Colfax, a suburb of Denver downed
the annexation question ny a majority
of eighteen out of 150 votes.
TllKltK is something Bessemer needs
worse than annexation—it is somebody
who knows how to run the steel works
The Florence aud Cripple Creek ruil

the company back of it will make both
ends meet.
'lt is a conceded fact that all the
prophets are in the populist party.
They should have tramped the earth in
biblical times when people took more
stock in prophets.
Five hundred saloons in Cincinnati
have gnue out of business, and the
biggest blizzard known for years has
just swept over the Cherokee strip.
Won't somebody please lay the blame
to the Wilson tariff bill?
Tiikiik will be special legislation
euacted by all tbe civilized governments
of tbe world one of these times for tbe
especial benefit Of tbe red banded
anarchists. Just a lew more bomb
throwers, a few more cranks atteui|ding
the lives of wealthy men and the die
will be cast. They are deserving of no
mercy and they will reap the reward of
their labors surely and speedily.
The tunnel which carries the Colo
rado Midland Knilway through the
Rocky Mountains, at llagerman Puss
Colo., has just been completed. Tbe
tunnel is close upon two miles long, aud
it is bored through solid gray grauitc.
Its completion involved three years and
twenty day's work, each day contpriß
iug twenty working hours. The tun
nel is 10,890 feet above tbe sea level.—
.Scientific American.
And yet another French anurchist
has risen to the surface to observe that
society must down, and to emphasize
what he meant he exploded a bomb in
a cafe, killing or injuriug twenty-three
people. The fiend whose name is Leon
Breton said when captured that his
motive was also to avenge the death of
Vaillunt. Speedy execution is too good
for these miserable nuarclusts; they
should he compelled to work for a
term of years before losing their heads.
‘‘l am disgusted uuil ashamed that
Colorado should be imposed on in this
way,” indignantly cried Representative
Sweeney when the state autitor sent
word to the house that it must provide
the funds before he would issue war
rants to pay tbe members. You are
, inflated with too much self importance,
Mr. Sweeney, the house of repre
sentatives docs not constitute Colo
rado by a long slptt. Colorado feels
imposed on from altogether another
point of view.
Circulars are out announcing a meet
ing to be held in Pueblo tbs 28 inst for
the purpose of organizing a brand new
independent political organization to be
strictly free from contamination with
any of the threo predominant parties.
The usual “Whereas” paragraph Bets
forth the object by declaring that “The
time has come for organized labor to
act in its own behalf and in the behalf
of the overburdened taxpayers of the
city.” The proposed new party expects
to take an active part in the approach
ing municipal election.
State Auditor Goodykoontz braved
the anger of the house of repre
sentatives by refusing to issue warrants
to pay the members for doing nothing.
He sent a communication to the house
saying that he could find no law which
empowered him to issue warrants un
less there are funds not otherwise ap
propriated, and then the house must
designate on what fuud the warrants
are to be drawn. The solons grew very
wrothy thereat and administered a
great tongue thrashing to the doughty
auditor and returned the communica
tion to him. Stay with them, F. M
and earn your twenty-five hundred per
annum.
The house of representatives passed
a bill providing for the printing of
delinquent taxes at not more than 25
cents per inch nonpareil fer first in
sertion and 15 cents per inch for each
subsequent. The senate amended the
bill by making the price 85 and 20
cents, and then passed it. This ie lees
than one half the former price, the
delinquent tax list heretofore being
printed at regular legal rates of 75 and
40 cents. It is not recorded anywhere

BESSEMER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17,1894.
IT IS ONLY A DREAM.
AND YET DREAMS OFTEN COME
TRUE.
What a steel worker who has just re
turned from the mountains related
in this office a few evenings ago
He saw the crack of coming doom
and the return of bettei times.
"You muy think I’m rather queer,
partner, to run iu on you this way with
out even so much as knocking on the
door,” he said, as he sat down iu the
only good chair iu the office and un
ceremoniously piled his big feet upon
the papers scattered about on the desk,
thinking perhaps that there wus a lack
of paper weights. He was a big, broad
shouldered fellow, shabbily dressed,
though be wore a big diamond pin
which wus so bright that it would make
you sneeze to look at it. 11 is manner
was about a? uncouth as his attire,
though there was a good humored air
about him, which, taken with bis frauk
address aud honest voice made one
rather like him.
“I want to tell you about a little
dream 1 bad tbe other night,” he went
on to say, “aud if you want to kind of
make it public it will be all O. K. with
me. I'm a steel worker, or rather I
was a steel worker in the good old days
gone by. but like lots of other gbod
men I was driven out by Tiddlede
Winks Robinson and took to tbe bills
to prospect.
"I see you've got your eye ou this big
shirt stud." be said, fondly gaziug at
the diamond. “Well, you eau't have
it for nothing. 1 traded my lights iu
last summer's diggens thing aud
I guess I got cheated, but I told-the
boys 1 would come back wearing dia
monds, and here I am.
“Well, aB I was a going to say. I bad
a dream ab«ul the big steel works the
other night as I lay in my lonesome
miners's cabin. I’d been readin the
papers how the works had started up
and how the management w»s a think
ing of running up a lot of greasers from
Mex ico to make up the crowd necessary
to run the thing. I lay down bound to
sturt the next morning. Iu my dream
I started May Ist next. That's ahead
of the bounds, but that's when I started
and although it seems strange we some
times foresee thiugs in our slumbers.
“I came over tbe prairie on foot and
it was dusk when I struck the town.
There was a mighty big hullaballoo
raised for some reason and 1 see a great
pile of dry goods boxes stacked in the
street and bucket after bucket of oil
was thrown on. Thinks I. what's up?
Suppose they know I'm a comin? But
just then the crowd yelled as the match
was touched to the pile aud the biggest
bouflre I ever see in all my boru days
roared and flamed and lit the whole
country; all Pueblo came up to see
what was up. Pretty soon the man got
on a barrel which had been turned up
to answer for a platform, anil the first
thing he said was, 'This day, Bessemer,
hast thou been surely blest for Super
intendent Robinson is fired.’ And then
while pandemonium was turned loose I
came to myself and saw through the
whole business.
“The oppressor of ineu's rights was
bounced aud Bessemer was once more
tbe happiest town in all Colorado's fair
lund, and there promised to be mere
activity and success than ever. 1 saw
scores of old timers coming in from all
directions. They suddenly appeared as
if by magic and all shouted for joy.
“Just then the great crowd surged to
tbe right as four into cainc up the street
A dozen chaps picked one of them up
und giving three hurrahs and a tiger,
carried him around on their shoulders
introducing him as the uew superin
tendent of the steel woiks. Iu (train
ing my ear to catch his name I woke up.
aud without finding out who it was my
dream came to an end."
Aud tbe man from dreamland lit his
eob pipe, aud with a “good night,
partner,” he was gone.
The annexation questiou is in such
shape just now that it is hardly open
for discussion. Mayor Strait of Pueblo
has refused to Issue the required proc
lamation aud has bceu mandamused by
friends of annexation to be compelled
to issue it. The thing is now pending
in the district court, the point at issue
resting on the validity of tho Wicks
bill which became a law by the grace of
the General Assembly of 1802-8.
Tiie Wilson tariff bill has already
done great injury to wage earners in
this, that it has furnished a convenient
excuse for manufacturers and corpora
tions to raise a great outcry and hul
laballoo about foreign competition and
that the price of labor must be reduced
or business must cease. It is made the
scapegoat to carry all tho secret plot
tings of beet sugar manufacturers, the
wily owners of woolen mills, stsel and
iron mills and the like against their
employes. The pitiable sum of $1.30
for twelve hours work in the steel
works at this place is laid largely to
the Wilson bill by the schemers who
run the plant, when in fact the bill has
no more bearing on the qneetlen at this
time than the laws of Henolnla have on
the go verm meat of Texas. The op

THE MAYOR'S VETO.
STRANGLING THE CONSOLIDA
TION SCHEME.
Backed by John Waldron, Mayor
Straight of Pueblo defies the city
council and refuses to sign the
ordinance —Will it ever come to a
vote?
Bessemer, through its council has so
far complied with all requirements nec
essary to call an election on the ques
tion of annexation to oblige tbe
citizens who petitioned for an election,
leaving it to the people to settle tbe
dispute at the polls. This wus done
although Mayor Dempsey und umu
jority of tbe aldermen are known to be
opposed to annexation. But tbe prob
lem is meeting with determined ojtpos
tiou in certain quarters iu Pueblo and
it is very doubtful if the thing will
ever come to au open issue.
There was war in tbe Pueblo council
Mouduy when the ordiuaucc relating to
annexation was brought up for final
passage. Mayor Strait promptly vetoed
it and the council passed it over his
veto by a two-thirds majority. The
mayor then declared that he would not
issue the necessary proclamation, and
the council at once instructed the city
attorney to commence mandamus pro -
ceedings against him compelling him to
issue the proclamation, and the case is
■ow pending in the courts.
Mayor Strait while decluring him
self to be in favor of auuexation pro
fesses to be guided wholly by the belief
that the law of 1893 providing for con
solidatiou of contiguous towns or cities
is illegal, and that an election held
under it would not be valid, and tbe
city of Pueblo would be out $2,000
election expenses and get uotbiug iu
return but experience. He arrives at
this conclusion from a written opinion
of John Waldron which is volumiuouß
and was read at the meeting of the
council. Attorney Waldron’s ability is
conceded by all. and he sums up the
whole problem, predicating his argu
ments from these two questions:
“Firstly, can it be said as a matter
of law that the city council possesses
the implied power to supply by
ordinance these omissions in the
statute? and
Second, conceding that the legislature
by implication has clothed the city
council with such power, can the latter
lawfully exercise such implied delega
tion of legislative authority con
sistent with the provisions of the con
stitution of this state?”
The distinguished lawyer answers
both of these questions iu the negative,
aud tbe mayor and four aldermeu stand
with him. As matters now stand the
wheels of consolidation are at a stand
still so far as Bessemer is concerned.
Pueblo will first have to fight it out in
the courts before the question is open
for a square issue.
Gold Nearer Home.
F. M. Berry, at his ranch uear Beulah,
this county is mining and washing out
gold, aud we understand that it is pay
ing. Gradually the golden circle is
extending to Pueblo, and no doubt
within the year miners will find plenty
ot gold iu and nml about this city. It
is here. Who is going to find it.—
Pueblo Sunday Opinion.
Danger in Steel Works.
At the Homestead steel works for
the year eudiug Dec., 10, 1893, 1,240
men were injured, an averege of 103
each mouth. Nine were killed, twenty
six had fingers amputated; oue lost a
leg and one an arm. This record is
said to compare well with other large
establishments, being comparatively a
small number. In many cases tbe
njuries were slight.—lron Trade Re
view.
A Hint on the Spring Elections.
To rid the state of the vampires who
follow the dictum of Governor Waite it
will be necessary to defeat any attempt
at Populist control. Populism based
on the Omaha platform, populism as
worked in Kansas, populism as exhib
ited in Colorado has been one series of
ruinous legislation and demoralized
economy. Populism is but another
term for socialism and the latter heresy
is a blight on any country, state or
municipality. Populism should he
blotted out of Colorado politics this
year.—Pueblo Journal
To Reduce Expenses.
Tne city council has decided to cu t
down tbe expense connected with the
South Pueblo Water company. and
with that end in view the fire and
water committee is investigating the
number of hydrants that can be dis
pensed with and will report at the
meeting of the couucil next Wednesday
night. The town Is bound by contract
to pay for fifty hydrants .or fire plugs
the sum of $250 per month, but It .is
claimed there are a number of hydrants
over and above this number in out-of -
the way places which have never been
used, and they will probably be done
away with.
