bricks have put their heads together
and are going to smash things when
Congress meets. As o result of this
combination of brain matter, says the
Herald, the conclusion was reached BY
both of them that Mr.. Cleveland sis
not big enough for the Presidency"
Furthermore, Mr.. Eustis proposes to
make a speech in the Senate and throw
his opinions broadcast wei the cont.
nent, and thus the affair becomes serious.
The speech Of Eustis, Of Louisiana, is
" ~ouSiSss We aIC bVtoB Va eHtc oiuipiC
air, with fugue variations: "We handed
to you. Mr.. President, a trust. 1t has
been your boast that q public Office is
9 public trust. The Democratic party
gave You a public trust. What have
you done with it,"
From the eloquent Senate Chamber,
all down Pennsylvania avenue, the stem.
torian tones of Eustis, of Louisiana, are
expected to reverberate. and when they
reach the White House there will be
CONSERVATION and dismay. Mr.. Cleve.
land will tremble like an aspen leaf in a
Cyclone, and the editor Of the Tribune
will clasp his lily white hands in childish
glee. And to think that Mr.. Cleveland
is fishing in the Adirondack ~sereneIy I'M.
conscious of the impending danger. It
is too utterly much.

basis of the smedium of exchange, it
would be exceedingly difficult to find
where the two dollars came from that

1t is evident, says the Mining Review,
that a wider view of the mining industry
and a better comprehension of its rela'
tions to almost every form of human
activity, the important part its develop.
ment has played in the history of every
people, and its wonderful influence in
determining the prosperity and perma-
nence of industrial and political empires,
will show the far-reaching impress Of this
great factor Of human advancement. In
this country mining is in its infancy. its
vast unknown resources are but dimly
comprehended, successful methods and
appliances are but family indicated by
the means in use which are so destruc-
tive of those precious elements of success
time and labor-as well as the costly
product which is the chief object of all
efforts in this direction. There has been
a time Of heavy expenditure of money
with no immediate return, but not more
than in the establishment of any other
important line of business in q new
field. Although the mining industry in
the greater part of this country is in
the first crude stages of it's develop
ment, the returns, compared with the
cost, will compare most favorably with
any other enterprise Of whatever char
acter. The discovery Of precious metal
in California established an empire Of
industry upon the Pacific Coast and set
forward the Star Of Empire more than a
century on its journey toward the set
ting sun, and gave q vitalizing impetus
to the business interests of this country
SC that it came out of one of the mos.
stupendous and disastrous civil wars o.
modern times with . vigor and recu'
perative energy which soon blotted Out
the record Of destruction and ruin.
