A remarkable occurrence was
witnessed at independence one
afternoon last week about half
past I o'clock. A very beautiful
meteor was seen to fall in the
eastern sky and its course was
observed until it had passed the
sky line of the Inyo range, and it
was plainly seen to fall in the val
ley with the mountains for back
ground. 1t appeared as large
mass of whitish green fire with
long tail and its fall was marked
with a series of undulations like
a rockets fight. 1t was brilliant
spectacle and must have been ex
ceedingly bright to have appeared
so bright in the day time.-Inyo

THE very laudable efforts of
Montrose to boom herself into a
city of ten thousand people might
we'll be made without trying to
steal something that belongs by
previous location to some other
point. To our mind the effort to
induce the railroad company to
move its Cimarron shops to Mont
rose, also to induce the company
to rebuild the lately bruned Ridg-
way shops at the tunnel city is an
act of piracy that should not be
committed. To profit by the mis-
fortunes of others often happens
without any effort on the part of
the beneficiary, but to seek such
profit is despicable, and this ap-
plies with equal force to individ-
uals and communities.

THE Paonia Booster is satisfied
that because the town of Paonia
will not be able to provide for a
large bond issue that the bonds
cannot carry. They think it
would be best to grant franchise
now and stop trying to own a
plant. How very natural when
viewed from a Booster stand
point. AS is usual with that
sheet they advocate very plain
error. 1T the town could vote
$4,000 in bonds the price fixed
by the council for the Beezley
plant would not have been any
higher than it is. A majority of
the body think $4,000 high but
are willing to pay that much to
make a finish Of discussion. The
bonds will carry and if the amount
is not sufficient to build a plant
we can wait a bit till revenues
from other sources make up the
difference. The first duty of the
people now is to see to it that
council is elected who will under
no circumstances grant a fran
chise. Permit the present plant
to run as long as its owner wishes
to run it. He is making money
and we are glad of it. Probably
in the course of year the town
can see it's way clear to buy or
build a plant. The NEWSPAPER
thinks the council should amend
their ordinance little yet before
passing it and cut the bond issue
proposal down trifle yet SO as to
be on the absolutely safe side.
Then hold the bonds after they
are voted until the council needs
the money.

FROM man who eschews poll
tics as something that interferes
with the flow of religious senti
ment, Bro. Frederick's activity in
telling all the parties what course
to take and who to nominate in
dicates that the Gezette editor is
meeting with change of heart.
His suggestions are all along the
line of his utterances IN his young
and unregeuerate days, and some
of US who knew him then. recog-
nize the symptoms. Those gentle
men who receive the mention of
the Gazette for public position
should remember that Fred is an
artful old geezer, who can strike
a political stilletto as deep in his
victim as any man who plays
practical politics as profession.
There is nothing to indicate that
sanctihcation has set in on him to
such an extent that he has for
gotten the modus operandi for
shifting his enemy hip and thigh.
You want to take Fred by the
rule of opposites. He always
looks saddest when he has the
best hand.

SUGAR COATING THE PILL.

1t is not often that we find
fault with an editorial utterance
in the Denver Times, but when
we read their Saturday evening
leading editorial and find it clos
ing with these lines, we feel like
saying a word in self defense:
The man who would array capi-
tai against labor or labor against
capital is an enemy of the Re-
public" Friendship Mr.. Times
is mutual or i. does not exist.
What is capital doing for labor
today or what has it been doing
for the last ten or twelve years
except exploit it? Is the Times
in a position to point to single
act of capital in the past twenty
years that indicates its friendship
for labor7 Is it friendly to labor
to compel them to trade at COM
pany ores or be fired? Is it
friendly to break the law and
make laboring men take scrip tor
their toll? Is it friendly to re-
fuse to discuss grievances with
them? Is 1t friendly to hire Japs
and Chinks to take their places
when they ask living wage? Is
it a friendly act to pay dividends
running into 25 to 35 per cent.
and cut wages to do it?
Such internal rot is an insult to
the intelligence of niggers and
yellow dogs, let alone American
citizenship. There is not man
in this country that reads that
does not know that SO far as cap
ital is concerned it has no friend
ship in the slightest degree for
the men who toll. 1t is not many
years ago that railroad man
ager said when importuned to ex-
anime a patent coupler for cars
as a device that would save life,
what do we want with a thing
that will cost US S75. to equip
car when we can hire brakemen
as fast as we kill them for that
much per month";" Was that
friendly remark1
Is it friendly to labor to work
them in mines under dangerous
conditions because it will de-
crease dividends to make the
mines safer1
What is the use of begging the
question IN this manner?

know that there is no sympathy
existing between capital and la
Dor. In the exceptional cases,
which only go to prove the rule.
man here and there feels an
honest sympathy for his employees
and if he is the manager for
corporation he is promptly fired
to make place for man who is
not afflicted with conscience.
We do hope that the Times
will not catch the Republican, S
complaint to such an extent as to
try to teach the laboring men
that capital has any regard for
them except as regards the days
works that there is in them.
