NEXT year the discovery of
America will be celebrated in every
way that patriotism can invent. Not
| only are we to be furnished with a
special issue of half-dollars by the
treasury, commemorating the event,
but the postoffice department also
has decided to sell complete set of
! jubilee postage stamps during the
year of 1898. The stamps will bear
appropriate engrayings, and the
only portrait to appear on them will
be that of Christopher Columbus.
If the Recorder speaks truly there
is state of drunken indecency and
police imbecility in GAINESVILLE that
would disgrace the most lawless
mining camp ever depicted. The
Recorder says: "Every day or two
there are from one to four or five
mewling, sprawling drunkards,
lettering in the grass or on the front
steps of the Congregational church.
Such a thing as policeman was
never seen in that vicinity, even by
the oldest inhabitant, and the gang
has a clear field day and night,
/ SUNDAYS included"
AN extensive tin-plate mill is to
be established at Warren, and the
Sentinel says: "About a year ago
the Sentinel predicted that, where
as under the old law America was
unable to manufacture its tin plate,
under the protection of the
Mckinley bill it would be able to
make its own tin plate, and that
this industry would thrive as, in
comparison, did the matchmaking
industry under the tariff of 1860.
We did not then realize that so
soon would our words be verified
right at our very door, as we mi ght
say. Nor are these tin-plate
factories to be short lived. To th e
people who put their money in
these plants is the assurance of the
Mckinley bill that they are to be
protected from the competition Of
tin plate made in foreign countries
I with cheap labor"
