The use Of the plate IN placer or gray
q mining for saving the gold is the
Same as IN quartz mills. The silver
plated plates have the advantage Of
copper IN being ready the moment
they are amalgamated. They hold a
larger body Of mercury on tie plate,
and consequently save the gold. Cop
per plates require several weeks cor
slant rubbing with mercury or quick
silver before they are in any condi-
ton. They are also constantly show
ing verdigriS, which has to be re-
moved, thus also removing the ANAL

IS necessary always to place a "Tom"

WHEN party-leaders undertake, as
such, through the agency of nominal
ing machinery, to control municipal
election, which can have no reference
to Slate or Federal politics, the masses
of the people look upon the organiza-
ton that attempts to control results,
not as the proper machinery of party,
but as corrupt, Office-broking body.
They can see no reason why partisan
ship, that affects only State and FEEDER
al elections, should enter into munich
pal contests. Party nominate Ms there
fore become, in these local elections,
causes of weakness and sure agencies
of defeat as was illustrated in Memphis

THE newspaper correspondents, in
GLIDING "Roberts, -" of Don Piatt's Capi
tai, concur in saying that Mrs. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton was the best reasoner
and soundest philosopher and most
wise of all the writers, male or female,
who sat in solemn conclave last week
in Washington. She claims especially
for women who pay taxes in corpora
tions and for school purposes the right
to vote in local and school elections.
She inveighs against taxation without
representation and thinks if the prlvl-
lege be conferred upon ex-slaves it
should be upon women who were never
slaves. The South, politically at least,
one of the innocent speakers insisted,
has nothing to lose by the adoption of
Mrs. Stanton's theories. The colored
women would come to the ballot box,
she said, but these are outnumbered,
as two to one, by the white womer, and
the relative strength of Africa, if
woman suffrage obtain, would be great
ly lessened. Such was the argument
adduced, and we have only to say that
the women Of the South might readily
secure the privilege In corporations if
they sought 1t. Mrs. Stanton must
come South and wake them up.

We are very grievously afraid that
the criminality incident to the whole
sale slaughter of helpless negroes de-
Ponds rather upon the locality than
upon the murderous purpose of the
slayer. Stanley shot innocent, help
less, sbuddering blacks in Africa by
the score, and without a qualm of
conscience, and Congress thanks him
for it. When Congress sees a negro
killed, through Inter Ocean spectacles,
away down IN Texas, instead of thanks,
We catch curses. And yet he who
crosses Wharton county has seen as
much of Central Africa as this man
Stanley. The Wharton county traveller
is, too, the greater hero. Here we
have white men exciting negro ire
against white people; in Africa, the
poor blacks were not even warned that
the destroyer was at hand. The col :,
ored denizens of Wheatville and Rob-
ertson Hill aud of Wharton should en-
ter solemn ptotests against this action
Of Congress. Not only did Stanley
leave his path across benighted Africa
all stained with blood, but commerce
proposes to wash out the stains with
whisky, and yet the Inter Ocean bowls
about the WOES Of the poor negro in
Wharton county.

THE IMMENSELY OF SPAcE.-In a re.
cent lecture delivered in Edinburgh on
THE Stars" Professor Grant gave 9
graphic idea of the immensely of space.
He said a railway train travelisg night
and day at the rate of fifty miles an
hour would reach the moon in six
months, the sun in two hundred years,
and Alpha Centauri-the nearest of the
fixed stars-in forty-two millions OF
years. a ball from gun, travelling at
the rate of nine hundred miles an hour.
would reach Alpha Centauri in two
million seven hundred thousand years
while light, travelling at the rate OF
one hundred and eighty-five thousand
miles in a second, would not reach IL
in less than three years. Light from
same of the telescope stars would
take five thousand seven hundred aud
sixty years to reach the earth; and
from some of these clusters the dis
lance Is so great that light would take
half million OF yeaIs to pass 10 the
earth; so that We see objects not as
they really are, but as they were half q
million Of years ago. These stars
might have become extinct thousands
of years ago, aud jet their light might
present itself to as. AS 10 the magni-
tude Of the stars. be noticed that il
was computed that Alpha Lyra was
one hundred billions of miles distant
from the earth. and its magnitu5e and
splendor were a. twenty 70 one when
with our sun Similar in
Testigstions brought out the fact that
our sun was neither vastly greater nor
vastly less than the great majority Of
the stars.

HOW AND WHY THEY MIS-
REPRESENT THE COUNTRY.

The Louisville Kseaing Ners, like
many other publications east of the
Mississippi, III weary of the migration
of multitudes from the old to the new
States and from the home Of inhospita-
bic winter to the abiding place of end
less spring and summertime. Even
Kentucky INVITES farmers to its con-
fines, and Kentucky newspapers de-
plore the departure Texas-Eard of in
dustrious people, who reflect that even
in Kentucky winter closes, four or five
months each year, workshops and mills
and freezes the exuberant bosom Of
Mother Earth where clad in warmest
vestments of blue grass or giving out
to ''succulenl" populations the gener-
Gus milk Of human kindness known as
Old Bourbon. Dwellers in this Ken
lucky paradise are attracted by the
charms of Texas, and the Netcs would
arrest the course Of migratory multi
tndcs and writes of Texas as instructed
by the fouLnouthed Inter Ocean. On
the fifteenth instant the Neles said:
Several families that left this city
about fifteen months ago and settled in
Texas, near Dallas, have returned again
to Louisville, thoroughly Disguised
with the Lone Star State. They all say
that the worst place in America for q
poor man ia Texas, and unanimously
agree with Gen. Sheridan that ''if they
owned HI and Texas they'd rent ont
Texas and live in the other and more
salubrious place."
Ii this were true how could it hap
pen that the population of the county
OF Dallas is doubled each two years
and the wealth of the county
has been more than quadrdpled
in five years7 There is not in
the vicinity of Lexington, Ken
lucky, an equal area of cultivated land
that produces more per acre than that
about Dallas or this in the vicinity OF
Austin, or in the valleys of the Colora-
do and BraZos. The chocolate-colored
soil of the river valleys of Texas Is
simply matchless in productiveness, and
the black prairies are unequaled by
those of Southern Illinois. When the
lllinoisan reflects that his farm trans
ferred to the banks of the Colorado
would produce two, and, in some in
stances, four crops per annum, and
that an unresting sea breeze makes
each breath an intoxicating inhalation
of health and strength, he might be in
duced to question the absurd assertion
of tramps who win favor with the Neaos
by mlsrepreseptiag the condition and
attractions Of Texas. 1t was not "poor
men," as alleged by the NeOs, who
found Texas Objectionable, but idle
vagabonds from the slums of Louis
vile. No herdsman, shepherd, farmer
or grazier, having hands with which
to toll and energy to drive them, ever
found richer, more productive or beau
tiful farms and homes on Gods globe
than in the midst of the plains and
valleys Of Texas.

THE LONDON TIMES AND AMER.
ICAN FINANCE.

The STATEsMAS has declared again
and again that legislation against sill
Yer, and not oYer-abundance, had
caused the difference between it, as
5 coined, and gold. The highest author
ity in money matters, and the paper
having access to the wisest men and
greatest fnanciers, is the London
Times. Its assertions of fact and policy
are deemed final everywhere. The i'm
preston has been made upon the minds
of many and bondholders in this coun-
try have sought to make the country
believe that the reconciliation of sill
yer and its unlimited coinage and the
making of bonds payable in oliver
would at once drive gold out of the
United States and cause all countries to
ship silver in this direction. The Lon
don Times anticipates no such result.
1t 'doubts whether the holders OF
United States bonds would lose by the
change" "Silver," it says, ''as soon
as remonetized, would advance fully
Eve shiilings per ounce, and thus the
difference between silver and gold
would be almost obliterated." There
is in fact, though the Times may not
know it, an infinite chasm of emptiness
and vast aching void into which, after
reconciliation, silver will flow an end
less current. Each farmer and
laboring man will hoard coin even
when he will not paper money.
India is called the grave of the worlds
gold, and for the very reason tina. will
cause Americato be pronounced the sep
ulchre of its silver. Paper and poverty
had forced coin wholly out of the coun-
try, and nobody boards paper; but
when silver is once remonetized and
trade stimulated, and when CONNER
cial and agricultural activity gives en-
ployment even to the million tramps
drifting uselessly over the country,
there will be demand for silver in
thc NOuheiCSo NOlnCoIlC bIhusdCIlOuS D0-
tween farmers that will absorb these
coins more rapidly than American
minis can produce them. Silver, for
time, will be a drug in the market in
cities, but this evil will speedily be
remedIed. Silver will create market |
for itself, and the London Times is not |
|at fault. 1t is further asserted by the
london Times that nobody in Europe,
the Herald aud the World to the con.
ItrarY notwithstanding, believes that
silver reconciliation involves repudia-
ton. But these New York bondhold- |
ers' organs seek to produce the impress
SION that the restoration OF the old sill
|Fer dollar would be an act CT bad faith,
while the London Times declares that
The proposed legislation is uncontami-
mated with the slightest dishonesty or
purpose of reputation. There are
none to answer the facts and arguments
Of the Times. 1t is disinterested, thor
.oughly we'll informed, and has access
to the Bank of England's directors and
to the Rothschilds and Earrings. There
win be no plethora of silver, no expul-
sion of gold and no material deprecia-
Ton of Federal bonds. II bankers
and bondholders' cupidity did not over
leap itself they would hail with infn-
tie satisfaction the enactment of the
Bland silver bill. Without 1t no debtor
can pay what he owes, and without it
resumption is wholly impossible.

Philip Gilbert Hamerton, in his
papers on "Inteliectual Life" thus
talks to man who stopped his
paper:" Newspapers are to the civil
lied world what the daily housetslk is
to the members of the family-they
keep our daily interest in each other,
they save US from the evils of isolation.
To live as n member of the great white
race that has filed Europe and America
and colonized or conquered whatever
territory it has been pleased to occupy,
to share from day to day Its thoughts,
its cares, its inspirations, il is necessary
that every man should read his paper.
Why are the French peasants so bewil-
dered and at seat II is because they
never read q newspaper. And why are
the inhabitants of the United States,
though spread over q territory fourteen
times the srea Of France, so much more
capable of concert of action, so much
more alive and modern, so much more
interested in new discoveries of all
kinds, and capable of selecting aud
