Bouider's Fifty Years.

Denver.-A Boulder dispatch says:
Fifty years ago, the 18th OF this
month. the first actual settlement was
made in Boulder. For two years be-
fore that a stage station had been es-
tablished. but until that date no real
settlement was made. Five or six
families then arrived on what is now
the site Of Boulder and built their
homes, forming the nucleus from
which sprung the city. Five women
comprised the entire female popula,
ton Of the camp during the winter
and, while there was considerable &C
tiyity in the new mining district which
had been discovered above the city,
and the population reached several
hundred during the long winter which
followed, no further addition to the
female population was made until
spring. Only one survivor remains
here. She is "Auntie" Brookfield. who
hale and hearty. loves to recount the
hardships OF earlier days and to pre-
dict q greater future for the state she
loves SO well. .---.--....-.

End of the Landis Fine.

Baltimore American,
 With due formaIity the Supreme Court of the United States has pro- nounced the obsequies of the famous fine of S2s.000.000, imposed by Judge Landis, of the United States Court of Appeals for the seventh district. upon the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. That notable mulcting of the octopus was hailed as a veritable boarding of monopoly in its lair. But 1t was also hailed by discerning persons as grand stand play. The action of the higher court in setting aside the fine. the scathing opiniopsesefs Judge Groscup caused a profound sensation. Not only was the fine ridiculed, but the course of the court in arriving at it's opinion was also ridiculed.
 But all that is a matter of past his- tory. The pertinent fact now is that the Federal law department in seeking to have a writ of certiorart to order up the record of the case for review has met ,rebuff. The ruling of the Supreme bench adverse to the appeal leaves the decision of the Court of Appeals stand Ing. Thus the fine is finally set aside. The highest court of the land has regis- tered its view that there must be an end to adjudication somewhere, and that to order a review of the Standard oil case would be revolutionary, there be- ing no broad grounds of exception to warrant such a course.
 This end of the matter was anticip- ated by most persons. It was, seen that the administration in making it's latest appeal was taking the course of leaving no stone unturned to secure the clamping of the enormous fine upon the company. The outcome gives satis- faction not because of sympathy for the corporation, but because the decis- ion of the Court of Appeals so clearly showed the error of the Landis course of reasoning and the methods of trial as to make the fine at variance with the principles Of justice.
 Lawyers will point out how the fa- nous case may be retried with prac- tically the same evidence and in the same court of trial; but If this were done, some other fine would be tmpos- ed, not the one in question. That Is forever and irrevocably done for. The Attorney General may have the case re. tired. and secure a conviction to the qualification of the country; put no such exorbitant fine will again be imposed

TURKEY TO CROW GREAT.
New York Times.

New York Times.
 Professor Ferraro sounded a note of warning last night in connection with the new constitution of Turkey. Ii has been hailed with congratulations by every civilized power, and yet, in his opinion, 1t means the rise of Q strong. vigorous Turkey. which will re- sent the continued exploitation of its resources by the powers of Europe. He was speaking before "the Judeans' at the Hotel Astor, and was one of those who considered the Balkan ques- ton with special relation to Jewish fn- terests. Professor R. J. H. Gottheil pre- sided. and in introducing Professor Fer raro called attention to the<harm done to the Turkish Empire in the past by the Chicanery and treachery called di- piomacy and to the special debt of grat- itude the Jewish people owed the Turks for throwing open to them their doors when other nations shut them out.
 Professor Ferraro spoke in French and began by pointing out that every nation in Europe had expressed great satisfaction at the abolition of the tyr amy of the Sultan. Yet the adoption of the constitution may very well fore shadow a period of conflict with ths European powers, he declared.
 He explained this by the natural de- sire of the Young Turk party for . strong national government to give their country chance to develop it. self. For years, ever since the Berlin Congress of 1878, the Turks had seen themselves exploited by the other na- tfons. Great financial interests in their country had been acquired by foreign CTS They cared nothing for the good of the Turks, but sought only their own advantage. Much of the corrup- tion of the Turkish government had been due to the back stairs influence oi foreigners, who stopped at nothing to obtain their ends.
 This underhand manoeuvering would have no scope now that a Turkish par liament had been set up, the speaixeE continued Turkey, he said, needs . strong government. and when that has been established. Professor Ferraro be- lieves that the powers may find 1t dif- ferent matter to deal with the empire. In fact, it may even lead to a conflict.

MONDAY. JANUARY il. lsos.
 sHE TALKED OUT.

when she so chooses a woman can put her thoughts into strong lan- xuage. But few of them, compara" lively, ever attempt to make public speeches but when they go at it they are apt to say things A few days ago there was a session of Wo- mans Peace Congress held in New York and one of the speakers denied the oft-repeated declaration that the man Is stronger than the woman. Then another sister got up and went at it this way:
 Just think! If a man had to tie hifnseif up in the middle and wear a lot of drapery round his limbs; if he had to look after the house and the children. and attend to social duties and change his collar. two or three times a day-how much energy would he have left for self development A man just does one little thing and thinks he is so wonderful. If Wo" man could wear trousers and derby hats and do only one thing instead of a million, such geniuses as they would become the world has never yet seen
 Now, we insist that the esteemed sister was somewhat extravagant in her language. We do not believe that any woman ever does a million things in a day. 1t matters not how busy she may get We know some of them can accomplish a great many things in a day, and many of them are things that a man couldn't do. but this speaker piled 1t on pretty heavy, we rather think. And then just think how woman would look if dressed in trousers and a derby hat. We don't think we could admire her quite so much that way. even though she might take some of mans trials and tribulations of his shoulders.
 And yet, any fair minded man must know and admit that woman-and we refer especially to married ones unless she is in peculiarly fortunate circumstances. must perform and en- dure infinitely more tests of patience. determination and endurance than the average man could do. At the same time, she might not and could not endure mans work in general any more than he could submit to her trials. There Is room and work in this great world for both sexes, each in its sphere but there Is no occasion for one to demean the other or try to usurp the others place.

Prohibition Above Democracy.

CnarleSlon NeWS ana courier. e. ......
 The action of the State Prohibition Democrats in the Legislature of Ten- nessee in refusing to participate in a Democratic caucus and in combining with the Republicans to organize the two Houses. plan which they sue cessfully carried out. is a practical demonstration that the Democratic Party in a Southern State Is not strong enough to hold together when an issue foreign to 1t and appealing so power fully to many men as does prohibition Is introduced.
 It is useless to censure the Tennessee Prohibitionists, who have thus deserted the Democratic Party in an emergency. It one be more of Prohibitionist than a Democrat. 1t is not necessarily to his discredit. A Tennesseean may abandon one party and join another without in- curing the guilt of felony, but a Ten nessee Democratic legislator may not refuse to enter his partys caucus and act with another party and still claim to be a Democrat without mourning the guilt of hypocrisy. That sort of Ten nessee Democrat is transient. temporary and occasional in his party loyalty Democrat when 1t Is not inconvenient to be one.
 In South Carolina there is, of course, no immediate danger of party schism similar to that which has taken place in Tennessee. as there is in our Legis- lature no Republican Party to combine with, but the incident sharply demon- strates that the whiskey traffic Ques- ton is one over which men may and do become so greatly heated that party obligations and ties are forgotten. In the Tennessee case 1t happens that the Prohibitionists are the bolters, but 1t does not follow that in some other State and at some other time the local optionists would not bolt.
 The Prohibitionists, however. have no right to assert that their program Is Democratic. It is historically and in principle opposed to the principles of American Democracy, and the man who denies 1t simply writes himself down as ignorant That, however, does not rob the prohibitian theory of virtue; virtue and Democracy are not wholly synony- nous terms. and the Prohibitionist who had the courage of his convictions will not desert his colors because they sig EIfy war with Democratic ideas.

 The strada Reggie campi. which ran along the heights behind the town was considered a fine promenade, and 1t gave one ofJthe finest views of the environs and of the Sicilian coast to be obtained anywhere.
 Reggie was distant from Messina about six and a quarter miles. Prob ably its most beautiful feature to the tourist lay back of the town. where the forest called Aspromonte rose in Imposing fashion. It was. there in the vicinity of heggio that Garibaldi was wounded and taken prisoner by the Italian troops under Pallavicini on Au- gust 2s, 1862. The ascent of this for est slope took about nine hours and when the summit was gained, especial ly in moonlight. a commanding view of the sea. the islands and Sicily of unparalleled beauty was obtained.
