The sooner the dagoes, the Slava,

perhaps the better for them.

All France is mourning over the
loss of President Carnot, murdered by
a bloodthirsty auarcliist assassin.
There is just the least consolation in
the thought that the assassin can come

that his head will roll Into a basket in
a very short time.
Franklin McVeagh, one of the
owners of the Colorado Trading Co.
store of this city was nominated for U.
8. senator by the democratic state con
ventson of Illinois Wednesday. Mr.
McVeagh is a wonderfully public
spirited man and very popular with his
party. Ho is a bimetallist.
Governor Waite is at it again. He
has issued another order to Warden
McLister through his new hoard of
penitentiary commissioners to get out,
but Mac says he won’t. Between this
Canon City muddle and his threat to
place Colorado Springs under martial
law, bis most excllent excellency will
manage to keep the temperature in his
office at blood beat for some time.
Ba9INo the salaries of the presi
dential postmasters upon the receipts
of the offices last year, the salaries of
the p. m's in moßt all the Colorado
cities have been reduced. The salary
of the Pueblo postmaster is cut down
from SB,IOO to SB,OOO, this city being
second in the state in point of revenue
with Colorado Springs a close third,
Denver, of course, leads the list.
Colorado Springs suffered a dis
grace when General Tarsney was tarred
and feathered. No matter how officios
or obnoxious Tarsney had become, he
should be treated as a public official
and endured for the short remainder of
his term. The men who so brutally
maltreated him should ho hunted down
and delivered up to justice. They are
outlaws and deserve punishment.
Tiie Continental Oil Co. has an eye
to business in its contemplated move
to Bessemer, as related elsewhere in
these columns. Not only is it seeking
high ground, but by locating west of
the steel works it will be close to the
railroad tracks where a spur can bo
easily run out. If It located on the
mesa the track would necessarily be
costly, if indeed one were built, on ac
count of the expense of the right-of
way through valuable property, or if
goods wero hauled by dray the cost
would be enormous. These are seriouß
drawbacks for the meßa for business
purposes.
Only a short time ago when a large
portion of Pueblo was submerged talk
was plenty of a move to the mesa, but
as predicted in these columns at the
time the discussion will result iu noth
ing. It is true that soma ware houses
are moving to Santa Fe avenue and to
Bessemer, but the merchants are set
tling back into tlieir old locations ready
to be baptised again. This is all right,
but it is altogether too bad that the
old rookeries ou south Union avenue
which were washed away have been
hauled back to their former locations,
an eyesore to the public, tha rickety
ruined old ramshackles. These are the
curse of south Pueblo.
Ike Stevens said in a speech at
Denver a few davs ago that the Bull
hill men are angels in comparison with
the crowd at Colorado Springs who
gave countenance to the outrage on
Gen. Tarsney. If this were true devils
should be pitied. If Mr. Stevens
wanted to be fair about the matter he
would bave listed the scoundrels who
blowed up tho Htreng shaft, driving one
poor fellow crazy from fright and
nearly murdering the whole outfit,
with the outlaws who actually tarred
and feathered Tarsney. And then he
weald have said that because tha Bull
kill fiends were sheltered and protected
by Waite and Tarsney, therefore the

bringing the Tarsney tormentors to
justice. These men can not be too
severely condemned, but Ike Stevens
falls down when he attempts to make
comparisons,
Socialism is but amild form of
anarchism, and anarchists are tho mud
clogs of the human race. Under cover
of championing the cause of the
masses against what they call the
oppression of capital they undermine
the stability of government by preach
lug lawlessness and destruction. An
archy has Europe by the throat and is
wending its insidious way into this
country to an alarming )extent. It will
be found out to u certainlty that the
assassination of the president of the
French republic was not the doings of
one man, but that he is a member of
a murderous gang of nnnrcliists in
league with the devil to whose lot it
fell to do the terrible deed. The
organization of such societies will fol
low in this country, if indeed they do
already exist, and the livc9 of a number
of the leading men of the nation have
been marked. France and the United
States, as well as every other country,
should pass laws punishing not only
such assassins but their immediate
associates with death. It is better to
rid the world of such mad dogs than to
permit them to run at large endanger
ing the lives of good citizens. It is
humanity to do so.
The boys don’t keep up. That they
don't average intellectually with the
eirls or else that they are lazier i 9
demonstrated in a number of school
exercises held in this and various sur
rounding towns of late. It is a fact
worthy of note that of the 21 pupils of
the Pueblo schools who graduated a
short time ago, 17 were girls and
only 4 were boys. Curiously enough at
the same time 21 pupils took part in
the commencement exercises at La
Junta and of these only 5 were boys.
Las Animas turned out 5 girls nnd uot
a solitary boy Bliowed up. Conced
ing the physiological point that a boy’s
mind and body matures more slowly
than a girl’s, and to that extent they
are at a disadvantage, still the natural
perversity and deviltry of the boys is
given too much play in the towns aud
they are whetting their minds on the
knowledge of the street, loafing about
the corners and perhaps smoking
cigarettes, while their better trained
Bisters are going to school nnd studying
at home besides. The figures given
above show that more than four girls
reach a given point in education than
is attained by one boy. Here is a
problem for parents nnd educators to
solve.

PUEBLO, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 30,1894.
THE COAL STRIKE.
Second Chapter of its History now Being
Made.
The coal strike in Colorado is not
settled by any means, and indeed if the
signs of the times prove anything they
go to show that the reul trouble has
only begun.
The refusal of the operators to
meet with the coal miners in their con
vention at this place last week has
greatly incensed the latter and they
are leaving nothing undone to cripple
the operators. Already the result is
secu in the actions of the companies
the last few days. The C. F. «fc I. Co.
has chopped off the sale of any more
coal by its local agents and hereafter
until harmony is restored all the coal
from their mines will he treasured up
to supply their locomotives aud the
steel works.
It is claimed by the strikers of the
southern district that they can induce
the coal miners of the northern district
to join with them and thus cause a
great coal famine, stopping the factories
and the running of trains in the state,
and that none shall bo allowed to
operate the mines.
It is known, however, that men are
being imported, into the coal fields
south of here and that it is the in
tention of the companies to protect
them. The miners claim to have 1,000
Winchesters at hand and that no “scab”
laborers can take their place. Em
boldened by the recent history of Bull
hill, they naturally look upon Governor
Waite as an ally, and depend upon tha
assistance of the state militia. State
Coal Mine Inspector Reed is with tha
strikers.
None can foresee the result of the
strike, hut its effect on business will
naturally he hurtful. Each side thinks
.itself right and neither talks of making
concessions.
Tied Up.
The effect of the boycott on the
Pullman sleepers is far reaching iu its
effects, extending to every road where
these cars were handled by contract.
Employes positively refused to have
anything to do with trains to which
the Pullmans were attached and travel
has been greatly interrupted. The
Santa Fe is particularly unfortunate.
At La Junta it issued order alter order
to about forty of its employes to move
the trains and they were promptly dis
charged upon refusal to do so. where
upon a general strike was ordered on
that road, the A. R. U. of Pueblo tak
ing the leading part.
Sheriff Moses and deputies were
unable to protect the rights of the
company, and cars were uncoupled and
trains left standing on the track.
Ticket Agent F. B. Seawnght of the
Santa Fe declares it the intention of
the road to not give in one point to the
strikers, and it now transpires that
Circuit Judgo Caldwell has warned em
ployes to either work or quit, that the
Santa Fe is in the hands of receivers
and no interference will be tolerated.
The men must do one thing or the
other he says, work or quit, and that
force will be used if necessary to en
force the order of the court. This will
evidently break the strike and trams
will move out of Pueblo in two days.
The public while holding that the
Santa Fe is made to suffer unreasonably,
yet there is little sympathy for the
greedy Pullmans who have grown fat
off the people and wno it is believed
can afford to pay their employes better
wages.
Yesterday at noon a general tie-up or
strike was made on the Rio Grande, the
second in its history The employes
asked President Jefferey to cut out the
Pullmans LIo replied that he would do
as he pleased about it, and the strike
was declared on A few days of the
strike and the steel works must close
down
