IT is SAID THAT IN AN INTERVIEW LAST
Saturday Governor Beaver remarked that
in case Mr.. Blaine should be candidate
he would get the solid Pennsylvania delega-
ton. Of course, this information is not
surprising; M. Stanley Quay prepared the
public mind for that few weeks since,
when he said Blaine could have the nomin-
alton If he wanted it. OF course, Pennsyl-
vania is solid for protection and has no
cause to kick against the magnetic knight
from the coast of Maine.

TIE Salt Lake Herald says Ii
s'the Republican party is the friend
of labor" as its orators and news
papers claim, why is it that that
party abolished the income tax,
which fell upon the rich and not
upon the laboring man +? Why did
it abolish the tax on railroads. the
tax on bank deposits and other tax
es of similar nature !? Was it be-
cause the working people paid these
taxes, being the owners of the rail-
roads, having the bank deposits
and getting money incomes from
their investments ? The history OF
the Republican party is that it has
relieved the rich from taxation as
fast and as much as possible, but
the taxes on the necessaries of life,
on the WOODEN goods, the sugar, the
lumber, the salt, which the poor
must have, are retained, and the
party would now increase some of
these taxes. The friendship OF Re-
publicans for the laborers is some
thing of which the former should
not boast above whisper.

Globe-Democrat: Four years ago, the
Democrats declared in their national
platform and in all their stump speeches
that change of administration was
necessary because the Republicans had
collected surplus of 800, 100000 from
the oppressed and suffering taxpayers of
the country. But the surplus is now
considerably larger than that, notwith-
standing the fact that the government
has been under Democratic control ever
since the 4th of March, 1885. May it
not be fairly commended, therefore, that
another change is necessary for the
same reason? This is likely to be one of
the leading questions of the campaign;
and the people will not failto hold the
Democratic party to strict account for
its failure to redeem the pledge upon
which it mainly obtained the power
which it now enjoys.

But little has been said in the public
prints, as far as we have seen, concern
ing the approaching state election in

eral Nichols by the Democrats. After
his defeat for the nomination ex- Govern
or McEnery pledged himself to see to it
that at the election, which takes place
April Il, there would be a full vote and
fair count. This is all that is needed to
give the state to the Republicans. partic-
ularly since the Democrats have placed
themselves in direct antagoniSm to the
chief interest state, l. e.. favoring the
abolition of the protection now afforded
the sugar industry. If McEnerv shall be
able to keep his pledge there is little
doubt that Ex-Governor Yarmouth will
be elected.

SCOTT SCINTILLATIONS.

SCOTT CITY, Kan, March Is.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
According to the Pence City Phono-
graph considerable excitement prevails
tn ereabouts in regard to the gold find
on the farm of Jonah Harris, Scott
county farmer. The mineral was sent
to an assayer in Illinois, and he pro-
nounced it gold in paying quantities.
Gold is not usually found in geological
formations like those in this state. But
Kansas is such state of surprises that
we wouldn't be surprised to hear of
some one finding diamonds.
A Mr.. Knodle, living south of Scott
City, while digging well last week
struck the remains of a maStodon. He
now has the teeth and some of the
bones on exhibition. Scott county is a
rich field for the geologist. In digging
wells bouldierS and pebbles washed from
many different geological formations
may be found. Also many fossil shells
and plants may be found among the
limestone and other rocks. In the
canons along the Beaver and Salt creek,
petritications and fossils abound.

The effects Of the recent storm in the
east upon life and property was exceeded
in extent only, and that but little, by the
fearful billiards Of the northwest during
the winter. When it is cold enough to
freeze to death robust men on the streets
of New York city and form ice on the
rivers there sufficient to bear the traffic
that is usually carried by steamer, Da-
kota billiards lose part of their terror to
the Imagination of the habitues of this
equable latitude. Besides the losses of
human lives, business along the Atlantic
seaboard the entire length north from
Baltimore was paralyzed and has not
fully recovered yet. On the whole the
storm and cold was the severest known
in that quarter for many years.
