A Mining nyilIionpire.

Senator tom" Bowen has received q
national advertising as bonanza king
He was formerly district Judge here, and
poor as o church mouse. Suddenly little
mining property in tho San Juan country,
called the little Ida, was reported to have
struck it wonderfully rich. Pieces of ore
were brough hit here and made old miners
eyes stick out. 1t was decomposed quartz
and resembled a fine grained sponge.
Imagine that this had been saturated
with puro gold, all the interstices and
poors filled up, and consequently turned
TO stone. Then you have 1t.
Bowen had stocked the mine for de-
velopment purposes, but owned q con
trolling interest. He got some ready
money and worked" the newspapers by
one Of the most ingenious systems Of
self-advertising extant. He always had
some extraordinary story to tell the re-
porters, who hocked around him. He
spoke Of millions and millions offered for
his mine with q careless fiippancy that
petrified all listeners. Ono of his
yarns was that visitors to the property
had carried off 100000 worth of ore as
specimens. Backed as these stories
were tangible proof in the shape of
the wonderful mineral already described.
they were told and retold and copied
from Maine to Mexico. When crowds,
however, hocked to the mine they found
it carefully guarded, under the pretense
that ore could be too readily stolen.
Bowen admits to-day that he sold the
major portion of his interests for less
than $4,000. II said $3,000,000 in the
newspapers" he remarked with laugh
not long ago; 81 only wish l could say SC
elsewhere"

GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE AND
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. By the
supreme law of the land you arc given
exclusive jurisdiction over the affairs of
this district. As city, therefore, we
have the largest and ablest common
council in the country, and ought to DO
the best governed. You are also our
state legislature and general government.
Notwithstanding all these advantages we
have grievances like less favored people.
As residents of the capital city of the
great nation founded on the very whole
some principle that there shall be no tax
alton without representation, we have no
voice or influence in the selection of any,
even the humblest, of our public officials.
We can't even appoint policeman or
remove n scrub woman. Yet we are taxed
with great regularity and pay over taxes
as promptly aud with rs little grumbling
rs any people on earth. We arc governed
directly by trio of commissioners,
chosen generally from those who are
rather among us than of us. and who
transact all our business in secret and
issue the edicts which we must obey
from behind closed doors They spend
our money as they SEQ fit and account to
you at stated periods. All this we are
learning to endure with patience and be-
| coming resignation.
But railroads are permitted to lay their
tracks in your streets temporarily, and
possess them permanently, to the positive
destruction of our adjoining property.
Telegraph and telephone companies are
allowed to erect unsightly poles along
your most beautiful drives and string
great webs of wires over our heads to the
peril of our lives. Other corporations
tear up your pavemcnts, apparently at
will, and replace them at pleasure, and
seemingly to little purpose. Still others
| have half blinded US with one kind Of ex-
pertinent and choked us with another,
and one levies n tax on those who bring
us the necessares of life, and extorts
tribute from even those who visit the last
resting place of the nations dead. All
this we can endure IL we must but we see
no reason why we should be compelled to.
Washington, the capital and most beau
tiful city in the nation, is our home, and
we are proud of 1t. We have no more
reason to be so than you. Its broad
streets and avenues were made broad
for your benefit rather than ours. Its
numerous parks and public reservations
are the property of the whole people.
About one-half the entire area of the city

The latest development of evolution is
the genus independent. 1t originated in
the east. Not so far east, however, as
sin made its first appearance in the world;
not so far east as sin began to differenti-
ate into idOlatry, murder, theft, and other
distinct forms now perfectly and uni
versally recognized, but sufficiently so to
establish its claim to belong to that geo.
graphical quarter where mundane things
had their beginning and whence they
took up their line of travel. Boston
claims the honor of having produced the
first specimens and the most complete
variety. The university Of Harvard,
which has never been able to discover
first class comet or manufacture an as
teroid larger than the sign of the "Punch
Bowl gets credit for having brought
forth the new development and has
secured the prospective profits by ample
letters patent, which close tho doors of
controversy in this particular and in all
other essentials.
Among the leading characteristics of
the independent, modesty, perhaps, has
| the first place, and this being the fact its
absence at once proves the claimant to
honor as q member Of the order to be o
sham. This quality of modesty has led
us to the belief that no long time after the
election result should be sscertained
would elapse before the Boston independ-
ent's lively sense of propriety would be
put on exhibition in practical way,
| looking to the attainment Of some great
end, and SO it has proved.
II appears that no, later than the second
day after Cleyeland's election was beyond
dispute the Independent camp was in a
state of unwontod activity and commo-
tion, which resulted in tho sending forth
of an address of solid advice to tho presi-
dent-elect accompanied with wholesome
intimations of consequences certain to
follow non-acceptance at its face value
on his part. In the management of the
campaign the independent started out by
assuming that Cleveland was the model
statesman, endowed with those rare gifts,
qualities, aspirations, and tendencies
which must insure the highest attainable
results, and withal so admirably self-poised
and balanced rs TO be uninhuenced by
fayors and incapable of fear, This ad,
dress indicates the existence of large
measure OF doubt in regard to the validity
of the first assumption. We're Mr. Cleve
land the wise man thoy represented, HI
would not stand in need of the advic,
now profiered. We're he the pure man SO
forth ut tho start, tho contingent offer OF
their valuable support as an inducemen
for him to perform his duty would excit

thoy said he was, with what supreme de
rision he must laugh AZ their attempt Il
frighten him by threats Of Topping out o
the traces and returning to the beggarl,
and wicked elements of ropublicanisn
whose contact has been so demoralizine
and whose embrace must be fatal.
But tho medosty Of the Boston mug
wump must have vent II would neve

THE independents of New Haven,
Conn, who had voted for Cleveland tried
TO take part in the republican primaries
Wednesday night, claim ing their action
had not vitiated their standing as repub-
licans. They were barred out by the re-
publicans who had not forsaken their
party. This action under all tho circum-
stances was right. No party can live
without recruits and tho source from
which they como is not often closely
looked into. 1t is not likely that tho in
dependents can be prevented from again
becoming republicans if they choose to
do 80, any moro than an out-and-Out
democrat could, or that any real republi-
can could reasonably refuse TO permit the
independents to again become integers
of their party. But 1t is both folly and
insolence for the independents tc
assume that they can again come
forward and take their old places
Mt the party board just the same as II
nothing had happened. Their treachery
lost tho republican party control of the
country and the back seats of obscurty
and repentancs will surely be their por'
tion if they insist in acting with theil
former party hereafter. But upon the
whole the proper place for the mugwumpi

carats, has, it is stated, been sold by a
city firm TO syndicate of diamond mer-
chants. 1t is believed to be from the
Jagersfontein mine, Orange Free State,

luster which characterizes stones from

WE observe that our Canadian neigh
bors have gone into Mysteries about our
nowly-negotiated commercial treaty with
Spain concerning the Antilles And yet
there is no particular occasion for so
much excitement. Aside from the fact
that the treaty has not yet been con-
frmed, we can take in our Canuck neigh
bors, too, if they can offer good reason for
renewed reciprocity treaty. OF course
we understand that we were outrageously
plundered in tho fisheries award, but as
we are rich enough to help our poor neiRh-
hors, no i'll feeling is stored up on that
account. Canada, however, is too small
to hope to secure treaty with Spain
equivalent to that negotiated by Minister
Foster. The value of her fisheries can
be kept up however, by proposition for
their use upon fair basis by Uncle Sans
scataring children.
