Cut down the expense • of runuing
the city and there will be rejoicing.
Democratic politicians feel their
hair trying to stand on end when
mention is made of next fall’s con
gressional elections.
The East is alarmed at the influx of
Coxeyitcs and threatens retaliation by
transporting immigrants clear through
to the Pacific slope for $lO.lO.
Tiie longer work on the public build
ing is postponed the better the chances
fora more central location will be;
hence the apathy south of the river in
regard to pushing the measure.
The sugc of Olathe, Kansas, is carry
ing-the war on strong drink into Colo
rado, now that the women have power
through the ballot. The people of
Pueblo will therefore be treated to a
lecture by John P. Bt. John at the
Board of Trade next Monday evening.
Governor Waite came out ahead on
his police board appointments, the
supreme court having declared in favor
of Mullins and Barnes, the governor's
latest appointees, and ugainst Orr and
Marlin. Laying aside the personalty of
the case, the public at large will ap
plaud the upholding of governmental
dignity.
Pueblo, like a young spendthrift,
has been living beyond its means for
years past until the high tax rate has
become a burden. The new council
has resolved to curtail expenses for the
next fiscal year to the tune of about
SIOO,OOO, and the public hopes to sec
the good resolution carried .out. “A
new broom sweeps clean.''
The city of Pueblo and the county
of Pueblo are certainly under a re
publican administration, Auditor Loor,
a democrat, being the only stray sheep
acting in an official capacity in the city,
and District Judge Voorhees, a pop
ulist or democrat being the only outside
man figuring in tbo affairs of the county,
Otero county claiming part of him.
The Sunday Opinion, an authority
on local politics, attributes the great
rush of republicans for the nomina
tions next fall to the success of that
party in the late city election. At this
distance it does seem as if a nomina
tion would mean au election, but you
can’t always tell; too much strength
often causes a split in the ranks of the
big party.
The Indicator would make the
suggestion that the question of employ
ing special teachers in the Central
high school for the next year bo taken
up and discussed. There are patrons
of the school who feel that the services
of specials and privato secretaries
could be dispensed with for a time
without injury to tlia general good of
the school.
What becomes of the people? In
every city and every town of any size,
business rooms are vacated, residences
are deserted and a lone vacancy scares
at one from all sides. Hard times have
brought it about, thiß absence of the
people, and the mystery of it all is,
what has become of them? They are
not in Pueblo, they are not in Denver,
nor Leadville, nor Aspen, nor Trinidad,
nor can you trace them to the cities
and towns of other states. They
don’t live in the air, nor do they live
in caves, The country districts do not
talk of an increased population. The
people are somewhere, but where?
There is a selfish and grinding
organization in the city which styles
itself the Pueblo County Medical
Society, which considers it a breach of
etiquette fora physician to have cards,
to keep a card in a newspaper or to
allow his name to be mentioned in the
newspapers in any way in connection
with his professional services. The
object is, of course, to keep down and
freeze out the young doctors and the
newcomers. If the young physicians
new ones would only assert
their independence of the order they
would have a quicker and surer practice
Let them advertise openly and above
board while the members of the P. C
M. S. get themselves iu print on every
occasion, just as s mattsr of newa, you
know.
Taking the Census.

NEW CITY APPOINTMENTS.
They Were few, Many ot the old Officers
Being Reappointed.
The decapitation of official heads
was not great in the initial meeting of
the city council, and therefore new
appointments were correspondingly few
By pursuing the pacific course Mayor
Strait avoided certain clashes between
different factions, but as a matter of
course all of his new appointments do
not give general satisfaction.
8. A. Abbey was reappoinied chief
of police, and W. M. Davis night
captain. Both have been efficient
officers.
Of the twenty-five policemen ’only
four were new men, viz., A. Boden,
John Eckbcry, Geo. Tinsley and Mack
Kuntz. The other twenty-one police
men have been in the service of the
city. All the appointments were con
firmed by the council.
Miss Della Jacobs was reappointed
city stenographer, Dr. J. J. Willard
city physician, 3. W. Hook chief of
the fire department, Charleß Timbers
scavenger, and J. D Mitflin health
officer.

censes iu favor of granting a saloon
license to J. H. Craig Ji Co. to do
business In the now notorious old
building in "block 4b.”
The instrument is dated April 13,

cover some wonderful stretches of

The First Car.
Superintendent Martin captured car
No. 34 Wednesday afternoon, and soon
after the silver spike was driven ran
around the loop, not a hitch being ex
perienced in the first trip.
Lecture.
Ex-Governor John P. St. John of
Kansas will address the voters of Pueblo
at the board of Trade hall next Monday
evening on “Hard Times, Their Cause
aud Remedy.” Admission free.
Taxes Cancelled.
The delinquent taxes ot 1887 have
been cancelled by the county com
missioners. The taxes are deemed un
collcctable and the statutes of the
state empower the commissioners of
any county to cancel taxes which have
remained uncollected for six years.—
Pueblo Journal.
A Bell for a Gong.
Chief Hook of the fire department is
inventing a contrivance for ringing a
locomotive bell attached to his wagon
to take the place of the gong. The
sound of the gong too nearly resembles
that of the street cars, and people
often mistake his flying rig for Ihe
slowly moving car and make their
calculations accordingly for getting
out of the way, sometimes having a
close call.
With the Stone Cutters.
A visit to the stone yard of the Mc-
Murphy Bros, at 1010 Cypress street
discloses the fact that there are two
very good workmen doing some very
sculpturing in the city. The McMurphy
Bros, are now under contract to make
ten soda fountains for Andy Park & Co.,
which will be located at different points
throughout the city. They are chiseling
the fountains out of native white sand
stone obtained about six miles west of
town and are producing some excellent
work. Five of the fountains are
rectangular, surmounted with appropri
ate caps, while five are cylindrical in
shape, fashioned after a tree stump,
the imitation of the decaying bark
being perfect. Some of these are
artistically ornamented with wheat
sheaves and ferns, with natural coloring,
and display much skill on the part of
the workmen with mallet and chisel.
A visit to the yard will repay lovers of
the beautiful.
