The Eclipse Of the Noon.

For fully an hour after the moon rose on
this locality Saturday her form was nearly
all covered by the shadow of the earth, and
what little was seen was crescent shaped.
The arc showed in a vertical position. The
sight from elevated localities was beautiful
one. After the sun set and before the moon
became visible, the western sky presented a
soft difiused golden and reddish hue, and
with the mellow light from the crescent
moon. as she rose above the eastern horizon
in cloudless sky, made Il beautiful scene.
Afterwards the moon passed from the earth's
shadow. and. grown round and full again,
shonc. out brightly. The eclipse was only
visible here, though in countries east of us
it was total. America losing the passageinto

The Reading LRoom.


There has been during the past year CON
siderable talk amongst the organized work
ingmen of this city upon the subject of open
ing free reading room for workingmen. 1t
is a pleasure to announce that the talk has
taken a business shape, and at last such a
room is opened in this city and is now in full
blast.
Last Sunday proposition was submitted
to the Trades Assembly by the editor of this
paper; it was accepted and sufficient means
to carry out the scheme appropriated at once.
A room on the same floor with THE EN-
QUIRER office has been secured and fitted UP
with moderate conyeniences. Some books
have been placed in the room and the labor
exchanges and daily papers which come into
THE ENQUIRER Office are donated, and there
is plenty Of reading matter and facilities to
accommodates large number Of persons,
The Trades Assembly extends an invitation
teal workingmen who desire to pass their
unoccupied hours in pleasant and profitable
manner to drop into the reading room at any
time between So'clock a. m. and 1 o'clock
p. m. on week days, and from 9: 80 a. m. to 6
p. m. on Sundays. Arrangements will soon
be made for keeping the room open upon
stated evenings during the week.
Donations OF books and papers will be re-
ceived with thanks at the room, and those
friendly to the cause and this enterprise are
respectfully requested to do what they can to
make this new feature in the education of
the laboring masses the success it should and
can be made.

Result OF the consolidation,

On Monday morning last the announce
ment was made that the Denver Tribune
would be discontinued, or rather ab-
sorbed by the Republican, and that
hereafter the latter publication would be
known as the Tribune Republican. This
move has been anticipated for over a
year, and the date has been set once or
twice; but since the campaign opened a
few weeks ago little has been said about
it, and it was thought things would
remain as they were until after the cleo
ton at least. The announcement of
Monday was, therefore, somewhat Of a
surprise, and, so to speak, caught the
employees of the Tribune unprepared.
In the neighborhood of one hundred
men are affected by the consolidation
and about forty printers, members of
Typographical union No. 40, find their
occupations gone. Very fewwere finan-
cially prepared for such an event, and
the union held special meeting on
Tuesday afternoon for the purpose of
devising means of assisting the unem-
ployed who were busted to get out of
town or otherwise aid them. ii
Unfortunately the treasury of the
union was unusually low and the num-
Der eligible for aid rather large. How
ever, the union did its duty handsomely
and placed its entire treasury at the dis
posal of the executive committee to be
used in helping the idle men, and
arrangements were also made by which
half-fare tickets could be procured for
those desiring to leave the city at once.
A number have already left the city, and
others are preparing to go, and no par
ticular inconvenience is anticipated on
account of the sudden appearance of the
hyphen. - Nk,.+4
1t is not probable that the consolida-
ton will result in an increase of the
composing lOtCO VI thO 1sCpuDitCdu dG
present, and as there was already suffi-
cient number of "subs" on the Republi-
can and News, the entire force of the
Tribune regulars and subs are count
ed as surplus in the present situation.
While the consolidation works a par
tial hardship for the present, yet it is
conceded to be good thing for all in the
end, as every one realized the fact that
three morning papers were too many for
this city to maintain, and consequently
the position of all was to some extent
jeopardized by the crowded condition of
the morning newspaper market. Dem
yer can support two morning papers
nicely, and, if properly managed, the
News and Tribune Republican Will be
profitable institutions for all connected
with them in the future. Let Us hope so.

Invited to Parade.

The Trades Assembly has been invited
by the managers of the exposition to
turn out in the parade on the opening
day of the exposition, September ], with
the other societies of the city. The sub
ject has been referred by the assembly
to the numerous societies represented in
that body, and whether the invitation
will be accepted and the turn out made
will not be known until the unions and
assemblies meet. =
The united labor and trades organiza-
tions of the city, if they will all turn out,
can present the grandest showing of men
IN line ever seen in local parade in the
state, but it is to be hoped the invitation
will be declined with thanks unless q
large percent of the membership can be
induced to turn out. There should be
no halfway affair of this kind.

The Government Building.

After long wait in expectation, work
has at last been commenced on the new
government postotfice building in this
city. A force Of thirty-fve or forty men
is engaged in clearing away the debris of
some old shanties, preparatory to exca-
waiting for the superstructure. The la
borers are getting So per day, working
eight hours. So many applications have
been made BY men for work that the
man in charge has felt himself COM
PEELED to put up plaeard declaring
Positively no help wanted to-day" 1t
is to be presumed this sign will be taken
down along about election day, when
voters are more in demand.
i "A set.of rules, signed by the supervis-
ing architect, defining the duties of the
workmen, have also been posted up.
They have tone of master and slave
about them which sounds queer to a
western man, and denote very plainly to
what a depth unorganized labor can be
degraded. They are the first introduc-
ton the laborers of this city haye had to
this style, as contractors on private build
lngs have never deemed them necessary.
Laborers certainly know their duties as
well as any other class of workmen, not
excluding architects, and governmental
instruction is therefore not called for.
These rules are simply red-tape rot-an
assumption over labor which no man has
right to make, and are an emanation
from the clammy hand of oppression.

With its issue of this morning the
Tribune newspaper Of this city will
cease to exist as separate and inde-
pendent newspaper. The Tribune will
be combined with the Republican,
and the new paper will be known as The
Denver Tribune Republican.
~
1T has been generally known for the
past three years that there were more
morning newspapers in the city than
the business justified. Three papers
struggled for existence where two might
make a decent living. The natural out
growth of such state of affairs is con-
summated to-day. It. is q business

The editor of this paper was absent
from the city during all of last publica-
ton week, and naturally few things
were neglected or left to fall behind.
Just before taking my departure, 1 re-
ceiyed a communication advocating the
candidacy of William H. Meyer for gov
,ernor. l found nothing init conflicting
with my views and my knowledge of
the gentleman mentioned; therefore
ordered it printed. Since my return
have been asked by several and have re-
ceived three letters requesting my
opinion on the subject. l am never slow
to say what l think, and shall not be in
this case. / know the statements con-
tanned in the letter published to be alb
solutely true, or should not have
admitted it to the columns of The En-
aUIRER. ! know Mr., Meyer to be a
young man of good characteristics, able
mind, kind heart and clear record. He
has been, and is still a hard-workfng
man-though he has accumulated some
property by his lndustry-is plain in his
manners and anti-aristocratic. Ibelieve
he would make Colorado good gov
ernor, and should rejoice at his cleo
ton. believe his chances are good /;
he has the full support of his own sec
ton of the state, and his principal friends
are found among those who have ever
been friendly to the cause ef labor. 1
like William II. Meyer, and it gives me
pleasure to ay good word for him.
