From present indications Leadviile

gold strikes are causing the stir.
The report of the state board of
pardons, just published, shows that of
175 applicants for pardon 70 were rec
ommended for pardon, 11 for commuta
tion, 5 for transfer to the reformatory,
4 referred to the penitentiary commis
sioners, 1 to the board of control and
84 were refused. From these figures it
will be seen that the pardoning power
was used with lavish liberality by the
Waite administration, but turning
criminals loose by the wholesale was
probably one way the Populists had of
“reforming” Colorado.
The Inter Mountain stands first, last
and always for our town. We believe
in Steamboat Springs for what she is
and what she is bound to be. We had
rather see the county seat located here
than at any other point in tho county.
But we frankly confess what everyone
else is bound to acknowledge, that the
county seat is better located at Hayden
than at Hahn’s Peak. We go farther
and say that since Hayden has put up
the money and got a decision from the
courts removing tho couniy seat from
the inaccessible and out of the way
place where it is, she is better entitled
to it than any other towu in the county.
Yes, and we will go one step farther
and say that there is not a point on the
river that is more accessible and con
venient to all citizens of the county
than Hayden. Steamboat Springs

Not Living up to Professions.
Last Saturday Judge Rucker dis
solved the New Castle bridge injunc
tion case. The Herald is sorry for this
as it is a case wherein capital and
monopoly has won a victory over the
people and forced an expensive road
and bridge upon the overwhelmed tax
payers of the county, which they are
not able to bear. Glen wood Spriugs
Herald (Populist).
We are not at all familiar with the
case referred to above, but our Glen
wood contemporary’s criticisms re
minds us of the fact that Senator
Stewart of Nevada, the leading Popu
list of the West, is the recognized de
fender of the Southern Pacific Railroad
company in the United States senate.
This grasping corporation is known
from one end of the land to the other
as the worst form of monopoly in ex
istence, but this knowledge does not
prevent the Populist senator from
Nevada from appearing in congress as
its attorney. Seems to us that the Popu
lists’ are not very successful as monop
oly crushers. Evidently they don’t get
the right kind of a hold on the mon
ster; or, perhaps they depend too much
on their mouths as offensive weapons.

After all ex-President Harrison may

It appears that there are senators who

Senator Sherman’s war on sleeping

The cares of the presidency did not
prevent General Harrison trying to get

prevent his accepting the nomination
again, if it be offered to him.
t+t
It is a bad law that will not apply to
all. Now that Judge Woods has sen
tenced Eugene Debs to six months im
prisonment under the Sherman anti

the trusts, for which it was supposed to
have been made.

Ex-Congressman Warner, president
of the Bimetallic League, struck the
bull’s eye, when he told the house com

it were profitable to the banks to issue
the proposed currency, they would do
it; if it were not made profitable, they
would not do it.
Current Topics in the Schools.
The suggestion that every teacher,
whether in city, village or district
school, should strive to interest his pu
pils iu the study of current topics, is an
excellent one. Tho primary object of
school instruction is not merely to carry
the pupils through so many text-books
on so many different subjects, but so to
guide their growing minds as to develop
the best manhood and womanhood. To
accomplish these results, the teacher
must go outside the text-books, must
put life into his teaching, aud must con
nect the school work with the life and
thought of the ""day, especially the
broader thought of tho great outside
world as yet but little known to tho pu
pils in the schools. The first requisite
for the successful study of current top
ics in the schools is a teacher who is
himself in sympathy aud iu contact with
the best thought of the day. The next
requisite is a journal that can be used
as a text-book ; one that will furnish the
necessary record of events and comment
thereon, with a good range and variety
of reading. With such a journal, tho
teacher can make the study of current
topics of great benefit, not only to the
scholars but to himself. A weekly
journul that fhirly presents all sides of
every important public question, and
that admirably meets tho requirements
for the study of current topics in tho
schools, is Public Opinion, published at
Washington, D. U., at $2.60 per year. A
contribution of ten cents apiece from
twenty-live pupils will pay for Public
Opiuion for one year, or five cents
apiece will pay it for six months. The
weekly issues can bo used as text-books
in the reading classes, and if preserved
and bound they make a valuable addi
tion to or nucleus for a Bchool library.

An exchange tells of a boy who grow

But in the course of events he saw one

“That, ray son, is a woman,” replied
the father, and the next words the
young mau uttered were: “Father, I
