COMING AGAIN.

Owing TO the large anG increasing
practice in this community, DR.. Ham,
of New York, has consented to
make a return visit to Mineral Point,
Tuesday, Jan. II. The doctor has
consulted large number in this
community, and placed under treat
ment those whom he thought he
could cure or greatly benefit. The
secret of his success is that he is
from the great hospitals Of New
York city. He also has the latest
and most improved instruments for
examining aud treating all chronic
diseases. DR.. Ham finds out the
original cause of the trouble; and
from that follows up its effects, and
tells his patients their real condition.
Consultation free, on the above date,
at the u. 5. llotel.

TIE party who started the report
that the railroad business in and
out of Mineral Point for 1889, indie
pendent of that of the zinc works,
was barely onehalf Of what it was
during the year 1888, should be
throttled, and with considerable
severity, too. Hearing this rumor a
TRIBUNE representative went to rail
road headquarters to ascertain just
how the business for the years 1888
and 1889 compared. The exact
figures were given in response to
inquiry, and are here placed before
the public The difference in the
two years was S3,423.5l, but the
railroad officials books show that
these figures are in favor Of 1889,
and they further showed that the
increase was not due to an increase
in the zinc works traffic, as that

HOW MUCH, PRAY?
Questionable Operations Which Will Pay
Well Those on the Inside.

objectionable Operations Which VIII Pay
Well Those on the inside.
It is fair question. How much do
Secretary Window. James G. Blaine,
Napoleon Mckinley, Boss Rsed and
Matt Quay expect to make out of the
present policy of the United States
Government? Are they On the ground
floor, as usual?
Money is worth to the Wall street
usurers nowadays all the way from one
quarter to one-half of one per cent per
day. 1t has been loaned at interest as
high as two hundred per cent per an
mum. Mr.. WINDOWS bond purchases for
the purpose of leasing" this situation
are made almost without exception of
the men who are charging two hundred
per cent. for money. The money that
they get from the Treasury they dole
out to spectators in Wall street at the
rate of one-half of one per cent. per day.
How much are the Republican officials
who are on the inside making by the
operation?
Another big swindle is in progress.
In anticipation of the Mckinley bills
enactment the big importers and others
have been making heavy purchases OF
foreign goods in advance of consump-
ton for the purpose of selling them In
monopolized market. They have
bought under the present tariff. They
will sell under the Mckinley tariff.
These goods are now in bond, and in
the ordinary course the duties must be
paid soon. The spectators therefore
ask their friends. Window, Blaine, Nc
Kinley, Reed and Quay, to add an
amendment to the Mckinley bill per
hitting them to postpone the pavment
of duties for six months or a year. In
other and palmer words, they ask the
Government to furnish them the CAPT
tai or credit necessary to carry on a big
deal designed to beat the Government
itself out of revenue and to Cypress the
people with high prices. How much
are the embarrassing statesmen going
to make out of this operation?
There is ''fat' in both OF these things
for somebody and perhaps for every
body connected with the corrupt and
wasteful regime now in power at Wash
ington. The question is: How much?-

LETTER-WRITER BLAINE.

lingo Jim Setting His Sails to Catch the
Breeze of Popular Favor.
Secretary Blaine has written another
letter to Boston gentleman upon the
subject of reciprocity. As it bore no
burning" postscript the receiver felt
justified in giving its contents to the
public. The views of Secretary Blaine
are enunciated at considerable length.
but the letter contains nothing essen
TALLY new. It is simply proposition
for reciprocal free trade with Latin
America and an exclusion policy toward
other countries. 1t is urged by the rec
iprocity adherents that free trade with
Central America would prove beneficial
to tho con- No cree of both that country
and tho United States In other words
free trade would benefit both countries
concerned in the interchange of COM
modities- But if freer trade with Cen
trail America at the south would benefit
this country, how about freer trade with
Canada at the north? The protection
lists urge that the protective theory
deals with conditions and not
with boundaries. but with this
view closer trade relations with
Canada could be logically defended
before free trade with Latin America
could be ad vocated. And this theory
of conditions" itself seems to be very
loosely constructed. If the Vermont
farmer is benefited by exchanging his
products freely with his neigh bors in
New Hampshire on the east and in New
York on the west, why would not he be
equally benefited by exchanging them
with his northern neighbors across the
Canadian line?
The reciprocity policy of Secretary
Blaine is partial surrender of the pro-
lection forces It is makeshift. an
emergency policy advocated by one of
the shrewdest of the Republican man
ayers to tide his party over crisis
which he is far-sighted enough to per
ceive. There CAL be no installing the
Arfft of public sentiment toward tariff
reform, and freer trade relations The
Maine statesman, seeing nothing but
party defeat in the Republican high
tariff views Of the Mckinley school, has
boldly cut loose and set his sails to
catch the eresss Of popular favor.-Chi-

4 Habit Calculated to InJure the Morals

Is lying National vice of such pleas.
ant mien that it merits Government pro-
lection? This question is suggested by
the deliberate falsification of Repre-
sentative Kennedy's speech, which has
been done under authority of the lower
House of Congress The Congressional
Record purports to be a verbatim re-
port OF the proceedings of Congress;
and. in order that it may be accurate,
efficient stenographers are employed at
big salaries to take down every word
that is uttered during the deliberations
of that body.
And yet the speech which is pub
Hshed in the Congressional Record is
not the speech which Mr.. Kennedy de-
livered on the floor of Congress. nor is
it the speech which the shorthand re-
porters took down Mr.. Kennedy's
speech consisted mainly in an arraicn-
ment OF Senatorial courtesy" under
which he claimed all sorts of corruption
were cloaked. And yet he now seeks
refuge under a so-called courtesy of
the House, which permits him to pub
lish bare-faced lie in giving to the
world speech he never delivered.
There isn't hairbreadth's difference
between the evils resulting from Sena-
torial courtesy and the lower House
courtesy. The former cloaks corrup.
ton; the latter is refuge for lies. II
is about time that both were abolished
and that all Congressional proceedings
were conducted on a square plan.
If member of Congress gets up on
the floor of either house and makes an
ass of himself the fact ought to appear
on the record The printed Congress
ional record is intended for the use OF
the public, and not for the exclusive
privilege of the Congressman. The
very knowledge that his remarks were
to be reported and printed verbatim
would be an incentive to Congress
man to behave himself. As it is, he can
indulge in all sorts Of wild speeches on
the floor and then go to the public
printers Office with an afterthought
speech and have the Congressional REQ
ord make him say very decorous things
The example set by those high in au-
thority always has a bad effect on the
masses. If Congressman is permitted
to lie under Government patronage the
body of the people are in danger of be-
ing infected with the idea that lying
is respectable. For these very good
reasons we insist that Congress shall
return to the early virtues of the Re-
public and require all of its proceedings
to be accurately and truthfully printed.

to his twin sister. The lady questioned
him eagerly about his infantine recol-

limit he could recall nothing, and with
sigh OF disappointment she relin-
pushed the hope which had flashed out
for moment on the shadow OF her life.

ter's friend was in danger, quickly in
ferred that Marden was involved in it.

him, and he resolved to seek him with

was pacing back and forth. Ariel de-
cided not to disturb him. thus avoisiing
the annoyance Of being challenged
for the countersign and subsequently
escorted to the guard house; he there
