The Great State of Colorado.

Boston Evening Transcript. The puissant State of Colorado was admitted into the Union in 1876. Its population in 1890 wad 412,198. The assessed valuation of the property in the State in 1890 was $220,544,061: its mining property was valued at $5,727,657; railroad property at $34,411,921. The silver bullion product of the State in 1889 was $19,341,847. These figures are well enough to remember when a little back borough like Colorado essays to rule or ruin the Union. Any one of a dozen cities scattered from East to West outweighs the whole State of Colorado in population, in capital and in every material, moral and political consideration, except, indeed, that it has two United States Senators, like several of its near neighbor States.
