BLAINE seems to have become Re-
publican fetch, says the New York
Times the one name with which the
party can conjure up something OF its
old-time spirit. 1t is difficult to account
for its strange phenomeon. In part it
seems to be due to admiration for that
''aggreSsiveneSs" which has alwaws been
his chief Characteristic. In some meas
ure it may be accounted for by the pre-
vailing impatience with the mixture of
inertness, craft and hypocrisy that
characterizes the Harrison administra-
ton. In fact, the unpopularity of Har-
rison and the conviction that the choice
of a candidate for the next national
campaign lies between him and Blaine
may be the melting cause for renewal
of enthusiasm for the latter. There is
probably beneath this a strong feeling
that if Harrison is renominated the party
will be defeated, and that If Blaine is the
candidate there is & possibility of success
"A possibility that no other nomination
could create,

Wonderful silver Strike.

BOULDER, Col, Aug. 9.-Only a few
weeks ago was reported an enormus rich
silver strike on Pomeroy Mountain, near
Caribou, the details of which were SO won
derful that many doubted the truth of
them. To-day comes the report of
another strike only 500 feet from the
first that is even richer and more won
derful than the first Imagine streak
or strata running into a mountain of
about three inches of almost solid silver,
the glistening white of the rative silver
mingled with the more somber color of
the hosn silver.
This lis one of the veins one reads of and
generally regards as truthful as an Ara
bian Nights tale. But Boulder can show
it in reality. The strike has awakened
all the old mining spirit, and many will
leave for the new field tomorrow TO in
vestigate and prospect. Pomeroy Noun
tain, where the find was made, Is situa-
ted right on the main range about mile
northwest of Caribou and from the cele-
brated Caribou Hill, from which, through
the old Caribou, No Name, Belcher,
Poorman and Others, many millions
have been produced.

A Fool and q Sun.

McVEYTowS, Pa. Aug. 1O.-Mary
Williams, beautiful girl of 20 years,
was killed to-day in the presence of her
betrothed by the foolish handling of a
revolver. A party of young people had
gone to the house of Mrs. Wilson, and
while the hostess was preparing dinner
one of the young men took out his re-
volver and laid it on the table, prepara-
tory to cleaning it. Mrs Wilson picked
1t up and jokingly said: ''I've a mind
to shoot somebody" She pointed it at
different members of the party, and
finally at Miss Williams. As she did SO
the revolver was discharged, the ball en-
tered Miss Williams eye. She fell dead
in the arms of her affianced, who was
sitting by her side. Mrs. Wilson is
prostrated, while the lover of the dead
girl is almost insane. 4 coroner's Jury
returned a verdict of accidental shoot.

Harrisburg hotel wondering whether it

stolen from the state made good, or face
the truth before an indignant people he
has never shown sign of contrition. He
had a lucky escape then and his con-
science has never since been allowed to
renew its tortures. At intervals he has
slammed modesty and made a pretense
of respecting public opinion, but he has
never for one moment forsaken his wick

COwhided In the Street.


BROOKLYN, Aug. S.-Charles Dodd,
who has paint shop in Hooper street,
near Grand street, was publicly thrashed
by his wife, Barbara, on Thursday night
In front of his place of business. The
couple have not lived happily together
for some time.
Charles, although a meek-looking in
dividual, is something of Lothario in
disposition and has figured in more than
one domestic tragedy. He had only
been divorced from his first wife a few
weeks when he eloped with Barbars
Stechinger. He has treated her badly
ever since and frequently insulted her in
public. She concluded to square mat,
ters with him and resorted to the horse
whip. A large and enthusiastic crowd
collected on the corner and cheered the
irate wife on to victory.

GREAT political excitement prevails in
Australia. The farmers and sheep
shearers are holding large meetings in
favor of free trade as more beneficial to
their interests than protection, and the
miners also have come out generally in
favor of free trade. Their leaders argue
that the Australian farmers and sheep
men have secure and profitable market
any way, and that protection. insures
only to the benefit of the cities and
manufacturing centers. The politicians
believe that the next election in the colo
ny will turn on this question.

Mr.. HARRISON appears to have at
tempteda flank movement on the Blaine
boom by making Blaine man, who is
secretary of the Republican National
Executive committee, Collector of Gus
toms at New York. Whether this will
result in making Harrison man out of

The suit brought by the state against
the county of Philadelphia, says the
Philadelphia Record, for the recovery of
funds belonging to the state which were
misappropriated by John Bardsley will
probably turn altogether upon the point
whether the money in question came
into Bardsley's possession by virtue of
this official relation as agent of the
state. He was under bond to both state
and county for the faithful perform ance
of his duty, and dealt with both di-
rectly, as authorized by statute. The
question raised by this litigation is inn
portant, and the tangled point of re-
spons ibllity which the courts will have
to determine is not without difficulty.
The amount of money in dispute is so
considerable as to seriously affect both
city and state finances. This considera-
ton makes the early determination OF
the matter very desirable.

FORT DODGE, Ia, August 10.-David
King, an Algona farmer who was bun
coed out of 50, 900 by couple of sharp
ers, claims to have been hypnotized at
the time he lost the money. Although
commonly reputed to he shrewd man,
King was easily persuaded to draw 81,

three card monte game. King asserts
positively that some mysterious force was
brought to bear upon him. The conf.
dence men are under arrest at Algona,
and full investigation of their methods
will be made.

THE Pittsburgh Louder says that E1-
Solicitor General George A. jerks WAS In
the city on Wednesday. He is opposed
to the constitutional convention, and SO
expressed himself. Il hope" he SAID,
that there won't be a half dozen votes
in the State In favor of a convention.
II IL an unfortunate time to have one
with so many crank notions in the air.
1t is wrong to endanger the constitution
in that way. We have good constitu-
tion-oue of the best in eXlstence-and
if there is need of improving 1t IN any
particular it can be done by amendment.
The constitution should not be torn to
pieces or a new one made, as might be
done if a convention is held. \ constl-
tuition should be a growth, improved
and altered only as it becomes necessary.
Our constitution provides a safe way of
doing this without running any risks.
We shouldn't throw away the experience
and interpretations of seventeen years,
but amend with Il view of retaining the
benefit of the decisions of the courts.
Generally speaking, new constitution
should only be made at the founding or
creation of the state. l think you will
find that the railroads are all in favor of
a convention. They hope in some way
to get article Il, SO obnoxious 10 them
and which causes them SO much trouble
at each session of the legislaturg, re-
nealed. The interests that want special
legislation are also anxious for a conven-
ton, and you will nearly always find
some ring behind every demand of that
kind"

To the MINING JOURNAL.
see in your issue of the llth inst.
that you give a detailed account of
the different programmes that were on
hand in celebrating the Fourth.
Among which you say 1.-THE main
interest centred i'll the afternoon races
at the Frostburg Driving Park" even
to the "eating Of early dinners it was
requisite to be in time. Then YOU
state there was about "a dozen lemon
AIDE fiends, with voices developed and
trained in Pandemonium, who made
existence III the grand stand living
horror" &c.
Now, whether these races will tend
to refine or corrupt the morals of their
attendants is Il serious question,
which, perhaps, ! am not able to an
Swer.
But | enclose for your publication
an article taken from the New York
TriJune'S agricultural column, con-
tanning the opinions and observations
of others certainly more capable of
Judging than ! am. and which, | think,
Is very appropriate at this time and at
this place:
Rev Thomas Dixon, r., characterizcs the
race-track as "hell-born' and ''deviI-headed, -

Louisiana Lottery eyer ruined one
1t smells from beer to wine, from cham
payne to gin and rum. 1t smells of tobacco
and profanity. 1t smells of the faro, kennel
and bfothel, whose inmates are its daily
yotaries and slaves. The stencil permeates
the life of the city, poisoning the ar of
stables shops, streets, homes. Its victims
number thousands.
The Christian H,tcHDigcaccr defines it as
that school of profanity and of vice in all
its forms, engendcrng iniquty and suffer-
ing beyond power Of words to express:
Incalculable, desperate injury is inflicted
upon the young men and women, the BOYS
and girls, VINO are attracted to the races The
stables introduce in a community a company
of most INSCRIPTIONS, drunken, impure,
goddess and prOtane men and women In
daring utter wickedness they have no
superioTs.
Another witness, especially competent, is
Inspector Byrnes, of the New York police
Let all whom it concerns-which includes
everybody interested in public welfare-hear
and heed the triple testimony:
RacetracEs are the resorts of so MANY de-
| graded people, and so completely under con-
troll of gamblers and thieves that no re.
spectacle, sensible man would think Of hay
ing his wife or daughter on one of the grand
stands to look at race. As horse racing is
conducted now, it would be well for the COM
lnunity to stop racing altogether. We are
sending men to prison right along on account
of the race-gambilnG cfa@e. Homes are be-
| ing destroyed and lives Of young men blight
ed every day in this city for the same reason.

Should BE Slammed Down.

Secretary Foster was asked last
Saturday what reply, if any, he pro-
posed to make to Mr.. Powderly's open
letter. The dispatch further states
He said the letter was so abusive and UNI
truthful that it might be suspected of being
campaign document. He did not propose
to enter into a controversy with Powderly
on such a basis.
To the JOURNALS surprise the See
rotary gave the demand of the knights
of Labor far more attention than is
good policy-at least until Mr.. Pow
derby is elected President and the
government handed over to the
Knights Of Labor.
When a class can come in and die
tate to the government how many men
and who shall do certain government
work, and how it shall be done, it
will soon be high time to stop business
at the old stand.
But that is the fad which animates
and inspires the Noble Order.
1t is after the spoils and no mis-
take.
AS a labor organization it is Il great
and dangerous imposture-just such
an one as every official, corporation,
body polite and Independent indi-
vidual should get on with both feet
every time its ugly head pops up with
a brazen request for more sacrilegious
interference with other peoples rights.
