There will be no fußion between
Pueblo couuty democrats and populists
noxt fall.
Senator Ed Wolcott will make a
speech in this city some time next fall
that will compel his enemies to seek
cover; and he will know who they are,
too.
What about those silver mines up at
Hardscrabble? The smelters in this
city are begging for ore and the people
would like to sco the prospectors
develop their claims
Another call for a special session of
the legislature and a few moro calls
for tho militia, and Colorado would be
bankrupt beyond hopes of redemption
for five years to come.
Street commissioner Sands' salary
has been raised by the city council
from $75 to SIOO. Why was this dene?
Will some aldarraan explain why to the
public? There may be some good
excuse for it but there are people who
would liko to know.
Governor Pennoyer slipped a cog
when he refused to run again for
governor but cast his eye up to the
state senatorial chair. lie lost his only
opportunity, for he will never be a
U. S. Senator. Will the lesson bo lost
on Davis H. Waite?
Governor Waite got so excited
when he heard how tho populists
slipped their grip in Oregon that he
got down his famous war bridle and
came near declaring all Colorado under
martial law. The air in his immediate
vicinity took on all tho colors ot the
rainbow.
Now that Rev. Myron Reed of
Denver has become so prominent in
politics he can no longer expect to
find protection from severe criticism
beneath his ministerial cloak but must
take his chances of being flayed by
his opponents along with other poli
ticians.
Let that portion of the city which
would be most benefited pay the greater
part of the expense necessary to make
proper improvements againt future
floods. It would be manifestly unjust
to tax, for instanco, a piece of property
on the mesa as much as a piece of
properly along the river valued at the
same figure. Let thoße pay who reap
the profit,
Home enemy of the west and evidently
an opponent of Senator Teller is en
deavoring to nip his presidential boom
in the bud by identifying him with the
populists, and even asserting that he
and Representative Sibley of Penn
sylvania make a possible team on the
populist ticket two years hence. This
will not harm the senator but is apt to
worry Jacob S. Coxey and James B.
Weaver.
It is well for Cripple Creek and well
for the state that the mining troubles
ended peaceably and that there is
opportunity afforded, now that two
railroads are practically running into
the camp to develop tho mines as
they should bo. Any man in the future
who attempts to make trouble, be he
deputy, miner, militiaman or private
citizen, should be promptly arrestod
and summarily dealt with. Agitators
and bad men should not be permitted
to undo what has been accomplished in
the name of peace.
Deputy Sheriff Mullins has boon
cursed loud and deep by the strikers of
Bull hill because of his rough-riding
over the camp, and many are the un
friendly criticisms of bis conduct by
those who aro arrayed on tho side of
law and order as against the insurrec
tionists. But it mußt be said that were
Sheriff Bowers possessed with Mullins’
desperate courage and remarkable
decision, the Cripple Creek war would
have been squelched in its incipisucy,
the miners would have been ahead five
month’s pay, and El Paso county and
the state saved au enormous amount of
money.
Conferences will bo held in the
east before July 1 between manu
facturers of iron and steel and repre
sentatives of the Amalgamated As
sociation with a view toward settling
on a basis of prices for tho ensuing
year. The scale as agreed upon by
the Amalgamation In convention at
Cleveland, Ohio, last month has already
been placed in the hands of the manu
facturer*. It shows that while some of
the old wages have been maintained,
jet there are numerous reduction*, the
Amalgamation having recognised the
taeonlone made In price* by non-union
Mot. The manufacturers an sUtat
[«M» wfcat they tatted to do.
Puerlo merchants should prepare
for Foster's storm the ISinst by propping
their buildings and elevating their
goods.
State Boiler Inspecter llcgwcr, the
commandcr-in chief of the Coxey home
reserves and the Itcv. W. J. Jackson,
chaplain of the same arc bound to
organize the Puoblo Coxcyites into a
body. Coal Mine Inspector Reed will
be on hand to assist next week.
Weather Prophet Foster has a great
electrical disturbance booked for the
Arkansas valley on or about uext Mon
day. He doesn't say whether it will
be wind or water or both, It is enough
for the ordinary benighted mortal to
know that there is to be a storm and to
look out for it.
It was a foregone conclusion that
Governor Levelling would secure a rc
nominntion at the huuds of the Kunsus
populists. He no doubt expects to be
re-elected on tho strength of that
tramp circular but the chances are that
the history of tho late election in
Oregon will be repeated in his case.
Union and non-union labor, under
the terms of agreement relatiye to the
Cripple Creek strike, are to be equally
employed by the mine owners. It
would not be strange, however, owing
to the partiality of Governor Waite for
the strikers that the hostility he has
engendered against them will work to
their detriment, and that tho union
miners will be scarce in the great gold
camp six months hence.
TnE question of moving up on the
mesa is still being discussed by many
merchants of the city. They realize
now that they always will be subject to
disastrous floods while they remain in
the river bottom and tho accumulated
profits of a year swept away in a day.
They know that they arc situated on
forbidden ground, beenuss many of the
best buildings are on what was once
the bed of the river, and having robbed
the water of its right of-way they al
ways will be subject to damaging over
flows, The successive floods of May
530 and Juno 5 have caused fear and
trembling, and should Foster’s predic
tions of another overflow on the ISinst
be realized the move to higher ground
will no doubt begin. It is idle to talk
about going to the north side; the
interests south of the river are too
great to ever permit that, and the set
tlement about tho steel works will
draw business this way.
Political Chips.
The Indicator can state officially
that J. B. Blackburn is not a candidate
for the legislature.
It is not improbable that Major
Townsend will be put forward as
candidate for state senator by the
populists. It will depend altogether
on the outlook whether the major ac
cepts the nomination or not.
Ex-Governor Alva Adams haß al
ways been listed in tho category of
strong democrats and surprise is there
fore occasioned when tho populists
talk of bringing him .out for governor.
It would not be so strange if ho were
mentioned as a fusion candidate.
The offico of state senator will not go
begging for candidates. Besides W.
T. Jcnnisou and D. C. Turner, both
lawyers who would accept a nomina
tion, there is William C. Slawson, night
clerk at tho Royal hotel, Jesso Mortou,
Frank Pryor’s book keeper, and D. L.
Smith, all anxious to adorn tho senate
on the republican side.
Thers are many who claim that
Mayor Strait killed himself politically
last spring because of his opposition to
consolidation, and that he stands no
snow in tho future of holding an
official position in the city. There may
or may not be something in this, but it
is more than likoly that the mayor is
already in training for a county office,
and furthermore that the said county
offico is that of shrievalty. It de
pends la a large degree upon how lie
gets along with his friends in the mean
time but ho will take his chances with
those who would liko to be successor
to Sheriff Moses.
THE TERMS OF SETTLEMENT.
The Agreement Under Which the
Cripple Creek Mines are Being
Reopened.
County Commissioner Boynton, Gen
eral Brooks and a number of tbs mine
owners agreed upon tho following terms
of compromise in addition to tho agree
ment entered into between Messrs.
Hagermau and Moffat and Governor
Waite which will govern the opening
up of the mines at Cripple Creek:
First—The deputies to be withdrawn
Second—The mines to bo put in tbs
peaceable possession of tho owners.
Third—Military protection to be
afforded mines sod miners.
Fourth—Troops to remain thirty days
at least, end longer if necessary in the
opinion of the commanding general.
Fifth—Miners to {deliver up all arms
in their possession, also personal
property belonging to other persons or
taken from the mines.
Sixth—Troops to be stationed at
Cripple Creek, Victor and Anaconda.
Seventh—Pereona for whom the
sheriff tee or may have warrants ta he

arrested and turned over to the sheriff
at Colorado Springs.
In addition to these provisions Gov
ernor Waite .added that wholesale ar
rests should not bo made, and that not
more than twenty-five strikers be tried
at any one time. It is probable that
the strikers will ask for a change of
venue from Colorado Bprings to either
Pueblo or Denver which will be granted
They will be tried for murder, assault
with intent to murder, wilful destruc
tion of property and grand larceny.
The Responsibility for the Coal Riots.
The preßß dispatches are full of news
of riot and bloodshed, of moving
military, of train capture and bridge
burning and threatened dynamiting—
all the outcome of the desperate spirit
that pervades the aanka of starving
mine Btrikers. In the public prints
President Mcßride counsels abstinence
from violence, and apparently recognizes
that rioting will lose the strikers nil the
sympathy that the public bad been so
free to express. But Mr. Mcßride can
not escape the responsibility for the
incendiary disposition that is now
rampant.
The man who sets forces in motion,
and for a time controls them, cannst
say, when his control is gone, by
reason of the terrific momentum at
tained, that he is no longer responsible.
The leader of 200,000 strikers, des
perate through destitution, cannot be
ignorant, with all the history of such
struggles before him, of what will
inevitably come. President Mcßride
has prolonged this struggle, obstinately
and unreasonably, after he knew that
a settlement could be had in more than
half the districts involved. At the con
ference of miners in Columbus last
Tuesday, both himself and Secretary
Mcßryde, if the dispatches are correct,
stoutly opposed to the last proposition,
finally adopted, permitting of district
settlements.
There never was any warrant for the
position taken by the leaders of the
strike, that no settlement must be bad
unless the operators, willing to pay the
price, brought to terms other operators,
who not only would not pay the ad
vance but would not treat with the
miners’ organization under any con
sideration. Tho whole country has
been made to suffer and tens of thou
sands of men, in no wuy connected
with the Btrike, have been deprived of
wages because of this inexcusable and
outrageously wrong position.
As it looks to-day. with public
sentiment alienated, by their campaign
of violence and destruction, and with a
concession reluctantly forced from
their officers, that should have been
made willingly a month ago, the miners
stand to get less out of the district
settlement than would have been
possible at any time since the strike
began. And whatever may bo gamed
is far more than offset by loss of life
and property, aDd by hundreds of
thousands in wages, which now, of all
times in their lives, the strikers and the
thousands they have thrown out of
work can least afford to lose.—lron

AT THE GRAND.
“LADY WILDEMBUE’S FAN"
There is no doubt but that in “Lady
Wildcmere's Fan to be presented at tho
Grand opera house June 20, our theatre
goers will got what was really tho most
successful play of the past year iu New
York and Londsu. It has been spoken
of in tbo theatrical world as tho most
brilliant society skit sinco Sheridan
scored in his time in “The School for
Scandal” Wilde has followed the lead
of Jones and Pinero in trying to teach
a lesson while amusing his audience.
The lesson of the play is, that a hus
band is never wise in decciying*his wife
even with the best of intentions. The
wife is sure to find out that she is bo
ing deceived, aud her suspicions may
lead to far worse troubles than tho
whole truth would have brought about.
With all its amusing, witty talk, this
lesson is most vividly taught.
Tho moral of the play is, “Let ho
that tliinkoth ho standeth tako hoed
lest ho fall.”

How We Waste Our Substance.
An American who has lived for sev
eral years In China has this to say
about our national extravagance:
“What tho American family throws
away would keep a European family
from starving and would feed a Chi
nese or Japanese family. “Look at
this,” and he produced a cylinder of
bronze as largo as a ‘plug’ hat. “Here
Is a Chinese stove, or ovon. With
four or flvo piecos of charcoal a Mon
golian will mako tea and cook rloe
and eggs over that,whilo an American
domestio would use at least a hod of
soal in tho same operation.
The Hairs of the Head Numbered.
“Dr. Wilsoth a well known English
authority,” remarks the New York
Herald, “says that the average num
ber o* hairs to the sqnare inch on m
human scalp is abont 1,000, and the
whole number of hairs on the scalp of
tn adult Is in the neighborhood of
120,000. Dr. Walneyer asserts that he
counted, In the space of a quarter of
an Inch, on the crown of a man's head,
