LandlOrdism In Ireland.

Those who think that the friction
of landlordism in Ireland and Scot
land is not CALLING upon the withers
of labor, should read this from a re-
cent letter of Mr.. Harold Frederic
to the New York Times:
We came almost inadvertently, af-
ter a long walk over marsh, worthless
land, to little group of houses called,
as we learned, "Eskanawheelna,n
which | believe in English is "the
resting place of the gulls." We
found that this little place of half
dozen houses perched on the solid
rock was two miles from any other
dwelling and four miles from any
land worth anything. Finally one of
the men came to US. He told US that
all the land we saw, a little patch,
had been carried in sacks on the
backs of women and in boxes by men
| from a distant mountain, within sight,
but several miles away. They though
they had reached a spot out of the
reach of any agent and beyond the
conceivable claim of any landlord.
But he told US that some time before
an agent going by water had noticed
little green spot, had come to the
shore, and asked them how they did
not get all the names of the house
holders. On the next Michaelmas
day he came again, representing his
landlord, and demanded SO rent
from each of the men. These five
men had probably never collected
pound together since they had lived
there. They had no communication
with other places and no opportunity
of getting penny of money, excep,
by going to England to work in the
harvest field. One of them had done
that and had lost leg in railroad
accident, and had come back with
something like FL los, l believe
They had the grimmest sort of fight
to get food. Then the landlord, and
Mr.. White, of Glengarin, made a
proposition that they should pay the
rent in labor, His proposition was
that they should work for him every
other day through the whole year to
pay the rent. The poor people 40,
cepted the proposition,

TO THE MEMBERS
or the Republican Territorial Central
Committee.
News. Miner.

News. Miner.
We have just received a printed
slip, eminating from nowhere and
without date, purporting to call a
meeting of the Republican Territor-
ial Central Committee of Idaho, at
Caldwell, on the 10Th inst. This
purported call has the printed sigma
ture of M. Krebs, Secretary. Who
authorized Mr.. Krebs, or who Joins
with him in this purported call is not
stated. The business for which the
meeting is called was attended to by
the Committee at their meeting in
Shoshone' on the 3rd of September
las. Everything necessary for the
ensuing Convention was provided for,
save the time for holding the same,
which, by resolution unanimously
passed, the Chairman was authorized
to designate. There is no necessity
whatever for another meeting of the
Committee, and nothing to be altered
or changed, except it be the appor-
tionment for Shoshone county, which
by a large increase in population, is
undoubtedly entitled to a greater
number of delegates than was allotted,
This can and no doubt will be re-
medied by the Convention itself, al
lowing the delegation from Shoshone
county to cast the vote to which she
is justly entitled.
The call, as ordered by the Com.
mittee at its last meeting, is already
published. 1t has been in the hands
of Mr.. Krebs since February last,
and if it was not satisfactory he should
have made it known at an earlier date
The fact that the Committee is com.
prised of one or more members from
each County in the Territory, and
that it is almost impossible to get
them together, was what prompted
them at their last meeting to dispose
of the bushes. The attendance was
unusually large, and its action entire
Iy satisfactory. We are all of the
opinion that the purported call Of
Mr.. Krebs is not only unnecessary
but unauthorized, and hope that il
will be utterly ignored.

CHARLEY BLALoCK and Thos. Par
kinson arrived last Friday from Vel
low Pine district. They located two
claims--one near Sutherland & Gift
ford's cabin and another on the op-
posite side of the stream, which they
named Stony creek. This stream is
an east fork of the South Fork of
Salmon river, and is good-sized
creek. They report that there are
numerous bars along Stony creek,
and none of them prospected except
where Clifford & Sutherland worked
and the holes that they (Blalock and
Parkinson) sunk. The distance to
the gravel Is about four feet, and the
gravel seven feet deep. They obtain
ed what they consider good paying
prospects,. The gold is coarse. Some
of the bars are from a quarter of a
mile to over a mile in length, and
some half a mile wide. Nothing is
known yet of the extent of the paw
ground, but if all the bars will pay,
that will be a big placer camp.
These men saw no one in that district.
They started in to Yellow Pine from
Deadwood the day that Jonas Wal
lace, NJ. Nelson and others returned
to Deadwood from Yellow Pine.
They say that Wallace and party
stated that they worked six rockers
full of gravel taken from Sutherland
& Gifford's prospect hole and cleaned
up eighty cents. Wallace and par
ty did not like the looks of the coun-
try and didn't prospect any farther.
Blalock and Parkinson met the first
party that left this place on Lightning
Ridge, and the second party short
distance this side. They will go via
Deadwood. Blalock says that pros
pectors hunting for Yellow Pine, and
with the idea that it is a basin will
have hard time finding it.

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-In the case
of Alfred A. Coolidge sued for one
thousand misunderstanding suit by
attachment. He obtained judgment,
Murray then filed a declaration of
homestead and had it recorded.
Coolidge then issued execution, the
sheriff sold the land and this suit was
brought to get possession under sher-
ifs sale of deed. Murray's attorneys
took the position that the homestead
could be claimed at any time prior to
sale under execution, while Coole dge's
attorneys maintained that after at
tachment and judgmedt it was too
late to claim u homestead. Judge
Buck, in learned opinion, sustains
the views of Murray's attorneys, and
holds that homestead can be record
ed at any time before sale by the
sheriff, basing his opinion on the plain
letter of the act of legislature. This
is probably the most important case
ever before our courts. 1t effects
the interest of every citizen of our
Territory. The opinion is clearly in
conformity with the law Lewiston

KETCHUM KEYSTONE: Hon. G.. B.
Baldwin was in town during the
present week, bringing with him
samples of ore from his mine in Cape
Horn district, in the Sheep mountain
country. He reports the mining out
look very favorable, and has eight
men now at work on his mine-the
Baldwin-whIch is making a good
showing. A great deal of dead work
necessarily had to be done in cutting
trails, grading, ETC., so that the ore
could be packed down from the mine.
The returns made by the assayer on
the samples brought in by Mr.. Bald
win were as follows:
Lot 1877 ozs. silver and 40 per
cent. lead to the ton; lot 2-5S5 ozs.
and "a per cent. lead to the ton; lot
$3.50 ozs. and SO per cent. lead to
the ton; lot 4-119 ozs. silver, one
half OF. in gold, and "A per cent. lead
to the ton. The district is situated
between the Main and Middle Salmon
rivers, about sixty miles from Saw
tooth. Messrs. Pinkham & Comstock
on Tuesday sent out large quantity
of supplies for the camp, and Jesus
Urquide, the well known packer,
was given the contract to pack the
ore from the mine to Sawtooth, whence
it will be brought here.

SoME of our prohibition party friends, we
understand, we're grievously offended because
the NoRTHERNRB said, in commenting on the
disgraceful drunkenness of tho men whom
the present administration had sent to
Mexico as representatives of the government,
that if President CLEVELAND couldn't find
democrat who could drink the Mexican
greasers under the table, he had better
appoint ST.. JOHN or some other prohibition
list. Our critics claim that We intended to
convey the idea that ST.. JoHs was q drunk
ard, and that he could accomplish the feat
which SEDdvIcE and MANNING had each
attempted and failed to perform. Anybody
that could put such a construction on the
tho paragraph must have been exceedingly
anxious TO misconstrue its real intent and
purpose. The NoRTHRRNER believes Sr.
JOHN TO be fanatic and political demagogue,
and if no should ever again appear before the
people az candidate for political honors,
would not hesitate to criticise his political
record and 10 score as many points against
him as it might be able to do, but it would
not call him drunkard and never has init
mated such thing. So far az the NORTH
rRNER is informed Mr. Sr. JoHS's personal
habits are in full accord with his professions
on the temperance question, and it would be
nonsense and folly for it to assert to the con-
trary. Anybody should have been able TO
see with half AN eye that the intimation in
tended TO be conveyed in the paragraph that
was 30 offensive to our prohibition friends
was simply that having ANONYMOUSLY failed
TO secure democratic representative who
did not disgrace the government 10y reason
of disgusting drunkenness, the president had
better try a man whom everybody knew
would not subject the Nation to additional
shame in tho same direction.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that JAMES
MCMILLAN fearing his candidacy might ex-
cite sectional strife, has written letter
withdrawing from the canvass for the sena-
torship, the NoRTHEENER believes that he is
in every way worthy of the good words it
spoke in his favor last week. His withdraw
al only adds another laurel and shows that
he cares more for the harmony and prosper
lily of his party than for his own personal
advancement. His manly letter has placed
him still higher in the estimation and respect
of his fellow republicans and, should it be
necessary to seek a candidate outside of
those who are in the field, there is no man in
the state to whom the republicans would SO
naturally turn az to Mr.. MCMILLAN. His
letter of withdrawal, al sent TO the NORTH
ERNEn, will be found in another column.

The drift toward purely silver basis for
our currency, under the present system of
compulsory coinage, is plainly evidenced by
comparison of the imports and exports of
the precious metals for the fiscal years of
1885 and 1886. During the fiscal year end
ing June Both, 1885, we exported gold to
the amount of $3477,s92, while in 1856 we
exported $42,952,191, All increase of
s39,474 ,299. The imports of the same
metal were as follows: 1885, $29,G9l 500;
1886, 500, 1880, decrease of Ss,94S,356.
In 1885 the gold imported into this country
exceeded the amount exported by 500 ,S0i,
while in 1886 the exports were $22,209,S42
more than the imports. 1t would not take
long at this rate to drain the country of all
the gold it possesses.

open the doors and decreed that oil green
backs should go out at one door, and an I'M
restricted and unlimited volume of bank
currency might come in at the other"
The foregoing extract we clip from the Paw
Paw Herald. 1t was originally published in
the Chicago Express. Both these papers adj
vertise themselves as shining greenback
lights, and perhaps there may DO some people
who are foolish enough to be influenced by
such clap-trap as the above. A very cursory
examination will show how little the writer
knew of the subject about which he was
writing, or if he was familiar with his sub
ject, how little regard he had for thetruth.
The National banking system was estab-
lished in February, 1868, more than two
years before the close of the war. At that
time there had been issued but $300,OO0,OO0
of legal tender green6acks, nearly S47 100000
less than has been in circulation for the last
eight years $15O,OO0,O00 of these were
authorized by the act Of February, 1862
only one year prior to the establishment
of the National banking system, and
$150,0O0,000 by the act of July, 1862. In
March. 1863 after the establishment of the
National bank currency, an additional issue
of Sl50000,000 was authorized. The great
est amount OF legal tender currency was
reached i'll February, 1865, at which time
there was outstanding the sum of
S449,479,222. On the 31st day of August,
1865, there was in circulation Si32, 553,9l2
of greenbacks and S176,2l3,955 of National
bank currency. Under the various different
acts OF congress, the legal tenders were steadily
decreased, with some additions from 1873 TO
1876, until, on January LIST, 1879. the
amount outstanding was S3iG,GSl,Ol6, where
it has ever since remained and still remains,
the National bank currency having fluctuated
somewhat. but Mt the present time being
something like Sl5,OOO,OO0 less than the
amount OF greenbacks The decrease in
greenbacks from the highest point ever at
tanned has been just SOP, 798,20G.
re congress ever ordered their destruction
at the rate of Si00,000,000 per month, such
order must have been in force just about a

National currency come in at the other, the
decree is not executed. They don't go and

JUDGE JENNIsoN of the Wayne Circuit
Court, few days since, imposed fine upon
w. i. ATKINSON, a prominent Detroit attor-
ney, and sentenced him to the county Jail
for a period of ten days for contempt OF
court. The alleged contempt consisted, &C
cording to the newspaper reports, in Mr..
ATRMsoNs excepting 30 certain language
used by the court during the trial of cause
III which Mr.. ATKINSON WAS one of the attor-
neys. The language used IN taking the ok.
ception appears to have been hasty and,
possibly, a little disrespectful, but not such
az would justify the court in its subsequent
actions. After remaining over night in Jail,
a writ of hGJc1s c0rpVs was sued out before
Judge CHIPIAY of the Superior Court, for
MIR. Afternoons release. Pending the hearing
before Judge CEIPHAY, Judge JENNIsoN W.
Gated hs hasty order and Mr.. ATKINSON was
released Courts are necessarily vested with
great. and TO to some extent with arbitrary
power, but judge is not quito equal to the
ruler of an absolute monarchy and docs not
possess unlimited power over the liberty of
American citizens. There appears TO De
little doubt that the action OF Judge JYNHI-
son was uuvarranted, illegal and arbitrary
The Judge himself appears 10 have realized
that he had stepped beyond the bounds, as
he caused the order of release to be entered
while the matter was pending before another
court and while Nix. ATKINSON was still
insisting that his actions were iustiiabe and
right and, consequently, that the acts of the
court were wrong.

UTTERLY DISCOURAGED

expresses the feeling OF many victims of
rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica. and ner-
vous or sick headache. Having tried
numberless so-called remedies, and physi-
clans of all schools, without relief there
seems TO be no hope. Many such have as
a last resort tried Athlophoros, and TO their
surprise and joy have found that il was a
safe, sure and quick cure. Athlophoros is not
an experiment; thousands have been cured
by its use and they testify as to its value.
William Blair, train dispatcher of the

almost a constant sufferer from neuralgia,
many times uniting me for my business
duties as well as making life burden.
The strain on my nerves was so great that
| nearly lost the use of one of my eyes.
l was suffering very much, and had never
succeeded in getting anything that would
give me but temporary relief, and that was
of very short duration. The first bottle of
Athlophoros made very decided change,
in fact had some relief from few doses.

ing my use of this medicine that my neu-
ralgia would come on during my business
hours, and by having the medicine close
at hand a dose or two would drive the
neuralgia away. For neuralgia Athlo-
phoros is undoubtedly the best medicine,
and | think | ought to know, as / have
during the many years that have suffered
had occasion to try about every thing in
the line of medicines for this complaint"
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., 1l2 Wall ST., New York, will
