We UNDERSTAND the city council is
making every effort to give Canon
City better water to drink. In this
the council is to be highly commended.
The water question has been one of
the greatest drawbacks to our city's
growth. People coming to a noun
tain town naturally expect mountain
water, and they are disappointed at
the very hard and ofttimes muddy
water we have. If Canon City could
have clean, soft water it would GER
tainly be about the greatest benefit
we could hope for.

POLITICAL FACTS
AND GUESSES.

Another election is looming up in
the near distant future. Elections
have way of never being in the far
distant future in Colorado. They are
like the always with US. We
hardly recover after the strife and
turmoil of one contest when another
is upon US.
At the election this fall practically
all the county officers will be elected.
There will, of course, be only two full
tickets in the field. These will be the
Republican and Democratic. How
ever it is not unlikely that the Demo-
Gratis will make some sort of a hocus
pocus fusion with various members
of their disjointed organizations for
the effect it may have. A Colorado
Democrat has peculiar idea of fu-
sion ticket. No Democrat would be will
ing to stand on straight DEMOCRATIC
ticket. The last who did in this
county got just about $50 votes. A
Democrats idea of fusion ticket is
to put up all Democratic candidates,
but to have them come under every
name to be found in the Encyclopedia
Political. Thus we have Democrat,
Populist, Silver Republican, Teller
Silver Republican, Blood -Teller-Silver
Republican, Bryan Democrat, Gold
Democrat, Lincoln Democrat, and
some two dozen other high-sounding
names. But every candidate must be
Simon pure Democrat before he can
be accepted. This year they will, no
doubt, repeat the dose they have been
giving us in the past. And in their
dire extremity it wouldn't surprise US
if they invent few new names and
have Mckinley Democratic ticket,
for all admit the name Mckinley has
a charm about it that gets votes.
As to the result of the county cleo
tion there is hardly shadow of a
doubt. The only danger is in the
over-contidence of the Republicans
which has in the past let the other
people sneak in a man or two. The
Republicans today hold every county
Office excepting the judge and CON-
missioners, and it is highly probable
they will get these next November.
However, Democrat never gives
anything up. They even claimed
New York last fall, and what's more
spent money and made a hard fight
there. They will do the same thing
in Fremont county this fall, and some
of the highly imaginative even see the
possibility of victory ahead. It's fun
ny how little it takes to make Demo-
crat hopeful. Their staying quality
is one of their finest characteristics.

The course of procedure will proba-

The course of procedure will proba-
bly, be one general Democratic con-
vention and number of jury room
committee meetings where the numer-
GUS fusion names will be tackled on.
So with one convention where there
have usually been several, there will
be quite number of candidates. Of
course no slate has yet been fixed up,
but the places are being talked over
and the probable candidates beginning
to meaure their respective strength.
There will be plenty of Democrats
who want office. For instance, here
are few rumors: Candidates for
clerk will come from both Florence
and Canon City, Will Porter may put
up hard scrap for it. Frank Moore,
who seems to think Democratic
ticket would be complete failure
without his name, has been wanting
the place, but he will probably be
side-tracked as he is already state
senator, and a man of his calibre
shouldn't expect everything. Canon
City's two candidates are Ed Minor
and Archie White. Both are good
fellows, and each has a number of
friends who are Logging for their
nomination.
Don Champion, the present COM
missioner, is anxious to run for some
thing. Some say that he thinks the
treasurer's Office would fit him better
than the commissioners room, but the
wiser Democrats think better man
can be found for both places. Phil
Mcclure, of Florence, seems to be in
the lead for treasurer and may get
the plum-if indeed a nomination on
Democratic ticket can be called such.
For commissioner several good men
Z are DciuR tdihcu VI. lHeSe are
Messrs. Champion, Dave Walker, Dan
Hall and Henry Belknap.
While the RECORD has no desire to
help get up this slate, yet it must be
said that by all right of discovery,
the place should go to Mr.. Belknap if
Mr.. Champion does not have it. A
few years ago Mr.. Belknap ran on the
straight hardshell Democratic ticket
and got nearly as many votes as all
the other Democrats on his ticket
put together. He ought to be a
strong man.
For sheriff, unless David Houston
is candidate-on which point we
are not posted-George Columbia
seems to be the only man in the
field so far. Mr.. Columbia is
chiefly noted for the very successful
saloon he ran in Florence for years,
and he certainly has wide acquaint-
ance among those who patronize sa-
looms. From this point of view Mr..
Columbia would. no doubt, make an
ideal Democratic candidate.

Ad dition to Library.

Mr.. James H. Peabody, mayor of
Canon CITY, and ex-officio president
of the board of directors of the
Canon City Public Library, has made
a most generous donation to the
library of over two hundred volumes
of books, including complete set of
Geological and Agricultural Govern
ment Reports, some miscellaneous
books on Birds Of America, etc, and
a set of the War of the Rebellion,
which is in itself almost invaluable
for reference purposes. These his
torical volumes of the Rebellion
have high money value because Of
their rarity, and the library is indeed
fortunate in coming into possession
of them. The ladies' of the library
wish to publicly thank Mr.. Peabody
for this magnificent gift, which is
truly absincere manifestation of his
interest in the library.

Inccd StilI Further.

Washington. May 6.-After care
ful consideration of the situation in
the Philippines as it exists to-day
the administration has decided to
reduce the army in the Philippines
to 10000 men. The opinion prevails
here that this number will be ample
for the present needs of the service
in the islands, and if conditions con-
tinue to improve in the satisfactory
maner that has been shown in the
past few months the force may be
reduced still further. The expecta-
ton of the war department is that
all the volunteers now in the Philip
pines will have left the islands by
the end of June, leaving only the
regulars on duty there. Following
the departure of volunteers will
come the regulars who were sent to
Manila in 1898 just after the out
break of hostilties, and their move
ment home will continue until the
force is reduced to approximately
10000 men.

Akron, o., May e.--Two Northern
Ohio traction cars collided at the foot
of a steep hill on North Howard
street Sunday afternoon and there
were a dozen people injured. The
cars were loaded with passengers,
and were travelling close together.
For some reason the breaks on the
second car failed to work and 1t
dashed down the hill at q terrific
speed, striking the forward car, which
had stopped to take on more pas
sengers: Strange to say none on the
second car was injured except the
motorman, Scott, who sustained Sc
rious internal injuries. The rear
platform of the forward car was
crowded, and all on the platform were
more or less injured. r
The more seriously hurt are: John
Rausch, Dennison, left leg crushed
SO that amputation is necessary; Geo.
Auhenreith, Cuyahoga Falls, foot
crushed; John Hobacht, Akron, leg
crushed, amputation necessary; Miss
Georgia Copp, student, Akron, in

It is not believed that any of the
passengers on the forward car es-
capped without injuries of some kind.
Many of them went to their homes
in private conveyances and on the
electric cars and their names could
not be obtained. 1t is claimed the
city officials had warned the com
panv that cars were allowed to run
too fast down the hill A thorough
investigation of the accident will be
made.
