Local politics have dropped out of

"With leading citizens of Chicago and
Denver interested in Florence what is
to hinder its coming to the front?"—
Florence Oil Refiner. Noting, if that
enterprising little town continues to
have plenty of strikes—that is the
strikes that strike the oil.
If some people had their way the
government would own everything and
everybody would be dependent upon it
for the necessities of life. The con
vict who works on a rock pile gets as
much and yet ho cannot be said to be
happy. This is aiming rather low.
General Tnrsney is willing to make
the race for congress, vice J. C. Bell,
and to pacify that gentleman would
run him for governor. That would be
finding holes for two pegs, but wliat
about Waite and Reed? Tarsney seems
to be overlooking bis best friends.
The Times Sun now takes the place
of the Times and Sun of Denver. The
publishing company is composed of
strong republicans who will make the
interests of the republican party
identical with those of the Btate. The
Tiiaes-Sun is n first-class newspaper.
Presidents Lincoln and Garfield of
the United States, and President Car
not of France were all kindly rulers
and firm friends of the masses, and yet
they died at the hands of assassins. A
strange fatality seems to await truly
good statesmen when they eater on the
throne of a ruler.
The labor strikes and the tronblo
nnd hardships incident thereto makes
it all the more apparent that there arc
t'»o many day laborers in the factories,
on the railroads and in the cities and
too few farmers. The fanner is the
most prosperous and contented man in
the land toduy and there is room for
many more.
One year ago tho 5 Inst several
Pueblo banks closed and in spite of
adverse times and predictions to the
contrary they all reopened their doors
nnd have redeemed themselves in the
estimation of the peoplo. The Western,
the Central and the American Nationnl
banks lmvc proven to be sound institu
tions nnd will live through the hard
times.
Colorado lias just passed through a
singular year of its history, a year full
of bank failures, strikes, riots, floods
and fires and excitement enough for
war times. Added to this the business
ups and downs and the political hub
bub and there is presented perhaps the
strangest year in the history of the
state. The noise and fury of the state
administration has not tended to allay
the excitement, nor has the calling out
of the militia on several occasions
made the trouble any less.
It looks strange that the Pullmans
had to cut down tho wages of their
employes in order to save themselves,
and then immediately make a quarterly
2 per cent dividend to the stockholders
of the company. The two circum
stances do not compare favorably for
the greedy company and there is littlu
public symathy expressed for the con
cern. A little more generouslty on
their part and a spirit of fairness iu
being willing to arbitrate the trouble
with its employes would have saved the
country from the great railroad strike.
Government ownership of the rail
roads might work all right for a time
but the principle is wrong because it
would be an encroachment In the
domain of private enterprise. It would,
if pursued vo any great extent, not
only put a check on ambition, which
would in itsolf be a great misfortune,
but the centralization of the govern
ment could easily enough be made a
most dangerous thing in the bands of
dishonest and disloyal men and the
consequences would be disastrous to
the welfare of the country. The fewer
public dependents the hotter. That is
the American spirit of it and that is
the spirit of ambitious and snterpris
tng men everywhere.
Juer to illastnvte the peculiar con
•lttccnUut are mixed *pi* the recent
turmoil we will cite an instance wo arc
credibly informed about. The super
intendent or manager of the iron mines
east of Villa Grove recently went to
Pueblo to hire some of tho men out
of work at that place and complaining
that they and their families were on
ti»e point of starvation lie secured
sixty-five of them and proceeded to the
mine. When he reached Villa Grove
where the road branches to the mines
he had thirty men left whom he took
on up with him. Four days afterwards
there were just eight men left out of
the sixty-five originally hired. Com
ment is unnecessary.—Alamosa Inde
pendent-Journal.
The good effect of strikes is in
variably destroyed by a few impulsive
aud rat tie-brained individuals who arc
not content unless they arc doing
mischief, thinking abuse of personal
rights and the destruction of property
the means by which they expect to gain
their ends. But no sooner is violence
offered than the civil powers bring to
tbeir aid state and federal authority,
the cause of the strikers brought into
disrepute aud their cause lost. The
primary lesson for strikers to learn is
that violence can never win. and that
the hot headed clement within their
ranks arc their worst enemies. The
stopping of the U. S. mail at Trinidad
and the rough handling of trains ut
Pueblo are responsible for the presence
of deputies at both places, and the
rough usage of the deputies is re
sponsible for the calling out of the
regular soldiers to both points. A
peaceful policy only can win in a time
of peace.
The Lainar Sparks, a democratic
paper and a sympathizer with the pop
ulists is grooming Representative J. C
Funderburgh for a rc-elcction. This
i# strange, considered from the stand
point that the Hon. J. C. was olected
two years ago by the republican voters
of the triple alliance, viz, the powers of
Kiowa, Baca and Prowers counties.
The Sparks says editorially: "Uis
candidacy is regurded ns presumptuous
by some of the republican patriots of
Prowers county who arc willing to be
come candidates, and by whom Mr.
Funderburgh was formally excom
municated from the party Beveral
months ago for daring to speak kindly
of Governor Waite." Mr. Funderburg
is the school teacher who clamored so
loudly for tho extra session of the
assembly “if only to rebuke the
newspapers of the elate for the great
injury" they did the state in criticising
the populist administration. Tho re
publicans of his district owe a duty to
themselves.
The great daily papers of Denver
have at last been aroused to a sense of
their foolishness in making such greatly
reduced rates in the price of subscrip
tion—rates that were proving dis
astrous to the business of the vnrious
publishing companies, nnd it was only
a matter of time until they would be
ruined. It is different in cities of 300,
000 and over, but in Denver where the
population is only half that, and where
the papers depend largely upon their
subrenptions for a living they could
not hold out at the low rates. At last
by the sale of the Sun aud Times to a
□cw company they nrc enabled to enter
into a business agreement whereby
they can conic out whole and continue
to publish first-class newspapers. The
rates by mail adopted by the three
papers are as follows: News and Re
publican, 57.50 per year; 53.75 for six
months; 51-00 for three months; one
month, sixty-five cents. The Times,
55 per year; 53.50 for six months; 51.25
for three months; one month, fifty cents
GEonoE M. Pullman is a very un
popular man today not only with his
employes but with wage earners and
almost everybody else, lie owns a
town, refusing to sell any part to others
and endeavors to own all who work for
him. grinding them down by starva
tion wages until they rebelled. This
very aristocratic gentleman is un-
Amorican and unsympathetic with his
employes, lie and his company have
taken great advantage of the patent
right laws of the United Stntes, and
have grown rich and arrogant by the
proceeds of their sleepers. The rail
roads are bound by contract to pull
the sleepers, and now the Pullman
company sits back and laughs at the
ruined condition of the commerce of
the country caused by the strike. But
when the strike is over public opinion
will hold that greedy company largely
responsible for the distraction of trade
and demand of them that they treat
their employes fairly; and the Pullman
company must do it.

PUEBLO, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 7,1894.
Semi-Monthly Pay Law Unconsti
tional.
The Ohio Supreme Court decided on
June 19 that the semi-monthly pay law
is unconstitutional. The casc was
made in Cuyahoga county, the Lake
Erie Iron Co., Cleveland, having been
indicted in September. 1801, for re
fusing to comply with the law. The
Supreme Court sustained the contention
that the law is an interference with the
right of contract, and by prescribing the
mode and time of payment leaves no
option to the parties making contracts
of employment and makes payment iu
any other manner than that prescribed
iu the act a criminal offense. It was
argued that an employe might prefer to
have his wages paid once a mouth or
might he paid by receiving a share of
the profits of the business, or might
even want his wages to accumlatc.—
Iron Trade Rcyiew.
Deputies Leave Town.
U. S. deputies kept coming into town
all week until there were upwards of
150 gathered at the stone depot of the
Santa Fc and at the Gulf depot. Their
presence caused not a little annoyance
to the men out on a strike and some of
their sympathizers and couila is with
citizens were on several occasions
narrowly averted.
It seemed useless that the deputies
should all remain while the two com
panies of regular troops were already
here nnd Marshal Israel therefore with
drew all hut about 25 Thursday night.
These ho left to make all necessary
arrests and the regular soldiers will
look after the protection of the Santa
Fe nnd the U. P. roads now in the
hands of rcccivejs.
The Situation.
Unless the engineers go out on a
strike there cun be but on* result of
the railroad strike—defeat. The engi
neers form a distinct order from all
other branches of the A. R. U. and
there is nn unkind feeling existing be
tween them which more than anything
else prevents the engineers from giv
ing in.
But the strange part of it is that the
A. R. U. did not know whether or not
the engineers would go out with them
before they ordered the general strike.
It certainly was a great mistake in
President Debs and the executive com
mittee of the A. II. U. With the
engineers out everything would nec
essarily be tied up.
Now while the fight is hotcat the
government steps in and virtually
issues the following ultimatum which
comes from Washington in the way of
a newpaper dispatch:
“The authoiities are fully determined
to enforce the laws and punish those
who violutc them, and so far as the
national government is concerned,
there will be no compromises and no
temporizing. The present strike is re
garded as a hold definnee of the laws of
the court and a criminal infringment of
the rights of the people of the whole
country.”
However much the strikers and
their friends may object to such a stand,
still it is the voice of the government
and it looks as though it would lay a
strong hand on all who interfere with
ronds in the hands of receivers.
A few more days will suffice to turn
the title one way or the other.
WHERE GUITEAU'S BODY LIES.
Deputy Wnrtlnn Russ Tells of Its Burial
I'ndir the Laundry Floor.
Tho general improsslon that the
skcloton of Guitcau, President Gar
fiold’s assassin is on exhibition in a
medical museum, which has boon in
exiatonco ovor sinco his death, has
beon romovod by the statement of
Deputy Warden Russ of tho District
jail. Ho says:
For a long timo prior to tho execu
tion stronuous offorts wero mado to
ascertain whoro Guitcau wa9 to bo
buried. Porsons acting in the in
terest of rosurroctioni9tß. both thoso
who wantod tho body for dissection
as woll as sovcral ontorprising dime
m iseum proprietors, industriously
quostionod ovoryono whom it was
thought possossed tho slightest know
ledge. In ordor to obviato any legal
difficulties that might arise, it was
decidod that Guiteau should make a
will bequeathing his body to Dr.
Hicks. It was decided to bury the
body in tho jail. The night of the
hanging, aftor tho autopsy, tho body
remained in tho cheap coffin in tho
ohapel of tho jail.
Upon my arrival at tho jail early
on tho Saturday morning following
tho oxocution I socured a couple of
••trusties” aud proceeded to the little
laundry-room, dimly lighted by a
small barred grating and almost an
ideal tomb. Tho two amateur gravo
dlggors, quiokly romovlng tho floor
ing, dug a grave sufficiently deep.
By tho tlmo tho body had been
brought down from the chapel Dr.
Hicks arrived to oonduot tho funeral
services. Thoro was only a small
party that stood about tho open
grave and listened to the solemn
reading of the burial service. Gen
eral Crocker, who was the warden,
was present, and, I believe, Charlio
Reed, tho lawyer who assisted in
Gulteau's defenso, besides several of
the guards and tho two prisoners
who dug tho gravo. It was a weird
scene and ono I shall never forget.
There was no particular compact
mado as to secreoy among us, but it
seemod to bo generally understood
that we would maintain sllenoo, es
pecially as there was considerable
excitement at the time. The story
that the body had been secretly re
moved to the medloal museum was
permitted to go uncontradloted be

ONE-WHEELED SULKY.
Vb» Invention of » Californian Who
Looks for Ills UnrcMf With It.
Captain Alphons B. Smith, a pio
neer of San Doigo. CaL, is the in
ventor of a ono-wheelod sulky which
apparently is a success. Somo years
ago he conceived the idea that tho
timo of a horso on a race course
would bo materially reducod if In
stead of tho two-wheol sulky a
one-wheel cart could bo used, and
ho forthwith sot to deviso a vehicle
which would suit the purpose, lio
fools conildont that at last ho has
succeeded in invonting somothing
which fully rcalizos his brightest
hopes, and somothing, too, which Is
destined to como into very general
use throughout tno world. Tho axlo
of the cart is mado in two pioces,
and is bo arrangod that the wheel
turns very readily In any direction
tho horse can possibly pursue. At
tached to tho shafts, near whoro they
moot the axlo, are stirrups designed
to steady tho rider in his position on
tho cart. Made for ordinary road
uso one of theso vehicles weighs
olghty-sevon pounds, but when de
signed for uso on tho raco course
the unicylo. as somo havo called It.
may bo constructed so as to woigh
only thirty-two pounds. Ono was
recently manufactured at San Diego
entirely of aluminum, tho weight bo
ing a triflo loss than thirty-two pounds
and tho vohlclo boing strong and
handsomo. Arthur M. Plato Is Gap
tain Smith's partner in business. Mr.
Plato said to a San Francisco Examin
er man: "Captain Smith perfocted
the several putonts last Juno, and
he and I are preparing to introduco
it to tho public. No, it isn’t truo
that a balance wheol goes with each
cart The driver isn’t in a bit of
dangor of being tipped over. The
cart can’t bo overturned unless tho
horso falls, and the motion Isn't
jerky. Wo will drive tho two-whool
pneumatic from tho track. Why?
Woll, because it minimizes friction,
and theroforo admits of greater speed.
The experiments thus far mado on
raco courses loavo no room for doul*
that tho ono-wliool cart is certain of
popularity among turfmen.’’ Tho in
ventor is sanguine that before
another year has rolled away hun
dreds of his unicyclos will bo used
in San Francisco and hundrods more
throughout tho interior of California,
especially in the mountainous dis
tricts.
