It is fluctuating this week between (111 and 64 » cents, but the change will bood come. 1 Pueblo has au anti-cigurrette society 1 that is endeavorisg by moral suasion to check the miserable habit of cigarette 1 smoking. Tbs society has the best wishes of the best people. The chances are even that the United States senate will do President Cleveland's bidding in regard to pass ing the Wilson tariff bill. Grover’s star is again iu the ascendency. C'ARniDATRs for the various munici pal offices to be distributed iu this town next April are becoming very num erous. It is a free pitch in aud the lucky ones will win. Parly politics will cut a small figure. The benefits of the Bessemer stee works would he materially iucreased to the entire community if the labor were given to lacal workingmen. There is a very promineut ik connected with the possibilities of the works. The Colorado senate decided to act on the legislation of tho lower house with a vengeance and the way the tsrrible majority is murdering the bills is a caution. Senators Drake and Pryor have been L lost sight of in the senatorial cyclone. The miners of Cripple Crsck are holding out for an eight hour shift while the owners of the mines are equally determined that there shall he nine hour shifts. A number of the mines arc at present shut dowu until the miners coine to terms, which may not be before the scrubby mountain asp puts on its green mantle. Owing to the increased and extortion ate rates demanded by fire insurance companies, many citizens of Pueblo are discussing with commendable enterprise the advisability of organizing a local stock company, aud the efforts of the moving spirits are meeting with much assurance of good will and support. An increase of about one-thind ou the rate of insurance on all expiring pol ices has caused the people to rebel. Property owners aud merchants will welcome the organization of a local in surance company conducted on a safe and economical plan. There is now hope of an early ad journment of the state legislature. The senate saw no quicker way out of it than to break the deadlock and agree to legislate, nothing to be considered I except bills reported up from the lower* bouse. The senate minority and the R representatives were jubilant and shout- l ed for joy; but their merriment was of | short duration. With great huste and [ recklessness the determined majority f went at the bills and is now legislating i with a vengeance murdering them as | fast as they can get their bauds on them, and with a possible exception of one or two bills they will all fall under the terrible axe of the executioners. There is no mercy, no repentance. The mighty senators are there to do and they are doing. On Wednesday things got so lively in the senate chamber that the representatives quit business and went up stairs to witness the deadly work. They saw their work of a month destroyed in a moment The members were so mad they they couldn’t swear, so they just lauged and yelled “sie’em." Now perhaps the advockts of state roads and bridger and canals and what nots will pack their little kits and go home. A Dialogue. Johnny Justright—“Is this Super intendent Robinson?" Supt.

THE CITY COUNCIL. THE GAIfEWELL FIRE ALARM SYSTEM KNOCKED OUT. And a good knock out it was—Mayor Dempsey did the work The Pueblo St. Ry. Co. gets a franchise to the lake -And the Bullen Bridge Co. gets a reduction of s34o—Consolida tion ordinance read and election called for March 15—Other items of interest. There was an unusually large at -8 tendance of spectators at the city hall * Wednesday night, brought together by the report which had been circulated to the effect that there was to he a wordy y afar over the Gamewell fire alarm * affair. At a special meeting Saturday e night the council had decided to buy 1 the system at a cost of SI,BOO. but the mayor was not at that meetiug and when he learned of what had been done c he interposed a strong objection. 1 The first business of the meeting was 1 to entertain h<s objection. Among 8 other things Mayor Dempsey dcclurcd the action of the council very strange, said it looked suspicious, aud stated that it was illegal and that the action 1 of the special meeting in contracting for ' the system would not be binding on B him; he would Dot sign a warraut for * payment of the apparatus. neither would Treasurer Funk rash it. Bis opposition was effective, and the alder K men meditating ou the affair, uo tight > wun made. Aid. Panuelmker moved to “ have the minutes of the special tueet -1 ing stricken from the record. Attorney ‘ Leonard advised that the action of the council on that meeting be first re considered. This was done and Aid. t Puuuebaker’s motion carried without opposition. Marshal Shay reported five arrests 1 and Judge Darnell reported the dis- I position of all cases. Treasurer Funk ‘ reported that he had cash ou hand to the amount, of $1,768.43. Clerk John ston reported having received $1169.42 . for January. All reports received. The committee on annexation ceu -1 sisting of Fisher, Pannebaker aud Miles, reported having done nothing in i the premises ns they concluded that [ they lisd no power to act, and suggested r that the mayor call the election, t Concurred in. On motion of Aid. Miles it was de cided to purchase u cart and 300 feet ot - hose for No. 3 and move the apparatus of No. 3 to the north-western part of the city. Ordinance No. 80, granting right of way to the lake to the Pueblo City Ry. Co. whs placed on fiunl passage. Ordinance No. 81 relating to an nexation was read, the election being called for March 13. the date set by Pueblo. The committee on public works re ported fovorably on deducting $340 for 17 days delay to viaduct material in transportation, the city clerk giving it as his opinion that the bills of lading showed that many days delay. Re port concurred in. A special meeting was called for the following Friday night to pass the an nexation ordinance. I* Mayor Lou Strait of Pueblo was p present at the meeting and occupied a j) chair on the platform. TAKING A BRIGHT VIEW. How President J. C. Osgood Views The Situation. President J. C. Osgood of the Colo rado Fuel and Iron Co. was interviewed this week by a Denver News reporter concerning the plans and prospects of the company and gave the following gratifying information: "1 am satisfied that the bonds are provided for all right; only a few formalities remain to be observed. I consider that a most creditable thing for our state. “While the loan was decided to be necessary from the first talk of consoli dation nnd did not arise in the lea9t from the panic, yet, wheu I started operations in September last, there was a decided prejudice against us, pretty much everywhere. “What do we propose to do with the money? O, many things. It will go to increasing our plant and improving it up to date. In this way'we expect to enlarge our output materially and at the same time decrease the ratio of ex penses. This will enable us to make exceedingly tempting propositions to a large number of big; industries that now pay enormous freight bills to get their goods here, but which might just as well lie using our Colorado raw material and save their cash. Take tool steel, for (vxample, there's an im mense quantitj of that used here—not a bit but comas from the East at present. We’lL change (hat. Then there’s structural iron and any number of other items I. could mention.** A New Paper. “The Studewt at Work,” is the name of a new, neat and spicy right page little journal published by the students of the Central High school, vrlth May Reynolds, Owen O’Connor and Ctnland Rohm aa editors.

SOME FEATURES OF THE PAST WEEK. Indications that there is an upward tendency in iron circles—lt can’t come too soon. The improvement in the iron trade shown in increasing sales has continued the past week, aud there is u more general disposition to concede better ment. Prices, however, are just as low as in the week preceding. It may be that the hopes of sellers have some influence upon their judgment, hut the belief is expressed that some of the buying seen in the last ten days is the result of the convictiou that the depth of the market has been reached, and that the first signs of hardening prices may lie looked for very soon. It would be difficult to be too con servative in making any statement on the subject of prices, but there is ground somewhere on which the market will rest before any upward movement ensues, aud indications multiply that such a level has been reached. Pittsburg aud Eastern markets re port au increased tonnage iu the week just ended, both in raw and finished material. Pig iron has shown ouly slightly in creased inquriy, but iu soft steel billets Eastern inquiry has led to several good sized sales at Pittsburg, ranging from 1.000 to 4,000 tons. The price was iu the neighborhood of $16.60, but there is a report that $16.26 was touched iu one transaction. It is believed that billets arc lower in proportion tbsu other material, and that this depart ment of the market will be one of the flr9t to recover. Recent pig iron tran ■actions have included liberal buying by pipe foundries, cbiefiy in the East. Stove foundries show a trifle more activity, and car wheel iron has been in some demand, but only in car loads, as against round lots last year. Charcoal iron is being called for to a semewhat greater extent for malleable purposes, but 200 tons is a large sale. Productiou has been signally curtailed in charcoal grades, and any change in the market is likely to be in the direc tion of better prices. The jobbing foundry trade still waits for distinct sigus of improvement, and meantime buys in the long prevalent small lot way. Rolling mills and steel plants are struggling for work iu the same spirited way, aud the increasing consumption of their.product has uot yet begun to tell in anting the appetites of the price cutters. On the part of some authorities in the trade there is a disposition to think that some of the activity lately noted is due to the strengthening im pression that the Wilson bill can not pass the Senate in anything like the present form, and that with the income tax feature eliminated, there must he a substantial increase in duties in many lines; or that the present session at least will see uo change in the Me Kinley act —From the Iron Trade Re view. Another Obstacle. Another obstacle in the way of an nexation has presented itself to Aider man Barndoliar of Pusblo. He has dis covered that that section of the new law relating to consolidation wherein it is provided that in case of consolidation the property of the two towns becomes the common property of the joint town, would make it obligatory on north Pueblo to pay off the $335,000 of indebtedness on the water works, and then donate the system valued at SSOO, 000 to the consolidated city. This munificent gift the people of north Pueblo are not prepared to make, and so the seeds of consternation and op position are being sown north of the sluggish Kaw. Mr. Barudollar says he has the best legal advisers in the city at his hack and therefore he can be accepted as the oracle of the north side. Did His Master’s Bidding. In. Wednesday’s Press appeared a scurrilous letter over the name of George Grafton in which Supt. Robin son is defended from imputations of the Indicator. As a matter of course the fellow did uot write the letter. It is plainly the work of one of Mr. Robinson's Fridays, for part of it is written in the third person, the stupid writer forgetting that he was personaj tingUrafton; besides the letter has well known car-marks. Grafton is made a dupe through whom Mr. Robinson and his Fridays sling mud. and the Robinson Bros, come in for high praise. The man Grafton has shown himself to be a cringing wietch and a dupe and will be looked upon by bis fellow workmen with the contempt he deserves. Mi Grafton does not. deserve mercy, yet for the sake of his job the Indicator will withhold for publication absolute evidence that whnt it reported in the last ieeue is true. The man was jumped oa by Bupt. Robinson and compelled to make a statement concerning the | article under dtncusrien. Mr. Robin , non In n mighty small man to hold down mots* important porition.
