MoNTRosE, Colorado, Dec. 26.-The driver
of the Ouray stage brings the startling news
that during the past three days twenty y-seven
men have been killed by snow slides in the
mountains between Ouray and Telluride. He
could not learn their names. Searching par
ties are out looking for the bodies of the un-
fortunate men. 1t is impossible to tell just
how many persons have lost their lives in
snow slides during the past week.
TELLURIDE, Colorado, Dec. 26.-On Mon
dap, about II, noon, slide came down, in
Marshall basin, and carried off the shaft house
Of the Mendoza mine, containing fourteen
men, eight of whom were killed outright,
two were wounded, and four dug themselves
ont.
Two men were killed by snow slides on the
Nevada mine. .
TELLURIDE, via Montrose, Dec. 26.-In my
former dispatch was unable to give any par
ticulars. The following named persons were
killed in the Mendoza slide: j. H. Bond,
G. s.. Herrick, Thomas Dunegan, William
Taylor, John Davis, William Applethwaite,
F. Slater and Lewis Huckins.
Two men, Fred Farquhasan and James
Burns, were found to-day in the Gold Bug
cabin dead. A slide struck the cabin on FRI
day and moved 1t about 100 feet.
The men killed in the Nevada mine,. near
Ophir, were named James Gunther and -
Peck. s

A clear analysis and explanation fol-
lows each Of the above propositions, and
the whole is followed by comprehen-
sive resume of the iniquities of our pres
ent systems, showing to what they inev-

to be derived from the authors plan.
There is not the shadow of a hope Of
getting the laws suggested by Mr.. De-
ment passed, until the congress of the
United States is conducted in the inter-
est and under the absolute centrol of the
producers of the states, aid when that
time comes and come it must-we will
have plenty of the right kind of laws, of
which Mr.. Dement'S suggestions will as

In an srticle the other day it said the
wageworker had imoroved mentally,
socially and financially in the Last fiffy
years. Now, this is not true, and the
young editor Of the Republican got his
information from false source. That
the wageworksr has improved mentally
I will admit; but he has been purified
by FIRE, and through the natural in
fuences of the advancement of the
nineteenth century, which has even i'm
proved the quality Of dumb brutes and
;inanlmate things. But he is worse off
socially and financially than were his
brothers fifty years ago. Then, | (speak
of this country in society there was not
30 many false distinctions made in favor
of the rich. This may probably lie due
to the fact that there was not so wide q
gulf dividing the rich and poor; and
there we strike the financial phase OF
the question. While wages were lower
fifty years ago, the cost of maintaining
life was not SO high, and THERE WERE NO
pAupERs. How does the editor of the
Republican account for the fact that
while "the financial condition of the
wageworker has improved within the
past fifty years, pauperism has sprung
up and is growing rapidly? My young
friend of the Republican is a good fellow
and means well, but, in the language OF
the sage of the News, he has not STUDIED
social problems with care.n

"THE capitalistic press is calling for
more laws for the punishment of tramps,"
says an eastern exchange. These tools
of the despoilers of honest workingmen
do not ask for laws to remove the tramp
curse. Such laws would be blow at
the capitalists, the money gods of the
press. They are always very strong in
their advocacy of laws to deal with the
results of poverty, but they do not have
a word to say concerning the removal of
its cause. Well, all hope is, that if the
system which makes tramps is not over
thrown by more equitable one, they
will become SO thick and desperate that
they will touch torch to every news
paper Office and pulpit in the land that
teaches the enactment of tramp laws"

The reherchyjerky affair of the season
occurred on Tuesday, as was announced
in the daily press. After the wedding
ceremony at the church, a grand recep-
ti6n took place at the brides residence,
corner Eighteenth and Curtis. Just
about the same sized crowd gathered
around the house as gathered at Char
plots on Tuesday to see Sullivan, the
Boston slugger, and the spectacle in both
cases was sad commentary on the
brains of the community. Two burly
policemen, in white gloves, stood by the
gate to turn pedestrians aside, out of the
way of the cod fish aristocracy, who
we're alighting from string of vehicles
and floating into the wedding feast.
And as one trudged through the mud,
making for the other side of the street,
he found himself wondering if those
were not the same two 'city guardians"
who wanted to lock up as a yagrant the
poor old man who died of starvation on
the streets Christmas day. Sad contrast
between some of the duties" our city
police are called upon to perform.

The next meeting of the Trades As
sembly will occur on Sunday, January
l3. 1t is necessary that all unions and
lodges represented in that body elect
their delegates for the next term, which
begins with that meeting, before that
time. Officers of the various societies
will please take notice. During the past
year the assembly has made considera-
BILE advancement, though the practical
results have not been greatly noticeable
Several important measures have been
adopted or been put on foot during the
year and they will, it is hoped, bear fruit
largely in the future. Owing to these
important matters, it is necessary that
careful and attentive men compose the
new delegations. Again desire to say
that the man who cannot attend dill
gently to the duties of delegate should
not accept the position. The work is
greatly retarded by the election of men
who do not attend to the duties of the
Office, and electors in the societies should
be careful in their selections.
The Labor enquirer., 1883-12-29

SOMEONE advertised in recent issue OF
the News for newspaper in which one
can express honest opinions on any sub
jeet, whether in opposition to money or
power. He should have brought his
communication to THE ENQUIRER Office.
The News quotes the advertisement, and
then goes on to show how foolish the
man is who thinks newspaper can pub
lish the views of every discontented in
dividual and succeed. The editorial says
a newspaper is the private property OF
its owners, and that, outside of the legit-
innate news, it should not publish what
would be likely to be injurious to its
patronage, that is, it should not print
anything calculated to displease the big
bugs or the party leaders" The edito-
rial is very able defense of its position,
and at first thought looks sound and
reasonable. But the writer evidently
forgot that there is another class upon
which the paper is dependent for sup
port and success, besides those who buy
its influence and this Is the class which
gives it influence. These are the readers
the subscribers. While it is true that
the plant and editorial opinions of a
newspaper are private property, it is
equally true that when paper takes
subscription money from man it
pledges that it will keep its columns
open for the discussion of all important
subjects and for the dissemination of the
views of the community. 1don't know
what was the character of the matter the
refusal of which induced the advertise
ment in the News. 1t makes no differ
ence. Every posted man knows that
the daily press of this city keeps its
columns closed against any matter
which attacks the robbing systems of the
capitalistic thieves, and it is also well
known that large portion of the read
ing public is greatly dissatisfied with the
action of these papers. And because Of
the monopoly of the daily press, which
no man who has the means will attempt
to break, the public is wronged and de-
frauded, and must either not keep posted
on daily happenings or aid in the Sup
port of papers which openly ayow that
they dare not print what might displease
their masters. Servants, obey your
masters" sE:

wOR ERs AND IDLERs.

l have received from the author,
Merritt Fl, Dement,, copy of the excel
lent work entitled, workers and Idlers," !"
and am highly pleased with 1t. The au-
thor is certainly man of deep research,
profound thought and advanced ideas.
The author says: IF it may be taken
as true that nations do inevitably decay,
1t should not be considered impertinent
nor presuming, In this age of reason, to
propose an inquiry into the causes of
this decay, and to consider whether a
remedy may not be possible therefor" /"
He goes right into the depths of the sub
ject and shows that the threatened de-
cay of this government is due to the lat
itude allowed for the accumula. ion of
wealth in the hands of few and the i'm
poverishment of the masses.
The remedies proposed by Mr.. Dement,
are eouched in the following proposed
enactments by congress:
"First-By the passage of an act pro-
viding that after twenty years from the
date of its passage, no rent, profit, or
benefit of any kind, shall be paid or re-
ceived for the use of lands or houses.
Secondly the passage of an act
providing that from and after FIVE years
after its passage, no interest, profit, or
benefit of any kind, shall be paid or re-
ceived for the use of money loaned after
the passage of the act.
sThird-By the passage Of an act re-

TOE THE MARK.

A short time ago the News made a
blind drive at the advocates of Socialism,
in which it made bold to say the men
who object to the present condition of
affairs had not studied the social problem
with care. In the last issue of The En-
eU1RER made answer and threw down
the gauntlet to the News man. He has
not seen fit to pick it up. This may be
due to either of two causes. He may
not be able to discuss the question, or he
may think The ENQUIRER unworthy his
mighty efforts, or the cause of silence
NAV be found in combination of both.
If the editor of the News is not pre-
pared to show that he has studied social
problems with care, he should not throw
stones. And if he refraihs from dis
eussion with The ENQUIRER because he
looks upon it as unworthy his steel, allow
me to assure him that he might make a
great mistake on that head. l thank
God 1 make no pretense to being mon
ument of wisdom, but nave pretty
fair grip and few things I know, and
my limited room won't allow of my
wasting space on anything l don't know
something about. '
make this little explanation to assure
the great head" ON the News that if he
wants to handle social problem or two
he can be accommodated at THE En-
QU1RER Office with some rather startling,
though truthful, points.
And hereby challenge the Rocky
Mountain News, or any other newspaper,
to discussion of the social question. l
will take the 'crank's" side of the ques-
ton, and if lam beaten in the discussion
1 will forever thereafter hold my peace.
Here's chance for the Sullivanic in
tellects of the city press to exercises
themselves and knock out disturber.
