Mr.. w. Scott may be very intelligent
sheep raiser, but when it comes to political
economy he is lamentably ignorant. Before
he makes the broad assertion that the demo-
cratic doctrine of a tariff-for-revenue- only
would ruin the sheep-growing interests, he
had better take the trouble to inform himself.
Such an assertion, without anything to back
it, will carry but little force, and democratic
wool growers should be wary of accepting
such statements.-S. A. Times.
The Times is the recognized organ of the
tariff Observation-Disclosures and express
ses the true inwardness of its party. Mr..
Scott, and every other wool grower who fav-
ors protection, should have the door slamed
in his face. .0..---

The San Francisco Call, in an editorial on
household work, says: There are in that CITY
not less than 5000 good places for women in
household service. There is no more drudg-
cry in this work than there is in one-half the
occupations in which men earn living. The
wages are liberal, the treatment as rule con-
siderate, and the home safe from temptation.
There are thousands of women with no rea-
sonable hope Of being so well off as they
would be as occupants Of these places, and vet
they will not apply for them, with steadfast
purpose of fitting themselves to perform the
duties expected Of them. Some do not like
work of any kind, while others willing to work
are reluctant to sacrifice the chances of social
position they can never hold without money or
honorable occupation.

- During the first FIVE months of 1882, says
an exchange, there have been built on 100
lines of railroad $3.50 miles OF track. Consid-
ering that only 1900 miles had been built at
this time last year, and that the building in
creases rapidly the latter half of the year, it
wonld be logical conclusion that the total of
this years building operations would be a.
600 miles, but, of course, this figure will not
be reached. Track has been laid in SO states
and territories this year, the largest amount
being in Texas and the smallest in New
Mexico.

Abont two years ago the GAZETTE
gave it, reasons tor opposing the re-
peal Of this law, aud in the interest
oi the poor tenants and the public
welfare appealed to the Legislature to
refuse to listen to those agents and
servants Of the capitalists who were
then as now clamorlng for the aboll-
ton Of the law.
What has the experience Of the in
teryening two years taught?
Ii was only by the Fl visiols Of thr
present system that our farmers "eie

The Kindred Conventsop,

As soon as order could be restored after the
boiling delegation had withdrawn, Chairman
Holmes called upon all Republicans who were
jority to remain. But few appeared to leave
the room.
On motion committee on credentials was
appointed; also committee of three on res
olutions and one of the same number on
permanent organization.
The committee on permanent organization
reported Geo. H. johnson, of Detroit, for
permanent chairman and D. J. Knox for
secretary. The report was unanimously
adopted amid wild cheers.
Col johnson came forward and spoke
substantially as follows:

and come before you in sack cloth and
ashes, as l admit that have in my pocket a
carefully prepared extemporaneous speech
which had proposed to have delivered In
nominating the Hon. Knute Nelson.

mencement of the campaign, and took no stock
in the hue and cry of nationality that
had been raised against him. l favored him
because he was soldier. When the country
was in danger he responded to the reveile Of
the nation, shouldered musket and for three
years Of shot and shell, through battle and to
death, he carried the eagle of his country and
his state to honor and to victory. Wounded

to shoot at, and consider him a good enough
Yankee for me to vote for to-day, but I be-

He has made fatal mistake and l can't fol-
low him to certain defeat, which this till ad-
vised movement will bring upon him.

addressed the boilers, giving his version of
the action OF the congressional district COM
mittee, it is but fair that / should give nv
statement OF the matter. Some DAYS ago
made copy of the counties and delegates and
the relative strength of the candidates. Under
the ruling that l proposed to make went to
MOOrhead and submitted it to Mr.. Comstock,
who heartily approved of it as way out OF
the difficulty. He went further and stated that
he would support the man thai was nominated
under that ruling. Elk Lieut.. Gov. Barto, also
was in my office yesterday, approved
of it, and only this morning
did hear that they had changed
| their minds, when heard that they proposed
| to depose me as chairman of the committee
unless assented to their dictation, to virtu
ally make our committee a committee on ere
dentials, and thus very upjustifably to ADM

from boiling conventions sufficient to give
large majority to the anti-Kindred combina-
| ton.

they are ths boilers and feel crestfallen.

THE ENCA urMENT.

A Quiet Day in Camp, Enuvened BY Hu-
mer0us Visitors.
There was very little Of interest Transporting
at the enbampment yesterday. The camp was
visited by number of citizens from differ.
emit portions Of the state, and
this, together with the visit
of the Chicago knights was about all that
broke the monotony of camp life during most
of the day. The boys have settled down to
the regular routine of military camp life, and
60 through their daily duties like little men,
or rather like soldiers.
The two battslious had brigade drill last
evening for the first time, and made a fine
display.
4 little military discipline was enacted
yesterday, in which private of company B,
Second battalion, was the victim. 1t
seems he refused TO accompany
the company into camp and yesterday ne
visited the camp with a couple OF lady
friends. Upon making his appearance he
was arrested and placed in the guard house,
and after being held some time was hooted
out of camp with orders not to return.
1t is understood that the grand review by the
governor and his staff will take place to-mor-
row (Friday)
The second battalion has concluded not to
! remain over Sunday but the different COM
/ panies will return home on Saturday.
