mountain is isolated and the summit has an
abrupt rocky face on all sides and affords
one of the grandest views to be found In the
Mississippi Valley. The furnace which is at
the north base was lun with charcoal until
this fuel became too expensive by the de-
struction of neighboring forests, after which
it was operated for time with Pennsylvania
coke. Recently it was blown out because of
the increased cost of fuel transportation and
it remains idle, mining and shipments of ore
being continued. The tunnels and shafts
are lighted by an electric plant adjoining the
furnace and air drills are operated in the
works from the same point. Like the Iron
Mountain mine, there is no appearance of
danger of exhaustion Of the supply of ore.
The ore is used in the manufacture of Bes-
semer steel for rails and nails, the demand
at reasonable prices being practically unlim-
tied.

IRONToN, Mo-, April 9, 1888


Ed. Register-I like the straight-for-
ward stand you take in your paper of
last week on the political situation. If
there was ever a time that Democrats
should get off the fence, that time is
certainly now. If we are Democrats
let US stand UP and be counted as such;
if we are Democrats from principle let
US be found in the front ranks battling
for the right. I, for one, am q Democrat
of the Cleveland type: believe Cleve-
lands message advocates wholesome
Democratic doctrine and on this plat
form we must stand or fall. am q
poor man, yet I believe that in the
Democratic party lies the only hope
the poor man has. The policy of the
administration during the four years
of it's existence goes to show that the
country is safe under Democratic rule,
and the interestsof the laborer have not
suffered. We have nothing TO fear from
those would-be Solons; on the contrary,
we are certain of easy victory if we but
stand by our forts. Victory depends
upon organization, and organization
should begin in the counties of each
state in the Union, and branch out to
every voting precinct in the county.
If we have any enemies in camp let us
find them out and rout them. II is far
better to have declared foe than a
doubtful ally. Talk about seeing
shadows OH grounding day! Why.
those are the very fellows who are
continually fighting imaginary foes in
the dark. They have never been
known to meet an opponent in open
battle, but retreat to their holes on the
first appearance of shadow. And
some of them claim to be good Demo-
Gratis, too; yet they are continually
seeking after strange and unknown
Gods, thereby contributing to the sue
cess of the very party that for twenty
five years utterly ignored their dearest
inter ests. Democrats, stand up and
be counted. YOUNG DEMOCRAT.

Mr.. Summers letter which we repro
duced from The Neau Order last week
was a surprise to many. This was
natural. We hear, also, that some
persons are offended by the comments
made by the REGISTER in connection
with the letter. This is little siDgu-
lar. While our relations with many
of those belonging to the Z. of L. have
always been pleasant, and, with some
of them, intimate, we cannot under
stand how anyone could look for any
thing else than lick in return when
the Democratic party was assailed.
Surprising the X. of l.. had been in
existence since the formation OF the
American government, and a new
secret organization calling itself the
Democratic party had sprung into ex-
istence within the past few years. Sup
posing the REGISTER for twenty years
had advocated the principles OF the K.
of L. against any and all comers-as-
serted time and again that they were
correct principles, and believing so, it
intended to and did advocate them
through good and evil report. At the
end of that up comes this new assail-
ant, the Democratic party. Slap! it
takes the K. of l.. in the face: calls it
the"poor old X. of L. ""weak-kneed,"
asserts that Its faithful adherents are
"trembling in their boots" and that
this new party is going to knock it out
on the first round, etc., etc. Wouldn't
you expect the paper tnat had so long
ADVOCATED your cause, and time and
again asserted its sincerity of belief in
your priD eiples, TO stand up and fight
for you? If it didn't, wouldn't you
lose faith in its sincerity and call it
craven? IT'S true, in this instance the
reverse is the fact, but what would be
right in one case is equally so in the
other. So long as the X. of l.. as an
organ ization keeps out of politics, it has
no "black word" from US; but when it
or any other society does go into the
political arena and attempt to "down"
the Democratic party, we shall strike
back just as hard and often as is with
in our power.

Bro. Curry has sensibly concluded to
change the name and form of his pa
per. We will let him give his reasons
Gin the exact language of his own
Words"
AS soon as we can make arrangements we
will change the Renorator to an eight page
paper, and change its name also. We never
did like the name, and we are getting tired
trying to explain the meaning of it because
we don't know ourselves.) Renovdtor is
ugly enough, but to have fellow write it
REGULATOR" or Moderator" or "Peram-
bulator," makes us mad, but we were utter
ly disguised with any word ending with
s4tor," when a fellow last week wrote it
s'Preyaricator." Guess he thought lawyer
was editing the paper. Our left jaw has got
out of shape pronouncing the name of this
sheet. We want to live in peace, which we
can't do with such an outrageous name con-
tinually humming in our ears. The other
night In our dreams we got the name spelled
backwards like this "Rotavoner," and we
have since concluded that the meaning was
about the same spelled either way-in fact
We would rather have it backwards then we
could tell the inqlisitive citizen that 'Rota-
voner" was dutch for newspaper or some
thing else.

During the last session of Congress a bill
was passed appropriat1ng money to erect a
government building at Springfield, Mo.
President Cleveland vetoed it on the ground
that such building was not needed there
This year similar bill was passed again and
the President has signed it. This is election
year.-Poplar Bluff Republic.
When the first bill was passed the
only o. s. offices in Springfield were
the land offices and tie post-off1ce, and
suitable buildings could be rented for
them. Since then U. s. District
Court has been established there, and
a governmet building has become a
necessity. All this Bro. Crumb knows,
and he ought have told it.

SHIFTLESS RANCHERs.

The following from the Virginia City
Enterprises shows lamentabls state of
anuirs among the ranchers of that sec
ton, aud we regret to state that the
same exists, to some extent at least,
among the farmers of Elko county.
We have oftrn wondered why ranchmen
in this vicinity seemed 50 careless about
producing sufficient supply of butter,
eggs, chickens, hams, bacon, ETC., to
supply the home market. Our princi-
pal supply of chickens and eggs comes
from Utah. the butter from California
and hams and bacon from Chicago.
These articles could certainly be fur
nished by Elko county farmers at a
profit, aud we can see no good reason
why our supply should depend on
''foreign" market when the same arti-
cles might be produced by our home
farmers, and the consumer would much
prefer the home article to that imported.
The Enterprise says:
IAN f terprise reporter, while in
R-no last week, noticed several rnnchers
buying at the stores such arti, les as
butter, eggs, ham. bncon, potatoes,
wheat for chicken feed and other articles
that can be raised abundantly and
profitably throughout the valley. In
quiry of the storekeeper revealed q
wretched and shiftless condition of
things on the part of the ranchers.
They raise scarcely anything but alfalfa,
and this they sell in the stack, princi-
pally to California cnttIemen, who, in
fact. make about NIL the profit repre-.
scented i'll the alfalfa by loading it in
side of the cattle's skins.
To a man up tree NIL the poetry of
farm life il knocked into a cooked hat
in contemplation of the fact that their
fresh eggs come from the store and they
have to drink black coffee or use con-
densed milk. but such seems to be the
case with Washoe county farmers"
