The Syndicate and the Public Veal.
EDrToRs NEWS: 1t is quite extern
sively believed that there exists in this
county an organization composed of
gentlemen of wealth, ability and energy,
who are engaged in the laudable under
taking of lettering their fortunes, and
WHO may be properly denominated as
above. They are, us far AS your cores
pondent is aware, gentlemen of high
character and standing in society, men
whose word is as good as their bond in
their business relations. These gentle
in the slang phrase of the day. pooled
their issues" and are understood to be
particularly orthodox in endorsing st.
Paul when he said, " Be diligent in
business" whatever may be said of their
/ belief of the context. These gentlemen
are also supposed to be firm adherents
to that article of faith which declares II
competency to be little more than you
have. Do not understand me, Messrs
Editors, to be censuring this supposed
Syndicate or the gentlemen composing
it. Such is not the purpose of this ar
ticle. But observation, experience and
history teach US that great wealth in
| few hands almost necessarily infers a
corresponding degree of poverty among
the masses, and the riches acquired by
speculation are generally like the re-
suits of gambling without value re-
ceived.
Public interests must not he allowed
10 suffer from the effects of private gain
II is more than limited ut that this CON-
bination is engaged in securing the
franchise of many schemes not for the
purpose Of genuine improvement, them
selves, but as base for traffic. The re-
cent gas ordinance is All illustration. l
may be wrong, but it does appear to me
that il is the duty of the custodians of
public trusts not to allow or grant ex-
elusive privileges t. any but bona fide
corporations and to see to il that pub
lie privileges are not to be surrendered
| to private individuals for speculative
purposes. Our legislative bodies both
state and municipal, are the guardians
of public interests and should be exceed
ingly careful of their charge. The old
and only correct idea of government, that
of safety to life and security to property,
the outcome of the banding to-
gether of the weak for pro-
lection against the strong, is
being subverted in a very large degree
by n sort of 'joint stock company"
idea, in the administration of which
there is continual struggle by a few
big fish to obtain majority of the stock
and secure all the valuable franchises for
themselves, without any regard to the
vested interests of the private property.
This is q state of affairs against which
the people must continue to battle, and
the contest for the public veal must be
fought to the bitter end, without regard
to personal considerations. Public in
terests, and public interests alone, must
control the division of counties and have
the major influence in questions of
right of way for railroads or the exclu-
sive privileges of the various organiza-
tions that seem TO be necessary in cities.

G. w. Frederick left with us the other
day II lump of the La Veta coal. We
are still using il, that lump. 1t lasts
like rocky mountain winter and burns
as though it knew its mission was to
warm things up and 1t had little use for
ash pans. The coal makes a hot, clean
and lasting fire. If our print shop only
had a basc-burner and used anthracite,
we would give comparisons with this
last far-famed article of fuel; as matters
stand. we will have to content ourselves
with saying that we understand Dwight
