The PrOtectionist organ sneeringly
remarks:
1T would be difficult TO frame two
propositions which. taken together.
could be made TO mean less. The one is
an alkali and the other an acid. and
they ueutralize each other. The modi-

Democratic party, since it means any

Srasped by ordinary minds. However.
as the proposition appears little
above the nut OF the political nlchy-
mist Of ths Enterprise, We will call at
tention TO the fact that aside from the
tariff, there is what is known as the In-
ternal Revenue system, aud it is this
unnecessary tax to which the latter
clause i'll the Suns platform allnd,s. 1t
is now generally conceded that
the vast surplus accumulated in the
United States Treasury over aud

1t is in keeping with the political

Enterprise: Down in Flowery Dis
trict, some miners who were prospect
ing hbou; two miles north OF the Lady
Bryan mine, had quite an astonishing
experience. They were drilling hole
into a quartz vein on the side of a
mountain, preparatory to putting in u
blast. One OF the men vas holding aud
turning the drill while the other was
striking. Suddenly blow from the
hammer sent the drill out Of sight. In
siantly stream OF water spouted up to
the hight Of forty or fifty feet. Tho
water came out the full SIZE OF the drill
hole and was spouted for over an 'honr,
when it gradually failed aud ceased TO

and blowing of tho top of the qarlz
vein, discovered some four feet below
the su,fhce large cscvics or cavity,
which extended as for up the hill as
they could probe it.

Americans are given TO complaining
Of the slow course Of justice in this
country, and there is no doubt that in
the cases of notable or wealthy crimi-
nails the laws delays are frequently in
voked to the detriment OF Justice and
against tho safety Of society. Such n
state of facts would not. however, jns
tify the other extreme, so prevalent in
Greut Britain. While We may, as in
the case of Wheeler, tho stranger. al

tude. and carry the principle OF giving
the prisoner the benefit Of the doubt q
little farther than the circumstances
justify, It is better thus than TO admin

all these the world call failures.
And yet, if its sight was keener it
might see those lives which seemed
to have missed their mark becaue
their aim was over the heads of the
multitude, or because tho arrow was
sped by too eager a hand in too
rash youth because they look SO
lost, so purposeless, SO barren of at
tainment, so devoid of objects or
fruition, have sometimes nobler
deeds in them and purer sacrifice
than lies in the range of their mar
row vision. Who can tell of the
sweet, dead dreams, of the noble,
vain desires, of the WEAKNESS of fu-
tile longing, of the silent arts of
pure nobility, of secret treasures Of
unfathomed love which may lie
within that which seems to your
sight even as waste untitled, as a
fire burned out, as a harp without
chords, as bird without song.

be true and the shareholders
had practiced good morality, per-
haps we would have been of the
same old stamp of ebony. The
young generation are becoming q
curse to the land, solely because they
are being taught the school-book
and Bible and are men enough to
know that God created all men
equal and will not draw in his col
ors when commanded by the proud
Anglo-Saxon when he is in the
right; for this reason they are a
curse to the land, because they
know that the Constitution OF the
U. S. gives them the same right
which you have, and because they
practice it, they are becoming a
curse to the land. Because they
can read their own ballot they are
still greater curse to the land, be-
cause they hold positions of trust
and honor and legislate for you,
they greater curse to the land
With one voice the whole race sing
in chorus, Amen and Amen. He
who does the most evil is the great
est curse take that as you please.
Again he says: he is lazy and
indolent by nature, does not concern
himself about tomorrow if he has
anything to eat to-day"
The gentleman seems to forget
that all men are created equal by
nature the same amount of talent
is given each man, We do not get
ours cultivated as early as you be-
cause our fathers had 25O years
stolen from them, in which time
you got the advantage. That is Gu.
rious. 1t was very dishonorably
gotten, and it is very honestly get
ting away from you. T. L. N.

Hidden Treasures.

Away in some quiet country home
have lived some one itch in the glo-
rious deeds and who dreamed Of
wondrous things they could do in
the world. With genius in their
brain and ambitious fever in his
beart, goes forth from his home to
pursue his own path to greatness.
He goes from the free country, from
Gods pure lir and sunshine, into
the furnace where the souls of the
Norman worshipers are being ever
consumed and their vices and pas.
sions spreads as it were a veil be.
tween them and the light. Misfor-
tune overtakes him, he loses courage
until he sinks to "a mere nothing,
forgotten and unnoticed.
The student in school dreams OF
the time when he shall stand before
the world and with his eloquence
sweep away the old abuses and win
men back to truth. lie enters the
arena and finds his honor derided,
his truth doubted, his noble aspira-
tions snecrcd at as being impracti-
cal, is forced to bow to the storm.

take the pistol from his pocket, and
though he raised much excitement
in that quiet locality, used much of
profane language in the hearing of
ladies and shot up the sidewalk. it
is opposed nothing more will be
heard of it.
