The Democratic congressman who, in
speaking of the tariff bill, said he would
vote for no measure which takes the tax
from national banks and taxes salt, ex-
pressed the character of the pending meas
ure in a few words. Both the bill before
the senate and that before the house are
framed wholly in the interest of the mo-
nopolies and against the people. They
reduce the revenue from sources that are
able to pay taxes, and increase taxation
upon the necessaries of life.

By the resignation of the Hon. Henry
M. Rice, county treasurer, Ramsey county
loses an honest, faithful and efficient pub
lie servant. He has served the people in
many capacities, and always with credit
to himself and profit to the community.
He surrenders his Office because of the in
suficiency of the salary, which is only four
thousand dollars year, and out of this all
clerk hire must be paid. While our cltI-
zens will regret to lose Mr.. Rice's services,
they will probably find some one who can
better afford to discharge the duties for
the meagre pittance allowed.

The concessions granted by the car OF
Russia to his Finnish subjects will be re-
garded as an earnest of disposition to
grant reforms demanded by the spirit OF
the age. We are not without hope that, II
given fair chance, he will prove himself
a wise and liberal monarch. He will not
be coerced by the incendiarism of the nj
hilists, but will sincerely strive to make his
loyal subjects prosperous and happy.

The new United States senators from
Colorado have the reputation of being
men of much wealth. A Republican sena-
tor deplored their election because of their
riches. He said it was a public complaint
that members of the senate are rich men
The statesman misunderstands the public
The complaint is that men become wealthy
after they are elected to the senate. The
men who have the genius to acquire for
tunes in private life are better men than
those who pnt money into their Golfers in
public life, and the senate has many nota-
BILE members of this latter class.

Failure of a Music House.

ECH1cAGo, Feb. 6.-Pelton, Pomeroy d
Cross, dealers in musical instruments, con-
fessed Judgment in the United States
court in favor of Capt. Taintor, of Me-
nominee, Wis, relative of one of the
partners, for $51, 900, and gave him bill
of sale of the stock in store. A
member of the firm states
that the embarrassment arises from the
non payment of notes due by
customers, and the course was taken to
prevent sacrifice; that it is not failure.
The first intimation of trouble was note
of the firm going to protest last Saturday.
There is no statement of assets or liabili-
ties. The latter will probably not exceed
$4,000, mostly due piano manufacturers
of New York. The firm have been agents
of the Chickering pianos.

cipally by cattle lowering on and along
the track for shelter against cold winds,
necessitating slow and cautious running.

The Un.a.wcep Mines.

Considerable excitement was caused in this
city last week over specimens of ore brought
in by Messrs. Anderson and Farmer from the
Un-a-weep country. The specimens We're
from several locations made by them and are
a fair representation of what can be expected
from that section. They were very carefully
inspected by our citizens, and numerous mys-
terious cuucuses were held on the street cor
ners. Average pieces of the rock were taken
to the blacksmith shop of J. J. Barker, heat
ed to white heat in his forge and dropped
into tub of water, when the copper would
stand out all over it as large as turkey
shot. Quite number of the globules We're
knocked off the rock, hammered out on the
anvil and handed arouAl from one to another.
Capt. Anderson has sent specimens to Argo
for assay.
Several parties are making preparations to
90 to the Un-a-weep Immediately, and others
will follow as soon as their affairs will per
nit. 1t looks as if we were on the eve of a
first-claSs excitement. Messrs. Anderson and
Farmer are to be congratulated on their dis
covery They report the scene Of the discov-
cry as about % miles west of Delta, across
the northern end of the Uncompahgre plateau,
and that good wagan road can easily be
built fron Delta to that point, crossing the
Uncompahgre and keeping well back from
the Gunnisen river. There are now sixteen
or eighteen men in the district working
assessments 1t lies dow and the climate is
such that the winters will be no impediment
to work The country is one of the best for
stock raising in Colorado, the grass at the
present time being three four inches in
height. Game is in abundance, bear, deer,
mountain sheep, prairie chickens, grouse,
etc, being found in the neighborhood. As

A beaver when taken young becomes do
mestcated getting as tame and playful as y
cat, be taught numberous tricks, and is alto
gether an intelligent animal Many of the
trappers take the young beavers, make pets of
them, and keep them around their cabins, but
they never totally forget their old habits. \
good story was told last week by Mr.. j. r..
Hall, an old mountaineer and now horny
handed farmer up the Gunnison. He once
had pet beaver with which he had taken
great pains and which had become very tame,
and was allowed the liberties of the house.
One day Mr.. Hall cooked big pot of beans,
expecting to have enough for several days
feast. That night after he had retired and
was sleeping sound!y, he heard a terrible rat
tie among the tinware, and hastily striking a
light he found the tame beaver had upset his
bean-pot, and was making dam of toe beans
with his tail to keep the soup from running
away.

The Hartland ditch, across the Gunnison
river from Delta, has been finished and water
will be turned in soon. 1t is the intention TO
run the ditch from its present terminus to the
<S+oabdeau, six miles further down. As it
now is, it will irrigate about two thousand
acres, and when extended will irrigate over
1000 acres The ditch is ten feet wide ut the
bottom aud will carry over 5000 inches. The
farmers under the ditch will all put in good
crops, some of it wheat. II there
surances of Touring mill being put up at
this point this year the acreage of wheat
would be largely increased.

Mr.. R. Z. Egeleston had built at this point
this spring a boat for navigating the Gunni-

and trap wherever indications Will justify.
Messrs. Baldwin and Phye took passage in
the boat to the mouth of the Tncompahgre.
Mr.. Eegleston is genial, companionable
fellow, and can handle pen with good effect.

The destruction of deer goes on without let
or hindrance. A good strong fine would do
more than anything else to end this. Our
citizens should take this matter in hand and
put stop to ii. Beside the indiscriminate
slaughter and waste of meat, the hides taken

Len,lv,lIc on the Veto.

From the Leadville Democrat
Grants veto message is about the same as
the opinion given the first time he met with
the Board of Land Commissioners. When a
Mexican from Las Animas applied fqs du-
plicate patent for his land, he having lost the
original before recording the same, Grant OBJ
jected to the giving of the duplicate patent I;
for, said he "The applicant might take and
sell the duplicate and then come back and
get another" The Legislature did not act
hastily. as the Governor intimates. This
body supposed that the Governor had given
the matter most thorough investigation in
fact, it is fair to say that the majority of the
members of the Legislature voted for the bill
more through respect for the Governor, then,
than from hny other cause. As to the consti-
tutional quibble found in the vetong message
that is a sort of n shystering subtcrfuge that
in no way reflects credit on Colorado's chief
Governor. Had it emanated from one of the
deputies it would not be worthy Of notice.
