Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch

ALEXANDRIA. Va, September q, 1890.
II is said that the reports Of Hume's
strength in Alexandria county, his home,
are very much exaggerated-that instead
OF having over 20 per cent. of the Demo-
cratic vote of the county. he has not one
half of it. and 10y the time OF the election
the greater portion Of that he now has
will have fallen away from him.
A strong protest was made against the
action Of the so-called Democratic meet
ing that refused tosend delegates from the
county to the convention that nominated
General Lee. and that those who ran the
meeting made no mention of the protests
made in the reports of the meeting spread
about.
There are not over two hundred white

andria county. The negroes outnumber

THREE-Foor VEIN OF NICKEL.
Good Showing of the Adrian and
Grass Widow.

Good Showing of the Adrian and
Grass Widow.
r. II. Kemp Thursday received q
letter from party in the Kootenai
country stating that an old miner
had discovered three-foot vein of
nickel ore running through the
Adrian and Grass Widow claims
owned by Mr.. Kemp and located on
CraWord's bay
These claims Were taken up the
latter part of May last, and the value
attached to them was op account of
the great quantities of galena silver
ore exposed on the surface and the
immense iron groupings covering
the veins.
No one In this city appears to
know the commercial value of nickel
but an inquiry has been sent to San
Francisco to ascertain this fact.
q. NJ. Fassett, the chemist, states
that nickel ores that carry 10 per
cent. of that metal are very valuable.
This beautiful white metal has
been found in the Victoria mine
below Nelson, and about thirty-tive
miles from the point where 1t Is re-
ported to exist on Crawford's bay.
Mr.. Kemp will have some sam
pies of the ore soon and have them
analysed so as to determine whether
they carry this metal TO any extent
or not.

THE YEARS HOP CROP.
Ton Million Pounds Raised Despite
the General Shortage.

The hop crop on the Sound this
year, says the Seattle Times, at the
present prices paid, will amount to
SO, 200, 900 gross and $4,000, 900 net
profit to the growers,
In the district there is over 200
acres in hops and the average yield
are 1000 pounds to the acre. This
will make grand total yield for
the year of about 100000 pounds,
and the present rate paid for them
being 32 cents per pound, will bring
the total amount up to SO, 200, 900 if
they are sold at once.
The cost Of putting hops into the
bale, including the picking and
care of them during the season, is o
cents per pound, which Will leave
net profit of % cents per pound,
This, In the aggregate, for 10000
600 pounds shows q net earning Of
81, 100000. The balance, $500, 900, is
paid for labor, and the greater por-
ton of this amount finds it's way
into the general circulation Of

for tho reason that for number OF
years past the price has not exceed

the last few years brought 38 cents
per pound, but the impression now
Is that the price has got about as

From advices received, 1t IL learned

WILD ROSE PRAIRIE.
After Long and ANNOYING Delay
the Settlers Can File Upon
Their Homes.
Two Townships Long Improved
Have Been Declared Open
to Entry.

Notice was given by Register
Strong Saturday that township ~
north, ranges 81 east, 3s east, 80 east
and A east, and township 29 north,
ranges Al east. AZ east and A east
will be open for fling upon on and
after October 8, 1890.
This land embraces Wild Rose
prairie, which has long been settled,
but upon which settlers have been
unable to file because of erroneous
surveys which caused 1t to be with
drawn from the market. The in
ability to get title to their lands
has been great hardship to the
settlers there, as well us to their
neighbors on the east in Stevens
county, and permission to make
filing will benefit them greatly.
Township %, range AZ, which lies
along the Little Spokane, has also
been settled tor several years, ana
almost all of the land affected by the
notice Is taken up.
Mr.. Strong has been using his
best endeavors for several years past
to have this land put on the market,
and all are well pleased that his
efforts have ut last been crowned
with success.
1t Is estimated that this will in
crcnse the taxable property of Spo-
kane county at least 500, 900.

[Rennell Rodd in Murray's Magazine. !
This Is the place--the mountain bay
Is wild and stern and grand,
AS when the Lion held the way
That barred his mother land.
Long years and change and earthquake
shock
Have wrought upon the scene.
Where once the sea waves Tapped the
rock
Are meadow lands grown green;
But Oeta still looms vast and gray
To hide the setting sun,
And still the mountains bar the way,
And every wey but one:.
The sulphur springs still fume and
flow
Along the rough hillside,
And far-off Othyrs yelled in snow
Sees where the Spartan died.
There Is a spirit haunts the place,
Where mighty deeds were dared
Though time and change have lett no
trace,
And not a grave be spared;
And climbing up the grassy hill
Where Sparta's lion stood,
The heart still answers to the thrill,
That marks the hero mood.
And as read the page again,
That quickens from the dust
The tale OF those three hundred men
Who died to keep their trust,
knew the fire was not yet lost
That nerved my younger age
The shadow of an eagle crossed,
And ieil along my page!

THE WASHINGTON CENTRAL.
A Pretty Mormon Back. Out,

A batch of eighty Mormon immi-
grants, tho fruits of several weeks pros
elyting by Mormon elders in England,
arrived at New York the other day by
the Guioa line steamship Wisconsin on
their way to Utah. One of the converts
was Elizabeth MCGEE, of Nottingham n
pretty girl OF II years, whose fnther has
been good Mormon In Utah for the
past fourteen years. During the eleven
days that the Wisconsin was making the
trip across Eliza had time to think over
the new religion which she had en-
braced. When she got to tho barge
office she had made up her mind that
sine did not want to be a Mormon after
all, and she told the inspectors so. She
said she wanted to return to her grand
mother at Nottingham. She was ac-
cordingly detained" at the barge office
and will go back to England on the
Wisconsin's return trip.

fruitless efforts to obtain work.

knights of Labor, about 140 strong

pressing the sentiment of that body.

1T WAS A SUCCESS.
Fifteen Hundred Working
men Took Part.
The SPEECHES AT THE PARK
II Took the Procession Thirty
Minutes to Pass q Given
Point.

There marched through the streets
of Spokane Monday an army
more worthy Of the historians pen
or the artists brush than the army
that followed William the Conquer
or from Normandy to the shores of
merry England.
1t was labor's army--the army
that has built the new Spo-
kane, an army Of peace and
recreation, and not of war and pill
lage.
And this army of workingmen
did not look very much as If 1t were
being ground down by the "iron
heel of OPPRESSION" or crushed into
poverty and hunger by the grasp
ing capitalists, and all that sort of
buncombe that the cheap politicians
indulge In. Its members, on the
contrary, looked quite as we'll fed
and good deal more contented,
and jolller, than the capitalist and
banker. They all presented an ap-
pearance of having eaten very
good breakfast, with still better
appetite. There were many young
men In the ranks, and while many
of them wore white and blue over
alls, to show how proud they were
of their honorable calling, and how
little they cared for imported cloth
ing, their white collars and cuffs,
stylish hats and neat ties, gave a
dressy appearance and indicated
that the workingman can afford a
good deal better clothes than scores
of young physicians and lawyers,
and many Of them are certainly bet
ter dressed than some of Spokane's
bankers.
Some of these years few of these
young men will wake up and find
themselves capitalists. That is the
way things are done In America.
Most of our wealthy men were poor
few years ago, while the rich
boys who carried gold watches and
rode ponies are mainly hanging
OH the ragged edge and waiting for
something to turn up. When these
young men become wealthy they
will look back, just as nine-tenths OF
the rich men of this city look back,
and they will take pride In the rec
ollection that they helped to rebuild
the burned city.
Altogether Labor day was graf
flying success. Some of the agita.
tors entirely missed the spirit Of the
OCCASION and tried to stir up anger
and bitterness, and the cheap and
dangerous politicians threw out
feelers, but their efforts were not a
gllttering success. or course this
was to be expected. The profess
sional politicians are as greedy after
votes as the miser after dollars, and
of course they will hang around Or
ganizations of labor where there are
several thousand votes. When the
workingman goes to the polls,
though, he does his own thinking.
He is not charmed with the at
tempts of the politicians to organize
his vote and cast 1t in any single
direction. This has been demon
strated in the past, and 1t will be
demonstrated again.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
Western Star Division Uniform
Rank Observes Its Anniver-
sary Sunday.
An Excursion to Chatcolet the
Event OF the Day-A Large
Party.

Tho first grand excursion Of West
ern Star Division, Uniform Rank,
X. of p, was held ut Chatcolct grove
on Cmur d'Alene lake ON Sun
day and both from II social aud
financial point of view was n success.
Tho excursion train, which consist
cd OF nine coaches, left tho Union
Pacific station at $40 o'clock.
The day was delightful one.
The morning was rather cool, but
the atmosphere was pure and brac-
ing. The rain Of the previous even
ing, while 1t contributed largely to
the comfort of the party by laying
the dust, no doubt kept large
number of the more timorous people
from attending the picnic, and ~ Is
probable that had the weather not
interfered there would have been no
less than u thousand excursionists.
The Second regiment band accom-.
panied the excursion and discoursed
music from the platforms of the
stops, and played at the grove
throughout the afternoon. After a
four hours ride through pictur-
esque farming country, the grove
was reached at II O'clock. The
crowd scattered as fast as the train
unloaded, and immediate prepara.
tions were made for luncheon.
Chatcolet Is situated at the head
of Cpur d'Alene lake, some sixty
three miles from Spokane Falls.
The scenery Is grand, and boat
ride up the st. Joe river presents q
spectacle that is really beautiful.
Through the courtesy of Colonel
3. Scott, the REVIEW reporter was
invited to partake of a boat ride
up the river. The depth of the
river Is forty feet according to gov
ernment survey, and the current is
but one mile an hour. This Is due
to the level condition of the country.
The banks of the river are not more
than eight feet, and every year they
overflow, which produces meadow
of everlasting production.
In many places on each side Of the
river acres and acres of white clover,
timothy and red top were seen.
At 5:30 the Sir knights and their
friends lett the grove, returning To
the city at 0:40, tired but happy, and
elated because their first excurs on,
which will probably be followed.by
Others, had proved u decided sue
cess.
The following committee Of ar
rangements are deserving of much
credit for the able and successful
manner in which the excursion was
managed: Colonel G. s. Scott,
chairman, Captain james A. Long,
j. u. Hamilton, Harry Baer, III. X.
Harrison and j. +. Warren. Perry
Griffin, the genial passenger agent
of the road, was along looking after
the welfare OF the party.
On Thursday evening next the
members of the Westminster Pres
byterian church, Rev. PhiliI
Jameson, pastor, will enjoy a lawr
party and social at the residence o
Mrs. Il. A. Jameson on East River
side avenue, who has kindly donated
the use of her large grounds anC
residence for the pleasure of the
congregation.
