Nor all Republican papers have the

of people for dispeiling the supersti.
ton that any sort of gratuity. no mat.
ter how absurd it's grounds, needed
only to be labelled pension" to make
it as sacred as the ark the tabernacle
and to make politicians of all degrees
shrink from laying hand on itas they
would shrink from tampering with
dynamite. The Express says that Mr.
Cleveland " has shown that men may
lay rude hands on pension bills and
live, and that some of these bills when
examined conceal wrongs and hum
bugs. This is so clear to the country
that we cannot believe any effective
party capital will be made by denounc
ing the general policy Of vetoing i'm
proper pension bills" That really
looks reasonable.

The Republicans of Grant county,
Mimi, where they have a majority of
nearly 700, recently resolved in con.
vention:
We hold that the doctrine that
protection protects the labor classes of
America is a delusion and a snare :;
that the Iaboring man of this country
necessarily competes with the pauper
labor of the old world, while the man
ufacturer is made rich at the expense
of al" j"
And the Pioneer Press, of st. Paul,
the leading Republican paper in
Minnesota, says:
There is now one State, reliably
Republican, which can be depended
upon to work for the interest of the
burdened consumer against the man.

BRILLIANT DISCOVERY OF GOLD
IN EASTERN HONDURAS.

CHICAGO, January 2T'-A local paper publishes
long article this morning. announcing the dscov-
cry of rich gold fields in the republic of Honduras.
Some six months ago James Rector Miigan, Col.
Pat Donan, of Dakota, and three others from Indi
ana, made up pool and sent Rector and another
man-an old California prospector-to Honduras,
to examine and report upon the new gold field
eastern part of that republic Fun particulars,
both by cable and mail have arrived, and also
little bag of S22 in dust The importance of the
find is no longer concealed. Already Mr.. Milligan,
of Fargo, Dakota has gone TO Honduras Colonel
Donan will follow In few weeks, and several
other parties of western men are making ready to
set out for the new Eldorado Mr.. Rector, who has
been on the ground since last summer, and who is
known as prudent, cautious man, one possessed
of unusually hard sense writes to his friend here
that the discovery is likely to prove important
as any of the great placer districts of California
The new field lies In the eastern portion of the
republic of Honduras, and about 100 miles from
the Atlantic coast, adjacent to the head-waers of
the Gusyape river, q tributary stream OF the Rio
Pattica. The region has long been known for it's
mineral resources. Mr.. Rector and party explored
miles and have found scores of places where gravel
yields from ten to eighty cents to the pan. They
have begun regular mining, however, in a place,
where, after much toll, they sncceeded In turning
the river from its native bed. Here they dug down
and it is panning out from 81 to $40 cubic yard.
The yield is fully equal to that of the best placer
diggings In California. The gold which has been

a mustard seed to nuggets as big as birds eggs.

GALVESTON, January 27.-Among the passengers
of the steamship Harlan from Vera Cruz, to-day,
was Capt. j. Lawrence, of the bark SILICA, which
was wrecked on the Mexican coast near Tonaa, on
the 1Ith of last December. The Silica was of
Nova Scotia, bark of 29S tons burden, built at
Picton in 1888, and valued at $4,000, She sailed
from Aspinwall on the 10th of November in ballast
for Minatitlan, Mexico. Capt Lawrence says, that
on the 18th Of December, about eleven o'clock,
fearful gale struck the ship. They were in sight OF
land, The storm ragged all that night. Although
both anchors were down the vessel was drifted be-
fore the wins like cork. Her masts were stripped
of every yestige of sails and rigging, and at eight
O'Clock on the 1ith she was driven ashore. The
crew Immediately abandoned the vessel and next
ship, The disaster occurred four miles northeast
of the town of Tonala, in Tobasco,
barren coast, with no facilities for getting the
ship off. Captain Lawrence says his crew was
treated in the most brutal and heartless manner by
the Mexican customs officials During their efforts
of several days to get the ship OFF, these theving
officials came out took all the food and clothing on
the ship, and doed ont hard tack, without meat to
the crew, VINO finally refused to work any longer,
and the captain sold the vessel at public auction
for $40, but not one dollar of the proceeds ever
reached the captain. The auctoneer and the Gus
toms officials divided the spols. The captain says
that he even saw customs inspectors running about
wearing the undershirts and stockings belonging
to himself and crew. He has complained TO the
British consul, at Vera Cruz, who will report the
matter to his government Captain Lawrence re-
ports the American schooner Emma Il. Davis,
ashore, a couple of miles below where the SILICA
was wrecked. The Davis is threemast schooner
| in ballast from Porto Rico for Tonala, and went
ashore about January o. Efforts were being made
| to get her OFF at the time Captain Lawrence left
| Lawrence sails for New York tomorrow by thI
steamship Comal
