Washington work at Length on the Subject at Central Prebysterian Church to a Large Audience. Industrial Education the Foundation for the Negro's Future. Baker T. Washington addressed a large and intelligent audience of white-colored citizens last night, at Central Presbyterian Church, his subject "Solving the Negro Problem." In a brief outline of Mr. Washington's work, Governor Thomas introduced m. who in part said: There is no one question which has been during the last thirty-five years that has been so consistently related to the Negro civilization of these years many suggestions to the solution of the Negro problem have been put forth, but one by one they have fallen to the ground. Let speak of some of these suggestions. 600 Negroes had taken ship and departed to Liberia. The news that the Negro problem had been solved was telephoned all over the world the next month. But the people who read the patch forgot that probably on this same morning there were 600 Negroes born in the black belt of the north. I have a friend who believes that some of the vast areas of vacant in the West should be set apart for the Negro. I suggested to him that there were some objections to the necessity. In the first place it would be necessary to build a high wall about the Negro in the main, they would have to build an inner wall—and I believe a much high-wall—in order to keep the white man. For wherever the Negro goes you will find the white man follow him, ready to supply him with what he wishes to buy. Another friend suggested that the race was being abolished by the other races so fast that the problem would soon be solved. Then I suggest that there is a little plenty in the way. For as long as a man has one part Negro blood in his he is a Negro. That one part of Negro blood entirely offsets the ninety-nine parts of pure Anglo-Saxon blood. That reason I contend that we are stronger race than the white people, where it takes 100 parts of white blood to be a white man we can get on two or three parts of Negro blood and still be Negroes. There is any one way in which to solve the problem, and that is God's way. Treat Negro as a man, both in the North in the South. Negro race is the only race which was ever brought here against will. The original Americans obeyed streumessly to the white men first landed here in 1492. But the men was sent for. Therefore, as long they took so much trouble to get us I think that the least we can do is stay here." Mr. Washington then told of his re-ference of slavery days, how he lived in the miles until he at last found enough to go to Hampton inland and how he conceived the idea of South and establishing a simul-tion among the ignorant people race. In that part of the country the race problem exists in all its seriousness," he continued. "Those of you who understand the evils wrought by slavery will agree with me when I say that slavery wrought as much evil on the white man as it did on the black man. It is exemplified now. When a Negro has his ballot stolen from him—as is often the case—it works but a temporary injustice to the Negro, but to the white man who steals the ballot, it means death to the soul. I do not appeal for any particular class of Negroes nor for any particular institution like the school in Tuskegee. I appeal to you to lift up the whole race—white and black. "In everything attempted at Tuskegee we have tried to study the actual conditions with which our people are surrounded at the present time and aid them by teaching them to help themselves. It must be remembered that these people were never obliged to labor in their native land. They were brought over here and compelled to work as slaves for 250 years. The temptation in such movements is to run every individual through the same educational mill without regard to previous conditions or the individual results to be accomplished. We must get to the bedrock in order to lift people up in the South. Many yeaers ago I believed that industrial education would great things to help us. I do not wish to underestimate the value of mental development, but I believe that it is most important that we should lay a foundation of industrial education. The industrial system gives men a feeling of self-reliance which they cannot get in any other way. "Every race must work out its own salvation. We must work ours out with the saw, the hammer and the shovel. And we must go after it. It's like the old Negro who prayed for three nights for the Lord to send him a turkey for Thanksgiving. It didn't come. On the fourth night he prayed, 'Lord, send this nigger to a turkey.' And he got it that very night. For 250 years God made the Negro come in contact with the white man in business. Every large slave plantation was in a sense an industrial school. The Negro boys were taught farming and the simpler mechanical trades until they were able to do all the work about the plantation. We had more boys taught trades on the plantation than you have black boys who are being taught trades in Denver to-day. These men finally commenced to thin out by death. Then we came to realize that we had no black boys who were educated in trades. The white man saw the opportunity and came to the South. His hands were skilled in various crafts and he took the work from us. Therefore, in order to hold our own, we must learn to work with our hands as well as our heads. Years ago Negroes used to be in almost all the barber shops in the large cities. Now there are few of the men. The white men saw the opportunity. He used his intelligence and made the shop an attractive place. The Negro went along in the same old rut, and now has been almost crowded out. My friends, you must put your brains and your skill into these industries. It doesn't pay to let them go. We propose to keep them and to dignify them. "Some people get the idea that the object of industrial education is to teach people to work in the old way. That is not my idea. I believe in teaching them to work in the new way. To make labor enjoyable and toil a pleasure. My object in industrial education is to give a Negro brains and skill so that he can compete with a white man in his work. A great deal of prejudice against the Negro exists in this country, but it stops when it comes to DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1900. GIBERT buying. Men buy where they can get the things they want that are best and cheapest. You've got to put brains and skill in these industries. I say to you, that the only way to solve the Negro problem is to make the Negro useful. "You seldom see a black man begging, and I am not begging now. We do ask you to give these people teachers so they can learn to help themselves. The greatest injury slavery wrought us was when it deprived us of the exercise of self-reliance and executive ability. For 250 years every thing was furnished us by our masters. You can't expect us to learn to provide everything for ourselves in thirty-five years. "Now, we can especially to black man men white man. And gradually gether. There though wrong rage is done there is little is skilled in a sized by the much as by b commerce are peace among must make the pendent on the mix. There is business or p "I believe in Christianity, but I have always found that you can't make a good Christian out of a hungry man. An old Negro song in Louisiana goes: 'Give me Jesus and you take all the rest.' This is one instance where the white man takes the Negro at his word. He takes all the rest. Gradually we are teaching our people to mix industry and thrift with their religion—and when you teach these people this, you are doing mighty well. "I am often asked 'What are you going to fix the relations between the white man and the Negro in the South?' This is a subject to which everyone should give his most careful thought and attention. It is not yet solved. I have brought myself to sympathize with the white man as well as with the Negro. I have even gone farther than some of you and taught myself to sympathize with the southern white man. No race is without its faults, and we have ours. But we must build ourselves up. I do not propose to be hated simply because I belong to any race. Show me a white man who hates a Negro because of the color of his skin and I'll show you a man to be pitied. We must be higher, broader and more generous than he is. We grow strong by loving, we grow weak by hating. "Now, we come to the hardest point especially to you of the North. The black man must make friends with the white man. They must come together and gradually they are coming to gether. There is this in our favor: All though wrong and injustice and outrage is done the Negro in the South there is little prejudice. If a Negro is skilled in any industry he is patronized by the white people almost as much as by his own race. Trade and commerce are great things to bring peace among nations and races. We must make the white man partly dependent on the Negro. Then they will mix. There is no position in letters, business or politics I withhold from my people, but they must begin at the bottom and lay the foundation sure. "If anywhere on earth there is a people which follows the Scriptural injunction, and when smitten on one cheek turns the other, it is the Negro race. The American Negro has always been patient and put his faith in ultimate righteousness. He went into slavery and shackles and came out with the ballot in his hands. I ask you if this race, which has made such wonderful progress in the last, few centuries is not worth assisting? If it is not, why then I assure you that there is nothing in our country worth your help." It Can't be Beaten. Try the Union Pacific Route to Chicago via Kansas City.

NO.17 It should be remembered that the Negro race is a race of consumers and as much as this is true, it is essential that we be a race of producers. When it reaches this point that the colored man is able to manufacture as well as consume, he will have the respect of all. Our industrial schools are doing a great deal in bringing up our people to the realization of this idea. ↑ ↑ ↑ Only 107 persons were lynched in America last year, which is 20 less than the year before, and the smallest number in any one year since 1884. Of the 107 lynchings, 103 took place in the South, and 4 in the North; of these 84 were colored. Over 60 percent of these lynchings were in four Southern states as follows: Georgia 28; Mississippi 14; Louisiana 13; Arkansas 11. + + + One trouble with us as a race is that we are not enough interested in our own progress, not enough interested in our standing among other races.

Williams, the emigrant agent, who, during the past six weeks, has sent 2,500 Negroes out of the State, has been in jail here for twentyfour hours to save him from a mob of farmers who threatened his life at Greensboro Saturday. Williams who is known as "Peg Leg" Williams, had engaged the Negroes to leave Greensboro for the West, and was arranging for their departure. The Negroes have been leaving the farmers in large numbers of late, and many farmers are entirely without help. Their exodus will materially reduce the cotton acreage for the present year, perhaps from 20 to 25 per cent. SALIDA SIFTINGS Mrs. Allen is on the sick list. We learn Mrs. Kent has returned to Denver.

He Was Captured Near Florence and When Being Returned to the Penitentiary Was Taken From the Officers by a Canon City Mob. Denver, Jan. 27.—A special to the Republican from Canon City last night says: Thomas Reynolds, one of the escaped convicts, was captured at Florence early this evening and the intelligence reached here almost immediately by telegraph and telephone. In an incredibly short space of time several hundred assembled and matured plans to prevent Reynolds from reaching the prison alive. Half an hour after the capture of Reynolds was made known here every road leading to the city was guarded by armed and determined men, the bridges over the river being in charge of large posses. Acting under the advice of Warden Hoyt the officers in charge of Reynolds took a round-about course from Florence and approached the city from the south, crossing the river by the First street bridge, the intention being to make a flying dash to the penitentiary through the south gate. When the center of the bridge was reached dark forms rushed from the shadows at either end, closing in on the guard so noiselessly and suddenly that resistance was impossible. Securely bound, Reynolds was dragged to the ground and a rope quickly adjusted around his neck. His feet were then released and he was led to the nearest telephone pole. The other end was thrown over the cross arm. Catching it quickly, fully 100 men ran away with it and Reynolds' form shot into the air. It was immediately lowered and an opportunity given the doomed man to make a statement. He refused, asking for a cigarette, instead. Without granting the request, the rope tightened again, and the remains were left suspended between heaven and earth. The nerve of the man was remarkable. He showed the white feather only once, and that was while he was being bound at Florence. He then requested the guard to put a bullet through him before turning him over to the citizens of this place. HOW REYNOLDS WAS TAKEN. A Shrewd Florence Woman Helps the Officers. Denver, Jan. 27.—A dispatch from Florence, received last night by the News, says: About 7:45 this evening Reynolds and C. E. Wagoner called at a house in this city and see no men about the place they entered and ordered the woman to get them something to eat. One of them remarked that he was going to take a hat and coat that was hanging on the wall. The lady sent her little son down town to notify the officers while the two men were washing. She consumed as much time as possible in preparing their meal, and just after they had taken their departure Night Marshal arrived and gave chase in the direction that had gone. He overtook Reynolds near the Florence & Cripple Creek depot and told him if he moved he would give him all there was in his six-shooter. Up went a pair of hands. Wagoner must have went in the other direction, as he could not be found. Warden Hoyt was notified at Canon City by telephone, and immediately arranged with Superintendent Burns of the Denver & Rio Grande at Pueblo for a special train consisting of an engine and a caboose to take himself and party with a bloodhound to Florence where they arrived at 10 o'clock. The dog followed the trail southward and eastward over the town as known the message sent down to the track to where the dog was standing until 8:45 p.m. A tramp was arrested by the police at Pueblo on the arrival of the freight train. According to his story another tramp got on the train at Florence and got off at Swallows. A SET-BACK FOR BRITISH. General Buller Reports That Spion Kop Is Given Up. London, Jan. 26—England was startled this morning to learn that Warren had abandoned Spion Kop, the position occupied Tuesday night. The news came in a dispatch from Buller to the secretary of war and was posted at the war office at 12:04 this morning. Buller's dispatch is dated Spearman's Camp, January 25, 12:05, m. It reads as follows: "The Warren garrison, I am sorry to say, I find this morning, had in the night abandoned Spion Kop." The war office has made public the following dispatch from Buller reporting the casualties Wednesday, while the British were attempting to hold Spion Kop. Total number killed thus far reported, is twenty-four men and officers, wounded 154, and missing thirty-one. In detail, the losses are: Kings Royal Rifles, three officers killed and wounded, ten men killed, forty-five wounded and eleven missing; Second Samerian infantry, sixteen men killed, sixteen eight men killed, seventy-seven wounded and twenty missing; Indian staff, one officer wounded; Methuen's Horse, one officer wounded. Six Americans Slain in Mexico. El Paso, Jan. 27. The mail to night from Guayamas, Sonora, Mexico, brings news that a report is current there that six Americans—David Cusick, John Eldridge, George Lunt, Charles Burns, Lon Webster and Henry Williams, were shot during the last week near the foot of Bacatete mountains, east of Guayamas, by order of General Torres, who is in command of the Mexican troops now operating against the Yaqui Indians in the Bacatete range. It is further reported that the matter was brought to the attention of the American consul at Guayamas, but the latter declined to act. It is said that Mexican troops found the Americans in friendly intercourse with the Yaquas, whom the troops have surrounded in the range. Some of the Americans are known here and are prospectors. The American consul at Guayamas has warned all Americans to keep away from the Yaqui country. COLORADO NOTES. A very bad wreck on the Rio Grande near Gunnison, was caused by a burro. Leadville people are alarmed over the malicious explosion of giant powder in the city. A boy was killed on the railroad near Byers the other night. It is supposed that he was stealing a ride and fell off. The El Paso county poorhouse, located in a valley about three and one-half miles southwest of Colorado Springs, was burned to the ground on the 20th. The loss is total and amounts to between $8,000 and $10,000, partially insured. The inmates were rescued in safety. Treasurer Bennett of Weld county was discharged from custody by United States Commissioner Hinsdale. Mr. Bennett had been arrested on complaint of Rev. J. R. Rader of New Windsor on the charge of sending a dun by postal card. In sending out his notification of personal taxes due the treasurer added "we must have this tax now." The words were taken by the minister and by the United States attorney as conveying a threat. Commissioner Hinsdale took another view, and dismissed the proceedings. The people of Boulder sent a lot of provisions to the people of Ward, who lost their property in the recent fire. Several dwelling houses have been converted into temporary store buildings, and nearly all of the burned-out merchants have ordered new stocks of goods. The city council held a special meeting Saturday evening to take steps towards clearing up the debris, and also to open up new town books and begin business with a clean slate, as all of the old records were totally destroyed. Everyone feels that the fire will be to Ward what the Cripple Creek fire to that great camp, and that here is a good place to begin the mining. We were never looking better than now. Everyone is feeling cheerful and firmly believes Ward will soon recover and be a better mining camp than ever. The town officials will take action to straighten some of the bends, widen the streets and encourage the building of a handsome town. Public feeling at Canon City against the murderers of Night Captain Rooney, who escaped from the penitentiary on Monday night appears to be growing as time goes by without bringing news of their capture. Warden Hoyt was greatly encouraged Wednesday afternoon to learn that since taking the trail on Tuesday morning the bloodhounds had followed it continuously and that the four convicts had been traced to the neighborhood of Victor. There one of them called at a house and asked for food, while his companions stood a little distance apart. The woman of the house picked out a photograph of Wagner as that of the man with whom she had met in the street, but she was positive in her identification. Hoyt said he was sure of the ultimate capture of the convicts. Governor Thomas has offered an additional reward for the apprehension of the murderers. The reward is $500 for the four or $125 for any one of them. The governor said that despite the talk concerning the revival of capital punishment he was not in favor of it. The Colorado Sugar Manufacturing Company, of which John F. Campign is president, and several Denver and Colorado Springs capitalists are stockholders, has announced its plans for the coming season at: Grand Junction. The company is arranging to bring a large number of new farmers into the Grand valley this year, and will cultivate all of the 1,500 acres of farm lands that it owns. To this end a force of men and teams has already been put to work plowing and preparing the ground for seeding. The company's agents are at work in the East, securing the colonists. The offer made is that the company will furnish them with land, water and seed free of all charges, and pay $4.25 a ton for all beets up to the fifteen per cent. standard. For each one per cent, of sugar in excess of fifteen and one-half per cent, 25 cents a ton will be paid. All efforts will be directed to an early start this year, and the intention is to extract the sugar from as many beets as possible, starting as soon as the roots are ripe, and storing them as long as possible until they are treated. The business of cattle feeding will also be a factor. The leaves of the beets, together with the pulp left after the sugar is extracted, make good feed for cattle, and the addition of only a little grain is necessary to put the cattle from the adjoining ranges in the best condition for beef. Several of the farmers of the valley will build enslage silos for the storage of the fodder, and the company will put up feeding sheds for the disposition of part of its waste product. Warden Hoyt is preparing to farm this year on an extensive scale. To date he has taken leases on land aggregating 500 acres and is preparing to till a large acreage. He has secured a four-year lease on one 200-acre tract, which will in part be seeded to alfalfa, at the same time growing a crop of oats. The rest of the tract and all the smaller holdings will be devoted to growing corn and vegetables. No lease has been entered into for a shorter term than two years, the warden's policy being to secure the land for as long a period as possible. The large tract is virgin soil and a force of fifty convicts is engaged in freeing it from greasewood and preparing it for the plow, which will be started as soon as the land is in shape. Of the 540 convicts in the penitentiary to-day, 490 were employed at some sort of labor. Five were on the sick list, six were crippled, four are demented and five are females. Seventy-five are employed in widening the Canon City ditch, which will be enlarged and improved its entire length. Sixty-four were working in the sandstone quarries, twenty-eight at the lime kilns, thirty-two at stone cutting, thirty-three in the tailor, harness and shoe shops, thirty-four in the kitchens, twenty-nine at the stables, twenty-nine about the cell houses, twenty-nine in the soap making and washing departments, twenty-one on the ranches, twenty on the penitentiary grounds, seventeen in the blacksmith shop, twenty in the boiler and dynamo rooms, thirteen in the bakery, five at the south and west gates, five in the dispensary, five in the store room, eight as teamsters, twenty-seven at extra jobs, seven in the carpenter shop and the others in the offices and officers' quarters.

John Ruskin, the well-known English author, died in London on the 20th of influenza. He was eighty-one years old. Andrew Carnegie has just given $50,000 each to York, Pennsylvania, and East Orange, New Jersey, for public libraries. There is danger of a strike on the Wabash road. The trainmen ask for an increase and the officials ignore their appeal. A special grand jury has returned an eight-count indictment against Ellis Glenn, the woman who masqueraded as a man, for forgery. The government has issued instructions to the Mexican authorities of all the ports of Mexico not to permit the entrance of any vessel from Brazilian and Asiatic ports owing to the danger of the bubonic plague. The Supreme Court of Iowa has handed down an opinion sustaining the constitutionality of the collateral inheritance law, passed three years ago. It imposes a tax of five per cent, on all inheritances which go to collateral heirs. According to dispatches from the scene of the horror in Malowzensk, Samara government, where the dome of the village church collapsed during the celebration of mass, thirty lives were lost in the disaster and sixty persons were injured. The worst part of the influenza epidemic in London appears to be passed. The number of deaths fell last week, according to official records, to 208, as against 316 for the week before. Nottingham still maintains its death rate of thirty-two per thousand. A conference of Irish members of Parliament from all sections will be held at Westminster on January 30th to arrange for a reunion of the Irish parliamentary forces. John Redmond and his friends will attend this Irish party meeting for the first time since the Parnell split. Hundreds of small cotton mills are being erected all over Georgia, and every city, town and village is now trying to raise money for such a purpose. An enormous amount of capital from New England and other parts of the North is being invested in the same kind of enterprise. Francis E. Clark, president of the World's Christian Endeavor Society, has sailed from San Francisco for the China to a steamer China, and will visit Japan, China, Siberia and all the countries of Europe, eventually arriving in London to preside over the Endeavorors' convention to be held there next July. As a test of the first automatic ore unloader came up to all expectations, orders have just been placed for two more of these giant machines to be built for the Carnegie docks at Conneaut, near Cleveland. This action is said to assure their adoption all along the lakes, thus displacing thousands of shovelers. The damage wrought by fire at the winter quarters of the Barrum & Bailey circus at Bridgeport, Connecticut, was fully $125,000. The fire is believed to have burned from a lamp in the car window. It now thought that the departure of the Buffalo Bill show on its spring tour will be delayed by reason of lack of cars. The United States Court of Appeals has affirmed the decision of Judge Lacombe, dismissing the habeas corpus proceedings in the case of Oberlin M Carter, convicted by court-martial of frauds in connection with the government improvements. Carter is a prisoner on Governor's岛. He has been sentenced to six years at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The lawyers of Sioux City, Iowa, have decided upon a public law library for the use of the apostles of Blackstone in that vicinity. It is to be a stock concession, all shape additions to be given over; they are to pay in cash or book laws $50 per share. In addition they will pay dues each month, the surplus thus obtained to be used in procuring new volumes and keeping up the library. The released Spanish prisoners who have arrived in Barcelona from the Philippines say that the ultimate victory of the Americans in Luzon is assured. The Filipinos, they declare, are at the end of their resources, the fighting men are insufficiently nourished and the natives are hopelessly divided by factional differences. The repatriated prisoners, who number about 1,000, are woefully anaemic. Twenty thousand coal miners of Bohemia have gone on strike, and the difficulty seems to be only at its beginning. The demand of the workmen is for higher wages and an eight-hour workday, owners of legal arbitration and the strike is likely to extend. The effects of the strike are felt already throughout Bohemia. The scarcity of coal amounts almost to famine and many factories are idle for want of fuel. General Lorenzo Torres engaged the Yaquis at Macoyata last week, killing more than 200 and taking 500 prisoners. Father Beltran and several sisters of charity, who have been held as prisoners of war by the Yaquis for the last six months, having been captured when hostilities first commenced last summer, were rescued by the victorious Mexican troops and are now with this last torres. Torres is expected that this last torres will be killed. Torres will have the effect of scattering the Yaquis and will break up the war. The body of William Calloway, the fire boss of Kaska William mine, near Pottsville, Pennsylvania, has been found by the men who have been in search of him since December 18 last. Calloway went into the mine to examine the workings as to the presence of gas before the miners went to work, and was entombed by a fall of rock. The Dodson Coal Company immediately upon discovery that Calloway was missing set men to work to find him. When his body was found it was plain that he had lived a long time in his prison. He kept a diary on a sheet iron door casting with chalk and subsisted on the oil in his lamp until it was exhausted. BROOKLYN Do you have losses? Frequent desire to urinate?

Strong Resolutions Against the Paper Trust Adopted-Fort Collins Man Elected President. Denver, Jan. 24.—The annual session of the State Editorial Association was held here yesterday. The discussion of an active campaign in matters vitally affecting newspaper interests began almost as soon as the meeting was called to order by Howard Russell of Fort Collins, vice president of the association. It was decided that the editors of the state should unite in pressing upon the attention of the coming Legislature the needs of the press, in the passage of bills, and the repeal of laws which bear unfavorably upon the profession. A legislative committee, consisting of Howard Russell, president; K. G. Cooper, F. N. Briggs, J. M. Lawless and J. S. Temple, was appointed and instructed to meet some time in May and consider all complaints and suggestions from members of the association submitted in writing in the next ninety days. An invitation from the mayor of Ouray to hold the summer meeting there was accepted. A resolution was adopted condemning the personal assault upon the publishers of the Denver Evening Post, and tendering them "sincere sympathy in their present unfortunate condition." I. N. Bunting of Grand Junction, Lewis Gaylord of Colorado Springs and T. M. Patterson of Denver were appointed a committee to wait upon the railway classification committees and endeavor to secure the retransfer of newspaper printing paper from class three as freight to class four. Wrapping paper is still carried fourth class, while white paper, in exactly the same kind of parcels, is put in a higher class and has to pay about thirty per cent. more freight. F. J. Arkins, K. G. Cooper and T. M. Patterson were chosen a committee to draft an address to the publishers of the United States to be sent over the country through the Associated Press, urging that all publishers join with the National Editorial Association, and send representatives to that meeting if possible, to further the campaign against the paper trust. Howard Russell was elected president of the association by acclamation, and the vote was unanimous for I. N. Bunting of Grand Junction, first vice president; F. N. Briggs of Victor, second vice president; Halsey M. Rhodes of Denver, secretary, and H. J. Holmes of Glenwood, treasurer. The following were elected delegates to the coming convention of the National Editorial Association, which will meet in New Orleans, March 1st: Wolfe Londoner, F. J. Arkins, Lewis Gaylord, W. C. Calhoun and T. M. Patterson. Alternates, J. B. King, Lute Wilcox, J. S. Temple and Halsey M. Rhodes. The delegation was instructed to vote for K. G. Cooper as national committee from Colorado. The most important business of the convention was undoubtedly the adoption of the resolution against the paper trust. This was introduced by K. G. Cooper, and was as follows: "Disregarding all controversy over the mooted questions of tariff and free trade, we nevertheless unite in denouncing every form of combination that has for its object an increase in the cost of necessities through the curtailment of production and the destruction of competition. "The newspaper has become a prime necessity of modern life. The best result of this effort is to improve environment, advance civilization and secure faithful public officials will be obtained through the newspapers of the country, produced as cheaply as possible consistent with fair wages and reasonable hours of labor. "In the paper trust but lately formed, we, the Colorado State Editorial Association, recognize only an enemy to the newspaper publishers and readers, and therefore to society and good government. By combining to destroy competition in the manufacture of paper and thereby unduly to raise the price to the publisher, it has forfeited all claim to the consideration and bounty of the government, and it is the plain duty of Congress to repeal all laws that tend to enable the trust to carry out its nefarious system of plunder. "To the end that the newspapers of the United States may free themselves in part at least, from the exactions of the paper trust we demand that the Congress of the United States shall immediately repeal all duties on paper, upon wood pulp for the manufacture of paper, and upon every other article that enters materially into the manufacture of paper, and we will consider as our enemies every senator and congressman who shall fail to do his utmost to repeal such laws at the present session of Congress. "Resolved. That we will oppose the re-election of every senator and member of Congress who does not actively mediate repeat of all such duties." The most vigorous debate of the session was over this resolution. Some protectionist editors in the gathering were unwilling to admit without further investigation that the reason for the increase in price was other than the general rise of prices due to prosperity. It was denied that the tariff on paper was sufficient to give the trust any decided advantage. One delegate pointed out that only since the rise in price had the managers of Denver paper mills begun to see their way clear to profit. The proposition to ask the roads to reduce the freight rates on paper nearly precipitated a debate on railway discrimination, delegates pointing out that the difference in classification was in favor of the Colorado product, and that it behooved the editors to uphold the Colorado industry. Objections were also made to the menacing tone of the resolution, some of the delegates believing that it was of little avail to threaten members of Congress, while others objected to being bound to oppose men for reelection whom their parties might nominate. A motion to strike out the last clause of the resolutions was lost by a decisive vote, and the resolutions carried by a large majority. The delegates to the national association were instructed to report the action taken to that body and to ask its indorsement. Sixty members of the State Editorial Association were present at the twenty-first annual dinner of that organization in the St. James hotel last evening. BRYAN IS TOURING THE EAST. Surprised by a Warm Welcome at Jersey City. New York, Jan. 24—Colonel W. J. Bryan made a journey into Connecticut to-day, addressing meetings at Stamford and New Haven, and then hurried back to New York that he might keep his engagement to address a public meeting in Jersey City to-night. Tomorrow he will go to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where he will meet the Democratic leaders of Pennsylvania. Colonel Bryan was banqueted by the Robert Davis Association at their club house in Jersey City to-night, after which he delivered a political speech before a large crowd in St. Mary's hall. Mr. Bryan received a most hearty reception from about 3,500 persons, all that could possibly get into the hall, to whom he spoke for nearly two and a half hours upon silver, trusts and imperialism. Mr. Bryan had the appearance of being greatly cheered and somewhat surprised by the warmth of the greeting which he encountered when he walked in on the stage. For fully a minute the hall resounded with cheers and seemed to be full of waving hats. When this had subsided it was followed by three cheers for Mr. Bryan himself, which were immediately drowned by three cheers for "our next president." Mr. Bryan indicated his surprise at the generosity of the reception, saying that it had been stated that the silver question had been buried. So quick was the response of the audience, a large portion of which arose and drowned the voice of Mr. Bryan with its cheers, that the speaker hesitated momentarily even after quiet came. Before he could proceed one of the committeemen arose from his chair and shouted, "We are with you, Colonel." RELIGIOUS DAILY IS POPULAR. Many Big Orders Follow Announcement of Rev. C. M. Sheldon's Venture. Topeka, Kans., Jan. 25.—An arrangement was made to-day for a conference at Chicago between Rev. C. M. Sheldon, Dr. F. W. Gunsanulus of Chicago and Dr. N. D. Hillis of Brooklyn to discuss plans for the "Sheldon Edition" of the Topeka Capital. The immediate and extraordinary response of the public to the announcement in the Associated Press Monday morning of the "Sheldon Edition" of the Capital is indicated by the fact that Mr. Sheldon and the Daily Capital have been deluged with telegrams and letters from all parts of the country asking for information regarding the proposed plans for a Christian daily newspaper. Among the dispatches received to-day was one from New York containing an order for 10,000 copies of each issue during the week. Another order by telegraph asked for 5,000 lines of advertising space. The first subscription order, which came within twelve hours of the announcement of the plan in the Associated Press, was from Nebraska for 100 copies of each issue. Requests have come to the Capital from over 100 newspapers in Kansas for cuts of Mr. Sheldon to be used in their columns. Mr. Sheldon said to-day that while he would receive no compensation for his services it had been stipulated in the contract standing with the Capital Publishing Company that should the receipts exceed the expenses of his edition a large part of the proceeds would be devoted to missionary and philanthropic work. Trouble of Coal Men. Philadelphia, Jan. 25.—A special from Scranton says: Officials of three of the big anthracite coal companies have announced that under no circumstances will they treat with the United Mine Workers of America. Their lead in the matter indicates that a similar position will be taken by other corporations, the coal carrying roads and the individual operators. Of these companies, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and the Delaware & Hudson are paramount. Their mines employ no less than 20,000 men and boys. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 25.—The second day of the joint conference between the United Mine Workers and the coal operators of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania does not promise much. The gap between the miners and operators from Illinois seems to widen. A fight will be made to keep the Iowa operators out of the interstate compact. Michigan is also asking to come in. This state will have a better show than Iowa. Commissions Cut Off. Chicago, Jan. 25.—In the face of assertions that the policies of the railroads of the country are not dictated by two or three syndicates working in harmony, fresh and incontrovertible evidence of the existence and strength of the combination appears every day. Two joint notices, representing eighty-seven railroad systems, were sent out from Chicago to 13,000 coupon ticket agents in the United States, Canada and Mexico, advising that February 1st these companies would cease paying any commissions, side cuts or other fees. Assurance for the sale of their tickets, the coupon ticket agents average $50 as month in commissions, the action of the railroads will mean a loss of more than $500,000 monthly to the agents affected. About 150,000 of the 180,000 miles of railway in the United States are covered in the new arrangement, and many of the Colorado and western roads have signed the notice. Boers Prepared for Lóng Flight London, Jan. 25.—A dispatch to the Times from Spearman's camp, dated Tuesday, 9:30 p. m., says: The Boers to-day had more guns and are preparing to fight-almost intermirably, having entrenched the ridges which stretch in an almost unbroken line from the Drakenburg many miles eastward. Filling continued throughout the day. We have not advanced any further, but we threw up entrenchments during the night, from behind which the muskery duel continued from exactly the same position as yesterday.

Booker T. Washington is a product of Hampton Institute, the pioneer industrial institute of Hampton, Virginia. The proprietor of the Colorado STATESMAN was a collegemate of Professor Washington at Hampton. The murder and escape at the penitentiary last Monday was a most vicious occurrence, which will do much to banish the sickly sentiment so prevalent in favor of being lenient with criminals. Most criminals of the thieving and murdering class, are totally beyond the pole of human sympathy. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Booker T. Washington's visit to Denver and the lecture which he delivered last evening to a large audience of white and colored people in the finest church edifice in Colorado, give us a theme upon which we cannot say enough. Professor Washington, as the great apostle of industrial education for the Negro youth, has earned the title of the Moses of the Negro race, but as a true philosopher rather than as an educator, does he probably deserve that title. The great industrial school at Tuskegee, Alabama, over which he presides, is a wonderful institution, where hundreds of young men and women have already obtained, and thousands more will yet obtain, a priceless practical knowledge which will give them an advantage in life which nothing else would have brought but the principles upon which Mr. Washington basis his efforts, and the logic and tact with which he reaches and teaches both races in America, are the most important features of his wonderfully successful career, and, in fact, of his whole life. To engage the interest of the massss whose undivided problem the race question really is, is a thing which no other man in the world is doing in the manner and to the extent in which Booker T. Washington is doing it; and the fact that such a thing can be done, as he is ably proving, in itself is thoroughly convincing that the great race problem of America is well upon the way of final and happy solution. The industrial theory is lot altogether original with Mr. Washington, for he gained his start in a school founded upon that idea, and other men, both white and black, have advocated its benefits before him, but the wide and constant application and dissemination of that theory, until its virtues have become almost universally recognized, is the great work for which Mr. Washington deserves supreme credit. He argues that the advancement of the Negro is of as much moment to the white, people of America as to the Negro himself, and that the one must naturally and necessarily advance or retrograde in the same measure and at the same comparative speed as that in which the others does, for the two masses are so indissolubly linked by providence, that the conduct of the stronger toward the weaker must essentially react upon itself. He then urges the Negro to prepare himself to take advantage of the opportunities of the present and the future, by mastering industrial science, the foundation of all progress, under the present systems of society and government. To be able to do a work or thing better than the average man can do it, will lift any man over the barrier of race, argues Mr. Washington, or to possess a thing which the dominant man needs, will naturally obliterate the distinctions of race, based upon prejudice. The capability of the Negro to grasp Mr. Washington's ideas in their fullness, is the only possible question to arise, but the manner in which the bright young men and women of the South are grasping it and putting it into successful execution, already demonstrates that the Negro is equal to the occasion. But Mr. Washington's great personal work goes on in connection with his philosophy. In 1898, the total receipts and disbursements of Tuskegee Institute, were $160,000. The State of Alabama gave $4,500, and the balance came from private funds and endowments, the result of Mr. Washington's personal efforts. This work brought Mr. Washington to Denver, and we sincerely trust that the vast wealth of this great mineral belt may catch the philanthropic inspiration which has marked the goodness and wisdom of the wealth of other sections. Mr. Washington's hope has grown to the hope of the race and when one contemplates the splendid influence which this magnificent effort is exerting over ten millions of people directly, and indirectly the entire nation., the bright rays of human thankfulness bless the providence that gave to the world a Book-ar T. Washington. BOULDER BRIEF'S Mr. and Mrs. D. Howard went to the country on business. Mrs. James Hall has been feeling quite ill but is some better.

The so-called anti-imperialist opposition to the administration policy in the Philippines has its humorous side, and it is from that side that it has been treated generally in the press of the country. It is high time, however, that the serious view should be considered, and that the opponents of the administration should be called upon to formulate their policy in a positive statement. That the speeches of Senator Hoar and others, telegraphed to Hong Kong and thence to Manila, encouraged Aguinaldo and his followers, and that the continuance of the insurrection, and the blood of General Lawton and many others is directly chargeable to these treasonable encouragements of the armed enemies of our country, has been put beyond a doubt. It is time now to stop the foolishness. The so-called anti-imperialists differ among themselves as to the policy to be pursued; but one thing all of them apparently are united on: that the United States, when it abandons the Philippines to Aguinaldo and the Hong Kong junta, shall guarantee that no other nation shall put a stop to the anarchy which would naturally result from the withdrawal of the United States forces, or take possession of the islands or any part thereof, for the time of ten years at least. This is the most definite proposition upon which all the anti-imperialists appear to be united. This is a policy which can only be characterized as a dog-in-the-manager policy. Does any one imagine, who has any sense, that the other nations who would be glad to get possession of the islands would acknowledge for a moment the right of the United States to withdraw from them, and at the same time announce to the world that no other nation should take them? So long as we hold the islands, other nations acknowledge our right to do so; but the moment we withdraw, and allow the natives to make war on each other undisturbed, to violate the rights of traders, to pillage and massacre at their will, other nations are bound to see that the rights of their subjects are protected, and they will do so; and if we should undertake to prevent them we should have on our hands a world-wide war. The guaranty which the anti-imperialists propose, therefore, is a guaranty of war with England and Germany and Russia and probably France, all in the interests of peace. A more absurd proposition was never formulated by a man insane. There is not a single anti-imperialist, so far as their utterances disclose, who would have this country simply withdraw from the Philippines and leave them to their fate. Every one wants the United States to guarantee them from interference by any other power. Such a guaranty involves all the responsibilities and none of the benefits which would come from an occupation by this country. That the Filipinos would have under our government a larger measure of individual freedom, a better administration of justice, and a better chance to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" than under the dictatorship of an Aguinaldo, is not worth arguing. The question is whether this country, having undertaken a responsibility, shall flunk it. There is but one answer to such a question that can be given by the American people, and if Mr. Bryan and the majority of the Democrats in their next national convention shall declare that this country ought to adopt any such course as is now proposed by the Democratic leaders who seem to have most influence in the party, the popular verdict in the next election will be so overwhelming that the party will need a quarter of a century more to recruit its shattered forces enough to make a respectable contest. WOLCOTT AND THE PHILIPPINES Senator Wolcott's reply to Senator Pettigrew on the Philippine question was a scathing and timely rebuke to the gentleman from South Dakota and his fellow American Tagalog, who are banging away with their blunderbusses at the administration, notwithstanding, as Senator Wolcott says, there is "not an honest Democrat who did not admit that if his party were in power the first thing to be done would be to crush the insurrection." The Colorado senator said: "Scattered through every community there were the discontented and unhappy people who had not been successful and who viewed with suspicion and hatred all those whose lives had been crowned with success, who behind every good action looked for a lurking, sinister purpose." The people are fittingly represented in the United States Senate by such a man as Pettigrew, for "during all the years I have known him," stated Senator Wolcott, "I never knew him to say a kind or friendly word about a single person or a single cause." Senator Wolcott warmly defended the position of the President, who has taken no step "that did not reflect honor upon the people of the United States." He read from the President's message the extract about the duty of the government after the insurrection was over, to spare "no effort to build up the waste place." "to open schools and churches," "to foster trade and industry," and concluding with the words that it was "their liberty, not our power, which we are seeking to enhance." In speaking of the attitude of the United States toward the Philippines, Senator Wolcott maintained that we took the islands "not as a conquest, but as one of the highest duties we owed the human race." He upheld the retention of the Philippines upon the high grounds of humanity and not because of their value to us in dollars and cents. His address, while not a studied speech, was a notable one, as all of Senator Wolcott's utterances are. He showed that the United States government owes it to itself and to the natives that it establish peace and good government in the islands, and that our first duty, in carrying out such a policy, is to quell the insurrection.—Denver Times. Pettilent Pettigrew In the Senate yesterday Pettigrew pettigrewed with even more than his habitual pettigrewness. He said that Mr. McKinley had laid himself open to impeachment and had acted by order of the British government. He swatted the British government, "the ignorance and sycophancy of the British people," the "miserable, contemptible rot" of Rudyard Kipling, British rule in Egypt, and other things to numerous to mention. He said that white men couldn't live in the tropics, a saying characteristically pettigrew. By the side of Pettigrew even Billy Mason seems to have almost a rudimentary intelligence and a faint glimmering of reason.—N. Y. Sun. No Cover Necessary. No Cover Necessary. The administration seems determined to allow the "aunties" to fire all their ammunition before answering, but there will be a broadside when it does come. After witnessing the operations since the beginning of the Spanish war no rational citizen really believes that there is any necessity for the administration to cover up anything.—Minneapolis Tribune. Bryan and Kentucky. Bryan denies the report that he urged the Democrats of Kentucky to respect the will of the people of the state as expressed in the election. The story was improbable on its face. Bryan is not the man who would raise his hand to prevent his party from committing a fraud if he thought that the fraud would give it control of any important office. Still, Goebel steals the governorship. Bryan and his party may bid a long good-by to power in Kentucky-St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Danish West Indies. The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, the leading Republican paper of Ohio, says, anent the proposition to purchase the Danish West India islands: "The island are on the market, the price is reasonable, they will add completeness to our system of coaling and harbor stations in western waters. The evident conclusion would seem to be that, regardless of any other consideration, they are a desirable purchase." A. Disciple. In a sermon on "Creeds and Trusts" a Chicago clergyman, the Rev. Alexander Kent of the People's Church, put forth the novel theory that religion and theology are the sources of trusts. If the tariff was the mother of trusts, as has been asserted, he declared, then he was "justified in saying that popular theology is the grandmother of trusts." as the tariff is not the mother of trusts. Mr. Kent's very interesting theory falls—New York Sun. Froth The earnest efforts made by the President and his Cabinet to get action out of Congress for the establishment of a government in Puerto Rico is a sufficient answer to the outcry made by Oliver Belmont in a December magazine in which he accused the administration of a plot to prevent any disposition of Puerto Rico at the present session of Congress. According to the Popocratic theory, McKinley desires to be a dictator in our new possessions and Belmont even suggested that Congress would be invited to append a new title to the President. He would be hereafter styled "President of the United States and Emperor of the Philippines and Puerto Rico." The amount of cheap froth that has been emitted from the jaws of the traducers of the administration since the adjournment of the last Congress in connection with its alleged "imperialism" is incalculable.—Nebraska State Journal. Copperheads of To-day. The copperheads will be a little slow about putting themselves in the way of getting another drubbing like the one they got on the Pettigrew proposition. In fact, the copperheads are about as feeble to-day as they were in 1861-65. They are feebler, indeed, than they were at one time during that period. They carried several northern states in 1862 and 1863, and ran the Democratic national convention in 1864. They failed to run the country then, however, and they will fail now.—St Louis Globe-Democrat.

SATIN RIBBONS. 23c FREE-TRADE SOPHISTRY COMPLETELY DISCREDITED. Impressive Lessons Taught by Our National Experiences in the Past Eight Years Under Different Economic Systems. Statesmen in forecasting the industrial outlook for several years prior to the enactment of the Wilson tariff predicted the defeat of protection to American industries. For decades the country has been filling up with people from foreign shores who, without any reflection upon their general intelligence and motives in seeking a new place for industrious pursuits, were ignorant of the government and institutions of this republic. In this condition they easily became the victims of the political shyster and demagogue. The cry of "tariff reform" was raised and persistently exploited until a sufficient number of people were deceived into voting against the interests of the laboring classes to carry the election. During the campaigns leading up to the catastrophes of 1890 and 1892 no sophism, falsehood or misrepresentation was unappealed to for the purpose of misleading the workingmen and laborers. Peddlers with tinware on their backs were started out over the rural districts with instructions to ask double the usual price for such goods. Upon being inquired of for the cause of such advanced prices, they credited them to the McKinley bill. Democratic campaigners vehemently asserted that the dinner bucket would double in price. An ex-governor of this state held aloft a tin cup while he berated the tariff on tin. Another ex-governor charged the Republicans with admitting diamonds free for the benefit of the plutocrats. Both were false, and only intended to mislead and deceive the ignorant. Newspaper and magazine writers quoted decisions of the Supreme court of the United States against the principle of protection to industries, which had no more to do with the tariff for protection than Pike's peak with the Gulf stream. The flood tide went on, and Cleveland was landed in the presidency. Then the storm began, and for four long years the whole people suffered as never before. Every prediction of Republicans in the press and on the stump was more than verified in the daily experience of every business man. Laborers were idle, factories were closed, the consumptive capacity of the people declined more and more, foreign importations grew less, commerce languished, the national bonded debt largely increased, involvements and receiverships were more numerous than ever, individual indebtedness grew as the years rolled by—all the direct result of Democratic "tariff reform." The aggregate losses to the nation have been conservatively estimated at four or five billions of dollars The foreign contingent could not be schooled in the economy of protection, except by paying this enormous tuition in the school of experience. The greatest prosperity hitherto attained was in Harrison's administration after the passage of the McKinley bill. If that was great, the people clamored for still greater figures in trade and commerce, and were led to believe that "tariff reform" under Democratic administration would bring it. In vain history was adduced to prove disaster and ruin always, had followed low tariffs, or tariffs squinting toward free trade. "Tariff for revenue," a sweet political morsel under Democratic tongues, always increased the public debt. The lesson, though a long and hard one, was learned at last for this generation, and the majority of voters wanted no more of that kind of experience. That trinity of administrations—Harrison's, Cleveland's and McKinley's—prosperity sandwiching dire adversity, should be treasured as a warning precedent by every working-man and be handed down to his latest posterity. The lesson of this recent national experience is that men who so recently have been reversed in their prognostications by the trend of political events cannot in any sense be trusted with the solution and determination of the profound problems of the present nor those which will arise in the future.—Topeka Capital. TRUTH AS TO TRUSTS An Economic Evolution in No Manner Due to Tariff Laws. The purpose of the Democracy next year to veil their attack upon the tariff, as they did in 1892, under the guise of an anti-trust cry, is daily becoming more apparent. The fact that the tariff has little to do with the trusts is a matter of no consequence to the Democracy, for that party is never hampered by facts when it is given a shibboleth which it believes will enable it to score a victory. The truth that trusts are independent of tariff is shown by the fact that in free trade England they have had a growth and assumed proportions unknown in this country, thus evidencing that they are an economic evolution in no manner due to tariff laws. A recent cable dispatch to the New York Tribune, discussing the trusts in England, says: "Free trade offers no safeguard against them. English law is powerless to regulate them, for it is obviously impracticable to prevent manufacturers from carrying out arrangements for selling their own properties to themselves and managing their business more economically by reducing their expense account and the pressure of competition. There is no outcry against trusts and combinations in A PLEASANT NEW YEAR'S CALL. U.S. PLEASE PROACTIVITY England, since the general effect of these industrial amalgamations is to reduce the cost of manufactured articles for the benefit of consumers. There is, however, a growing feeling of public indignation over the excesses and irregularities of stock promoting and the lack of efficient safeguards for the protection of share owners." If England, with a strong central government, finds it difficult to draft legislation which will prevent trusts, it is easy to comprehend the greater difficulty in the United States, where it is possible to incorporate them under the laws of any one state, which may legislate in their favor and with whose power to do so the federal government cannot interefere and against whose action the other states cannot effectively legislate.—Cincinnati Times-Star. FACT VS. THEORY. British Free Traders Staggered by the Workings of the Protective Policy. The trend of thought in England regarding the advantages of the policy of protection is indicated by the following editorial paragraph in a recent issue of the Shetland Telegraph: "President McKinley's message to congress will be read with great interest. At the very outset it contains a statement calculated to stagger our free traders. One of their favorite theories is that protective duties kill a country's export trade. Well, the United States are indulging at present in about as stiff a protective tariff as anybody need want to live under; yet President McKinley was able to inform congress that the commerce of the country was in a state of unexamined prosperity. In fact, the imports and exports were the largest ever known in the history of the United States, while the exports alone for 1899 exceeded by more than a billion dollars the exports and imports combined for the year 1870. If the protective tariffs strangle trade, we could do with a little of the same kind of strangling on this side of the "herring pond," even though our own trade statistics just at present are not of the kind to grumble at." Much has occurred in the past two and a half years, since the Dingley tariff went into effect, that is "calculated to stagger" free traders everywhere. The Sheffield editor is among those who have begun to think seriously and deeply about the question of the potency of free trade to promote and the tendency of protection to destroy a country's export trade. It is a case where an ounce of actual fact is put in the scale opposite a ton of theory, and the ounce outweighs the ton. Republicans and Trusts. The Supreme Court has decided in every case in which unlawful combinations are attempted in violation of interstate commerce that congress has power to legislate. It has, therefore, sustained the views of Harrison, Sherman and leading Republicans which are embodied in the Sherman law and has rejected the doubts of Mr. Cleveland and his associates, which seemed to prevent the two entirely Democratic congresses which followed the congress enacting the Sherman law from taking any action hostile to trusts. In this latest decision (the Addystone case) the court has declared without reservation that congress has power to legislate against all combinations of manufacturers which are in restraint of commerce between the states. And now President McKinley urges congress, which has the highest assurance of its right to legislate against trusts prejudicial to interstate commerce, to enact further anti-trust laws—Indianapolis Journal. Status of Protection Those little Democratic papers which are worrying about the fancied inconsistency of a protective tariff in America with the demand by our government for an "open door" in China, and which are predicting a Republican change of front to free trade, have but an imperfect grasp of the status of the tariff question in the United States. As a matter of fact, no party does question the policy of protection. The Democrats were forced to abandon that issue in 1896, because they say that they could not carry ten states on it. Protection is stronger than ever before in this country. The Dingley bill was passed in 1897 by a senate not Republican, and the results are an indorsement of that policy. The "open door" in China does not mean free trade. England, Germany and Russia are perfectly welcome to lay tariffs on imports in the territory they have taken from China so that they do not interfere with the treaties we have made with the Chinese government. These newspapers might learn from Mr. Bryan that there is no hope of votes in fighting protection in the United States. See how careful he is to antagonize that policy. He will not even recognize free trade as a remedy for trusts. Mr. Bryan is a pretty good practical politician and he does not intend to put himself in a position to be run over by the protection band wagon. There is no longer an anti-protection party in this country, though these dreamy free-trade theorists seem unable to grasp the fact. Superior (Wis.) Leader. How a Monopoly Was Broken How a Monopoly Was Broken. The free trade papers which are finding so much consolation in Mr. Griffith's testimony regarding the profits of tin plate manufacture under the recent combination, lose sight of that part of his statement in which he said that at the time of the passage of the McKinley tariff bill and for some time previous the price of plate was $5.65 a box. At that time all the plate used in this country was made in Wales, and the duty was the same as it was on sheet iron. In other words, the low duty gave the British manufacturers a monopoly which enabled them to obtain $5.65, against the present price of $4.65. Probably much of the advance in plates is due to the advance in steel, which is from 75 to 100 per cent. The probability is that if there were no more duty on tin plates now than there is on the steel of which the plates are made, outsiders could not regain the American markets, because our manufacturers have learned the business, and, moreover, have introduced machinery which cheapens the cost. It would, however, be well for congress to consider this matter, and if there is a combination to prevent the purchase of machinery by outside parties, put that machinery on the free list for a time. After all, the public may rest assured that if there is a profit of even 25 per cent in the manufacture of tin plates, it will not be long until independent competitors will find ways to operate mills and put their goods upon the market. When they do, the combination, which must pay interest and dividends on bonds and stock representing four times the amount for which new factories can be built, will be the loser in the competition.—Indianapolis (Ind.) Journal. Rapid Transit. It is conceded that there has never been known in the world anything quite so fast as the modern railway train, but fast as that is, prosperity, with the protective tariff as the propelling power, has quite outstripped it. None of our railroads can keep pace with it, and from all over the country come reports of scarcity of cars, of freight receipts too great to be handled with the desired promptness, of overtaxed capacity, of crowding everywhere. The railroads will need to look out for their laurels. It Has Always Worked That Way All parties in this country believe in tariff taxation for certain purposes. The Democratic party is for tariff for revenue, and the Republican party for tariff for protection. But Mr. McKinley's imperial policy, if permanently adopted, will destroy both.—Columbus Press-Post. But you have probably noticed that when Democracy had an opportunity to show what it could do for a "tariff for revenue" it only succeeded in producing a deficit in revenue.—Mansfield (O.) News.

In accordance with the recommendation of parliament, writes a Woolwich correspondent, the British navy is being strengthened by the addition of a gun which will insure the supremacy of Great Britain over the seas for many years to come, says the London Leader. It is known as the twelve-inch steel and wire gun, and is not only the best weapon which the royal navy has ever had, but is far superior to any gun possessed by any foreign navy. It weighs fifty tons, is forty-one feet long, has a muzzle velocity of 2,367 feet per second. The projectile weighs 850 pounds, the bursting charge being eighty-three pounds and the firing charge $167\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of cordite. The admiralty has ordered 450, at a cost of £10,000 each. Of these 150 have been completed, and 300 are still in the hands of the contractors. Each man-of-war will carry four of these formidable weapons, and when the navy is supplied they will be issued to forts on the sea front. The new gun will be the heaviest in the service, and will take the place of the 110-ton, 100-ton and 80-ton guns, of which no more are to be made. The best Krupp gun can fire a shot twelve and a half miles, and the United States government is constructing at its arsenal at Watervilt a monster gun which, it is said, will carry a heavy shot twenty-one miles. The new British naval gun, though less than half the weight of the American weapon, mounted on the heights of Dover, can, however, drop a shell on the shores of France. No accuracy of aim could, of course, be obtained or maintained at this long distance, the effective range being 16,000 yards, or between nine and ten miles. A WARRIOR OF THE DEEP: The Swordfish Is a Fighter Absolutely Without Fear. The swordfish is utterly without fear and will, like a buffalo or rhinoceros charge anything that offends it, often doing an amount of execution hardly to be believed did not the evidence exist, says the San Francisco Call. Combat between swordfish are most interesting and may be compared to a duel between two expert swordmen. Such a contest was observed off the long pier that extends out into the ocean at Santa Monica, near Los Angeles, last year. Some fishermen noticed two big fish leaping out of the water and dashing along the surface. Soon it was seen that they were swordfish. The season was when the fish are unusually ferocious. They had made several rushes and when observed were at close quarters, striking each other powerful side blows like cavalrymen. This was unsatisfactory, and finally they separated and darted at each other like arrows, the water hissing as their sharp dorsal fins cut through it. They evidently struck head on, one missing, while the sword of the other struck just below the eye and plowed a deep furrow in the fish, partly disabling it, so that it turned and attempted to escape. But its adversary also turned and with a rush drove its sword completely through the body of its foe and held it fast, only wrenching its weapon loose when its enemy stopped swimming.

Items of Interest From the City and the State Capitol. Some of Denver's bakers are being fined for selling under-weight loaves of bread. The various posts of the G. A. R. in this city are talking of putting up a building to be used by all of them. Rev. F. F. Passmore, the minister who, was driven from the Methodist Church because of his denunciations of high officials, has returned to Denver after spending some time in mining. He tried to speak at Asbury Church Sunday, but was ejected and arrested. On the night of the 26th the offices of the Illustrated Weekly and Rocky Mountain Sentinel were broken into and several articles of value stolen, including a case of fifty watches used for premium purposes, the manager's overcoat, some stamps, etc. It is thought the thieves will be caught, as the watches all bore the trade mark, "The Calhoun Watch, Denver, Colo." Deputy Register O'Reilly of the state land board, who is preparing a list of delinquents who hold land under the certificate of purchase plan, has found that the sum due to one state is $28,000. Not all the delinquents have yet been discovered. About 1,000 certificates are yet to be examined. W, H. Lawrence, who purchased under this plan section 36, township 3, range 60 west in 1880, is behind $8,000 in payments. This represents a balance of the purchase price, $10,000, and interest at seven per cent. Money collected from the delinquents will go into the public school permanent fund and the interest into the public school income fund. Chief Engineer Cowan of the Colorado & Southern, has returned from an inspection of the work on the Cripple Creek Short Line in South Platte canon. He says that the ground is so frosty that the men are making slow progress. He does not think it practicable to do more than complete the working surveys before spring. The survey is now complete for eight miles up from South Platte station, and so far the construction presents no very great difficulties. Rhodes Bros. remain confident that they can prove in court that the short line can be carried around and above their reservoir site, and to this end have surveyors in the field running test lines. Options on forty acres of land lying on the hill back of the paper mills, together with several blocks in the plot of Manchester, have been secured for the location of the works of the Denver Snelling Company. H. H. Jorralman, who is at the head of the project, is in New York securing money and has reported progress that practically assures the success of the undertaking. This company some months ago secured an option on the old county poor farm at $12,000, and it was later represented all negotiations in Denver were off on a site in Grand Junction would be occupied. Jarnuth and Harrison have been entering on negotiations for the property at Manchester. The price of the site in South Denver will be something in the neighborhood of $50,000, and the company will have land not only for the works, but for the homes of the workmen. The religious scruples of Attorney General D. M. Campbell are invulnerable to the demands of common duties of the position he holds in the state government. It has developed that he did not go to Rocky Ford last Sunday with the governor to inspect the land sought by the Oxnard Beet Sugar Company, as instructed by the land board. The same scruples kept him at home last fall when several members of the board visited lands in the vicinity of Lamar, where the Great Plains Water Company wanted 40,000 acres of school property. Mr. Campbell will not travel on Sunday and positively refuses to perform any duties on the Lord's Day that can be accomplished at another time. These junkets to the barren lands he holds in the light of duties that can be performed on week days as well as on Sunday, and as long as the Sabbath is designated for them he will remain at home. Health Commissioner Carlin has inaugurated a crusade against city bakeries which are selling loaves of bread under weight. For the past few days Dr. Carlin has had several sanitary inspectors engaged in purchasing bread from the different bakeries in the city. The department laboratory yesterday looked as if the product of at least one fully equipped bakery in 5-cent and 10-cent loaves had been stored in it. The loaves represented the purchases of the sanitary inspectors and Assistant Meat Inspector Hopkins. As a result of the investigation a complaint was filed in the police court during the afternoon against Adolph Roederer, a baker of 1022 Larmer street. The charge is for selling bread under weight, and is brought under sections 1066 and 1067 of the health ordinances. A test will be made of the Roederer case, and, if the ordinance is sustained as constitutional, other prosecutions will follow. The State Forestry Association held its annual meeting Wednesday at the Chamber of Commerce and elected the following officers: President, W. N. Byers; vice president, Henry Michelsen; secretary and treasurer, D. W. Working, Professor C. S. Crandall of the State Agriculture College, speaking on "Reforestation," told of the time it takes to reforest a burned area. The trees of most rapid growth on the hillsides at the end of 150 years will have a diameter of only 9.45 inches; minimum growth, 3.49 inches; average, 6.70. Sometimes, when the trees are crowded, they will have a diameter of only one inch at the end of this time. Speaking of a large region west of Fort Collins which he had trumped over for the collection of facts, he told of putting out fires left burning within plain sight of the notices posted against such practices. Colonel May, government superintendent of forestry for Colorado, told of his work in preserving the forests of the five government reservations of the state. His deputies had extinguished 150 fires during the year, he said. He submitted a list of questions to the association concerning the best methods of reforestation and the best methods of securing a growth of grass, to retain the moisture and preserve the streams. CONVICTS RECAPTURED. Wallace and Woode Returned to Prison —Wallace Did the Killing. Denver, Jan. 26.—A special to the News from Canon City says: Kid Wallace and Antone Woode were captured last night on the toll road between Canon City and Victor. They were snuggled into the penitentiary at an early hour this morning, giving the people of the town no opportunity to carry out the threats of lynching. Woode says that Wallace did the stabbing, and Wallace makes no denial. They talk of the crime with cold-blooded indifference. Nothing can be learned from them of the whereabouts of Reynolds and Wagoner. Warden Hoyt confirms the statement of Secretary Stonaker that the warden's orders were disobeyed. He defends his use of trusties, and says that Stratton's release was a straight turn-out and not an escape. He also says that Rooney was warned against placing Wagoner on the night force. Reynolds and Wagoner are known to be near Victor and their capture is almost certain. In referring to the murder Woode asserted that the stabbing was done by Wallace. "Toney, how many times do you suppose Wallace struck Rooney?" asked the warden. "Oh, I suppose ten or a dozen times. He socked it right to him," was the cold-blooded reply. Wallace did not deny the charge. Both wretches discussed the matter in the same off-hand manner they might have employed in talking of killing a hare. Both stiffly deny any knowledge of the reasons of Reynolds or Wagoner, and each deceases they were deserted as soon as the wall was cleared. Warden Hoyt says: "Only one guard on duty that night has been relieved from duty as yet. This was E. D. Kellogg, who was stationed in tower No. 3. He was not over fifty feet from where the four convicts went over the wall," explained the warden, "and stood right off the boilers and egines where the commotion occurred. If he been on guard he could not have helped or seeing something that was going on yet, says he did not. What he did was to crawl into his night bucket and pull the cover down." The statement that orders were disobeyed was affirmed. Warden Hoya says that Chief Engineer Page, while declining to make a direct charge on the ground that he did not like to draw a dead man into the matter, stated to him confidently that he had brought the matter before the night captain and cautioned him against taking the chances of placing Wagoner on the night force. Rooney had acknowledged the error, but did not feel alarmed, he said, now that the dial and wires were all in shape to announce instantly any disobedience of rules. Feeling here is largely in sympathy with Warden Hoyt, as it is a well established fact that the institution has been running with a short force of trusty men to depend upon. DENVER GET JUSTICE. The Fight to Secure Equitable Freight Rates Succeeds. Washington, D. C., Jan. 26—Attorney W. B. Harrison of Denver, representing George J. Kindel and the Denver Chamber of Commerce, and Judge Payson, attorney for the Southern Pacific railway, appeared before the United States Interstate Commerce Commission to-day and reached an agreement so far as the Southern Pacific is concerned in the suit brought to compel a legal classification of Denver freight rates. Judge Payson, on behalf of his road, agreed that Missouri river rates should be put in effect at Denver immediately. Mr. Harrison said that he believed if the Southern Pacific were to put these rates into effect that other roads would have to follow suit, but he insisted that the case should be heard in Denver on the return of the train from its expected visit to the Pacific coast next month. The rehearing is to be coupled to violations of section four of the interstate commerce act, and will be held solely to give the railroads not granting the concession an opportunity to furnish additional evidence if they desire to do so. If the Southern-Pacific compiles with the agreement reached to-day the case against other roads will be continued until they take the same action. It was believed, however, at to-day's meeting, that the whole matter will be adjusted to the satisfaction of Denver parties to the suits without further litigation. British Capture an Important Position? London, Jan. 25.—The war office has issued the following report from General Buller, Spearman's Camp, dated January 25th, 10 o'clock a. m.; "General Warren's troops last night occupied Spion kop, surprising the small garrison, who fled. It has been held by us all day, though we were heavily attacked, especially by a very annoying shell fire. "I feared our casualties are considerable, and I have to inform you, with regret, that General Woodgate was dangerously wounded. "General Warren is of the opinion that he has rendered the enemy's position untenable. The men are splendid." London, Jan. 26.—Advises have been received from Spearman's Camp that General Woodgate has succeeded to the wounds he received in the attack upon Spion Kop. Warship to Protect Merchants. Hong Kong, Jan. 25.—The German gunboat Hits has gone to Canton for the protection of German residents, the Briti brigands of the vicinity having threatened to dynamite the premises of the European merchants of Canton unless an indemnity of 10,000 taels (about $6,500) is forthcoming. The Chinese authorities are greatly alarmed. Report Their Army Disbanded Port of Spain, Trinidad, Jan. 25.—Generals Pedro and Horatio Ducharme, who commanded the Venezuelan revolutionists in Yrapa and Guila, have arrived here. They report their forces as disbanded, owing to the amicable arrangements having been made with Generals Valentini and Morales of the government forces. Trade with Yrapa and Guila has been resumed. FIRES IN TWO TOWNS FIRES IN TWO TOWNS WARD AND LAFAYETTE SOFFER The Entire Business Portion of Ward Destroyed With a Loss of $80,000—Sever, al Business Houses in Lafayette Are in Ashes. Denver, Jan. 25.—A special received by the Republican last night from Ward, Colorado, says: Boulder county's leading gold mining camp went up in frame and smoke to-day, and the townsite to-night resembles a basin with the bottom burned out, the saved dwelling houses forming the rim. In the basin were all the business houses, every one of which was destroyed. Several of these business houses were extensive two and three-story frame and stone structures, built since the advent of the Colorado & Northwestern railroad in 1898. All of the town records, including the ordinances, land plots and data relating to town lots were lost in the destruction of the town hall. The Odd Fellows' hall, which was a large and well appointed building for lodge meetings, was included in the loss. In this hall the Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Fraternal Union, A. O. U. W. and Woodmen had their records and paraphernalia, and many of them, especially the Odd Fellows, were owners of fine regalia, nearly all of which was burned with this building. There were forty-eight buildings in all destroyed, including business houses and dwellings. This does not include a number of small buildings, such as barns, ice houses, etc. The loss is conservatively estimated at $40,000 with an insurance not exceeding $40,000. The insurance rates were ten per cent. The business part of the town and little was carried. The town was without fire protection, save where the Utica Mining Company's water main was tapped in one spot, and the fire was too near and too severe and fierce to allow this one point to be available. The fire is believed to have originated from an ash pan in the hallway of the McClancy hotel, a three-story building. Some claim the fire sprang from an adjoining house, owned by F. R. Felton, and occupied by roomers. The fire was first discovered at 1:45 a. m. Lafayette, Colo., Jan. 25.—Two of the main business blocks of Lafayette were destroyed by fire yesterday morning. An overheated stove in the lodge room in the Noble Merchantile Company building was the cause of the conflagration. The blaze started about 4 o'clock in the morning. The wind at the time was blowing a perfect gale. The lower floor of the building was occupied by the Western Trading & Supply Company. The hall upstairs was occupied by the Masons, Old Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Rebekahs and Rathbone Sisters. The building was a complete loss, as was all of the paraphernalia of the lodges. The postoffice, Hyman's general merchandise store, E. E. Becket's stationery and cigar store, John Deren Bros.' general merchandise store, Oates Bros.' pool room, A. Kulleren's shop, the opera house, Barrett & Barisford's bakery, C. A. Carlson's tailor shop, Auert's jewelry store, George Bauer's residence and a barber shop followed in quick succession. H. T. Bocker's drug store was also destroyed. Coroner Treslie of Boulder lost about $600 worth of Jus Runge's house and livery barn were destroyed. The horses were taken out of the stable before the fire reached it. The fire burned on both sides of the street, and was so hot that the firemen had to lie flat in the street to be able to turn the water on the flames. The pressure on the water mains, however, was too light to enable the firemen to fight the fire with any success. Baby Steals a Locomotive. Portland, Ore, Jan. 25.—The three-year-old son of W. B. Evans, an engineer on the St. John's motor line, about noon to day climbed into an engine which was standing in the yard and opened the throttle. In a short space of time the engine was going at a rate of twenty miles per hour. The father of the boy started in pursuit as soon as he heard the engine moving off, but the speed was too great for him to overhaul it. He telegraphed to the stations ahead, but when Portsmouth, the next station, was reached, no one dared make the attempt to hit it as it thundered past. When within six hundred yards of the end of the line he buried the engine down and a heavy grade was dumped which shackened the speed. A motorman on a connecting electric line, who had been informed by telephone, jumped on board and stopped the engine within a few feet of the terminus. The boy held on to the throttle all the way and was not at all disconcerted over his perilous ride. British Capture the Stone Wall Spearman's Camp, Jan. 23, 9:30 p.m. - The British field artillery and howitzers shelled the enemy posted on the crest of the ridge this morning. The infantry, under excellent cover, kept up an effective fire ride. The Boers resigned a kopie, of which the British infantry took possession. When retiring the enemy sheltered themselves behind a stone wall on the slope of the kopie, which they held for hours. This afternoon they ran across the ravine. The British artillery poured shrapnel and lyddite into them and the infantry took the stone wall. The British casualty list was small. A dynamite explosion about 11 o'clock Wednesday night partially wrecked the handsome residence of A. V. Hunter, the well-known mining man and financier of Leadville. The dynamite was placed between his house and that of James Ritchey and almost shattered the walls of both buildings, causing a damage of several hundred dollars. As this is the third dynamite explosion within a week, the community is naturally very much worked up over the circumstance. The police have no theory as to who is responsible for the outrage. The last explosion occurred Tuesday night, when a bomb was thrown in the rear of the county jail, but no serious damage occurred. A heavy reward has already been offered for the perpetrator of the outrage. Meals on Street Cars A plan is under consideration in Chicago to attach buffet cars as trarollers to ordinary street cars. The cars will seat twenty persons and the fare will be 5 cents extra for ordinary trips. The crew will consist of a conductor and the porter, who is also to have charge of the "kitchen," so called, but which consist of the small range and urs in mumoad buffets. Under the systems, the man will take his friends and customers to luncheon and then them the city at the same time, or he may take his breakfast while riding to the office.

There were admitted to the asylums of New York state during the year 406 persons whose insanity was attributed to adverse conditions, such as loss of friends, business troubles, etc. The number of victims of mental strain or overwork was 298. Religious excitement was the cause of ninety-six cases. Forty-seven—fourteen men and thirty-three women—lost their reason because of "love affairs." Fright and nervous shock made fifty-two insane. Intemperance was the cause of 534 instances. Through diseases of the physical system, or from causes not ascertained, 3,216 persons were committed as insane. The total number admitted during the year was 4,649, and of these fifty-five were found to be not insane. Nearly half of those admitted had inherited the taint of insanity—Leslie's Weekly.

For the past Eight Years Lynching has Been on the Decline. According to statistics complied by the Boston Courant, lynchings have occurred in the United States in recent years as follows: 1885 184; 1886 138; 1887 122; 1888 142 1889 176; 1890 127; 1891 182; 1892 255 1893 200; 1894 190; 1895 171; 1896 131 1897 66; 1898 127; 1899 107; 1900 ? It will be observed that the evil reached its high water mark in 1892 when 235 were lynched. The decline from that time until the present year has been fairly gradual. A slight increase is noticeable in 1897 when 166 persons were victims of mobs. Considering the statistics of the Courant as accurate, the optimists have great reasons of their faith. It certainly argues good for the future, in that there is a preceptible decline in lynchings. This decline must be attributed as much to the influential Northern dailies; also many Southern ones, as to the efforts on the part of the Negroes themselves. The creation of public sentiment against the pernicious practice, the result of those agencies, has proven a means of bringing about results that more radical means may not have secured. It is a matter of congratulation that the evil is dying out from the weight of public opinion which is decidedly against it. It is a mistaken notion that the whole country is indifferent to the savage outbursts that appear a cancerous growth on the body politic of the country. There are but very few men who are mobbusts by instinct, either white or black. The fact is simply this; that the log cabin and the big house idea is yet vivid in the minds of those who dwelt in the white houses. It will take years of earnest endeavor on the port of either race to disassociate these incidents of by gone days. What has followed the slavery period is but the natural result of the breaking up of the period. It is evolution. Evolution does not move by fits and starts, but runs its cycle as a malignant disease and ends only when it ends. Balms may be administered, must be administered to prevent total annihilation, but they simply serve to assuage that the end may be well but they cannot eradicate. Time, the great dispenser of all good gifts to mankind claims the right of way, and to it must be pinned our hopes of delivery. To implore governmental intervention for relief is a privilege, but a privilege merely. It is a privilege that is sometimes attended with sacrifices. The sovereignty of the state is talismanic to the citizens of the state and it will be but a poor state that does not in some way defend the actions of the state no matter how far reaching and damaging these actions are. The inactivity of the government in the matter of the late disf unchising acts in the Southern states is conclusive that the government has reckoned the cost; for, we must not suppose the government is sitting suppinely by allowing depredations to be committed on a part of its citizens, if it could, by the turn of the hand, bring about the needel reforms. All of the recent presidents have expressed a desire that the races should dwell together in peace. It may mean but little to those who suffer the arrows of outrageous fortune; these "meaning," platinum; but it is the very best that the age will permit. No government wills its own destruction; it carries out those programs, policies and expediences that contribute to governmental longevity. However there is no defense of the miquitous practice that has gained the country unenviable notoriety abroad and created distrust and hatred in the hearts of those at home. The law's delay, so often urged in defense of the atrocious acts is but a lame excuse. In our highly civilized communities apprehension equals conviction in event there is the evidence of guilt. The laws are defeated of their eats, which are to protect the weak, when the communities become a law into themselves; there being no appeal but from Caesar drunk, to Caesar drunk. In the name of the innocent ones who are soruck down by an avalanche of opposition who have their side of the story crowded down their throats, in the name of the laws which are instituted as bulwarks of defense for the maltreated and maligned, in the name of the country that has begun to belt the earth with its territories; its multitribed islands, let us have peace at home. L'et the year 1900 witness less lynchings than previous years. May the mellowing influence of time and right endeavor, soften the racial asperities so that we may be able to greet the dawn of the twentieth century with a joy like unto that which cometh in the morning. — The Freeman. WESTERN UNIVERSITY. (Qaidardo, Kansas) All school work is in a prosperous condition. The college choir has won a distinguished reputation.

American Oyster Trade American oysters rank among the best in the world, and the export list is growing all the time. England takes about 3,000 barrels a week all the year round. Gore, says the New York Sun, are the days of the old Saddle Rocks, which no man could place entire in his mouth, which for frying were the Elysium of the Philadelphia chef. In the old days there were only three centers for oysters—Baltimore, New York and New Haven. The best oysters came from Blue Point, Oak Haven, Buzzard's Bay (deep water), Lynn Haven (Chesapeake), Shrewsbury, Mill Pond, Rockaway, Maurice River Cove (mouth of Delaware), Great South and Lower Bay. Experts in the business say that the finest oysters obtainable are in the first weeks of May, as then the fat, luscious, Virginia oysters come north to be planted. Virginia oysters are placed in spawn in "spat beds" along the deeper water waters of bays and estuaries. Each is capable of producing 1,000,000 eggs. The government's census of the island of Puerto Rico shows it has 957,000 inhabitants. The largest city is Ponce with 56,000. San Juan, the capital, has 32,500. J. B. B. Our aim is to please.
