subject was a series Of resolutions Op-
posing the present system Of national
taxation and favoring o graduated prop
erty tax as basis OF meeting national
expenses. The debate began at II
O'Clock and lasted till after O'Clock.
Some fine work was done on both sides,
but not vote changed, Of course. But
the republican seats were gradually
deserted, and the Populists held the
field. "'Twas glorious victory"
The week was not allowed to pass
without an attempt to get recognition
for the Douglass house. Senator Par
ker demanding that his bills be messaged
to the Douglass house was ruled out OF
order, and his appeal from the chair was
not sustained.
Monday afternoon resolution came
up declaring that "the statements cir
culated by the newspapers to the effect
that we threaten legislation" tending to
repudiation, was for political effect. The
biz end Of Senator Sterne's mouth got
loose and he moved to insert the word
"Alliance" before newspapers. Instantly
Senator Denn1son moved to insert ire

whoop. sterne looked silly and fled a

better than to be impudent.

With this issue of the Tribune ap.
pears the delinquent tax list of 1898.
1t is a lengthy and pathetic showing.
We believe that the names of many
appear who have made diligent eff
fort to meet The inevitable tax. Those
are entitled to the most genert us
consideration and the burden which
cannot be completely lifted, ought to
be lightened to the greatest possible
extent. The past year has been
fraughs with depression and distress.
To obtain money has in all cases been
difficult and in many cases impossi-
BILE. The trite Jest turns to a mel
ancholy truth and even the delin-
quent tax list takes up the dismal re-
frain-"The country is gone Demo-
cratic" Under the law, severe PEN
alties are attached to delinquency.
To the original assessment is added
10 per centum, then so cents on each
piece or parcel OF property, separate
ly assessed and, finally, one dollar to
each delinquent assessment to pay
cost of publication. We think all of
these penalties may be remi,ted.
Perhaps not legally, to speak hy the
sta.ute-hut they may be ramittsd.

CHAs. MAYR, of Colorado, who has
made an examination of The Mountain
Queen mine, at Grimes Pass, SAYS he
can work the ore cheaper by the
leeching process than by milling. The
mill saves practically Y all the gold ex-
cept what is carried in the sulphurets.
Henry Whitney, the Superintendent,
sent tailings to the State minerolo-
g,st of Massachusetts, aud about all
the gold he got out of them was what
was contained in the sulphurets. This
speaks well for the mill, considering
the fact of the fineness of the gold.
Mr.. Mayr made tests of the tailings
and the assays showed from 40 cents
to $3.50 per ton. The biggest as
says were from iailings near the
plates, little of the gold having run
over. Mr.. Mayr says the leeching
process is cheaper than milling, and
also works closer,

cratic appointees for Idaho, the last
being j. H. Forney. who has been
confirmed as U. S. Attorney for this

more than any of the an,agonistic

He has strong personal friends among
the Democrats, and he makes his in

makes the friends of those who fail
to get there, hopping mad. Those
who have joyously y regaied themselves
with the soothing effects ut the happy
but delusive thought that Fred's in
tluence in naming Idaho appointees
would cease with the overthrow of
the Republican party, are now woe

mi,ted to pluck tho fruits of victory.
IT'S pretty tough. it must be admitted,
but then we don't see how it can be

be stopped, had best he dropped.
This would save unnecessary trouble

Boss, Christmas Day, 1893.

En-. WORLD. The world moves" /"
GaliIeo wore the chains Of criminal
for making this assertion. We are
on the last coil Of the year 1893, one
of the historic years Of America. The
great Worlds Fair It Chicago called
together the people Of al known ma
,ions on this planet, with their science
and art, inventions in mechanism, and
the natural wonders and curiosities Of
every land from the earliest ages up
to the present time, and exhibited ia
space Of 600 acres Of land. To fall
ly describe this magnificent collection
would be the work Of lifetime. The
most interesting article 10 6 Of
the western hemisphere - the new
world WAS . small wooden ball,
oblong in shape, about three inches
in diameter, together with an old pair
of rusty iron compasses or dividers.
This wooden ball, over 400 years ago,
was carved and shaped by the hand
of Columbus, who in his second in
terview with King Ferdinand and
Queen Isabella ard their Cabinet, by
the use of this bali ard compasa, IL
lnstrsted the worlds shape and
philosophically argued the FEAST
hility Of the discovery Of . great and
then unknown land. He called the
attention Of the King and Queen and
Council to the undeniab'e fact Of the
sun rising every morning in the east,
for twelve hours giving light and hes,
to the people of the eastern hemis-
phere, then disappearing in the far
western ocean to give light and hea:
for twelve hours to the unknown peo-
pie of an unknown land. The great
explorer then addressed the Court in
substantially these words: IL appeal
to the superior intelligence of your
royal majesties of Spain, your Court
and government, to land your thought
for one moment and ask yourselves if
that great God who is the author Of
mans existence and the creator of all
things, created that brilliant orb Of
heaven for the purpose of giving
light and heat for twelve hours, then
disappearing in unknown space, lying
in idleness for twelve hours, then get
ting out of bed in the east every morn
ing opposite the western point?' Co
lumbus exclaimed, "This cannot pos
siblv be! Another land and another
people enjoy the blessings and COM
forts of the light and heat of this
same sun. This unknown country,
your royal msjes,ies, is the land de-
sire to discover, and appeal TO YOU
for the necessary assistance to follow
this sun around the globe which this
wooden ball in my hand represents.
Isabella, the noble Queen, rises from
her chair, and asks the amount OF
money required for such a voyage.
Columbus mentioned the amount and
the Queen unloosed the jewels from
her neck, saying: "Any one gem in
this necklace will pay for your whole
outfit. Take it. | pray that God
may protect YOU" Any one who
visited the great fair and failed to
find time to go through the old Span
ish Monastery OH the hank of the la
goon on the fair grounds, failed to
see the greatest curiosity there. This
little ball, now four hundred years
old, served as a convincing illustra.
ton 10 the mind of Queen Isabella OF
the possibilities of the discovery of a
