Welcome, Utah, to the sisterhood
of slates, with her two now silver
senators. And now for Arizona and
New Mexico.
Should another riot break out in
Chicago Michael StruckofT, Giavoni
Stabahart and Anton .Jagowiski will be
reasonably sure to get hurt.
Mobocuacy can not take refuge
under cover of state rights. It is
wonderful what a twist these personal
rights fellows can give to the constitu
tion.
Governor Waite is now occupying a
Very ifangcrous position and unless ho
keeps control over the unruly member
President Cleveland might put him
where be put Juke Coxey.
Can not this senatorial district send
some one to the next general assembly
to succeed Frank Pryor who is a states
man and a man of acknowledged ability?
Pueblo needs good men at (he front.
Chairman Hubbard of the hoard of
county commissions is before the peo
ple for another term. llis past actions
as a faithful and elllcicnt public otlicial
arc his best rccomcndation. and a re
nomination and rcelection arc his by
right of merit.
The federal power is mighty and is
broader in its scope than the average
citizen was led to believe. The
supremacy of states rights died with
the winding up of the civil war. and
none know it better at this moment
than Governors Altgeld and Waite.
The country needs more legislation
by congress ou questions that vitally
concern the business of the people and
less political wire pulling. The dis
pute between capital and labor must of
necessity be one of the leading ques
tions to engage the attention of the
next congress.
The rending public was not surprised
to learn that Anton Kocmisski, Tony
Gajcvyski, Joseph Szcepauski, and John
Kernbcrg were nmong the rioters in
Chicago who were kiiled by the soldiers
Everybody knew that if a law-defying
mob got together these individuals
would be found in it.
Grover Cleveland put an end to the
dispute us to how far federal authority l
can reach when he issued his martial
law manifesto. The manifesto is not
arhitiary; it is not unjust. If. simply
means peace first and a settlement of
business affairs afterward. The safety
of the government lies in this (tower.
The uneasiness on Bull hill, the
pursuit of the tormcnlois of General
Tarsney, the fate of the followers of
J. S. Coxey and the coining August
Hood have all been lost sight of in
Colorado since the inauguration of the
railroad strike. Important public events
follow one another fuHt and furiously
Government ownership of every
thing is the favorite idea of all populists
Railroads in the hands of receivers are
practically in tho hands of the govern
ment, and now that Uncle Sum Inis
called out the federal soldiers to protect
his property the populist party should
accept the situation gracefully instead
of making such loud complaint.
Foil every car burned In Chicago and
elsewhere tho strikers lost a point in
the settlement of the trouble in their
favor. True, the chances arc that all
the mischief was done by violent out
siders but as it was done under cover
of the strike the strikers had to henr
the consequences. Thus it is that the
lawless clement is a curse to everything
and to everybody.
It can he said without contradiction
that four-fifths of the people of this
country are with the masses of the
laboring people as against corporations
and monopolies in any legitimate con
test to secure better wnges. It is only
natural that it should be so because
this is a country where everybody is
supposed to work and the interest of
one is common to all.
At a picnic of anarchists held in
Chicago yesterday, it was dcclarod that
the strike could not bo won except by
the torch and gun. This is not the
sentiment of American workingmen.
The right of labor to fair wagos can bo
secured by other means, while an
archists with guns and torches in
hands should be promptly shot down.—
Rocky Meuntain News.
Congress could legislate on the ra
ktlea eC capital te labor without re
abundant opportunities for investment
even if a low-wage mark were defined
by nutioual law. No delay should be
lost in directing legislation in this
channel.
As u general tiling tlje force of the
strike is over, and while the trouble is
spreading to some new localities it is
only in spots, and the resumption of
railroad traillc will be speedy. The
sympathy strike of other labor organ
izations will not affect the roads to any
great extent, and President Debs is
only talking for poiuts when he says
that f.be strike bus only gotten a good
start.
The railroad strike is off in Pueblo
notwithstanding the hostile uttitude of
the Santa Fe and U. P. employes. It is
questionable if they can be reinstated
even though the rouds would be willing
to take them buck, owing to a ruling
governing the actions of employes of
rouds in the bands of u receiver, und
therefore they lose nothing by making
u show of light. The D. & It. G.
strikers have laid down their arms and
all whose places have not been filled
have returned to work.
There has been some talk going
nboulof an attempt which was to have
been made or is to be made of destroy
ing the steel works by dynamite or lire.
If any such declaration was made it
emanated from some irresponsible crank
whose proposition will have no weight
with the respectable workingmen. The
steel workers as a rule are peaceable,
Inwabiding citizens and would be more
likely to deliver such un incindcary
crank up to justice than to contenuncc
an}' such action. It will be a good
tiling for the laboring classes wlicu the
violent element is rooted out.
THE BESSEMER SALOONS.
An Opportunity to do Away With the
Notorious Row of Grog Shops on
Cedar Street. Act This Hour.
If the good people living in the
vicinity of the saloons on Cedar street
arc really dcsirious of doing away with
these dram shops, situated as they arc
in the heart of the residence portion of
Bessemer, now is their golden oppor
tunity to act. nnd a strong pull and a
(>ull all together is what is required.
The half-yearly license has expired
and the saloon keepers have petitioned
the council for a renewal of the same.
On advice of the city attorney the
matter was referred to a committee
consisting of Aldermen Wartenbce,
Bruner and McGregor with power to
The Indicator has taken the pains
to mnkc an investigation into the status
of affairs and finds that the said com
mittee will meet this afternoon at -1:30
o'clock at the olllcc of City Attorney
Nicholns in the Central block for the
purpose of discussing the question und
deciding on the course to pursue.
One day this week the city attorney
and Messrs Bruner nnd Wartcubee of
the committee took a trip out Ibis way
and surveyed the infested neighbor
hood. Alderman McGregor was not in
town at the time.
These gentlemen enunot but be im
pressed with the feeling that the
saloons are entirely out of place among
tho homes of many of the people and
in the vicinity of the churches, and no
doubt feel morally obligated to refuse
a renewal of the licenses, but unless
the people express by petition and by
their actual presence at the meeting of
the committee their disapproval ot the
saloous the committee might be led
astray, mistaking the inactivity of the
people for nil indifference in the matter.
Therefore, there should be a good
representation of those opposed to the
saloons present at the meeting nnd use
their influence and moral suasion
against the continual ion of tho hated
row. It is u shame that such resorts
are permitted to flourish in the midst
of homes where women arc unwilling
listeners to the brawls within, and
whero children are permitted to sec
men under the influence of liquor.
The Indicator adds its protest
agninst a renewal of the licenses and
asks the city attorney and the com
mittee on ordinances and license to
assist the people of Bessemer in pro
serving the moral influence of their
homes.
With Felonious Intent.
Tho coroner's jury decided that the
deputy marshnl, It. E. Taylor, shot
John H. Loach the bartender with
felonious intent. Readers will re
member that this is the killing that
took place the morning of the sth inst
in George Btumpf’s saloon on south
Union avenue. Whether or not it will
be shown in court that the deputy shot
his victim in self defense, certain it is
that he had no business in Stumpfs
saloon at midnight or any other time,
.especially when tho owner refused to
sell him liquor.
Some prowling incendiary burned a
Union Psciflc freight car and badly
damaged two on a switch to the Eller
smelter last Saturday night. No doubt
he thought be would help along the
•trike by destroying so much capital.

PUEBLO, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 14,1894.
The President’s Proclamation.
The proclamation of President Clcvc
land does not declare martiul law. It
does not authorize the usurpation of
civil authority by the military. It does
not interfere with the peaceable hold
ing of meetings. audit will not inter
fere with the liberties of all well mean,
ing men. It simply says to the
citizens in the territory covered by it,
'beware of congregating in mobs, do no
violence and desist from offering any
resistance to the operations of the mail
service of the United States.’ It is a
friendly warning to the public, nothing
more, nothing less. Good men need
not fear that their rights will be
trampled upon, but rather preserved,
while men who arc overstepping the
boundaries of law and good govern
ment are cautioned to be careful.
The railroad men who are out on a
strike and who keep within tlic pule of
the law will find their cause aided nnd
abetted by many who would abhor it
if violent men were permitted to ply
unchecked the unholy pastime of
intimidation, plunder and destruction.
The cause may already be lost, but it
has more friends today than if the
scenes of incendiarism at Chicago and
elsewhere were permitted to go on.
and go on they would if the strong
build of the military did not offer its
protection, for President Debs, no
matter how good bis intention, could
not check the mad acts of the rough
element.
President Cleveland acted on the
premises that tlie welfare of the public
is parummint to privntc gains or class
gains, and in this lie is upheld by the
masses of the people affected by his
proclamation.
The American people are unac
customed to feeling the force of the
federal law and imtuially chafe under
restraint, beside feeling humiliated at
being placed us it were under the ban
of the government, conveying the idea
of disloyalty or lawlessness or both,
but time will heal the wound. The
President acted wisely in checking
trouble by adopting the method of
using a preventative.
THE ROAD TO VINELAND.
A Fair Country Where Prosperity and
Plenty Smiles.
From Pueblo to Vineland and on the
road thereto and beyond, covering per
haps a distance of fifteen miles, there
lies a fair prosperous couutry well
farmed, with good crops, good houses
nml burns, and thriving young orchards
that bespeak the industry of the farmer
and the possibilities of tho soil in this
section of the country.
A drive nloug this highway reveals
the result of only a few year’s work
and shows 4 what may be expected of
Vineland country m the future. Im
mense Holds of alfulfa stretch away in
every direction, and the observer is not
a little surprised to see a few fields of
corn as healthful looking as one would
expect to sec in a pronounced corn
country. The late heavy rains have
had much to do with this but the
general tine appearaucc of the corn
Helds is due in a greater degree to the
irrigation ditches.
On every band there are acres of
garden lands and, fertilized by the
water from the ditches, the beans,
pease, parsnips, onions, cabbage, let
tuce, tomatoes, squash, watermelon
und muskmelons grow luxuriously,
while large young oichards are thrifty
and growing rapidly.
This is out ou the open prairie and
high above (lie rich garden tracks on
the river bottom below where gardening
has been going on among the settlers,
largely the Mexican element, for many
years. There, too, prosperity is sinil
ingon the dcligcnt tillers of the soil
and their work goes on regardless of
strikes and disturbances in the large
cities.
It would be a blessing for thousands
of others who could get a start in
farming to cast their lot among the
farmers of Vineland,
Hold for Murder.
Thomas Cox. the murderer of Ed
ward Shaffer lmd his preliminary hear
ing before Justice Willaucr Monday
afternoon und was held on the charge
of murder, the court refusing nn ap
plication for bail. Cox was remanded
into tlic sheriff's custody to stniul trial
in the district court. The murderer is
a worthless, dissolute character and
the court did right in holding him.
Three saloon keepers on Cedar street
applied to the city council Monday
night for a renewal of liquor licenses,
and on advice of City Attorney Nicholas
the council decided to go slow in the
matter. The application was referred
to the committee on ordinances and
license with power to net, said com
mittee comprising Aldermen Wartcnbee,
McGregor and Bruner. Now is the
time for the people living in the vicinity
of these saloons to get in their work
with the committee.
The-appointment of William Shurtz
as night captain gives general satisfac
tion among the police. Said one of
them to the Indicator, “I am glad he
*m the choice of the council for he is
a good fellow, up to his work, and we
all like him.” Thera were a number of

ONE-WHEELED SULKY.
Tlie Invention of » Californian Who
I.ooks for lllg Success With It.
Captain Alphons B. Smith, a pio
neer of San Deigo, Cal., is tho in
ventor of a one-wheelod sulky which
apparently is a success. Some years
ago he conceived the idea that tho
timo of a horso on a race course
would bo materially reduced If in
stead of tho two-wheel sulky a
ono-wheel cart could bo used, and
ho forthwith set to dovise a vehicle
which would suit the purpose. He
feels confident thnt at last ho has
succeeded in inventing something
which fully realizos his brightest
hopes, and something, too, which is
destined to coino into very general
use throughout tno world. The axle
of tho cart is made in two pieces,
and is so arranged that tho wheel
turns very readily in any direction
the horso can possibly pursuo. At
tached to tho shafts, near whore they
moot tho axlo, are stirrups designed
to steady tho rider in his position on
tho cart. Mado for ordinary road
uso one of thoso vohicles weighs
eighty-seven pounds, but when do
signed for uso on tho raco courso
tho unicylo as somo have called it.
may bo constructed so ns to woigh
only thirty-two pounds. Ono was
recently manufactured at San Diego
entirely of aluminum, the weight be
ing a triflo loss than thirty-two pound*
and tho vohtelo being Htrong and
handsome. Arthur M. Plato is Cap
tain Smith’s partner in busiuoss. Mr.
Plato said to a .- an Francisco Examin
er man: “Captain Smith perfoctod i
tho several patents last June, and
ho and I are preparing to introduce
it to tho public. No, it isn’t truo
that a balunco wheel goes with each i
cart The driver isn’t in a bit of i
darigor of being tipped ovor. Tho i
cart, can’t bo overturned unless the
horso falls, and tho motion isn’t
jerky. Wo will drivo the two-wheel
pneumatic from the track. Whyf
Well, bccaußO it minimizes friction,
and therefore admits of greater speed.
The experiments thus far mado on
raco courses leave no room for doubt
that, the ono-wheel cart is certain of
popularity among turfmen.” Tho in
ventor is sanguine that before
anothor year has rolled away hun
dreds of his unieycles will bo usod
in San Francisco and hundreds more
throughout the interior of California,
especially in the mountainous dis
tricts.
The Glories of Donnybrook.
Donnybrook is on tho outskirts of
the city of Dublin, but Donnybrook
fair ground is no longer tho friendly

with patchwork quilts or blankets or
old petticoats spread over them, held

Valuable Cat.
A cat known as “BUl’* was the
means of saving a whole family at
Burlington. N. J. Karly in tho morn

of his master, M. A. Garrison, while
evoryono save “Bill” was asleep.
“Bill,” seeing the flames and think
ing somothing wrong, went to tho
door of his master's room and began
singing. This of courso awoke Mr.
Garrison, who, Booing that flames had
onvoloped tho house, quickly alarmed
his family and they all oscapod in
safety. In consideration of “Bill’s”
heroism the neighbors have chained
up all their bootjneks and hereafter
“Bill” can “moaow” in perfect peace.
