JONES OF NEVADA.
The Foundation of tho Senator'S wealth
Laid by n Grub stake.

A<oAa W ~ 0ruD
When John p. Jones, now United
States Senator and many times q mill
ionairc, was keeping grocery store at
Tuolumne, Cal, in the days of gold
hunting one of his patrons was a miner
"a poor prospector who, like most of
his kind, was always broke" One day
no called on Jones. Say, Jones, I
think Two got bonanza in that claim
OF minc," said the poor miner.
Jones smiled. IIc had heard these
stories before. He knew how great ex-
pectations were frequently never
realized. limo, labor and money were
usually wasted on what looked like
something rich but that developed into
snares, SO Jones merely smiled.
Its big thing" persisted his
visitor, and he proceeded to explain
what the claim was and his reasons for
being so sanguino. After several hours
talk the miner asked for an advance of
$1,000 with which to buy tools and food.
Jones dcmurred. a thousand dollars
was big enough sum, saved, rs it had
been, with much trouble and labor.
But after all 81, 900 cut no figure in COM
parison with the profits of good minc.
Jones finally told the miner he would
see what could be done.
After nightfall and after the China
men employed in the neighborhood had
taken their departure, Mr.. Jones
allowed the embers of his fire to die
out. When satisfied no one was about
he scrapcd away the ashes, raised tho
stone on which the fire was built, and
weighed out the necessary gold dust to
mako the $1,000. These little pre-
cautions were always taken in that re-
gion, whore even robbers were more
plentiful than fortunes.
Tho tools were bought, Jones lend
ing the money and the miner promising
him one-third of the profits of tho mine.
For months tho solitary miner labored,
but he did not Strike tho lead. lie grow
wan and hollow-cyrd, and occasionally
dropped in TO see Jones. Tho latter had
by this time abandoned all hope Of ever
seeing his money again.
There's no gold up there he would
inform the exhausted miner.
Yes, there is insisted the latter,
''if could only strike it
Affairs were now becoming desperate
with the hopeful but pcnnilcss man.
One day he called on Jones, and, after
coughing apologctically, asked Tor somo
meal and bacon. He knew he would DO
successful eventually with his search,
but provisions were out Jones smiled
again. 'It's like throwing it in rat
hole" he chccrfully observed. as he dug
out q side of bacon and gathered up u
sack of corn-mcal for his luclllcss part
ner. For four months nothing was
heard of the old follow, and Jones pre-
slmcd he had either gone away or died
at his post up the gulch. Both SUPPOSE
tons were erroneous. The miner dashed
into the store one day irradiatcd with
joy. He had really struck his bonanza.
The minc was sold for So, 600, 900, and,
faithful to his promise, tho honest
miner gave Jones third of it. SEN
ator Jones prosperity dated from that
time.

sentativcs not long ago, because of a
publication in 4 st. Louis paper init
mating that he had been intoxicated on
the floor of tho House. He said: 81 am
not now drinking man, although I
have been very hard drinking man in
the past, at rare intervals. Now if tho
correspondent of that paper had sent
out word for my people to read that 1
had committed forgery, or broken a
bank, or burned down house, or MUIR
durcd a man, or committed any other
crime, would not have paid any atten-
ton to it, nor even sued him for libel.
None of my people would believe any
thing of that kind about me. But, when

drunk every man, woman and child in

be found to have grown more than was expected, but eastern states less. The middle states and Ohio will begin to show the shrinkage which the New Eng. land states exhibited in 1880, as New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Mary land and Ohio have had heavy western emigration in the last ten years. Western cities will be disappointed, with here and there an exception. This is the result of almost every census. Western states, particularly those west of the Mississippi, will surpass expectation. The south is an enigma It is expecting a great increase. It is doubtful If the seaboard shows such an one. The region between the Appalachians and the Mis- sissippi and Texas is certain to do so. This is also true of Texas. The four leading cities of the country will be New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Brooklyn. In 1880 Brooklyn was bigger than Chicago. Ii will be a bitter disap pointment to Chicago if it is now. Bos- ton was the fifth city in lSS0 and St, Louis the sixth St. Louis expects to lead now, but the chances favor Boston The grand aggregate will reach 61000,- GOO if the birth rate has been as high since 1880 as from 1870 to 1880.

(Continued from first pdqe.)


 A communication was read from the United German Trades protesting against last Sundays resolution of the c. l.. U., not to allow the saloonkeep- CTS union to participate ill the parade The letter expresses regret that the (. L. U. allowed itself to be influenced by D. A. 220 K, of L., an organization that Is secretly working for the destruction of open trades unions and constantly disregards the solidarity of labor. As such it has been proven by its action in the pool beer boycott. the pool bread and yeast boycott and on other occa. sions. The intimation that the United German Trades embrace scab unions is an absolute falsehood. The organization of the saloonkeepers was indorsed by the c. L. U., as desirable i'll the interest of the movement. If the (. l.. U. should persist in it's position, the United Ger man Trades would have to decline to participate in the parade. In all matters however concerning the common cause they will as heretofore be always ready to join hands with the c. L. U.
 The communication was referred to the Parade Committee with full power to act.

anced the cash OF the Postal Bureau.
While one member OF the committee
called off the cash, suddenly sees was
added TO the gold. We were dumbiound-
ed. No explanation was made until the
Postmaster called us upstairs and told US
that there had been this shortage one
day when the head clerk was very busy
and unwell. He though, he must have
paid the amount, entering il in the de-
positor's pass book and the wind have
blown the check off his file. 5000 pass
books were called in. but the error was
not found. Then an expert was paid
siu 10 examine the books, but they were
found alright. We claimed that this $40
ought not TO have been paid by the
Government. IL appeared 10 the com
mittee that there was an attempt to con-
ceal facts from the committee. The POST
master was angry because we had not
given him any notice.

against them. They were intelliSen.

IN that at all. The hon. Noble (Macfar-

marks he has, If he were a practical
road maker. There is great deal said
about these vouchers OF the Road Boards.
The speaker went on to explain the
difficulty OF obtaining pay vouchers from
gangs OF Cinnamon, who were changed
every day. Doubtless the late Ministers
had erred as the Finance Committee
most certainly had. Which Of us here
had not. Some charity ought to be ex-
ercised. and We ought not TO condemn q
man as rascal merely because he hap
pens to differ from us.
Noble Muller said as to the abuse oil
power by the Road Boards, great deal
might have been said by the committee
which was not, Tor the report would have
been too long. What they objected Il
was the committee paying sometimes 4
dollar, sometimes soc. per day.
