Messrs Il. Sheridan 4 Son arrived in
the city the first of the week, and are
making the necessary preparations TO
begin active mining operations on the
Sheridan mine. Reporter.
The sale of the Junietta mine has not
yet been consurhmatcd and the manage
ment has nothing TO say regarding the
affair, but from IAN outside view IL would
seem that things win reach "A crisis before

The main shaft mt the Volunteer mine
is now down fifty feet from the bottom
ofwhich IA cross-cut was forty eight
feet, showing large quantity 81 ore.
The main work now being done Is test
pitting and the work is OF very encour-
aging nature.
Rumor has il that the Iron River mine
mt Stambaugh, Iron River district, is
soon TO resume work. Operations were
discontinued hate last fall The mine ia
a heavy producer and ID is sincerely
hoped that the rumor il not entirely
without foundation.

The Democratic party is as free
from any suspicion Of free trade as

to this doctrine. We intend to wipe

Carnegie come to understand this
the better it will be for them. We
want tariff for revenue only. This
is the Democratic doctrine, aud
every newspaper that tries to dodge
this truth does our party harm. We
must make a square, bold, honest

There is at least one Republican
orator who will never run away
from the free whisky" clause in the
Chicago platform. Il don't believe"
said Col. Ingersoll at the meeting in
the Metropolitan Opera House, that
if the Mississippi itself were pure
whisky, and the banks loaf sugar,
and all the flats covered with mint,
and all the bushes grew teaspoons
and tumblers, there would he more
drunkenness than there is now" He
went on to say that in his opinion
che man who drinks whisky instead
of champagne, "who is willing to
take the domestic article" should
be permitted to have his whisky
free Of tax.

THE BENCH.

The Republicans held a primary
in Preston County on the Both and
gave Judge J. 7. Hoke the vote OF
that county in the Convention which
will nominate the Republican candi-
date for circuit judge.
We are surprised and dishearten-
ed when thoughtful citizens permit
politicians to make this office foot
ball of partisan contention. In Sc
lecting a judge the people should
vote regardless of party. The day
will surely come when those now aid
ing to mix the ermine in the broils
of pot house politics will repent their
folly. Judge Ice, as we understand,
gave entire satisfaction: he wos i'm
partial, competent and faithful to
duty;-he is to be set aside for no
reason except that his enlightened
convictions make him Democrat
while majority in his District are
Republicans. Are the decisions of
judge to be governed by his party
affiliations ? Do the PEOPLE want on
the bench a man who will admins
ter justice regardless Of conse-
quences, or do they want u man who
feels himself under obligation to GER
tain managers of machine politics !?
Let thoughtful citizens ponder upon
this matter before it is too late. For
tunately in this instance no harm
will result except that of setting a
bad precedent. Mr.. Hoke has le-
gal mind and is entirely qualified
for the office he voted right IN the
Legislature every time and has prov
ed himself to be man who does not
betray duty. The point we make
is, that in electing a judge voters
should disregard party lines. five
make this political Office, the time
is near at hand when a man like
Hoke cannot obtain the nomina-
ton.

At the recent mass meeting in
New York to ratify Harrison's nomi-
nation, Mr. Robt. G. Ingersoll said
that he wanted to see this country
SO Independent of ell others that a
blockade of our shores in war would
not interfere with our prosperity.
For this purpose he would keep up
duty Of l03 per cent. on all "struc
tural shapes of iron or steel" in or
der that the ''trusH that controls
this trade in the United States may
make a corresponding profit, and
then lock out their workmen to COM
pei them to accept reduction OF
wages. 1t may strike the workmen
that this is kind of prosperity"
that ought not to be encouraged by
law, whether in war or in peace.
