Show It is extremely unfortunate that there eoeincd no other way than calling out the troops to preserve order in Colorado. The miners protest that they were, not armed, and that no violence of any sort was contemplated by them. On tho other hand, Governor Peabody evidently disbelieved their protestations, protesta-tions, and it must bo admitted that he has ample reason for his disbelief. The situation Is a trying one, and It Is hard to see the end of the complication If tho Governor means to keep the troops in the field until all threats are no moro heard. Mutual forbearance and due regard for the laws as well as for the personal rights of all those who have figured in the troubles ought to be the accepted doctrine now, so that peace, order, and Industry may have full sway. |
