MANY UNEASY HEADS.

1t is understood there are a large number o,
gentlemen and some ladies too now holding down
fine situations and jobs at the house who
worried over what will happen to them when the
Republicans get in and things begin running un-
der full sail. They fear surgical operation with
the knife in severing the fond ties that bind to a
nice fat pay check, with short hours and long pay
OF course they all going to hide behind the
dear civil service. but if the conversation had the
other day with prominent dealer OF the Republi-
can organization is any criterion, that will afford
about as much protection as ball placed
upon red hot stove. To my mind, with the Re-
publicans civil service will cut very little CONCEAL
ed atmosphere and it will be easy to pass new
law the subject, amend the old one to lit the oc-
casion or openly ignore it altogether. Then, with
the governors proposed law for creating an indus
trial commission, whatever it may be called
comes the golden and glorious opportunity to make
the big killing by abolishDg about all the old jobs
wanted and the attendant civil service protection
The new law will be SO framed that it will pro-
vide for nice, office qualifications and exami-
nations that be made to tit the situation and
the office seeker. | don't know as | blame the
Republicans Quite number of the employees at
the state house fine people, willing and accom-
modating but lot OF them have come to believe
they are the whole cheese, including the edge. Fol-
the good and faithful will feel sorry II they lose
out but nothing doing for the other kind never
have been strong for civil service as / believe to
the political victor should belong the spoils and a
belief that is entrenched strongly in job has
a tendency to bring disregard for the wishes and
desires of the public, who pay the freight and all
the traffic will bear. One of the weaknesses OF
the Demoratsie party in Colorado has been the fail
ure to fire out many OF the office holders OF the
former Republican administration, and the non-ap-
pointment of the workers And some that have
been retained and some that have been placed are
awful at that. The Republicans have never been
afraid to place those who do their work, and when
the people vote for that party they expect it. at
least in Colorado. So, look for them to go their
full limit and if they don't they, too, will get it i'll
the neck in due time.

pLUrocRAcY OF RURAL PRESS

Continuing our researches into the
survival of newspaper traditions in the
American rural press, we would present
the following exhibit from the Citizen
of Searcy, Ark:
"Mr. Edison says we are all too rich'
Yes, doggone our plutocratic times; JUST
yesterday in looking around for safe in
vestments we put cents in ham
sandwich and Is cents in negotiation
whereby the spinach covering on our
face was removed, thus complying with
the city injunction that all brush ana
rubbish be kept cleaned off our prem
ises. Tomorrow an important deal with
the laundryman will be closed up when
we quietly transfer to him all on,
possession in q thin dime for our only
shirt which he has been soaking in
scalding water. for three days, thereby
showing our co-operation with the
board OF health. It's great to be rich,
and we hope the time will never come
when we get too parsimonious to keep
our millions in circulation"

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

From what gather there was very
fair Christmas spirit displayed throughout Den
yer, and the stores report business as being good
in most instances better than last year 1t is in
deed pleasing to note these evidences OF prosper
ity and liberalty especially when affairs in
the shape they are in many parts of the country
and world generally. Several Denver corpora
tions are reported as remembering their employees
in substantial way.
The Denver Gas and Electric company pre-
sented all their employees who had families with
turkeys and those who not married. with
a substantial cash token Coming at this time, it
is safe guess that the Gas company forged an
other link in the chain that causes their employees
be loyal to their interests at all time and un-
der all circumstances
The Mt. States Phone company acted as Santa
to those of their employees who did not have homes
and made big hit. The company usually be
counted upon to look for those who work
for it.
The Water company presented turkeys to all
who their payroll.
The Tramway company had Christmas trees
and entertainments for the and their fami-
lilies on the several divisions and made gifts OF
various kinds.

GOING AFTER HUERFANo.

The Democrats OF the state, represented by the
state central committee and others interested have
decided to go after the gang of politicians in Huer
fano county that have been running things with a
high hand for years, and are soliciting funds for
the purpose OF instituting contests against Sheriff
farr, the county clerk, assessor and one county
commissioner, who were returned as elected all by
small majoritics. 1t is said the appeal for the
wherewitha to do business is meeting with very
hearty response. Phil Hornbein. John l. Mui-
Inns, Frank Medina. Alva b. Adams and T. NJ.
Lyons have the matter in charge and the bows saw
they have got the goods this time. 1t was shown
in the testimony before the Industrial commission
that the latest wrinkle in politics. the barbcd wire
enclosed precincts, did the business, and that with
these precincts thrown out the Democratic cand-
dates would all have had safe majorities II is
understood the question will be aired in the SEN
ate OF the United States as we'll as the House of
Representatives, and finally find its way to the
state supreme court. Organized labor is inter
ested in the fight the candidate for sheriff.
Neelley, and Young for commissioner were mem.
bers, and with these two offices in the hands OF
the men who were really elected, organizers could
remain in the kingdom of Huerfano without the
constant prospect of getting in jail run out or be-
ing beaten up. There is sure going to be show
ing up OF conditions in that section through the
proposed contests.
