Ant kind of a state fair would be
better than no fair at all. Can not a
new association be formed?
Chairman Hubbard of ths board of
county commissioners is being widely
praised for his charitable dealings with
the deserving poor.
The Pueblo Journal which has been
struggling against adverse winds is now
gliding over the journalistic waters
with a steady sail and is bound to
weather the storm. It is a credit to the
city.
Qenbrai.B Coxey and Browne were
each sentenced to twenty days in the
bastile for displaying partisan banners
on the capitol grounds, and in addition
were fined $5 each for trespassing on
the grass.
Tns city council is determined to re
trench on expenses and with that end
in view has cut off forty-two electric
lights, even against the protest of a
petition six yards long; and the council
is right. There must be economy in
city affairs.
Cattle reported dying on the plaint
of this county owing to the scarcity of
grass. There has been but one good rain
here since last fall, and the grass has
not yet gotten a start, the ground in
moat places being covered only by the
Drown stubs of last year’s crop.
Political speakers should remember
that equal suffrage is a dead issue in
Colorado, new that the ballot has been
voted to the women. The public de
mands something new or begs to be let
alone. Equal suffrage is a good thing,
it is here, and platform prating can not
make it stronger.
Wht must platform oraters persist in
harping on the silver question here in
Colorado? There would be as much
reason in preaching protection to the
manufacturers of Massachusetts or
monometallism to the bankers of New
York. Coloradoans are all of one
mind on the subject of silver.
T. V. Powderly, he of the Knights
of Labor fame baa been unceremoneous
ly expelled from the order, it being
claimed by his enemies that be was
aiming at its disruption. Mr. Powderly
did lots for the K. of L. and in fact
gave it most of its respectability as n
great workingmen's organization.
None but the best, the men of the
highest legal attainments and moral
standing should be encouraged to make
the race for the district judgeship.
Apropos of this the usually uon-com
mittnl Chieftain gets worked up and
says: “Police court practitioners and
sbellhark shysters must be kept out of
the race."
Frank P. Arbur.kle of Denver is
being talked up by a small circle of
friends for democratic nominee for
governor next fall. Mr. Arbuckle is
chairman of the state democratic
central committee and a shrewd poli
tician, but is at variance with many
of the big guns in his own party. The
present move ie a feeler.
It comee with ill grace for Governor
Waite to condemn his predecessors for
extravagance in office when his own
stupendous blunder in calling a special
session of the legislature is remembered
whereby the taxpayers of the state
were robbed of something like $85,000.
But consistency never was classed as a
populistic virtue.
Pueblo base balliats accomplished
the remarkable feat of making seventy
twe runs in a game last Sunday, many
being home runs with several seconds
to spare. At the same time a game
was played in Peoria, 111., where only
five runs were tallied and all hy a
■cratch. Verily the Pueblo boy* are
mighty sluggers and great sprinters.
The Oklahoma outlaw, “Arkansas
Tom,” who killed three men in a fight
at Guthrie last fall has been convicted
by a jury of manslaughter and will get
a sentence of imprisonment for life.
The next thing beard of that jury It
will be wearing six inch >pnra, long
knivee, sharp bseled boots, broad whits
lists, fisros whiskers and Winchesters.
The city council cat off s number of
streets lights In ths Interest of economy,
so retrenchment In expenses is ths
watchword of ths hoar. Ths two
etectgta light companies, however, tak
ing advantage of tke howl raised by
some of ths residents ta ths dark
IbKMa, have beoems etahhom and tw
ines to wsspl the eat They w«|
can. Now is a good time for the city
to cast about fer ways and means to
build .id electric plant of its own and
leave the hoggish companies out in the
cold. What aldermen will take the
lead in the matter?
The inevitable is happening in the
east. Pitched battles have been fought
between deputies and striking coal
miners in La SAlle, 111., and Connells
▼ille. Pa., and the end is not in sight.
Tns Pueblo Star is out after the
north side water trustees for a ceal con
tract let to the highest bidder, the Victor
Coal company. The Star alleges that
the trustees accepted a bid of $2.00 a
ton for slack, when the Victor is sup
pling private parties with the same coal
for $1.60 a ton. The over-plus would
foot up the handsome sum of $2,400 a
year, and the Star demands to know
where the surplus goes, declaring that
there is boodle somewhere or that the
trustees have been hoodwinked. The
trustees say that the other bidding
companies could not be depended upon,
and that they let the contract to the
“lowest and best bidder.”
What is commonly known as Mexico
in this city is the dread of respectable
people and the curse of the taxpayers.
Every little while some toughs ever in
that wretched locality get into a
drunken brawl which endß in the maim
ing or killing of one or more of the
combatants. Arrests and trials follow
which cost the city several hundred
dollars and no great good is ac
complished. The Anselms murder case
of the 11 inst is a good example. The
coroner's jury found that the un
fortunate wretch came to bis death by
“unknown hands"—the usual verdict,
and this after several dayß investiga
tion, and now the city can foot the bill.
Mexico <b a costly ornament.
The mine operators at Cripple Creek
are proceeding to carry out their deter
mination of working their property
about June 1 in spite of the hostile
opposition of the strikers. The leaders
of the turbulent element in the camp
are said to be Couer d Alene follows
who would rather fight than work.
The deputies sent to guard the mines,
about 400 in number, are ne tenderfeet,
half of them being ex-policemen and
deputy sheriffs and all of them picked
men. If they are called into action
they will go m to win, and it looks as
if there is bound to he trouble. About
150 men passed through the city yester
day morning from Denver on their way
to Cripple, all of them heavily armed
with Winchesters and revolvers.
When “Silver” Dick Bland's presi
dential boom was sprung it uncovered
the real sentiment of Missouri on the
silver question. It demonstrates that
the rank and file of the people are for
bimetallism, and shows that the banks,
the trust companys and the wholesale
merchants of St. Louis represented
none but themselves when they peti
tioned President Cleveland to veto the
Bland seinierage bill. If Bland were
made president there would be no
quibbling, no straddling. The country
would have free coinage of silver and
the democratic party a respectable
leader. But "there’s many a slip.” and
as Richard is so far “out west” and the
election is two years off it is too early
to begin making presidents.
Tiik coal miners of Colorado can not
affect the result of the strike in the
cast one way or the other, and the
action of the Fremont miners who are
uow bent on driving the employes in
the southern part of the state out of
the miues is ill-timed and wrong.
Those miners at Rouse, Pictou and
other points are receiving their custom
ary wages and are satisfied to continue
work. There is a responsibility resting
on those who deprive others of em
ployment these times, and the coercion
of the Fremont miners can not have the
moral support of the public. The coal
miners of Colorado should have noth
ing to do with “sympathic strikes.” If
the miners in the southern part of the
state desire to continue work they
should be protected in their right.
Can This be True?
There seems to he hut little doubt
that the Coxey movement is being
backed with English capital. The
object is to disrupt this government,
and the English believe that by taking
advantage of democratic blunders there
will likely result a revolution which
will result in great good to that nation.
There are several reasons for believing
that there lean unseen power betind
thle uprising. Not one of theee
“generals” but what has large eume of

PUEBLO, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 26,1894.
OPENED THE CAMPAIGN.
Governor Waite Fires a Y. M. C. A.
Address into a Mixed and Fleet
ing Political Gatheiing.
Governor Waite talked for two hours
to a large audience of all political de
nominations at the Board of Trade hall
Monday night. His speech consisted
chiefly of a written address which he
had prepared to read at a convention
of the Y. M. C. A. in Denver a short
time ago but didn’t.
Several local populists formed a
background to his excellency's manly
form, but conspicuous by his absence
was I. D. Chamberlain, commissioner
of the penitentiary, bounced. Adjutant
General Tarsney who still holds his job
was there, and made a few remarks
after the governor had finished.
His excelloncy took fer ills text an
article from the New York independent
which argued that Christianity and
good government are traveling hand in
hand and that the world is growing
better. The speaker denied everything
in substance and delivered a char
acteristic populist harangue, making
the usual complaint that “they” have
everything and poor “we” have noth
ing; in tact, fifty years ego there were
only four million slaves in the United
States and now there are sixty odd
millions. The world is growing more
corrupt, he said, and the aiguments of
the Independent to the contrary “for
impudence and falsehood would shame
the very devil.” The church was inef
ficient in heathen countries and Godless
in civilized countries. It wns not on
the side of the poor people now in their
struggle for better legislation.
He made the usual drive at corpora
tions and declared that, for instance,
the C. F. & I. Co. had not paid its coal
miners in Fremont county since last
January; heuce the discontent, and
hence all corporations wore grinding.
The press of the state came in for a
roasting for abuse of himself. The
governor is out on a campaign tour as
lie wants to succeed himself or go
to the U. S. senate, he doesn't care
which, and this might be called hiß
opening speech. Before he finished
about half the people had left the hall,
no doubt greatly disappointed because
the eminont speaker did not confine
himself to a defence of his administra
tion which has been so severely
criticised instead of rehearsing the dry
matter of-fact arguments which are in
every populist stump speaker's mouth.
WOMEN IN POLITICS.
A Noted Woman Speaks to a Pueblo
Audience.
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, presidont of the
Women's National Republican associa
tion spoke at the Board of Trade Tues
day night under the auspices of the
local Women's Suffrage league. Mrs.
Foster is forty-flye years of age and lias
been on the stump for ten years. She
lived in lowa up to a few years ago
when she moved to Washington, D. C.
where she now resides. While m lowa
she took a prominent part in the prohi
bition movement She is now making
a tour of Colorado, presumedly to en
lighten the newly enfranchised female
citizens on national political questions.
The lecturer’s chief boast was of the
nationalism of the republican party as
enunciated by Hamilton and opposed
by the more democratic Jefferson. In
her mind the former was infinitely the
greater statesman, aad sbs advised the
women to follow his lead. She gave
the populists several prods and declared
she was tired of hearing them talk of
the masses being oppressed; such talk
was “perfect bosh." She denied toe,
that this is a country for rich men only,
and said that “the rich are growing
richer and the poor are growing richer,
too.”
Mrs. Foster reviewed something of
the history of the country, beginning
with the Boston tea party and brought
up the “taxation without representa
tion question and predicted that the
women of the whole country would
some day be enfranchised.
To people who keep read np on
political events the lecturer had no new
ideas to impart, but dwelt on familiar
themes. Mrs. Foster is not eloquent
nor magnetic but talks in an ordinary
sort of way.
