Board Of Capitol Managers.

Conflict between the two houses may

the abolition of the board of capitol

being completed the duties of the
board have expired. But a Senate

RECORD OF THE Seventeenth
COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
s.reI. Held. &c, en ri. ve...


A tie vote in the Senate on Friday,
the 5th inst. retained Senator CAST
miro Barela in the seat which he has
held for over thirty years. That vote
was made possible through three
Democrats Campbell, Cove and
o O'Connell-voting with the Republi-
cans to dismiss the contest. The re-
suit awakens much political specula-
tion. In discussing It the Denver Re-
publican says:
Immediately on the votes on the
different reports had been announced
all resulting in q tie, the parliamentar-
ians got busy.
Animated. even violent. discussion
followed Immediately on adjournment
1t was contended on one side that the
tie vote left Barela definitely in his
seat. Then 1t was argued that a recon
sideration of the vote. IL one was to
be taken. must be had according to
rule within three days. But Senator
Barela and his colleagues in preparing
the coup OF a tie vote went over all
these questions and determined that
eighteen votes against Barela given at
any time would unseat him. Rules or
no rules the majority wins. 1t is its
own rule.
What will be done with the Bareia
case? 1t Is said that the Democrats
will fail or refuse to act until toward
the close of the session. when the two
factions will be forced together by out
side pressure and required to unseat
Barela at the last moment. This would
give the Democrats sixteen hold-over

The Unpopular Woman.

Inc Unpopular "O"uns
Who is she? Why is she unpopular
IL she to blame, or is she the object
Of a diabolical conspiracy to shut her
out from the enjoyment of circle Of
friends?
Did you ever notice how quickly,
easily and amusingly she tears a new
acquaintance to tatters, or with what
gusto she rolls under her tongue a
choice morsel Of unpleasant gossip
about an acquaintance of longer stand
ing? Did you mark her intuitive ap-
probation of small faults and little
vanities, and her unmistakable delight
in magnifying them or holding them
up to ridicule?
Then you know she has not one
friend, because those who might be
friends are afraid. They see she is
sharp and cruel. They have heard her
keen satire, her sarcastic jibes.
This type Of woman always gives
you the uncomfortable feeling that the
moment you leave her she is going to
make merry at your expense. For
that reason you never quite gave her
your confidence. The longer she per-
sists in her bad habit the less likely
she is to ever reform, and unless she
reforms she cannot expect to win
friends.

speak i'll Of the dead. Common sense
