The Northern Pacific farmer. [volume] (Wadena, Minn.) 1878-1885, 1883-02-08

The New Hampshire delegation
and the Maine senators have recon-.
o. G. Moore, for many years
editor Of the Nashua On. H. Tele-
graph, for president Of the civil SER
vice commission. This is one of the
best appointments that could be
made. MI. Moore is one of the ablest
men in the New England States, ane!
above any suspicion or jobbery OF
political chic&nery.
The result of the senatorial contest
1T st. Paul is better than could have
been expected under the circumstan-
2es. Mr.. Sabin, the senator elect. is
one of the ablest business men in the
State, and has had considerable expo.
rience in the local legislature, which
will enable him more easily to ma:te,
the details of legislation in the
larger sphere of national legislation
The election of Mr.. Window, W.
believe, was desired by 4 large ma
jority Of the Republican party in thu
State, and his election would hav,
been for the best interests of til,
State and nation. On account of hi
long experience in public affairs, ant
his wide acquaintance with publ
men, he would have been able t.
exert a larger influence than any ne>
man can possibly do, however able h
may be. We hear it often said tina
he has had the place long enough
and there are other men just as goo
as lie is. OF the latter statement W
have no doubt, but of the former
may be said that experience count
for rs much in public affairs AS
doeA in business, and that the peop]
AS a whole desire the services Of hil
who can: best serve tllel eln;and to thel

! only those who desire to excite syn
| pathy for some fellow who wants t
succeed him, or hopes to recciv
from his successor some benefit in til
way of a place at the public Grill
that make that plea. No
itx? seems to US that ma
should be elected to office on til
same principle that we would use
employing men to do business, an
not on account of any favor we migl
wish to do them, but to get the bes
to do the work in hand; that is, Z
W would get the most experience
attorney to do our law business, an
in like manner, the architect, ca
penter, bridge builder, book-keepe
etc., and when we do this the publ
will be much better served than the
are at present.

On Saturday. January 27th last, one Joseph Malone came to town having gen. eral battered up and bruised appearance and looking very much as though he had run against thrashing machine, and inn made for the Justices office and warrant for the arrest of one Pat Doran, saloon keeper near Simms' camp on the railroad. whom he accused of beating, kicking and otherwise abusing him while drunk. The warrant was given 70 Sheriff Steen, who at once started for the railroad and found his man, bringing him to the Park last Tuesday MT. DOran Ob- tained an interview with Judge Hyde on Thursday morning. plead guilty to the of fense of assault and battery and was promptly fined fifty dollars with the alter native of fifty days in the county jail. The line was immediately paid and MT. Doran left for the railroad sadder and poorer, but it is to be hoped, wiser man.

 The pay car happened to come along about
 this time and some of the men attempted to take possession of it, but were badly scared when the train men brought out a case of Winchester rifles and threatened to turn loose on the crowd if they did not be- have themselves. The trouble ended by all the men leaving, about seventy-fge going back on the train to Albuquerque, while the rest struck out in different directions, some fifty of them passing through Hack berry last Tuesday and Wednesday, nearly all of them being broke. The whole trouble appears to be the fault of the company who ship cut men by the hundred from the east. guaranteeing them constant work and when they get to the front are only able to give them employment about one day in three

 Albert Comstock. aged 49 years.
 Albert Comstock came to Mineral Park from Montana, via Pioche, little over eleven years ago, arriving here in January, 1872, in company with David Southwick. During the year 1872 he WAS engaged in mining in and around Stockton Hill, and with Otto Kuencer, David and Webb Southwick, sunk seventv foot shaft on the Champion mine for E Martin Smith = During the year 1873 he moved up to Cot tonwood Island, returning to the Sandy in 1874 In the fall of 1874 he was elected Sheriff of this county, which office he held for three successive terms. After leaving the office he engaged in the grocery busi- ness i'll Mineral Park and accumulated quite a little money, and last fall concluded to take a trip to California, partly or busi- EeSs and partly on pleasure. He started fO San Francisco about the middle of August last and was taken sick with paralysis of the braln the latter par tof October, from which he never recovered, although under the care of the best physicians on the Coast, among them Dr. L. c. Lane. Tn the death of Albert Comstock Mohave county loses one of her oldest and best citizens, man prompt and efficient i'll the execution of lis official dntiesand in his private fife with scarcely a ftult He will be sincerely mourned by all who were acquainted with him.

 It is rumored that Ridenour and TiIlman and one or two others have found bonan ga, but as they are very reticent about it little is known at present only that they have some wonderfully rich gold specimens.

6ACkBEER1, Il. 1CCOs
 ED1roR MoHAvE COUNTY MINEB-Hack- berry is looming up again and lot jumping is the order of the day. It is not nice business.
 Some of our miners are very much dis satisfied at the delay i'll citing returns from the ore sampled at the Blackberry mill and two parties that 1 hear of propose to take their ore away and ship it to Chamberlain & Co.,, at Kingman. It is pity that their sampling works are not in more central locality.
 It is hardly possible to see how Kingman will be town of very much importance. There will be, of course, 8 great cry and little wool.
 Richardson district is proving gold belt and some recent discoveries show well, some average as high as four ounces gold. thirty five per cent copper and nineteen to thirty eight dollars in silver per ton of 2,OOO pounds.
 The opinion prevails that we must have town convenient to Gold Basin, Wallapai, Richardson and Cedar district, and then again we must have little different set of managers in mining affairs over about here.
 have had several letters of inquiry from the east, but my answers have been delayed for the present, but maybe some of the parties will show up in due time.
 Let investors look carefully before they sci their stakes. 1 feel sure if they look over the grounds carefully 1t will be found that towns on paper, formed for speculating pur- poses, seldom prove permanent.

The Railroad Troubles.

While in Blackberry last week we end5av- ored to find cut the osusa of the recent strikes among the trAckiayerS on the A. q
 p railroad. From what little information we could gather it would appear thTt the compiny is more to be blamed than the w0rkmen. The men are paid one dollar and seventy-fiye cents per day, which they say would be enough if the company would give them constant employment. but they claim that they are not put at work half the time and that at the end of month they have just enough to pay their board with. Of course this is the fault of the management in not forwarding material enough to the front to keep the men at work. The trouble last week was caused by the men striking for an advance of twenty-five cents per day, which being refused. some of the roughs among them threatened to hang the con- struction boss, who had no power to grant

Taxing tEe EaiiTOGd.

It is reported that the A. E P. railroad company will fight the matter of paying taxes i'll Arizona, and yet they insist on charging ten cents per mile for passenger fares. When any individual, company or corporation refuses to pay taxes it is really a step towards secession. All corporations like individuals should be taxed alike and become taxpayers of the United States or leave the country. This living in and en- toying republican form of government without paying share of it's expenses is not right. OLD IIMER'
