Republicans CrS "Fraud''
~ In a general way the elections turned
out as planned by the parties In con-
! troll. The Republicans. who had only
1.-two seats in the dissolved Parliament,
increased their representation to pos
sibly twenty. In Lisbon they swept
ssthe populous sections of the city. but
gerrymanders in the outside districts
offset in a measure this advantage.
The Republican leaders are raising
the cry of Fraud" They say that
while government pressure seemingly
relaxed, the old electoral machinery
was in full operation, because of the
fear on the part Of the government OF
a great Republican movement. and that
therefore the elections do not repre-
sent in any way the sentiment of the
country.
As the suffrage is limited to those
who can read and write. or who pay
certain direct taxes. the Republicans
contend that it was an easy matter for
the authorities o manipulate the regis
try list against the Republican parti-
sans among the masses, so per cent. of
whom are illiterate. Nevertheless, lead
ers like Machado. Almeida and Cunha
say HI the seats which they won give
them sufficient strength to wage open
war against the old system as soon as
parliament reassenlbles.
PARIS, April 6.-The gravity of the
rioting at Lisbon last night is not yet
known in this city, In accordance with
aold-time practise the censorship of dis
patches was inau2urated as soon as
~bloodshed occurred.
Dispatches received from Lisbon are
meagre and mutilated and do not give
a clear picture of what has happened
there. 1t is evident. however, that the
Republicans began the demonstrations
because of the motheds used to sup
press their votes.

The Pullman Buffet.

1t is stated that the Pullman COM
pany will gradually dispose of it's pres
ent stock of Intoxicating beverages
and eventually none will be served in
the company's cars throughout the
United States. 1t is expected that this
can be made effective March 10 in
New England and the middle states.
This is the result of local option and
state prohibition, and to escape an
noying perplexities caused by these
laws. Officials of the company say
also that for several years there has
been a tendency upon their part to-
ward discontinuance of the sale of
liquor, as the result has been at times
for passengers to become uRruly and
obnoxious owing to free indulgence.
There has been growing opinion
that it has been Improbable to serve
liquor owing to many passengers re-
fusing to patroniZe buffet cars on this
account At the same time there are
many habitual travellers who demand
certain beverages when they dine and
who will carry with them their drinks

Drug Store For Hcrses.

81 came across q queer little drug
store the other day" said the city sales
man. 1T makes Il speciality of vet
erinarian prescriptions. According to
the proprietor's own account. they don't
sell very much in that store except
horse medicine. They sell more of
that than any other drug store in town.
The neighborhood abounds in stables
and animals hospitals. and most of the
drugs used in doctOring sick horses are
bought at that store. OF course the
place is fitted up with the usual drug
store paraphernalia. There is a soda
water fountain, cigar stand, postage
stamps can be purchased there and
drafts and doses for human beings will
be compounded upon request, but those
familiar and supposedly primary func-
tons of a drug store are in this case a
superhuity because about all that drug
gist does is to put up cures for equine
ailments."-New York Press.

such good time in their lives as they
had in Denver.
THE impression prevails in some
quarters that the hotels of Denver put
up the money and paid the expenses
of the democratic convention. This
is a mistake. Only very small part
of the money was advanced by the ho-
tells and consequently any statements
made to the effect that the hotels are
trying to get their money back and
are raising prices are without founda-
ton. The prices will not be raised be-
cause the hotel men regard the con-
vention merely as their regular sum-
mer business and there is no occasion
to charge more than at ordinary times,
the hotel capacity OF the city of Den
yer being ample for all purposes"

the depositors rather than for the
stockholders, because the stockholders
are able TO protect themselves, while
the depositors are helpless.
What security do you give your de-
positors that other banks do not give
their depositors? Is it that the officers
of your bank are better men? They
may die, and inferior men take their
places. Is it because your directors
are better than other directors? The
board of directors may change. Is it
because your stockholders are better
than others? Your stock is sold on
the market and change may take
place any day in the ownership of the
stock that will entirely change the
character of the bank; and if such
change takes place, who will know it?
1.-The fact is that the country is suf-
in banks more than from any other
cause The money cannot be drawn
from hiding and boarding unless the
depositors are assured of the safety
of the banks. The amount of the tax
on each bank would be little COM
pared with the benefit which it would
receive from its share of the increased
deposits, and as for making banks I'M
safe, the guarantee system will in
sure safer banking.
Il thank you for your letter. Your
position in the banking world is so
prominent that | can assume that you
have said all that can be said in OPP
position to the guaranteed bank, and
when you fail so completely to make
out a case and show so conclusively
that you take a one-sided view of the
subject and ignore the welfare of de
positors and of the country at large,
need not expect that any stronger ar
guments will be produced by any one
else. l think your letter will make an
excellent campaign document because
it shows that the depositors must look
out for their own interests and secure
legislation for their own protection"

REPUBLICANS WORKING
WITH THE DEMOCRATS
Everybody in Denver Boosting to
Make the National Convention
There a Big Success.

at is a strange sight to see republi-
can and democrats working together
in harmony, but that is what is taking
place in Denver nowadays said Wis
itor to this city, from the west to
newspaper reporter yesterday. There
will be a meeting of first Importance
to Colorado held in Denver, July Z.
when the delegates for the national
democratic committee meet there to
nominate ticket. Denver citizens
without regard to party are working
hard 10 make everybody who comes
feel at home. There was a compact
Between democrats and republicans
before the convention was secured
that makes it the duty of every citizen
10 live up to his best behavior while
the convention is here.
THE citizens of Denver sent a COM
mittee to the east to secures either the
republican or democratic convention
for this year. The residents of Dem
yer guaranteed the expenses of the
convention to the extent of 100000
and it was stipulated that if the re-
publican convention, which meets first,
could be secured the committee was
| to go after the democratic convention,
10 be held at later date and an adj
ditional 100000 would be provided to
| help pay its expenses also.
"The efforts of the Denver commit
tee to secure the republican conven-
ton were unsuccessful, So that meet
ing went to Chicago. The effort then
made to secure the meeting of the
democratic convention succeeded and
the republicans of Colorado were
bound to stand by the arrangement
and make the convention a success the
same as democrats would have been
bound had the republican convention
been secured. The Chamber of
| Commerce of the city of Denver COM
posed of democrats and republicans
alike, is doing everything in its power
to insure the success of the conven-
ton. 1t is strictly non-partisan,
the object being the good that will ac
crue to the city of Denver by enter
tanning the delegates to the large con.
vention royalty and having them GO

mer' calculated the young author as
the car swooped down upon a white
house nestled among the trees.
Murray helped him carry his belong
ings into the big airy bedroom and
then returned to town, with a curious
smile lighting his face.
The place proved ideal for Orville's
purpose. The farmer and his wife
were quiet people, little given to
speech. They never disturbed him
when he was at work even to the eX-
tent of summoning him to a meal.
When hunger drove him from his work,
no matter what the hour might be,
| food was prepared without an objec-
ton. A beautiful winding river with
| incurving shores swept through the
farm, and here at eve Dick Orville was
wont to repair for inspiration. I'm
der these bliSsful conditions his ideas
developed and unfolded charmingly.
Then there came the inevitable ending.
II am sorry faltered his landlady
one morning. but Hiram went to the
postofice today, and he found a letter
from a young lady in the city. She is
an artist and wants to come here to
paint and to be alone"
| "Well, write TO her that she can't
come" replied Orvile quickly. I'll
pay you double
"It's too late" said Mrs. Glidden.
You see, the letter was written a week
ago. We don't get our mail only once
in awhile. She said If she didn't hear
to the contrary she'd come today. But
III try and find her another place near
here. The Aliens take boarders. l may
have to keep her overnight if she
comes. Would you like to hear her let
ter?''
Before he could politely decline this
proffer Mrs. Glidden began to read the
letter, which was girlishly written. She
said that she longed for place where
she could be quiet, some place that was
remote from neighbors, where she
could paint and dream ut Will; that q
friend in passing the Glidden farm had
thought it would be just the kind OF
place she craved and had written heI
about 1t.
Some Of Orville's Irritation vanished
upon hearing the letter. There was 6
note of appeal in it, q reflection of his
own mood, that touched him.
"She evidently Graves solitude al
much as 1 do and so she will avoid
me-" he thought.
