GOLD.

The Recent Find in the Upper Peninsula
Milwaukee Special to Chicago Tribune.
Concerning the gold discoveries on the upper
Michigan peninsula, the Escanaba Iron Port of
yesterday has the following:
There is no question of doubt now but that
certain portions of the Emmett mine ore con-
tain large amounts of pure gold, which in some
of the best specimens show quite distinctly
upon the surface. We must confess that we
were som ,what astOnshed when we first heard
of it. but after investigating the story, examin-
ing the ore and seeing the unnistakable pre-
cious metal present itself on the surface, we had
to be convinced. The latest assay, Judge In
CALLS informs us, yielded at the rate of 81, 400
to the ton. This must undoubtedly have been
from selected ore. although some Of the pieces
that We have examined would go much higher
The question Of separation, the judge thinks is
comparatively easy one, as he is satifed that il
can be treated readily with quicksilver. II
may have to be roasted to eliminate the sulphur
which is incorporated in small quantities with
it. The process of pulverizing and amalgamat-
ing subsequently it will be quite simple. A
prominent assayist of Chicago assured him that
with all the surroundings favorable, he thought
that the extraction of the gold and silver could
be made at cost not exceeding two dollars a
ton. The judge is anxious to try the separa-
ton on large scale, and would send a ton OF
so to some stamp mill providing there was one
anywhere near. In case he should not be able
to do SO, he may for trial purposes build an old.
fashioned Mexican arastra, which in the case Of
free gold. to be collected with quicksilver, is
Just as effective as anything else. OF course
many stories are afloat in regard to this strange
discovery, and the further they travel the
larger they become, until specks and fine scales
of gold have become sizeable nuggets, and some
of the nuggets are increasing in size. There
can now be no doubt but gold mine ex-
lists on the upper Peninsula of Michigan, thirty
four miles west from this port.
We have obtained the exact analysis. as pro
cured by MIR. Thomas Breen, who has just re
turned from Chicago.

JUDGE ORsAMus COLE, who has just been
reelected associate justice of the supreme
court of Wisconsin, has occupied the po-
sition for many years, and is jurist of
recognized ability. While not possessing q
brilliant mind, he is careful, studious and
experienced. Though elected on the Re-
publican ticket he is not an active partisan,
and can hardly be said to have had oppo-
sltion. The practice has grown up in Wis

the expense of the firm. Then another
house was built on the firms land and sup
piled out of the common fund with all house
keeping requisites. Since then their lands
have been titled; they have dealt
in lands, and at present own extern
sive lands in Kansas, besides some seven
hundred or eight hundred acres in West
port. Such securities as they owned-the
surplus earnings of many years of thrift
were invested entirely in DOminick's name.
Every dollar of expense and earnings Of
each family were partnership account, and
the accumulation was never divided until
yesterday. In fact, everything they had,
but their wives and babies, were firm prop
crty. They lived in perfect concord, with
out single difference or discord on the part
of themselves or families. Dominick, by
reason of his disablement, naturally attend
ed to the general business, and Martin devot-
cd himself most assiduously to the cultiva-
ton of the farms.
They we're both in feeling disinclined to
disturb the existing order of things. But as
the years begen to whiten their heads, and
their children to approach mature age, they
felt it a duty to dissolve this complex rela-
ton. Their method of doing this was as
novel as their previous dealings had been.
They went to their counsel and entered into
carefully prepared written agreement, ar
ranging for division and dissolution, to carry
out which, at whatever cost of personal dis
appointment, they bound themselves by the
most solemn covenants. Their respective
houses were unlike in value and desira-
bility. In dividing these and assigning to
each his part they sold the right
of choice to the highest bidder of the two
It was agreed that, should change OF
houses be caused by their division, the entire
household effects used by each should be left
in the house he moved from, and that only
the clothing of the family, the family bible
and the pictures should be taken to the new
home. The right of choice was awarded to
Dominick, and he chose the house of Martin
who generously yielded it, as Dominick's
family was TIE larger, and needed the larger
house. So they are to change households
each taking his wife, children and thei1
clothing, bible and pictures, leaving every
thing else, and proceed to the home of the
other and own and occupy it henceforth
It cost their wives sigh of regret, but they
cheerfully entered into this arrangement
and it was carried out with perfect con
fdence and good feeling. They have effected
a division of all their lands except the Kansa!
lands, and, for the first time since they wer,
householders, tney may be said to own
spoon or knife, fork, plate or tin dippe
which is not partnership property.

in an endeavor to control the politics of the
city was received with derision, vet it was

advocate their cause, or friendly hand to
help them in any branch of the government,
they have grown till they poll an average of
twelve thousand votes, and at the election on

In a case involving the legality of certain

the court decided that the right to incur a
debt carries with it the power to provide fol-

The increase of nearly a million dollars
in the public debt during March must not
be considered as remarkable. The truth is
that there is no general election near at
hand, and there is no immediate necessity,
therefore, of showing decrease. It's only
during political campaigns that the econo-
my of the administration is made manifest
in regular reductions of the public debt.

TROOPS ~ THE POLLS,


The debate in the House on the political
amendments to the appropriation bills is
necessary infliction. We presume that the
public in general is interested in the discus
sion, We hope so, at least, for there is little
else to regale the public with. Mr.. Will
lisms, of Visor nsin, with his curly hair and
his eloquence, succeeded on Wednesday in
e1tinguishiug the last vestage of the rebel
lion that most people had supposed was
quelled fourteen years ago. He declaimed
most vehemently against the repeal of the
law that had been enacted to maintain Re-
publican ascendancy, declaring that it was
the only bar to the indulgence of the Dem
ocrats in their favorite pastime of shooting
negroes. He regarded the prohibition of
troops at the polls as the center OF the whole
question of federal authority and national
perpetuity. We are glad that such an
avowal has been made by authority. 1t
amounts to declaration that troops are q
necessary adjunct of Republican govern
ment, and that without them the federal
authority and the national existence cannot
be maintained. Such a proposition is in
consonance with the whole policy of the Re
publican party, but it is opposed to the ira
ditions and the principles of the Democracy,
and will be opposed by the Democrats as
long as such party has an existence.
In this proposition resides the difference
between the two parties. The Republican
ho1I 10 +ho ho1io of rot &hn
employment of force, government is a
failure. The Democrats hold that the peo-
pie are competent to govern themselves, and
ought to be entrusted with that privilege OF
duty. The Democratic idea is that man
ought to be allowed to cast his vote as he
chooses, without molestation, and that even
the suggestion of force is an infringement of
the rights of the citizen. We claim, on behalf
of the people, tho right to deposit free bal
lot, without menace from federal or any
other authority. We insist that the federal
government has no right under the constitu-
| ton to attempt to interfere with the free ex
preston of the will of the people at the bal
lot box, and that the presence of troops at
the polls is positive threat to every citizen
to vote as the central power that governs
those troops may direct.
In Minnesota we know but little of bayo.
net rule. But in other sections of the coun-
try the case is different. The experience ol
the past has been sufficient to show to US
that the army can be used as political en-.
gine, and we know by common report that it
has been used thus in other sections of the
country. Therefore, while we do not com
plain that the presence of troops at the polls
has abridged the rights of any citizen of
this State, we claim that it has been so used
| elsewhere. We insist, therefore, that this
interference with the freedom of the fran.
chise be prohibited at once and forever. The
Democratic party needs no support other
than that which comes from the people, and
it asks none. 1t does not propose to leave
upon the statute books an act that is in it.
