aiadstone,s Rmh

Giadstone's activity as a book COZ
Iector Is Interestingly discussed In an
article on his library in the Nine
teenth Century. He took to reading
at a very early age. and. like many
another boy. was enthralled by -PI-
grimis Progress" and the Arabian
Nights" In his school days. and In
deed through his whole career, he was
an eager student Of Homer. Late In
life he confessed an enormous debt to
Aristotle. Augustine, Dante and But.
Ter. When he was 80 years old his
growing library necessitated the add
ton Of new wing to the castle at
Hawarden. Yet he was by no means
q rabid book-buyer." For rare book,
first editions and elaborate bindings
he had no special passion. though he
was glad enough to get them. SEQ
ond-hand catalogues" rained In by
every post, and were always carefully
scanned and marked for immediate
purchase" Mr.. Gladstones tastes ran
strongly to religion. theology. and
such kindred topics as history and
philosophy. He was. In fact. some
times accused Of being more theo-
logian than statesman. Whenever he
saw a book on witchcraft, strange re-
ligious sects and the ethics of mar.
riage, he invariably bought It; but. as
everyone is aware, he was an omniv.
orous reader; he enjoyed Shakespeare
and Scott and he liked to run over
the last new novel.

1t is not everyone who, when hi.
sanity is challenged, can produce the
documents to prove his mental equi
librium. Harper's Weekly tells the
story: An Ohio politician enjoys
telling of political discussion he
once overheard in a country grocery
store. In some way the argument
quite heated one, degenerated into a
dispute in which one side took the
position that the others were crazy
to entertain such political tenets as
theirs. At this point solemn-lookine
individual, who up to this time had
held his peace, suddenly interjected:
Gents, want to say that I'm the
only sane man here that has the pa.
pers to prove it," The crowd gazed
upon him in establishment. "It is
true, gents" continued the solemn.
looking individual, as he drew forth a
document from the recesses of his
coat. here's my discharge from the
state insane asylum"

English VS.. American Railways.

English VS.. American Railways.
The upshot Of comparison between
English and American railways is that
each country has provided itself with
the system that, broadly considered.
answers its own needs the best, and
that, when all circumstances are taken
into account, neither has much to
learn from the other. Certain great
defects stand out in each; English
railway financing and American rail-
way carelessness are both deserving
of censure. Yet these defects, says
Ray Morris, in Atlantic Monthly, are
quite explainable in their outgrowth
from the physical conditions at hand.
and they are not amenable to any off,
hand remedy. Likewise, certain points
of especial attractiveness, such as the
English baggage system and the
punctuality of trains, and the Amer
lean luxury of through travel, have
arisen from a complicated set Of local
circumstances, and could not be trans
planted unless all the circumstances
were transplanted as we'll Most forci-
BILE of all is the impression gained by
such study that the essential belief,
the very greed and doctrine of one
country, as regards the economics of
its railway working, may not be so
much as discussed in another, where
the same ultimate problem is gotten
at in a wholly different way.

Denver. Col. Dec. 5.-Interstste

cials Of the Denver 4 Rio Grande rail-
road. the Colorado Fuel & Iron com.
pany and the American Smelling &
Refining company have been sum.
moned to give testimony at the hear
Ing In this city which will continue
two days.
]. F. Welborn. vice president Of the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company, was
called upon to name the mines owned
and operated by that company and
was then examined in regard to the
connection Of the fuel company with
the Colorado Wyoming railroad. He
denied community Of interests be-
tween the two companies, but on be-
Ing questioned acknowledged that
over So per cent of the freight on the
railroad was handled for the Colorado
Fuel & Iron company. The witness
said there had been a shortage OF
cars for some time and said nearly
all the mines had been closed at diff
ferent periods owing to the shortage.
He said there had been a general ur-
gent demand for coal this winter and
that on many orders the company
were two months or more behind.
Asked about the alleged discrimina-
ton Of railroads in regard to cars the
witness said he knew of no discrim.
ination either In favor or against the
company.
Mr.. Wellborn said that the rail.
roads made no discriminatory rates In
favor Of the company In its inter
state business, and the only state
discriminatory rates were those which
were brought out In the examination
at Pueblo Monday. In answer to a
question by counsel he said that the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company did
nothing for the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad in return for the low rate.
He said that 1t was necessary for the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company to
have the low rate In order to do bust
ness in Pueblo at a profit. He did
not know that the fact that othe,
manufacturers could not get the same
low rates was the reason that Pueblo
had not become a great manufactur-
ing city.
At the completion of Mr.. Welborn's
testimony Commissioner Clarke said:
Well. Mr.. Wellborn, your testimony
In regard to the shortage of cars re,
solves itself into this: You have
more orders for coal than you can
produce and you can produce more
than you can get cars to carry?"
Yes, SIR" replied the witness.

FOR REPRESENTATIVES,.

DR.. S. p. Greene, of Fruita. one of
the best known citizens of the lower
valley, may be a candidate before the
Democratic county convention for the
nomination of representative from
Mesa county in the state Legislature
As night aoitaoinetaoietaoitaoinu
Last night at the precinct caucus
held at Fruita there was large num-
ber of Democrats present and the
name of S. p. Greene for state repre-
sentative was suggested and met with
general approval and it is pretty
certain that the large Fruita dele
cation will come to the Democratic
county convention and ask that DR..
S. p. Greene be nominated for rep
resentative.
DIR. Greene was seen this morning
but declined to say anything regard
ing as to whether he would make the
race. The people of the lower valley
believe that the doctor would make n
strong candidate.
The Fruita caucus was harmonious
and enthusiastic. A list of nomina-
tions for delegates was made and
a candidate for member of the central
committee nominated. The caucus
was largely attended. Lower valley
Democrats are taking great interest
in the coming election.

As the result of giving publication
to a erroneous report, the truth of or
falsity of which rtport could easily
have beene confirmed had the editor
made the inquiries that he should
have made, the other daily paper got
itself into trouble last night and a
large number of people were justly
made indignant. The sheet announc-
ed as a fact that Mr. Parks, a well
known young gentleman, and Miss
Ethel Peck, the attractive daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs A. J. Peck, had been
married the evening before at the
brides home. There was not word
Of truth in the statement of the other
paper and the young people concern
ed and their relatives and friends be-
came highly Indignant. The editor
of the other sheet who is always max
ing some break of this nature, was
called down hard and heavy and ex-
cused himself by saying that the re-
port was sent in by letter and he sim
ply published it without taking the
trouble to make any inquiries of the
young lady's relatives to see if Ii
cense had been issued. Evidently
some mischief making persons, think
ing to perpetrate a joke sent in the
report but such an act is not a joke
but really dirty piece of business
However the other paper is not ex-
cusable as inquiries should have been
made. OF course the editor of the
other sheet will make a denial and an
apology tonight as he usually does
when he makes some break.
