PHONE MAIN 1905.

The election is over. The people of
Denver have decided against the wa
ter franchise and for the continuation
of the liquor traffic under present
conditions. The latter does no vio-
lence to established conditions. But
not so the former 1t was the strict
letter of the old franchise granted in
1880 that the city either extend the
franchise or buy the plant after an
appraisement. The city has refused
to do the one, and now it is the opin-
ion of The Statesman that the Fed
eral court will hold that it must do
the other, If it does, it will come to
pass that the Municipal Ownership
crowd have gotten us into a dilemma
that will rest fearfully hard upon the
poor citizens who are now struggling
to buy homes. There will be no more
elections to decide the water ques-
tion. 1t is now up to the lawyers, and
we all know, Providence defend the
poor, when lawyers get busy!
The Republican ticket went down
to defeat. The unhappy factional
fights in the party made it easy pick
ing for the enemy. Republican wards
rolling up Democratic and Citizen
majorities are not very consoling Our
parting comment upon the strenuous
campaigning is that the colored citi-
zens did nobly in support of the grand
old party and gave majority vote
for the reasonable settlement of the
ntS,.
now has his old enemy, Mayor Speer,
on the run, and Republicans can have
the consolation that we are not the
only house which is divide against
itself.

AN EMPLoYE OF THE COUNTY.

There has been another representa-
i've of the race put to work in the
county, in the person of r. o. John
son, who is now at the county Jail
acting as turnkey. This appointment
comes at the hands of Sheriff Alex
ander Nsbet, whom The Statesman
has from time to time commented
upon as an official in this city who
tries to represent all the people. We
take occasion to thank Mr.. Nisbet for
this appointment on behalf of the
colored people of Denver and hope to
show at some future time tnat it is
not in mere words we thank him.
AS for Mr.. Johnson, he is an old Re-
publican wheel-horse and undoubted-
ly will make good as a public SER

for a portrait Is supposed to strike n

who have never been painted realize
the grace there is in the poise of the

Remarkable Violin Test.

been made In Paris. During the per-
formance both critics and performers
were In complete darkness. so that 1t
was impossible to see which one Of the
seven vioiins selected for the test was
being played. Then Immediately after
being used the instrument was placed
under cloth. and the lights were
turned on for a few moments to en-
able the critics to write down the
votes. All the violins were played by
two musicians of high standing, and
the compositions were written esreci-
ally for the test The two violinists
tried to bring out the best in each
violin. and the result. decided by he

make of violin led the list with lC2

was Stradivarius with 96 votes.
