DENVER. Feb. SIT seems the News
outfit have got through fighting the
Knights of Labor and the workingmen
generally, and have taken to fighting
among Themselves. must say, this is
all very good in so far as it demonstrates
to the pablic that the News has about
run to the end of the string that it saw
fit to attach to itself last May, i. e.,
Arkins saw fit to let the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad company, through W.
s. Jackson. dictate the course it should
take in the trouble at that time. By
that act the News lost the confidence of
the workingmen, also the dollars of the
same class, and gained the enmity of all
good honest men who earn their bread
by the sweat of their face in honest toll.
Of course, for the time being, the News
had the respect(?) of the truly good God
fearing fellows who live upon Capitol
Hill, and who are interested in railroad
stocks or other gambling concerns that
fleece the honest producers of all
wealth"
How is it now? The manager of the
News shows open violence to the laws of
the land by pulling gun. This same
man Atkins was wont to Cast summer)
tellthe people of this city to beware of
the "armed mob" who were ae<bat time
loose in this city, meaning of courseSthe
workingmen. particularly the men wlh
were on strike, and Knights of Labor
generally.
Iwould remark just here that it is
probably just as we'll for Atkins (the
drunken would-be murderer) and ali
such as him, that the selected committee
did not undertake the little job they
were organized for, else Atkins would
not have been here to pull his little gun
yesterday; he would, to speak plain, be
in hell.
By the unmanly course of Atkins and
the News, last summer, it lost the sup.
port of the workingmen, but for the time
being was the best $50 considered by the
bond loving class) paper in this country,
the New York Tribune not excepted.
Now that its use in that line (abuse of
Knights of Labor is gone it has lost the
respect of the respect of the "Shylocks,"
what will become of the News now; Door
thing?
: In the name of all that is good, let the
self-destruction of the cursed. thing 90
on until complete. A CRANK.

DR.. w. G. Paschal and Messrs.
S. r. Christie and A. J. Carver,
town tax assessors, have concluded
their duties, and, we presume, the
manner in which they discharged
them meets with the approval Of
all concerned. The town proper
ty, as valued, is worth S557OOO,
an increase over last year of $685.

are Of great benefit to the people,
as all the property is then return
ed and every man made to bear

On-neXt Sunday the lovers OF
the missionary cause here antici-
pate soulful repast from the
Methodist pulpit. All may come
with impunity and enjoy the SER
mon with ease, for no itithes will
be required on that day. Rev.
Joseph Langston will preach the
sermon and that is enough to in
sure a large audience.
The Bronwood social club will
meet tomorrow (Friday) night
at the residence of Mr.. Jas. j.
Hill, and it is desired that every
member attend, for something
good is expected from Editor
Langston. His items and edito-
rials will be interesting as we'll as
instructive, ior we all say he is a
good man.
Mr.. Hugh O'Pry, of Picolata,
Fla, has been in town several
days, and gives a better report of
the orange crop in his section
than was expected. He says the
trees were damaged but not kill
ed, and that those who get or
angeS next fall will have to pay a
good price for them, which, CT
course, will be to the advantage
of those who have oranges to sell.
All the trees were damaged but
not to the extent reported last
winter. The trees which bear this
year will bear better fruit than
before, but not so much.
The election is. over and now
we should be satisfied with the
voice of the people whether our
man was nominated or not. Let's
forget all harsh words which have
been spoken pro and con, and
support the nomiree as becometh
true democrats. May we never
have another such heated clm-
paign. So mote it be.
