SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 90, 1881.
Our Opinion.


In our opinion Canon City needs
at least one hundred more houses to
supply the immediate demand.
The end of the oil strike is not yet.
In our opinion five or six pumps will
be drawing oil before one year rolls
around.
No one yet knows who will consti-
tute General Garfield's cabinet. We
believe the portfolios will go to the
best men in the party.
In our opinion the city of Canon is
perfectly able to fix up the soda
springs in good style. At present
it is perfect mud hole.
Before congress adiourns it should
pass a coercion bill for the benefit of
the Utes. We believe it would mean
cannon, as the Irish coercion bill
evidently does.
In our opinion Silver Cliff takes
too much credit upon itself for the
mines of Rosta. In other words, it
is stealing the incense of the rose TO
make perfume for itself.
In our opinion there are too many
candidates for Judge of the sixth ju-
in except Fremont. We have one
here and he is clark horse"
We believe The municipal campaign
in this city will be quite lively this
spring. Still work is already going
on. The "outs'' the "ins' and the
''evens" all want to have a hand in
control.
In our opinion the silver industry
of the west should be protected con-
'sistently and fully, but not as Judge
Belford would, have it, if he cannot
gain his point, at the expense OF the
republican party.
Chief-of-police Cook, of Denver,
has made some arbitrary rules for
the government of his force. We
believe they will result like some of
the "blue lawn ordinances of Canon
City-never be enforced.
A United States Postal Telegraph
company has been organized in the
little town of Eldora, Iowa. We
believe it to be only the name of
something to be absorbed into the
great Gould-Vanderbilt monopoly.
What is there about Durango so at
tractive? SO far only gambling hells
and dance houses. There is no min
ing or agricultural countrysaroundit it.
In our opinion in six days after the
railroad leaves it you will hear no
more of Durango.
The senate of the United States
has declared that our commerce is in
a fiourishing condition. In our
opinion it immediately contradicted
itself when it stated that our mails
were more safely carried in foreign
steamships than in our own.
In our opinion if at least one-half of
., Il; bn
confined in the Leadville jail on
January 1st, had been strung UP at
one time it would have had salu
tory effect upon that community. AS
it is not one has been punished.
The legislature passed severe bill
for the punishment of persons carry
10 enforce it Thoroughly itts IS sc 24t6fr |
opinion that one-half of the popula-|
tion will be compelled to turn itself
loose upon the other half as dctec-
tives and spies.
In our opinion the national banks
will do nothing of the kind. 1t is
threatened by some of them to with |
draw their circulation when the |
three per cent bonds, provided for in
the funding bill, are put upon the
market. 1t is stated that $500, ,OOO, 900 |
worth of them would be subscribed |
for in one week upon the New York
stock exchange.
Hon. James a. McCandless, of this
county, made no mistakes in his leg
islative career this winter. He did |
not jump up aud make a speech upon
every bill introduced, nor did he in
troduce a bill which would be a
"dead IetterIupon the statute books.
In our opinion he will go to the up
per house of the general assembly |
two years hence.
