Smuggling Lead fron Mexico.

WASHINGTON, May, Ii. "A large dele
cation OF miners and smeltermcn from
tie west appeared before Sec'y Window
today for the hearing touching the ruling
Of the treasury department as to the i'm
portation of lead ores from Mexico. Af-
cording to this ruling the lead ores arc
imported free Of duty if the silver con-
tanned therein exceeds the lead in value.
This ruling, they contend, is Injurious to
the smelter interests Of the western ter
ritores and they desire it to be revoked
and the orc to be classi fed according to
the weight of the various metals compos-
ing it, instead Of the value.
Representing this view Of the case,
there were present Senator Wolcott, cX-
Governor Grant and D. Speedy Of Col
orado; Delegates Carter. Ex-Governor
lIu,lser and Carter Harrison of Montana;
Van Horn Of Utah, and Delashmutt Of
Portland. Oregon.
In support Of the correctness of the
ruling a number Of New York and Kan
sas City dealers appeared aud argued
that an analysis Of the language of 1883,
imposing a tax OF l i5 cents per pound on
lead ore would show that the ruling OF
the department was correct. They called
attention to the fact that in 1880 Sec y
Sherman had made a similar ruling and
that Asst sec'ys Fairchild and Maynard
| had also decided in like manner. The
senate had been called upon to pass its
opinion as to the ruling and unanimously
+, decided it was correct.
In view of these facts they maintained
that the sec'y of the treasury should not
now be called upon to revoke the ruling
but that congress was the proper tribun-
al to which the slnclters of the west
should have recourse. The hearing vii
he continued tomorrow

THURSDAY MORNING. NAY 16. 1889.


Our friends, the enemy, had small
jubilee in front of the Park hotel last
evening. Germ & Davenport's band was
present and opened the exercises by a
lively tune. Jerry Collins called the
gathering to quietness and ordered Gen.
Paris Gibson to say his piece, which he
did in regular Websterian style. The
band played another tune. Jerry then
led forward the silver-tongued orator of
the cataracts, Major George Washington
Taylor, who poured forth eloquence by
the yard in five minute speech. An
other tune from the band. Jerry advanc-
ed to the front for the third time and in
troduced to the gathering brother Timo-
thy Collins. Timothy stepped to the fore
like little man, took off his Derby and
bowed. The gathering cheeled. Tim
smiled and bowed again, and then began
his talk. He said he was happy and re-
joiccd over the fact that he was elected.
He promised to behave himself in the
future and follow the guiding hand Of
Gen. Gibson in all matters pertaining to
forming a state constitution. He liked
the democratic party but had no love for
republicans because they were always
heading off his schemes. In his closing
Tim endeavored to be funny, but his wit
fell flat as a tiounderer on the gathering.
The band then played short dirge, after
which Jerry bobbed up again and order
ed Bill Cockrill of Kentucky to give the
bluegrass warwhoop. William is a mild
hammered man and was not accustomed
to such style of frontier introduction.
But Jerry wouldn't give in and the blue
grass orator was led to the front like
bullock to the slaughter. With hat in
hand and a half-ounce quid of tobacco
in his mouth, he proceeded to empty out
on the hungry and thirsty gathering on
is front what he considered to be the true
glory Of the .so-called democratic party
He spoke for about ten minutes in
strain Of eloquence that fairly lifted the
called and Bill backed to the rear to coal
up. The band gave another tune. The
grist of orators had been exhausted and
Jerry was on the rustic for some one to
wind the affair up with. A boy in the
gathehing espied Judge Larkin of Kibhy
in the background. Jerry was notified
of the discovery. The judge was collar
ed and led to the front. Jerry told him
to go in and give the republicans HI,
but the judge bucked. There was a
short pause and then the judge opened
up in true old-time eloquence. He
spoke we'll of the three men elected to
go to the constitutional conventions; he
felt confident they would do their duty
in framing constitution for Montana,
etc, etc. The band was getting restless
and Jerry pulled the judges coat-tail
and he stopped short off. Then the band
played another tune. Jerry stepped for
ward, hairbrain and alone, and with a
voice sounding like distant thunder shout
ed outcome, let's all SO into Schmidt's
saloon and get a drink!' The gathering g
cheered, the band played and Jerry took
the lead to the saloon where whisky,
democracy, beer and limburger cheese
held the fort for the rest Of the evening.
Thus endeth the second chapter i'll the
rejoicing Of our friends, the enemy.

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at Lapeyre
Bros. Drug Store as their giving away to
their customers Of SO many free trial
bottles Of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Bronchitis, Group, and all throat and

test it before buying by getting trial

of indebtedness which We may IN
cur In INV opinion this viii be found
none too large sum. and it Is an amount
which il would have been impossible for as
to raise under any other powers than those
given as under the new constitution. The
gratitude of the city is due TO Councilman
Durie. of your body. for this and other lib
e-al provisions IN the constitution. since
they are mainly the result Of his exeriions
while member of the constitutional con-
vention.
I recommend that bills be prepared
which shall put in force the provisions of
the constitution regarding municipalities
and their Indebtedness, and that the same
be given to our representatives in the state
legislature. with request that they push
the same through to enactment at as early
date as is practicable
Another provision in the constitution
which concerns us materially is that pro-
viding tat cites Of over 10000 inhabitants
NAV frame their o.n charters. We had
already taken some action fowarc framing
a new charter, but ii will now be necessary
for Us to proceed in the manner provided
for in the constitution, which Is different
from that which we had contemplated.
/ also call attention TO the provisions OF
the harhor article in the constitution. and
pa ticulsriy 10 the section which provides
that c::ses may extend their streets over
and across shore and tide lands, and recon-
mend that our streets and highways be
laid out on our harbor front, N such
reasonable and scientific manner as may
best suhserve The municipal and business
interests OF the city This is probably the
most valuable provision in the constitution
which could have been pls ,ed there for our
benefit and settles foreve- the rights OF the
municipality TO her own ha-bor front and
the approaches thereto.
CONCLUSION.
/ had intended to make many suggestions
for the coming year. but since they all con-
template the expenditure of large sums of
money, and this is only possible after the
constitution goes into effect. shall take
opportunity 10 state the same after a.
event takes place.
The strongest faith and the warmest i'm
agination of our most saneuine citizen does
not outrun the steady march Of progress II

Carpenters on the Rainier strike.

Ever since work was begun on the Hotel
Rainier non-union carpenters have been
engaged in its construction This was al
ways an eye-sore to the union carpenters
OF the city. and recently it was resolved TO
make some move in the matter. Thursday
evening all of the mechanics on the
building were induced to join the
Carpenters Union. When the men EN-
ployed on the building presented them
selves Yesterday morning, they informed
Sir. George Waite. the foreman and con-
tractor. that unless Tie ten hour a dav
rule he changed to nine hours they would
seek employment elsewhere. Mr. Waite
immediately aceeded 10 the demand. and
the sound of the hammer and the buzz of
the saw i heard but nine hours per day
