The Tin In tho Hills.

WITHIN several days number of
eastern papers have contained lengthy
articles to the effect that there was no
tin in the Black Hills and that the whole
tin business was gigantic fraud. The
fact that these letters, which closely re-
semble each other, appeared almost
simultaneously in number Of daily
papers OF both political parties pub
lished in different cities. is rather sls-
picious. There Is feeling among some
of the people that they were sent out by
some one connected with the Harvey
Peak company as an aid to "A stock
jobbing scheme, but this is only con-
lecture. The letters grossly misrepre-
sent the condition of affairs, and the
people, especially the miners, at Rapid
City, s d., say they know that there is
tin in the Hills, Notwithstanding the
fact that the Harvey Peak company has
spent thousands OF dollars in buying
claims and prosp ,cting and has uot yet
produced ton of marketable tin. A
local company has been organized which
will go into the mining. milling and
manufacturing business in business
like manner, and will have no connec-
tion with any other company. This
will mean a good deal for the material
advancement of the Hills country.

THE Omaha Bee printed an exhaustive
review of the commercial and financial

ing remarkable development. The
most important phase of the exhibit is
the showing Of the deposits in the state
and national banks which reach the ag-
gregate OF $50. .5O1 ,O43, or SAT per capita,
showing that in spite OF the failure of
crops in the western part OF the state
last year. and low prices for series of
years. the people ara in exceptionally
good financial condition. They have al
most enough cash on deposit to liquidatc
the entire farm mortgages of the state.

tered. To-day Omaha is the third pack
ing center In the union. The creamery
capacity of the state is 5000 pounds OF
butter per day. The two sugar beet
factories have capacity Of 10000

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 10.-The San to-mor-
row will publish a dispatch from
Washington referring to the report that
the conclusion of Governor Hill Of New
York to come to the Senate was because
of letter written him by Henry Waiter
son last November.
The letter is printed in full. In it Mr..
Watterson says that outside of the State
of New York there is well nigh unani-
nous demand among the Democrats for
the nomination of Cleveland too strong for
the party managers to resist. If Hill
should come to the National Convention
with the New York delegation solid
against Cleveland, he would be over
whelmed.
"You are powerless to prevent" adds
Watterson, "but you can defeat the cleo
ton of the ticket. There are Democrats
in every part of the Union who believe
you did this in 1883. I know it to be
false, but it will cling to you as long as
you live, and will meet you in every Ma
tional Convention if it be not 'dissipated
by some act on your part great enough to
blot it out. In default of this, If you have
any hope of the Presidency, it will defeat
that. If you could reconcile it with your
Judgment to make peace with Cleveland,
and take the delegation to the National
Convention in 1892 to put him IN nomina-
ton, you will save the party and place
yourself upon an elevation you can never
attain if you fail to do it. You would be
received by the country with enthusiasm,
and don't see how you could be kept
out of succession. On the other hand,
even if you succeeded in defeating the
nomination of Cleveland. you will stand
upon a sinister and dangerous ground,
with stormy future before you."

LONDON, Feb. 1O.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Telegraph writes at
length of the persecution of Jews, which
he says, has been, if anything, more
marked since tho petition from Guild
Hall, London, was returned without
comment by the Car. Russia's reply to
the respectful petition consists of secret
circulars ordering the officials to vigor-
ously administer the anti-Semetic law,
and supply the legal DEFICIENCIES by their
own decisions.
The correspondent says the Poles, after
the rebellion of 1884, were less inhumanly-
treated than the Jews are to-day. The
Jews, through the wretched life they are
forced to live, are physically degenerate,
and becoming most striking embodi-
ment of human life continuing in spite of
the gradual decay of the vital functions.
General Gourkee, Governor of War
saw, with knowlege of this, issues the
most stringent relations as to the exam
ination of young Jews for military re-
crults, harrassing those found physically
unable to bear arms by repeated cruel
examinations, dragging them several
times year from their homes to the ex-
amlnlng stations, many miles away, they
polLS ollipelieu 70 go on IOOt, cQalneQ
with convict gangs.
The strange anomaly is the conduct Of
Prince Dolgouroff, Governor of Moscow,
who has been obliged many times to turn
to wealthy Jews for monetary assistance,
and is indebted to them. In his district
the Jews are treated with marked lem
iency.
Referring to the report that the Czar
does not know of the enormlties perpe-
trated in his name, the correspondent
says the truth is that the Gar knows
enough to convince him that the Jews
are more cruelty treated than horses, cat
tie or swine, which are cared for as the
gifts of God.
A number of eminent Russian literary
men recently addressed a declaration to
the public and journalists asking them
to remember that the Jews were human
beings.
The Government. refused to allow the
declaration to be published. A personal
friend of the Car laid the document be-
fore him with an humble request from
the authors for its publication. The Gar
read both papers and flung them away.

THE IRISH QUESTION.
Hopes for q Peaceable Settlement No,
Very Feeble

Hopes for q Peaceable Settlement Now
Very Feeble.
NEW York, Feb. 10.--A Herald Ion.
don special says: Communications are
still going on between the two sections of
the Irish party, and Gill has left for Bou.
logne. Hope of peaceable arrangement
is now very feeble among both sections
of the party, and the members of the
Mccarthy section complain that Parnell
is constantly altering and raising his con-
ditions.
The points on which Parnell takes ex-
ceptionS to the charter assurances given
by the Liberal leaders are, it is said. the
land question and imperial vote. 1t is
now generally believed that the negotia-
tionS will end in a failure, and that the
rupture in the Irish party will continue
during the remainder of this Parliament.
1t is intended to hold meeting of the
Mccarthy section tomorrow. Mccarthy
will then make statement on the posi-
ton of affairs. and give a history of the
negotiations on which he and his col
leagues have been engaged. 1t will be
for meeting to decide whether any
further efforts are to be made to effect
reunion of the party, but number of
McCarthy's followers are in favor at once
of breaking off negotiations with Parnell.
1t is stated that, even in case Parneu
should resign the leadership of the Irish
party for the present Parliament, he will
consider himself free to prosecute his
campaign in Ireland, sit independently
on the Irish questions in the House, and,
after the general election, he would claim
the right to be renominated as Chairman
Of the party.

BUILDERS, ASSOCIATION.
Proceedings of the National Conven-
ton Held in New York.

NEW York, Feb. 10.-The convention
of the National Association of Builders
was continued to-day. Richard Smith of
Omaha offered resolution setting forth
that convict labor was frequently brought
into contact with the builders, to their Sc
rious detriment, and asking the proper
authorities to pass law to make the price
of convict labor work the same as the cur
rent prices of the regular trade.
The report of the Committee on Arbi-
tration calls attention to the fact that one
of the fundamental principles of the de-
claration OF principles of the National AS
sociation reads that employers in the
building trade should recognize that
there are great opportunities for good in
associations of worl>men, and while con-
demning improper methods on the part
of such associations, they should be ready
to aid them in all honorable purposes.
The committee believe it absolutely neces-
sary that there should be an association
of employers and workmen to serve as
representative bodies in cases of disagree
ment, and it is the duty of the National
Association to recommend definite
method of arbitration. which shall fully
recognize the rights of both employers
and workmen.
Other matters were discussed.
