the party would have to raise a fund
by small contributions from friends
of democracy.

views of Bryan and have the cour-

THE RUMPUs A DISGRACE.

The political campaign thus lar
has been marked by the greatest
amount of mud-slinging and per-
sonal attack of any that the writer
remembers. The sad part OF 1t is
that the peculiar rumpus is largely
carried on by men highest In their
respective parties. Almost as plain
az the word itself. about half a
dozen, including the president Of the
United States, have been calling each
other liars.
In view OF the fact that one OF
the parties to the different contro-
versies now holds the highest place
within the nations gift. two others
are now competing for that place,
and the two or three more most
prominently connected with the
trouble might even aspire to the
position. it looks like a very poor
example for them to be setting for
the rest of the country.
That some of these men may haze
felt the influence Of Standard Oil
money, as charged, may be true;
but there must be a proper way of
getting at corrupt public servants be-
sides through a political campaign.
1t seems to make but little differ
ence to which of the big political
parties one may turn, they have beth
been tarred with the same stick. 1t
might not be amiss to turn out the
whole lot of them, elect the orohtbi-
tion ticket, and then hire some good
man to do the government job right.
It is a blooming disgrace to have the
men in Office that are there. or want
to be there. If what they are telling
on each other is even half true.

JUST A FEW THOUGHTS.

The electric railway proposition IS
being considered seriously by many
Greeley people right now. on account
Of the offer just made by the inter-
urban Construction company OF Dem
YER, but nspite of the assurances
Of the Denver men that line from
here to Denver would greatly benefit
Greeley, there is considerable doubt
in the minds of many Of the substan-
tial business men that this would be
70. The only sure way to find out Is TO
try it, and II it then proves a bad
thing, it cannot be remedied. The
electric railway is sure to come some
day, az sure as was the steam road
many years ago, but 1t Is question
in Just what form.
The talk that all the promoters
have put up 80 far is that the east
ern capitalists want enough local sup
port to insure the friendly feelings
Of the community toward the road.
That may or may not be 80. Very
few railroads If any have been built
With the money subscribed by the
people of the sections through which
they pass. II the proposition is
eood one. the right people will dis
cover it some day and build the line.
We do not believe that the Gree
Icy district should subscribe for 500,
900 worth of bonds drawing only
per cent. interest, for the sake OF
securing a road, which according to
the statement of the promoters would
earn not less than $1.000.000 annu-
ally upon the business furnished by
the same community that is asked to
finance the proposition. It looks
- though it would be quite enough
for the local people to do for COM
pany over which they have no con-
troll.
Maybe we want an electric railroad.
o. another steam road. In that case
there are three local companies work
ing on such projects, in which the
stock is absolutely controlled here
1t present. Another outlet to Dem
YER can be built at something less
than the 100000, though not such
. line as the Interurban Construc-
ton company promises, but If this
district is going to subscribe heavy
amount to any road, it would be bet
ter for everybody here to unite on
one of the local projects and carry
that to completion. Better than a
line to Denver would be system
Of lines running through the Gree
ley district, and connecting all of
Weld county with the county seat |
There is absolutely nothing new
in the proposition of the InterurbaI
Construction company. There is the
same great bunch of promotion stock
controlled by few, representing
nothing, against the money that the
local people are asked to put up.
That is just what has kept the local
companies from making more head
way, and it is hardly reasonable to
expect that the Greeley people will
invest in thing brought in from
the outside, in preference to the
same kind of a deal inaugurated
right at home.
The Tribune has been persistent
booster for another railroad here,
but it believes the field is attractive
enought SO that it should not have
to give the whole thing and give
somebody else all the profits of the
enterprise.
