STILL HARP1Na.


tains another long rambling editorial
upon the relative merits Of Sharon and
Tones, as aspirants for the office Of
| United States Senator. The writer
has tho consummate presumption to
reiterate his pretended belief that Mr..
sharon has not a friend III the world.
What sublime efYrontery, what refresh
ing lnfatuation to suppose that because
he, the editor Aforesaid, has from pi-
vate, interested motives, suddenly
turned against Sharon, that everybody
else necessarily hiss to do the same.
But this Is too transparent, and easily
comprehended altogether. Everybody
knows that It was not always thus with
this editor Of the Enterprise, and that
Sharon always had good reason to be
proud Of him, as n bosom friend, com
panion, and able, Industrious advocate.
His editorial o fthis morning, however.
Is tempered by moderation, and evil
dent advice Of friends, and far more
sensible than ho published about Sha-
ron last Friday. He objects to the
mercenary idea that the true Senate
rial merits Of Jones and Sharon are
founded upon stocks, or should be con-
,idered In connection Herewith, yet
he fails to diIconnect either himself or
them from that consideration, and goes
on to "bull :" Jones and "bear " Sha-
ron accordingly. He glorifles the GEL
erous, u%ncovetous soul Of Jones, thu
dear lover and benefactor OF the peo.
pie, who would not take any mine
which was out Of his reach, and who
"feels that his own good fortune (Sav-
age, not Crown Point,l 10 the better
for being shared In common with Ills
fellow-men," and goes on to argue
that II Jones' interests were furthered
by the recent excltedly, .unhealthily
advanced state Of the stock market, 80
were those OF every miner, and me-
chanlc, tradesmau and property hol-
Ter, man, woman, and child. lie L.
norss the fact that In that clse the pro-
fe~sslonal stock manipulation had all the
advantage, therefore would not, and
/ lid not suffer ruin with all those In
eerested ones when tho reactionary
crash came.
He argues that In the hands Of Sla-
ron the Crown Point never would have
paid a dividend, yet torgets that al
though the richest AMI most extensive
ore body ever discovered, 1t really was
not permitted to pay any dividend un-
I'll tho enriched proprletors had a
bountiful surplus on hand, after buy
Ing the control Of the Savage. Mines
with which Mr.. Sharon has been con-
nected have paid dividends regularly
for years before Jones ever saw the
Crown Point, and the Belcher, possess
Ing far less advantages, has paid divi'
dends coeval with It. II this argu'
ment IL good, why has not Jones al
ready commenced paying dividends
on the Savage mine, the immense rich
aess OF the new developments at the
lower levels OF which this same editor
has heretofore 80 ably and graphically
described. II, as the Enterpriss says,
Sharon has made money through this
,tock excitement. It is simply legitl-
mate, and he would be an Idiot II he
had not done so. He discouraged tho
excitement from the first as unhealthy,
and advised his friends to keep out Of
Il, but when stocks got up to the high
est figure, no ~judiclously sold, same as
did the only ones who made any money
out Of 1t. Judging from his this morn
ing's editorial, IL Is evident that the
Enterprise editor bought stocks Savage
perhapsl when they were up aud failed
to get out in time. He says In the
wind-up to his article: IF Mr. Sharon
fancles he Is making political capital
by depressing the stock market, he Il
strangely mistaken" The Enterprise
| editor should bear in mind that there
are always two sides to all questions,
and In the foregoing we have simply
tried to show him the side which hs Il
unable or unwilling to see, and which
he deludedly imagines his fellow citi'
zens also are unable to see.
