Judge Hiram Barber died at his home
in Horizon on Tuesday last, and was
buried 10 the Juneau cemetery on Friday.
The deceased, who was born in April,
1900, in Washington county. N. Y. was
one of the first settlers of Dodge county,
where he came in the spring of 1874 and
entered a large tract of land east of this
place, bordering on Rock river. He also
purchased at an early date the land on
which this city stands and laid out the
village plat, then called Dodge Ceuter.
With the exception of couple of years
spent in California, be has been resident
of Dodge county since that time, and was
a member of the first constitutional con-
vention of the state and of one of the
early legislative assemblies. As man of
unusual intellectual power. extensive
reading aud a most remarkable memory,
it was always pleasure to listen to his
conversation, and of late years he was e>-
pecially fond of telling about early times
in this county. He built the first court
house, the Juneau house and several
dwelling houses here. OF late years his
health had given way, and he spent his
time quietly at his home in Horizon with
two of his daughters, Mrs. Billinghurst
and Mrs. Ehle. That he was compara-
lively unknown to the present generation
was seen in the small company that at
tended the funeral services, most Of those
present being men and women of older
years.
Hon. F. w. Heughton spoke to we'll
filed house of Republicans and Democrats
op Monday evening, and made many con-
verts to protection by his able and logical
argument The audience was larger than
any brought out by any Democratic
speaker here this fall, and when they
separated three rousing cheers were given
FOR Harrison and Morton.
Hon. Richard Guenther will speak at
the court house in Juneau on Friday
evening. A large meeting is expected.
To Judge from the mean insinuatiens
and contemptible lies that are being cir
culated by the "ring" organs and their
assistants against private individuals, ii
is evident that the "-ing' is pretty badly
scared in regard to the political prospects
in this county.
Mrs. Harriet L. Lewis, an early resident
of this locality. lies seriously i'll at her
residence in this city, with but slight
hopes of recovery.
Hon. Richard Guenther, NJ. g., will
speak at Woodland, in this county, on
Friday afternoon next.
The political outlook in this county is
very encouraging to the friends of the
Taxpayers ticket, which appears to be
reasonably certain of being elected, and
| it is also evident that there will be 9
heavy decrease in the usual Democratic
majority on the National ticket, while E
C. McFetridge fur congress- will give his
Democratic opponaat close run. w

PLATFORm AND RESOLUTIONS.
Adopted at the Democratic state
Convention in Virginia City,
Nevada, May II, 1888.

The Democratic party of the State Of Neva-
da, in Convention assembled, reaffiruns its de-
votion to the Federal Union, and to the Con-
stitution of the United States and its amend
ments. and hereby readopts the principles of
constitutional government promulgated by
the Democratic National Convention of 1884
and affirmed by the people in the election of
Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks,
President and Vice-President of the United
States.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND INDoRsED.
We congratulate the country upon the sue
cessful administration OF President Cleve-
land.
He has maintained the peace and dignity of
the nation; has upheld Public Credit; has re-
duee public expenses; has restored millions
of acres TO the public domain and has impair
TALLY enforced the laws throughout the length
and breadth of the land.
Under his wise and benefcent administra.
ton the whole country Is enjoying remarkable
prosperity and all sectional feeling has been
obliterated.
Z. The Democracy Of Nevada recommend hi
denomination, and invite all liberal-minded
men, irrespective of past party predictions,

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
We fully opprove of the efforts of the Demo-
cratic Representatives in Congress- to perform
the pledge made by the last National Demo-
cratic Convention to reform and remove taxes,
to the end that the labor of the country be re-
lieved Of onerous and unnecessary burdens.
We denounce the present tariff system, which
creates an annual surplus of S155 OOO, 900 in the
National Treasury, by taxing the every day
necessities of our farmers, miners and labor
ers for the benefit of protected Eastern manu-
facturers - for every dollar that goes into the
Treasury, and which does not protect the la
bofer. We declare that taxation should be
limited to the requirements of governments,
and that the burden of taxation should rest
upon those who use luxuries rather than upon
those who use only the necessarics of life.
PREH COINAGE OF SILVER ADVOCATED.
We favor the free coinage of silver now en-
joyed by gold, or, in lieu thereof, the right of
deposit in all of tho Mints Of gold and silver
bul ion, for which certificates shall bo issued
payable in coin in the same manner that Unit
. ed States notes are now payable; said certjh-

TALKING ARBITRATION AGAIN.

MT. Arthur Will Revisit the Burlington Management-A Big Assessment.
 CHICAGO, April Publications are now oc- curing in the ranks of the Burlington strik- ers and fifty of the old engineers have gone back to work. It looks now as though the men will not wait for the strike to be de- clared off. but will proceed to find employ ment for themselves wherever they can, even on the boycotted road. According to the constitution of the Brotherhood strike can not be declared off inside of six months un- less every member of the grievance com mittee gives bis consent In this case it is impossible to get the consent of the members of the Burlington grievance committee.
 MT. Arthur is expected tomorrow, and it is probable he and Manager Jeffrey, of the Illinois Central, will go and see the Burling- ton people. A final attemptito adjust mat ters will then be made, and it is said that Mr. Jeffrey has hopes that some sort of a com- promise can be arrived at.
 An assessment of $5 upon each of the 40, ,OOO engineers and firemen belonging to the Brotherhood throughout the country is to be made this week to meet the expenses of main taining the idle strikers. This sum of $2OO,- 900 will not last very long, for the full wages of the strikers to be paid, and over $1OO,- GOO of it will go toward paying the engineers whose wages average over $1OO per month. About $65, ,00O will be required to meet the wants of the firemen
