In relation to the election fraud res
olution Of Senator Scott several Re-

language, declaring that those who
live in glass houses should not throw
stones" Senator Wood of Las Ami
mas, stating first that he is a large
shareholder in the Colorado Fuel 4
Iron Company, said that the people of
that district, and the industrial cor
porations interested there, were tired
of being prosecuted. Governor Shat
roth's remarks in his inaugural adj
dress in relation to the Huerfano and
Las Animas county elections during
several years past he called the most
contemplate insult ever offered cor
poration by governor of Colorado"
You have either got to prove these
accusations, my Democratic col
leagues" he said, "or be branded as
blackmailers!" Senator Barela also
took exception to the charges in
strong language, and brought forth
much laughter When he saia: when
Governor Shafroth was a Republican
he used to say: L don't say that ev-
cry Democrat is horsethief. but l do
say that every horsethief is Demo-
crat.' OF all the Republicans in Huer-
tano county he continued, Il only
,now one who is not an eX-Democrat." !"

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
AT C0LORADO'S CAPITAL
Alleged Huerfano County Frauds.


In urging his resolution to appoint
a committee to investigate alleged
election frauds in Huerfano and Las
Animas counties Senator Scott pro-
duced a letter which, he said, was
from citizen of Huerfano. and a
man who has taken part in the coun-
ellis of the state, though refusing to
give his name.
The letter stated that election
frauds had prevailed in Huerfano and
Las Animas for eighteen years; that
while the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com
pany owns more than either the Rio
road companies, its annual assessment
was based on valuation OF 100000,
while the Rio Grande was assessed on
valuation Of 100000 and the Colo
RADIO G. Southern on valuation of
$4,000 The result, the latter
claimed, was that the revenue of the
coal mines was levied from the agri-
cultural and business interests. Hay
is the largest agricultural crop and
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company
is the largest consumer of the product.
1t was stated-yet no farmer can find
market, according to the letter, un-
less he pledges eternal fidelity to the
fuel company. And, further. the far
mer cannot get water for his irrigat-
ing purposes unless voting as told.
Mexicans, who cannot speak, read or
write the English language, 1t was
stated, were voted through an inter-
prefer. In Walsenburg, 1t was al
legged. the sheriff disposes of most Of
the criminal business by telling the
prisoner he can settle for SO much
money, and, like Caesar of old, who
ruled fate by his thumb, he may con-
denim or acquit PRISONER in the court
room by a nod of his head.

WINGED POLITICIANS.

The crows, rocks and pelicans, says
the Young Folks Catholic Weekly,
are born politicians. They united in
societies, and form governments
Crows of a certain species build cities,
have streets and police regulations,
discuss local issues with the noise and
garrulousness common to politicians,
and perhaps arrive at conclusions
equally as sage Like the Chinese,
they are enemies to foreigners and
hospitality. They raise armies and
battle in defense of their liberties.
Another authority says that they en-
force military and pedagogical sys-
TENS, maintain courts of justice and
penal institutions; have "vigilantes
who visit vengeance upon evil-minded
owls and other offenders, and play
games, such as tag, hide and seek,
blind mans buff and pull-away.
The grossbeaks afford striking ex-
ample of republicanism. Eight or
nine hundred families have been
known to build their aerial city in one
huge tree. Each has his individual
apartment; yet all seems like one vast
nest, and is covered with a roof, ris-
ing above the summit of the tree.
They have no senates, chiefs, nor dis
tinctions. Each one is free, answers
for himself, and behaves like gen.
tleman.
