no way responsible pay it would
be more accurate.
With millions in their reserve
fund collected all over the world
for the purpose of paying for
some great disaster like this one,
they haggle and dodge, bulldoze
and distress the innocent victims
of the holocaust and in every con-
ceivable way go to prove that as
protectors of the public from dis
aster they are broken reeds.
If in any event they shall be
made to pay these losses they
will simply take the amount out
of the pockets of the people who
will be compelled to patronize
them for the next few years.

WILL LEVY AN ASSESSMENT.

Immediately following the
great California disaster we we're
informed through the press that
the insurance companies would
paw their losses in full and do it
promptly. They were SO very
solid and substantial that it would
almost be pleasure to let go of
some of their accumulated sur
plus.
A little later the dispatches be-
gan to tell of this one and that
who has gone into liquidation the
fabled reserve having been found
inadequate to paying their San
Francisco losses.
Then came proposal to pay
sixty per cent. without litigation.
This latter proposal being made
with the distinct threat that if not
accepted they would exhaust
every effort in court to evade
payment altogether.
The latest thing brought for,
ward by these conscienceless rob.

GOOD FOR THE SOUL.

However desirable it was to de-
feat the free silver agitation in
1896, did the end justify the
means employed to accomplish
that defeat2 1t is not too much
to say that the money spent IN
1896 to prevent the election of
Bryan resulted in political de
bauchery, such as was never be-
fore experienced in the United
States, and from which the
politics and business of this
country have not even yet re-
covered. 1t is not far from the
truth to say that the country has
suffered more by reason of the
political corruption of the 1895
campaign than it would have
suffered from the triumph of free
silver, lamentable as that would
have been. Bryan's triumph of
free silver would have given the
markets terrible shock, but
Bryan could not have really done
much harm in practical way,
and the country would have
made a speedy recovery from
the disaster, but it will take many
wears to recover from the effects
of the political debauchery which
has been brought about by the
abuse of millions of dollars in po-
litical campaigns.-Wall Street
News.

A LARGE touring automobile
containing man and his wife met
load of hay up in the foot hills in
a narrow road. The woman de-
clared that the farmer must back
out, but her husband contended
she was unreasonable. "But you
can't back the automobile so far,

automobile was starting to argue
the matter when the rancher. who
had been sitting quietly in the
hay, interrupted. Never mind,

back out. I've got one just like
her at home"

THERE are many persons who
believe that Mr. Bryan would
have been elected President in
1896 if he had not attacked the
federal courts.-Washington Post.
And yet most people believe
that Mr.. Bryan was elected but
counted out by Mark Hanna s
machine. The insurance lnvesti-
cations show that millions were
spent to defeat him, and why not
other millions to keep him out
after he was electedf There's
nothing new about it. Another
great Democrat, one Samuel J.
Tilden, was counted out by Zack
Chambers machine. and here in
Colorado, Republicans counted
out the man elected governor
nearly two years ago. 1t is a
a Republican habit.-Boulde'
Camera.

THE decision of the Supreme
court emasculating the inherit
ance tax feature of the revenue
law is another decision of the
court that destroys completely
the intent of the Legislature.
There exists no reason whatever
for having legislative body IT
their work is to be upset contin-
uously by the courts. 1t was sup
posed once that the courts merely
enforced the laws as they exist,
but now they put just such words
as suits them best under the title
of the bill. Railroads are per-
mitted to run saloons without Ii
cense by an accommodating at
torney general and the Supreme
court exempts the rich from the
inheritance tax. Both measures
were exhaustively discussed in
the legislature, the greatest care
was taken to make the law state
the facts as desired by the body
empowered by the constitution to
make our laws. There is no rea-
son for electing Legislature till
this sort of thing is permanently
stopped.

EXTRACTS FROM THE SPEECH
OF Senator Patterson on Municipal
Ownership.

Lest my corporation TRENDS

by my abb ence from my desk IN

that before | left | made arrange
ments that my vote should be
counted on every proposition that
was to be up during my absence.
/ have already cast three separate
and distinct votes, although 1000
miles from the capital. And
when 1t comes to voting on the
presidents railroad bill, my vote
will be cast just as believe the
people of this state want it cast
(applause). that is, for the bill
and the amendments as they have
been and will be recommended by
that prince of trouble makers.

plause.)'
Friends, | have almost re-
gretted that have declared that
will not run for office any more.
(Laughter.) Within the last ten
days | have almost made up my
mind that / would re enter the
political field. (Applause.) There
are only two Offices l could con-
slider, however. One of them |
would be barred from on account
of my nativity. (Laughter.) And
the other is the only Office that
would be promotion from a
United States senatorship. Gap

is? (Several voices: Mayor of

Yes, mayor OF Denver. CTre-
mendous and prolonged applause
and cheering.) | do not say that
will be a candidate. But you
can depend on one thing. If you
vote away all of your franchises,
so that there is nothing to take
care of and no rights to husband,
| would not have the Office. But
if you defeat every franchise
without exception-mark you, |
repeat, if you defeat every fran
chise without exception-1 will

the proposition of being a candi-
date for the Office of mayor of
Denver two years hence. (Vocif

that could be placed upon my
which / would. prize
more highly than one setting
forth that as mayor of Denver /

Kina Edwards Holiday Trip.

London-The Duke of Lancaster, as
King Edward will be known for two
months, left Friday evening for holi-
day in Paris and Biarritz and a sub
sequent cruise in the Mediterranean.
The King, who is attended only by
General Sir Stanley Clarke and Hon.
Sidney Greville, will stay at the Brit
lsh embassy in Paris until Tuesday,
and during his visit to the French capi-
tai will see President Fallieres, whom
he has not yet met. From Paris the
King will go to Bairritz, France, and
will stay there until the end of March,
afterward joining the royal yacht in
the Mediterranean, where it is said he
will meet Emperor William. During
his stay at Barritz, King Edward will
see King Alfonso and discuss the de-
tails of the latter's marriage with Prin-
cess Ena of Battenburg.

Fishinq REGULATION.

Denver-The News publishes the
following: will the public be al
lowed to fish in all parts of all streams
and lakes where these fish are placed?
mo fish will be placed in'any stream
Or lake where the publi3s-is not al
lowed to fish free"
Hereafter all applicants for fish from
the state hatchenes win find attached
to the blank applications the above
question and dictum from State Game
and Fish Commissioner ]. NJ. Wood
ard. The question will be placed in
the body of the application, while just
above the blank line left for
the signature OF the applicant will be
found the positive statement OF the
commissioner that the granting of the
application is conditioned upon the
right being given to the public to
Share in the benefit.
The new form of application went
into effect Tuesday, Immediately after
the State Supreme Court reaffirmed its
decision in the Gunnson fish case.
This decision holds the law relating to
trespass superior to the constitutional
grant the people have to free access to
the streams of the state.
1t was largely through the efforts OF
Commissioner Woodard that the state
made it's plea to intervene after the
court announced its first decision in
the case. The plea was allowed and
a rehearing granted. but 10 court Mon
day announced another opinion, in
which it adhered to its former de-
cision. Justices Bailey and Steele filed
a dissenting opinion, in which they
stated that the court by judicial act
had confiscated nearly 100000 of the
peoples money and seriously affected
the states agricultural interests.
merely that corporations, clubmen and
wealthy sportsmen might enjoy exclu-
sive rights to the streams.

SUGAR BEET VICTORY,
Philippine Tariff Bill Killed by senate
Committee.

Washington.-By vote OF eight to
five Friday the Senate committee on
the Philippines defeated the Payne
bill, which had passed the House by
vote of 25s to II.
The action OF the committee had
been foreshadowed for nearly week.
although the exact vote had not been
known.
The senators voting for the bill
were: Lodge. Beveridge, Long. Car
mack and McCreary.
The negative votes were: Hale, Bur
rows. Dick, Nixon. Brandegee. Culber-
son. Dubois. Stone.
After this decisive action bad been
taken, Mr.. McCreary moved that the
bill be- reported to the Senate ad-
versely, in order to give the Senate
a chance to consider it.
Mr.. Brandegee moved to table the
motion and this was carried by a vote
OF to 6, Mr.. Nixon voting with the
minority on this proposition.
This action effectually disposes OF
the measure, unless the chairman
should appeal to the Senate by reso-
luton.
After Brandegee's proposal that the
bill should be tabled, Mr. Lodge, the
chairman, addressed the committee.
He said the course proposed was un-
usual and that there could be no good
purpose accomplished in thus prevent
ing the Senate from reviewing the
action of the committee if it desired.
The opponents of the bill made no
reply.
After the bill had been effectually
disposed of, Mr.. McCreary moved to
report his bill, which provided for
free trade with the Philippines imme-
diately.
This motion was lost, only four SEN
ators voting in the affirmative. They
were McCreary, Culberson, Carmack
and stone.
The Payne bill provided for the re-
duction of duty On sugar, tobacco and
rice imported from the Philippines, to
thirty-two per cent. of the Dingley
schedules, and for absolute free trade
after three years.

Fishing Fleet Destroyed.

Thondhjem, Norway. "A fishing
fleet, consisting of 300 boats carrying
1000 men ana operating off Trondh-
jem, was caught in terrific storm Fri
day and it is feared the greater por-
tion of it was wrecked, as many boats
are reported to have been seen float
ing keel upward. Thus far seventy
nine of the boats with $50 men have
been reported safe at Flatanger, Koks-
vik and the Gjaeslingerne islands, and
possibly others have reached shelter
at some of the thousands of islands
dotting the coast. Steamers are cruis-
ing in the hope of picking up surviy-
ors.

STEVE ADAMS coNFEssEs INNER
CIRCLE GRIMES.
C0RROBORATING ORCHARD
Written and Signed Confession Gives
Details of Many Murders-TelIs
Secret Workings of the Western

"TlltSH anu oi9neo confession GIVES
Details of Many Murders-TelIs
Secret Workings of the Western
Federation.
Boise, Idaho-The Statesman prints
the following:
The Statesman is authorized to an
nounce that Steve Adams, arrested az
Haines, Oregon, on February 2Oth, in
connection with the Steunenberg as
sassination, has made a fulland sweep
ing confession.
This second confession is far more
important than that made by Harry
Orchard. This is the statenent made
by James MCFARLAND, the Pinkerton de-
tective last evening, in the presence
of Governor Gooding and ]. H. Haw-
ley, who is in charge of the prosecu-
tion.
"Mr. Mcfarland added that Adams
confession fully and exactly corrob-
GRATED that made by Orchard at every
point touched on by both.
Moreover, MCFARLAND continued,
Adams knows far more of the work
ings of the inner circle than Orchard
did, and was able to give a mass of de-
tailed information that Orchards con-
fession did not cover. The confession
of Adams, he said, corroborated that
given by Orchard on every substantial
point connected with the assassination
of Governor Steunenberg. Adams,
however, was not at Caldwell at the
time of the assassination, nor was Or
chard at the time Of the unsuccessful
effort in November. The man who as
sisted Orchard on the latter occasion,
as set forth in Orchards confession.
was Jack Simpkins.
Still another statement made by the
detective was that the Adams confes-
sion gave the details of a large num-
ber of murders that were not referred
to in any manner by Orchard. 1t was
further stated that the confession had
| been reduced to writing, signed and
| acknowledged. 1t was a voluminous
| document, covering a greater field and
| in more detail than was made by Or
! chard. The further statement was
made that Adams had made this con-
! fession without being promised any
thing. When talked with about the
matter he simply made clean breast
of all he knew of this case and of the
secret workings of the Western FEEDER
alton.
1T was announced by the governor
Mr.. Hawley and Mr.. Mcfarland that
while they thought these facts should
be made public, there would be nc
further information given out OIL
hinted at respecting this Confession
