succeeded in breaking up these
nightly revels of the young heath
ems in that place. Since that time,
however. the kids have been con-
gregating farther down the street,
away from the lights. aud to say
that they make life burden to
some of the residents of that sec
tion would be putting it mildly.
Saturday night they amused
themselves by shying brickbats at
the back door of the residence of
prominent citizen of the North
Side, who swears that if neither
the parents nor the town can pro-
tect him against such outrages, he
will take matters into his own
hands, and there will probably be
some more additions to the roll of
the reform school at Golden, or
there will be business for our To-
cal surgeons if these impish depre-
dations are continued.
1t is notorious fact that there
is a band of illbred young hyenas
in that part of town as incorrigi-
BILE as the devil himself, and no
doubt it is most perplexing prob
lem with our peace officers as to
what can be done with them. If
private citizens can conceive some
method by which their nocturnal
carousals can be stopped, they will
have the eternal gratitude of men
of their own day and generation,
and may spare future courts and
penitentiary wardens from painful
duties.

President Jeffery's Policy i.

The Rio Grande has been criti-
cised some for not purchasing the
Florence q Cripple Greek railway
and other lines that have been in
grated into the Colorado S South
ern deal. Upon inquiry it has
been ascertained that the different
interests entering into the trans
action had been offered to the Rio
Grande first and that Mr.. Jeffery
declined the offer to sell.
A Rio Grande official, discussing
the matter, said: "You will see
that Mr.. Jeifery came out all right
He saw some reason why he did
not want to buy. He has been
criticised some because of his econ
omy, in some instances, and that
which seemed poor policy in other
cases, but he always seems to do

GRAND FUNCTIONS EXAr1PLE.

Corruption in municipal politics
has received knockout blow in
Grand junction that is worth all
the theoretical remedies ever in
vented or promulgated Two al
dermen have been convicted of
implication in connection with the
recent water works contest and
sentenced in the district court to
six months Imprisonment and a
fine of 500 each and costs.
There is an object lesson in this
case which should not be lost on
other cities and other communities.
The buying of municipal legisla-
tors is one of the commonest crimes
practiced in the United States at
the present time. Not a few muni-
cipal corporations retains al "at-
torney" for no other purpose than
to corrupt city councils. If man
desires to retain his integrity and
his vote is needed, every possible
means to induce him to accept a
bribe is resorted to. On the other
hand, it is true that many men
seek these positions in order to be
bribed, and with them it is only a
question of price.
If memory serves US right, these
are the first. convictions ever at

aldermanic bribery. That this is

municipal history of forty years

secutions of this character. 1t has
been reserved for the chief city of
the western slope to set an example
that can be protitably followed by
every other city in Colorado.
There can be no better or more
effective method of putting a stop
to traffic in the votes of the city
councils than by populating jails
and prisons with those who give

THE FUTURE OF FLORENCE.

THE FUTURE OF FLORENCE.
THE TRIBUNE has for some time
been felicitating the town on the
prospects of Florence through the
smelling and ore reduction posi-
hilities of the future, and yet it is
a subject that under present con-
ditions cannot grow burdensome
to the readers of this paper That
more mills will be built in Colora-
do within a short time is generally
recognized, as the situation so OBJ
biously demands it. This is made
plain by the following extract,
which appeared in yesterdays is
sue of the Mining Record;
"The Western condition is du-
plicate of the Eastern. The gen.
eral complaint is the increased
output of the mines and demand
for supplies has created situation
which the railroads.. mills and
smelters are unable to control.
The roads are doing their best, and
so are the mills, but the output is
steadily increasing. There seems
to be but one remedy, the erection
of local mills and plants for ore
treatment, which would in time re-
duce the demand on the roads.
There are a great many splendid
opportunities for capital to double
itself by the erection of suitable
plants at central points among the
mining districts of Colorado. The
Record believes, if the matter
could be properly presented to in
v,siors. there need be no dearth of
capital to help out the growing
need of greater facilities for treat
ing the product of the mines.
There is some talk of closing down
mum, rous properties on account of
this surplus of ore and lack of
treatment facilities"
The conditions that exist as pre-
sented above are well known in
the East, as is evidenced by the
fact that only yesterday our people
received communication from
eastern capitalists, stating that
they expected to erect a smelter
somewhere in the state of Colorado.
The most pleasing feature of the
letter was the statement that Flor
ence had been brought to their no.
tice as natural smelling point,
and request for information con
cerning the matter,
Never in her history has the fu-
ture of Florence been so bright as
it is at the present time. Her ex-
ceptionally advantageous position
AS a milling center is becoming
widely known, and the extensive
investment of capital here will fol-
low as naturally as the dawn fol-
lows the night During the past
five years Florence has had a phe-
nominal growth, but she is still in
her infancy. Another five years
will work wonders in her develop
ment and the time is not far dis
taut when she will be the queen
city of the Arkansas valley.

A rare pleasure was afforded us last
Friday evening in the opportunity to
visit with Arthur F. Stone in his lecture
on the famous Italian cities. Mr.. Stone
is an easy talker, with quick eye, alike,
for the humorous and the picturesque,
and in our "Rambles in Italy" with him
we saw not alone the memorials of
ancient greatness and the monuments of
modern art, but that which is not al
ways found in the books, the people in
their daily walk and life. The lecture
was living picture of men and things.
