Pueblo has one of the newsiest,
brightest and best evening papers in
the state —the Star
Commencing to-day the banks of
Pueblo will hereafter close promptly at
12 o'clock on Saturdays.
The Mineral Palace which was
closed on sn attachment a couple of
weeks ago will be reopened In a few
days.
The notorious Standard theater has
been again licensed by the city council
in spite of the protest of a vast number
of the best cititcus of the towu.
It is likely that Silver Ed will at
once obey the behests of the dissatisfied
miners of Victor who are clamoring tor
his resignation and pack his kit and
come home.
The Pueblo Journal has changed
from an evening to a morning paper.
It is a well edited, newsy journal with
a laudable ambition, and the Indi
cator hopes to see it ride the top wave
of success.
Aldermen Williams and Uorgan
seem to pose as the especial champions
of high salaries, they refusing to sign
the scale of reductions. In view of the
fact that retrenchment is the watch
ward their position is not at all popular.
Bt a revised table of appropriations
for the year 1894 the city council of
Pueblo will be able to reduce the run
ning expenses of the city $41,500. This
is true economy and it is business.
City warrants have already advanced in
value.
When the Coxey army started out it
was generally supposed to be a non
partisan movement, but now the pop
ulists are claiming tho affair, Coxey,
white horse, men aud all. They can
have them, but it means defeat to the
commonwealers.
Commonwualers of Pueblo perfect
ed an organization this week with 100
members. The wealers “gave notice"
to the national government and to
municipal officers everywhere not to
interfere with the constitutional rights
of the Coxcyites.
The striking miners of Frccmont
county, to the number of 000 held a
meeting near Florence, Monday, and by
a two-thirds majority resolved to not
go back to work until ordered to do so
by the presiduut of the United Coal
Miner's association.
The populist state couventiou will
be held in Pueblo September 4. Gov
ernor Waite will strain a point to get
a renomination and the chances are he
will succeed, for deny It as they will
the governor is to-day head and
shoulders above any other populist in
Colorado with his party.
“General" Coxey is pleased to
make a nice distinction between law
and what he calls constitutional rights,
and will insist on making congress
listen to him make a speech. The
“general" will suoceed in making a
nuisance of himself one of these dayr
and his dream of roosting on the
capital steps will be at an end.
Mayor Strait says there must be
ecouomy in city affairs, and as a be
ginner ail city officials have accepted a
ten per cent reduction for the present
year. The county commiasionera are
also for the plan of economies. Now
let the schools cut off some of its use
less appendages and save a further item
of expense to the tax-payers.
The senseless and savage custom of
hanging a man in effigy is to be de
spised, and when the striking miners of
Victor who refused to go to work at
$3.00 a day hung Senator Wolcott in
effigy because of his speech on the
commonweal movement, they earned
the contempt of all good citizens. The
senator told the truth so far as they are
concerned.
“We, the people of the United
States," said Coxey, demand the right
to roost upon and about the capitol
if we choose, and “We, the citizens of
Pueblo,” said Attorney McFeeley, en
dorse General Coxey. Those gentle
men recall to mind the convention of
the London tailors who lived on Marrybo
Lane. They passed a resolution and
“Resolved, that we. the people of
London,” etc. The mystic we is mighty

msnts. The reasonable expenditure of
money for good schools is one thing
and a reckless expenditure of public
funds is quite another. By good man
agement this district can have better
schools than it has now aud save $lO,
000 a year. Everybody wants the best
of schools and they must he maintained,
but there is such u thing as a wanton
extravagance.
A Home Reserve.
The third counts. After two un
successful attempts the wealers of
Pueblo finally organized a “Coxey Re
lief Corps” Wednesday night. It was
thought at first that the Coxey move
ment was to be strictly non-partisan,
but here it is clearly a populist affair,
the men at the head, Prof. M. A. Morey,
J. J. McFeeley and C. L. Engle being
out and out populists and public speak
ers for the cause. Many regard the
whole Coxey affair as a political scheme
A brauch of tho home reserve will be
organized in Bessemer.
Want a Change.
Dr. A. L. Fugard is a man who by
education and training is splendidly
fitted to assist on the hoard of directors
in conducting the affairs of the schools
of this district. The people demand
downright hard, practical work, in
terspersed with a reasonable amount of
diversion; they want the pupils equipped
with a generous supply ot knowledge
that will fit them for the educational
emergencies which arise in every day
life, and they want the best schools
consistent with a reasonable expenditure
of funds. Dr. Fugard favors this. lie
has been selected from among many as
being one of the members of the in
coming beard who is ready and anxious
to bring about this state of affairs.
Vote for him.
A Stupendous Farce.
That was u stupendous farce en
acted by the city couucil iu favor of
granting a license to continue running
the Standard theater. The attorney for
the resort summoned witnesses to
testify to the reputable character of the
place and among them was James
Hanlin, the proprietor. The evidence
was listened to by the police com
mittee and reported favorably upon to
the council, the testimony adduced go
ing to show that the dive is a nice re
spectable place where many church
people go. Some of the testimony was
noncommittal, but James Huulin et al
testified to the respectability of the
theater, and a license was granted.
Should necessity arise the other forty
people connected with the place could
no doubt prove the place a temple of
purity.
What Senator Wolcott Said.
The much abused and ill-used speech
of Senator Wolcott delivered in the
senate April 27 on the Coxey move
ment has been garbled by his enemies
in Colorado to suit a selfish end. He
is quoted as having said that any man
in Colorado who wants it can get work,
making his speech direct and cold with
out a spark of charity for the unem
ployed. The senator did not make
such a statement hut he did use the
following language, which is a plea for
bis state and the worthy people of his
state:
“I am tired, Mr. President, of this
talk of a national demonstration. The i
states wherein these men reside owe
them the charity of their support until
work can be found for these who are
willing to work. Iu Colorado to-day,
crushed and humiliated as she is by the
action of congress, I venture to say
that no man is starving because he can
not find work or willing hands to help
him or willing friends to assist him in
supporting him until work can be found
for him.”

PUEBLO, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 8,1894.
CALLS FOR ECONOMY
Dispense With Useless and Costly
Appendages.
The people of district No. 20 call for re
lief—Specials to be dispensed with
and money saved— Some figures
that tell a tale.
In times like these, when peoplo are
in debt heels over head, when they are
making a desperate struggle to live,
when the city is in debt to the amount
of a half million dollars, when the city
council to save the credit of the mu
nicipality was obliged to triin running
expenses for 1894 to the amount of
$41,50(1, when property is not market
able, and when the conditions of the
times call for economy let there be
economy, and let it be in every de
partment of county, city aud school
government.
Just now the people havo to deal
with the schools. The election of a
majority of the board will be next
Monday, and as an opportunity affords
of changing the management of the
school board, and us a change in the
conduct of the schools must come
through the board, it behooves every
woman and every man who favor better
schools at a much less expense to go to
the polls and cast a ballot for the antis.
Iu proof of the fact that there is
great extravagance practiced in this
district it is only necessary to poiut out
a few of the special features connected
with the Central high school. There
arc special teachers employed at enor
mous salaries whose services can be
dispensed with without harming the
school, and the money saved to the tax
ridden people.
For example, Prof. Cornell is hired
to teach music for the school year for
the extravagant sum of $1,500! Ju9t
think of it! One thousand five hundred
dollars, and for what? To give special
instruction in music, wheu it is taught
in every department by the regular
teachers. Lop off this expense. Teach
singing, but if there are those who care
to take a high course there is ample
opportunity afforded them to attend
singing schools in the city, or to take
private lessons.
Miss Palmer receives $125 per month
for teaching physical culture, a pleasant
feature of a school, but iu this instance
a very expensive one, and more than
the people can stand. Calisthenics
can be practiced in each riom ny the
regular teachers, also, and the higher
course of gymnastics should be re
garded as a luxury and dropped. There
is too much of it in the schools, any
how, too much dress parade, too much
diversion. Let there be a saving here.
Prof. Newell, he of the manual train
ing department receives S9OO per school
year for his services which consists in
teaching the girls and boys to use the
turning lathe, to make little wooden
boxes, racks and the like, and to whittle.
The equipments will approximate each
year $1,500, not counting the first cost
of machinery. The ueat little 9um of
S4O per month is also paid for electric
power to turn the wheels. Great ob
jection is raised throughout the district
because of the time occupied in this
department. Now an opportunity is
afforded to do away with it and to save
a big lot of money.
Then it must not be overlooked that
Prof. Search keeps a private secretary
S6O per month—lt may exceed that
amount—simply to do the work he
should do himself. But the people pay
for the services the secretary just the
same. If, Prof. Search, instead of uiak
ing a lecture tour of tho state on “The
Pueblo Method," alias, “Prof. Search's
Method.” would devote more of this
time to his strict duties, he would have
no need of a secretary. The proper
thing to do is to reduce his salary from
the enormous sum of $3,000 per school
year to about SI,BOO and make him
work.
These are a few of the inconsistencies
and extravagancies of the schools of
district No. 20. The figures are ap
proximately correct and challenge con
tradiction.
A Scheme That Didn’t Work.
The apponents of Dr. A. L. Fugard
who ii running for the five-year term of
director in district No, 20 havo re
sorted to something which looks very
much like trickery to obtain his defeat.
A communication waß sent to tho Star
stating that “Mrs. Fugard" is the op
ponent of George E. Bragdon, the
Search candidate, and another state
ment whb made in tho Chieftain to the
effect that “Dr. Dora Fugard" is the
candidate. This was done to confuse
the people and reflects no credit on
those who perpetrated the “joke."
Dr. A. L. Fugard is the real candi
date, an opponent of extravagance and
the favorite of the people of this dis
trict. He is on the alert and can not be
downed by such jobs. The errors in
the papers mentioned have been cor
rected and the doctor has mads friends
where the other side has made enemies,
