In his Fourth Of July address at
Watertown, Oak. last week, Hon.
Chas. G. Williams gave utterance to
the following warning in speaking Of
the dangers that threaten our nation.
His prophesy, if such he thought it,
is very true as two years experience
in Grant county will bear out.
"Shall be pardoned for saying that
the one question most vital to its (the
nation 81 existence stands before it
unsolved to-day. ] refer to free and
pure ballot-box. That is something
which in a national sense, this repub-
lie has never yet had, and has not to-
day. In saying this / confne myself
to no locality or section. Force and
fraud in some sections, and the COR
rupt use of money in others, are the
canker curse which is eating its way
towards the vitality of this nation.
The people see this and are alarmed
by it, and IT'S they have met every en-
ergency thus far, SO VIII they meet
this one when it rlpens to a crisis, as
it surely viii ripen. Economic ques-
tions may come and 60. Men inter
ested only in material affairs may
crowd to the front and those who have
battled and bled in the fields Of war
that this one thing might be secured,
and those who have been true to it IN
civil life, may, for the time, be driven
to the rear and forgotten; but just so
sure us effect follows cause, just so
sure as gravitation holds this world
together. lust 50 sure as the WLIers OF
the great deep win ,i,o to fhe tlue
lines OF the sea. just SO sure Will tins
question confront the American peO.

0rangemen Attacked.

ST. Johns, N. F., December a.
Advices from Harbor Grace state that
an Orange procession, while passing
a ships head were fred upon by the
crowd yesterday. at first the Orange
men thought the firing was from pow
der guns carried by their friends until
they saw their men fall. Four men
were killed; two Orangemen aud two
Roman Catholics. Eight are reported
mortally and eighteen to twenty slight
ly wounded, Head Constable Doyle
is among the wounded. There is a lull
in the outbreak at Harbor Grace, but
the neighboring town of Carbonear is
In a state Of the widest frenzy. Over
n thousand meu are parading the
streets and preparing to march to Har-
Dor Grace. Crowds are hurrying up
from the whole extent north of Concep-
tion bay to tie scene Of the disturbance.
All places Of business are closed and
most Of the private dwellings are pro-
tected by bars and bolts. Police were
despatched from st. Johns and reached
Harbor Grace last night. If the riot
breaks out anew the law and officers
will be powerless to protect life and
property. 1t is rumored that the gov
eminent has cabled to Halifax for
troops and war ships. If the Carbon
ear contingent marches to Harbor
Grace, the result will be terrible to con-
template.

will be paralyzed for the time being.
No bones we're broken, and the suppo-

nerve were sustained. The general

Crop Estimate.

Washington, December 27.-J. r.
Dodge, statistician of the agricultural
department, has just completed prelim-
mary estimates of the principal crops
for 1888. 1t shows potatoes all roots
and oats unusually luxuriant. OF corn
the professor says the average yield per
acre this year is near twenty-three
bushels, which is twelve per cent. less
than the average yield for a series of
years, or l, 55l, csc, e35. AS the whole
of the corn grown in 1888 in Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota,
added to half of that grown in Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, would
make 400. 100000 bushels, only a fourth
of a whole crop, SO that a possible de-
probation of forty per cent. in all OF it
would be equivalent to a ten per cent.
reduction Of the entire crop. The
wheat crop is, as before stated, slightly
in excess Of 400, 600, 600 bushels, and
the cotton crop is shown to be about
5000, COO bales. There will be another
investigation at the close OF the cotton
harvest and shipments of a large por-
ton Of the crop. when the precise re-
suits will be approached more nearly
than possible hitherto.

Tho Ceur d,AIen. aIins.

And the remarkable richness of the ore
found In them are attracting consider
able attention at present. Quite q
number Of Jul Cheyenne young men
talk of visiting them next spring, and
there is a strong possibility of such a
general rush toward them when winter
breaks up as will recall the palmy days
Of '49. An observer who has visited
the mines speaks of them as follows:
"For myself, 1 believe they are
among the most important discoveries
that have been made for years There
is gold, and plenty Of 1t, wherever the
ground has been prospected. There Is
no question about that. Bed rock oc-
ours at from one foot to fifteen from
the surface, and In some places 1t comes
up almost to the surface. Where 1t has
done SC there are instances of finding
considerable gold almost at the grass
roots. The gold is mostly coarse,
though further prospecting will doubt
less reveal much dust. At one or more
points where prospecting has been done
gold has been found all through the
gravel. About twelve OF fifteen claims
were gotten In productive shape before
the winter SHOWS commenced to fall,
and when the spring opens there will
be scores Of other claims worked. The
district is very large, and is now sscer-
tainad m liz In both Shnohnra arI
Kootenai counties, though there Is yet
a difficulty concerning boundary lines
which is soon to come up for a hearing.
Eagle City is a rude camp at the june
ton of Eagle and Pritchsrd creeks,
and already has three or four stores and
as many saloons. Lansing Is an en-
bryo town a mile aud n half or two
miles away. C9ur diAlene is q new
and rising camp at the proposed boat
landing on C0ur d'Alene lake. People
are going in rapidly"
Another says he thinks 1t will be the
richest camp ever discovered in the
United States. There are about 200
miners In the camp, 100 of whom are
at work on their claims. Recent hnds
of quartz have added a new impetus to
this branch of mining, and some of the
discoveries are pronounced wonderfully
rich. High up the mountain side, $50
feet above Pritchard creek, placer de.
posits have been found which yield six
dollars per day to the Hays City
Is rapidly building up and its prospects
are very bright. D. W. Small s. Co.
will take in a large stock of goods early
next spring. But the greatest and re-
mains to be told. On the north fork
of the Ceur d'Alene placer diggings
have been found which prospect $40 to
the pan.

first Train Across.

New Orleans, December e7.-The
drst train crossed the A~tchafalaya
bridge on the Texas Pacific railroad
December 26. The structure Is now
completed and trains are crossing 1t
regularly. Work on the bridge, which
is situated 100 miles west of New Or
leans, was begun in September, 1881.
The bridge Is 1,045 feet long and con-
sists of two fixed spans of 253feet, one Of
1913. The draw span is 3o3 feet, the
piers of wrought and cast iron and the
cylinders fitted with concrete. The
foundation is 100 feet below high water
and from 20 10 lis feet below ground,
The cost of this structure Is a bali
million of dollars. The completion of
this bridge was of the greatest import
snce to the Texas Pacific railroad,
since the large amount of freight here
tofore turned W. to the Morgan road
at Cheneyville will hereafter come di-
rectly through. Delays to both passen-
ger and freight trains, incidental to the
former transfer at Atchafalya, no
longer exists.

Diseased Stock.

Chicago, December PA state
ment made by NJ. Paul Bert, as con-
tanned In a Paris cable published this
morning, in which he processes to
quote from DR.. ]. h. Detevers, of the
United States bureau of agriculture, to
the effect that diseased and dying hogs
had passed through Chicago daily, and
were sold cheap and shipped to Bor-
deaux and Havre, has drawn put of a
letter Of protest from Detevers. He
declares the statement OF M. Bert not
only a perversion Of facts, but a false
hood. In his official reports to the
commissioners Of agriculture are cor
tanned all he has euer had to offer cons
cerning the transportation Of diseased
or dead hogs, and then he simply call
ed attention to their transportation to
rendering tanks entirely distinct from
packing houses, as affording a means
Of spreading the hog cholera prevailing
in 1889, DR.. Detevers declares that
the regulations of the Chi
cago stock yards are such
as to render 1t absolutely impossi-
BILE that dead hogs should be smuggled
into them, and should the animal die
in the yards 1t is at once delivered to
the soap grease rendering establishment
outside of the yards and cannot posi-
bly, get into 1.-THE packing houses. DR..
Deteyers says that during the past four
months he has examined fully 40, 900
hogs without discovering the slightest
trace of disease, as he certainly would
il any had existed. During the past
two years very little swine plague has
existed anywhere, and as far as he has
been able to learn no dressed hogs have
been shipped. Nearly all the small
rendering tanks have been closed, his
exposures of Eve years ago having con-
tributed largely to that result. DR..
Detevers declares Bert must be q true
d~emagogue, otherwise he would not re-
sort to falsehood to please his constitu-
ents.
