Hanna the Hypocrite.

Senator Hanna has become so
engrossed with his pet scheme OF
labor abltration that he can not
as much as be prevailed upon to
become a candidate for the Senate
again. He will devote his entire
time, it seems, to the Civic Federa-
ton and it's great plan OF prevent
ing strikes and lock outs And

Hanna upon general principles,

infamous trickery us TO come forth

New City Market:

At the called session of the
city council Tuesday night to
consider bids for building the
proposed market house and city
hall, there was no quorum, some
of the members being absent from
the city.
We are informed that there is
a strong sentiment against build
ing the market house and that
strong petition protesting against
it has been presented to the
mayor; the petitioners urging that
they prefer the convenience OF the
present system of peddling carts
that oring meats and vegetables
to their homes; also that they are
already taxed to the full limit,
and fear an additional tax burden,
as they don't believe the market
, house will return suflici ent reve
! nue. to pay insurance and interesl
on the money borrowed.
We also learn that the mayor
and council are solid for carry
ing out the resolution already
; passed for erecting the building
! Mayor Moore says the plan is t.
borrow the money at 5 per cent III
terest and build a handsome niar
, ket house, city hall and engin
house to cost about so, 900, CIV
ing mortgage notes on the pre-
perty for security; that he ha
= made a careful calculation an
/ that the market house will brin
handsome revenue to the tow
treasury, and that the bulldln
en- will not cost the tax payers
re single additional dollar.
-tei The town certainly needs a cl
or hall and badly needs a sultat
,s room to house our fine fire engin
and if the mayor and council C
carry out their plans witho
- - raising the taxes, it seems to
ra that the town would be benefit
nes by such handsome public ilnpro
i'm ments as is proposed. Also
the ten or twelve thousand dollars
ou, in circulation would not be a

Methodism has barely held it's own

that these four days at the end of the

A TRIUMPH FOR RIGHT
AND OEcENcY

In seating Representative Cooper of
San Juan county the state canvassing
board simply did their plain duty un-
der the law
There never was the slightest
doubt of Mr. Coopers election, but
because his majority over Mr.. White
law was very small a few shysters
and tricksters connected with the
Democratic machine undertook to re-
verse the will of the voters by throw
Ing out a Republican precinct
OF course the ignorant and partisan
Governor Orman approved that vile
conspiracy and the feeble and spotted
Treasurer Chipley did likewise.
Secretary Mills, Auditor Crouter
and Attorney General Post, however,
had sufficient knowledge of the law
and respect for their oath of Office to
stand fast for the right. and their
course will be heartily commended
by all fair-minded citizens.
No political significance attaches to
the seating of Mr.. Cooper. as the in
coming house would have a Republi-
can majority from the start, even If
he had been defrauded of his rights

OWNERS PoWERLESS TO
HELP STARVING CATTLE

Denver Republican; Owners of
thousands of cattle starving on the
range in northwestern Colorado have
answered the appeals OF the Humane
society. They say that they are eager
to save their stock if they can, as
matter of business, as well as of hu
manity, but cant do 1t. The cattle
are showed in ON the high range in
Routt and Rio Blanco counties, with
out pasture and without water. 1t is
impossible to get feed to them, and
equally impossible to drive them into
suitable winter quarters.
The replies to the letters sent out
as result of Agent Kerr's recent in
yestigation are all Of the same tenor
If the Humane society can suggest a
way 10 save the cattle their owners
will be only too glad to avail them
selves OF it. Because of the lack of
pasture elsewhere, thousands more
thar the usual number Of cattle were
turned out to pasture in the high
lands OF northwestern Colorado. Ora
HALEY, of Wyoming, famous cattle
raiser. wrote Secretary Whitehead
that he would lose thousands of dol
lars by his inability to reach his stock
in Browns park, near the Utah line.
The lack of proper pasture ON the
public range has become source of
serious inconvenience to the farmers
of Weld county. Without food or wa
ter, the range cattle have turned to
the farms. breaking down fences.
running fields and even blocking
roads. For years this matter has
been cause OF friction between the
farmers and cattlemen in Weld coun-
ty petition signed by 2S5 farmers
in that county was received yesterday
by Secretary Whitehead of the HUI
| name society. asking his assistance
in securing the passage by the next
Legislature of an effective estray
] law, to replace the present useless
act" The farmers suggest that a
pound-master he selected with power
! to take charge Of these marauding
| bands of cattle. Secretary White
head answered yesterday that the
1 farmers had the remedy already in
| their own hands, and urged them tc
| make use of it, If the owner refuses
J ot pay his bill, the agent may sell the

CANADIAN FREE FISH,"

Atlantic Monthly: Americans have
cause to fear Canadian competition.
The Canadians can prosecute the fish
Industry much more advantageously
than the Americans. The fishermen
along the coast can secure fresh fish
every day with their small boats and
ship it by train across the border, SO
thai it may be on sale in New York
within twenty-four hours. The Ca
nadians are also helped by their less
expensive methods of fishing. Their
vessels outfits and upkeep are cheap
or. and their crews receive less wages
so that they would handicap the
Americans not a little from this
cause They operate about one-third
cheaper than the Americans, and they
have sum of s1S0,OO0 distributed
among them In fishing bounties every
year 1t is certain. therefore, that II
the Crited States tariff did not pro
tect the home catch there would be
much more Canadian fish marketed
in New England.

CHILD LABOR FOR TWELVE
HOURS EACH NIGHT

In the speech which John Mitchell
delivered at Spring Valley occur
these words: IF the workingman
would do his duty there would be no
little girls in the mills and mines
On the same day one little girl
testified before the strike commission
that she worked in the mills from
$50 o'clock in the evening till $50
O'Clock in the morning for G5 cents
night, though she was under fourteen
years of age, and she added in re-
sponse to an inquiry from Judge Gray
that her father was a mine worker.
Another girl twelve years old said
she worked twelve hours night at
cents an hour, though her father
was well enough off to own the house
in which they lived. and a third child
of thirteen who was employed in
silk mill, where she received 66 cents
for twelve hours work each night,
said that her stepfather with whom
she lived. owned his house.
These witnesses give a special en-
pllasis to Mr. Mitchells remarks
While the low wages of parents
have probably been the chief cause of
child labor in the mining regions.
such cases as theirs can be explained
only by the tolerant public sentiment
The imported laborer who was
brought over here to stimulate our
infant industries by hiring out his
own infants at 3 cents an hour has
had too little change in his environ
ment to help create proper public
sentiment. If he lays money aside
it is still amid scenes of misery and
squalor, and his highest conception
is material greed.
But where such cases as those
which we have reported are found the
labor that is appealing to the public
sentiment of the whole country
should charge itself with the enforce
ment of the law against child labor.
If capital has the great responsibility
for the general conditions it would
still be very bad policy not to face the
fact of responsibility which also
rests upon labor.-Chicago Record
Herald.
