Col Wattersons notice TO the New York
Democrats that the rest of the country is
tired of their nonsense, their insolence, and
their selfshness is timely and in order. 1t
would be better for the Democratic party
never to come into power in the nation again
than to do so on the terms the New York
Democratic machine seems inclined to dictate.
The Democratic machine in New York is
dominated by men who are at heart Demo
Gratis for revenue only. They want the spoils,
they will not work for the good of the party
unless the promise of spoils is held out to
them in short, they see nothing in politics
except spoils, and can't comprehend how any
man can take an interest in political matters
unless he is paid in some way for it, By the
force OF circumstances New York has hereto
fore been in position to demand what she
wanted of the party in the nation with a
practical certainty that the party would have
TO grant it, She has used her power remorse-
lessly, taking every advantage she perceived,
until 1t is not to be wondered at that the rest
of the country has become tired of her inso-
lent exactions and determined to resist them
in the future at almost any cost. The New
York machine should be taught lesson. and
let US hope it will be.

RICH FINDS OF GALENA ORES
Most Important Discovery in the History
of the Black Hills.

Most Important Discovery in the History
of the Black Hills.
RAPID CITY, S. D., April 1.-THE finding
of rich galena on Squaw Creek in the Hayward
mining district, Southern Pennington County,
continues to attract attention. 1t is said that
one property shows true fissure vein which
can be traced 1900 feet, the outcropping be-
ing ten to twelve feet wide. Assays by Pro-
fessor Ulke and others are reported to show
that the ore carries $l2 IN silver per ton and
The discovery is said to be the most important
in the history of the Black Hills, and it is
thought will have an important bearing upon
the smelling of the low grade gold ores of the
entire region. The galena ores heretofore
found in the hills carry antimony, which
renders them unfit for smelling.

Disaster AVerted by Firemen's Good
Work-Incendiarism Suspected.
Fire at about 1:30 O'Clock this morning des-
troyed the frame dwelling and stable in the
rear of house 1926 1 street northwest. Loss
about $500. The property was owned by
Chauncey Smith and was unoccupied. The
proprietor believes it was set on fire by some
parties who have been endeavoring to have it
removed. 1t was in dangerous proximity to
large number of dwelling houses, and the
good work of the firemen in combining it to
the one house is highly commendable.

The Death of DR.. stanton.

The sudden death of DIR. Stanton on Thurs
day was great shock to the thousands of
friends of the distinguished physician in this

most successful practitioners in Washington,

many calls upon him Wednesday, could
scarcely credit the report of his death the

Those Democrats who held that last falls
defeat meant the death of the Republican
party are naturally downcast at the results of
the recent State and municipal elections in
different parts of the country. Their extreme
elation then was as ill-founded as is their de-
preston now. Great parties do not grow like
mushrooms nor die of apoplexy. Their devel-
opmcnt is slow and their decay gradual The
Republican party has shown for some time
many symptoms of paretic condition. The
dissatisfaction among one class of Republican
voters and the apathy among another class
which led to the overwhelming Democratic
victory of last fall were brought about by the
same riotous career of the Republican leaders
which caused the paresis. These voters are
disgusted with the Republican party. Their
discomfort is deep, and is not likely to wear
away. 1t caused some of them last fall to
vote with the Democrats, but most of them
simply not vote at all. They are waiting
to see what the Democrats are going to do in
the way of correcting the evils of which they
complain They have, in short, joined the
grand army of Independents and the Demo
Gratis can only obtain their support by deserv
ing it. In the results of the recent elections
there is to be found added proof of the discon-
tent prevalent aluOuS tle ndSSeS VI VOIcTs, uot
only Republicans, but Democrats as well. In
Democratic cities the Republicans were sue
cessful; in Republican strongholds Democrats
were successful. The people are tired of the
bosses and of the machines. They are tired
of the corruption, the jobbery, and the disre-
gard of the real purposes of government which
always accompany boss and machine rule. 1t
is an encouraging state of affairs. Party
collars are discarded, and the parties have got
to do differently if they wish to retain the old
and win new supporters. The best element
| in the Democratic party, the element through
whose dominance in 1884 the election of
| Cleveland was made possible, stands pledged
| to every reform for which the discontented
| clamor. If that element can retain control
| there can be little question that enough of the
| discontented voters of the country will act
with the party in 1892, and become perma-
nently incorporated into it thereafter, to give
the Democracy sweeping victory. Except
| where in the interest of good government
| they deserved defeat, the Democrats either
held their own or made substantial gains in
the late elections, and o survey of the whole
field in rational spirit reveals nothing in the
least discouraging to the Democracy. Water
loos are not to be expected every year.

something in the affair and In the correspond

American public has had no intimaton, the
Italian government has already displayed an

become filed with Spanish doubloons and
bars of virgin gold the expedition was to
return and then the fortunate shareholders
were to divide the proceeds and live in
luxurious ease ever afterward.
The shares were put at 500 each, but
when necessary the promoter would take
the responsibility of reducing this price to
any extent that the exigencies Of the case
might make necessary.
In his "apar ments, as he called the room

The statistician of the interstate com

The statistician OF the Interstate COM
merce commission says: There are about
81, 900 locomotives in the United States, of
which one-half are used in hauling freight
trains. It is estimated that these iron
horses cost S450, 0o0, 900. There are l, l09, 900
cars of all kinds, of which $4,000 are passsn-
ger cars and the remainder freight or serv-
ice cars. The former cars cost about $780,
600 600 and the latter $500, 100000. or an ap-
pro ximate cost of rolling stock OF 81 $780,
0OO. 900. To every five miles Of railroad in
the United States there is a locomotive; to
every mile of road there aresi freight cars,
to every SD miles there is a passenger car.
Each year q freight engine hsuls $1,000
tons of load; each year passenger engine
pulls 60 900 passengers. The railways of
the United States employ 100000 persons.
1t is estimated that the railway interest
provides living for 5000, 900 in this coun-
try or nearly one-twentieth of the popula-
ton.
A recent article in the Times of London
commenting on the proposed ran Amerl-
can railway has attracted much attention.
The Times regards the scheme as part OF
new continental policy Of the United States.
The Times remarks: THE railroad, when
completed, would have 20 compete with the
great water ways on either side OF the CONT
nent from Buenos Ayres to New York and
from Valparaiso to San Francisco. The
existing means or transit are sliuploT anu
cheaper than they could ever be made on
rail route The Me9cicdn FinGncier adds:
''Tne Brazilians and the Argentines, or the
Chieans and Peruvlans are not going to
send freight by rail to the United States so
long as steamship lines exist; nor, on the
other hand, are the manutact-
urers Of the United States likely to employ
means of transportation vastly more
costly, for such extremely great distances,
than ocean steamers. How the Pan-Amerl-
can railway is ever going to earn dividends
must be left to be discovered By men wiser
than ordinary mortals. The capitalists OF
the United States have not sufficient sur
plus money for so gigantic an undertaking,
| and, if they went in for it, wou have to
| go to Europe to secure 1t. and 1t is not
probable that the Europeans would supply
the funds for so chimerical an undertaking.
| A Pan-American railway may come some
| day through the gradual building Of local
lines, but it will be when Central America,
by the growth Of its populatlon, requires
railways. and when Colombia, Ecuador,
Peru, Chile, ETC., are joined by railways
built because OF their usefulness locally.
