Since my last letter the celebration !
of the glorious 4th has passed, and |
things have settled down to the form
er status. Two person were killed
and several had their eyes put out,
arms blown off, or were hurt in other
ways by the fire works. There were
similar accidents in other parts of the
country. When will people learn to-
abandon the use of such dangerous
things and manifest their patriotism
in some less expensive and safer man
ner.
As write the newsboys are crying
on the streets Morning papers! ali
about the great prize fight of Sulli-
van and Kilrain." AS I passed down
the street I saw crowds about the
bulletin boards reading the account
of this disgraceful, brutal fight. Oh
how far we are yet from the millen-
ium-frOm that golden day of the
world, foretold by prophets and anx-
iously desired by all nen and women
who have out grown their mere animal
impulses and who are progressive
and philanthropic in their nature.
Just think of it! There was more in
terest manifested IN the bloody con
test Of these brutal animal men on
two legs who went to New Orleans to
beat, and kick, and bite each other
like two ferocious wild beasts,-ten
times more interest than would be
manifested in the latest inventions of
an Edison, the speeches for humanity
of a great statesman like Gladstone,
or the doings of a worlds Congress
met in the interest of universal peace,
or Of some great movement to sub-
serve religion or education. Shame
on a country that will encourage such
spectacles Of brutality and gross
wickedness. Shame on a newspaper
press and public sentiment that does
not disapprove and denounce such
disgracefuI practice.
There has lately come to light a
movement, originating in England
but having It's field of operation here
in Denver, which is gigantic in its
proportions and causes much excite
ment in certain quarters. [ refer to
the organization Of a powerful Trust
whose object is to buy up all the brew
cries in Denver and monOpolize the
entire business in Colorado. The
Daily Meas publishes a full expos
ure of the scheme. The Company Is
stocked at 100000 pounds. It's place
Of business is London and its pros
pectus and bylaws says: ''There is
no law to prevent a foreign Company
from buying and holding all the lands
in the vicinity of Denver" They
further say: "The consumption OF
beer has grown wonderfully of late
years, and Denver being in an ex-
elusive portion of the country 600 to
1,100 miles from any brewing estab-
lishment, we consider it proper to
secure the practical monopoly of Den
yer and surrounding country" The
Nely8 abiding to it says:
The company proposes, under the
guise of restauranters and farmers in
connection with the different branches
they enumerate, to sell liquor and
reap the benefit of their profits In
the control of tobacco, from which
they are beginning to manufacture
beer, they add greatly to their treas
ury. 1t further states that they shall
enter into partnership with any per
son to carry their points; in fact, the
company figures taking Denver on
their shoulders.
In plain terms it IS stated that one
Of the principle objects of the com
pany will be
To apply for and promote the
amendment Of any act of the leglsla-
ture.
If they have the power to do this,
they can dictate the affairs of the
state and the policy OF the govern
ment, and all the future laws Will be
the result of a combination Of brew
cries. They calculate
To lend money, receive 1t on de-
post, transact a banking business.
Any person who helps them will be
renumerated, and they viii encourage
any advances made by them.
Denver Will be floating in a sea Of
beer, -pilOted by brewers.
The company will buy the town il
