The syndicate has given notice that
they will take no more ore at the Wi
mona furnace after the lst of July
This news causes another panic in this
section of the country; and this sets
many to thinking what to do-yes, and
causes some to dream dreams, and per.
haps ere long it will cause some to see
visions-but they still live in hope and
on promises of better times to come,
from a Republican standpoint. The
other day one of our Republican
friends took such an overdose of Ben
Harrifon's promise that it caused him
to dream, and here is the dream as he
related it: A certain Republican poll
itician Of Carlyle dreamed that he died
and passed on his journey to another
world. At first there was hut single
road, but after Iong distance it forked
and standing there as a sort of guide-
board was an angel, who inquired the
name ofthe traveller. and upon receiv-
ing this information consulted his di-
rectory, and finding divers black
marks bade tha pilgrim take the left
hand road. After travelling some 9is-
tance the politician arrived at the
abode of his Satanic Majesty, who,
while according him royal welcome.
appologetically remarked that he had
arrived little sooner than was ex-
pected, therefore would he look about
the diggings for time, while his room
was being put IN order. In compli-
ance with :his request, the politician
followed guide about and witnessed
the roasting and squirming-a job lot
of fellows in very hot quarter. In
quiring who they were, he wss told
that they were the monopolists who
originated the tariff to protect home
industries. In another compartment
were found the preachers who had
prayed temperance and voted the Re-
publican ticket. A little further on
they came to room not quite so hot,
where string of men were hanging up
BY their heels, by means of binders
twine. In astonishment the politician
asked the meaning of this strange
sight. whereupon the assistant devil
replied: "Oh they are farmers who
believed in a high tariff; they are 50
daraed green that they won't burn we
have to hang them up by the heels for
few months to dry 'em outr' And
when he awoke he felt bad over his de-
lirium, and sent for his family physi-
clan; and the doctor came, and mas
much as he was a Democrat he could
see into the case at once, so he took
out of his medicine case few leaves
which are gooJ for the healing of the
nation. AMI mixed them with little
high protection Of tincture of iron, and
took few drops of repentance from
his patient, and made few pills of the
above prescription, and gave It to the
dreamer. AS soon us he had ta ken the
dose he began to feel better and went
on bis way rejoicing. And he d:eam ed
again, and said tha; he woke up on the
next Presidential election day, and he
felt in his pocket for a ticket and
pulled out some of the leaves the doc.
tor had given him, and they were full
Democratic tickets and on tbs back of
each was written IN gilt letters, This
is the ticket which is good for the heal
ing of the nation" and we hope that
many will partake of the same dose
and follow his example.
