PRESIDENT AND MIR. CAR
NEGIE AT ODDS.

81 believe in peace and arbitra-
tion, and l also believe in keeping
in such trim that 1t shall be a
temptation to nobody to wrong us.
IF we build up the American
fleet as we ought to build It up,
the other party will not really de-
sire war."-President Roosevelt.
THE simple agreement between
Great Britain and the United
States that upon the inland seas
in the north only two tiny YES
sells, each with one 1S-pounder
gun, should patrol those waters,
the one flying the Union Jack and
the other the Stars and Stripes,
the only shots ever being fired be-
ing salutes expressive of amity
and friendship, makes these YES
sells the most powerful vessels of
war, the true Dreadnoughts, since
there is nought to dread from
them. A nation has everything
to dread from gigantic armed
Dreadnoughts, nothing to dread
from these true agents of peace.
When President Roosevelt is
as old as am he will take a more
roseate view of coming peace.
Will make a friendly compromise
with him and agree that world
peace may be some distance away.
But among ourselves, the nations
OF the Western World, l believe
that permanent peace is near; and
we have a territory in the nations
represented in this union four
times as great as that OF Europe.

 at Least 70, ,ooo.

That the majority of George w. Donaghey for governor will exceed the enormous margin of Gov. John s. Little two years ago is now cer- tain from the official returns thus far received, It is now almost certain that his plurality over John l. Warrington, his Republican opponent, will exceed o,ooo, and it may reach or exceed 75,ooo. Little's plurality two years ago was GA, GOO and was itself record breaker.
 Up to last night official returns from 50 counties had been received at the office of the secretary of state. These 50 counties give Donaghey 76,52 and Warrington 29,IS5, a majority for Donaghey of 47,337. If the same proportion is main. tained in the 25 counties yet tc hear from, MT.

FROM THE
 CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock, Sept. 2I.-R. o. Scheater, who was for some time the editor of the Hot Springs Bull letin, later assistant editor of the Indianapolis Star, has returned to Arkansas to accept the position of State news editor on the Democrat.
 Though the work of rebuilding the Capital Hotel, for many years the most popular hostelry in the state, has but started, the work men have so far cleaned away the walls which have been torn away and erected others, so that an idea of what the new building will be like can be easily seen. None of the outside walls were interfered with, with the exception of one in the back, which was torn away in order that another could be erect ed the full height of the building, which would stand the weight to be placed upon it. The lobby of the new hotel is to be twice the size of the old one, with a large fountain in the center. A force of about 50 laborers is daily engaged in cleaning away the debris so the brlcklayers can go ahead with the new portion of the building.
 Last night a big temperance rally was held in the Auditorium rink at which all which remained unsaid when the street meetings were stopped because Mayor Du- ley refused to allow the lecturers to remain on Fifth and Main streets, on account of a sick wo- man in that vicinity, was burned out last night, every speaker hay ing his respects to pay to the city ministration, as well as to the al legged fradulent voting here during the last election. The temperance workers also took subscriptions to carry on their contest i'll this coun- ty. Many alleged Irregularities were reported during the meeting, which will be used ill the contests before the county court as soon as the funds have been raised to de- tray the expense of the contest.

Peoples Party Platform.

ST. Louis.-The platform adopted by
the Peoples party convention declares
that the issuing of money is IL func-
tion of the government alone that
should not be delegated to any corpo-
ration or industry. The demand is
made that money be issued direct to
the people without the Intervention of
banks and be full legal tender for
all debts, public and private. The
working of the national banking law
is criticised and the demand made that
the power to issue money be taken
from the banks. The Aldrich bill is de-
nounced as "a method by which the
nation and the people can both be
robbed. 1t has not in it an intelligent
purpose that is honest
The Fowler bill is also denounced.
The plank on trusts demands that
the government own and control the
railroads, and all public utilities which
in their nature are monopolies. Own
ershop of the general telegraph and tel
ephone lines and a parcels post are
also asked.
The taxation of monopoly privileges
while they remain in private hands is
another feature of this plank. Other
planks favored initiation and referen-
dun and the power to recall from Of
flee disloyal or inefficient representa-
tives.
The enactment of legislation looking
to the improvement of conditions for
wage earners.
Abolition of child labor and suppress
sion of sweat shops.
Abolition of convict, as opposed to
free labor.
Exclusion from American shores of
foreign pauper labor.
Eight-hour work day and legislation
in favor of safety appliances for work
ingmen.
Enactment of an employers liability
act within constitutional bounds.
Immediate adoption of precaution-
airy measures to prevent repetition
of recent mining disasters.
Work on public institutions in
times of depression. for unemployed
men.

courts from assuming jurisdiction in
vovling the constitutionalty of any
law enacted by Congress and ap-
proved by the President. The maintain
ing of farmers organizations and ex-
tension of their power and influence.

Five Million Carnegie Gift.

New York-Announcem was
made Friday night that Andrew Carne-
gle would add $5.00O.00O to the fund of
the Carnegie foundation or whatever
sum might be necessary to include as
pension beneficiaries eligible profess
sors of state universities.
No provision was made tor this class
of educators in the original gift for the
reason stated by Mr.. Carnegie at tho
time, that the donor thought 1t possi-
BILE that such institutions might prefer
that their relations should continue
exclusively with the state from which
their chief support was derived.
This view was not taken by the Ma
tional Association Of State Universi-
ties, which In the year following the
establishment of the foundation petit
toned the trustees for admittance to
the benefits of the retiring allowance
system. 1t was then found that the
earnings of the original fund Of @10.-
100000 were exhausted through IT,
outlet already planned and that II the
faculties of all state universities were
to be benefited an additional $4,000
900 would be required.

Colorado Railroad Progress.

Denver,-Electriflcat of railroads
seems to be the order of .he day and
numerous Colorado roads are now pre-
pairing to apply the Juice" to parts of
their lines. Gigantic power companies
are throwing their currents all over the
state. rendering electricity compare.
lively cheap commodity, and as 1t
is more available in some ways
than steam power, it will be used very
extensively in the near future.
The Colorado & Southern railroad
has about completed its electric line to
Boulder, Eldorado Springs and other
points. Twelve big new cars are being
finished for this service, and beginning
May 1st, or thereabouts, hourly cars
will run between Denver and Boulder.
The cars are to be delivered in Den
yer April 25th and 1t is thought pos
sible to pu, them in use by May 1st.
This electric line built by the Colo.
RADIO & Southern follows right along
the ne of the steam road, and will be
devoted almost entirely to passenger
traffic. The cars will enter Denver
over the Twenty-third street viaduct
and pass over Arapahoe street. This
will afford suburban service to such
places as Harris and other country
sites near Denver.
The Moffat railroad is now figuring
with the Central Power Company for
electric power in handling heavy trains
over mountain grades. Electric power
enables trains to take the grades with
comparative ease and if the present
plan works out as anticipated the
heavy freight trains may all be taken
across the steep grades Of the divide in
this manner. Electric engines would
be employed at the necessary points to
take the trains over.
Work Oh the Mofrat road proper is
now progressing rapidly and steel rails
are now being laid on the other side
OF Yarmony. A tracklaying machine
is being pressed into service. making it
possible to lay about two miles per day.
About 1000 men will be employed to
take the line into Steamboat Springs
as soon as the weather settles.
