learned here the accident to the Chicago &
Northwestern train must have been caused
by the breaking of the track and could
not have been guarded against, as the
scene of the disaster is twelve miles from
the nearest village, Iron River, and nc
telegraph station nearer than that. Par
ticulars are meaCre.
Mcdonald was elected lieutenant gov

He was ~ years of age and leaves a widow
and son and daughter. His estate is val
ued at over S500.000.
Mr.. futile was well known in Cleveland
and in Lake Superior mining districts. He
leaves a widow and one child.
L. p. Foster, of Iron Mountain, is a
prominent mining man whose operations
extend over the Marquette, Menominee
and Gogebic ranges.

The editor of the Weekly Whoopsr sat in

The editor leaned back, stuck both hands
in his pockets and whistled meditative
air. He was gazing at letter which lay
on the desk in front Of him and which read
thus:
SIR: Unless you refrain from publishing
any more articles in opposition to the great

The editor read this cheerful epistle
haf-a-dozen times. Then he whistled an
andante, which presently grew into an al
legretto, and finally into very lively
scherzo. Then he took up pen, and
wrote as follows:

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
Considerable Wrangling Among the Dele

Considerable Wrangling Among the Dele
.gates-On'y One Fight.
The Republican primaries, for the pur
pose of ~electing delegates to the county
convention, which will be keId Saturday
for the purpose of sending delegates to the
state convention, to meet at Anaconda,
August 26th, were held 10 the various
wards last Light. The only wards in
which any real hard work was done were
the Fourth and Fifth. In the former two
tickets were in the field and some bitter
antagonism existed. The flag ticket, com
posed Of the following delegates, was sue.
cessful: Thomas Campbell. John A. Can
non, P. R. Dolman, M. B. Brownlee, James
Davidson, Joseph Silver, r. Campana, I.
S~trasburger and Oliver Cheverier.
The defeated ticket was partly composed
OF the flag ticket, the names of four appear
ing on it. The others were Simon Haas.
with, V. F. Huffman, w. piukham, VIM.
Thompson and NJ. L.. Holland. When it
came near time for the polls to close, the
defeated ticket rustled up about fifty men
from the Fifth ward and attempted to vote
some OF them. At this action the lucky
ones roared and began to question the
qualifications Of tho men to vote in the
Fourth. While the "rangIing was going on
the polls closed, and thus ended one of the
most closely contested primaries ever held
in the city.
In the fifth ward thefollowing ticket was
victorious: Delegates--John Harris, John
Dowd, Jas. Kavanah, Marian Cooper,
Nicholas Naylor, Chas. Blume and Bruce
Alternates-C. W. Spencer,
Eugene Pryor, E. W. Sanborn, Chas. Sulii.
van. Link Grows, j. W. Willis and n. ].
Mcdonald.
Considerable interest was manifested in
the Fifth, al there were also two tickets in
the field. The poll workers worked and
watched, but notwithstanding their eagle
eyes, more votes were cast then there are
voters in the ward. After the polls
closed, the seemingly hard work be-
gan. The counters counted and
swore, and swore and counted, while
the perspiration rolled down the sides OF
their faces in drops as large as billiard balls.
The crowd on the inside was eagerly watch
ing the counters to see to it that none OF
ballots went up their sleeves. When the
OF the central committee rapped
on the door for admittance, it was denied !!
him, and he was instructed to put his card |
under the door and 60 around the back !
which he did.
In the other wards the regular tickets |

Now this, according to the Journal"
is the history Of the Mexican lead ore
case.
As apropos at this time it is interest
ing to call the attention OF the "J0ur-
nal" and the other Republican papers, to
some facts and figures presented by Au-
gust r. Meyer in a document filed with
the Secretary of the Treasury. It is
shown that following the formal de-
cision" of Secretary Fairchild, the
heaviest importation took place, that is.
in the years 1886, 1887 and 1888. During
those years the average price Of pig lead
at New York was for 1856, $4.63 per 100
pounds; for 1887, $4.47; for 1883, SAL; or
an average for those three years of $3.50.
During the three years preceding the
Mexican importations-that is to say in
1889, 1884 and l8S5-the average prices
were: for 1883, $4.32; for 1884, 1913;
and for 1886, 1886. or an average for
those years of $4.O0. So that for the
three years before the heavy Mexican i'm
portations the average price Of lead was
fifty cents per hundred pounds less than
during the three years of the Mexican
importations.
1t will be interesting to see how the
journal" will explain these facts, while
it is, in the mean time, whettlng its
logic preparatory to an encounter with
the "IDter Mountain" on the subject of
copper.

BUILDING UP THE SYNDICATEs.

~ - ANSs
Evidently the Iowa Republicans are
getting their eyes opened, too. At the
state convention, Thursday, at Des
Moines, the platform favored, among
other things, protection, provided it
does not foster monopolies and trusts"
This proviso shows an evidence of ad-
vancement beyond the recent blind de-
mands for protection" regardless of
consequences.
One of the obnoxious features of the
robber tariff miscalled protection" is
the encouragement which it gives to all
sorts Of monopolies, and as a consequence
the building up of trusts" "syndicates,"
and other oppressive combinations. The
English capitalists are beginning to nm
derstand this fact fully, and, as a conse-
quence, are. rushing all their capital
over to this country, buying up all our
industries and putting every American
citizen at the mercy of the monopolists.
