OUR SHAM HOLIDAY.

Are we to be for ever burdened with
that sham holiday, Bennington Battle
The Barre Times, noting the fact of
the sham, suggests that perhaps it
would be a good idea for the chief exec

of the holiday reasonably in advance
and by so doing encourage an obser-
vance. Then, if that means fails, let
US abolish the holiday"

Denuer Markets.
DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
January 1.-THE receipts of cat
tie were heavy at the local yards
last week and some good stuff
included. The trade was active
as there was strong demand for
everything and prices closed Is
to 25 cents higher on the good
grades with medium cattle strong
to dime higher. Today's mar
ket here was steady to firm
though eastern markets were
sharply lower under heavy re-
ceipts. Good beef steers were
wanted and sold well. A bunch
of 100 head of good North Park
hay feds brought Sc. 90, the high
price of the season, and most of
the pretty good steers sold at
$5. 90 to $5.65. Cows were active
and higher. One fancy hay fed
COW from South Park sold at
$5.25, the high price paid here
this year, and four loads of
North Park hay feds sold this
morning at $4.7O. Good western
slope cows brought $40 and
most of the good to choice killers
brought $3.50 to %.3O. Feeder
and stocker demand was very
strong and the market in fine
shape. Good to choice steers
brought $4,OO to $3.50 with the
fair to good mostly at $3.45 to
$500. Corn prices are gradually
working lower now and with this
decline comes a better demand
for feeding steers as a great
many of the corn belt finishers
who have been holding back on
account of the high cost of feed
are now getting into the game
and filling up their feed lots. A
large number of these feeders
always come to Denver for their
stuff and the demand here is for
this reason unusually heavy just
now. Many eastern feeders are
arranging to be in Denver dur
ing the week of the stock show,
January 18th to 23rd to buy
feeding cattle and the trade in
this line is expected to be espec-
tally heavy at that time.

One of the wholesome cases
coming out of the South is the
conviction of half a dozen night
riders in Tennessee, who are to
be hung for murder. 1t is high
time a check was put upon those
property-destroying, numbering
cut-throats in the South, and the
Tennessee example of last weeks
court finding is encouraging. Or
ganized lawlessness is a thing too
menacing to any state, locality
or section of the United States to
be allowed to go unpunished.
Pennsylvania had it's siege first
with the Mollies, and Colorado
has had its full share of trouble
with murderous members of the
W. F. l.. In this state the trou-
BILE is over with, unless the new
political administration of the
state should foster them. which

Already the massive brains of
Colorado's statesmen are at work

This is a regular occurrence ev-
cry two years the too frequent

to wipe it out altogether. If
these expensive by-plays were
calculated to accomplish any
particular thing of Importance,
it would not matter so much, but
all the effort so far made has
failed to check the local game

1t seems that President Roose-
is not the first or only great man
to become exercised over the
freedom of the press. Napoleon
once sued the editor of London
newspaper for libel and got a
verdict. Leigh Hunt and his
brother went to Jail for two
years for libeling the Prince of
Wales, afterward George w.
The alien and sedition laws
were invoked to convict an edi-
tor in Vermont who had spoken
evil of President John Adams.
James G. Blaine instituted suit
against the Indianapolis Sentinel
for a particularly atrocious libel
in the campaign of 1884, but the
case was never tried. Governor
Pillsbury of Minnesota under
threat of a $4,000 libel suit
made the St. Paul Globe retract
a story that he was manipulat-
ing the election returns in 1896.
Secretary of the Interior Villas
came all the way to Minneapolis
in 1886 to have William Welch
indicted for an alleged libel
growing out of some insurance
transactions in Wisconsin years
before.
The remarkable thing about
these cases is that few or none
Of them came into court, and the
public was robbed of the specta-
Gle of very great or very promi-
nent men giving their testimony
on the witness stand. The pub
lie does not stand for lawsuits
growing out of politics. The
juries usually disagree. When
they do come to decision they
often award funny damages, as
one Hennepin county jury did
when it gave Ignatils Donnelly
a verdict of l cent against the

Installation of Gooernor
and State Officials.

eSsa0 0s0sS S.Ut(tASos
Ceremonies of the simplest kind
marked the installation of Governor
Shafroth Tuesday. The auditorium
holding IA. 600 people was thrown open
to the public and without any parade
or military pomp the oath of office was
administered to all the new state Off
cials.
Both the House and Senate adjourned
at II 80 and the retiring state officials
and the incoming ones as well went to
the Governors office and from there
went in various groups to the audi
torium.
Lieutenant Governor Harper presid-
ed during the early part of the cere-
monies and Secretary of State Steel
administered the oath to Governor-elect
Shafroth. The new Governor then
read his speech which occupied hour
and 10 minutes. The Supreme Court
Judges were then sworn in and Lieu
tenant Governor Fitzgerald who there
after presided. One by one all the
AS"Ay SAS$SCA ot0tC OluSCKo LuCu re-
ceived their oaths of office.
The last act of the retiring Governor
was to Internationally pardon Frank
Bass, a negro who was sentenced to
life Imprisonment from Denver seven
years ago for numbering his sweet
heart Bass, while in Jail, had been
the servant of the jailor's wife, Mrs
Cleghorn, and it was her intercession
with the Governor which secured for
him his pardon.
Treasurer Bent today turned over TO
his successor, Treasurer Galligan, cash
vouchers and warrants and check to
the amount of 50, ,24D5D. OF this
amount check on the First National
Bank of Denver was given for the
amount of 81, 456. .3s7. AZ.
Galligan filed bond for 81 POS. 600.
A million dollar bond is required by
law. David Moffatt went on his bond
to the extent of half a million, Thomas
Keely and several others for amounts
of sl00. 900 each and many for less
amounts.
Governor Shafroth, in discussing his
administration stated, II shall use all
my time in performing my duties as
Governor. am not to be candidate
for United States Senate. want to
do my very best during my administra-
tion and then retire to private life. In
filling all offices shall strive to ex-
