Tuesday, April 3rd will be election
day.
The Independent labor horse is
being lightly ridden by several political
straddlers.
"We met Bessemer and she is ours,”
says the Chlefain. Those words are
few but significant.
Highlands, a suburb of Denver had
an election on consolidation the 18th
and defeated the proposition by a
majority of 222 out of 768 votes
Of course the Independent labor
party is not an off-shoot of the pop
ulist party, and yet seven of the nine
nominees for alderman are of that
persuasion.
Bkhhkmer had to annex to some
thing. Whether it was to Pueblo,
Overton or the tail end a comet made
no difference; anything would do just
so it was to annex.
Bkshemkh and Pueblo can not be
said to have absolutely consolidated
until the appeal case in the supreme
court is settled. It is possible that
there will be a revelation.
The number of women who have
registered and will be entitled to vote
in the city election is about 3,500.
This is a very important factor In
politics and its advent is greatly feared
by the saloon element.
The Indicator pointed out the error
of consolidation, opposed the measure,
is proud of it and would do so again
under the same circumstances. This
for the benefit of the men who wielded
the terrible ■ political club in this
bailiwick election day.
Bessemer will retain the name of
Bessemer even though the supreme
court does not sustain the case of ap
peal to Bet aside the election of last
Tuesday. It will always be called by
that name to distinguish it from the
rest of Pueblo, and hence the name of
this paper shall remain as it is, Tue
Bessemer Indicator.
The civil war in Brazil is as good as
over and the rebels are vanquished. It
is difficult to tell which side was in the
right, but on the whole the moral in
fluencc of this country was on the side
of the Peixoto government and will re
main so if President Peixoto treats the
fallen belligerants with clemency. If
not the people of the United States
will give him the shake.
Well, the annex election is over and
the "anti’s were ingloriously scooped.
Mow that the thing is done let all pull
together for the good of Bessemer as a
suburb and make every effort for its
success. The factional tights will, of
course, go serenely on but there will
come times when a pull together can
be of much benefit to the community.
Embrace all such opportunities.
Consolidation will not be absolute
until the legality of the election is
settled in the courts. F. J. Downen,
through his attorneys Waldron &
Devine has appealed the case to the
supreme court and a decision will be
arrived at before the April election.
John Waldron will take the matter up
next week and will vigorously prose
cute it, he hopes, to a successful end.
It is noticeable that a north side ele
ment have not yielded to defeat by any
means, but have great expectations of
winning their point. Stranger things
have happened than the setting aside
of the resnlt of the special election by
the supreme court.
Women’s Republican Club.
A number of the women of Bes
semer met at the Dempsey-Langdon hall
Tueaday and organized a republican
club of which Mrs. M. Marble was
male president, Miss Alice Rickabangh
secretary, Miss Mary Little correspond
ing secretary, and Miss Alice Chase
treasurer. The club has appointed a
committee to solicit membership and
will meet every Friday at sama place
at 9:80 p. m.

BESSEMER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 17,1894.
THE TRUTH OF IT.
Political Rows Downed Bessemer at
the Polls.
Political animus was ut the bottom of
the defeat of the auti-consolidntionista
Tuesday last in Bessemer. Perhaps no
other town in Colorado has been cursed
with such a dog eat-dog political policy
as has charsctcii/.cd the man'pulation
of the affairs of the town for years.
Selfishness, hate and revenge have al
ways run rampant over the city and the
outs wer3 ever on the alert to down the
ins. No matter what party had con
trol of the affairs of the town, it was
the object of spite' ami scorn and
denominated the gang, aud the cry was,
the gang must go.
The present council and city officials
were no exception, and the council
particularly came in for a vast amount
of berating. Of the officers of the
town there was not much said. But no
matter how unjust the accusations, it
can not be denied that the spite of de
feated aspirants for political honors,
the animus of those who were routed
and the hate of almost the entire
western portion of the town which was
directed against the council, were the
main factors which contributed to the
defeat of the town. It was not the
advantage which people expect to gain
by annexation which caused them to
vote as they did, for they must know
in their hearts that uo advantage will
be gained, but they were actuated
largely by a desire to harm somebody,
to throw a fire brand and let it burn
whom it would.
The nourishing suburbs of Denver,
Highlands and Colfax, downed an
nexation by big majorities because
they feared the power of the large city.
They eliminated their family rows from
the conflict and voted for what they
believed to be for the best interests of
all concerned. Politics of the most
rank and bitter quality had all to do
with the election in Bessemer and the
•‘city hall gang" had to go. It went.
Dropped Their Feathers.
It is a fact well known to close ob
servers that many of the friends of
anti-consolidation lay down at the laat
moment and showed no fight at all.
The sudden change was obvious at the
polls, and the dodging was noticeable
to Puebloites who came up to see how
things were going. The Journal
caught on and commented on their
action as follows:
"Friends of consolidation were do
ing quiet but effective work, while for
some reason some of those who had i
radically opposed a union of the two
cities up to a day or two ago, could not
be found. Just what caused their sud
den change of heart is not known, al
though it is hinted that the leaders hav
ing political aspirations feared the
vengeance of the consolidationints in
time to come should the opposition
prevail."
SHOULD BE RETAINED.
Keep the Present Police Force on Duty.
Now that a new order of things will
be instituted on account of consolida
tion it is opportune to say a word in
behalf of the police force of the tewn
and urge upon the council of Pueblo
the desire of the people in this connec
tion.
Through the efforts of the police
force more than to any ather cause can
be attributed the freedom of the town
from tramps, hold-ups, burglars, toughs
and the like. The criminal record of
the town is something of which every
citizen can be proud. Quiet has pre
vailed and there has been no loss by
theft for a long time. Not a store has
been tapped for over a year and a
half, and much credit must be given
the police.
Marshal Shay does not aspire for
recognition, but the four police, i e
E. P. Price, Thomas James M. F.
Dempsey and William Brennan would
accept a re-appointment, and hot ouly
would the favor be just but it would
please a big majority of the people.
They are conscientious, able officers
and it is to be hoped that they will
continue to wear the star.

FAITH THAT CURES.
OmMmm of Patlaata ta a Pb/alolaa*
Ability Oftoa Do«m«i Death.
••You may be surprised when I tell
you that 1 believe In faith cures,”
said a Pittsburg doctor. "1 don't
belittle the faith or confidence that
my patients have in me. It Is a
great help in getting beneficial re
sults from the administration of ined
lolne. In fact, faith or confidence la
requisite to accomplish great cures.
It matters not whether it be faith in
God, faith in the doctor, or faith in
the medicine prescribed, the effect is
just the same. I attribute my great
success to the confidence which I
seem to Inspire Into the people of a
house as soon as I enter it.
••As an example of this, not long
ago a patient of mine was visiting in
C veland. She became very sick
while there and beseeched her hus
band to send forme. I received tel
egram after telegram to come, and
even had a special train offered me,
but I did not think it would be proper
to neglect my patients here, having
a number of serious caBOB, for the
length of time it would require me
to go to Cleveland. After much so
licitation, 1 finally agreed to go. Ar
riving at Cleveland. I found that I
had to go twelve miles into the sub
urbs. where I was met at the station
by the doctor in attendance, who had
given tho patient up. I saw at once
he was rattled, and talked over the
case with him until 1 bad got to the
house. There I was met by the sor
rowing husband, with tears in his
eyes, wringing his hands, and saying
in a hushed, broken voice—, Oh, doc
tor, you are too late. Bhe is nearly
gone. If you had only come sooner,
doctor, you could have saved my
wife. She has not spoken for four
hours, and is failing rapidly.”
"I was ushered into the room
where the patient lay and saw she
was extremely low. I walked over
to the bed and placed my hand upon
her forehead. It was cold. The
iciness of death could already be
felt, but I did not lose heart. I
turned to the crowd of sorrowing
watchers and said: ‘Why, she’s not
gone yet by any means. ’ I had
hardiy uttered the words before the
eyes of the patient slowiy opened,
and looking up at me in a mournful
way, she raised her hands and ex
claimed in a dramatic manner,
‘Saved!’ It was not fifteen minutes
before the pulse began to be stronger
and the patient rapidly improved
under the administration of medicine
until the morning, when I was able
to return to Pittsburg.
"She is living yet. a strong, healthy
woman. That woman had simply
made up her mind that she was going
to dlo unless I came on there. The
Impression was so Intense that It had
an actual effect upon her condition,
and it la probable that the result
would have been death had she not
been able to expel the impression of
death by the stringer suggestion of
life which came when I arrived
through her confidence in me.”
Charlotte Corday’s Last Portrait.
| A most interesting anecdote of
Charlotte Corday has seen the light,
apropos of the centenary of Marat’s
execution. While Charlotte was on
her trial she saw an artist sketching
her portrait and she turned her face
around so as to give him a better
view. After her condemnation she
gave him a sitting in the prison that
he might finish his work, and when
he had been thus engaged about two
hours a tap was heard on the door
and the executioners entered. The
victim turned pale, but was Belf-pos
sessed, and she cut off a long lock of
hair with scissors and gave it to the
artist, asking him at the same time
to send a replica of her portrait to
her family. This was done. The
artist was a German named Hauer,
and the story comes from his daugh
ter-in-law, who is still living. The
lock was afterward lost. The por
trait hangs at Versaillea
Simple Words the Best.
The following little story is told
sf a citizen of Port Chester, N. Y.,
whose education was somewhat su
perior to his wife’s, a fact regarding
whioh she was very sensitive. On
one occasion the man drove over to
White Plains to. inquire regarding
the health of his sister-in-law, who
was dangerously ill. Upon returning
he was met by his wife, who asked
of her sister’s condition.
"She is convalescent,” replied the
man.
Immediately and in the most em
phatic manner the woman cried out:
“I want none of your soothing words,
I want facts. You tell me this min
ute, is my sister dead or alive?”
Troubles of a Bishop.
Liberal thinkers in the churches
are having a mnch pleasanter time
now than in the time of Bishop Col
enso thirty years ago. After the
bishop published hiß book showing
that certain statements and figures
in the Pentateuch were untrue he
found himself almost universally
ostracized. Men and women whom
he had known intimately from ohild
hood refused to speak to him. And
so general was the detestation of
him that his laundress in London re
fused any longer to wash his clothes,
because she lost customers by coming
Into such close contact with him.
