Bartender Tappings Was DUST About to
Put in IA Claim That Might Have Made
Him Its Owner--Its License Had Lapsed
Worth Million Doilarf.
SPOKANE FALLS, WASH, Feb. 11.-A
story has just leaked out that u man
named Tappings, bartender, made an
attempt to jump the famous War Eagle
mine, gold and copper mine in Trail
Greek, B. c., valued at 81 100000.
Patsy Clark, the millionaire miner,
who is president of the War Eagle Co.,
was wired at Spokane Falls of the situa-
ton and danger Of the mine being
jumped. He with ID. Q. Corbin, presi.
dent of the Spokane & Northern rail-
road, and also stockholder in the
mine, ordered ont special engine and
coach, and mile minute gait was
struck for Nelson, B. c., 200 miles north
Of here, where new license was Sc
cured, the old one having expired.
Under the Canadian mining laws, it
is necessary to take out license in
order to work or hold any mining prop
crty. Clark then Immediately returned
to the mines and showing Tappings the
| license induced him to abandon his at
tempt to jump the mine.

An afternoon paper has made charges

POlNTSIN POLITICS.

U OlAN i q NV VEIL SCs
The newspaper in Omaha that il con-
Quoted by the person whose mental and
moral responsibility are in question. has.
with considerable difficulty. bsen sayed
frum destruction by spontaneous com
bustion during the pleasant little con-
troversy over the Omaha fire and police
commission. The most strenuous efforts
could not prevent display OF temper
that has added to the burden OF ridicule
already resting on the bumped shoal-
ders OF Mr.. Rosewater. His venomous
attacks on Attorney General Churchill
and Mr.. W. j. Broatch and others
would. perhaps, have received serious
consideration had they emanafed from
q source OF mental or moral responsible
ity. Coming from Mr.. Roeewater they
have had approximately the same effect
on the public mind as that Of drop OF
water falling on the rolling bosom Of the
ocean.
William j. Bro afch has managed to
get along and live measursbly happy
under the displeasure Of the afflicted
Mr. Rosexater. and as he reals in the
Bee that he, Broatch. is political des-
perado," as ''gepteel political pirate as
ever scuttled a ship or cut a throat" etc.
etc, can imagine a plying smile on
his rudy face. Mr.. Broatch is gentle
man and man Of intelligence, and he
is not man to be affected by the petty
shafts Of doddering responsibility.
in the course OF Mr. Rosewateris more
or less frenzi ed editorial expressions.
he was abusive OF certain persons who
presumed to criticize the governor. The
Office Of governor. contended Mr.. Rose
water, is q high Office and IT should be
respected. This is an amusing effront-
cry on the part Of the senile and irres
ponsible editor Mr. Roeewater having
lost that full possession Of his faculties
that makes one mentally responsible,
doubtless forgets that he has maligned
every governor OF Nebraska in fifteen
years who has not yielded to his dicta-
tion. Governor Thayer, if he keeps a
scrap book, could produce some Rose
waterisms directed against himself that
would show that the editor OF the Bee
has about the same respect for the CUB
ernatorial Office that he has for the
truth; and it is not a matter Of record
that he ever bestowed any consideration
whatever on the truth. Senility is a
dreadful thing when its manifestations
are perforce exposed to the public.
The manner IN which delegates to the
republican state convention are chosen
in this county is not altogether salts
factory to the rank and file OF the party.
Indeed, il the truth we're told. it is alto
gether unsatisfactory. IT has been the
custom for some years past. for the
county convention to make the regular
nominations, transact other necessary
business. and then adjourn. leaving the

that he announced the names OF the
chosen delegates. There was consid
cradle fault finding. Mr.. Moore was moi
particularly at fault as he followed an
established precedent. The question
was raised at the time. Were the dele
gates the proper representatives OF tb'
republicans OF the county: 1t was init
mated that the right Of the delegation
TO a seat in the convention might b,
be contested, inasmuch as il VA
not chosen at the county convention
The naming Of a delegation in THU
manner is not republican and it is moi
necessary, and for the sake OF harmony
and good feeling in the party, it would
be wise to return to the old plan and
select the delegates while the convention
is in session. 1t is urged as an an excuse
for the system that has recently been
followed. that the county's candidate
can make his own selections better thar
the convention; that il the republicans
Of the county are really for him, there
can be no harm in allowing him to name
the delegation. Certainly if the county
has a candidate and has instructed foI
him that candidate ought to have some
thing to say as to who shall 60 on the
delegation. But the candidate would
not lose anything by submitting the
names to the convention and having
them elected by the convention. Such
a course is more open, and more closely
In accord with republican ideas than
the other way.
The state convention this year will be
comparatively unimportant, and there il
no general desire for place on the dele
aation. There will be no serious oppo
sition to the denomination OF Judge
Norvsl, and the two candidates FOR
regents will doubtless be selected with
out difficulty. Mr.. Morrill, has had
nothing to say as to bis candidacy for
denomination; but it seems to be gener-
ally understood that he will be renom.
mated in recognition OF biz valuable
services.
There has been talk OF raising the
Roeewater issue In the state convention
and should this be done there would be
some lively developments. Then there
may be an attempt to force free silver
resolution on the convention. There il
a considerable sentiment opposed to any
expression on this subject, il being an

when a newspaper is compelled to tier
ate such buncombe as this il must be
lacking in faith in itself. and fearful
OF its place in the public's estimation.
The preliminary skirmish is over. The
precincts have expressed themselves.
1t remains for the county convention to
select from the fsvorite sons and name
the ticket. There are good. strong men
among the candidates for every Office,
and if the convention will be reasonably
careful in making up the ticket, repub-
lican success is assured from the start.
There are those who believe that the
republicans will be successful in captur
ing every Office, regardless Of the candi-
dates selected; but there is a very gen.
eral opinion that notwithstanding the
favorable outlook. some care is not only
desirable. but necessary, II the Offices
now held by Judge Tibbetts. Elias
Baker and Freu Miller are to be reclaim
ed TO the republican party. The indi-
cations are that ticket will be named
that will receive the cordial support Of
the party and be successful at every
point.
The convection will be the most inter
esting county convention since the
memorable occasion when S. ". Burn
ham was first nominated for treasurer.
In the first place there will be a very
spirited contest over the iudgeships. and
some acrimony may be exhibited at the
outset. The treasurer and commission
er will be nominated by reclamation,
and then will come the principal battle,
the fight for the nomination for clerk
Of the district court. There will be
three formidable candidates and posi-
bl. more. OF course the nominee will
be selected from the city. There are. all
told. fifteen candidates for county clerk
and it may take several ballots to make
a choice. After the district court clerk
ship has been disposed of, the biggest
contest will be over the nomination for
sheriff. with two country candidates.
Trompen and Smith, and five or six
from the city. 1t is probable that the
nomination for county Judge will be
made on the firstor second ballot. and one
ballot will probably settle the nomina-
ton Tor county superintendent. The
surveyor and coroner will 60 in easily.
In the city convention there will be a
considerable contest over the nomina.
tionsf for justice Of the peace.
