The Evening Star, of Washington, COM
ments as follows on Hayes's remark, that
"editors and newspapers do not always
represent the popular general feeling Of
the people, either North or South"
It is evident that Mr.. Hayes has con-
Cluded to accept the representations of a
charmed circle close about him, rather
than the voice of the press, as expressing
the sentiments of the country. This Is
an error into which some of the "Presi-
dents" official predecessors fell, and
which they lived long enough to deplore,
as we doubt not he in time also will. But
aside from the bad effect that this course
Is likely to have upon his administration,
and without in any way passing upon
the political problem which called out
the remark above quoted, we Indignantly
protest against the implied aspersion
thus put upon the press. 1t may be, and
doubtless is, technically true, as the
president" says, that newspapers do not
always correctly reflect public opinion
AS a general rule, however, they do, and
the sooner the officials of the country,
high and low, recognize and act upon
this fact, the better it will be all around.

Mr.. JOHNSON SHERRICK, of Stark
county, has been nominated by the
Democrats of the Stark>Carroll district
to take the place of Hon. A. R. Haines,
who was compelled to withdraw on &C
count of ill health. Mr.. Sherrick has
had an experience of four sessions in
the lower house Of our General Assem-
bly,, which we'll qualities him to make a
most useful member of the Senate. His
course in the House commanded the re-
spect OF all and in consequence Mr..
Sherrick was an influential member of
that body, and always gave the bust
ness his close and careful attention.

JOHN SHERMANS RESUMPTION
ACT.

IfJohn Sherman would turn his atten-
tion TO the dead beats in the Custom
House in New York Boston and Philadel-
pbia, instead Of looking after resumption
he would do the country more good. If
all departments of this government were
run as fair business man would run his
own business the people would be saved
a tax six times what all the premium on
gold amounts to in a year. What we want
are statesmen, not hobby men. John Sher
mans hobby is resumption. Send all the
dead beats and drones, that are now suck
ing government pap, out on the Northern
Pacific Railroad to dig or die, and this
country would be relieved of load that
is dragging it down. The people are all
satisfied with the money we now have.

WHEN Hon. William Allen was the
Democratic candidate for Governor, the

Allen was sound in body and mind =

while addressing the people. His keep

JOSEPH McGREGOR FOR REPRE-.
SENTATIVE.

Our Democratic friends have been
fortunate in securing the consent Of Mr.,
Joseph McGregor of Monroe township to
become their candidate for Representa-

ship, and as jolly man as ever turned
the soil; the rafting campaign he be,
slowed on Samuel Allen, the Radical
nominee for the Commissioners Office
three years ago, is well remembered by
leading Radicals, and much to their
chagrin. He was defeated by I46 votes,
only. The poor men and laboring men
generally of Carroll County should give
Mr.. McGregor their united support

iLy MUD.

The latest thing in the mining world
is the alleged discovery Of silver bear
ing mud in Wasco county, Oregon.
The mud comes to the surface through
the medium of boiling or bubbling
minerel springs. Professor Price, at
the instance of San Francisco capital
lists, went up to Oregon some time ago
to inspect the new discovery, which he
pronounced q fraud, stating that he
found both gold and silver, as we'll as
unmistakable evidence of sailing"
Now comes Professor Hanks in a
paper read before the California State
Geological Society last week, main
tanning that Professor Price was mis-
taken, and that the argentiferous mud
is not an artificial creation, but a
natural product. He also e a letter
from a gentleman.in Oregon, for whose
entire reliability he vouched, from
which the following is an extracts:
There is no mistake as tn this mud
containing silver. l have been here
over two months, and have a>sayed
over one hundred samples which con
tanned silver. some as high as $1,000 to
the ton. The samples l Obtained
from the springs myself. l think the
weather has considerable to do with
mud containing silver. l get the best
results when the weather is warm.
Sometimes, in the larger springs, when
the weather is cold, the mud will be OF
ayellow color, showing no silver, but
when the day is warm the mud Is
blackish. blue, at least in places, and
rich in silver. They seem to work
more actively on a warm afternoon.
Some Of them contain o great deal of
acid, the bones of animals that fall into
them being Dissolved in a few months.
There are old wells which assay from
IS to $500 per ton. One assay l made
from a fiat, half a mile from any
spring, assayed 500 to the ton. There
is y great deal of salt, almost pure, all
over the spring fiat. There are be-
tween 100 and 200 quartz leads dis
covered, running in two directions
close to the spring, and l find silver
in several of them, all the way from a
few dollars up to 500 per ton. Some
of these leads run through the springs;
ut least they point in that direction.
The altitude of this place, l should
