Black Hills Tin.

Superior Leader: Let's see. Capt
Sellwood, who, il is said, is well post
ed in the mining and manufacturing
of tin, having been brought up in the
Cornwall mines, says the Black Hills
ores will yield A per cent but for pre-
cautions sake he is willing to call it
2 per cent. The Leader is curious to
haye Capt. Sellwood inform the public
how much richer the Black Hills
ores must necessarily be in order to
offset the difference in the cost Of labor
as compared with wages paid the
Cornwall miners, which he says is the
"sole earthly reason" why the Dakota
mines have not been more fully de-
veloped. At a mine down in Hough-
ton county, Michigan, they are max
ing copper at cost of 10.44 cents per
pound, from ores which yielded only
seven-tenths of one per cent, and the
cost Of labor is not very much less
than it would be in the Black Hills.
This mine is making profit of some
thing over five cents pound. Now,
if such results can be accomplished at
copper mine on such a low yield,
why should not 2 per cent tin ore be
made to pay equally as well, and why
does it need additional protection, if
the difference in yield as compared
with the Cornwall mines more than
covers the difference in the cost Of
labor.

Democratic County Ticket.

The Democrats of Alpena haye had
many first class tickets, but have never
had better class of candidates than
the ones they are to vote for and elect
on the fourth of November. They
can all be elected if the Democrats of
this county will only turn out and
vote on election day.
For sheriff, John Mclaughlin, is
new man as regards office, but he is
well known as citizen. For years
he has been engaged in numbering,
and has acted as foreman of lumber
camps. He is worthy man for the
office and will make good sheriff.
Andrew j. Simmons, the nominee
for county clerk, is so well known to
the people that it is not necessary for
us to say much about him. He has
acted as county clerk for nearly two
years, and has done his work efficient
ly, and proved himself a good SER
want Of the people. He has been
tried and has been proved to be
capable, efficient, courteous, and is
one of the most obliging officials this
county has ever had. We ask for
him the earnest support of all
Democrats.
George F. Perkins, for county
Treasurer, and John F. Kelley, for
register of deeds, are on both tickets,
and of course are very likely to be
elected. The latter is Republican
endorsed by the Democrats. They
are beth good officials.
The candidate for the office of
prosecuting attorney is James Nc
Namara, and he has already served
the people as such for years past. He
has discharged the duties of his Office
in most worthy manner, with credit
to himself and with honor to the
county. His administration of that
important office is worthy of the high
est praise, and if the people desire to
conduct their business on business
principles, they will retain Mr.. McNa-
mara in their service for another two
years.
The remainder of the ticket is filled
satisfactorily, but as regards the
candidate for county surveyor we de-
sire to say that he is first class sur
yeyor, and has been proved competent
to do any work in the surveying line.
He has followed the surveying bust
ness here for several years, is good
and capable man, and worthy of
united Democratic support.
Jeriah l.. Currier is the nominee
for circuit court commissioner, and j.
E. Denton and DR.. Cameron have
been nominated coroners. They are
well qualified for the positions.

How to Educate Women.

Once give full scope to the express
ion of woman's powers, in any and
every form of activity that may cor
respond to those powers relieve alike
from fear of poverty and dependence,
and from the tyranny of enforced in
activity; and womanhood will blossom
into beauty and strength and love-
illness of character hitherto undreamed
of. Especially in the home relations
of women will this be apparent. AS
an earnest thinker upon the subject
has said, at is inevitable that the re-
moval of any external pressure of
necessity to marry for the sake of a
home and support will have tendency
to elevate the standard of marriage,
first among women, and then among
men,"
One of the greatest foes to happy
marriages is the existence of the mer-
cenary spirit on the part of parents
and daughters. Nothing will so
effectively remove it as the possession
by young girls and women of satisfac-
tory, honorable, remunerative occupa-
tions, and the countenance and appro-
baton of society in the pursuit of
them. Margaret Fuller said: mo
woman can give her hand with dignity
until she has learned to stand alone"
The day is near at hand when the
thoroughly educated woman will be
the one admiringly described by
Goethe as liable, if necessary, to be
both father and mother to her child
ren." Here will be found the true
conditions for forming love-inspired
marriages, and as consequence, the
ceasing to be of any other kind. And
while we open to them the book of
freedom to find that highest heaven
of earthly bappiness-the home build
ed upon love and happy marriage,
we at the same time furnish them
with key of escape from that Bastile,
that hell-a marriage from which
love and respect have departed.-Mrs.
Helen E. Starrett in the October
Forum.

In finally casting his vote for the

to remove the duties from the prod

put them on.

We have received from Laird IL Lee. of
Chicago, compact little volume of $40
pages, bound in good, stout, board covers
which is veritable epit0me of valuable
information. 1t is called 1.-THE Worlds
Ready Reckoner and Rapid Calculator"
and isidesigned for every day use by mer-
chants, lnmbermen, manufacturers, farm
ers, mechanics and housekeepers. The
book consists of u number of tables, inge-
niously arranged, by which the price of
anything at any price may be calculated
without any mental work beyond reading
the pages. The wages of workmen and
hired help can be found at single glance
for any number hours, days, weeks, or
months, at any price paid for labor, and
the tables of board by the day, week or
month, will be of value TO landlords In
keeping accounts of their business. An
Interesting and valuable department of
the book is the tables of money and cur
rency of the world, in which the values Of
foreign money is reduced to equivalent
value in United States legal tender. Old
and valuable United States coins are list
ed at their market value in the book, and
may prove valuable information to those
who have old and curious coins in their
possession. The tables of plank, board
and log measurement are particularly full
and complete, while other measures re-
ceive adequate attention.

C, r, N Meek,

Mr.. Meek, manager of the Union Pa
cific railroad lines in Colorado, delivered
an address at Glen Park last week on
the railroad question, and handled it in
his usual logical and masterly way. Mr..
Meek answered several pertinent ques-
tions that were asked him. stating frank
ly his position and the situation as
viewed from a railroad standpoint. 1t is
one secret of Mr.. Meek's popularity that
he meets the people frankly, and dis
cusses the questions they are interested
in without any air Of mystery or con-
cealment. This cordial and frank treat
ment Of the Texas people has made them
his fast friends and the Denver and Ft
Worth railroad popular road with
them. He believes that the prosperity
Of the people and the railroads are iden-
ticai, and that there is no necessity fol
any antagonism between them, but that
each should accord the other fair and
just treatment.

Senator John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky

Senator John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky,
whom most people have forgotten since
he was ousted from the Speakers chair
in the House of Representatives, is kept
busy just now trying to explain to his be-
trayed constituents his vote against the
silver bill. He has become very much
worried over the situation and is writing
letters to some gathering OF the faithful
every day. He might just as well save
himself the trouble though for the cleo
tion bill will become law long before
his term expires and his State will then
be reliably Republican. Mr.. Carlisle
after that will enjoy private life as well
as obscurity.

Declines to be a Candidate.
DENVER, Colo, July 3Ot

DENVER, Colo, July 3Oth, 1880.
Capt. j. j. Lambert, Editor Chieftain,
My DEAR CAPrAIN:-For many years
in fact ever since the Chieftain was first
published in Pueblo in 1868 you have
taken occasion to always refer to me in
the kindest way possible; at all times
have appreciated your kindness, but
more especially during the last two years
have been deeply grateful for what you
have said about me, and in my behalf;
during this time have taken what you
have said as the public expression Of my
neighbors and friends with whom have
lived for nearly quarter OF century;
neither you nor they can ever know how
near to my heart have been their univer-
sal acts of regard and sympathy.
You have seen fit, without solicitation,
to urge that again be nominated and
elected Secretary Of State. 1t has been
suggested that be a candidate for the
third time that might be vindicated. l
have tried to serve the people of this
State faithfully and well, and l am not
conscious Of ever having done anything
that requires vindication. / have not
been, am not now, and will not be can
didate for any office at our next State
Convention. The Republican party has
been very kind and generous to me. 1
am devoted to its principles and inter
ests. believe it can and will better ad-
minister the affairs of state than any
other organization. Without doubt my
candidacy would provoke an antagonism
that might, at least, tend to, in some
manner, injure the party; if such would
prove to be the fact, then owe it to the
Republicans of the State not to embar-
rass my friends by being candidate for
Office. 1 do not wish office. want quiet
and rest. want to help others. I will
not live long enough to repay the good
friends that have SO nobly stood by me
in Colorado, but shall ever esteem it a
great pleasure to serve them in any way
l can.
Very truly, your friend,
JAMES RICE.

Senator Vest, of Missouri, is again at
work waging a war of determination
against the protected industries 1t
seems likely that the war will succeed in
exterminating something, but it won't
be the protected industries, for as his
State is built up by protection it is very
likely to exterminate Mr.. Vest. If he
could succeed in stopping the mines and
factories of Missouri he would not only
destroy the magnificent cities OF which
she is so proud, but he would throw half
of her people out of employment and
make her large fields Of grain drug on
the market II this affected that State
alone, it would not matter much a. she
deserves it for sending pair like Vest
and Cockrell to the Senate. II it were
not for his colleague, Mr.. Vest would en-
Joy the reputation of being the most in
competent man in Congress.

Secretary Rice.

Hon. James Rice in card in the Chief
tain of Friday announces that he will
not be a candidate for Secretary Of State
or any other office. The denomination
and election of Mr.. Rice was not neces-
sary to his vindication from the attacks
of the Denver Republican. No person
in this State, who knows Mr.. Rice, or
who followed the malignant persecution
of the Republican, believes he ever
wronged the State of a penny. But lie
will travel league while truth is put
ting on its boots, and evidently realizing
that his enemies would continue their
unjust attacks even after he had received
the endorsement of his party, he places
party harmony above his own interest,
and serves notice on his friends that they
must not at this time make further use
OF his name in connection with any office.
1t is the action of good Republican and
a man conscious OF his own rectitude. II
his enemies think him crushed or with
out friends or following, they will discov-
er their error in tho future.

Con. PaImer's Forsetfuluess.

Gen. Palmer talks about the protective
tariff policy as if it were thing of recent
origin, now about to be first applied in
this country. He thrusts aside all the
accomplished facts which testify its ad-
vantages, and speaks only of what is 60
ing to happen in some future that he
evolves from his imagination. That is
his way of avoiding certain embarrassing
questions of a personal character. He
finds it convenient not to recollect that
the platform upon which Lincoln was
first elected had protective tariff plank
in it, and that the Republican party has
ever since maintained said doctrine. 1t
is not pleasant for Gen. Palmer to recall
this, because he was himself Repub-
lican during the years when the present
protective system was being established
and extended, and it then received his
hearty support There was no other man
in the country who spoke more positively
in favor of such method of encouraging
to earn just and fair wages. The tariff
duties were great deal higher in those
days than they are now, but he did not
hesitate to endorse and defend them. He
fought bravely in the Union army to de-
feat conspiracy which was designed to
promote the very theory with regard to
the tariff that he is now advocating. 1t
is no wonder, therefore. that he prefers
to treat the subject as if it were an en-
tirely new one.-Giobe- Democrat.
