rcDage and appropriations viii be di-
rected for the benefit Of the dominant
ring, and the state institutions will
probably be petted or disciplined with
the same end in view
When it comes TO matters outside the
domain of partisan politics the situa-
ton may develop unexpected difficult
ties for the gentlemen who are plan
ming to control things. For instance,
the question of the two state univer-
stiles is full of trouble and has been
aggravated by the attempt Of the ma
chine to inject a political issue If
state education can be dragged into
politics then nothing can be exempt;
and if the Agricultural college is to be
made part of the machine, a first
class revolt is In prospect. Eren Re-
publican Legislature may we'll hesitate
before IL undertakes to convert edu-
cational work into machine politics
The practical question involved in con-
sideration of these two colleges has no
more part in politics than have the
public schools; and the first attempt
to make a party issue out of the mat
ter ought to be signal for trouble.
This and other important questions,
like the appropriations. the coal lands.
the railroad commission, the distribu-
ton of state educational funds, the
regulation of water rights by the state
engineer and the reclamation service
will require wise consideration and un-
selfish action. If the Republicans fail
in any particular. the Democratic mi
nority, small as IL is. can do a great
public service by calling attention to
the derelictions of the majority and
pointing out what the public good re-
quires. They cannot possibly be held
responsible for any legislation that
may be enacted, but they can and will
be held to account for any failure 10
check wrongs or forward good mea-
ures.

There is something peculiarly pa
thetic about the death of Mrs Joseph
Lippman, which took place in this city
yesterday. Young. beautiful. beloved
by all who knew her, she had every
thing that makes life dear and desira-
bic. In the face of odds she knew
werc hopeless, she preserved her win
someness, her courage and good cheer
to the end. and leaves a memory only
Of smiles and sunshine and charm.
Even when the shadows grew long and
the end approached she smiled defiance
at fate and made death seem only a
welcome release. Endowed with un-
usual attractions, her going away is a
tragic loss to those who loved her;
their only consolation is the knowledge
that she has passed beyond suffering
and sorrow and heartache to the
realm where there are no more tears.
and sorrow and signing shall flee away.

And pray what Of that?
IT'S as good as the rest of my raiment.
