Conditions in Colorado.
"sAN FRANCISCO. March 8, 1st

SAN FRANCISCO, March 8, 1904.
Editor of The Call-Dear Sir: In
The Call of the 4th is a communica-
tion from w. H. Leonard regarding Mr..
George and the Citizens Alliance, in
which he misrepresents the labor con-
ditions in Colorado. What he says
about industrial war, paralyzed indus
tries, the smelling and ore mining oc-
cupations being tied up. business
houses closing their doors, etc, would
have been correct descriptions of con-
ditions a few months ago, when the
Western Federation of Miners ruled
and came near running much of the
State. They are not correct descrip-
tions of the present conditions
Cripple Creek, the storm center of
the late industrial war, was never more
prosperous than at present Its gold
production in January is reported to
have been greater than during any
preceding month in the camps history.
Its mines are working full handed, and
the only stores which l have heard of
closing their doors are those estab-
lished by the Federation of Miners.
Telluride, the second gold produc-
ing camp of the State, is in a more
prosperous and peaceable condition
than for years. 1t has long been ter
rorized by the federation. Somewhere
near score of men have been killed
there solely because they were nom
union men and others have disappeared
never to be heard of again by family
or friends.
'"The smelters have fired their idle
furnaces and the mills. samplers and
railroads are doing a good business.
For the first time in years unionism is
not being propagated with violence or
fear
This change is due to the Citizens
Alliance. in which Mr.. George was the
earliest and most effective worker.

Laugh on the Chaplain.

General Jubal Early, who holos
high place in the hearts or all FORMER
Confederate soldiers, was famous Ior
his love of a good jest, and many
witty thing said by him is retold Wheh-
ever Southern veterans get together.
Early was a broad minded, reVerent
man at heart, but he could not resist
the temptation sometimes to josh MS
friends about things they held most
sacred One of his intimates who had
to suffer on this account was the eeie-
brated preacher and soldier. the Rev.
DR.. Robert L. Dabney, we'll known In
later years as a leader among the
Southern Presbyterians and the author
of many theological works
When the war began Mr.. Dabney
became chaplain to a Virginia regl-
ment Later the friendship of Stone
wall Jackson, who was a devout Pres
byterian, led to his appointment as
Jackson's chief of staff. But he still
continued to preach to the soldiers, and
being intensely patriotic and Southern
in his sympathies his sermons were
apt to be largely exhortations designed
to fire the hearts of the Confederate
rank and file.
On one of the great battle1elds OF
the war Early happened to ride up 10
JacksOn's position just as the Yankee
cannon balls were beginning to be un-
comfortably thick in the air overhead
The members of Jacksons staff nat
urally got down pretty close TO their
saddles when one of these missiles shot
screaming through the air. Early saw
the famous fighting parson hugging his
horses neck.

chuckle, you don't seem to banker

BY authority.


There was quite a warm discussion
in one of the parlors of the Native
Daughters few nights since, and, as
there were two factions, each with a
strong array of supporters, there was
elimination and recrimination- Fin
ally one of the speakers called atten-
tion to a decision that had been made
by one of the grand presidents and
made the assertion that in that order
a decision by a grand president is the
law until it is set aside by the Grand
Parlor.
Some one on the other side asked
under what power the grand presi-
dent had made such a ruling and the
first speaker responded sententiously,
"ex cathedra."
The one who' had asked the ques-
ton, before the first speaker could say
another word, sprang to her feet and
president, the sister ought to know
that religious matters cannot be
brought up in the parlor and 1 hope
you will call her to order"
The first speaker continuing, said
that her dear sister must have misun-
derstood what she said, but that it was
her way of briefly announcing that the
grand president had acted by author
ity.
The interrupter simply said, "Oh,
thought the sister was about to quote
the law of some cathedral and 1 want
ed to stop it right at the beginning"
