Orchards in Old Mining Camps.

One of the curious results of the de-
cay of placer and hydraulic mining in
the foothill region is the development
of orchards where it was once thought
the only valuable thing the earth pro-
duced was gold. In Butte, 1uba Am
ador, Ell Dorado, Placer. Nevada, Ca
laveras, Stauislaus and Tuolumne-the
seat of the richest early placer mining
the chief industry now is fruit-grow-
ing. These steep foothills, which
were once looked upon rs worthless.
are now being planted to vines and
the choicest fruits. 1t is found that
this land, which has received for ages
the wash from the tops of the noun
tains, possesses some peculiar proper
ties in which the richer valley soil is
deficient. For choice European wine
grapes it is unsurpassed, and for all
kinds of fruits it is specially fitted, as
it gives flavor that can never be gain
ed on the irrigated land. An old miner
who has worked in any OF these coun-
ties fancies he is dreaming when he
reyisits his old haunts. When he left,
the places whore he had worked pre-
sented a good subject for Il picture of
the abomination of dcsOlaiion. The
hydraulic miner literally tore up the
surface of the earth and left rs COM
plete destruction in his path as an army
that intrenches itself against attack.
Wherever he worked hills were laid
low, and great unsi@htly pits yawned
where he removed the pay dirt clear
to the bed rock. in other places great
ugly heaps of gravel aud cobble stone
showed the fruits of his activity. Ma

The Tunnel VIII he Driven,

Some months ago the TRIBUNE called
the attention of its readers to a conver-
satlon had with Mr. A. F. Gndeke, of
Butler Valley, in reference to the pro-
posed tunnel to be driven to tap the
water in the Ebervale and Harleigh
mines. That the tunnel will be driven.

lowing, which we take from the SttHdaid,

Why Complain ?

There is question in our mind as to
whether workingmen are really iustifi-
able in complaining of the multiplicity
OF evils which affiict them, when they
have the remedy for the removal of all
these evils within their own grasp. In
the matter of legislation we see them in
different until the law-making power
has Disseminated unjustly against them;
even then no effort is made to remedy
the evil, except to growl and grumble at
the men who made the laws, while at
the very next election those very same
men, who have been cursed by them,
are again elected, only to complete the
iniquitous legislation which they began.
In view of the near assembling of the
state Legislature, it would be well for
our workingmen to turn their at
tention towards Harrisburg. There is
hardly session of the Legislature, dur
ing which, the screw of oppression does
not receive another turn, and during
which labor is not made to carry adj
dltional burdens for the benefit of the
non-producing classes. At every session
we see bills passed in the interest of
corporations, trusts and other monopolies.
while those presented for the benefit of
the laboring man are either pigeon-holed
or handicapped with amendments, max
ing them worthless Gf passed) for the
purpose which they were intended. No
wonder that workngmen complain, de-
prlVed as they are of every comfort calcu-
lated to make mankind happy; compelled
as they are, through poverty to drive their
little children into the breakers and
mines before they haye mastered tb.
alphabet; forced as they are under q
false, oppressive and rotten social svs-
TEN, created for their enslavement to he.
come the plant tools in the hands Of
monopoly. But should workingmen
complain when they have the power
and need but to apply the remedy?
The action of the next Legislature
will be watched with great interest
Both political parties came before th,
people at the late election with tb4
promise that if electeo "reform" would
be their motto in all future legislation
If the workingmen were true to them
selves and those who have the intelli
gence, manhood and pluck to fight th
battles OF labor, the obnoxious laws
which now bear so heavily upon them
would soon be erased from our statut,
books. But as long as workingmen ar,
constituted as they are to-day, they neec
expect but little from men who wouIc
otherwise be their friends.

The members of the borough coun-
Gil will be asked at the next meeting
to make an appropriation towards
paying the two night watchmen, who
have been engaged by the business
men of town, so that the system in
augurated by them can be carried out
more successfully. If any person
doubt the good results accruing from
it, let them stay out little late at
night and they can see for themselves
the change that has taken place inside
of month. The noise and disturb
ance accustomed by the rougher ele-
ment of our borough and surrounding
villages have been broken up.
Since the above was put in type We
learn that few of our business men
have refused to contribute any more,
thereby lessening the pay of the two
watchmen, so unless something is
done by the council at its next meeting
the system is likely to fall through.

A LAW has recently been passed by
Congress limiting the weight of pack
ages by mail at four pounds. Ex
press companies, of course, We're at
the bottom of it. The government
will lose and the express company will
gain by it. Also, the so called anti
lottery bill, passed by Congress and
approved by the president, is another
scheme by which this highly moral
administration cuts down the revenues
of the postofice department for the
benefit of the express companies
We don't take much stock in the NOR

The prosperity of Washington is strik-
ingly evidenced at the present time by
the number and character of the build
ings being erected in all quarters of it.
Whatever street may be travelled and in
whatever direction a course may be
taken, proofs of building enterprise soon
begin to appear. Costly and elegant
residences and substantial dwellings are
the order of the day. Our new lines Of
street railway give access to new terri
tory, and, accordingly, the suburbs of
the city are extending and rapidly filling
up with handsome villas. That this
spirit of enterprise is not lacking near
its business center is also shown by the
colossal structures now in course Of

- The probability of the conyening of

sion next spring is regarded in some
quarters almost as a certainty. Repre-
sentative Springer said Saturday that he

| BILE. 1t was certain, he said, if the Re
| publicans attempted to pass the Election
| bill, as that effort would be stcadfastly
resisted. The amount of work to be ac-
complished in the short session soon to
commence is very large, consisting of
many important bills side-tracked last
session by the tariff and other measures.
/ The Apportionment bill is to be consid-
1 cred, and a fight will he precipitated If
it is not made acceptable to the Demo
Gratis. The civil service investigation
report has not yet been acted upon and
will open the hood-gates of discussion.
| There will be Il wrangle over the census,
and an investigation of the alleged parti-
san manipulation of the census returns

WAsu1NGroN. Nov. 25. i


The last session of the Fifty-first Con
gress will begin at noon on Monday next.
From the 1st of December until the
fourth day of March there are only
ninety-five days. Deducting SUNDAYS,
Christmas and New Years day there re.
main only seventy-nine working DAYS
even if the unusual holiday recess bC
| abandoned. The session, although short
promises to be of unusual interest ant
! importance. On the calander are numer
Gus minor bills which are of particular in.
terest to one or more Senators, and all
Of them are likely to be productive OF
discussion should they reach that stage.
But whether they are passed or not
there are dozen appropriation bills
which must be enacted, or else an extra
session is necessary. The latter alterna.
| tive is not looked upon with favor by
| the more conservative Democrats, non
| bv the Republicans who are anxious tC
avoid an extra session because the Presi-
dent, with an abiding faith in the tariff
bill, wishes it to have a years fair trial
in order that the predicted era of pros
| perity may set in before the Democrats
/ get chance to touch the bill. A less
| important, though cogent reason, is a
disposition not to let the Democrats Sc
cure the numerous offices in the Capitol
until the last possible moment. How
far this desire to avoid an extra session
| will influence the future of the elections
| bill is not known. 1t is not unreasonable
| to suppose that the weight OF the admin
istration will be thrown in favor OF the
| bill, especially if it is true that Harrison
! is openly a candidate for denomination.
| 1t cannot now be authoritatively stated
/ that the Republicans will endeavor TO
! pass any more pension bills this session.
There are large number of bills of this
character still unacted upon, two of them,
the general arrearage, and per diem SER
vice, being especially far-reaching and
costly. Although it would seem as if
enough had been here outlined to keep
both House and Senate busy without
considering tariff changes, there are two
other matters which are sure to consume
more or less time. The first of these is
the Donnelt Apportionment bill, meas
ure framed by "A Republican caucus and
regarded by the Democrats with sus-
picion and open enmity, and the second
is the free coinage bill, which the silver
men are determined to force if possible.
All these things-elections bill pensions,
appropriations, silverand apportionment
Will give enough Occupation 10 Cul-
gress, even if each day is spent in scri-
Gus application to work. If Speaker
Reed, however, endeavors to make it
interesting for the Democrats, the latter

and this will present side which will
furnish many entertaining newspaper
paragraphs, beside delaying the progress
of legislation. Although the outlook is
