GOLD STRIKE.

A Vein of Gold Bearing Ore Un-
 covered in the Morning Star
 Claim Prospectors FIocEing to
 the Vicinity.
 About noon last Friday a strike was made in the Morning Star claim, the property of Messrs. Edward and John Whalen and M. R. Parker, that has created quite an excitement among those who believe that auriferous metal abounds in these mountains. In starting to cross-cut and follow the lead of rich black oxide of copper, which has made the mine famous, Mir. Parker discovered particles of gold in the ore. In vestigation developed the fact that quite vein of porphyry or quartzose, in decomposed state, carrying free flake gold in paying quantities, had been unearthed. The mine is west of Clifton about ten miles, and 800 or 1000 yards from the Alaska mine, in Greenlee mining district, and adjoins the Garfield group of mines, on Chase creek. The strike is surprise to many, but yet was not unex- pected by some. J. M. Dunlap, of Denver, Col, a man 72 years of age, who has had forty years practical experience in mining in this country and South America, says he is not surprised at the discovery of gold, and believes that when the copper mines are sunk to greater depths more valu- able metals will be found. Mir. Dunlap, who represents some capi talists, has notified them of the late discovery, and it is not un- likely that the representations which have been made will cause mining men to turn toward this camp. and Clifton may look for a boom. An impetus has already been given to prospecting in the vicinity of the gold strike, and prospectors are numerous in the mountains adjacent thereto, look ing up old claims and making new locations. We congratulate the owners of the Morning Star upon their fortunate discovery, and hope that their faith, that our mountains are the storehouses of undiscovered mineral wealth, may be verified.

PosTMAsTER-GENERAL VILLAS has changed the names of some oi the postoffices heretofore having outlandish titles, and for so doing he will receive the thanks of cor respondents generally and post masters particularly. Some of the postofiices are called by names so long and so hard to pronounce that it is wonder lock jaw is not more common. The Chicago Fri buue says no one expected such an innovation of a W isconsin man, but 1t is another proof of what has for some time been claimed, that the seat of culture has moved to the West.

By reference to the proceedings of. the Board of Supervisors it will be seen that Apache county is moving in the matter of having the boundary line between that county and Graham established by an official survey. It is i'm portant that 1t should be done, in order to settle the question of jurisdiction and also to enable the Assessors of the respective coun- ties to make their assessments ad- visedly. The act to create Ora ham out of the counties of Pima and Apache leaves its northern boundary in doubt, the language used being as follows: "Thence north on said meridian 110 of west longitude) to Black river, thence along said Black river to its head; thence due east to the llne of New Mexico" The Board of this county desire to know what the Supervisors of Apache consider to have been intended in the act by the head of Black river. It has been decided by the Supreme Court of Kentucky, 1st Bibb, p. 75, that "the head of a creek or river will be taken to mean the head of it's longest branch, unless there be forcible evidence of com mon reputation to the contrary" If the foregoing decision is adopted as the law defining the headwaters of Black river, then the head of that stream is at or near Reservoir lake, in White mountains, and a line run due east to the line of New Mexico, in the language of the statute, would place Bush valley in Graham county.

IT Is unpardonable that in this age, when facilities for publication are so great and competition so ex- tensiva, that months should elapse after the adjournment of the Legls- lature before the laws are pub lished Many of the acts go into effect upon their passage and yet the people are in ignorance of them. If one wishes a copy of any law application must be made to the Secretary of the Territory, who will furnish it upon payment of fees. As the acts were approved they might have been placed in the hands of compositors and in a few days after tho adjournment given to the public. The acts of the Legislature of 1855 were not distributed until August.

TIE sex in the cottonwood tree i

THE sex in the cottonwood tree is clearly defined, and one bears no cotton whatever. This fact is an important one and if taken advan- tage Of will avoid the annoyance Ph@nlx is now experiencing. Parties intending to set out trees next year,should make a careful ln- spsction the present season, mark such trees as arc not now loaded with cotton, and cut their poles from them when the planting sea- son has arrived. Iu this manner a good shade may be obtained without the nuisance of flying cot ton for several weeks in each year. -Pheaix Gazette.

The American Copyright league has is
sued circular address agitating discussion
OF measure to be presented to the next con-
gress, asking for the passage of an inter
national copyright law. The object of such
law would be to protect that form of indus
try which produces written works, pictures
and musical compositions. American author
ship struggles against ruinous competition
with foreign works that are not paid for, and
is thus made the victim of public plundering.
There is no reason why American brains
should not be protected as well as American
labor or American capital engaged in manu-
featuring. Authors and inventors are among
the greatest benefactors of mankind, and
they should be protected. 1t is an outrage
that literary property should not be placed on
the same plane as other property, and every
principle of fair play and public morality de-
mands the passage OF such law as the Copy
right league will ask from congress.

rO-DAr,s CONTENTION.

The Democratic ward primaries held on
yesterday resulted satisfactory. The selec-
tons Of candidates to fiji positions in the
various sldermanic districts were good and
the gentlemen named for the respective
places will fill them with credit if elected, as
they doubtless will be. The delegates elected
to the city convention, which meets this
morning at Turner hall. are representative
Democrats and will discharge their delicate
trust with fidelity to the best interests of the
Democratic party and of the city of st. Paul.
The ticket nominated to-day will be the one
elected at the coming municipal election, and
the people OF our city look confidently to the
convention for ticket that will commend
itself for the character OF its candidates We
feel assured their just expectations will not
be disappointed

THE MrcHIeAy ELECTION.

The Michigan election bears with it a
moral. 1t is the first straw to indicate how
far public Judgment has weighed Democratic
administration of the national government,
and as an index to the popular mind the
Democratic party has every reason to congrat-
ulate itself. 1t is not simply victory, but is
absolutely . revolution. The Republicans
started into the fight with all the odds in their
favor. They had their organization in good
shape. They formed alliances with the Pro-
hibitionists and all the political odds and
ends of the state. Their ticket was headed
with the name of gentleman as candidate
for the supreme bench whose reputation as
lawyer and jurist is coextensive with the
continent The splendid majority which the
Michigan Democrats have rolled up for their
ticket is an unmistakabie expression OF pop
ular confidence in the Democratic party.
President CLEVELAND has the people at his
back, and with their confidence and support
he will make good use of the means he has
at hand to accomplish the reforms the people
expect of his administration.
There is another lesson in the Michigan
election. The people have spoken in con-
demnation of sumptuary legislation. When
ever the Republicans of Michigan formed a
combination with the Prohibtionists the
issue then came directly before the people
whether or not they would have their personal
rights abridged. The decision is emphatic
enough to admit of no misunderstanding.
The Democratic party is on the record as OPP
posed to all sumptuary laws. 1t is some
times asked, why do Democrats take such
position? The answer is plain enough. The
advocates of sumptuary legislation assume
that by the passage of laws people bent
upon a vicious indulgence can be made
Suddenly virtuous; and they even go the
length of affirming that the number of men
who know what is good for them is small,
and that this minority ought to be capable of
compelling the majority to lead lives of good
ness. These assumptions are too violent
for Democratic acceptance. Democrats do
not believe that drunkards can be reformed
and turned into saints by Legislature, nor
is it quite clear to the Democratic mind that
minorities are sent into the world to coerce
maiorities. That drunkenness is a great
evil no intelligent person will deny. 1t in
wolves many woes, crimes and iniquities,
but slavery is an evil which involves greater
and more general suffering. The good
bishop who thought nation would do well to
sacrifice its sobriety rather than its freedom
spoke wisely and well. The way to deal with
bibulous habits is by education of the moral
and intellectual perceptions, and through
those social influences which the temperate ice
organizations are exciting. Through their
intemperance has been accomplished than
by all the sumptuary laws that were ever
passed since social reforms began to agitate
the public mind. And that is the view the
people of Michigan have taken of it,

DOCTORS WIZ DIS 1GREE.

The marvellous tenacity with which Gen
GRANT holds on to life has started war
among the doctors, some of them asserting
that with proper treatment be might have
been saved altogether. The doctors In
charge of the distinguished patient have
been overwhelmed with advice which with
entire unInimity they have disregarded. A
cancer doctor from away up in Vermont
travelled all the way down to New York ut
the suggestion of Mr. STEVE EL6ISs to try
his skill as a specialist on Gen. GRANT. But
the regulars choked him OF. Old women
have been sending in their ''yarbn remedies
by the bushel. Yet they all go out of the
kitchen window. While all this is laughabe
in its way, still it shows the kind feeling of
the American people for Gen. GRANT and
the deep affection aud sympathy inspired for
his suffering. Aud perhaps no one is more
touched with these erelitable intentions of
kind-hearted folk than Gen. GRANT himself.
The most serious disagreement. however.
is among the physicians. One class is always
ready to criticise another class If Gen.
GRANT had died according to the schedule
AASN NE ~ tbN SttCuutu- puNSAClaUS
of course there would have been no ground
for criticism. But rs his pluck
proved stronger than his disease and since at
the time when his funeral should have been
going on according to the medical time table
the veteran was sitting up in his easy chair
writing his own bulletins and discussing
military affairs in Central America, the
doctors who are on the outside of the sick
room At once say that the doctors who are in
side do not know what they are talking about
when they say the case is hopeless, Tue at
tending physicians are members of the allo-
psthic school and now a weekly publication

Gen. GRASr's physicians but saws II he had
been treated upon HAHSE,tANS principles he
would have pulled through. Ii such is the
fact it is unfortunate But as long as Gen.
GRANT himself aud his family are satisfied
with the treatment he is receiving it is no
body's business what kind of treatment he
gets. The PHYSICIANS who are treating him
are gentlemen of experience and reputation

IN EASTERN HEREsY.

The st. Paul GLOBE reminds Mr.. CLEVELAND
that minnesota is one of the United States and
is fond of pie" There is an impression in Wash.
ington that there aren't any Democrats in Min
nesota.-Ph Philadelphia Press.
Alas, too true. But more mistaken no.
ton never gained credence. The Minnesota
woods are just full of Democrats. And a
hner-looking set of gentlemen and more
devoted body of patriots never blessed any
state with their presence and their services.
1t is true that they are not as plentiful as we
would like to see and the good of the country
demands. But when you find Democrat in
and the blue blood of Democracy courses
through every vein. Democracy with him is
principle and not profession. He is
generous in his Democracy and while he is
fond OF pie he is content to live on wood
chuck if some other poor Democrat is hun
grier for pie than he is. The ranks of the
faithful are growing, for which we thank a
kind Providence. The people of Minnesota
are seeing their way more clearly, day by
day, that the Democratic party is really the
peoples party, and they are coming in to
swell its ranks. They find their only hope
OF security from the greed and extortion of
monopoly is in the Democratic party, and
one of these fine Minnesota mornings, just
after state election, the Eastern people
will be surprised to see Minnesota Demo-
cratic state, solid and everlasting in her
Democracy. When we do come we are COM
ing to stay.
