The ARTHUR BOOM.

The booms for the democratic NOM
nation next year are so many as to
be almost numberless. There is the
Mcdonald boom, the old ticket boom.
the Holman boom, the Randall boom,
etc. But among the republicans there
is only one boom of any significance.
and that is the boom for president
Arthur. The principal reason for
Arthur's monopoly of the talk in con-
nection with the republican nomina-
tion is likely the slim chance which
now appears for the election of that
party's candidate whoever he may be;
and the consequent dampening effects
upon the spirits of the old party
leaders, who would eagerly seek the
nomination were the chances for cleo
ton more favorable. However that
may be the star of the eX-collector of the
port of New York is in the ascendant;
and were it not SO early i'll the day
that there is Il likelihood of the strong
est enthusiasm dying out before the
national convention will be held, he
would stand good chance of carrying
off the honor of his party's nomination.
The saying, the king is dead, long
live the king" is in this case finely eX
emplifed. Many favorable circumstan-
ces conSpired to this end. In the first

! Two weeks ago the Dodgeville Chr0n-
icle stated that its circulation was
considt rably larger and more general
than that of any other paper i'll iowa
county. AS this only hit us in Il gem
eral way, we let the statement go UNI
challenged. But last week The Chron-
icle comes at us again, and this time
directly, because we stated that it was
an evidence of the worthlessness of a
newspaper to be continually dunning
its SUBJ ccibers through its columns,
which, by singular coincidence. az
peared the same week that a dunning
notice appeared in The Chronicle.
The last notice which we speak of
reads us follows:
"Our esteemed contemporary, The
| Democrat, of Mineral Point, thinks
| it IN evidence of WorrhleSSneSS for a
newspaper To dun its delinquent sub
Scribers through its columns. When
The Democrats circulation grows so
/ that its editor cannot conveniently run

money. he will find it necessary to
adopt some other method. And then,
perhaps. he will find that there is no
better way to get what you want than
to make your wants known through
the columns of a newspaper having a
good circulation; and this applies to
money due you as well as other
things"
Now if The Chronicle had not named
us out and out we would not have
thought of making reply. We have
only to say that if brother Hearn con-
Quoted his business on the same prin-
ciple that The Democrat is published
viz: of sending only to those who are
prompt paying-he would not have
circulation worth speaking of. If
The Chronicle is sent to subscribers
whom the editor has to run around
and see whenever he wants little
money" we do not care to compare lists
with him. But we do claim we have
the largest list of prompt paying sub
scribers of any paper published in the
county, and we can substantiate this
claim by showing the amount of mon
ey taken in yearly on subscription.
Brother Hearn, did you ever see a
dunning notice in The Democrat or
any other tirst-class newspaper?

JUDGE BLACK.
The Eminent Jurist and Statesman
Breathes his Last.

Judge jeremiah S. Black died at
York, Penn, at o'clock on Sunday
morning. His death was as calm and
peaceful as the setting of summers
sun. Just before his death he spoke
with confidence of the future, saying
to his son Chauncey that he had no fear
of crossing the dark river, adding: 81
would that | were as comfortable
about what leave behind in this
world" When his beloved wife knelt
by his bedside, comforting him with
her sympathy and love, he gave utter
ance to the following prayer:

Father, from whom / had my being
and in whom L have ever trusted,
grant, if it be Thy will. that | no long
er suffer this agony, and that l be
speedily called home to Thee. And o,
my God, bless and comfort this my
Mary"
All through his sickness, although
suffering intense agony, he was cheer
full, and his great mind gave vent in
frequent scintillations of witty utter
ances. In his dying moments the
great jurist lost none of his force OF
character. his genialitY and brightness

DR.. Loring, commissioner of agricul-

DR.. LOring, commissioner of agricul-
ture has been interviewed upon that
interesting question, the pine lumber
product of this country, and the num-
Der of years that our pine forests will
remain, at the present rate at which
we are cutting them down. As Dr.
Loring is at the head of the forestry
bureau, he is well prepared to give the
facts on this subject, and his views,
therefore, are interesting and worthy
of consideration.
Recent Investigations showed. he
said, that the supply of pine in New
Hampshire and Vermont is now COM
pletely exhausted, and that the spruce
would last only seven years in the for
mer and four in the latter state. In
Maine, which is the leading Eastern
lumber state, the pine supply is good
for four years longer. while the spruce
will hold out 10. The other Eastern
States average about the same. There
will be no native lumber for sale in
PENNSYLVANIA 1898, none in New York
in 1890. Nor is the situation much
better in the West. The Minnesota
and Michigan forests will be exhaust
ed, he predicted in 10 years. while Wis
consin will hold out only 20 years.
To the South, however, the country
looks for its future supplies of mer-
charitable woods, and the Southern
forests are practically ineXhaustble.
Louisiana is good for a century, Miss
iSSippi for $50 years, Texas for go
years and Arkansas for 800 years. In
fine. four-fifths of the South is in for
ests, and these forests contain the very
finest timber.-New Orleans Times
