WESTERN OPINION.
A Chicago Congressman Thinks it
is Arthur.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24-Congressman
Elwell arrived home today. He
thinks Arthur will be nominated. He
said in an interview: Il think Arthur
will carry the convention by storm.
This tai < about his not being able to
get the bulk Of the delegates from his
own state is absurd. l have just come
from New York, and l have talked
with many politicians of local promi-
nence, and l find the president is
very popular and has much positive
strength. There is this to be said, and
it applies with equal force to both Ar
thur and Logan. Can the party af
ord to nominate any man who has
been strongly identified with either
the stalwart or half breed factions7 1t
certainly is risky. think the bitter
ness of factional strife has pretty much
passed away In Illinois, though one
can still find traces of it But it is by
ma means a thing of the past In New
York 1t is just like slumbering
volcano, which may ignite at any mo-
ment and burst forth with the old vio-
lenoe. Tke party viii have to look
carefully before it leaps if we are to
win next year.

A WONDERFUL mine in Telluride,

of the New Orleans Times-Democrat
About fifty feet from the entrance is
a large cone-shaped chamber, about
eighty feet in height and forty in di
ameter The walls and roof are almost
solid galena, and the floor, to the
depth of six or eight feet, is composed
of soft lead carbonates. Three cham
bers, ranging from seventy to one hun
dred and twenty feet in length and
averaging about eighty feet in dame
ter, radiate from the main cone, and
are of about the same formation of gal

are of higher grade, and they run
much better in silver. The ore can

LILLIAN WHITING spoke to the Boston
Woman's Rights Association on women
IN American journalism, and made the
point especially strong that anybody
who thought writing for newspapers
merely as a preparation for magazine
or book work might as we'll give up the
idea. The demands Of the leading
journals are greater than those Of the
magazines, inasmuch Is the literary
style of the writer must be quite as
good, and the general knowledge much
greater, There is no possibility of any
sort of writing being too good for the
daily newspaper. As for remuneration,
the journalist is by far the best paid
man in literature.
