerning
Representative Ketcham's condition was
refused last night, and his personal physi-
clan, DR.. Glib. was out of town.
Representative Ketoham Ia one OF the
Oldest Republican Congressman in point Of
service to-day. He was first elected to
Congress in March, 1895. He retired for a
short time from the House. and was then
elected to the T~hirty-ninth. Fortieth, Forty
first and Forty-second Congresses Later
he was made Commissioner of the District
of Columbia, which place he held from 1874
to 1877, when he resigned to enterthe Forty
fifth Congress. He was also elected to the
Forty-sixth, Forty-seventh, Forty-elghth,
Forty-ninth. Fiftieth, Fifty-frst and Fifty
second Congresses. when owing to impaired
health he declined a denomination. On his
recovery he was elected to the Fifty-ffth,
Fifty-sixth, F~ifty-seventh. Fifty-eighth and
F~iIty-ninth. the present Congress.
The Republicans Of the Congress district
30 long represented by Mr.. Ketcham said
last night that they did not wish to a
any steps to name his successor until they
were assured that Mr.. ketcham could not
run again. But the Congress convention
is not far of. and for that reason Mr..
Ketcham's illness has complicated matters.
