Rev. DR. NJ D. HoGE says: Money contrib

high grade, and under Christian control, is well
invested. The Plumer Memorial Female Col
lege deserves engagement, because of the
honored name it bears. because of its admirable
location, and still more, because it is intended
to be an institution where the best opportuni-
ties for mental improvement will be secured,
and where the most salutary religious influences

Washington telegram For several days
a delegation of prominent citizens of New
Mexico have been here working up a SEN
timent in favor of the admission of that
Territory into the Union. They claim
New Mexico has $75,OO0,O00 worth of
taxable property, and a population exceed
ing 100000. The delegation have ascer-
taincd sufficient, however, to show that the
agitation is all they can POSSIBLY accom-
plish at this session, for. both the House and
Senate committees agree that no bill for
the creation of new States can pass until
after the Presidential election. The mat
fer will therefore be presented early next
winter. Ex-delegate 1ranquilina Luna.
who is here, slys that the sentiment of the
people of New Mexico is very much
against the present Territorial government.
It is claimed the officials arc corrupt and
incompetent, having been appointed for
political work in some State, and that
they have no interest in the Territory or
its people. Judge Henry L.Warren,
formely Chief Justice Of Montana, and u
member of the present council of New
Mexico, is here to fight Judge Axtcll and
prevent the abuse of the Terr;t rial
government to the congressional COM
mittces.

dark brown quartzite, and true gneiss; in
deed the susual variety of metamorphic
rocks appear distinctly stratitied. There
are several other gulches on either side of
Emigrant Gulch, but the placer diggings,
of Emigrant. are remarkable and will
prove more SO when sufficient capital is in
vested to strike the lower bed strata, ex
tending up fifteen or twenty miles to the
second canyon and extending down to the
lower or first canyon, all of which yield
gold. All these gulches cut through the
basalt deep into the granltoid nucleus,
revealing the mineral character as well as
the future history of this range" Again
he says, quoting Hayden, "ln our last
chapter we described the beautiful lake
basin, below the second canyon, Upper
Yellowstone valley we found that rock,
of volcanic origin, pre1ominates over all
others. In this canyon, which is carved
out of lofty range of mountains by the
river, we see that the core or nucleus is
true gneissoid granite. The strata incline
west ten to fifteen degrees. The upper
beds are composed mostly of feldspar and
quartz, compact and massive, but lower
down they arc black micaceous gneiss.
The different shades of color give to t,,e
sides of the canyon peculiarly stratified
appearance. This canyon was undoubt-
edly started in a fssurc but it is mostly
of erosion. 1t is about three miles long,
this is, of course, an extension of the range
of mountains in which Emigrant Gulch is
located, and like it, it undoubtedly con-
tains mines of gold" With the wealth
accumulative, and the frightening pros
poets of those who have been but two
seasons engaged in mining, and the daily
and weekly finds, with the many locations
already recorded, having given the high
est geological observation and disinter-
ested opinion, added to the practical OBJ
servation and experience of the writer for
some years, to the many thousands Iwould
say, come, for no where on the wide
universe has the infinite Creator, in the
natural scenery, beauty and grandeur; IN

agricultural lands, rich and prolific; in
the number and division of the hills Fand

grounds for sheep and cattle at all seasons
of the year; in the number of hot springs,

properties, and last, but not least, in the
generous hospitality Of the lime noun

regard this last refusal as final and say the

The Tariff AGAIN.

The Manufacturers League, represent
ing 200 manufacturers and %, 600 opera
tiyes, will petition the National Demo
cratic Convention to insert in the plat
form two very important planks. one be-
ing the abolition of all duties on raw ma.
terial, and the other, an adjustment of the
tariff so that manufacturers approach
ing nearest the crude State viii pay the
lower rate and manufacturers that have
further advanced-requiring more skill
and labor-will pay the higher rate Of
duties.
It is argued by the League that the
Democratic hope is in the Stats of New
York. New jersey and Connecticut, and
that since it is not possible to out-do
the Republicans in their promises as to-
the duty on wool, or to make the iron
plank more reassuring to the iron manu-
facturers, Ohio and Pennsylvania should
Be dropped from the count and an effort
be made to secure the votes Of those
States where the difference between the
rude and the manufactured articles is
greater.

CALDWELL. Texas. June 80. 1891

CALDWELL, TEXAS, June 81, 1854
EDITORS CLARION As from correspon-
dents of newspapers, liberal advertise
ments aud frequeRtly misguided friends
who select few who have made fortunes,
among our best youths from old States
and even central Texas, are leaving homes
and those who could advance them in life
to go TO west Texas to become "coW boy
or find a fortune at once, as it Were, and,
as generally is the case, land here among
strangers and with but little money, which
frequently causes a change in the moral
man and wrecks a man for lille; and as my
business has carried me for the last six
months in those frontier counties, and see
ing 80 many disappointed young men, /
would be glad that You would advocate
strongly the young men staying at home,
as there is not q trade or profession but
what is badly crowded, and west Texas Is
certainly a bad place for a poor man.
At some OF these frontier railroad towns,
have seen from ten to twenty arrive daily,
some without money who tried ia vain to
get employment Of any kind and failed,
and in few weeks we have either tramp
or thief. Cattle men do not wish hands
without experience. Wages for clerks and
book-keepers are very low, and situation
extremely difficult to find, and the eoun-
try is not settled enough 10 create much
demand for farm laborers; and the eonse-
quence is, without money to engage in
business or to speculate, prospects for
rise ale certainly gloomy. In organizing
= surveying corps where ten men only
we're wanted, had over one hundred ap-
plications BY men in a place of 1900 inhab-
itants who were out Of employment or
money. Parties coming here 10 60 IN the
cattle business on small scale can make

It's All a Mistake.

The Democratic Representatives in
Congress from the State of Mississippi
need no Eindication, as enormously
claimed by some of their would-be
Jealous friends The truth is, and we
charge it, that said Representatives are
entirely satisfied with what is known to
be the feeling of the voters of the sew
eral Congressional districts with refer
ence to them. More than that, We
charge without hesitation that said Rep
resentatives believe that the course of
the late State Convention was not only
conservative but wise, and that the best
interests of the party in the State and
Nation were served by the action taken
on the questions presented.
Having made the foregoing statement,
as challenges are the order of the day,w
respectfully challenge the persons and
the newspapers who are finding fault
with the Convention, under the false
pretence that they are interested in
belstering up our Congressman, to fur
nish us with the name of single Con
gresham who is in sympathy with them
in their attacks on the Convention.
We repeat what we have said more
than once, that the matter of most in
terest to the Democrats of Mississippi is
to elect President of the United States,
and it is of but little concern, compare
lively, whether the man 10 be elected be-
longs to the Morrison or the Randall
school, providsd he is a Democrat.
We have been charged with indulging
in special pleading in our efforts to show
the spirit which governed the Conyen-
ton in its. dealing with matters submitted
to it. We have now put the question at
issue in such a shape that those who de-
sire to bring to their support the SYM
pathies of the friends of our distin-
guished Congressman, may do so if our
Congressman desire to record themselves
as opponents of the policy of represen-
tative State Convention. We declare
that they will not be so recorded, and
that the claim made by their unwise and
oEer-zealous friends, that they desired CT
expected Endorsement by the State Con-
yentian, is all a mistake.

Col Z. o. Reynolds On the clemmsns
Resolution.

AHERpEES, Mrs. July s 1884.
EprroR CLARION / zee iron The
CLARIox. that there L an impression that
the Committee On Resolutions Of the last
Democratic State Convention, By their
failure to report fzvorably on the resoln-
ton offered By Mr.. Clemmeus, Of Nozubee,
endorsing the administration Of Cor. Low
~. intended condemnation Of the Cover
nor. The resolutions reported BY the Com-
mittee and adopted By the Convention, DO
not admit of this construction, and we're
no. 90 intended. The resolutions prefer
nit any expression of opinion as to State
policy, and refer with "exaItant satisfac-
ton to the record of the past as an index
Of future action" and Gov. LoEry's adj
ministration makes up part Of this
record Of the past"
Speaking for myself alone, do not hesi-
tate to avow my endorsement OF Gov.
Lowry. We have differed on some ques-
.ious, but these differences have not lessened
ms full confidence in his integrity, purity
and wisdom.
There must necessarily be difference OF
opinion on questions OF principle and party
policy, as the canons of the party furnish
no absolute standard by which either is to
be judged The Committee did not under
take to read any set of men out of the party,
and thought that in State Convention as
sembled in a Presidential year to appoint
delegates to a National Convention, Demo-
cratic intolerance was out of place. We
RENTED, as think wisely and prudently,
the principles of the party and its nominees
to be settled by the National Convention
Of the Democratic party.
Yours very truly,
