WOLCOTT OF COLORADO.

A “Redeemer" Who Needs Advertising in the Reform I’ress. Denver Road. We desire to '-all the attention of the secretary of 'lie National Reform 1 Press Assoc' '.fion that he has overlooked somethin:’. We refer to tbe Chicago Tin. v vditorial on the re-elec-lion of E. (). V .xcott to the United fk.it93 senate. Here it is: The triumph of republicanism in Colorado has k.> ‘night the usual result of republican vli > l ies; a surrender to the corporation'; o usts and monopolies of the lav ;> C 1.,; power of the nation. The battle c y •’ Colorado republicans in the •-t c : paiirn was “Redeem the State.” (>n t • t issue they won, : id they have be- toe process of re- <■ M piur by re o .1 g Edward Oliver Y.'ulectt to a six y.:-.rs’ term in. the f’ r ii ■! States seratc. It seems almost blasphemy to speak ot a “redeemer” i.atl Ed Wolcott in ti e same sentence, fir the hitter is the antithesis of the f n-mer. He represents all and singular t .e very elements and conditions from j which tbe people seek redemption. A few days previous to Walcott’s un- ! u-iirnous inuorsement by the republic- j ; caucus some satirist Introduced in 1 -j legislature a resolution declaring taut no person should be sent to the United States senate from Colorado who will not pledge himself to sever all - r'Actions with corporations and trusts.” Nothing has since been heard of that re.iul.akm tiirough the press, but if the peasant legislature is anything like the one that elected Mr. Wolcott six years ago, it is fair to presume that some personal A'iend of the senator’s stoic it. I Edward 0. Wolcott is not only a corporation lawyer and representative, but he is of, by and with the trusts. He is ..a integral part and fractional exponent of every big monopoly in Colorado. From the corporations and trusts he receives his princely income, and in turn he is as watchful of their interests as an Argus and as faithful as I'ides herself. A bat in the sunlight is not blinder than is Senator Wolcott to cue public weal when the interests of corporations and trusts are concerned. Ho is the general counsel of the Denver & Rio Grande railway, as well as a director of the company. He is the Colorado representative of the Burlington & Missouri railway and the Missouri Paci.’ic, which later is the eastern connection of the Rio Grande. He is also the general cousnel and moving spirit of the Denver City Cable Railway company. Whether or not he is regularly retained by any other railroad corporat on is not generally known, but every railroad entering the state regards him as a friend. The number of mining corporations, many of which monopolies growing out of the spoliation of ind! iclual claim owners, represented by Senator Wolcott is approximate to the m iii. er of the state. . n the interest of these corporations p d monopolies Edward 0. Wolcott betas e be dominating spirit of political rings in ti.j republican party ot Colorado, that he has never hesitated to der - uc-h the franchise, banki apt th° state tr asury, and enact laws that place* t-.-j people at the mercy of corporation rule. Indeed, bo shameless was the profligacy and crminality of the henchmen of Senator Wolcott that the legislature which first elected him to the senate actually carried away the furniture and supplies in the legislative hall v- hen it adjourned. It was the same legislature which awarded contracts to Senator 'Wolcott’s active workers for many thousands of dollars more than .mue received, the warrants for which wt re sold to eastern men und repudi-at.-d by the state. The public press did .* *: hesitate to stiginati/.e member* of that legislature as thieves and robbers, h - . . tit elected uot to represent the people but to vote for Ed Wolcoti lor United States senator. 'iae senator’s enamels <n Colorado eri that it cost SISO,QOb to elect the republican ticket in Colorado last November. This could <>nly refer to what It cost the corporations, for the bitter test to the state from being represented it tbe upper bouse of congress by a list and railroad attorney cunhot be counted in dollars and cent 3.

enthroned republicans of Colorado, the v/ork of redemption in that singularly unfortunate commonwealth will undoubtedly go bravely on. Wc desire to add that it is the duty of the association to run it through he ready print papers in the R. P. A. and give it the widest possible circulation, for nothing truer was ever written. It is a stem winder.

SHOT TO KILL.

Tlie Iso of Militia an Outrage Against Government. “Shot to Kill!” is the headline in large black letters of the report in the Courier-Journal of Brooklyn strike. “Shot to Kill!” Think of it,brother, think of it, American! Think of it lover of freedom! “Shot to Kill!" Who “shot?” The rfite militia of New York, called to protect a millionaire corporation in his dcspoilaUon of labor. “Shot to Kill” whom? Why, the rough laboring men of Brooklyn who rebelled against pauper wages; who dared demand the rights of men—a fair return for their labor. “Shot to Kill!” The germs of plutocracy against the poor. Riots are deplorable; strikes are bad; but there exists the inalienable right of self-protection which even the presence of bayonets cannot crush. The newspaper report says: The strikers have made a proposal to arbitrate, which, however, was rejected. Like Pullman, the Brooklyn magnates “have nothing to arbitrate.” They will shoot it out! Backed by the military they will crush the spirit of the strikers. Backeu by that more devilish enemy of men than even the bayonet, hunger, they will starve their victory into submis sion. They will “Shoot to Kill!” in more ways than one. In the meantime the great American Eagle flops her wings and shrieks “Liberty” over a country where one class of people may legally murder another: Every petty tyrant who wishes to rob his employes by coercing them into accepting lower wages falls back upon the militia as his instrument of oppression. This use of the militia is an outrage and mockery of our republican institu tions. “Whenever free men unsheathe the sword it should be to strike for liberty and not for despotism or to uphold priv ileged monopolies in the oppression o; the pocr.” "V et the militia at the command o monopoly "shoot to kill!” It is in New York to-day; some where else to-morow. Perhaps, raade: it may be some day be you at whon the militia will ’shoot to kill!”—Ky Populist.

Eighty Million Dollars Stolen.

When a man owns a dollar he give a dollar's worth or skill or genius i. exchange for it. Unless he steals it or defrauds tti a arid of it, lie gives back for eve; collar he takes at least a doll;u worth. No one can denv tnat this is the k . cl prosperity.

Why Had Christ to Die.

|. , First, that the purpose of God should be* fulfilled, man to have eternal life and reign over all the earth, to have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, and over everything that creepeth on the earth and over all the earth. [Titus, Ist ch., 2d v.] Read it. Second. Now God’s command to multiply and replenish the fearth and subdue it, and have dominion over all the earth, was made to Adam. So God gave Adam u law, and the violation of it was death. And Adam broke the law and God passed Adam under the sentence of death, and gave his word to Mother Eve, that her seed should crush the serpant’s head. Now’4ooo years afterwards Christ was born, the one that is to destroy the devil and his works, or in other words to undo what the first Adam had done, aud to do the things God commanded Adam to do, that is to subdue the earth and reign from the rivers unto the end of the earth as God said to the first Adam, have dominion over all the earth.

Why has Chist to die in order to accomplish that work? First, to undo what the trans gression of God's command had brought on the family of Adam by throwing them all in the death state, therefore Christ has to satisfy God which is death, or all will have to remain in death. Now Christ gave himself a ransom for all. What is a ransom? It means a price paid to redeem from captivity or punish ment; something which has been paid for something which has been forfeited; and the one is considered to be the equivalent of the other. Here another question arises, what is forfeited? To answer this question, we revert to the cradle of our race. Adam, we are told, was the son of God. He had no human father. He derived his life direct from its source. He was made in the image of God, and to him was given dominion over all the earth and all that it contained. Head of the human 1 ace and lord of its home, he was pronounced by the highest authority very good. He was placed under law. It was plain and positive. He broke that law and immediately came under its penalty, death. The life thus forfeited was not his own individual life only, but being the head of the race, the life of the entire race was forfeited in him. Human life then being the forfeit and its extent universal, what of the ransom? It was equal to the forfeit. Human life, and its extent universal, every particular in which Adam was different from his progeny. Jesus was his equal. He was born to tlie virgin, son of God, image of God, lord of earth, federal head, and holy from his mother’s womb. Here analogy between the two Adams seems to end. When tempted the first Adam fell, and involved all mankind in his degradation and punishment. When tempted the last Adam resisted unto death, even the death of the cross, and involved all mankind in righteousness and self sacrifice.

The most unimpeachable testimony was given to his sonlessness. He was holy, harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners, and without spot, he offer eel himself to Gop. This was given life for life, human life for human life. This was paying an equivalent price. Justice demanded this. It demanded no more. It could accept no less. For this purpose he took part ot flesh and blood and the demands of j ustice w cu. 1 mil y in t> t wil e n the no as ted i eatli. Sotin have s ■ <i, hew cun tin death o one i tie equivalent to tin deat 1 every mat,? Wo ma\ ?sk a i n r question, how cat the si .me man lie cquivalen* to the ; o'' every man? The answer > ene quest'on will lx the ans ■■ to tie other. W< know of opo wav in which these qui ■ <'r»can be answered These tw ) men. Adam and Jesus were equa 1 They were fed cal heads, and the only two men who ever held th it position. Through the sin of one death fell upon the entire race, and through the death of the other that dread penalty was exhausted. By the one act the old Adamic account was opened, and by the other that account was closed. The account now stands square, the engagement on the one side being equal to the liabilities on the other. As the ransom of man has been paid, why do the living continue to die, and the dead remain dead? Because the resurrection hour has not come yet. Look at the sth chapter of John, 28-29 verses. Jesus said. Marvel rot at this, for the hour cometh

when all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice and shall come forth, they that have done good unto the resurrection of life, and they that have done ill unto the resurrection of judgment. Christ says, I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death; 0, death I will be thy plague; O, grave I will be thy destruction. Seeing that Christ | died a ransom for man, how was it he did not retnain dead? Because God had said by the profit David that his soul should not be left in hell or the grave, nor his body to see corruption. God’s word, which is spirit and is life. The life forfeited was human life, the life given in ransom was the same.

You see if man was not redeemed and brought out of the death state, death would be the end of the human race. Now, in order to open the door and bring them out of death the penalty must be paid which is death. That is the reason Christ had to die to bring out his bride. He must of necessity go into the death state in order to open the door and bring all out with life. There is no other way to get out of death than by Christ the life giver. He only can open the door of death and bring out his own bride. For this reason we are baptized in his name and rise out of our watery graves and live a new life. Then w’e can claim Christ’s promise that he will raise us up the last day and give us eternal life, that which God promised before the world began. They that are not in Christ will get only their mortal or Adamic life. That is what was forfeited in Adam. So Christ did not redeem eternal life, but adamic life, Christ’s gift to all rfien. But eternal life is the gift of God through the Lord Jesus Christ So Christ redeems all both good and bad. Oh, hear Christ when he comes to 1 1 is sin cursed earth. Jesus said in the volume of the book it is written of me to do thy will, O God. God’s will given to Mother Eve that her seed should crush the serpent’s head or in other words destroy the devil and his works. It is God s will for Christ to suffer, and to pour out his life or soul unto death, that his soul should be made an offering for sin. Then said he, “Lo, I come to do thy will, oh God.” Hear Christ when he prays to his father and asks if it be possible, let this cup pass. Then says, ’•Thy will, not mine be done.” Then is Christ overcome, and '•at down on his father’s throne, by submission to God’s will, and doing his will as God commanded him to do, and said, “I know thy will is everlasting life.” Therefore, Christ must die in order to do God's will, and says he Knows God’s will is everlasting ife, so it is God’s will that all ? ‘y. in or^er to have everlastiig life. God says, “He that oelieveth and is baptized shall e saved. H. M. Babb.

What I Would Do.

The following essay was writ ten by a nine-year-old girl student, and is so full of thoughtful suggestions mingled with childish ambitions, that the teacher, D. H. Hamilton, has kindly sent it to the Pilot for publication. Here it is without the change of a letter or mark of punctuation. WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WERE RICH. If I were rich, I would go to school, and give myself as good an education as I was capable of containing. I would build real castles instoab nf imaginary ones, as I now J .. i ’»>uld have a train of servj>-"i . f my command. To wait on un; wherever I went. I would dress in silk, and satin, I would travel from one country to another, till I knew the whole world like a book. I would have my papa president, my mama should be queen, and while enjoying all these good times, I would not forget the poor, which we have all over our land. I would build homes for the poor orphans, and a school I would have, whicli would be free for ever one. And my little kinder gardens should be found all over the land. But my greatest joy would be at Christmas times. When I would hunt up all the little folks whose parents were to poor to buy them presents, I would make them think that Santa claus came down the chimney for sure and such dinners would make them wish thai Christmas would come every day in the year.

The Coat Was Appreciated.

When the goods were recently shipped to the sufferers of drouth stricked Nebraska, W. L. Wishrad put in a good coat, and put a letter in one of the pockets, addressed to the one who should receive the garment, asking for information concerning the * condition of affairs there. The following extracts are from a man 80 years old, who expresses his gratitude for the coat. “I am in the middle of the state, east and west, and have never seen anything to compare with the present conditions. We have raised no grain, or nearly none; corn wont make a bushel per acre; small grain no better; hay none; no vegetables; stock dead on many farms, and the worst yet to come. I shall enter ray eightieth year the 18th of this month, still have a little grub, and in as good condition as most except my age. If any one sees fit to send us something

all right.

Went Coasting in a Wagon.

Wheatfield, Feb. 20. Bora, to the wife of Hannon Clark last Saturday, a girl. Bp by and mother doing well. The M. E. society of this place have purchased a lot in the west part of town on which to build a church. Lumber is being hauled and work commenced immediately Wm. Turner's baby, which has been quite sick is a great deal better, but Mrs. Turner, who is very ill, is but very little better at this writing. Jake Hopper, fireman on No. 20. is quite sick. Art Moon is filling his place. Douglas Clark came very rear loosing his life last week, while helping to move a building for P. E. Davis, by becoming entangled in the ropes in front of the building. He was knocked down and run over by the horse, but not seriously hurt. We understand a party of young folks, who attended church at Dew Drop last Sunday night, while on their way home proposed a skating party, so arriving at the top of a large hill concluded to slide down again. This seemed very amusfng, but would it not be better to take a sled next time and not a lumber wagon.
