The Scramble Over Hearst's Seat.

SAN Francisco, March 3.-The death
of Senator Hearst will infuse life into the
state legislature, which has the appoint.
ment of his successor. There are three
prominent candidates M. NJ. Estee,
chairman of the last Republican national
convention, NJ II. De Young, proprietor
Of the Chronicle and member of the
national worlds fair commission. and
Charles N. FELTON,, ex-congressman irom
California Each has a strong following,
and the struggle will be lively. The legis-
lature is overwhelmingly Republican, so
there is no chance for a Democratic
successor to Hearst. II he had lived a
mouth longer the governor would have
had the appointment of the senator
Hearst ) sou, VIM. r. Hearst is the
richest newspaper proprietor in the
country. IL is said that young Hearst
will have complete control Of most OF the
senator's estate Of 500. 900, 900. and he
will at once set about the establishment
of a daily newspaper in New York. as
he regards San Francisco as too small.

CHICAGO, March 3.-A dark green
lizard, three and one-half inches long,
crawled out of Michael Days stomach
today. Last September, while in a little
town about eight miles from Erie, Pa.
Mr.. DAILY drank from a spring near the
depot and the next day he felt queer in
side. About a month ago the lizard be-
gan causing him serious trouble for the
first time, and he had serious fits OF vom-
iting. He was told that whisky would
kill the animal, and drank until he had
tremens, but the lizard held the fort.
Then he consulted a doctor and was told
to drink nothing but salt water fortwenty-
four hours. He also ate two or three
pounds of salt pork. About 10 o'clock
this morning a pan of hot milk was
placed by his bedside. When DAILY
leaned over he felt something crawling up
the side of his stomach and in another
moment the reptile was in his throat and
fell with a splash into the pan.

Mountain reports considerable enthusiasm
there ia a quiet way over the recent dis
covery of gold quartz in that vicinity and
further south along the Medicine Bow
range on the head of Lake creek. 1t is
strongly maintained that the find in that
region is even superior to the Gold Hill
mines--something hard to credit.
Judge Kuykendall has gone to Gold
Hill. tolook the ground over. preparatory
to investing there.
Hon. +. Cl.atterton returned from his
Encampment mine Friday, and was a
guest at the Gold Hill house. He reports
the tunnel as in just COO feet. This will
prove to be one of the richest mines in
Wyoming without doubt.
A triangular deal in real estate took
place here on the 2Sth ult.. whereby +.
L. Bernard secured the property Of J.. f.

Gold Hill house, W. B. Hugus & Co.,
took the valuable ranch property of Mr..
Bernard, east of Saratoga, aud J.. f.
Crawford secured the Plotzmau property,
a new business house here Just completed.
Mr.. Bernard will, by this means, secure
about double the space possessed by him
heretofore for hotel purposes. and will at
once begin the remodeling OF the entire
property in order to accommodate the
patronage of this new and popular hotel.
Ground was broken Saturday for the

water will permit.
Lutte. Lewis K Co. are at work on both
the Laramie and Little Bonanza lodes. aud

owners of the Leyiathan that they
have cut across the vein TO the foot
wall, fourteen feet. aud wouln nov cut
across to the hanging wall. This is at a
depth of sixty-two feet. and shows one
solid vein of five foot quartz in thickness,
besides smaller veins iromCs few inches to
two feet in thickness. This ore, besides
the scft clayey dirt between these veins
prospect well in gold when panned.
Messrs johnson, Evans and Griffin of
Carbon left for lone last Saturday. They
took snow shoes and intend to locate a
road and at once work on il.
They say 1t is only nine miles to the tie
camp. where there is now a good road.
Mr.. Evans says that il they delay any
longer on this road that nothing can be
done until next August, and that now
they are satisfied OF the success OF the
camp, they will put in their road.
Prof. Matthews. from Rock Springs,
left for home this morning. He came
here IN the interests Of some Rock Springs
capitalists and was well pleased with our
camp and showed his faith in it by getting
the refusal of some very COOL property.
Il. q. Savin has come 10 to stay and
has already commenced to build.
Although the snow Is IRON four to five
feet deep, there are still some location.
made nearly everv day. There is scarcely
a vein in the camp that does not par
gold, and this is 80 encouraging for the
~prospector that a few feet of snow does
not discourage him, and he is content ia
shovel snow and work az a disadvantage as
there is almost a sure reward for his labor.
There have been several sales o finterests
IN claims made the past week, these inter-
ests being from one-eIghth to one half and
all being a very good price for ten foot

American Competition.

The Boston Globe argues that the Pro
 tective tariff hils had no influence in re. ducing the cost of steel rails in Amer ica, because the cost of steel rails has also been reduced in England. This is speciens, but not sound. Itis q fayorite Free-,rade assertion that has been many times exploded. Protection has operat- ed in two ways to reduce the price of steel rails. It has assisted the trcinen- dous development of our country, that within the palst thirty years has given us larger railway mileage than all Europe, and 1t has encouraged the ex- pansion of OUT native steel making in- dustry until tie United States has be- come the foremost iron and steel producing nation of the world. Ameri- can competition has been of late years 8 formidable factor in fixing the worlds prices of steel and iron. Eliminate this competition, and if prices did not go soaring up 1t would be because the En- glish manufacturers for the first time in their lives refused to take advantage of their opportuility.--Boston Journal.

Bad Luck a. the Funeral.

A calf was killed and sot aside to await the roasting procesa, When the hour arrived for this on Wednesday the matrons having the affair in charge were greatly surprised to find that during the night some person had stolen the calf, together with other of the funeral meats.
 The excitement created by this an 1ouncement had scarcely subsided ere one of the horses attached to the hearse of Undertaken Thomas SchafRer, of Lime port, while being driven into the yard, stepped into hole from which post had been removed and broke his leg. The poor animal had to be shot on the

The effect oe the new tariff upon Amer ican manufacture and labor is already evident.

PROTECTIVE PHILOSOPHY,
A Discussion of the Principles Embodied
 Ina the rEcKinley, Dill.

4 Discussion of the Principles Embodied
 in the srcKiniey DiiI.
 A timely book of about s50 pages with the above title by David Hall Rice, \. M., of Boston, has just been published in that city by George B, Reed.
 The friendsof Protection, and the aa- thor, MT. Rice, may be cordially con- graduated upon the thorough and eifett- i've way in which the subject has bean treated. If the mugwrnps, who seem to lead New England public opinion, will give candid examination of the work they will, if not turned from the error of their ways, at least get a better understanding of the grounds on which the friends of Protection rest their case, and perhaps in the end have q whole some doubt of the correctness of their own Free trade theories. --
 Mir. Rice's work is commended to Pro tectionists as presenting strongly and compactly the facts and arguments which defend the faith that is in them, and which overthrow the assumptions of Free-trade. .a
 The author is especially earnest in pointing out the distinction between Free-trade and Protection; that the for mer is tariff for revenue, taxing the commodities which a nation does not produce, and therefore q tax with no compensating advantages; that the lat ter, while yielding revenue, also pro notes the industrial welfare of the pso- pie. He affirms that there is no sylch condition anywhere as international Free-trade, and that what is called Free trade is one kind of 6 tariff, contrassed as to its methods and aims with tho op- posite nd--Protection.
 Critical examination of the history and practical workings of Free-trsde tariff compared with Protection, shows that the former taxes the poor and fav,,rs the rich, and the latter fayors the poor and taxes the rich; that Free-trade tariff increases the cost of the necessaries of life by diminishing production. and Pro- tection diminishes their cost by increas- ing production; that Free-trade tariff tSuuSCc "aSVc py ubstVAdSiaS SAiluA~ prises which give employment, and Pro lection increases wages by enlarging the demand for workmen.
 All these Free-trade fallacies with which Democratic and Mugwump pa- pers and speakers have made everybody familiar, and by reiteration almost per suaded many to think they may bs true, Mir. Rice exposes and e,rplodes merci- lessly and conclusively.
 This new and powerful defense of Protection should be carefully read, and will repay the reader by giving him many original arguments and opposite illustrations, ingeniously conceived and expressed in terms both plain and vigor- ous. Unlike tho greater number of writings on economic topics, MT. Rtce's work will be found attractive, and, if we mistake not, no intelligent person will open it's pages without finding in them, tn respect to both material and style, sufficient to mako him reluctant to lay it aside until it has been carefully raal

That tnailoon Expedition.

A correspondent asks, What time is the balloon expedition to start for the north pole?'
 There is some doubt now felt as to whether it will start at all. The men who intended to SC are Frenchmen, but the French Aeronautic society, which has been considering the matter, think that no good could possibly be accom- plished, even if the voyagers were able to paas over the pole and get back alive. The present programme is that they will send up pilot balloons next summer from Spitzbergen, and if these show the direc- ton and force of winds to be favorable to the scheme the expedition will start in the summer of 1892.

 An Afghan A5venture.
 Benjamin Wolfe, who is visiting Springfield, Mass, has passed through adventures enough to fill book. At the age of 1S he enlisted in the English army--having run away from home and he accompanied detachment to India. Thence hs went to Afghanistan, lWu0Ib III locU H0 ukuIcu HI tt1o AfsEiouS march from Herat to Kandahar-~a dis tance of 1900 miles--nlade in six weeks by Gen. Roberts. Later he was promi- nent in organizing the first dramatic company of English soldiers, and was general manager of its first production, which was made at Sabather. t.. ss
 He has, sss a souvenir of the event, a curious programme, issued by the sol diery, on which is printed the curious injunction, "Gentlemen are requested to fetch their scats." Atone time, while on duty just outside of Sabather, Wolfe was assaulted by five Afghans and was left on the ground for dead. He was discovered by his comrades, however, and cared for. He still bears the marks of the knife wounds on his back. Tho 4th of August, 1890, he started to return to India and rode 1000 miles on horse back, as his path lay along the Himalaya mountains.

As was predicted, the Mckinley prices" hurnbug quickly died as soon as the election was over. Here and thtre a Free-trade paper in general terms feebly reiterates it's ante-election falsehcods,
 and few, very few, continue to specify articles on which the duty has raised the price No doubt they spend much time in searching through lists of articles to find something that will bear out their absurd assertions, and in their despera- tion are driven to the absurd device of quoting imported articles, such as cigars, foreign wines, imported laces, and point ing to them as proof of the truth of the Mckinley prices islanders.
 They affect to believe that their ab- surd charges have been made good when they have shown that the price of Ha- vana cigars has advanced, when tho fact is tkat there never was any controversy over the immediate effe,st that the Tariff would have on imported goods. If an American insists upon consuming, for k eign manufactures Protectionists insist upon his paying something for the privi- lege. No intelligent friend of the tariff denies that the Mckinley bill tempo rarily raises the price ol. imported goods. The object of course is to induce Alneri- cans to use American goods instead. ,s
 r What the Mckinley prices" humbus meartt was that prices t6 domestic prod ucts, from which the wants of the great majority of our people are exclusively supplied, have greatly advanced. To show that the price of Havana cig,rs has advanced Is merely clever atternpt to deceive the minimizing and to dodge the real issue,

Truck Farming ia the South.


 The practical results of our tariff sys- tenn in the south are fast making Pro- tectionists of the southern reople. A Virginia paper remarks: x "(>ne of the beneficial results of the rapid growth in the southern states will be the division of largo landed estates iuto smaller holdings, and the conse- queiit improvement in value of lards and methods of farming. The small farmer, finding himself within easy reach of new markets now springing up on every hand, will be led to convert ( large DOT tion of his land into truck gardens to supply the needs of the growing popula- tior,."
