HARRISON AND IRIsHMEN.

While the republican press is in
geniously working to ALLEVIATE Irish
Americans from the democratic
party by reference to English free
trade, it has evidently not. antici-
pated the publication of a bit of
history which shows that Benjamin
Harrison's hatred of them is quite
as intense as his love of the Chi
nese. The New York Star says:
Mr.. William Condor, of Bloom
ington, Illinois, in a letter to Mr..
R. R. Jones, of East Randolph, in
this State, testifies that a meeting
held at Bloomington, shortly before
the election in November, 1875,
Benjamin Harrison used this Ian
guage:
It is easy to know that mans race you
all know what they are. If it were not
for them we would not need half of our
penitentiaries, which are almost full Of
Of them. They have NO intelligence.
They are only good to shovel dirt and
grade railroads, for which they receive
more than they are worth, as they are no
acquisition to the American people.
The race he referred to was the
Irish, and the man his language re-
ferred to was an Irishman who in
terruLted Harrison with a question
and was being put out of the hall
for doing SO. The question he asked,
which was elected by some remark
of the speaker, was this:
How about the Irish, and where were
Meagher, Sheridan, Shields, Mulligan and
the others2
Mr.. Condor says that he has Of
ten related the circumstance and
that the language is fixed in his
mind beyond possibility of doubt.
Schuyler Colfax spoke at the
same meeting, and the latter relates
many incidents of the evening
which show how great an impress
sion the question made on Mr..
Condon's mind:
The letter was published last
week. and has now been several
days before the public without any
contradiction. There is no doubt
that Harrison uttered these senti-
ments, which are in accord with the
convictions and declarations of his
early life, as we'll rs with the polit-
ical principles learned from his
father, who was strong and bitter
native American member of Con-
qreSa.

Ketchum's Staging Interests.

Ketchum has assumed some i'm.
portance in the past two years as q
staging centre, and is now the con-
verging point of four distinct lines,
three Of which are daily and one
tri-weekly, which are. respectively,
the Haley, Smoky, Custer county
and Sawtooth. Our business rela-
tons with the mining towns and
stock regions of Custer county have
grown to such proportions that ut
the present time two lines of stages
ply between Kctchum and thet re-
gion, delivering freight and passen-
gers in the shortest possible time
after the daily arrival of trains at
this point. The convenience of this
route has become fully known to
the citizens of that locality, and, as
a consequence, there has been a
marked increase in general traffic
during the past season, and cor
responding falling off of travel over
other routes to the same destination.
A recent issue Of the Blackfoot
News says:
The stage company in order to curtail
expenses will hereafter run one horse
carts every other day between Blackfoot
and Challis to carry the mail. The reg
ular stage will run tri- weekly.
It cannot be denied that Ketchum
now has the bulk of transportation
business to Custer county towns.

Gold in Lava Rock.

An item has gone the rounds of
the press at intervals, says the Sho-
shone Journal, that the immense
bed of lava rock covering the Snake
river valley for hundreds of miles
will assay high in gold. An old
miner, who claims to have thor
oughly tested the matter, says this
is mistake. True, he has had lava
rock assayed which gave a return
of $50 to the ton, but in nine cases
out of ten not a trace was found.
He accounts for it in this way !:
Flour gold is found wherever sand
exists on the Snake river plains.
Whenever this porous lava rock is
imbedded in the sand the pores act
as receptacles for the -four gold and
fine sand, hence the assay in gold.
Only a few years ago quite an ex-
element was raised in Salt Lake
City over the aasaying of several
chunks of lava. some of which run
very high, and it was this that caused
the Journal informant to investi-
gate. He found that the chunks Of
lava were taken from a placer claim
near Eagle Rock, and that lava
blasted from an exposed reef did
not contain a trace of gold. He
has since taken lava rock yellow
with gold from rich deposits of sand
in bis placer claim on Snake river,
but has never seen such rock blast
ed from a solid reef.

The democratic primaries of thi
precinct will be held to-day in tn,
rear of the Metropolitan Hall, frs

terested in the affairs of good gov.
eminent should come out and cas-

So much for the primaries. The
Ketchum delegation can be depend.
ed upon to support 0. B. Batten fol-
district attorney, H. M. Stewart
for commissioner, John NJ. Can
nady for recorder and P. H. Kin
ney for sheriff. Beyond these four
offices it yet remains to be devel-
oped who will be chosen by the
Ketchum delegation, but if the
present ticket is elected they may
be depended upon to act jointly
and tremendously in all matters
coming before the convention.
Democrats should see to it to-
day that the farce of four years ago
Is not re-enacted and their only
way of a quiet and orderly demo-
cratic transaction is for them to
guard the polls and allow no spu-
riOus tickets to circulate.
A good representation at the con-
vention is half the battle fought,
and to-day the voters of this pre-
cinct have the regulation of that
matter.

MINING SUMMARY.
Effect Of the New Orc Rate---Iucreased
Shipments---Notes.

The effect of the new ore rate
from Wood River points has been
visible on every hand during the
past week, and it's most notable
feature consists in a general in
crease of ore shipments from this
and other points affected. From our
exchanges on the River is learned
that both Haley and Bellevue have
shipped more than the usual num-
Der of carloads during that time
and Ketchum is certainly not be-
hind either of them in actual out
put. We learn of the following
shipments since our last report:
