Pueblo will hereafter enjoy the
luxury of a building inspector at SIOO
a mouth.
Encouraging reports of fair pros
pects for crops come from all parts of
the state.
Alfalfa and fat pocket-books go
together with the ranchmen. This is a
good year for alfalfa.
Fifty thousand dollars was paid out
at the steel works last Tuesday. The
steel works and the smelters are the
mainstay of Pueblo.
Rocky Ford is going to have an
artesian well. The people of the
watermelon town are showing con
siderable enterprise these hard times.
Snow-covered Pike’s Peak indicates
cool summer weather and will be a
welcome sight to the crowds of visitors
who will llock into the Btate next week.
Tiie national republican league will
meet in Denver uext Tuesday and many
of the most noted men of the party arc
expected to be present. It will boa
great event for Denver.
Coxeyism suffered u severe setback
during the mining strike period and
will not be able to regain the promin
ence it once had. The life of any boom
these timea is ephemeral.
Not content with living in the great
silver producing state of the union.
Colorado men with enterprise and
capital are foremost among those
who are developing the rich silver re
sources of Mexico.
Bah silver continues to hold its own
> at from 62 to 64 cents an ounce, and
although it is not gaining in value it is
gaining more friends every day. Silver
is bound to be the leading issue iu the
campaign of 1806.
When newspapers refuse to adver
tise for foreign customers for one-third
the price which they chnrge local ad
vertisers they will be doing themselves
justice and at the same time bring
cheeky fake advertisers to their senses.
Sbnatou Teller, the great Bilvcr
> leader is going after the goldhug
, Rothschilds in a retaliatory manner
that counts. He is determined to raise
the tariff from 15 to 80 per cent ad
valorem on diamonds, an industry in
which the silver-hating Rothschilds are
interested to the amount of $20,000,000
And Teller has a good chance of
winning.
The rate cutting from eastern points
to Denver, date of the republican league
convention, is sure to bring large crowds
of visitors into Colorado. The rate of
$10.75 round trip from Chicago made
( by the Hanla Fe will be met by other
• roads and there is no telling where it
will stop. Colorado is indebted to the
| Manta Fe for generous reductions on
several occasions.
The finest white sandstone in the
world is quarried near Beulah but
owing to the long distance of hauling it
by wagon, thirty-live miles, it does not
pay to ship it to outside points. It
works easily under the chisel and makes
up beautifully. The quarrying aud ship
ping of this sandstone will be an im
portant industry some day when the
railroad reaches that locality.
TnE Pueblo Star having gone out of
the newspaper field," the plant has been
taken charge of by a number of unem
ployed printers and newspaper people
who have organized themselyes into a
co-operative cempany and started up
the Herald, a daily and weekly paper.
It will be run in the interests of the
twenty members who form the com
pany. The Herald is populistic in
politics.
Mrs. Helen M. Gougar, the woman
politician whom Indiana gave to the
world will begin a thirty day campaign
throughout Colorado Jnly 1 aud will
lecture under the auspices of the
Prohibition State Central Committee—
ostensibly so at least, but she is new
in Denver and talks nothing but pop
ulism. She says Mrs. J. Ellen Poster
is a fraud. Mrs. Gougar will speak in
Pueblo July 7 and 8
It was to be expected that operators
and miners at Cripple Creek would look
upon one another with mutual distrust
after the peace understanding was
entered into and the rumors now afloat
that there is trouble ahead are not to
bo wondered at. As work progresses
the feeling of unrest will give way to
one of security end the people on the
Whole win bo be too busy to Raton to
ifHolwo who will endeavor to
keep up discord. The great gold camp
is bound to see prosperity.
It looked very much at one time as
if a large portion of the Ute Indian
reservation in southwestern Colorado
would be thrown open for settlement,
the bill having passed the house of
representativeH aud was taken charge
of iu the senate by Senator Teller. Blit
for some reason or other Heuator Vilas
is taking exception to the measure and
should he persist iu his course the hill
will probably go over this session.
Colorado is not greatly excited over
the fate of the bill one way or the
other.
The Pueblo Journal which went out
of business with the coming of the llood
has resumed publication. The slow
going Chieftain gloated over the mis
fortunes of the Journal and thinking it
had downed all opposition cried in
ghoulish glee, next! The answer is not
one but two competitors, for the
Herald is also a morning paper. From
these efforts it certaiuly seems as
though the Chieftain does not occupy
the Biiurise field and that the public de
mands more enterprising journalism.
The tone of the 4th street shcot has
changed from one of disgusting boast to
a piteous whine for patronage.
It is evident that the Rev. Myron
Reed was to blame in the falling out
he had with his congregation, lie
wants to lie governor badly ami adopted
the method of raising a rumpus with
his people as an excuse for inakiug the
plunge into politics. It looks very
much, too, as if there was collusion
between himself und leading populists
opposed to governor Waite, and that by
delivering a great sympathy speech
from his pulpit in favor of the striking
miners of Cripple Creek he would
offset the governor’s popularity with
that element and make it appear that
he was fired from the big congre-
church of Denver because of
his sympathy for the industrial class.
He is slick enough to be a politican,
and will rustle hard to beat Waite for
the nomination.
The Times Look Better.
Jußt at this time when the business
depression Ib so great and there is so
much hardship on every hand it looks
like idle boast to make the statement
that there is an upward tendency iu
the industrial affairs of the country
and that a feeling of greater security
predominates the financial world than
ha 9 been known for a long time. The
tariff hill has bo shaped itself that its
passage under its present form will not
alarm the most extreme protectionist to
any great extent. The manufacturers
of the couutry who would he most
affected are starting up again as lust as
the conditions of the coal strike will
permit, and factories that have been
idle fora year or more are now spring
ing into activity.
The big coal strike, the most cx
tensive the country has ever known
has been practically settled and 200,000
more men are at work in the mines
alone than were employed a week ago
The great railroad strikes have also
been settled as have the trouble iu the
iron and steel industry, and these up
heavals being periodical the oquanimity
of these industries will surely not be
disturbed for a year at least, aud uot at
all for an indefinite future if the
country should be so fortunate as to
get proper legislation on the financial
question.
It is known that there is more cash
now bearded in the hanks of the big
money centers of the east than there
baa been for years, the impatient
millionairs have only been awaiting the
compromise of the difficulties mentioned
in this article to invest it. All Colorado
will have to do to secure the liou’s
share of it is to not indulge in any more
foolish political notions calculated to
scare capital away. The high rale of
interest and the splendid opportunities
to realize on investments are always in
ducements to bring capital, and with
safe politics it will come.
If the signs of the times prove any
thing they show an upward tendency
and only an unlooked for emergency
will causo them to collapse.
New Steel Works for Bessemer,
Alabama.
After years of waiting aud much
talking a practical business organiza
tion has been effected m Alabama for
building a large steel plant at Bessemer.
Mr. U. F. Do Bardeleben, on# of the
pioneer iron men of that state, to whose
abilities as an ironmaster great credit
is due for tbe remarkable record that is
now being made by furnaces designed
to produce 150 tons of iron a day that
are now making about 340 tons a day,
is at the head of this enterprise. Mr.
A. M. Shook, of Nashville, tenn.. also
one of tbe foremost iron men of the
south, will be one of tbe managers of
this enterprise. The Bessemer Land
A Improvement Co., which has elected
Mr. De Bardeleben piesident, has de
cided to build a steel plant with a
capacity of 800 tons of slabs and billets
per day, with a view to the output
being worked up by the
Gate City and Bessemer rolling mills.
The cost of the plant is not yet folly
known, bnt Mr. De Bardeleben write*
that they hare ample mean* with which

A Sunday Row.
An ugly row was kicked up on the
base ball grounds just south of town
last Sunday in which Harry Slater, a
steel works employe was slashed twice
across the face with a knife in the
hands of a down town negro named
George Lloyd. The assault was unex
pected aud Slater had no chance to de
fend himself. Jack O'Leary followed
Lloyd to the flats of East Pueblo and
called a hrakemnn to assist him in ar
resting the runaway. The brakeman
knocked the negro down with a coupling
pin, rendering him unconscious, and
then called the patrol wagon. Justice
Willauer is now disposing of two cases
of assault. A move in the right direc
tion would be to do away with a mixt
ure of whites and blacks in ball playing
A Humorist’s Idea of a Good Husband.
[Bill Nyo.]
The "best husband? Why! the one
who is devoted first to his wife and
children, second to his work and every
thing else. There you arc. I could
preach a sertnen on this text, but I'd
rather give an example. I've been
lecturing for ten years. Once I was
just stepping on tbe stage to greet a
big house and be funny, when I got a
telegram saying my wife was ill, and
my tour children over at New Brighton,
Staten Island, wore all sick with Bcarlet
fever. I was bound for California.
Well! A lecturer must always be
joyful, always gay and cheerful, to his
audience. I never knew how I got over
that programme; but in the morning I
broke contracts to the extent of $5,000,
and took the first swift train for home.
That man, in my opinion, was the beet
sort of husband.—From “Men Who
make the Best Husbands; Demorest’s
Magazine for July.
