Tiir second annual meeting of the
State Association of County Assessors
will meet in Pueblo the 12 Inst to
discuss the uniformity of taxes through
out the stute.
Thb Denver trades assembly, a few
scattered miners and populists and an
alleged attorney from Del Norte have
commended Governor Waite for his
threat to convene the general assembly
in special session.
In spite of all the prayers, expostula
tions and threats of the best men
throughout the state the chances are
that Mr. Waite will call au extra session
of the stats legislature. What an im
position the old fossil is on the people
of tbs commonwealth!
(1y act of the late general assembly
in all cities of the second class the
attorney, marshal, clerk, police magis
trate and street commissioner, here
tofore appointive officers by the city
council, shall be elected by the people.
The treasurer shall be appointed by the
council as usual. The law will apply
to Bessemer at the uext election.
There arc about 7,000 people iu the
iron regions of Wisconsin and 12,000 in
Michigan who are actual!) freezing and
starving and are now being looked
after by the Btnte governments which
calculate on feeding them until March
1 st. This is a dreadful state of affairs
and an example of wbat the
business depression of the country is
leading to.
Congress met in regular session on
Wednesday. The democrats promise
three things, viz; to pass the tariff re
form bill, to repeal the federal elections
bill and to pass a bi metallic meaaure.
The wisdom of the first act is to be
known only by trial; the federal elec
tions bill should be repealed instanter,
and congress can do a great deal for
the good of financial legislation If it
will.
Already signs of disintegration are
setting in and such acknowledged lead
ers of the populists as Senator Peffer
and General Weaver are talking about
organizing a "national party” with a
platform long enough and broad
enough to hold all populists, silver re
publicans and silver democrats. It
won’t require a very big platform to
hold the proposed National party with
a big Nif the populists are to be the
nucleus round which the silver elements
of the old parties are to scintillate.
Tiie Orchard Grove Ditch and
Reservoir Co. has just been organized
and the scene of its operations will be
from six to eight miles below Pueblo
on the Arkansas river. The company
numbers twenty members who will at
once commence the digging of the
main ditch and expect to have it and
all the laterals completed early in the
spring. Henry Wilkie, Pueblo, is
president. Fred Florey, Pueblo, Is
treasurer and H. C. Miller, Bessemer,
is secretary 8. 8. Logan and- C. 8.
Smith, other members of the company
are also citizens of Bessemer.
Democracy is going to redeem its
pledges of tariff reform with a ven
genance. The free list will include all
sorts of things from iron ore and wool
down to binding twine and lemon juice.
It is intended to be a compensating
measure, aiding the consumer by mak
ing manufactured articles cheaper and
in turn aiding the manufacturer by
enabling him to make cheapar pur
chases of raw material. The first of
next March will inaugurate the change
and the country will know by ex
perience what advantages or dlsad
vantages they have been enjoying
under the great American system of
protection.
Somehow the "scheme” of Gov
ernor Waite which he is to disclose to
the miners’ convention at Salida next
Wednesday baa leaked oat. His
Highness must have been talking in hie
dreams. His plan is supposed to be
this: To evade the restrictions of the
constitution of the United States which
forbids the coining of money by any
state, the wise old man !e to have the
state buy up silver bullion, (home pro
duct only, of course) send It to Mexloo,
.have it coined into Mexican dollars and
eturned. Despising the insignificant
( Woe of 70 cents per ouaoe paid by the
’ qarkets of the world, the governor will
: pWbij authorise the payment of
filVper ounce and get n depreciated
Meki dollar in return I Greet scheme,
that\Oolomde has found Its Mooes.

BESSEMER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1893.
It msy seem un-American and a
harsh measure but it doesn't require a
statesman to see that the time is fast
approaching when foreign labor must
be excluded from this country. This
is tbs key to the return of prosperous
times.
Or course Mr. Carneige will lose
nothing by the big reduction ke made
in steel rails. His employes will lose
that and the railroad corporation will
be the beneficiaries. Carneige’s ad
vantage will come in when he freezes
out the smaller competitors and then up
goes the price of rails again.
The committee having in charge the
revision of the tariff has gone the full
length and believing that "competition
is the life of trade,” has recommended
that the commercial gates of this
country be thrown wide open. The
schedule will in all likelihood be ac
cepted iu toto by congress, the tariff for
revenue only protectionists believiug
in the spirit of the bill, while the
ultra protectionists will agree to a trial
just to prove their doctrine that
American manufacturers can not sur
vive unless protected by extremely
high tariffs.
Father O, Ryan, a Catholic priest of
Denver, made an eloquent address be
fore the board of charities of the
capital city a few nights ago and
thanked God that In these enlightened
times minister, rabbi, priest and layman
could meet on the broad platform of
charity and vie with one another in
friendly strife in doing good. In the
middle ages, he statd, Catholics persecu
ted Protestants and Protestants per
secuted Catholics. He was ashamed
for them and declared they were not
ciiristains! It is such sermons as this
hat make men better.
An echo of states rights and "sacesh”
comes from the balmy clime of Alabama
Two citizens of that state with an
itching desire to see Colorado stick a
pin in Uncle Bam have written Governor
Waite that they admire his gall in
defying the constitution of the United
States. They impart the valuable in
fer nation that where it is clearly the
duty of congress under the United
States constitution to carry . out a
a meaaure, and it failß to do so, then
any state has a right to legislate on
that subject to suit itself; and the
royal old patriarch in the gubernatorial
chair is highly pleased thereat.
TO GOVERNOR WAITE.
Terse Sayings of the Press for His
Excellency’s Scrap Book.
The cheap charlatanry of Governor
Waite is nauseous and humiliating.
Without shirking any of the responsi
bility that attaches for the work of the
News in aiding his election, it asket
what has Colorado done to have in
curred such an infliction?—Rocky
Mountain News.
Should "Old Bridles” call a special
session of the legislature it should be
the duty of every republican not to put
in an appearance. This would prevent
a quorum in the lower bouse, and those
who are silly enough to attend can re
turn home —Sunday Opinion.
If Gov. Waite shall persist in calling
an extra session in defiance of the al
most unanimous wish of the people of
the state, he is an even greater egotist
than he has been given credit fer.—
Rocky Ford Enterprise.
Everybody and the cook condemns
the governor’s calling an extra session,
and everybody ie greatly interested in
the subject becanse all fear the effect of
the call and are satisfied no good can
come of It and that much harm may.—
Alamosa Independent-Journal.
The governor has already done
enough to lower the credit of the stete
abroad without trying to have a stay
bill passed. He could serve the state
no better than by keeping his mouth
shut, and merely attending to the
necessary duties of his office until
relieved.—Walsenburg World.
If Governor Waite will agree to
resign his office at the request of all the
miner*, the fanners, the merchants and
other business, professional and labor
ing men in the staff, expressed in con
vention, then the call of a convention
for that purpose will be welcome
information to the people.—Pueblo
Press.
The state treasury has the mag
nificent earn of $1,900 In it, end Gov
ernor Waite wants the legislature to
meet and get that.—Springfield Herald.

WILL THEY DO IT?
The Miner's Convention to lie held tit
Halida Next Wednesday
Will the little band of sixty delegates
he led astray by Governor Waite?
An opportunity for them to cover
themselves with glory and win the
everlasting gratitude of the people
of the state—Their pecular po
sition.
Will the delegates to the miners’
convention to be held at Salida next
Wednesday, the 6 inst. obey the behest
of the obstreperous and obtuse old
governor aud agree to have him call a
special session of the legislature? Will
the miners of the twenty camps
designated in his "notice" hearken to
the governor’s insane advice and plunge
the state into deeper odium, or will
they not rather be guided by their own
good sense as well as by the earnest,
common sense arguments of every
loyal workingman, business man aud
professional man in the stute and ad
vise the governor to give up bis mad
notion?
"I promise,” says Governor Waite iu
bis proclamation, "to be present at
said convention, to explain fully the
measures of relief proposed for the
miners ot the state, and to abide by the
decision of the convention.”
Perhaps never in any state were the
workingmen in any one particular pur
suit placed in so peculiar and so im
portant a position. No one shall know
the plan by which the governor expects
to restore good times until he discloses
them at the miners' convention. Not
knowing what measuies of relief be
will advise, and reduced to a state of
necessity, it is likely that many of the
delegates will go uninstructed, ami
herein lies the danger. Suffering from
pecuniary loss, many of them out of
einplo>ment and perhaps in actual
want, it is to be feared that too many
of the delegates will be dazzled by the
chimerical offerings held out to them
and fellow a false light. The tempta
tion is great and it is possible that in
the enthusiasm of the moment the
convention may so far forget itself as to
give countenance to the wild scheme
proposed, for wild it will be since it is
morally certain that it will be along the
line of restoring silver to its constitu ‘
tional value regardless of the action of
the United States congress. The idea
is preposterous. The whole state is
awaiting the action of the convention
with consuming anxiety and praying
that the little baud of sixty delegates
will have the wisdom aud fortitude to
withstand the blanisbments of Gov
ernor Waite, to advise him of the folly
of hia ways and to send him home, it is
to be hoped a wiser mau.
COLLECT THE PENALTY.
Where the City Council can Save the
People's Money.
The Bullen Bridge Co. will present
a bill at the next meeting of .the city
council for $8,500, the remainder due
them on the viaduct. According to the
contract, however, they were to have
completed the viaduct October 22nd,
and here they are just finishing it up
at this lime, forty days late. The
penalty provided in the contract for
delay is S2O per day, which new
amounts to the princely sum of SBOO.
That portion of the money for the bonds
is in the bands of City Treasurer Funk,
and of course the council will deduct
the penalty of SBOO from the amount
coming to the Bullens.
The Bullens have played horse with
the town for a year and a half, de
priving the people of a safe crossing
over the railroad tracks and at the same
time paid interest on bonds the benefit
of which they were not receiving. All
eyes are now turned on the Cfty council
The contract is strong enough to hold
the Bullens for the penalty and iu the
name of justice, if not for retaliation let
the council collect it.
Their Duty is Plain.
Last week's Call contained the fol
lowing pertinent remarks relative to the
forfeit of the Bullen Bridge Co. as pro
vided for in the contract covering the
Northern avenue viaduct. The Call
can rest assured that the council iB
alert and and will put the Bullens in
the attitude of plaintiffs if they get the
forfeiture.
"Will the Bessemer city council have
the backbone to compel the Bullen
Bridge company to live up to their con
tract. and deduct the penalty foi non
fullment of agreement relative to the
Northern avenue viaduct? The Bes
semer aldennen are acting for the tax
payers in the premises and handling the
people’s money. If the Bullens have
not completed the work as they con
tracted to do, and agreed to a forfeit of
so much every day over a specified
time It is the duty of the aldennen to
see that the city gets her rights. The
duty of the gentlemen is very plain in
the premiers. ’’
