The anarchy in Colorado is attract
ing the attention of the whole world.
Cablegrams from Europe give short
extracts from opinions! expressed
there. As Europe always fails to un
derstand our dual government, state
and national, the whole blame for
conditions rests upon the government
of the United S'tates, and everywhere
the greatest surprise is expressed.
Colorado has disgraced the nation.
The situation out there is not the af
fair of Colorado alone, -but of every
citizen of the Union, and that for
many reasons. The precedents estab
lished in the courts - there will be
quoted for years. Wherever in these
states a disturbance occurs, executives
will find excuse for despotism in the
acts of Colorado.
The ordinary citizen little Imows and
seldom or never reflects upon the ex
traordinary power of the courts and
what wonderful influence they exercise
in government. This whole difficulty
has come about primarily because of
the cowardice of the courts and in the
second place from the tendency of the
higher courts not to administer exact
justice to all parties, without fear or
favor, but to tinge their decision wi,th

undisguised sympathy for . capitalists
and employers.
When' the trouble first began, a dis
trict judge disgraced himself by hold
ing court when the room was filled
with armed soldiers with their belts
filled with cartridges. No such scene
as that has occurred since the dark
ages. It was a disgrace to the bench
and encouraged the military to assume
superiority over the civil power.
The last act of the courts was worse
than the first. The supreme court of
Colorado abdicated its functions and
transferred the power conferred on
courts by the state and national con
stitutions to the military power. That
is a revolution in our form of gov
ernment as marked as that when our
forefathers threw off the government
of kings and despots and established
a government as they thought by the
people. It is this abdication of power
conferred upon it by the constitution
by the supreme court of Colorado that
has astonished the whole world. The
members of that court have denied
that they have the power to try men
accused of crime and imprisoned, or
to inquire into the justice or consti
tutionality of acts of the military.
They have declared that the military
is superior to the civil power when
ever the governor is pleased to de
clare that there Is a state of insur
rection anywhere. They have declared
that the courts could not even insti
tute an investigation of the question.
The order of the governor is just the
same as an ukase Issued by the czar.
Lest there be a question in regard to
this decision we quote it;
First. "The governor is the com
mander-in-chief of the military forces
of the state, and he is by the constitu
tion empowered to call out the militia
to suppress insurrection." Second
"It must, therefore, become his duty
to determine as a fact when condi
tions exist in a given, locality which
demand that, in the discharge, of his
duty as chief executive of the state,
he shall employ the militia to suppress
it." Tnird. "This being true, the re
citals in the proclamation to the effect
that a state of insurrection existed in
the county of San Miguel cannot be
controverted." '
If that does not make a governor as
complete and absolute an autocrat as
the czar of Russia, no words can do
it. That the military so understand
it is proved by its acts.
The military have with force -of
arms arrested the civil officers lawful
ly and constitutionally elected, placed
a rope, with a hangman's noose at
their feet, presented to them a written
resignation and demanded that it be
signed. It has ordered a mine to be
closed where the proprietors were
peacefully carrying on their business
and around which there has been no
disorder or lawlessness of any kind
because the said nroDrietors had em
ployed some men who belonged to a
labor union aitnougn scores of other
men who did not belong to anv union
were employed In the same mine. It
has invaded the homes of people at
midnight, taken husbands and fathers
from their families and deported them
to a desert where there was no food
and no water and left them helpless on
the barren prairies. And the suDreme
court of Colorado says that there Is
no relief In law for the men who hav
suffered these wrongs, and that the
orders of the governor under which
these things are done "cannot be con
troverted." The men so treated can
not appeal to the federal covernment
They cannot appeal to the courts
These conditions shall coutlnue just as
long as the governor chooses. He
sole arbiter. He is responsible to no
one. lie is an absolute ruler.
This state of affairs Is not a Colo
rado matter. It concerns every man
woman and child In American and In
directly every man. woman and chlh:
In the world. It la a precedent that
plutocracy will bo quick to follow ev
erywhere. If a governor of any one
or these 45 Ktatcs can at any time sua
pend. not only the writ of h alien cor
1i. but all constitutions and all laws,
It Is a very serious matter.

c nse to sell real estate to pay debts,
It appearing from the supplemental, petition
of said administrator, filed in this court and pre
sented to me, that said decedent died seized of
lots 7, 8, 9 10, 11 and 12 in block 41 in Dawson's
Addition, in the city of Lincoln, Lancaster
county, Nebraska, which real estate is liable to
be sold for the payment of the debts of said es
tate and costs: That by a clerical error said
lands were mlsdescrjbed in the original petition
herein as being sittiated in block 1 Instead of
41: That by the sale heretofore had in this
matter there was realized the sum of $2,350, and
that there still remains unpaid of the debts of
said estate the sum of 81416.68, besides the ex.
penseand cost of settling said estate, and of this
proceeding; and thai there is no property belong
ingto said estate out ol which to pay said debts
except said real estate above describ d; that cer
tified copies of the appointment of said admini
strator and oi his bond have been filed with his
petition in this court.
And it appearing is that is necessary to
sell said real estate or so much thereof as may
be sufficient for the payment of said debts;
thereupon It is
Ordered that all persons interested in said

CorniBh, Judge of said District court of Lan
caster county, at my chambers in the court
house In the citv of Lincoln in said county on
the 30th day of July, J904, at 10 o'clock a. m., to

IT IS FURTHER. ORDERED that a copy of
this Order shall be published four successive

militia captain with his men at his
heels could come walking up the
stairs, suppress the paper, put the edi
tor and the office force aboard a train
and land them all out on the alkali
deserts of Colorado. Or they might
confine tis all in a bull pen. That is
just what the militia under the orders
of Governor 1'eabody has done With
editors and papers in Colorado. It
may be put down as a fact, however,
that there would be some trouble get
ting this editor aboard of the cars. He
would not be as submissive as some of
the editors out In Colorado. Thr sum
of the whole matter is that the su
premo court of Colorado has con
ferred on the governor exactly the
game powtr that Is exercised ty the
czar of K inula. If the czar thinks
a man Is sedulous.- he k Imply genda
