The old theory that Arizona
gold mines 'don't 60 down is now
thoroughly exploded. The trouble
has been that system of pocket
mining has prevailed and the pocket
miners did not 60 down after the
ledges which happened to Jump off
a few feet. OF late years a few
men have started an era of deep
mining IN this vicinity, and in no
single instance has there been a
failure in a gold mine proving as
rich or richer than on the surface
as depth was reached ; and it has
also been demonstrated that the
surest way to get mine is to take
up one of these worked-out surface
gold pockets and sink for the ledge.
Some of the richest discoveries
made in the last few years have
been made in just this way.-The
Courier.

Under such treaty it would seem
that Mexico will speedily become a

allegiance to Mexico, but really
paying tribute to and giving entire
allegiance to China. This treaty

Queer Articles for Food.

At the department of agriculture in
Washington, hidden away in an OBJ
scure corner, is an odd sort of exhibit
of queer food eaten by out-of-the-way
people. There is loaf of bread made
from roasted leaves of a plant allied to
the century plant. Another kind OF
bread is from a dough of juniper ber-'
ries. These are relished by some tribes
of Indians while others manufacture
cakes out of different kinds of bulbs.
The prairie Indians relish a dish of
wild turnips which civilized people
would not be likely to enjoy at all. In
the great American desert the ''screw
BEANS" which grow on mesquite
bushes are utilized for food. Soapber-
ries furnish an agreeable diet for some
savages in this country, while in Cali
fornia the copper-colored aborigines
do not disdain the seeds of salt grass.
Also in California the Digger Indians
collect pinenuts, which are the seeds OF
a certain species of pine-sometimes
called pinions"-by kindling fires
against the trees, thus causing the nuts
to fall out of the cones. At the same
time a sweet gum eXudes from the
bark, serving the purpose of sugar.
The seeds of gourds are consumed in
the shape Of mush by Indians in Ari
zona.-Washington Star.

provide for the protection OF minor
tiles. but the Democratic party has
been the champion OF that idea, and
wherever it's influence was potential
the constitutions formed by the states
sought to throw o shield about the
minority, 80 that this should be gov
ernment so broad in its functions that
every man in it should be protected
from imposition and oppression from
any source whatever. so completely
has that idea obtained in our organic
law that minorities have been pro.
tecsed to such an extent that they are
assuming control of maiorities.
1t is time that the Democratic party
at least should call halt to their
ranks in this roughshod march over
a majority government, 1t is time
that it's members of the senate should
be taught to respect the rights OF the
house of representatives and it is
most especially time that it should
teach its recalcitrant members of the
senate to put a stop to their revolu-
tionary methods in taking advantage
of a small majority to defeat the great
and sovereign majority of the people
of the United States. 1t ia quite evil
dent from this birdseye view OF the
situation that we are rapidly depart
ing from tho fundamental principles
of the government when these princi-
ciples have served to nurture our
form of government into perfect, full
grown and perpetual government
governed by msjorities, and that, at
tie very acme of our greatness, this
danger of a government by an oil
garchy threatens us.

THE FAILURE OF PULLMAN'S
TOWN PLAN,

THE FAILURE OF PULLMAN'S
TOWN PLAN.
The continued distress at Pullman
empasiZes the fact that a town owned
or controlled by one man or one corr
pany, and the citizens OF it employed
In the mills or shops of that one man or
company complicates the issues that
alise between the lahorers and en-
ployer. Experience has taught that
even the plan Of the employer paying
partly in orders on his own store
is embarrassing and compll-
eating to the business transactions OF
the two parties interested. 1t has
been invariably the case that the
workman complain that y store owned
by their employer charges more and
sells inferior articles to other stores
run by competition, and If they had
the liberty Of buying with The cash at
other stores il would be largely TO
their advantage.
II the connection OF empioye and
employer produces friction, when that
is the only outside transaction be-
tween the parties, certainly the trlc-
ton would be greatly increased if tn
employe was compelled to rent his
house. water and lights from his en-
ployer. The friction naturally IN
creases just IN proportion to the
things for which the laborer depends
upon his employer for the support
of himself and family. In the first
place il increases ihe number Of agents
employed end each agent makes every
effort TO recommend himself to his

MINORITY RULE.

The general idea that this, a repub-
lican form OF government, is ruled by
the majority has been severely contra
dlcted by the action of the senate up
on the erstwhile Wilson tariff bill.
The senate itself is the minority leg
islative assembly of the government
provided by the founders of the re-
public to check and crush the reck'
lessness of the majority of the house
OF representatives. When this gov
eminent was an experiment and the
form of government tentative the in
tention to make the senate conserva-
tive check on the house of representa-
tives was very wise and prudent. Ii
was an effort to escape wreck on the
rock Of "pure democracy" that had at
all times in the histories Of other
countries proved fatal by its excuses
from the liberty insured by a repre-
sentative majority to the license
grasped by the mob. We have, how
ever, passed the experimental day OF
government and emerged from the
tentative to the tried and stable
form of perpetuity, and the
assumption of the senate TO
control with its minority amounts
to an audaoity, to say the least of it,
that is unbearabls. Especially is that
the case when the senate assumes the
powers OF originating revenue bill
which is unconstitutional. The power
to originate revenue bills is vested
! alone in the house of representatives.
All bills to provide revenue for the
government must originate in the
house of representatives and that very
constitutional right OF the house car
ries with it prohibition to the senate
of so changing any such bills thatthey
lose all the original provisions stamp
ed upon them in their Legitimate
birthplace.
But when q few men in the senate
take control of that body 10 so en-
phasize the minority rule as to prac
tically change the form of the govern
ment iuto that Of an obligarchy, it il
time that the liberties of the people
under well adjusted distribution o
powers among the different branche;
Of the government should take alarm
! The present session CT congress
has not only dem Onstrated tht
fact that the senate is attempting
10 establish a government by tn,
minority, but by a small cabal OF tina
minority. This, indeed, is an in
fringement on the right of majoritie
togovern that was never contemplated
by the fathers when in their grea
care to establish a permanent govern
ment they placed such vast powers il
the hands OF the minority to protec
minorities from oppression.
The conditions have material.

iected to. The laborer has constant
and annoying friction with these
agents, who have nothing to do with
the actual employment OF the ia0orer'
Just like it is with the proprietor's
store, if the employe had the right 10

competition and rent his house and
transact that and al other business
with agents who were not suOserVlens

not do better he would be relieved OF
the constant exactinns made by the
agents of his employer.
The whole conception Of such tow n
as Pullman is q delusion and It's prac-
tical operations snare that Will
keep it's citizens in hot water all the
time. 1t is highly probable that Pull
mans operatives would not have en-
tered upon q strike but for the eXac-
tions of the same price for rent, water
and lights from the agents OF Pullman
when their wages were reduced.
They might have submitted to a re-
duction of wages in the hard times
which the company was experiencing
if Pullman had reduced their rents,
but if they lived in the houses OF other
landlords they would not have been
go unreasonable as to blame Pullman
because they could not get their rents
reduced. In fact rent was the bone
of contention that brought about the
strike and which was taken adVart-

1t is TOO late now to remedy the mis-
chief but it ought to be a warning
both to capitalist manufacturers ana
to mill operatives. If the manuiac-
turer will be satiefied with the legltl-
mate profits OF his factory, pay
his operatives in hard cash for
their labor and let them go to other
landlords for houses, water ana llghts
he will be released of all the embar-
easements that bring about strikes,
except the single thing of wages. 1t
ought also to be warning to all
operatives to avoid such town and
keep themselves independent, for the
necessaries OF life, of his employer.
Avoid such place and you will avoid
the hundred and one annoyances that
must always exist in such an arrange
lnent as the town of Pullman presents.

Mr.. Cleveland has set aside Repub-
lican form of government and
that congress represents not the
will of the people, but that of Cleve-
land. When men will listen to such
rot as that in their secret meetings, it
is quite certain that the organization
to which they belong looks at every
thing through the clouded glasses of
prejudice and that such an organiza-
ton cannot benefit anybody, but like
an excrescence will ipjure the symme-
try of the body polite. The Farm.
ers Alliance got the blind staggers

discussion into their meetings and it
is today more moribund than alive.

SENATOR HILLS bill excluding an

SENATOR Hills bill excluding an
archists from the United States is
mild in its penalties compared to the
French law. Senator Hill's bill pros
vides that "No alien anarchist shall
hereafter be permitted to land at any
port in the United States nor be ad.
mitted into the United States, but
this shall not be so construed as to
apply to political refugees or political
offenders other than such anarchists"
Anyone reported to be all anarchist
shall under this bill be given a hear
ing before he is allowed 10 land, and
ifthe charge is proven the secretary
oft he treasury shall require his depor.
tation. Alien anarchists who are
already here may be tried before any
court and sentenced to deportation.
We highly approve of this bill, but
it does not go far enough. Many of
the anarchists of this country are nat
uraliZed and there are some native
born fools who are anarchists. Or
course it would be impossible
to Danish naturaJized or native
born anarchists, but the government
certainly is not powerless to protect
itself from the violence and rapine OF
native. born and naturalizsd anarch-
lists. Under the spirit of our laws
dealing with this class of anarchists
an overt act would have to be the
basis of prosecution, These anarch-
lists are endangering the safety of
society and the very life of the gov.
eminent, and all of them, alien and
native, ought to be handled with the
strong hand of suppression.

Glass does not often meet with the
delicate attention that it deserves, and
this Notwithstanding that really bril-
liantly FURNISHED glass makes most
striking show upon any table.
Warm, but not hot, water should be
used for glass. A wooden bowl is safer
than a china one, and should be kept
scrupulously clean with rinsings of
soda and hot water Every cloth
wherewth to rub the glass must be as
soft as soft can be--and as dry. Unless
the polishing cloth be really dry the
glass does not take any brilliancy, rub
as you may.
Ammonia, rock salt and tea leaves
put into decanter with some warm
water, and vigorously shaken up and

THE San Antonio Express expresses
the opinion that free wool will drive
the wool growers out of the business.
Since the senate bill containing the
free wool clause passed that body, and
even before it became law, but with
prospect of its becoming law, wool
has gone up in the markets. That
don't look like the wool growers will
be crowded out of the markets by
Australian competition as intimated
by the Express. 1t is wonderful how
things will even up in this world, and

GLORIOUS DEMOCRACY.

Democracy stands before the nation
with visor up and lance at rest, ready
and anxious to make the gallantly
hel ole fight of its life and confident
it's most signal victory. Its financial
policy as outlined by its great Chief at
first met with serious opposition
among the rank and file of the parry,
but as the needle turns to this pole go
mas Grover Cleveland held his party
toward the north stat of our financial
hope, an honest and absolutely debt
paying dollar. So fixed has been his
purpose, so convincing his argument
and so unbounded is the confidence OF
the people in him, that on every side
he has constantly gained recruits
until now every where in this broad
land is the conviction heard express
ed that ne was and ia right, and the
Democratic party SO far from being
rent in twain on the silver question
Is now practically a unit
on the broad and statesmanlike plat
form of Grover Cleveland for honest
money. The silver issue will not
figure in this falls Democratic CAM
paign.
On the great question of tariff re-
form, tor which the Democratic party
has made half century fight, we have
very much over which to rejoice. Our
party in congress hag made a gallant
fight to redeem every promise made
to the people, and but for Jew trait
ors in the senate it would many
months ago have accomplished its
purpose. But as it is q tremendous
stride ahead has been taken, the
popular branch of congress has done
its full duty, and in going before the
sovereigns this fall on that record, 1t
will receive the eXultant commenda'
ton of the people, and its memb rs
will be returned to complete the work
now so well begun. So ii is that ma
tionally, the great Democratic party,
with the silver question eliminated,
stands ready to pitch the battle on
the one issue OF tariff reform, and
on it gain q signal victory.
The like happy condition OF affairs
exists as to our state politics. Here
too, the silver question is no longer a
bone of contention, but reunited
Democracy stands ready to sweep the
field on great and important stale
questions. With platform to which
every Democrat can point with pride,
with state ticket composed of Gupert
men, leaders that must make any
cause triumphant, Democracy IN
Texas will this year have victory
sweeping in character and tremen
dous in its effects for good.
And superb as is our state ticket
old Travis can congratulate hersel
that no county in the state can put
forth better men to ill rhe county
offices than she has done Our ticket

on either ticket, will triumph thii
