is it very likely that Tammany will be able
to give Flower $4,000, though it will give
something very like it. So, nearly all the
chances are for Flower and against Fassett.

reader who is observant of New Y ork poll

full OF surprises, and that often what the
Deholder regards as a desperate neck and
neck rush down the quarter stretch, is
merely the by play Of a race sold in adj

United States alone is fifty-fve pounds. OF
the worlds production of sugar in 1889, three
ffths, OF 100000 tons, was manufactured
from beets. In 1860 the proportion was only
into the United States now aggregate 10000
tons.
1t will be seen from these figures that there
is ample encouragement in the amount of beet

The death of Parnell has done nothing for
the cause of the Irish people, except to
make the hatred between the two factions
more bitter. Nothing but an overwhelming
Gladstone majority in the next Parliament
can now be likely to benefit Ireland.

inently that one OF the first symptoms of
the political revolution in Virginia which
commenced i'll 1879, was the burning him
in efligy by readjuster gathering. 1t was
his strong, unyielding, uncompromising
character that attracted their attention to
him more than anything else, for at that
date he had seen little of public life. He

having resigned his commission in the
army and retired to his farm some time
before it broke out, but he was one Of the

enter the service of Virginia. 1t was his
soldier he rose to be a Major eneral of

skillful handling of the bodies of troops en-

lips of every civilized nation of the world,
Commodore Duncan n. Ingraham of South
Carolina, was the U. S. officer in charge of
the brig st. Louis in 1852 in the Mediter-
ranean Sea. This nation was hardly fifty
years old then, and older nations were slow
to recognize the rights of American citi-

ted States and become naturalized c1ti-
zen. On visit to his native place the
Austrian government had seized him on
the claim of unrendered military service
still due, and had put him on an Austrian
man-of-war as a prisoner. Commodore
Ingraham, whose vessel was lying near by,
demanded his release as an American citi-
zen, gave the Austrian officer two hours to
send Koszta aboard the st. Louis. and
cleared his own ship for action. The pris-
oner was released and sent Oh board. When
the civil war came, the Commodore, then
nearly sixty years of age, resigned and en-
tered the Confederate service. Since the
close OF the WAL he has been living quietly
at Charleston, South Carolina.

got to the stone house left the county road

miners who still had their reyovers in
their hands, were summoned to surrender
and replied by firing on the posse. Boiling

CGUR D'ALENE RAILROADS.
How the Mineral Wealth Has Broush
the Iron Horse.

How the Mineral Wealth Has Brought
the Iron Horse.
The excursionists were perhaps as much
impressed with the railway facilities in the
Ceur d'Alenes as with anythingIelse seen on
the trip. A majority of them recalled the
first Occur d'Alene excitement in 1888, when
the discovery of gold on the North Fork
caused a stampede to that country, not
only from Montana, but from Washington,
Colorado, Oregon n even from
them remembered the trip made via the
Northern Pacific to Thompson Falls and
then the journey over almost impassable
trails to the new Eldorado. How different
1t is now. True, they were in the South
Fork country instead of the North Fork,
but it is the Coeur d'Alene mining region.
Less than five years ago the first dirt was
thrown for a railroad in the country in
which are Wardner, Wallace, Burke and
the other towns. D. G.. Corbin was the
man at the head of the enterprise, and be-
fore he had finished it he had a narrow
guage railroad from the head of navigation
on the Occur d'Alene river TO Mullan, a dis
lance of forty miles. The Union Pacific
followed, and now it has 100 miles,
reaching every camp. Later the
Northern Pacific purchased the Corbin
narrow nag line and used it as its
Occur d'Alene connection at Spokane. The
route was a long ono around and the peo-
pie wanted better connections with the
east and particularly with Montana. The
Union Pacific had already surveyed a line
from Missoula to Wallace. but the Northern
lumped in n constructed the line from
De Smet, thus giving every camp in the
Ceor d'Alene country direct connections
over two transoontinental lines with the ca st
and west. The question now naturally
arises: admitting the great development
OF the country without any,, or
ions, what will the record be with two
great roads contending for business, and
anxious to aid i'll every way the develop
msnt of the country? The ore traffic is one
of the best the railroads have, and to hold
it and increase it neither the Northern or
the Ceur d'Alenes every facility.

They Are All Good Ones,

As told in the dispatches to THE INDIE
PENDENT, Thursday morning the excursion
lists visited Burke, Gem and Frisco. All
these towns are in the sameg ulch, along the
line of the road. Burke is the ~llveliest and
largest, but none of them are asleep. In
the mines along Canyon creek there are
employed about 1000 men. Alarge number
of them are married, and it is these, their
families, and the business they draw. which
makes these three towns. There are gen.
eral stores at each, both for the residents
and the numerous ~prospectors who fit out
there to continue the search for the treas
ures still hidden i'll the Occur d'Alene
mountains. While none of them can ever
possibly become very large. as there is no
room for them to spread, yet the prosperity
now shown is but another proof of the
wealth of the Occur d'Alenes.
Mullan also is a good town, and close to
it are located the Hunter and Sullivan
mines, whose total output is forty tons Of
concentrates daily, employing 100 men.
The Mullan Tribune is one of the best pa
pers in the county, and never neglects an
opportunity to call attention to the re-
sources of the country of which it is the rep
resentative.

THE GREAT SCENIC ROUTE.
Wondrous Ride over the Mountains From
De Smet to Wallace,

Wondrous Ride over the Mountains From
De smet to Wallace.
In constructing the railroad from De
Smet to Wallace, Idaho, the Northern
Pacific railroad accomplished two great
things; 1t obtained direct connection with
a rich mining section, aud it secured at
the same a line which for grand mountain
scenery is the equal of any road on this
side of the Canadian line. To those who
have been over the road from Helena to
Elkhorn it may be said that the latter an
proaches 1T IN some degree, but the route of
the Rio Grande over Marshall Pass more
nearly describes it. For several m1les ont
OF De Smet the run is through the valley of
the same name, where there are thousands
OF acres OF fine bottom land under c%ultiyn-
Ton. Inc mountain sides are bare of
thickly wooded. When tho Missoula
river Is reached, the timber begins to grow
thicker, increasing all the way in size and
density. Now sklrting along the bank OF
the river then running for miles through
beautiful park, with the pine trees 100 feet
In height standing as thick az they can
grow. the traveller begins to think he is in a
timber country; and he is. There are hum
dreds of thousands of acres of pine, tama-
rack and cedar, and the woodchopper has
az yet made but a slight impress upon the
forest. About seventy miles from De Smet
Is st. Regis, Il paradise for fishermen. Two
or three Helena men left the party here on
the way out and Geo. Metten brought to
town with him a monster trout weighing
six pounds.
