HARRISON AS A TEMPER.
RETURN OF DIRECT TAXES HELD
UP AS A BRIDE.

Indiana Would Come in for S l 600, 900
If the Bill Became a Law-The Fall
ure of the Bill Laid Upon the Con-
gressmen from the South.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 90 In speech de-
livered to delegation which visited him
to-day, Gen. Harrison said:
have recently been talking, and have one
thing furt er to say about the surplus. Cries
OF Good, good, " and That's what we
want to hear about " There is a very proper
use, think that can be made of more than
S0,oOO,OOO OF it. During the civil war, our Gus
tom receipts and our receipts from internal
taxes, which last had brought under tribute
almost every pursuit in life, were inadequate to
the great drain upon our treasury caused by
the civil war. Our congress, exercising one OF
the powers OF the constitution, levied a direct
tax upon the states. Ohio paid her part of it, In
diana paid hers, and so did other loyal states.
NONE FROM THE SOUTH.
The southern states were in rebellion and did
not pay theirs. Now we have come to the time
when the government has surplus money, and
proposition was made in Congress to return this
tax to the states that had paid. Applause
The state of Indiana would have received ST.
100000, which my fellow citizens of the state
know would have been great relief to our
taxpayers in the present depleted condition of
our treasury. Cheers. / do not recall the exact
amount Ohio would have received, but 1t was
much larger,
WHY 1T SHOULD BE REPAID.
il any one asks, Why repay this tax? this
Illustration will be sufficient answer: Suppose
five men are associated in business. The cofpo-
ration suffers losses and its capital is impaired.
An assessment becomes necessary, and three
members pay their assessments while two do
not. The corporation is again prosperous, and
there is surplus money in the treasury. What
shall be done with it? Manfestly justice re-
Quires that the two delinquents should pay up
or that there should be returned to the other
three the assessment levied upon them. lGreat

FINDING A HIDDEN MINE.
The Wealth Which a Miner Concealed
Before He Died.
From The Netc York Times.

From the Neto York Times.
HELENA, Mont, Sept. 20.-On the sum-
nit of Old Bald Mountain. some thirteen or
fourteen years ago, Frenchman named
Gohnne and his son jim, a lad of 10, sunk a
shaft 70 feet deep. He was a queer old
fellow and many strange tales are related of
him. One of them is about the marvellous
amount of riches which the old man ex-
tracted from this wonderful shaft among
the clouds
1t is said that some of the rock he found
was so rich in gold that he cached it, taking
this precaution in order that no one might
be able to know the richness of his treasure
hold, which could not he concealed if the
specimens were exhibited or kept in public
places. He worked away steadily and
quietly for more than year, and, it is be-
lieved, accumulated nice little fortune.
He was not molested, the impression pre-
valling among the miners that he was
laboring under harmless delusion in vast
ing his time in this bleak and out-of-the-
way place. Nobody dreamed that he was
taking out more than enough pay rock to
give him sustenance. One day, while
working at the bottom of the shaft, the
rope broke while the bucket loaded with its
rich freight was being hoisted by the boy,
and, descending, crushed the life out of the
old man. Jim removed the body, and the
miners buried it without having any knowl-
edge of the actual circumstances.
1t seems the old man had kept concealed
the hiding place of the treasure, and Jim,
after the burial, searched for it for months.
but without success. He went away sorely
disappointed, after filling in the shaft so
that it had the appearance of an abandoned
and worthless property, and he and the old
man were soon forgotten. Jim returned re-
Gently to the vicinity and related the story
to an old friend, and the two have been
working ever since, both day and night,
hoping to be rewarded by finding the cache
Last Saturday three other miners were
taken into the scheme, and this afternoon
their labors were rewarded, a large guam
tity of gold having been discovered. The
find has been placed in the hands of an ex-
pert who will report i'll few days Should
the gold turn out all right it is thought that
another gold excitement will be the out
come, as number of other mines were re-

AFTER TWENTY YEARS,
Sister Recognizes Her Long-Lost
Brother in New York.


From the Ne,U York World.
Twenty-three years ago the McClearn
family-father, mother, three boys and two
girls-came to America from Edinburgh
and settled in Scranton, Pa, where a
brother of the head of the household had
amassed wealth. On Monday morning,
twenty years ago, Rebecca, one of the
daughters, fitted out Jamie, the youngest of
the family, for school. He was years old,
and disappeared as completely as Charley
Ross.
The McClearns finally drifted to New
York and went to live en- Tenth street.
There Mrs. McClearn died about seven
years ago. One of the sons married and is
living with his wife and family at No. 26
Monroe street. Rebecca married man
uamed William Jameson, who keeps
restaurant at No. u Catharine street and
lives at No. LAG Madison street.
Saturday night five weeks ago Rebecca
saw a stout, well-built young man pass
There was something so strangely familiar
about his face, figure and gait that she
trembled and nearly tainted. A few seconds
only elapsed when she thought:
my brother Jamie. 1t can't be possible"
She called waiter and told him: Hurry,
quick. Catch that man and ask him what
his name is"
The waiter did so, but he was not quick
enough. The stranger boarded an Avenue
B car and disappeared.
Mrs. Jameson last Saturday night saw
the same man passing her place again.
This time he was overtaken, questioned
and found to be, as her sisterly intuition
had surmised, her long-lost brother. Sin
cere were the rejoicngs over the discovery
among the members Of the family.
From his recital it appears that he ran
away on a sudden impulse, and contrived
to steal passage on trains to New York.
He wandered about, became newsboy,
street peddler, and finally got position in
a dry goods house. He had made money
and lost it again. Atpresent he is harness.
maker for the Belt Line Railroad Company,
and lives with his wife and two children at
No. 220 Avenue B.

Jute on the Florida Islands.

CEDAR KEYS, FLA, Sept 26.-On the
islands of the gulf coast, on the west coast
of Florida, grows plant which is said to
be identically jute. A gentleman from
New York, VINO visited this place last year,
called attention to it, and said it was the
very same jute plant about which so much
fuss was made in Scotland few years ago
If this is so, the jute trouble can be quickly
ended. All these islands can be readily Gull
tivated to this plant, and the south be made
to furnish her own cotton covering indie
pendent of import duties or trusts. To any
one who will enclose address and postage,
James o. Andrews, secretary of the board
of trade. will send by mail specimen of
the plant for investigation.
