An Explanation.

In last weeks issue OF The INDICATOR
appeared news item to the effect that
N. h. Motherway, II former resident OF
Pueblo, was IN the city and would be
likely to go into business again, mention
being made incidentally that he was
shrinking Of buying the Hub stock Of
goods owned by A. McClelland." ]. F.
Thomas takes exception to the item and
declares that himself, and not Mr.. Nc
Clelland, is the sole owner, and had a
card published in the Chieftain OF De.
cember IA in which Mr.. McCelland
denies the ownership OF the goods.
Now, The INDICATOR is glad to do in
this instance what it is always ready and
willing to do where mis- statement
finds its way into its columns, i. e., to
correct such mis- statement when found
to be an error, and, since j. F. Thomas
says he is the owner of said stock OF
goods, and A. McClellard says that he
(McClelland) is not the owner, we accept
their statements as being correct. How
ever, in justice to itself The INDICATOR
will say that that part of the item refer
ring to the ownership of the Hub stock
OF goods was intended to be merely Incl
dental to the subject matter and used
only to strengthen the rumor that Mr..
Motherway was going into the depart
msnt business again in the city, and,
being under the impression that Nc
Clelland owned the stock and not hav-
ing time to give the business his per-
sonal attention, there was an opportunity
afforded Mr.. Motherway of buying out
the business. This, in word, is the
construction that The INDICATOR meant
should be put upon the wording of the
item Of news.

Rearrested for Rape.

A. Boden, alias Albert Degolier, who
was arrested some time ago charged
with the rape OF the McNama girl but
who was subsequently discharged, was
arrested again by the police the first OF
the week on charge of outraging Mabel
Pagan the last of October, and turned
over to the custody of the county. The
little child identified him as being the
man, but he claims to be able to prove
an alibi. A reward OF $500 is offered for
the right man.
LATER.-The defendant had hearing
before Justice Carey yesterday and was
bound over to the district conrt.

THEY ALL SAY 50!
There is a General Revival
of Business in
BeSSener.
No Vacant Houses, Realty is on the
Move and Store Business
is Better.

III spedhlnS Win various cltlZens OF
the progress being made in Bessemer
toward the return of better times we find
that the prevailing sentiment is that
things are not what they used to be, and
that the tide of business is fast com.
ing in.
L. w. Lynch, who has good opportu-
mites for seeing what is going on be
cause OF his painting and paper hanging
business, says that there are not half
dozen vacant houses from tho steel
works to Carlisle Park, and from the
Eiler smelter to Beulah, which is sgnifi-
cant, indeed.
j. j. Langdon informs us that people
now don't wait for him t his office when
they want to rent house but hasten to
his home to be first in line. He has
every house in his possession in Besse.
mer rented, which bears out the state.
ment of Mr.. Lynch.
Miles & Stewart are not only doing n
good business in buying and selling
realty up this way but are pushing the
building boom and have made prepara-
tions to build four substantial dwellings
in the western part of the city.
G. Fl. Quackenbush & Son, general
merchandise, are frank enough to say
that they did heavier business the last
two months than they did for any given
period in the past two years, and that
also looks encouraging. There are more
people here now than for long time,
and, of course, the grocers are among
tho first to feel the good effects.
Henry Herman OF the firm OF Herman
Il Shloss, remarked that times are get
ting better generally, and that although
the smelters have been running steadily
anyhow, yet he found their store bust
ness increasing.
Ed Horn, OF the II Perlet cigar, to-
bacco, confectionery and notion store,
said yes, that they were having bigger
trade, hut he didn't know Just which to
attribute it, to the generally better times
on the hill or to ad, err tising in lie In
DIcAToR.
L. Fl. Foley, of the Foley Lumber Co.,
ls certain things are improving il the
business he is doing is any index, for he
is unusually busy
w. P. Swartz finds business good in
the druggist line and it is improving
right along.
Deacon Lsvvie says that cigar making
is brisk and that he has no kick coming
j. B. Taylor testifies that business is
fair, and, indeed, he is we'll established
and prospering.
w. S. Stewart finds business picking
up in the line of cigars, tobaceos and
confectioneries and is doing all right
And p. Sheeran is fortunate in seeing
his grocery business advancing in good
shape.
OF course the Colorado Trading Co. is
doing better business than for long
time on account of the steel works run
ming, and it will be better yet.

Lots of Iron Ore.

The Salida Record says: "Superin-
tendent T. b. Butler informs .he Record
that there are over l25 men at work on
the Orient mine, and he is employing
men as rapidly as he can engage them
and will not stop until he engages at
least 200 more. He is shipping 400 tons
OF ore per day, and expects to at least
double the output before he lets up
The Calumet will be opened up also as
soon as he gsts men enough to work

The Poultry Show.

Pueblo's second annual poultry 1how
will be held January 4th TO 9Th inclusive,
and it is expected from the interest
manifested IN the event that there will
be close to 1000 entries. DR.. A. A. Cor
bin has been chosen president Of the
association and W. A. Ruspini secretary
with o. T. Curtis as general supsrinten-

JUDGE HALLETr OF the United States
court put damper on the seemingly
unlimited rights Of the tunnel site q
few days ago. The case before him was
in the suit Of w. s. Stratton vs. The
Sovereign Gold Mining & Tunnel Co.,
wherein the plaintiff appealed for an
Injunction to restrain defendant from
tunneling under his lode claim. The
court granted the restraining order and
the public mind is very well pleased
that lode claim has some rights which
tunnel is obliged to respect.

Aldermen From Bessemer Die
Their DUTY

In its last issue The INDICATOR en-
tered complaint in the name of the peo-
Pile of Bessemer regarding the misuse OF
the city hall and asking the aldermen n
from this part OF the city to do their
duty and demand the free use OF the
hall for all worthy purposes. Acting
along this limo Aldermen Sinclair and
Colvin came to the scratch and made
the demand, which was granted.
Alderman Sinclair rose to the occasion
by Offering a resolution to the effect
that hereafter the Bessemer city hall be
given free except when used by lodges,
public dances or for entertainments
whore an admission fee is charged. The
resolution was adopted.
Alderman Colvin moved that the jani
tor be discharged but it was lost
And thus endsth another chapter in
the history of Ressemer.

RICH AND POOR.
[CarI Schurz to University Settlement
Society. I

[Carl Schurz to University Settlement
Society,"
do not think it is true what we hear
so frequently asserted, that under pres
ent conditions, as general rule, the
rich are constantly getting richer and
the poor are constantly getting poorer.
1t is undoubtedly true that some of the
rich are getting richer and some of the
poor are getting poorer. But am con-
WINGED careful and candid investiga-
ton Will show, as indeed II has already
shown, the general tendency is towards
a larger diffusion of material we'll being
among the greater masses OF the people
and towards greater equalization. The
constant decrease of the rate of inter
| est on invested capital is a significant
piece of evidence in this respect, ndi-
| eating that it is constantly becoming
more difficult for the rich to remain
rich without exertion.
| On the other hand, believe that ow-
ing to the spread of education and the
! development of higher aspirat tons
1 tween the different social conditions
created by wealth on one and poverty
! on the other side. are more keenly felt
| by the poorer classes than they were
/ before. especially in the large centres of
| population, where wealth and poverty
on an extensive scale meet face to face.
And think further that this keenness
of feeling-OccasiOnall as we must ex-
I pect, stimulated and sharpened by more
or less exciting agitation among the
poor, which agitation may also be help
| ed by provoking things done by the rich
! is apt to develop into social discOn-
tents and antagonisms which formerly
did not exist among us to- the same ex-
| tent.
! 1t appears to me that under such cir
cunstanceS in such a social atmosphere
not only should everything that is cal
4 culated needlessly to accentuate and to
J make more prOvOkingly palpable and
/ conspicuous. or even obstrusive the con-
! trastS I have been speaking of, be
avoided and discountenanced, but that
/ everything that tends to lessen the dis
| lance separating the social classes
| should be aided and promoted with
| SDecial SOlicitude

STRENGTH IN UNION.

Following in the line of combinations
In the interest of more economical pro-
duction and for the purpose of control
ling prices, called trusts, and combina-
lions of various lines of business under
one head for the more economical and
profitable distribution of products
known as department stores, an organ
ization is being formed in ST. Louis for
more economical living.
Since combinations of labor have led
to combinations of employers or vice
versa, it seems that any sort of union
of the persons belonging to one class
renders necessary the union of another
class whose interests are opposed to
these. The community of interests
which is said to exist or which it is
said should exist between class and
class sounds well as a theory, but in
practical every day life men have come
to believe that if they do not look out
for themselves, nobody will look out
for them unless it be those who are
bound to them in some sort of a bro
therhood or partnership where all give
or lose alike. Hence the tendency of
the age to organize societies wherein
the welfare of one is the concern of
all.
In no one direction has this tendency
been more strongly manifested than in
that of life insurance. The accumu1a-
ton of millions of wealth by old line
life insurance companies convinced the
people that more was being paid for
this kind of protection than was neces-
sary and the innumerabIe fraternal or
ganizations followed.
Now some people have concluded that
they are paying too much for their liv-
ing and get too small a share of what
they earn and the Altruistic society of

JAPAN BOWS TO THE YOKE.

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch says:
After the closing of the India mints
and the repeal of the Sherman law in the
United States. Japan appointed COM
mission to investigate and determine
whether not that government should
go to the single gold standard. Japan had
made all her wonderful progress, achieved
all her great prosperity and written all
her glorious history under bimetal lism
But the conspiracy. Matched in London a
quarter of a century earlier, eliminated
in the worldwide characterization of sill
yer. The weaker nations were forced, for
self-preservation, to bend their necks 10
the yoke.
Not until after the presidential election
of last year had definitely determined the
policy of this country for the next four
years. and all hope of relief had vanished,
did the Japanese commission report. Now.
it reports that the necessities of the Situa-
ton demand that Japan shall go to the
gold basis The Japanese statsmen saw,
as Bismarck saw and as wise men every
where saw clearly, that the United States
government was the only one strong
enough and independent enough to break
the gold chains of the English bankers.
They waited for this to be done, and when
it was not done they accepted the inevita-
ish talk of international monetary con-
ferences.
Japan's action is logical and unavoid-
able, but of course it will increase the
worlds hardship. 1t will add to the de-
mand for the inadequate supply of gold
now doing duty as the sole money of
commerce. The European bankers who
have the gold cornered will grow richer.
But the world will grow poorer.
