Isn't it somewhat singular that the

the demonetization of ailver, and that
the present crisis is contemporaneous
with the repeal of the Sherman pur

The Smelter News, is the name of a

the name indicates it will be devoted
chiefly to the news of the smelters.
Success to the enterprise.
The veteran Rocky Mountain News
celebrated its thirty- fifth birthday last
Monday. The News has done much
for the growth of Colorado, and the
best wishes of the people go with it as
it launches forth on another year.

The edict has gone, forth in Denver
that the gamblers must go, Governor
Waite and the police board carrying
out their pet scheme to the letter. Now
the gamblers are considering the al

want them.

An effort was made to organize a
Coxey “home reserve" in Pueblo,
Thursday but it failed. The attempt
will be renewed to night. It is the
purpose of the organization to not go to
Washington unless the generalissimo
gets into trouble, when they will march
on to the capital with b-l-u din their
eye.
The equal suffrage league of Pueblo
will make a crusade on vice, and aa a
baginning will descend upon the city
council to secure the passage of laws
favorabls to their demands. If tho
league has its way, variety theaters,
saloons and houses of ill repute must
go. The action of each member of the
council will be recorded by them.
Borne day it might be discovered
that the attacks of the Pueblo Press on
the board of county commissioners are
instigated by certain politicians within
the ranks of the republican party,
tome of the prime movers wanting a
commissioners job and some wanting
something else. It is a guerrilla war
fare that won't hold out. How much
is the Press getting?
Only once since the civil war has the
country passed through such a dan
gerous crisis as the present one. that
being the panic of 1878. There is no
use denying the fact that the peace of
the nation is slumbering on a volcano,
and unless the contest between labor
and capital la adjusted there is a
chance for an ugly outbreak in one of
those periodical uprisings of pnblic
sentiment.
Senator Wolcott recently delivered
himself of the following beautiful
morsel of sarcasm in speaking of Cleve
land’s hostility to silver: "He haa been
consistent throughout, and ha haa had
tha courage of the convictions of the
national broke and the trnat companies
of the United States, to all of which
the name of silver ia a stanch and an
offense.” It would seem that Silver

either. Times when their patience and
good sense will be tried to the utmost,
times when wild, reckless talk against
the powers that be will be treason. In
times like these with a half million idle,
restless men shifting about, with dis
content staring at the administration,
from every side, all good citizena
should keep a cool head and a bridled
tongue.
Because the widows of certain
soldiers who fought in tne Mexican war
and afterward joined the rebel forces in
the rebellion are drawing pensions from
the U. 8. government, a class of small
calibre newspapers and politicans are
raising a big bowl. Shame on such
warfare. It is a poor cause that must
needs make war on women, aged and
needy as they are in this instance.
They should have decency enough left
to attack tha administration on some
other line.
The Colorado Springs chamber of
commerce has issued an interesting
prospectus called “The story of Cripple
Creek up to date.” which contains
much valuable information concerning
the great gold camp. While declaring
it the greatest gold camp in the world,
tbe compilers deplore the fact it has its
draw backs in a turbulent element of
strikers, and wild cat companies which
have done much injury to the good
name of the camp. The book Ib an
index to the wonderful growth and
busiuess of tbe Cripple Creek district.
There is a just and a sensible view
to take of the movements and objects
of Coxey’s so-called industrials. Tbe
right of way across the country should
not be denied them, nor the right to
petition congress; but here their privi
leges and their missiou end. On the
other hand it is extremely silly to lionize
these men as is the case in many dis
tricts through which they pass, and
the fulsome praise they receive is not
only misplaced but it is dangerous.
The next thing heard of the army will
have a supernatural visitation and then
there will be trouble.
There is an almost universal de
mand in this school district, which com
prises all that part of Pueblo lying
south of the river, for economy in the
affairs of the school. No miserly or
unwise economy is asked for, but a
reasonable retrenchment of expenses
which can be accomplished by a dis
missal of several special teachers, tbe
discharge of private secretaries, the
moderate reduction of teachers' salaries
and the like. The salary of the super
intendent of the schools of tbe dis
trict will stand a cut of SI,OOO a year
at least, which in itself is quite an item.
Vote for those candidates who will
bring this about.
Much exception is taken in Pueblo
to the speech delivered by St. John at
the Board of Trade, because under the
guise of a temperance lecture he took
for his text, "Hard times—their cause
and remedy,” and launched forth into a
populistic stump speech ot more than
two hours in length, be devoting but a
few minutes to the cause of prohibi
tion. It is a poor cause that must
capture an audience by deception, and
while the populists may be elated over
having stolen a march on the public, the
local W. C. T. U. under whose auspices
the speaker appeared, will hardly
relish tbe joke played at their expense.
They expected a temperance talk and
got a populist harangue.
President Cleveland is blamable and
congress is blamable for the conditions
that make such as the Coxy, the Kelley,
the Freye and the Hogan armies pos
sible. Had well directed legislation
been enacted a year or even six months
ago whereby the wheala of iudustry
could have been set in motion, there
would have been little discontent and
therefore no "industrials” marching to
the capital. The means by which con
gress could have had accomplished this
end were at Uand, but instead of de
voting its eniuest attention to the
amelioration of the country, it was
striving to make points in politics, each
side attempting to place the other in a
compromising position before the peo
ple. Mr. Cleveland is not wholly to
blame, for a two-thirds majority could
at any time pass laws of relief. The
fftesent state of affairs is deplorable,
in this the greatest country on earth
where at least a good living has al
ways bean guaranteed to any who
would work. If the on-to-Washington
armies should prove to be an object
lesson to congress some good might
come out of the injury such an uprising
has done.
Making Rails.
The steel works continue to run
steadily, theU. P. order being operated
on. This order will occupy the at
tention of the worka for two montha to
come, when it is confidently expocted
that other orders will have been
secured. About 400 men are em
ployed In all department* of tho works.

PUEBLO, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 28,1894.
TELLS HOW IT IS DONE.
The Drop in Steel Rails More Than
Balanced by a Drop in Wages.
A remarkably trank admission was
that made by President J. C. Osgood of
tbe C. F. & I. Co. to the Engiuceing
and Mining Journal of New York, in
an interview published in that journal
a short time since. Mr. Osgood states
the facts in the case as they are known
to be by a great mauv, but which huve
been vigorously denied by tbe local
management. He shows that tbe big
drop in tbe price of steel rails bus been
more than met by a reduction in the
price of labor—A reduction which not
only offsets the loss on ruils but makes
up for th* loss of earnings in the ex
tensive coal operations of tbe company.
When such statements are made by
outside parties they are taken by the
public not concerned in tbe steel works
with a great deal of allowance, but
coming as they do from the bead of the
institution they must be accepted. They
show conclusively that the C. F. & I.
Co. will not share the loss of a reduc
tion in tbe price of iron and steel, but
that the hardship must be borne by the
workingmen. Mr. Osgood said:
.‘The reduction made by the company
in the price ol steel rails is much less
than tbe reduction which it is able to
make in wages and other expenditures,
so that its margin on steel rail produc
tion has been increased. The reduc
tion of wages at the steel plant will
average fully 25 per ceut. This is
about the reduction in all operating ex
penses. The company is manufactur
ing merchant iron and has enlarged its
output, fts old markets are restricted
as compared with previous operations,
but it has secuied new markets which
more than counterbalance this re
striction. The company's earnings in
its coal business have been more
seriously cut into, owing to reduced
railroad traffic and smelter operations,
than was at first believed would be the
case. However, the loss of revenue
from this source will be more than
made up through the improved con
dition of the iron and steel works”.
Want the Forfeit.
Tho Bullen Bridge Co. is now petition
ing the city couucil to allow them the
$720 penalty withheld by the ex-city
council of Bessemer as forfeiture on
the Northern avenue viaduct. The
claim of the Bullens will bear much in
vestigation, and the council may dis
cover that Bessemer was eminently
right in the stand taken by its city
council. The petitioners declared, how
ever, that they never before were so
shamefully wronged by any set of men,
and never had had 9uch trouble. It is
only necessary to cite the fact they
are slippery by referring to the incident
of the west 4th street viaduct when the
county commissioners turned them back
to fulfill their agreement whereby S6OO
worth of additional work - was de
manded of them by the board of county
commissioners before the bridge was
accepted. The board here established
a precedent for the protection of the
people which the city council might do
well to follow.
To Celebrate the Event.
The weather being favorable the
Pueblo City Railway Co. will in
augurate to-morrow the running of the
first cars on the new lake line with a
band and by running extra cars. Supt.
Martin informs the Indicator that
there will be two trains, one to
be made up of Motor No. 11 and two
open trailers, and other of motor No. 6
and two trailers, to be manned by the
oldest men on the line, the conductors
being E. Hill and Moso Masters, and
Dave Winters and James Naden the
molormcn.
The first cars will leave the Northern
avenue junction at 1:45 p. m., and a
ten minute service will be kept up all
the afternoon. The band will see the
first trains off from the junction, and
will then go with the second train to
the lake where it will furnish music foi
a time, alternating between the two
points until evening. The company ex
pects to carry a thousndd people over
this route tomorrow. The new line is a
good thing, particularly for people in
this end of the town and will no doubt
be well patronized.
