The real surplus in the United
States treasury is. by careful investi-
CATION found to be 100000. If,
as the Democrats maintained, there
was surplus Of 1882, 517,75155 in
the treasury at q recent date, the peo-
pie would like to know what has be-
come of other $106,517,751.55.
We would not be particular about the
80 cents but the democrats gave the
example. 1t seems that their old
war cry in 1884 of "turn the rascals
out" would apply to them with admir-
able force.

The South Shore and the North
ern Pacific people have finally come
to an understanding or agreement,
and the former company, IS was fear
ed, will use the n 7. track from Iron
River to Superior, instead of building
their own through line. SO long as
this arrangement exists, the South
Shore road will be of no particular
benefit to Superior. The Northern
Pacific COMPANY is an open and avow-
ed enemy Of Superior, and will not
even associate itself with ANYTHING
that is friendly with the place. We
had feared this combination from the
first, although the Sonth Shore peo-
pie have so stoutly denied that it
should ever come to pass.

Col. Lounsberry, late of Duluth,
used to be postmaster at Bismarck.
After being kicked out of office by
the civil service reform humbug at
W ashington, Mr.. Lounsbery presented
his claim for clerk hire etc. The
Democratic officials not allowing his
claim, he crrried it up and Congress
investigated the merits of the case,
found it all right, and allowed Mr..
Lounsberry s1,2'4.51. Now the
presidential fraud at Washington
Yetoes the bill. Mr.. Lounsberry was
Colonel in the Union army, which
alone accounts for the unjust treat
ment by President Cleveland.

The projectors of the South Shore
and Atlantic got much of their en-
enlargement from the people on the
avowed statement that they would
not unite with the Northern Pacific
Company, but would build a separate
and direct line of road of their own.
They have not done so. 1t is another
case of clean sell out. 1t was with
them simply question of the most
money for tie least work, and our
people are still left at the mercy of
one line power, and the owner of that
line our bitter enemies.

If that chief demagogue, Presi-
dent Cleveland thinks that $4,000
600 is too much of surplus to haye in
the national treasury, why does he
not use it in taking up the govern
ments bonds, and thus relieve the
people of the taxation necessary to
meet the interest on that amount?
lie has full power to do so. He
ought to do so. He would do so were
he an honest man and did lie not
want to handle the surplus for poIit-
zeal purposes. But this, nor aught
else will save the demagogue in No
vember. Cleveland must go.

A TRAGEDY IN I'D lHO.~
Lew Durfee Shot and Killed
by E. J. Wright.
ANATTEMPP TOLYNCH WRIGHT
he Is Struck in the Neck by Bullet
From the Mob-Wright
is Dying.

A horrible tragedy was enacted at
PocateIlo, Idaho, yesterday afternoon,
which resulted in the death of one man
and the fatal wounding, by mob, of
another. The first word of the affair
to reach this city was in the following
dispatch to THE HERALD:
PoCATELLo, Idaho, December 22.-
Especial to THE HERALD j. Wright
shot and instantly killed Lew Durfee,
a passenger brakeman this afternoon
about 2.30. Wright Immediately sur
rendered; intense excitement; Iypching
feared; prisoner escaped about 5 80;
pursued; fred at frequently; brought
down by shot in the neck; the officers
brought ths prisoner to the depot
building, keeping the mob at bay with
cooked reTolYers. The prisoner is said
to be dying; depot surrendered by a
mob.
FULL PARTICULARS
came later in the following dispatch:
PoCATELLo, Idaho. December %
Especial to THE Herald "A fatal
shooting affcay occurred in this place
about2 80 pm. L. F. Durfes, q pas
senger brakeman, on the Oregon Short
Line. got into a row at the Pacific
Hotel with Constable Nelson, between
whom there was an old grg1ge. Neil
son was badly beaten and finally called
upon e. ]. Wright, commonly known
as Buck" for assistance. Wright
also got the worst of the row and pulled
his gun but was prevented from using
it. Shortly after Wright and Durfee
met in DR.. Beams drug store and
Wright again pulled his revolver, and
without word, shot Durfee twice in
the face, killing him instantly. Wright
then surrendered to the officers, but
afterwards escaped. He was pursued
and shot at frequently, finally
receiving a bullet in the neck
which brought him down. He was
brought to the depot and the building
is now surrounded by howling mob
of switchmen and brakemen intent on
lynching him. The officers are now
holding the mob at bay with drawn re-
volvers. Sheriff Taylor is en- route
from Blackfoot with a posse for the
protection of Wright, but it is feared he
will not arrive in time.
A later dispatch says that Wright is
fatally shot and is now dying.

A VALUABLE FIND.
A Mine Of TripoIi Discovered Near
the City.

4 new and very valuable discovery
has been made about three miles up
Red Butte Canyon. 1t is what's known
as tripoll and is an article valued at
several hundred dollars per ton. Only
four mines of the kind, we believe,
have ever been dis covered in the known
world. The uses to which this metal
can be put are numerous. The chief
and most valuable of its properties is
IN the polishing of silver, brass, and
machinery and metals and stones of all
kinds. 1t also is valuable as fire
proof paint, a saponifer, tooth powder,
razor paste. and many other things. 1t
is estimated that over million dollars
worth of the material is in sight and
ready for use, all the preparing needed
in fitting it for the market being to
shovel it up, and for the polishing of
the finer grades of silver-ware to run
it through fine seive and possibly
roller to pulverize it still more. The
discovery was made accidentally by w.
Pratt, who is now negotiating with
several parties looking to the organiza-
tioa OF a company for developing and
placing the Tripoli on the market.
Samples of the material have been left
with Stewart & Co., but will soon be
placed on exhibition at the Chamber of
Commerce. Tripuli was first discovered
at the town bearing its name, and an
analysis shows it to be composed of the
cast off shells of microscopic organisms,
being principally silica.

THE REAL. ESTATE UNION.
The Regular Meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce.

After the usual routine of opening
business, the committee appointed at
the last meeting, to consider the names
OF W. ]. Lynch and J. Fred. Corker to
membership, reported favorable, and
they were duly elected. An examina.
ton of the list showed that three dealers
who had signed the articles of organi-
cation were not licensed dealers, and
their names were dropped from the roll
until such time as they should take out
licence.
The committee on advertising re-
ported that they were not ready to
make a final report and requested
further time, which was given. A
motion was made that the committee
be further instructed to correspond
with the leading eastern daily news
papers to ascertain their lowest rates of
advertising, 1t being proposed to
adopt q system of advertising IN the
east through the medium of the daily
press.
A resolution was offered that
directory of the members of the Real
Estate Dealers Union be published in
the Salt Lake DAILY HERALD and daily
Irib,.ae. On motion the resolution was
adopted
Applications for membership were in
order, and the name of J. Il. KnOwl-
den was presented, S. B. Wester6eld,
]. f. Jack and Fl. N. Greene ware ap-
pointed committee On investigation of
applications for membership.
The remainder of the evening was
taken up in Discussion of the methods
of advertising and the proposition to
START real estate weekly. The latter
was not favored and the talk turneu on
the question Of issuing the pamphlet as
proposed atpreVious meetings.
Adjourned to meet again next Satur-
day evening.
