man.
Last evening a special train pulling the

private cars as others denominate it, OF
General Superintendent Ed. Dickinson OF

Annette, Manager of the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone Co. During b eevening The
MINER met Mr.. Dickinson and held a brief
conversation with the very busy gentleman
which was about as follows, the questions
being asked by THE MINER and answered
promptly by Mr.. Dickinson:
Where are you from and where are you
going?
: We left Omaha two weeks ago and have
been on the road ever since. We are imme-
diately from Salt Lake; will leave in the
morning for Anaconda, then go to Poca-
tello and then take a trip over the Short
line, then home.
Is there any very special object in your
trip?
No. 1t is OF the usual character and has
no special significance.
Does the selection of Gen. Carr on the di-
rectory mean that he will succeed Mr.. Pot
ter as manager?
By no g Mr.. Carr was the private
secretary of Mr.. Ames or Mr.. Adams. He
is not q railroad man.. Besides his ap-
pointment is only Of g. temporary char
acter.
Whom do you think will be the success
SORT.
do not know, but many OF us hope ii
will be Mr.. Kimball.
Does the company intend to do any rail.
road building in Montana this year?
That is hard to tell. There is considera.
Bile it would like to do, but il all depends
upon congressional legislation. II that be
favorable the company will undoubtedly
do some building.
Do you think the Unien Pacific will meet
the rates to Butte which MI. McCaig. of the
Northern Pacific his company
have already done, to take effect May Is.
That is, the same rate as has been made
for Helena?
I have not eeen the rates. This is the
first i have heard OF the matter.
A copy of the reduced rates was shown
the gentleman, which he read carefully and
continued: This is news to me. ! am or

THE
Only Two Days More in Which to Get Your
Names ON the Books.

The voters of Butte do not seem to real
ize that an important election is soon to
take place and that no one will be allowed
to vote unless he shall have been recorded
on the registration books for this year. A
previous registration will not go. The reg.
~istsring officer has been at his post for the
past eight days, morning and evening, up
to $50 o'clock, and yet the books show far
less names than they should. This is cul-
pable negligence, and the result will be that
when the books close Friday evening there
will be many who will find themselves left.
as a matter of fact. bad the City Attorney
80 willed he could have closed the books
tonight, as the law says they shall be kept
open for ten days from the commencement
OF the registration, but in order that all
may have an opportunity, Mr.. Speer has
decided that Sunday is not illegal day, and
has added Friday. To-day and tomorrow
will be the last days on which you can reg
lister. Voters should make a note OF this
and act accordingly.

this morning.
Andrew Mullin, who was in iail for the
theft OF some optical instruments from DIR.

and the prisoner vas remanded to the Gus

VIM. Keefe, accused OF two crimes, bur-
glary and assault and battery with intent
to kill, was only indicted for the latter, the
evidence not being sufficient to justify his
indictment in the former. AS the prisoner

The same Old Lie

A few weeks ago the Jackson
Standard Journal, published q
statment which in speaking of q
small Village in Gallia County
bearing the name of the DEM
ocratic candidate for Vice Presid-
ent, says "There is not democrat
In Thurman Ohio" In the last
issue of the Jackson Herald, Capt.
James Grafton, one of the truest
Democrats and best citizens of
Gallia County, and a resident of
Thurman, gives the names of the
following Democrats, who reside in
Thurman, and who "are not afraid
to show their colors:" Capt. j.
Grafton, Lieutenant Josh Ruff, j. s.
Thomas, r. j. Williams, j. ID.
Jones, ID. J. Edwards, Foster Dun,
Ed S. Jones, Thomas Il. Jones,
James Jones, Thomas l.. Richards
and Anderson Perdu. The Captain
closes his article in the Herald as
follows:
"The first seven shouldered their
muskets; yet these seven are call
ed by the stay at home Republi-
cans, Rebels. And we know of
five persons who get their mail at
Thurman, and who have not voted
for Democrat yet, but will vote
for Cleveland and Thurman. Our
country is safe in Cleveland and
Thurman,s hands,"
The Republican party leaders
and newspapers have always been
renowned as liars, but in the ex-
trcme darkness which encompass
their prospects in this campaign
they, to vary a common expression
are out develing the devil.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1888-09-01
We quote tho following from the
annual reports of the Secretary of
State for the years named:

We call attention of the Republi-
can, and all whom it may concern
to the fact that whereas in 1867,
before the tariff Of 1867 went into
operation, the number of sheep in
Ohio that year was 7,555,507 and
that ten years afterwards (1S77,)
under the now glorified wool tariff
of 1S67,the number of sheep in
Ohio was only 3,724,0 ,04O, reduction
OF 1881, ,467, more than one half in
those ten years, and that from
1870 to 1883, a period Of thirteen
years, the annual sheep produc-
ton of Ohio was not five million
In 1888 it reached 5,130,92O, and
that is.the only time after 1S7o-17
years--that it did reach five mill
ion, while in 1865 it was over six
million and over seven million in
each of the years 1866. 1867 and
1868. From that date, under the
wool tariff of 1867, there was de-
decline-to six million in 1869: five
million in 1S7O;then four million
for each of the years of 1871, 1872,
1878, 1874, 1875; then down to
someteing over three million in
1876, 1877,1S7S; then it rallied
little and was trifie over four
million in 1879, 1880, 1881 and 1882.
Then it touched five million in
1888 and again declined to little
below five million for each of the
years up to the present time.
What we want to know is, why
the annual sheep production of
Ohio fell off one-half in 1877 of
what it was in 1867, and why after
1s6s-in thirteen years, with an
increase of population from 1865,
26O in 1870 to 3,19S.062 in 1SSO--it
never reached the high water
mark of 1856, 1867 and 1868, Can
the Republican; or any other Re
publican sheep bleater in Ohio, in
form the public why this is so?
Wool in the Wooster market on
the 10th of January, 1866, more
than year before the wool tariff
of 1867 was enacted, was quoted at
60 to IS cents per pound. Under
the tariff of 1867, it was quoted at
25 to 80 cents per pound on the 3Oth
of April, 1879, in the Wooster
market. There must be something
else than tariff that regulates the
price of wool,

The Surplus Again.

Harvey Fisk & Sons the heavy
N. Y. City Bankers are out in a cir
cular under date of Aug. 90, in
which they state that the unneed-
ed surplus i'm the U. s. Treasury,
July 81, 1888 was $132,517,751. .55.
This, says the Bankers is q great
and standing menace to the busi-
ness interests of the whole country.
So iminent do they consider the
peril in view of the moving of the
immense crops Of the year, that
they advise the immediate pur-
chase of Bonds by the Govern
ment, to the full extent of the sur
plus, thus at once relieving the
Treasury and putting the money
into active circulation. Fisk 81
Sons give the further information
that government AZ can be had
for 130 to 1881 so that should the
Secretary eXpend this 132,00O,OOO
in bonds it would favor the bank
ing interest of the country to the
extent of at least $30,0O0,00O, to
"take this Great Peril, and menace
to every interest Of the country
out of the calculation of business
The foregoing is a plain business
statement of that condition Of our
governmental finances, and the
"Hole" into which the people are
being crowded by the obstruction
tactics of the Republicans in Con-
gress.
Whenever the Democrats at
tempt to stop the accumulation of
this "Menace to every interest OF
the country" the Republican repre-
sentatives have obstructed and the
Republican Senate has defeated
the measure, and all at the com.
mand of and in the interest of the
Monopolies and Trusts which have
originated and grown up under
the protecting arm of high tariff.
Let the people rise in their own
interest and put an end to the poll
tical lives of such unfaithful SER
wants and to the Trusts and Pools
at one blow of the ballot.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1888-09-01

THERE is no duty on cotton, and
the cotton planter of the South is
compelled to compete with the
worse than pauper labor of China
and Egypt in raising this staple.
Yet he has absolute control of the
home market and supplies the
bulk of the worlds demand. A
tax on raw cotton could not bene-
fit the planter, but it could give OPP
portunity to spectators to COM
bine and rob the people of the
country and to infiict serious in
jury to the cotton manufacturing
interests. The tax on wool works
exactly in line with this, only
worse, because we have to import
nearly half the wool consumed by
the country. The wool-grower
gets a lower price for his staple
than under low tariff, the wool
manufacturer runs on short time
and pays "pauper wages" to his
opeators, the government get big
sum of money it has no use for,
there is no outside market for
American woolen goods, and every
laboring man in the country has to
pay high price for his clothes and
make one do the service two

Big Meetings

The present political Canvass is
is the first in many yeaas in which
vital principal of governmental
policy is before the people, and all
should study the doctrines as an
nounced by the parties. The
easiest and quickest way is by
speeches, and addresses. We are
impressed that it would be a good
plan for each locality to select a
time and place for holding II
Basket Meeting which can be at
tended by men, women and chill
dren where the day can be spent
in discussion and social converse.
Surely considering the impor-
tance of interests at stake the time
would be well spent. Our COM

able speakers for such oc casions.

County Organization

Saturday night last meetings
were held and Democratic Clubs
organized at Millville, Laurelville,
Gibisonville, nesboro, Haynes and
Carbon Hill. The meetings at
South Perry and Gore did not take
place for the reason that religious
services were in progress in said
places and it was thought best to
postpone the organization till an
other time. The meeting at Murray
City was omitted because of the
sickness of Mr.. Buerhaus. The
best of feeling is reported among
the Democrats, and there are no
kickers, but on the contrary the
enthusiasm for Cleveland, Thur
man and Tariff Reform is intense.

Wool and the Tariff

Republican politicians an journ-
alists just now are parading the
fact that there has been decrease
in the number of sheep in Ohio of
5,72s sheep during the last year,
and charging the said decrease as
well as the low price of wool to the
agitation of the Mills Bill. In an
swer to such a charge our old and
esteemed contemporary, E. b,
Eshelman, of the Wayne Co. Dem
ocrat presents the following fig
ures and argument thereon, which
are true in every particular, in
answer to the following from
the Republican.
The Evident Purpose of the
Democrats.
The Returns received by the
State Auditor from all the countie s
of Ohio show that while there were
4,1O5,l77 sheep in the State last
year, there are only 3,739,446 this
year, a decrease of 365,728 iu one
year, The evident purpose of tho
Democrats to place wool on the
free list and the repeated refusal
of that party in Congress to restore
the wool tariff of 1874, as demand
ed by the wool growers of the
country, along with the agitation
of the question duriug the pending
of the Mills bill in the National
House has been the cause of this
falling off in the number of sheep
raised and the depreciation in the
price paid the farmers for their
WOOL Wooster Republican
Now for some additional sheep
statistics. We quote from the an
nual report of Secretary Of State
of Ohio for 1869, Isaac II. Sherwood,
Secretary of State. In 1867 such a
tariff was put on wool as appears
to be now considered to have been
satisfactory. Under the head
"Sheep," on page l6l, II is stated
