THE Washington Republican says: EVERY
body has heard Of the man with a peculiar
gun that would hit an object obscurely seen
ifit was a deer, and miss, should it prove to
be a calf. The Chicago Tribune has found
such gun 10 the tariff. 1t advances the po-
siton that a high tariff on wool reduces the
price, and, conversely, that low duty will
raise the price. This is purely for Ohio de-
location. 1t happens in this way, as explained
by the Tribune: The high duties on wool
induce Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, and heaps
Of States to engage in sheep raising; this
causes a surplus of wool; the price goes down,
and Ohio wool growers are compelled to sell
wool cheap. Put down the tariff, import
cheap wool, drive Texas and the other States
out of the business, and Ohio, having a mon
opoly, can get her own price for wool. The
tariT gun will hit and kill the Texas, Tennes-
Sc and Virginia deer, and miss the Ohio
cal So the Ohio people are called on to
help slaughter the other States for the general
good, and take their pay IN high priced wool.
Cook county, Illinois, is to take its pay in low
priced cloth made out OF the Ohio high priced
wool, and the Eastern wooden men are to
make their money by paying the Ohio farmer
more for wool, and selling the Chicago mer-
chant cloth at lower price. 1t is supposed
sthat this recommendation OF the Chicago edi =
tor will cause large demand for this gun in
Ohio, and it is expected that Frank Hurd,
Morrison, Watterson, and Carlisle will all be

The Galveston Print has started a little
prediction shop of its own, and says: "If the
Democratic Presidential nomination goes to
the West it will find its way into net spread
by very estimable gentleman whose name
beeins with P. and who is popularity sup
posed to have some connection with an ex-
tensive business in oil. As matters stand at
present he is the most prominent and
promising candidate in the West for the
animation and if he does receive it there
are in Texas several alleged Democratic
papers that must either bolt the ticket or eat
an unwholesome quantity of crow. 1t remains
to be seen which they will do"

STEALING Of the recent reception given to
President Arthur. in that city, the New York
Tribune says: THE reception given to the
President Of the United States last nigh, by
his fellow members OF the Union League club
was worthy Of the club and Of the President.
Whoever seeks for a hidden political sienif-
canoe in il will be mistaken General Arthur
has been member Of the club since the days
OF the war, not always in accord with the
majority OF its members on purely partisan
questions, but under all circumstances and nj
all times commanding their personal regard
and esteem. The club has for a long time
rendered such mark Of respect to every sue
ceeding President. There was every reason
why when rendered to President who was
New Yorker, long an active member and
habitual attendant, with whose administration
his fellow members were satisfied, and Of
whose personal conduct under the trying cir
cumstances they were proud, it should be
marked by unusual heartlness and cordi-
atty"

The men under the cumuand of the

selves sufficiently strong to do so.
The Sheriff hesitates to attempt this

of troops would save bloodshed. The

CELESTIALS ON THE WAR PATH
Chinese Avengers in the Role Of Debt
Collectors.

All Sin is an old-timer In Butte.
He is quiet, industrious, inotfensive
Chinaman, and well-.iked by all the
whites who know him. A year or
two ago he became in some way in
debted-so the story goes and il is too
long to tell it all hereto the
. Virginia City Chinese "Flee
Masons," an organization, it seems
which assumes to take charge of the
morals of all Cinnamon in the country
without possessing any, to speak of.
itself. The amount alleged to be due
these virtuous Chinese Danites-
alias "Flee Masons' by All Sin
reaches nearly four hundred dollars.
The other day while Ah Sin,
who is q cook in one of the
restaurants IN the city, was engrossed
in the mysteries OF his profession,
and hummiDg the lullabys of the
Yang Use kiang. upon whose ver-
dant banks his maternal parent had
often wooed him to sleep with the
soft end of her slipper, ne Was start
led by the appearance of two of his
cOuntrymen, who, with blood In
their eyes, and a revolver and
hatchet in their hands, demanded
the immediate payment of the
amount alleged to be due to the af -,re
said named "Flee Masons.' All Sin
protested he didn't owe the money,
and called upon JOS, and all the
Oriental gods known to Confuclus t.
witness he told the truth. But the
avengers were inexorable. They
must have the money or blood.
The meek-eyed Alb Sin again denied
the debt, and then the circus COM
menced. While one of the assailan,s
beat him over the head with the re-
vOlver. the other interviewed his
legs ana sides with the hatchet. All
Sin lodged the raining blows tn.
best he could, but Celestial, lik.
Christian, flesh is sometimes weak,
though the spirit be strong, and b.
blubbered for help. 1t came, and the
luckless All Sin was saved from a
horrible death. -
The two Chinese Danites were
arrested, and the hearing OF the case
will come off Tomorrow before Judge
Nichols. 1t is said all Chinatown is
aroused over the matter, and that the
two bloodtbirsty heathens threaten
to lard the soul of An Sin

ton. In the meantime Ah Sin, who
is partially if not wholly Anglic,zed
in his habits, ard for this rees IL
heartily hated by his countrymen
here, dare not 60 into Chinatown
without being accompanied by AL
officer. He is, however, kindly
taken care of by one of our business
men, and will be on hand at the
time of the trial.

An Immense Elevator.

DULUTH, Dec. 23.-At a meetinp
vi tne stockholders of the Lake Su-
!'etior Elevator Co., which was held
IN tnis city yesterdav ', it was defini.
tely decided to build another eIe-
vator at Duluth for the business
ot the coming year, with a capacity
" million and half bushels. and
II Is understood that the Union I'M
provement and Elevator Company
vii! also build another of milliOi,
oushels capacity. The erection of
these elevators has been rendered
necessary bv the proportions which
the grain trade at Duluth has now
assumed, and by reason of the fact.
that the trade Is increasing so raridIv
mat large transactions now take
place on change daily, and many
new members have recently Joined
the board of trade, that Duluth is rap
IDLY coming to the front. That it is
the trading wheat market point in
the West is shown by the fact that
during the past season she has
shipped very nearly, if not quite, as
much wheat as Chicago, and that
she already has in store for winter
storage, feur and One.half million
bushels. and will have six millions
ln store by next spring. The capac-
lty of the Duluth elevators when
the new houses are completed will
be 8. zoo, 600 bushels.
