John r. McLean's newspaper was the only

that published the cleveland scandal" story.
Unpublished it in full, all the mess of filthy
lies and exaggerations, as soon as scavenger
Ball had it ready for circulation. 1t was pup
lished conspicuOusly, and preceded by great,
glazing head lines. And yet this same John

go to Albany and accept the inequalities of
the Executive Mansion, taking his estimable

The fluctuations that have taken place
IN the prices Of pig iron during the past
u years show how the people are placed
at the mercy of monopolists by our high
protective tariff. In 1S73it was S45 % per
Ton and in 1879 it was SIT %, while in
1880 it again went up to $40. These were
the prices in Philadelphia. 1t is now
worth about SIS 30 in that market.

1t has been arranged by the Readjuster
bosses of Virginia that Malone shall be
the Republican candidate for Governor
and Jno. S. Wise the candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor. These two eminent
kitchen statesmen have got the thing
down to fine point. If they should be
elected they will divide the patronage of
the State, and in case the next Legisla-
ture is not Democratic Malone is to go
back to the Senate and leave Wise the
Governorship of the Old Dominion. The
nation, and the indications are that both
Malone aud Wise will be relegated to
private life by large majority.

trivial incidents will be forgotten long before

1t is reported that the religious raid on
Welsh mountain, Pa, has succeeded in
obtaining a promise from the notorious
outlaw, Abe Buzzard, that he will lead
new life, provided he is not held account
able for his crimes by the State. Abe
ought to reflect how great the temptation
to backslide will be if he remains in his
old haunts. He would be safe from harm,
comparatively speaking, in State prison.

Differences Between Two Treatie

Di fferences Between Two Treaties.
The advocates of the Spanish treaty
urge that it is the same kind of a treaty
as that negotiated with Mexico, and that
the Mexican treaty having been ratified,
the Spanish treaty ought be ratified for
the same reasons. The New York Iri-
bune points out the fact that there is a
very great difference between the two
treaties. Our importatiOns from Cuba
and Porto Rico, for the year ending June
80, amounted to S64,O71, 935 in value.
About 90 per cent. Of the articles imported
was dutiable. If the treaty should be
ratified the government would lose reve-
nue. to the amount of $50, OOO, 600 annually.
By the treaty with Mexico the duty is
removed from only nine articles imported
into this country, the annual duties on
which does not amount to more than
$4,000 a year. Mexico, however, puts
sixty-seven articles which she takes
from us on her free list, and on which she
now collects a duty Of about so per cent.
of their value. Another big difference
in the two treaties is that Mexico is a
much better marby.et than Cuba and Porto
Rico, pacC~%use Mexico contains 100000
OF people and Cuba and Porto Rico only

A few days before the late Presidential
election an alleged interview appeared in
the New York Tribune with Mr.. J. Hirsch,
of the firm of Einstein, Hirsch & Co.,
doing business at Nos. So and IS Franklin
street, New York, in which Mr.. Hirsch,
who at one time was a resident of Mont
gomery, Ala, was made to say some
pretty harsh things about the manner of
conducting elections IN the South. The in
terview was widely published in the
South, and, it is alleged, did Mr.. Hirsch
and his firm a great deal CT damage. Mr..
A. R. Altmayer, of this city, received a
letter from Mr.. Hirsch a few days ago IN
which he said that he had never been in
terviewed by a reporter OF the Tribune
and declared that the interview was
bogus. Mr.. Hirsch further stated in his
letter to Mr.. Altmayer that he proposed
to make the Tribune pay for the damage
it had done him, and that he was now
collecting evidence to show the amount of
damage that he had sustained

saving snake River Gold. !.

The gold placers which exist along
Snake River from near its headwat-.
ers to where it empties into the Co
lumbia have for years attracted the
attention of placer miners, but the
fine gold has perplexed both miners
and investors to find a way to save it.
One continuance after another has
been tried, only to be found nearly,
if not quite, worthless. A new inven-
ton is now announced which gives
promise of greater success. The
Blackfoot Register has this III regard
to the new method: cat last ma
chine for saving fine gold has been
invented and put in successful opera
ton at this point by Mr.. d. 0. Crane,
of Washington, d. c., which works
to perfection. 1t consists of cop
per cylinder twelve or fourteen feet
in length, with rotating shaft ex-
tending through the entire length.
Attached to this shaft at regular in
tervals are wings or blades, so arrang-
, ed so that the sediment in passing
through is divided into thin sheets
exposing it to the surfaces OF the
wings and interior surface OF the cyl
2 inder, all Of which amalgamated, il
: fact the entire interior surface OF the
4 machine, wings, shaft, and interio
] surface of the cylinder being thor
oughly quicked. The shaft in rotat
P ing divides the sediment, beside
d washing it against the sides of th
is cylinder, bringing the light gold Il
contact with the amalgamated surfa
ces, where it is secured.
} In making test near this poin
II Mr.. Crane ran the tailings of the ma
e chine over burlaps, but not a color {
g gold could be found upon them, prov
ing conclusively that the machine 81
we'd every particle Of the gold frol
IN the dirt passed through it. Instea
20 of being exposed to one surface,
on the ordinary plates, in this machir
I'll it is not only exposed to, many surf
er. ces but by the motion of the wings
X thrown against the interior surface
ch the cylinder.
The machine is without doubt
perfect success, and will be the b
W. ginning of new era in mining alol
re Snake River. In the coming spril
as Mr.. Crane and his partner, Fred.
=, Dubois, L. S. Marshal for this Ter
tory, will place several machines alo
OH Snake River, which will add mate
me ally to the interests OF those eoneel
ms ed in mining operations, and be

About o'clock Tuesday evening,
a difficulty occurred in barber shop
in Weiser City, which resulted in the
killing of Nathaniel Bazle, a former
resident Of this city. Bazle and some
others were in the barber shop OF

noisy and demonstrative. Diertele,
who was engaged in shaving a man,
attempted to enforce order and got
into difficulty with Bazle, and sue
ceeded in ejecting him from the shop.
Bale soon after returned to, or near
the door, when Diertele was told by
the man in the chair to look out, as
Bazle was at hand and armed. Di-
ertele then armed himself and went
out on the street, when soon after the
