THE MAYORS VETO.
STRANGLING THE CoNSoLIDA.
TION SCHEME.
Backed by John Waldron, Mayor
Straight of Pueblo dehes the city
council and refuses to sign the
ordinance-Will it ever come to
voter

Bessemer, through its council has so
far complied with all requirements nee
essary to call an election on the ques
ton of annexation to oblige the
citizens who petitioned for an election,
leaving it to the people to settle the
dispute at the polls. This was done
although Mayor Dempsey and ma
jority OF the aldermen are known to be
opposed to annexation. But the prob
lem is meeting with determined oppos-
tion IN certain quarters in Pueblo and
it is very doubtful il the thing will
ever come to an open issue.
There was war in the Pueblo council
Monday when the ordinance relating to
annexation was brought up for final
passage. Mayor Strait promptly vetoed
it and the council passed it over his
veto by two-thirds majority. The
mayor then declared that he would not
issue the necessary proclamation, and
the council at once instructed the city
attorney to commence mandamus pro
ceedings against him compelling him to
issue the proclamation. and the case is
now pending in the courts.
Mayor Strait while declaring him
self to be in favor of annexation pro
fesses to be guided wholly by the belief
that the law of 1898 providing for con
solidation of contiguous towns or cities
is illegal. and that an election held
under it would not be valid, and the
city of Pueblo would be out $4,000
election expenses and get nothing in
return but experience. He arrives at
this conclusion from a written opinion
Of John Waldron which is volumiuous
and was read at the meeting Of the
council. Attorney Waldrons ability is
conceded by all. and he sums up the
whole problem, predicating his argu-
ments from these two questions:
Firstly, can it be said as matter
of law that the city council possesses
the implied power to supply by
ordinance these omissions in the
statute? and
Second, conceding that the legislature
by implication has clothed the city
council with such power. can the latter
lawfully exercise such implied delega-
ton of legislative authority con
sistent with the provisions of the con-
stitution of this state?"
The distinguished lawyer answers
both of these questions in the negative,
and the mayor and four aldermen stand
with him. AS matters now stand the
wheels of consolidation are at stand
still so far as Bessemer is concerned.
Pueblo will first have to fight it out in
the courts before the question is open
for square issue.

CIRCULARS are out announcing meet
ing to be held in Pueblo the 2S inst for
the purpose of organizing brand new
Independent political organization to be
strictly free from contamination with
any of the three predominant parties.
The usual Whereas" paragraph sets
forth the object by declaring that The
time has come for organized labor to
act in its own behalf and in the behalf
of the overburdened taxpayers of the
city The proposed new party expects
to take an active part in the approach

To Reduce Expenses.

the city council has decided to Gu I
down the expense connected with the
South Pueblo Water company, and
with that end in view the FIRE and
water committee is investigating the
number of hydrants that can be dis
pensed with and will report at the
meeting of the council next Wednesday
night. The town Is bound by contract
to pay for fifty hydrants or fire plugs
the sum of $3.50 per month, but it is
claimed there are number of hydrsnts
over and above this number in out of
the way places which have never been
used, and they will probably be done
away with.

STATE Auditor Goodykoontz braved
the anger of the house of repre-
sentatives by refusing to issue warrants
to pay the members for doing nothing.
He sent communication 10 the house
saying that he could find no law which
empowered him to issue warrants un-
less there are funds not otherwise ap-
propriated, and then the house must
designate on what fund the warrants
are to be drawn. The solons grew very
wrothy thereat and administered a
great tongue thrashing TO the doughty
auditor and returned the communica-
tion to him. Stay with them, +. M.

The annexation question is in such
shape just now that it is hardly open
for discussion. Mayor Strait of Pueblo
has refused to issue the required proc
lamation and has been mandamused by
friends of annexation to be compelled
to issue it. The thing is now pending
in the district court. the point at issue
resting on the validity Of the Wicks
bill which became law by the grace of
the General Assembly of 1903.

A Hint on the Spring Elections

To rid the state of tie vampires who
follow the dictum of Governor Waite it
will be necessary to defeat any attempt
at Populist control Populism based
on the Omaha platform, populism as
worked in Kansas, populism as exhib-
tied in Colorado has been one series of
ruinous legislation and demoralized
economy. Pepulism is but another
term for socialism and the latter heresy
is a blight on any country, state or
municipality. Populism should be
blotted out of Colorado politics this
year.-Pueblo Journal
The Bessemer indicator., 1894-02-17

ii AM disgusted and ashamed that
Colorado should be imposed on in this
way, Indignantly cried Representative
Sweeney when the state autitor sent
word to the house that it must provide
the funds before he would issue war
rants to pay the members. You are
inflated with too much self importance.
Mr.. Sweeney. the house of repre-.
sentatives does not constitute Colo
RADIO by long SHOT. Colorado feels
imposed on from altogether another
point Of view.

AND. yet another French anarchist
has risen to the surface to observe that
society must down, and to emphasize
what he meant he exploded bomb In
a cafe, killing or injuring twenty-three
people. The fend whose name is Leon
Breton SAID when captured that his
motive was also to avenge the death of

for these miserable anarchists; they
should be compelled to work for u
term of years before losing their heads.

Of the world one of these tunes for the
especial benefit of the red handed

Danger in Steel Works.

At the Homestead steel works for
the year ending Dec, 10, 1898. l,240
men were injured, an average of 1903
each month. Nine were killed. twenty
six had fingers amputated; one lost Il
leg and one an arm. This record is
said to compare well with other large
establishments, being comparatively a
small number. In many cases the
INJURIES were slight.-Iron Trade Re
