A Higher License Law Suggested.

Terre Haute Express.
The Express has one suggestion to make.
1t is in the direction Of a higher license,
which would be a curb on the trade that
would be of much benefit. Wherever the
system has been adopted it has worked ad-
vantageousy, and we believe it would do so
here The only effect of decreasing the
number of saloons would be to discourage
drinking, and that is an object that should be
kept in view in all liquor legislation.

A very large number of people in this State
including all the decent, temperance and
moral citizens, without regard to party-de-
sired to take a popular vote upon these
amendments at special election. The Re-
publican party acceded to their demands,
and did its best to give them the chances To
this end it, together with many honest Dem
ocrats, fought the battle A high license law
would perhaps be a good thing now.

The idea prevails among eastern
people tha: just as soon as man from
the east arrives in mining camp he
becomes public prey for all who may
chance to meet him. That is mis-
take. That there are sharks, swindlers
and dishonest men in mining commu
mites as well Is all other communities
we will admit, bu. that is not saying
that there are no straight forward
men-men of principal and integrity,
men whose character that you dare not
lmpeach any more than you would the
solid old citizen Of your eastern COM
'munity. The substantial men of a
mining camp are as rule, honest,
hard working, industrious, practical
men. They are men that cannot af-
ford to 60 to New York any day in the
year for the purpose of perpetratlng
some mining fraud on the unsophisti-
Gated, but are always glad to see a man
come in for the purpose of investing,
apd will take pains to protect him
rather than take the advantage OF him.
This class of men il they ever become
successful it is through their honest
endeavors and perseverance.
The man that is to be feared is the
one who lays awake at night, schem-
ing some plan by which he can swim
die his fellow man. 1t is the man who
by his smooth tongue manages through
railroad passes to get east and prey
upon his friends by selling them worth
less mining stock or organizing com
panies on worthless mining property.
1t is this class of men that the eastern
people come in contact with .princl-
pally, and when they get once taken
in then they are ready to condemn
mining and everybody connected with
it. Legitimate operators cannot help
what is done by irresponsible and un-
legitimate operators, although their
operations at times should be classed
as criminal offenses, but they cover
their tracks so, that 1t is hard to get
"dead on to their trail"

Hon. J. &. Beltord delivered the
decoration day oration at Georgetown,
and we can truthfully say that it was
a master piece. 1t was something
different from the ordinary Grind
Army speech. There IS one sentence
too true to nature that We give as fol-
lows: "The pen is the master of the
sword. While the sword is the angry
expression, the thought is the inspira-
ton. Behind thss fighter is the en-
thusiast. The heat which warns the
blood of progress comes from the
fame of a students lamp"

THE wiz GOLD FIELD.

Alaska from the extreme north has
had her boom, and from all accounts
of those that have gone to that distant
cline from Colorado. we believe he is
wise who stays in Colorado. Now
comes along a gold excitement from
Lower California. 1t Is the extreme
South of the Peninsula, and in sect
ion that Is very little explored or in
habited except by Indians and Mexi-
cans. We take the following item
from the Tuscarora Times ReucY, the
reading of which Will be interesting
to a number Of cur readers:
A recent dispatch from Guayma,
states that by the arrival If tie schoon-
er Antonio, direct from Playa, Trlni-
dad, the latest news from the reported
gold discoveries was brought At
that place th"re are now some 500
miners, mostly Americans, who have
but few animals, and among them your
spe,ial correspondent, w:.o sailed chi
the Rambler. Niessrs. Watts and
Marcoye have started TO explore the
road lnlaid for water, pasturage, etc.
So far only few have come into the
camp, all of whom have goil. They
report the mines some 20 10 23 leagues
inland in a northwest direction.
Trinidad bay or encidal lies some 100
miles north of Muleje. No American
miners have as yet been up to the
mines. A letter to prominent COM
mercial house here from Muleje says:
"Quite number of those who left
here for the placers have returned for
want Of water. One packer who went
up with mules returned without then
and report them dead for want Of
water. There is gold there but do not
come until the rairy season." Only
one of the vessels which left here with
merchandise (the PlerolaJ has 'discilar-
ged her cargo at Trinidad; the balance
have gone up the coast north of there,
perhaps to Los Angeles bay. Captain
Guiterez brought over some eighteen
ounces of coarse gold, which he pur-
chased of an Indian who came aboard
his vessel at Trinidad, and Mr.. Will
Jams has also twenty-five ounces pt,r-
chased in Muleje. Reports Of the ex-
act location of the placer conflict,
some placing them beyond San Ger
trudis, and some this side of that place.
There is good road from Muleje to
San Gertrudis, with regular water stat
lons. BY the return Of the Rambler
due the first of next week, full particu-
lars will be had.

dead on to theif trail. :"

Jack Haverly says he lost s25o,ooo
in Colorado mlres. We do not be-
lieve it, and such reports are damage
ing to the country. 1t has got to be
of late that when a man meets misfor-
tune it must be set down to Colorado
mining stock. That Haverly operated
in several snide schemes we will admit.
If he was sucker enough to be taken
in on such Wild cat holes a, he had in
Silver Cliff, he was sharp enough to
palm the stock off on innocent friends
of the east. Two years ago his San
Miguel swindle was ventilated through
the press. Then he caused maps.to be
printed representing smelters running,
railroad tracks with the cars going to
and fro, and everything seemed to
flourish as a green bay tree, when the
truth the matter is there was hardly a
jack trail within 50 miles Of the cluster
of ten foot holes that he owned. OF
his Gunnison county property part
proved productive and part did not.
The only mine that he was interested
in in the country that amounted to
anything was the Bullion King of this
camp, which. is now owned by his CO.
owners and 1t is a stock company.
Take man from his line of business
and place him in business entirely
foreign to his own, and he Will surely
make wreck of it. That Jack Hav-
erly is a minstrel Snowman we know.
That he knows nothing whatever about
running or conducting a mining com
pany. we also know That nine tenths
of the failures in mining operations
can be attributed TO the iniudicious
management of such men as Jack
Haverly.

Il PRETTY STORY.

The lounger on the avenue tells the
following story: 81 have recently
heard a story touching the early life
OF Senator Jones, Of Nevada, which is
most interesting and should not be
lost, and which | am told is true ia
every respect and illustrative of the
characteristics Of a class now almost
passed away, the ''iorty-niner ers" in
California. This is my story. Jones
had gone to California with Thousands
Of Others when the wonderful discov
cry of gold in that far-off land thrilled
every hamlet and village. He had
good and bad fortune. Among those
who went to seek their fortunes there
was man named Hayward, from
Vermont. He was rather the superb
or Of his associates in education, aad
totally unlike them in habits. They
were working in pretty good pay dirt,
and at first had far success, and tnal-
y one after another went away to
more promising localities, enlii Zones
and few Others, among them Hay
ward, were left at The old digging, i.
Hayward had a claim on the mount
ain side that, as yet, had shown no
particular promise; still he stuck to it.
One hot summer day, when the Red
nils were quivering with heat Hay
ward came to see Jones. Said he:
clones, am very near to a wonder
full VEN; | know it | feel 1t, but
am fiat broke. | want 1000; with
that will make both our fortunes. {"
NOW, old fellow" said Jones, 81
have known Just 1,ocQ men who were
in exactly your fix. They only needed
$1,000, and sometimes 500 to make
their eternal all. +" Hayward contin-
ued. Finally Jones said: 81 will give
you this money. have $1,000 buried
under the fireplace, and when the
fire goes out chluaman leaves, Ill get
it out for you, but don't ask me for any
more; | cannot afford to lose more
tnan that, and while | give it to you
with the utmost heartiness, don't ask
me for any more"
Hayward got the money and SAID:
+" when | strike it l will give you a
quarter interest. " Ore afternoon
about month after this happened
Jones was sitting in his cabin when
Hayward suddenly burst in as white
as sheet. "Jones, "said he l have
struck It."
"Struck what ?" said Jones.
81 don't know just what yet," an
swered Hayward, "bnt | have struck
the richest vein | have ever seem"
They wen, together. to look at it,
and, sure enough, Hayward had struck
an immense bonanza, or "pocket,"
of almost pure gold. Jones, with his
experience, saw it was the richest
mine in California. They sent to San
Francisco for Eugene Kelley. Young
mining expert of great ability. He
pronounced it the greatest strike in
his time. Hayward had found the
New Amador, the richest gold mine
in the world. He sold 1t to Wells.
Fargo and some others for S. 900. 900,
and the day the sale was made he gave
Jones S1,25o,ooo. Jones afterwards
married Hayward's daughter. But
this is the history Of the New Amador
and of the great start in life of Jones,
Of Nevada.-Er.

A NATIONS SHAME.

The indignation of the honest, liberty
loving citizens of New York is waxing
warm over the arrangement to open the
great new bridge on the queen of Eng,
lands birthday. Committees have call
ed upon the bridge trustees and endeav-
ored to have the day changed but with
out success. The trustees say they
never knew that May "a was her royal
nob's birthday when that day was Sc
lected (wonder if they know when
Washington was born 4? and that speak,
ers have been engaged and other ar
rangements made which it will be i'm.
possible to alter.
The Voice Of the People has a scorch-
ing editorial on the subject, from which
we make the following extract:
We find that the aldermen Of Brook
lyn are so completely in the hands O.
these British lion breeders that they are
afraid to change the day from the oath
which is the birthday of their liege
queen, Notwithstanding the request o.
the Central Labor Union of that city
representing $4,000 men-truly a milk
and water species of patriotism and O.
manhood! Then, also, the board of al
dermen of New York, with a double
tongued bluster characteristic of all met
ropolitan politicians, have strutted about
tipping the blarney on their jowl that
twedle-dum with many meanings, one OF
which faunts the lie that they sympa.
thize with the protests of the Central
Labor Union of New York, representing
$4,000 men. But the glaring fact that
they have done nothing whatever, sig.
nifes that they are implicitly needing
and obeying their boss and other exotics
who are surreptitiously twirling their
votes and influence toward British capi
tai and financially coquetting with Eng
lish cockneys. One significant fact re-
mains, which cannot be hidden. The
Press, with all it's cunning suppression
of news and truth upon this subject, can
not vail the startling evidence that
there is great indignation in every
healthy element of society over the af-
fair. Not only the unions, but the hon
est, unorganized citizens are talking
with unmistakable vehemence, and it
would not be surprising if the great,
honest hand of the people came down
with an emphatic embargo against the
proceedings, in manner that put to
shame the whole gang of nabobs and
their yapping iackals gulping the offal
at their heels
