Nevada County Democracy.

At the head of our editorial col umns to-day we hoist the Democratic ticket of Nevada county, which will remain hoisted until the first Monday in September.
 The ticket is composed of honest, competent and worthy men, thor ough Democrats, who will be elected and after election will reflect honor upon themselves, their county and their party.
 Every man on the ticket is emi- nently fitted for the position to which he has been nominated, and we be- lieve a glorious victory awaits them.
 The county Democratic convention which met at Prescott last Saturday was composed of the best men in the county honest, sturdy Democrats, who have the best interests of the county at heart, and we congratulate the convention upon its county ticket-a better ticket could not have been selected.
 An excellent county executive committee was appointcd, with J, NJ. Denman chairman, and this com. mittee will see that the ticket is glorously elected. - Texarkans Democrat.

l rain carries four mail coaches anl parlor car for passengers, running through to Milwaukee, some 300 miles. It is always swift runner making i5 miles per hour. That night it got bclated some way on first part of run, and having to make con ncction at Milwaukee ran faster than usual to make up time. Train does not stop at small stations. Knowing we were going at high rate of speed we asked conductor Duesenbury about it; he replied, "we're making up time, about D miles per hour. " Taking out our watch we began keep 1 ing "time," from station to station, and ere we reached Oconomowoc, found it going at GO miles per hour. Fast whirling along, though smooth l ly, at dead of night, while our fellow man lay in quiet repose-station af ter station appear and quickly go out of sight like dissolving views. A short stop and quick start from Oconomowoc, engine leaps as fleet as the wind, each exhaust sounding like a small explosion, until they be- come faster, sounding like the wings of partridge. Last stop here be- 1 fore reaching Merrill Park, Milwau- kee, 30 miles distant. Swftcr and yet swifter we glide, the car swaying from side to side of track. but without other jostling, and conductor tells Us he has made it before in 2S minutes. and thinks it will be done l tonight. We slow up at Merrill Park, and sure enough the 20 miles were made in 2S minutes. and we reached the Union depot shortly af- terward, making connection for Chi cago and St. Louis. It is needless to say this road has one of the finest road beds and best equipment in America, to maintain such speed and we were told that it was con- mon occurrence for the Fast Mail. "
 Made connections all the way through, reaching home Sunday on cannon ball.
 Wish we had the space to describe the fine farming regions passed over in Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota, and the awe-inspiring mountain scenery admlred from the ear win dow; saw the famous dells of the Wisconsin river in passing. Corn was just beginning to peep from the ground in that region-a backward spring and too much rain.
 But enough, we drop our pencil can no longer dwell on the pleasant experiences of the trip.

THE PETERSBURG BARONS.

Iron ranks with wood as an article of universal use. Every person uses it in many of it's various forms. When it is highly taxed by the Fed eral government there is no possibil- ity of escaping the taxation. Under the tariff It becomes part of the price of every article from pocket-knife to locomotive, and under the same law every member of the public with out exception must pay tribute to those who control the iron market. The present headquarters of that control in the United States is Pitts burg. and into the coffcrs of i'm itcd class in that city goes the trib- ute of the whole country from Maine to Oregon. The Commercial-Ga- zette gives a list of @ residents of PiLtsburg who under the operations of the iron tariff have accumulated fortunes ranging from $500, ,000 to Sl l,000, ,00O, and supplements it with this roll of the pittsburg Iron Pccragc:

High Toned People.

There seems to us to be a vast diff ference between high-toned people, as they are frequently termed, and good people as they are commonly found in our country villages. To be high-toned one must of necessity dress above the average, be blessed with little more capital than the common people, and above all things, drop into the boat that is the heavi- est laden as it joins the popular tide, To be good without being high-toned is very easy matter, but to be high toned without any redeeming quail ity to back it is very common thing. People whose characters are as black as the reccsscs of a cavern, are folded into the arms of society like the innocent babe to it's mother s breast, because of their surplus only, while the poor mill girl and the tired labOrer are not known in the pleas ures of life simply because of their occupation. The most sickcning sight that it is our misfortune to wit ness is the country swell, whether male or female, who would pose as one of the shining lights of society did their tickle brain furnish them with sufficient knowledge to know how to act. It is not high-toned or good breeding to snub others be- cause of their station in life. As brilliant gems of character as the world holds lie beneath the shabby clothes of the working classes, aud as pure hearts as beat within the htl- man breast are often found among the ones whose position is one of toll and privation. Civility is virtue and belongs to all stations and con  ditions of life. Good manners are q part of good breeding, but we are sorry to say there arc those who arc possessed of neither, and whose society ought to be repulsive even to themselves. How many of the "lofty" would refuse the almighty dollar from the hands of the very people whom they try to look down upon; Not any, we assure you, ana the soft words and tender caresses effervesce with love and solicitations until the prize is secured. - Mere dith News.

No doubt these members of the upper ranks of the iron nobility, as well as those who are now engaged in raising themselves to an equal ele- vation, have many amiable qualities. It IS quite amiable in Mir. Carnegie to give away loose million or so every now and then in more or less consistent accordance with his thcO- " that he has to die pretty soon and cannot carry off this money with him ; but other people have to die, too, and before they come to the time they ought to have the privilege of ridding themselves of their surplus in their own right, without having it taken from them and turned over to the iron barons as a wherewithal to essay the purchase of paradise.
 A great part of the money which lSuTcS III tltSt lStS Dl lllllltlSt Pittsburg fortunes, and q hundred fold more than appears there, has been taken wrongfully from the West in the last 20 years. It has been tribute paid on the mechanics tools, on the farmers blow, on the screws in coffin lids, on the nails in cradles, on the steel rails, on iron of the rail road train used in moving Western crops, making crops cheaper to the producer and dcarcr to the consumer. 1t has been collected in many ways, all unjust, all amountinling to rob bery under form of law.
 A tariff which would give any sober and industrious iron baron tribute to the extent of million In his life time might be borne, but tha, which gives the Carnegies s25, ,000,- GOO in few years is intolerable. - -T St. Louis Republic.

in her ninety-eight year. On occount
of her great age she receives a pension
OF thirty dollors ~ month, which is
more than that received by any other

OF them decreases every year, and
but few will probably be left Mt the
