"A VALUABLE OPIeJICu.

They ore growing cautious and will

but | tell them that mining investments,

chandising. From the rich specimens
sent east from your mines, eastern cap
ta'ists, especially at St Louis, are be-
coming much interested in the mines of
Idaho. The reason why Idaho is as
backward as she is is not in the lack Of
ore, for this you have in abundance, but
that you lack the proper machinery for
the reduction Of your ores. With two
or three exceptions you have no machin-
cry to properly test the value Of your
ores. The money your people saved in
placer mining they have spent ia pros.
pectiug aud in securing quartz property,

you need is more capital, and this will
come when eastern capitalists are con.

the vast amounts taken from your placer

The Revival Of Sectionalism.

Our indianapolis correspondent has
transmitted a remark of Colonel Quay
to the effect that that political strate-
gist was satisfied that President Harri-
son would ''make the Southern ques-
ton prominent and would settle it so
that justice would be done to the COL
ored people," Is it not about time
that this foolish talk should be aban-
doned by every body, and particularly
by a Napoleon" The Republican
party had complete possession of the
Government in all it's branches, for
nearly twenty years after the war.
During all that period it made the
Southern question prominent with
the result, according to Republican
Testimony, that the colored people were
as badly off at the end of Republican
rule as at the beginning. The party
tried every expedient. from military
governments to returning boards, and
found them all futile. Public opinion
will not now permit recurrence to
these methods. 1t is virtually made
up on the point that the South must be
permitted to settle its local affairs in
its own way. The next Republican
President will show good sense if he
does not make the Southern question
any more prominent than the Western
question or the New England question.

One of the Results of the Recent "Hig
Protection Victory"

One of the Results of the Recent "High
Protection Victory"
A special dispatch from Troy, N. T.,
says: The knitting-mill owners OF
the Mohawk Valley and Cohoes have
announced a reduction of fifteen per
cent. in wages. beginning January 1.
There is very little doubt that other
mill men and factory men. following
the example of the knit goods manu-
facturers, will cut wages"
The closing down of a mill or the
reduction of wages previous to No
vember was ascribed to tariff
tinkering,' and the Democratic party
was unjustly assailed in that regard
by every monopolistic newspaper in
the country.
Now the same journals are as mute
as SO many mice when the wages of
working-men are reduced and indus
trial establishments ''shut down for
an indefinite period" They told
the people that the election of
General Harrison meant ''pro-
lection to American labor" but
how a working-man is protected by
having his wages cut down or by be-
ing entirely deprived of employment
is difficult to understand. 1t is cheer
ing to know, however, that the intel
ligent wage-worker was not misled to
any great extent by the misrepre-
sensations OF the campaign liar.
Those who were deceived doubtless
know by this time that vote against
honest tariff reform was a vote for
that sort of protection which cripples
industries, fosters monopolies and
wrings unnecessary taxes from the
pockets of the toilers into the bar
gain.
The working-men will also be able
to see more clearly that the Jarretts
and Litchmans who strove to preju-
dice them against the Democratic
party, and went among them to
preach the DEVILS gospel of "pro-
tection,' were not only false prophets
but missionaries of evil. Their oc-
cupation's gone, so far as intelligent
| working-men are concerned. - Har-

A QUEER COLLECTION.

Bottled Waters from Many Rivers the
Hobby of Two Travelling Englishmen.
1t is surprising how many peculiar
things man will do when he has more
time and money at his disposal than he
knows what to do with.
Not long since two young English
men of fortune were travelling in this
country. They visited many sections,
and one day their conversation at

eler. A conversation in which all
three joined followed.

asked of the Englishmen.

thought it would be more pleasant for
both if we had some object in view, and
we wanted to do something different

Always, of course. Do you think
we would carelessly destroy what has

THE FRUIT PAID THE RENT.

The eager landlord wreathed in smiles,

The city mans alarms.

With blossoms fairly bent
Why, my dear sir, I'll guarantee
The fruit will pay the rent

Stepped gayly in the trap,
Although he felt little mean
To take SO soft snap.
AS usual in such case
Our innocent soon found
That living on q country place
Costs extractor the ground.
1t cost so much that in the fail

Which made the angry landlord call

The tenant eyed his enemy
Until his breath was spent.
Then coolly said: You guarantee

You see I've left you all the fruit
That pays the rent-good day.
