For tho Eagllsh Markets.

For tho EoGlloh Marietta
The London and Liverpool ivory
sales have just been concluded. An
interesting feature Of the London sales
was the offer of six tons of what was
termed ..Stanley's ivory" It was ths
FIRST lot of ivory sent by Mr.. H. II
Stanley from the Congo. 1t was for
warded to the Belgian Government
from whence it came to London. The
quality and weight were very good.
One parcel of 400 pounds. knocked
down to Rodgers & Sons. the Sheffield
cutlery manufacturers, averaged about
three teeth to the 100 pounds. Ivory
is now SO freely used for SO many pur.
poses that there Is some peril Of tho
elephant being exterminated. Messra
Rodgers consumption is twenty-five
tons per annum, and includes Gaboon,
Angola and Niger. East Indian, Cape
and Egyptian. The large tusks weigh
from SO pounds to 100 pounds each;
middle, from Is pounds to so pounds
each, and small. from pounds to 10
pounds. The firms average weights
are IS pounds. Twenty-Five tons con-
tain l,6OO tusks of IS pounds each, and
as each elephant provides only one
pair. it follows that ut least 800 ele-
plants per annum must suffer from
Rodgers & Sons alone in their cutlery
and other productions.
Very little Egyptian ivory has re-
Gently come to hand. The Cairo mer-
chants buried their treasures during
the Soudan war to keep them out Of
the Mahdi's hands, and even now they
are reluctant to send to market
What is sent is the result Of
boarding, not hunting. Egypt
ian ivory, which is mainly sold
in London, is largely used y
cutlery manufacturers and other Shelf
field industries. as well as by piano.
forte makers for keys. The paucity Of
Egyptian is largely compensated for by
the increased weight of West Coast
African. which is growing in favor To-
hating the higher classes of table e.
lery.
The ivory dealers of Africa are very
good hands at obtaining full value for
their goods; and some of the Sheffield
firms find that they are not novices in
fraudulent trading. They can load
ivory quite as cleverly as Lancashire
can load cottons. BY pouring lead in
to the cavity of the tusk the weight is
greatly increased, and there is no
possibility of discovering the deception
until the ivory has passed through vari-
Gus hands to the cutlery or other manu-
facturer. Then the workman finds the
saw grind against the lead. sometimes
swapping the steel teeth. One ehef-
field firm recently found lead embedded
in several elephants tusks. from eight
pounds to twelve pounds weight in
each. As ivory is worth three dollars
per pound, there is profit in selling
lead at that price.
At London the prices of soft Indian
and Eastern African tusk, soft Egypt
ian, Cape and West Coast African were
dearer; but in the opinion Of practical
brokers, ivory has not much altered for
fifteen years, for while some qualities
are now of greater value others have
got cheaper.-London Times.

REGISTRATION.

Judge Beatty says it was the in
tention OF the registration Jaw to
give registrars a good deal of lati-
tude in the examination of appli-
cants. The Judge thinks the law
is explicit enough on this point
and that it will sustain them in re-
jecting known polygamists. There
can be little doubt of that; but the
question does not seem to arise on
that proposition. What the regis
trar may know a man to have been
and what that man processes to be
upon making application may show
a change in the condition of that
mans faith. Has the registrar the
right to reject an applicant who de-
nounces all practices in conflict
with the test oath and shows a pres
ent intention of conforming to the
principles of loyal citizenship?
Some of the Mormons may take this
method of declaring their altered
views on the question of polygamy
and the unlawful institutions of the
church, and a question may arise
here as to the right or advisabilit,
to refuse them ON the lart of regis
trars. He must have proof of then
illegal practices before he can, un-
der the laws protection, deny then,
the privilege of registration; and
when he is satisfied on that point
he should "soc ct tn um."

CUSTER COUNTY DEMOCRACY.

The democracy of Custer county
assembled in convention at Challis,
the county seat, on the 10th inst.
We congratulate the democrats Of
our sister county on the harmony
that prevailed and the good work
that they performed on that day
We note with pleasure the nomina-
ton of Cal. c. Clawson, an old war
horse of these regions, for the terri
torial assembly, and that of R. A.
Pierce, founder of the Challis Mes
senger, for district attorney. The
democrats of Custer county showed
that they were generous, unbiased
and appreciative of merit by choos-
ing three Of the republican NOM
inees, viz: F.. J. Clyde, for audi
tor and recorder; James Burns,
for probate judge, and A. J. Crook,
for county commissioner. All Of
them are citizens of unquestionable
integrity and devotion to the best
interests of the people. Custer
county democrats, true to the first
principles of mining people,
choose men rather than politics to
govern their local affairs, and we
don't know but that they are on
the right road. Their platform is
sound, forcible utterance of the
principles, first, of democracy, and
second, the mining fraternity. 1t
is brief but pointed, covering the
ground we'll and embodies in a few
patriotic lines every question that
is vital to the country. We repro

DFNOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

JOHN NJ. CANNADY, the democratic
nominee for Auditor and recorder
of Alturas county, is gentleman
whose character and qualifications
have undergone the test of long
residence on this River and an
incumbency of four years duration
in that Office. His management Of
the county records and affairs per-
tanning to his Office has been intel
ligent, systematic and scrupulous
in every detail. Mr.. Cannady's
course in the selection of office en-
ployees shows that he is unbiased
and appreciative of true merit, re-
CARELESS Of politics, and should be
applauded by every impartial voter,
whether democrat or republican, as
subscribing the best interests of all
tie people rather than any party or
faction. Mr.. Cannady is staunch
democrat, but not a marrow con-
tracted" one, and he may be de-
pended upon to serve the public
well if elected.
