AHe Otty anu FestlVe DecelVefI
The Gazette Of July 2lst, contains
quite lengthy article from one ].
A. Gibbons. In that article Glib.
hons spreads himaelf over much
paper for the purpose Of showing
that Mason county has been ruined
by the Democrats.
Hedoals much in figures figures
that show nothing but a mass Of
incongruOus and unintelligible
statements.
He processes to base his analysis
aud statements upon the report Of
the Committee which was appoint.
ed by the Court to ascertain the in.
dsbtedness Of the county, but his
insincerity and dishonesty in this,
and failure to do 80, can be seen by
simply reading his article and in.
specting the report made by the
Committee.
While the report of that Com
mittee shows there has been a debt
Of $4,000 paid since 1881, yet it
does not show when said debt com.
menced, or where it originated, nor
does it show the conclusions reach.
ed by Mr.. Gibbons in his article.
Mr., Gibbons says: "there was al.
most no debt in 1876" How docs
he know thisH Where is his proof
for this slatement2 He is dogmat.
ical and prOfuse in statements, but
weak in logic and scant in analy-
sis,
"Almost no debt in 1857 This
declaration shows the partisan feel.
ing that actua,ed Mr.. Gibbons in
the production Of his verbose arti.
Gle; shows tina. he was guided in
his efforts by a spirit of political
hnpean not from a generous and
patriotic desire TO enlighten the
good people Of Mason county upon
the financial condition of their
county.
The truth is, no one knows when
this debt, as ascertained, common.
ced, II may reach back for 80
years, ormore. Indeed, the system
followed in managing The fiscal af.
fairs Of the county is, and has been,
loose, and well calculated to create
a debt.
The Court in fixing the levy for
each year has no definite basis up.
on which to ground its estimate
The best it can do, is to approx.
mate the expenses Of any year, and
lay levy to meet the amount Of
Misrepresentation.
The legitimate expenditures for
the year may far exceed the esLi.
mate of the Court; hence there will
be q debt to the amount Of the de-
ticiency, Then the orders consti
tuting this deficiency are interest
bearing. This is the manner Of do
ing the cOunty's business, and ii is
easy to see how a debt can be crea.
ted-how a debt Of small proper.
tions at frst, can by aCcretions from
year TO- year, and interest, reach
large proportions. The report Of
the committee shows that there
was a deficiency, thus created, each
year, from 1878 (tho period i! COM
menced WITH to 1881. Why mol
the same state Of things exists be-
yOuG 1878 to any time, even to a per
iOd 40 years ago2 How does Mr.
Gibbons know "there was almost
no debt in 1882" If there was
none, why does be not show in
Well does the gentleman know
that his statement is false and the

The Committee by It's report
shows that since 1881 there has
been an excess, each year, of levy

The PrOhIbIlIon Convention.


In this issue we publish full
report of the proceedings of the
Prohibition County Convention,
held in this place last Saturday,
The Convention was not very
large in active participants, but
it was a determined, aggressive
baud, who wen! to work with a
zeal worthy Of the cause they adj.
vocate, and while We are opposed
to the formation Of a third party,
yet we cannot ignore the fact that
this new party will be a factor and
very important one, in the pull.
tics Of this county and State, and
you may fidicule the movement all
you will, the factor is there all the
same, aud it Sill not down at your
bidding.
The Submission question has at.
tanned such an importance and such
huge proportions, that the old part.
les must meet thequestion squarely
and fairly. They cannot dodge
the question any longer. They
must graphic with the growing
sentiment in favor Ct submitting
the proposed prohibition amend,
ment to the constitution to q vote
of the people, The two old part.
les must take one OF the other horn
ofthe dilemma, They must either
honestly and deIerminedly oppose
Submission, or sincerely and hon
estly favor it,
This dllly'dallying on the part
Of the old parties with this quest.
ion, has Disguised the advocates Of
Submission, and the third party
movement is the result.
What will the Democrats do in
their coming Conventions with
this great question: The Demo
cratic party has to meet The
question. They must either bold
lly favor submission; or bravely
and learlessIy opposeit. They must
define their position in such plain
language, the English Of which
will not be misunderstood.
| We repeat, we are opposed to a
third party, still we are generous
enough to conCede the right of the
Ptohibitionists to form one, if BY
that means they think they can
best attain the ends they are striv.
ling for, but we doubt the wisdom
Of their course.
No dOub! this new party will
come in for its full share Of perpe
cution; and we expect to SEQ ii Sc,

Was He


VICTORIA, D. c., Oct. 29.-Robert Evan
Sproule, was executed this forenoon at
$40 o'clock at the Provincial Jail in the
presence of about 20 persons. The crime
for which Sproul suffered the penalty of
death was the murder Of Thomas HAmmil
on the Sd Of June. 1885, on the borders of
Kootensi Lake. Strenuous efforts have
been made to delay the execution. and
numerous reprieves have been granted,
several being on the request Of the United
States Government. To the last day
Sproule was hopeful. and expected tina,
the sentence would be commuted. Yes.
terdsy, however, he appeared to give up
hope, and prepared himself to die. Dur
ing the night he slept we'll, and this morn.
ing he partook of a substantial breakfast.
His demeanor was shat Of q man who had
made his peace with God, and was recon-
ciled to the fate that awaited him. His
advisers, Revs. Frazer and Percivsl, en-.
desvored to draw from him o confession,
but he persistently said he had nothing Ia
confess.

The Lead Market.

Lead was sold in tine New York market
last week as low as four cents, and man.
ufacturers are reported as being slow 10
taking II at that price. Speaking of the
metal, the New York Engineering and
Mining Journal of the 23d instant says:
THE troubles with the lead market are
first that consumption Is much less than it
was a year ago. The corridors at their
meeting last week compared notes, and We
are told estimated that the amour Of lead
used 10 their business this year will DO
from 10. 1000 to $4,000 tons less than in
1885, and to q less degree other manufsc.
turers have lsssened their consumption.
On the other hand. our imports have been
quite large and our production greater
than 10 1885. The effect Is seen 10 stocks
quite inconveniently large. and including
the stocks in manufacturers hands. sufi-
cient to account for the present condition
OF the market. 1t Is impossible to say
how much lower lead may go nor how
much manipulation may have to do with
the decline. but she statistical position Of
the metal is such that M important sd-
vance can be looked for until there Is an
improvement in the c~onsumptive de-
mand."

Of the larger portion of the city south OF

the ground that action is barred by the

throws the action out of court.
