In 1898. when G. B. Buchanan was
lected State senator, he secured the
election on the promise that he would
be on the side of the people in all mat
tiers coming up IN the Senate.
There was considerable feeling iu
the district at that time over the the
proposition to tax railroad lands. Or
the strength of this feeling and be-
cause of the promises he made, the
people sent Mr.. Buchanan to the State
senate.
To the establishment and chagrin Of
the people Of the district, Mr.. Buck
man showed himself, by vote and &C
tion, to be opposed to their interests.
The taxation of railroad lands va:
the greatest issue IN the Buckmar
campaign. yet Buchanan went square
ly back on his promises.
In the session of 1899, bill, 81. F,
Is, was introduced with the following
title:
A bill for an act providing for taxa
tion of railroad companies in this
state. and to repeal all acts and parts
OF acts inconsistent herewith, and tc
provide for the submission OF this act
to the people of this state for their ap.
proval or rejection.
After the usual preliminary proceed
ings on March ~, 1899, the Judiciary
committee made a report recommend
ing that the bill be indefinitely
postponed, which report meant, i
adopted, that the state senate refused
the people the right of expressing
their opinion on this matter.
On March %, 1899, the matter cam,
up for consideration on the question
in the following form: ''Shall the re
port of the Judiciary Committee "
adopted?' and there were ayes 81 ant
nays 80. Those who voted IN tn,
affirmative, that is those who voted t.
refuse the voters of the state the RICH

Sinful Doings in Boston

There must be some wicked people
in Boston who ARE given to revel and
ungodly glee." Recently a lot Of al
legged citizens conceived the sinful idea
of having beer with their supper after
the theater-what else could be expect
ed in the frequenters of playhouses p
and so tried to get bill through the
great and general court allowing
drinks to be sold after IL o'clock on
week Gays. Being baf1ed in that, they
took &c buying flowers on the Sabbath,
but the local authorities soon put a
stop to such Wickedness, and now
everybody is wondering in what direc-
ton the disorderly element will break
out next time. ... .

There is much good sense in the
following, from Louisville paper:
It has always been strange that tho
railroads have not sold mileage tickets
or books, to be used by anybody. &C.
cordlpg to their own wishes. The
annoying restritions imposed on lin
ted tickets. on excursion tickets,
on round trip tickets, requiring
'lhcaton; - continuous trip and
a time limit, have done much to
arouse opposition to the railroads,
aud much of this opposition is reason
able.
When man buys one thousand
miles Of transportation, he should be
free to use 1t when he pleased, and
free to givs it away. There would
be economy in such a book and in
time they would do away with the
scalper.

The Detroit Rec 1rd makes an i'm
portrait admission. Ii says that TO ex.
pect the railroads. large corporations,
lumbermen. t, paw state campaign
expenses, and then to expact them not
to ask for an@cial legislation in return,
is unreasonable. Therefore 1t believes
IN thu plan # asking for small con-
tributions from The people at large.
There has not been campaign since
1873 in which the republican party Of
the state has not been aided by the
contributions form special interests,
and naturally they have received a
great deal in return. A good way Of
looking at this matter Of campaign
contributions is to concede that people
Of all parties are. or ought to be in
terested in giving all candidates All
equal CHARGE It has therefore been
suggested that the state, after all tick
cts have bsea placed in the field,
should pay the reasonable expenses,
under fixed limits, Of each candidate,
strictly prohibiting any other expense.
The proposal seems somewhat revclu.
tionary but there are advantages A
poor man could run for an Office with
out mortgsging himself to special in
terests for assistance and the weaker
;.olitical parties would secure the
;ght of representation on the ballot
I'd there would be removal Of the cor.
poraton as a campaign contributor.
The corporation contribution can,
no 4ever, be reached in another way
By the prohibition of the act, and sew
ere penalties, even to the annulment
of the charter.

that the arm was only wrenched and
the young lady had been severely

The regular monthly meeting OF

ing 1t was announced that in an ad
joining room a sumptous luncheon
had been prepared by Mr.. Lutes. and
that the association proposed in this
pleasant manner to celebrate the cleo
tion of DR.. Bull to the high office. The
popular physician was completely sur
prised but his appreciation of the
affair was very great. The luncheon
consisted of a most delicious menu.
Several toasts were responded to
in a happy manner.

PEOPLE REPUDIATED
REIGN OF "BIG FIVE

1t is time to rejoice that the power
of the machine in Republican poll
tics in Mesa county has been broken.
That two and perhaps three of the
great ofiicies of the county have been
lost to the Republicans. is due large
ly to the domination of the big
FIVE"
With practically no campaign fund
save the contributions of the nomi-
nees and few loyal Democrats. the
victory won by the county Democ-
racy, aaglnst the odds of large nor
nal majority and an untold amount
of campaign funds used by the Re
publicans, is signal one, at which
all good Democrats rejoice.
The Republican machine in this
city, known as the big five" dared to
say to the voters you must accept
any nomination that we hand out TO
you, whether you like 1t or not and
vote for such nominees, but this is
one of the times when the rank and
file and the thinking men and women

big Five" and taught them a les.
son that they will not soon forget,
1t is almost beyond the power of
conception to the Republican lead
ers that they have lost the two great
est offices of this county. Had there
been sufficient money with which the
Democrats could have made can
vass of the county for their whole
ticket, the result would have been
even a greater surprise than 1t has
been and would have been an old fash
! ioned landslide.
The leaders of the Republican
party in this county had rather lost
the entire state ticket than the two
leading Offices of the county and per
haps three.
Had not one single candidate on
the Democratic ticket been elected
and the majorities of two years ago,
which ranged from five hundred to
twelve hundred been reduced to the
narrow margins that they have been.
it might be considered n victory for
/ democracy and the splendid ticket
placed in the field.
No Democrat has reason, SO far
as the county campaign is concerned
to feel in the least depressed over the
results, rather he should feel elat-
ed over the magnificent campaign
and vote which the party nominees
received.

THE REASON

DR.. Scarborough is located at 230
Ute avenue instead of on Main street,
Is because there are no offices of con-
venience, vacant on Main street and
he is perfectly satisfied where he is,
and is daily attending TO the eyes of
the best people in the city. If you
do not care enough for your eyes 10
go two or three blocks out of your
way to get the BEST that SCIENCE,
SKILL, RESEARCH and EXPER-
IENCE can supply. then you will have
to take the other kind of eye attention
DIR. Scarborough guarantees salts
faction in EVERY case or 1t will not
be undertaken. You people who have
severe headaches, and you skeptics
are the people the doctor is anxious
to have call at his office in order to
convince you of his ability-no
charge will be made for the examina-
tion and advice. If you have any kind
of eye trouble don't fail to see him
if you are unwilling to have your
eyes tampered with. Remember the
address.

PASSES TO REST
Mrs. Edward F. Eldridge After Suffer.
ing for Weeks, Passes from
This Life to Brighter
World-Funeral
Thursday.

In the closing hour of yesterday
afternoon Death that sometimes baf-
fed but never completely vanquished
monster, entered the home of DIR.
Edward F. Eldridge and the spirit of
the devoted wife and mother took its
flight from earth into the World
above. And while the coming OF
death was not unexpected as the end
has been near for days, the announce
ment of the sorrow and bereavement
that had come to the Eldridge home
was received with sincere regret
throughout the city.
Cancer of the bowels was the cause
of death. For the past six weeks she
has suffered terribly. Two years
ago Mrs. Eldridge sustained fall
and 1t is believed by the physicians
that this fall was the direct cause of
the cancer that robbed her of her
life.
Jennie f. MeClary was the maiden
name of Mrs. Eldridge and she was
member of a prominent family re-
siding in New York state. near Syra-
cuse, she was born in 1864 and was
therefore forty-two years old. On
June /, 1882, she was united in mar
riage to DR.. E. F. Eldridge In 1892
the family came to Colorado and have
resided in Grand Junction since that
year. Three children were born to
DR.. and Mrs. Eldridge, Mrs. w. A.
Peery, and two little children, Ed.
ward and eJnnie, all of whom were
at the bedside yesterday afternoon
when the end came.
Some weeks ago DR.. C. E. McClary
city physician of Syracuse, New York,
brother of Mrs. Eldridge, came to
the city and remained with his sis
ter as long as he could, leaving only
few days ago for his eastern home
She is survived by two other sisters
and one other brother.
Mrs. Eldridge was woman OF
beautiful character and noble charac-
home and her family and was of that
disposition that made and held many
warm friends. Her life has been q
worthy one, and the taking away OF
this mother and wife who was in the
silver prime Of life, is a sad blow to
| family and friends.
On tomorrow afternoon the funer-
al services will be held at the resi-
dence on Chipeta avenue and Rev. C.
W. G. Lyon, rector of st. Matthew g
Episcopal church. will be in charge.
The interment will take place at Or
chard Mesa cemetery, Undertaken
Gourley directing the funeral ar
rangements. The hour of the funeral
it 1880 O'Clock.
The sympathy of the entire com
munlty is with DIR. Eldridge. who is
one of the city's Oldest and most
prominent physicians. and to the
motherless children.
