The Lacrosse Chronicle of recent
date contained a very vigorous edi-
torial article upon the defeat of Roger
q. Mills for the speakership. The
Chronicle truly says:
1t is not that the Democratic party
has come back into unquestioned and
unquestionable victory that many
sincere men, especially young men,
have tlOcked to its banner. 1t is be-
cause they have learned to have faith
that Grover Cleveland, John G.. Car
Isle, Roger Q. Mills, George f. Will
lIams OF Mass, Frank p. Coburn,
OF Wisconsin, and the like of them
all over the country, who represent
the principles that were the rallying
cry of the progressive Democratic
party-the principles Of tariff reform
ana honest government. If they are
expected to rally and hurrah for Tam
many and Dave Hill, for protection
and free silver, or for a platform that
IS equlyocal on those points, the party
IS taxing great risks in the venture"
The Democrat is Ioath to believe that
The Chronicles fears are well founded.
Many earnest tariff reform democrats,
especially of the west, doubted the
wisdom of pushing Dir. Mills forward
Tor speaker, although they regarded
nm as one of the ablest defenders of
the tariff reform faith; and Speaker
Crisp Immediately upon his selection
oy the democratic congressional eau
Gus assured his party associates that
their action meant no backward step in
the cause of tariff reform. But if the
defeat of Mr.. Mills means the defeat of
the Cleveland democracy and an en-
dorsement of Hill and Tammany the
sooner democrats everywhere are con
Vinced of the fact the better it will be.
The Democrats faith in the honesty
ana intelligence of the people is too
strong for it to believe that the cause
represented by Grover Cleveland can
be defeated or set back. 1t is. how
ever right and proper to keep dem
oerats in lively remembrance of the
Importance of excluding protection
and free silver heresies from the dem
ocrauc national platform OF 1892. if
they hope for an endorsement of the
democratic party by the people of the
country Democrats should pray for
harmony within their own ranks, but
betrayal of the cause for which the

Deep Mining.
To the Editors

10 the EQlIOrS,
The abundance of water found by
deep boring in the neighborhood Of
your railroad depot, which is near the
line Of a strong mineral belt, east and
west, carrying zinc ores, as you know,
shows that there along are large sub
terranean "Openings," or tarrying
spots for ground waters, in the rocks
beneath at hidden levels.
Those waters, there is scarcely a
doubt, were once hot springs, and
were the vehicle Of metallic fumes; or
it may have been Of acid solutions.
Through long stiffness and rest, metals
took on crystallization there in veins.
Nothing is better attested than that
mineral deposits in southwestern Wis
consin are found associated with CO.
piouS water deposits - waters once
powerful solvents whose solventy
power came to be lost as as they came
to be chilled from nearneSs to sur
face. Your driest diggings were once
water caverns, from which the water
has come to be drained in the course
of time.
Another thought: Your frequent
failures to meet expectations in min
ing, the concomitant gangue of
"mineral" being too often present.,
and all signs favorable, but the guam
tity of lead ore miserably scanty,-
the opprobrium of your superficial
mines,-is because of the great denu-
dation your region has suffered in
ages back; which has brought the cor
roding power Of the atmosphere into
play upon the easily oxidizable ores
upon galena, especially-the less oxi-
dizable ores of iron and zinc remain
ing intact. This much encouragement
is there for deeper mining. Jap.

Out at Plarney Peak they "are push
ing the work as fast as possible :" to
get at the tin. 1t now developes that
depth of $500 feet must be reached
before good paying ore can be taken
out. But "the ore is there in paying
quality and quantity" So far none of
the mines have reached the depth of
over 125 feet, and as it has taken over
six years to reach that depth, we must
wait till about 1891 to see our hopes
fully fulfilled. Then, again, cit is
difficult to obtain sufficient number
Of good miners so hard to find

scarce in this country 0, give US a

Reports say that depth Of $500
feet must be reached before paying tin
can be taken out Of the Black Hills
mines, and that if the work progresses
in the future as it has in the past, it
will take till about 1891 to reach the
tin-which was reported to be just in
sight in very large quantities over a
year ago, 1t is, however, expected
chat extensive operations in these
mines will soon be begun-on paper
and vigorously carried on by the tin
plate editors until the close Of the
campaign of 1892. Look out for
startling tin discovery announcements
from the Black Hills country.

Speaker Crisp's idea Of the true pol
icy Of the party is to Introduce and
pass either one short, compact bill or
several brief measures Of whose mean
ing there can be no possible doubt;
strike at the root Of the question by
putting, wool, salt, binding Irvine, and
a few other articles which are deSigna-
ted as raw material upon the free list
and stop there, leaving no room for
misapprehension or miscOnstructiOn."
A correspondent of The New Y oTk
World thus states the position of
Speaker Crisp upon the tariff question;
and we hope that the statement is cor
rect. To strike directly at a few of
the worst evils of high tariff taxation,
and to speedily pass bill correcting
them, is a very good plan to be pur-
sued at this session of congress. If
1T were possible to pass a general re-
form measure through both houses,
then it would be both right and proper
70 prepare general bllI which would
relieve the industries of the country
from many of the unjust burdens of
the Mckinley act. But when this is
not the case, the easier and better way
would be for the house to send over to
the senate without delay some meas
IRE of relief, If the senate should
concur in it, then more of the same
nature could follow. While, on the
other hand, if the senate refuses to
submit to reduction of a few of the
highest and most unnecessary items of
federal taxation, it would surely be
loves labor lost for the house to I'M
dertake the work of preparing and
passing general tax reform measure.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER is, 1891.

Gov. Peck is entitled to great credit
for his efforts to prevent prize-fghting
in Wisconsin, and it shows healthy
public sentiment when people of all
parties applaud the Governor for the
position he has taken in matter. The
Milwaukee Journal says:
"The firm stand taken by Gov. Peck
on the question of prize-fghtihg with
in the state is bringing commenda-
tions from all directions. We have
laws which prohibit such things when
ought to be rigidly enforced; and all
good citizens will unite in praise OF
efforts made in good faith in behalf OF
laws, good order and decency.

ASSAULTED THE WRoyG MAN,
Fresh Young Chicagoan Must Fight
A kentuckian.

New YORK, May 3O.-A Louisville, Ky,
dispatch says: Douglas Sherry president of
the Kentucky club an author and wealthy
society man, was assaulted in his own home
last Monday night BY James Heth of Chicago.
Mr.. Heth carried a cowhido with which he
attempted to chastise Mr.. Sherry.
For several years past Mr Heth has been
devoted in his attentions to prominent So
cicty young lady, and it is reported that he
had pressed his suit so successfully that the
wedding day had been set About week
ago MIR Heth came to Louisville and went
direct to Pewee Valley, where the young
lady is visiting relativss While there
gossip attributed to Mr.. St$rly a remark that
was uncomplimentary tos.,Fa0 young Lady.
Mr.. Heth at once announce his intention of
revenging what he termed an insult, and al
though the family used every effort to dis
suade him he was obdurate and declared undt
he intended to carry his threat into eXeCu-
tion. Accordingly on Monday evening he
came into the city, accompanied, it is stated,
by Messrs. w. +. Johnson and Sidney Muir
ray, and with them repaired to MIR. Sherly's
residence. Mr. Helhs card was handed to
Mr.. Snerly, ana that gentleman, being en-
tlrely ignorant Of the purpose of the call,
went down to the parlor uaprepared for
what followed. Rumor has it that Mr.
Sherry had hardly crossed the threshold
when MIR, Heth produced cOWhlde and
without warning struck Mr.. Sherry a sharp
blow across the face. The latter was OF
course startled by the assault, but he imme-
diately recovered his self possession and,
seizing Hoth by the throat, wrenched the
cowhide from his hand and threw him
violently TO the floor. Instead of following
his advantage Mr.. Sherry ordered his assail-
ant to leave the house, an Injunction that was
ooeyed with aacrity. The two friends of Mr.
Heth remained neutral during the assault.
II is asserted that neither of the two gen
tlemen who accompanied Heth knew of the
object of his call ana that their connection
with the affair was accidental. But it is said
that the end is not yet. Mr.. Sherry, it is
stated, Immediately placed the affair in the
hands of a well-kuown doctor, an intimate
friend and gentleman of the old Kentucky
spirit of chvalry, who is well acquainted
with the code. The doctor, it is said, was in
structed to demand full satisfaction from the
assailant. which could be nothing less thar
published apology, or to propose terms for
meeting between the two gentlemen.
In the meantime friends of the two gentle
men made efforts to settle the affair and Sc
cure an amcable adjustment They have
not, it is understood, succeeded. None of
Mr.. Sherly's friends will believe tnat he was
guilty OF the remarks attributed to him. Mr..
heth is the son of prominent Chicago grain
operator. He has been a frequent visitor to
Louisville and Is well known here.

Archbishop Ireland on the Recent
Memorial to the Pope.

hcnlOIial 10 Inc rope.
ST. P,uL. MINI, May 30.-The recent me-
mortal of Catholic emigration societies to the
pope, requesting the following of distinct
national lines III the work among emigrants
in America, has attracted great attention
Probably the only man in the northwest who
is capable Of giving al inside view OF the re-
cent Catholic movement in Europe is Arch
bishop ireland a reporter called
upon the archbishop today and asked
for statement regarding the mat
ter After endorsing the truth of the
Associated Press dispatches from Rome the
archbishop said so far rs Mr. Cathcusly,
the bearer of the LuCerne petitions to the
vatican, and his friends and co-laborcrs are
concerned, they have well defined object in
view and they mean to work for it with
might and main.
1t is to harness the church in America
into the service of recently arrived immi-
grants from Germany, the Catholic interests
in the country being apparently looked upon
as quite secondary Some nf their demands
are quite admissible in themselves, although
ii is no business Of people in LuCernc TO
make them such, as German paris hes
and German schools are German speak
ing Catholics. In addition, however,
to these this decree of German priests for all
parishes in which there are German Catholics
mingled with others, German bishops charged
with the exclusive care of Germans or cX.
tlNNlNt NItluliu luTlSultllOuS CdlluOU Uc IOl-
crtatcd. Their demands are based on the
supposltion tnat the bishops and priests OF
America are Irish aud neglect the Germans.
Mr.. Cathensly calls for reversal of what ne
imagines to be the case and by clear implica-
tion asks that the irish be put in charge of
German bishops and priests. We have to
note here the actual or assumed ignorance
of Mr.. Cahcnsly AS to the condition of
German speaking Catholics in America In
asserting that they are neglected he does
most positive injustice to the bishops of the
country, whose constant effort has been and
Is to provide for all Catholics of foreign
tongues priests of their own nationality
There is singular malice, too, in his attempt
to represent the Catholic church in America
as Irish 1t were easier for him to succeed
IN a dispute between Irish and Germans
than in one between Americans and Germans
AS n matter OF fact the bishops
horn in Irelahd are few in the
American hierarchy and those few have
spent nearly all their lives in America and
are thoroughly identified with the country
and all its institutions. If bishops of Amer
lea are heart and soul Americans they have
no more idea of making the church Irish than
they have of allowing it to be made German.
The mass of our Catholics today have been
born in America and, whether their fathers
were Irish or German, they are Americans
and they resent with indignation any effort
TO class them into Irish or Germans or for
egrcrs of any stripe. What is the most
strange feature in this whole Lucernc move
mcut is the lmpudeuce of the men in under
taking to meddle under any pretext in the
Catholic affairs of America.
