forts and money 10 the fostering and

and it may be remarked that the
state is entitled TO more credit per-
haps for this feature Of her public
expression, than any other, for in
this she seeks to make higher
grade of citizenship and lift her pco-

Correspondence OF the Democrat.
Seeing In the last issue of the
DEMOCRAT call of the county coun-
Gil of b. of +. to meet on the 10th
inst, for the purpose Of determining
what course the order should pur-
sue, politically, l will offer few
thoughts on the subject. Brothers,
my advice and position is, for us "to
touch not, handle not the unclean
thing" Politics is deadly poison
to the order. If we let the order
drift into politics, it will kill the or
der; dethrone the Democratic party
and put the Republican party in
power again. Our county has hard
ly recovered from the wounds re.
ceived under that administration
up till this day, and in view OF those
dark and damnable days, | ask all
true Democrats to think soberly and
seriously OF what they do in making
the b. OF + a political organization.

agitating this matter in our county.

the declaration 81 Independence, and
then to give form and stability 70
the everlasting principles which Il
contained, he organized the demo

ocratic party is the party Of the peo-

rights. 1t has always been and will
be till the crack Of doom.

II may DC Interesting " ihquiIt
when the democratic party lost the
ability to control the politics of the
country, if such be the case, or when
did it prove recreant to the trusts
committed to its keeping2 The an
swer win be given in certain and
emphatic terms, as it is written in
the common judgment of our people,
that the ability is not lost, neither
has the party proved recreant to any
trust; and none will be found to
gainsay the truthfulness of this but
the enemies OF the party, and those
who seek position regardless Of her
welfare, and regardless OF her au-
thority. We state it here without
fear Of contradiction, that the very
best agent that can be employed to
chrystalize and unity our people in
their political movements and acts,
is the democratic party. 1t has been
SO for the last twelve years, and was
the mighty agent employed to hurl
down republican misrule and corrup-
ton, and lnaugurate peaceful meas
ures and bestow the boon of security
and quiet to u troubled people in
1872. Can it not, nay ought it not
to be trusted yet? 1t may be, and is
the desire of some to bring into req
uisltion another means of controlling
Pope county politics. We cannot
think that this desire has anything
but limited existence among dem
ocrats especially. Among repnbll-
cans and other enemies of the party
the desire of course is universal, but
among democrats, how can 1t exist?
The democratic party contatns a
large majority Of the solid
worth Of the county, and
under any other system or organiza-
ton, if ordinary wisdom was used,
the very same means and measures
would be honored except so far as
the natural enemies of the party
could control it otherwise. Why
then the effort to pass political mat.
tiers to other control. No objection
can be found or urged against other
interests seeking strength and forti
fication IN organized form; but leave
politics to that peculiar form of or
ganization which has so long proved
equal to their management. Under
the democratic party organization,
we have enjoyed as full freedom,
equal justice, light taxation, as great
peace and prosperity as could be ex
pected from any other source. If
the democratic party of Pope county
has not provided us good officers,
then it is because we have no good
men, for our officers have been taken
from the ranks of our very best men,
but who will say we haven't good
officers? Nobody. Then all threat
ening elements to democratic harmo-
ny should be passed aside and the
party be left intact to continue her
mission among the people, while
other organizations can work out
their destiny under the principles on
which they wera aroon;zad

We have had occasion several
times to mention the existence of
mineral bearing ledges to the north
of this city, and firmly believe that
at some not distant day the
mountains in the vicinity OF Che
welah will be producing large guam
Titles Of gold and silver. We may
be in error, but from all we can learn
from reliable sources the metal ex-
lists in that locality. There is no de-
sire on the part Of this paper to ere
ate an unnecessary excitement over
the presence in certain localities Of
gold, and in this case there is very
little danger Of stampede as 1t will
require labor and some capital to de-
velOp the ledges. That someone is
sure to realize handsomely from this
new field we are satisfied, and the
work that is to bring the mines be-
fore the public will be done this sum-
mer. A sample Of the gold from
that section is now in the possession
of J. NJ. Grimmer, the genial pro-
prietOr Of the n. =. Hotel. 1t Is in
the shape Of an anvil, roughly beaten
out from pure gold, and presented
to HIM by some friend who has been
prospecting the country. We look
forward to a good report from the
Chewelah district before many
months.

bors, thinking all was not right went
to see what had become of Higgins,
by scraping in the garden with a hoe

surface, they soon uncovered his
head and saw that he had been shot
in the head. At the inquest it ap-
peared that he had been shot twice,
once in the back Of the head and
once in the temple, the latter bullet
passing entirely through the head.
This shot had been fired at such
short range that the powder burned
the side of the victims face. A
young man by the name Of Mott has
been arrested for the murder. Mott
had in his possession, after the muir

was also wearing coat which be-
longed to Higgins, and after the
murder Mott tried to get a filing on
