Tie PoIe,s Attractinn

The poles attraction for other oh.
jects besides the magnetic needle has,
up to the present time, been at best
imperfectly understood, owing to the
incompleteness of the data furnished
by those who make such matters
study. That many objects possess a
well-marked polarity, however, there
is not the least doubt. 1t is a we'll.
known fact that if bar of soft iron
be suspended sufficiently long in the
air, say at height of from one to
four feet above the surface, it will be-
come magnetized, and no odds in what
position it was originally placed, it will
tf so balanced as to BE- free to novel,
eventually assume north and south
direction.

suit being the circulation Of the rumof
that the bOdy had been actually found
a. stated. On Thursday evening, about
q O'Clock, sheriff Belnap with one or
two others started for Paradise creek,
fully expecting to return with the body
OF Taylor, but diligent search failed to
discover any trace OF the missing man.
Last night the sheriff and party ro-
turned, leaving about fiity men TO con
tinue the search until Sunday.
Mrs. Taylor, vile Of the missing man,
was 20 affected over the news " rhurs'
day that the services OF n physician
had 10 be procured. She 10 saiu 10 DO
Ia a pfecarious condition consequent
upon the shock. There were many

AFTER all that has been said
about the convict lease system, and
despite the late enactment of the
Legislature on the subject, that
troublesome question is apparently
as far from practical solution as
ever. Under the old law the con
yicts were leased in a body to one
set of lessees, but under the new Law
the entire number can be sub .diyid
ed and let out to as many lessees as
desire to employ them. The result
being that they are as certainly leas
ed as formerly, and come in active
competition with free labor no less
effectively than before. Surely what
to do with the convicts is still q
perplexing problem.

tea or coffee, or on any article that
enters upon the breakfast or the din
ner table. The eastern democrats
are opposed to an income tax almost
invariably. Ofcourse there are ex-
ceptiens
Every one knows that the election
of Mr.. Cleveland and the triumph of
the democratic party generally at
the last election was notice to the
world that the tax paying system
of the United States was to be chang
ed. Consequently importers, with
the expectation of having duties re-
duced by the next congress, have
been avoiding Importation. AS a
general rule it is the custom of bust
ness men engaged in the importation
of foreign goods to look couple of
years ahead, but no well ballasted
importer will order goods and pay
Mckinley duties when he has rea-
son to expect that later on he can
bring them in much cheaper.
A DECLINE IN CUSTOMS DUTIES.
The result of this has been very
large decline in customs duties,
mainly because merchants are wait
ing to see what will turn up. They
expect that lower duties will be i'm
posed, and they don't want to i'm
port goods under the high tax of the
present time. This falling off of du-
ties of course embarrasses the tinan-
ces af the country, and the President
and Secretary of the treasury have
been trying to reach an understand
ing as to the policy to be pursued
by the administration in regard to
| finance and the method of raising
revenue
