Memorial day will be appropriately
observed in Pueblo.
Congressman Pence is courtiDg the
sensational in his defense of “General”
Coxey.
First a big Fourth of July cele
bration and next a stato tair. Pueblo
cau afford both.
There is a vast amount of typhoid
and scarlet fever iu this part of the
city. Bessemer needs sewerage and
needs it bad.
Pueblo has become the dumping
ground for all the coimnonwealers of
Colorado, they using the Rio Grande as
u means of transportation.
The country necd9 more money in
circulation. Free coinage of silver
would bring more money and would be
followed by a return of prosperous
times.
Governor Waite would like to be
his owu successor and also to go to the
U. S. senate. Colorado will manage to
struggle along without him hereafter
in any official capacity.
Home of the city papers are en
gaged in the laudable purpose of having
the streets named It is a fact that a
stranger can be as completely lost iu
Pueblo as iu a city of Ilindoostan.
Pueblo is seriously contemplating a
Fourth of July celebration. The natal
day has not been observed in this city
for three years, and a cebebration the
coming Fourth would be a welcome
event.
A great many of Pueblo’s citizens
are interested in Cripple Creek mines
and also in mines in the richest part of
Mexico. Should fortuno smile on them
tho result will be seen in splendid Im
provements m the city.
The Pueblo Journal has again re
organized with J. A Sheldon as busi
ness manager. It will be run on the
co-operative plau. has been increased to
eight pages aud will be republican.
The Indicator wishes it unbounded
success.
Missouri democracy is raising a
Bland presidential boom. It is possible
that a bi-metallic candidate from the
west would be popular with the masses
iu 1806. but ut this time such a moye
would seem only to serve as a good
opening for an eastern republican
goldbug.
Luckily for the great majority of
Colorado merchants they are not heavliy
stocked with merchandise and the
great reduction in freight rates will not
seriously injuro them for the time
being. It is only those who have in
vested heavily of late who will lose
from a destructive competition.
Anarchist Clemens of Topeka is a
fire-eater of the worst kind. In one of
his Incendiary harangues recently he
declared that "the country needs a
good hot blood bath,” and expected to
see it get one. What he needs is a
daily ducking iu the cold waters of the
muddy Kansas until he comes to his
senses. He is a blatherskite of the
rankest sort.
Those irritable people who are al
ways scolding about the fire e.larm
whistle don’t seem to understand the
safety that lies in those shrill notes. If
the “mocking bird” were done away
with and a lot of those same people
were to have narrow escapes from
being run down on the street by the
big teams and fire apparatus they
would probably stop their kicking.
Wttile Bessemer was yet a munici
pality in itself, an ordinance was framed,
to submit to the people tho proposition
of voting $40,000 for sewers; owing ti.
annexation the question was dropped .
The people were forced to recognize the
necessity of sewers then and would n o
doubt have voted the bonds. Can tho y
get sewers now? Will the aldermo n
from the Bth act in the premises?
The railroads having decided to sht it
down on free transportation, the
Coxeyltes find progress slow and it l •
very doubtful if many more will read t
Washington. The west is anxious to •
get the “armies” east as ths peopls
there are more able to take care of
them, and work is easier to be hod.
The east thus far has not had tho
courtesy to bow its compliments to thlo
part of tbs great republic
Ex-Gov. Adams, of Pusblo, seems to j
bo Id demand .is a candidate for govern-1
or this coming fall. The repiMtoeo*|
are talking about making some kind uf
a combination whereby they can run
him and the white wings and what is
left of the “silver" dnnocruta arc trying
to get together for the same purpose.
Now if Mr. Adams could induce the
populists to take up his cause also he
would have a clean walkover. But
without the populists his chances
would be very slim.—Denver Ores and
Metals.
Tiie Denver News finds fault with
Senators Teller and Wolcott because
they do not agree on the common
weal movement. It blames Mr. Teller
for expressing sympathy for well mean
ing Coxeyites when Mr. Wolcott de
nounces the whole outfit, claiming that
the one is bidding for the working
men's support while the other is talk
ing to please the plutocrats. The
News is becoming extremely populistic
when it refuses to be pleasad with any
thing that does not emanate from a
populist source.
Governor Waite found it necessary
to make more holes for his official pegs
and therefore removed tho three com
missioners of the penitentiary. Messrs.
Reynolds, Boettcher and Chamberlain.
His excellency's object is to get a board
in who will obey bis behest and remove
Warden (McLister, hut Mac has bar
ricaded himself iu the pen aud says he
won’t go. The commissioners refuse
also to be ousted for what they term a
trumped up charge of malfeasance and
will go to law. The Denver News,
apostle of populism refers to the
governor’s doings as “an act of luuacy.”
Contradictory stories are afloat
concerning the value of Cripple Creek
mines. One is to the effect that the
big owners have all along encouraged
the strike now on to enable them more
time in which to unload, while another
is that they are waiting tor the com
pletion of the railroad into camp and
will again proceed with operations
when the cost of transportation will be
greatly lessened. The latter rumor is
altogether ths more likely. The fear
ot trouble with the strikers has also
had much to do with holding back
until a time when outside assistance
would be more available. A few weeks
will tell.
Senator Teller is disposed to take a
gloomy view of the outlook for the
present and near future. He says: “1
myself believe tho present dreadful con
dition of our laboring and producing
people is the direct and Immediate re
sult of bad legislation already on our
statute books. and othor that is
threatened, but I have uo hope of im
mediate legislation thut will give the
required relief.” Henry M. may be
prophetic, but it must bo remembered
that he is a strong protectionist and
silver advocate, and the hostility of
congress to his pet measures, especially
the silver cause, may have warped his
views. There are few. however, who
will doubt but that bad legislation has
been largely responsible for the un
fortunate state of affairs.
EASTERN IRON INDUSTRY.
There is a Marked Revival of Improve
ments in the Business.
North Bros. & Co., will erect a three
story foundry.
Chantrell Tool Co., Reading, Ps., are
contemplating the erection of a three
story building, 60x150 feet.
The Shenandoah Steel Roofing Co.
of Woodstock, Va., contemplate estab
ishing a plant at Stautoa, Va!
The People’s Iron Works, Phila
delphia, have just let the contract for
the erection of a now machine shop
80x160 feet.
At Philadelphia, work has jnst begun
on the new building of the Fidelity
Mutual Life Association, the Pcncoyd
Iron works getting the contract fer the
iron construction, which is a large
tonnage.
A dispatch from Hamilton, ont,, says
that a contract has been signed by the
Philadelphia Engineering Co., of Phila
delphia, to erect a a blast furnace plant
there for a local company for $860,000,
the work to be m running order by the
Ist of January next.
The Crescent Brass <& Iron Works
Co., of Detroit, are building an ex
tension, 46x100 feet, to be used as a
foundry. When tho building is com
pleted more men will be employed.
The Frankford Steel works, Phila
delphia, are negetiating for the re
moval ef their entire plant to the

Stop Train-Stealing.
The stealing of trains will have to be
stopped, even if the stealing of a whole
railroad dees not meet with the punish
ment tho crime deserves. The one
crime does not condone the other. It
is probable that the great majority of
the citizens of this country sympathize
heartily with the real cominoiiwcalers.
and are of the opinion that something
must be doue to relieve the present
condition of stagnation, starvation and
unrest. It is all very well to denounce
-demagogue leaders, but the dema
gogues could never have inaugurated
tbs industrial movement had the times
been prosperous aud work plenty. But
the movement lias been taken advan
tage of by deßpcrate and lawless men
who are bringing discredit upon it. It
is these men. who should be checked
and punished.—Denver Times.
A Big Mistake.
The city council made a big mistake
in granting a license to the Standard
variety theater. It should ue closed on
suspicion if for no other cause. A
place where crime is even alleged to
have been committed should be sup
pressed. There is a good deal of in
dignation over the action of those who
voted to grant the place a license.—
Sunday Opinion.
Running Full Blast.
Tho steel works are running full blast
presenting a lively appearance. Thurs
day noon blast furnace No. 3 was
blown in and the two furnaces will
keep the converter and rail mill going
indefinitely. Everybody is being crowd
ed and the output is big. The Btartiug
of the second furnace gives employ
ment to about sixty men.
Bessemer Leads.
The Bessemer base ball nine is having
splendid success this season, it having
defeated the crack team of Pueblo in
three successive games. Most of the
boys are recently from tho east and are
employed at the steel works. The
Pueblo Pastimes with their colored
mascots must do more practicing.
WITH AND POINT.
In the tenth century there were
thirty-eight mints ia England.
In the United States and British
America there are 130,197 Sunday
schools. These are attended by over
10,000,000 pupils.
The annual report of the Boston fire
department attributes the cause of a
number of fires in that city last year
to “smoking in bud,” and it has a sub
division in which the origin of the fire
is set down to “oareless smoking in
bed.”
A Boston merchant sent a letter di
rected to Broadway, New York, with
out a number. The letter came back
with the postmark of every station
the whole length of Broadway, and
a form filled out by the various post
masters detailing the search.
Twenty millions of articles of mail
matter pAss through the peetoffices of
the United Btate9 each day and nearly
500,000 letters are reoeived annually
at the dead letter office, because of a
deficiency in address or postage, or be
oause of illegibility of penmanship
It was Vinnle Ream, the sculptress,
who, on being told by a visitor to hef
studio that her marble statue of
Venus was vulgar and low, replied:
“Madame, it is ydur mind that is
vulgar and low—not my pieoe of mar
ble.” “Honi soit qul mal v pense” is
as appropriate to-day as a hundred
years ago.
Holidays are curiously abused by
some busy men, espeolally lawyers,
young and old. Many lawyers spend
six or eight hours of overy holiday In
undisturbed wort at their offices,
where on such days they are safe from
the intrusion alike of clients and
friends. Others crowd the library of
the Bar association, and still others
work quietly at their oases in club
libraries or iu the privacy of their own
homes. W these men and many
others holi ys are esteemed chiefly
valuable as offering an opportunity of
clearing up arrears of work.

“The oharter of a kennel club should

observed Larimer. "Why not?” asked
Dinwtddi* “Because it ought to be
purp-etual.”
