tion Of patronage, subject to the adverse
criticism OF tho disappointed. From
tho very nature of things much OF this
criticism must necessarily be unjust,
and in Governor Adams case some OF
the faulttinding is as harsh as it is un-
fair. The worst his critics can say is
that he made his appointments with Il
view to his own political future, but
while making the charge they must ad-
nit that in all instances his appoint
ments were also made out with view
to giving the public able and reliable Of
ticials. There may be instances in
which his judgment erred, but no
mans judgment is infallibls, and more
over, if there are mistakes they are
more il tho head than OF the heart.
Some of the governors most impatient
fault finders are to be found here in his
own city, but so far as we are aware
their criticisms are from a political
stand point. But Alva Adams has
started out to make a good record for
himself as the chief executive OF the
state, and it is safe to predict that he
will live down the unjust accusations 30
freely made against him.

FEDERAL PATRONAGE,

And how Pueblo Figures In the Deal.
There are several big federal plums
in Pueblo to be had by somebody, and
OF course the scramble for them is great.
The register OF the land Office gets a
salary of $1,000 per year.
The receiver OF the land office gets the
came, $1,000 per year.
The chief clerk OF the land office is
paid 81 200 per year, and two additional
clerks are paid $500 each.
The postmaster gets salary OF $1,000
annually.
OF the postal clerks there is one at
81 800; at $1,000 at 5000; , at $500; l
at 800; . at 5000; at $500; at 300.
In addition to these there are IA let
ter carriers at $3.50 each. Two substi-
tutes are allowed.
There is also the weather bureau man
who gets 1000 per annum for keeping
track OF the weather.
Besides these there is also the super
intendent OF construction and couple
of geodetic surveyors who draw pay
from Uncle Sam.
1t is superhuous to add that there
are applicants sufficient in the city to
fill all these offices, and it will not be
necessary to ship any official timber in

A MISERABLE ATTACK.
The Courier Strikes at Capital and
Enterprise Over the Shoulders
of the Workingmen.

The workingmen Of this community
are misreprssented and their cause
greatly injured by the frothy and dan
gerous emanations OF the Courier, pa
per that claims to be the official organ
OF organized labor in the city. 1t mis-
represents them because, through it's
small, pessimistic rantings, its constant
snarling at capital, and its anarchistic
views, it misrepresents the workingmen
of the city, and 1t does them injustice
and an injury by antagonizing the IN
tsrests of men who, through their
money are enabled to go ahead with
improvements and thus employ others.
To illustrate the point in view we
take from last week s issue Of the Cour-
Ter the following conversation which the
Courier pretends to have had with a la
borer at the Philadelphia smelter. The
MISERABLE, ranting article is headed
"He Could Almost See the Point
Here it is in all its absurdity:
! We met one Of our most industrious
and respectable citizens yesterday, and
after exchanging election pleasantries
remarked:
well, Tom, are You still working at
the Philadelphia smelter?'
yes
Been there good while, amt your"
"About seven years.
"Well, well. By the way, l see you
and the other boys out at the smelter
are building big business block on
Main and Fourth street on your vacant
lot
"How SO? | haven't any lot The
longer | work the poorer | get and il |
| should be sick for week | believe
Jane and the babies would actually go
hungry"
$50, so; the building may not exactly
be yours, but you and the boys are pay
ing for it all the same The Guggen-
helms swn the smeter and they aim to
make profit on every man in their
employ. This profit amounts to SO
much that the Guggenheims can't
spend it all on personal needs and 30
they erect big building with part OF
it. Then they will rent the building to
large department store at handsome
rental. The department store keeper
will add the rent to the cost of the goods
on sale, and SO the Guggenheims will
make another profit off of you. Do you
ses?'
"Thunder and Mars, never thought
of it in that way" he said and walked
away.
Tom seemed to be thinking hard
about something, and we suppose it
must have been his own ard fellow
servants fate az wage earners. How
the profits that were made on his work
would put up big building, but he
don't own It! How he was producing
all and accumulating nothing. How
the Guggenhsims were producing moth
ing and getting all. Yes; he could al
most see the point.
Now isn't that logical, public spirit
cd bit OF argument? The thing is dis
gusting, and when one has read it his
natural reflection would be: l would
Just like to see the X rays turned on
the added brains OF the man who was
capable OF getting up such an anar
chistic scrsed.
But let the reader judge for himself.
However, we beg that no one will think
for moment that the workingmen OF
Pueblo take any stock in such nonsense,
and the Courier does them great injury
by placing them in this false light.

IN DURANGO VILE.
Bessemer Boys Arrested Charged
With Burglary.

Readers of the INDICATOR will remem-
Der the account of the burglary pub
lished in these columns committed in
Taylor & Fanning's store the night of
March 2ith. On Tuesday night of this
week Detectives Parvin and Hobson ar
rested four boys charged with the deed.
The names of the boys arrested are
as follows: Thomas Williams, Charles
Finn, John Lewis, and William Maur-
er, and they range in ages from about
l6 to 20 years. AS far as can be learned
1t seems that the boys were going out
on hunting trip and they helped
themselves to sack OF flour, ham OF
meat, cigars, tobacco etc, to take along
with them.
Other arrests will follow, and then
the boys will have hearing. Evidence
Is being procured to implicate them
with the robbery of the Trading Co.
store about the evening of March 9th.
1t is also suspected that this is part of
the gang that robbed j. McCurdy's shoe
shop. The boys are now in the county
jail.
1t looks bad to see such youngsters
arrested for this sort OF business, and
friends are hoping that their innocence
will be established.
LATER-Themas Williams, Charles
Finn and John Lewis were brought be-
fore Justice Low and the time for a
hearing set for the 23rd inst. Lewis
took change OF venue to Justice
Carey's court. In the meantime all
three boys are in the county jail.
