SILVER IN INDIANA.
Considerable Excitement over the
Result OF Assay ing.

Rcsult OF Assay ing.
EVANSVILLE, IND, Dec. 20.--Residents
in Dubois county, this district, are
greatly excited over the development of
rich silver mine near Buck Shoals, on the
east fork of White river. The discovery
of silver dates back to the beginning of
the present century, when, according to
an old story James GwiDn, who was locat-
ing farm near Hayesville, discovered
silver ore in rich quantities. He
went east 10 interest spectators in the
venture, bit they refused to assist him.
He came hack TO his find but was taken
i'll with malignant fever and died two
days after his return. No one cared TO
investigate the story until two years ago
when John Seitz became interested in
the matter and began prospecting in
Buck Shoals. He discovered ore in
large quantities and had many specimens
analysed all yielding more or less
silver. Two weeks ago he sent specimens
to indianapolis to be assayed. the result
showing silver in paying quantities. He
at once leased the land about his own
little property, and il now preparing o
car load of the ore TO send to st. Louis to
be smoked. Buck Shoals is situated in
| mountainous region. The yein.is said
| to be very easy of access.

Wilmington, THURSDAY, Dec 20. 1886

The gallant Morrison has again chal-
lensed the proteotionists aud has again |
been defeated, though by much smaller |
margin than OF the last session. Indeed
had Judge Reagan Of Texas gotten out of
his bath-tub ia time and the four other
absent and Impaired Democrats (Aiken,
8. O., Ellsberry, o., King, La, and
Reed, N. o. been in their seats, the
vote would have been tie.
But the people have been betrayed
again by nominal Democrats and in a
inapner that recalls General Hancock's
memorable definition Of the tariff as a
local issue. With the Ave protection
Democrats Of Pennsylvania, and probably
Martin Of Alabama, the issue was iron;
Ohio's seven protection Democrats were
tender on wool; Louisiana's four protec-
ton Democrats wanted to hold on to the
duty on sugar. Two Illinois Democrats
voted with the high tariff men probably
for no other reason than to antagonize
Morrison; but why the balance of the 26,
made up Of Ave from New York and two
New Jersey, so voted, it may bother them
to explain to their constituents.
The time will come, possibly sooner
than they think, whom these obstruc-
tionists will move of the truck or DO run
over. Already, to the CONSERVATION Of
3 the Louisiana men, the Republicans with
whom they have cast their lot are talking
Of striking OF half the duty on sugar.
American trade and American labor are
calling, like Ireland, for emancipation
from burden too heavy TO be longer
borne. To borrow Justin McCarthyH
tribute to Gladstone and Ptlrnell, we may
we'll say that, let tariff reform come in
the end from whose hand it may, history
will write in imperishable characters OF
the tablet Of the shaft that commentaries

tho thralldom of unjust and unnecessary
taxation the names Of Morrison and Oar
