SETH KINMAN,s CHAIRS.
A Scout Who Has Presented One t,
 Every President Since Buchanan.

A Scout Who Has Presented One to
 Every President Since Buchanan.
 From the Denver NewsI
 A travelling man who recently visited the old western scout, Seth Kinman, tells many interesting incidents. The story of Seth Kinman's life would read like the romantic and wild adventures of yellow-baok litera- ture. He has presented every President from Buchanan to Arthur a curiosity in shape of chair, the legs and back of which were made of deer and elk horns artistically arranged. At the time of the travelling msn's visit he was engaged in making chair of this kind for President Cleveland. He stopped at KiAman's place at Table Bluff, about twelve miles from Eureka, Humboldt county, Cal. His saloon was filled with cu riosities and he took great pride in showing them to his visitors. The first thing he dis played was the handsome chair he was pre- pairing for MT. Cleveland.
 CT had started East," said the old scout, 'swith the intention of taking the chair and presenting it in person to the first Democrat ic President the country has had in twenty four years. But when I got as far as Los Angeles an old gunshot wound which had received in 8 skirmish with the Indians in . 1864 broke out on me again, and was forced

Tho Golden Club.


 To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: The recent publication of the names of certain professors of political economy in American colleges who are members of the Golden club suggests the thought that it is inepportune for those who have delyed like scavengers in the nusty dast heaps of ex- ploded British theories to commend to pros gressive America the stale morsels ished from those receptacles of rubbish.
 We have political economy of our own the outgrowth of our progressive institu- tions and our peculiar needs. Obstruction ists who undertake to oppose progress upon our modern lines might as well spend their time in commenting the superiority of the chariots of ancient Pharaoh which were en- gulfed in the Red Sea to our best modern locomotives.
 The audacious claim, made by some Amer jeans who affiliate with the Golden cluh (and which they insist upon in spite of his denial, that President Garfield was a member of it, is made ridiculous in the light of his memorable words, "We legislate for the peo- pie of the United States and not for the whole world" The Golden club would have us Iegislate in the interest of Great Britain rather than of the United States.

We have just purchased from one of the best manufacturers in the country large lot of fancy Coaching Shades, which we shall sell at $1.o8 each. The prices previous to this date were from $2.5o to $3 each. The backwardness of the season has injured the Parasol trade. Man ufacturers have accumulated stock, and as they must sell them this month prices have been broken. Just examine this lot. Also special bargains in finer goods.

Some people are too smart. citizen of Rockland, Maine, made g bargain with a butcher to kill and sell his fat COW on com mission. The butcher took the COW, and the first offer he received for the meat was from the owner, who did not recognize the carcass. He bought three-quarters of the meat at a low price, and sold it at small profit; and the next day got the other quarter, after beating the butcher down. When he settled with the butcher for his own COW he was angry because the meat sold so cheaply, but he was speeches. when he found out that he'd bought his own beef and sold himself.

TAXATION WITHOUT REPRRSKN-
TArGoS.
Editor Ir5buRe:-Now that the
excitement of the campaign has
subsidized il behooves us to calmly
discuss the questions which are, OF
of right ought to be legislated on at
the coming session Of the legislature.
Hon. j. w. Rewey has ably shown
before the farmers Institutes that
money.lenders, capitalists, and own
ers of bank.stock evade the laws
and do not bear their proportion OF
taxes. But the farm, farm stock and
property being visible must go on
the assessors list and cannot escape
paying the taxes that ought To be
paid by the former class lie says,
"lt is just as much an injustice to
compel me to pay part of that
mans taxes as it would be to compel
me to pay his grocery bill, or any
other bill he might incur" But this
is only one way in which farmers
are unjastly burdened, and this is
done by evading the law.
Here we will present another kind
of unjust taxation, done according
to law, and that without representa-
ton.
Here is man who has farmcd all
bis life; who when his horses ran
away and smashed his ueighbor's
property, or his cattle or hogs des.
troyed his neighbours crops, or his
dog kills his ueighbor's sheep, walks
up and honestly desires to pay all
damages he may cause others in the
prosecution Of his business. He
quits the farm and lives in the city.
Desiring to 20 into business he
thinks Of keeping saloon, and pro
ceeds TO ask city official about the
laws, DC.
"N0w suppose that ! should get a
regular customer who spent large
part Of his earnings At my bar, and
after while the family became
paupers, could they come back on
IN Z for damages?"
'NO; We send them to the county
farm and they are supported by
taxes"
Suppose some fellow should be.
come insane from drinking at my
place, would | be liable for any Of
the damages, or for his 5upport2"
"Why, We have lately built an in
sane asylum, and the county sup
ports them"
Another question and it's settled.
Suppose that some quarelsoine fell
lows get into q racket and some one
is murdered Or badly injured in my
place, am / liable for selling them
the liquor?"
"Why, what nonsense . II you
give us 5000 for a license, well
stand by you ana nobody shall
molest you If you keep within the
law. And what's more we've got ID
fixed 80 that we are making a big
thing out of il. | know l's rigA,
tbat every business ought u stand
the damages that it causes others,
but neither the saloon-keeper or The
city has to stand it. We get about
