1t docs beat all how the western
people are always courting the hallu-
cination Of discontent. From now un-
I'll snow flies thousands OF dissatisfied
men in Colorado will be pulling up
stakes and hiking out for green fields
and pastures new. A fellow OF this
kind never knows when he Is well of.
He parts with his farm and live stock
and moves tn Oklahoma. Then he
takes his good money aud buys farm
which today is aud tomorrow is not,
because the wind has blown IL away.
Then lie hears OF Texas and goes down
there among the chiggers TO hunt a
bag OF gold at the end OF rainbow.
In the daytime he scratches sandburs
out OF his flesh, and at night cent?
pedes crawl over his face. When his
money,is all gone, he begins to feel
like he did the first night he stayed
away from home. He yearns for good
old Colorado. and the yearn sticks In
his throat and chokes him until tears
come into his eyes. He would give q
months work to see the water run
ming down the ditch on his old ranch.
A man OF this sort IS the prince OF
misfortune, whose hindsight is better
than his foresight, and who is always
coming out OF a dream after It Is too
late.-Denver Field and Farm.

Tragic Reminder of auayism

Nashville IenneSSeean.
 George Wallace Delamater. who was nOuay's. nominee for Governor of Penn Syilvania in 1890 and was defeated py Robert E. Patterson, committed suicide the other day in Pittsburg. This is the ninth tragic death among those as soicated with~> Quay and his corrupt rule, and the fourth suicide. The Philadelphia North American gives the following list of those unfortunates, at once f.-tors and victims of the famous Quay system:
 J. Blake Walters, state treasury cash fer: suicide
 Amos c. Moves, state treasurer; died of broken heart because of dis grace.
 William Livsey. state treasurer; fled in disgrace; now dead.
 Benjamin J. Haywood, state treas urer and cashier; died of grief over disgrace.A
 William B. Hart state treasurer; died under the strain.
 John S Hopkins, cashier of the wreck ed Peoples Bank; suicide.
 A. Wilson Norris, auditor general;
 T. Lee Clark. cashier of wrecked En- terprise National Bank. Allegheny: sui eide.
 George W. Delamater., defeated can didate for governor. ruined banker: suicide.
 In this dark roll of disgrace and destruction is seen the legacy of Quay to his co-WorkerS ana dluS III Ahlquity. They were but tools in the hands oI 8 master workman who used them and threw them away, broken, soiled and ruined for honest use. Delamater when Quay took him as the machine candidate to fight Patterson and re- form, had been a docile and obedient Quay henchman in the State Senate and besides this qualification he pos sessed a showy and magnetic gift oi talk which was counted on to do much i9 overconinR the popular confidence in Patterson.
