Let the people of the country unite at
once IN demand for National Consti-
tutlonal Convention. A new constitution
IS necessary to free the people from the
tyranny OF that new species of dictators-
the Supreme Court Judge.
Monopoly has discovered that by cap
turing the Judiciary it can establish a
virtual dictatorship. The Judges not the
people now make and unmake the laws.
The hosts of freedom must unite for a
new constitution and in the meantime
concentrate on the Judges. Laws are
what the judges make them. Get the
Judges you have the law. Therefore get
the judges and elect only courageous
ones. But demand new constitution
and let the convening of the National
Assembly be the signal for the great
reconstruction.-Ps Farmer.
The MIDLAND JOURNAL would make
the 10000, 900 people who constitute these
United States the Judges and Supreme
Court in all decisions of political ques-
tions, and coufne the Supreme Court to
the determining of civil cases. What
business have nine old granny lawyers in
silk petticoats to set up their "opinion'
against the congress of the United States.
The only safety to the liberties of the
people is direct appeal to them for
decision on all doubtful political ques-
tions, and let their decision constitute the
supreme law of the land, above all COLI
stitutions and hair splitting judicial tech
nlcalities. In this late decision of the
income tax we see decision of nine old
granny lawyers, embracing several opin-
ions which serves to muddle the question
and expose the utter folly of submitting
great national questions to such tribunal
while exposing their incapacity to deal
with such questions. The gold monopoly
with all its bribed and subsidized news
papers engaged in preconcerted method
ical effort to bulldoze the court, with what
success is too plainly seen in their wab-
bling decision. Had the question gone
to the great tribunal of the people the
income tax would have been established
ten to-one as the law of the land.
The people of to-day should constitute
themselves the judges of their own affairs,

and the time is ripe for putting it in
practice. The greatest article is vet to be
added to the constitution. Supreme

After the great reform battle is won

For cleaning painted surfaces
unvarnished put upon a plate some
whiting, have ready some clean
water and piece of clean flannel
which dip into the water and
squeeze dry, then take as much
whiting as will adhere to it, and
apply to the painted surface, when
a little rubbing will instantly re-
move any dirt or grease; wash well
off with water and rub dry with
soft cloth. Painted articles thus
cleaned look equal to new, and
without in1uring the most delicate
color; it will preserve the paint
much longer than if cleaned with
soap.
Iron stains on marble can usually
be removed by rubbing with lemon
juice. All most all other stains
may be taken off by mixing one
ounce of finely powdered chalk, one
ounce of pumice stone and two
ounces of common soda. Sift these
two together through a fine sieve,
and mix with water. When
thoroughly mixed rub this mixture
over the stains and they will dis
appear. Wash the marble after
this with soap and water, and dry
and polish with chamois skin.
A very nice dish that will answer
for dessert is made by cutting in
two, lengthwise, a loaf of plain cake.
Scoop out the centre and fill with
stewed fruit or canned apricots or
peaches, Lay on the top of the
cake again and add a layer of icing
or some whipped cream. Stale cake
may be use in this way.

ORIGIN OF THE BANJO.
A Primitive Instrument In 1910, With It's
Own Peculiar Airs.


Own Peculiar Airs.
The banjo was in use long before the
day of Joe Sweeney. 1t was principally
played by the negroes, and was indeed a
rude and simple instrument. The first
one ever saw was made in this way
A large gourd covered with raw sheep
skin served for the drum, and the strings
were of horsehair, pulled from white
horses tail 1t had only four strings I
am confident that Sweeney added the
bass string. My fathers carriage driver
was a banjo player. He played two or
three changeless tunes on one cord.
saw Joe Sweeney for the first time about
1S42, while I was at school at Prince
Edward Court House He and his brother
Sam were together. Joe led on the vio-
lin and Sam played the banjo. Both had
good voices, especially Sam, q rich, full
baritone of great sweetness and power,
Even at this distant day can recall
some of the tunes they sang-"Old Dan
Tucker, " "Do Johnnie Booker, " "Juli-
anna johnson, p" "Oh, Susanna" "The
Blue Tailed Fly, - "Jim Crack Corn, :"
and 81 Don't Care %
When I saw the brothers again, the
character Of the music was somewhat
changed, and was much more sentiment
tai and sympathetic. They rendered such
pieces as Dearest May, !" "Rosa Lee, :"
"Annie of the Vale, "Nellie Was a
Lady, and "Ellen Bayne," with won
derful effect. These airs were melodious
and concordant, and often brought tears
to the eyes of the audience. Joe Sweeney
was above the medium size, and of
fine proportions. He had light hair and
ruddy complexion. He had wonderful
facial powers. He could change his ex-
preston in a moment from grave to
comic.
Sweeney as a negro delineator was in
imitable. He knew the negro we'll, and
was perfectly natural, and, like Polk
Miller, never overdid his work. One of
his performances always excited ap-
plause. His old Virginia breakdown, a
jig tune, he danced, and made his own
music with his banjo hung around his
neck with string. Sweeney was entire
ly uneducated, but he was naturally
UllSuu, duu uo Olteu IQdQ6 smart local
hits that brought down the house.
Sweeney gave notoriety to the banjo and
brought it into popular favor. His habits
were improvident, and he was the sub
ject of many temptations. He lived a
life of unselfish generosity and died in
poverty. He spent his last days in the
county Of Appomattox. I have heard
this story about him. do not vouch for
it's truth:
Before he died, his mind wandering,
he said to his sister: "Come here. The
old banjo is out of tune, the screws are
slipping, and the bridge is about to
fall - These were the last words of the
old fellow, who had charmed two con-
tinents with his melody and song. His
brother Sam was in the cavalry service
during the war. He often played for
General Stuart, and the brave troopers
would dance to his merry music as he
sang:
"If you want a happy time, jine the
cavalry
never heard of him after the war

Nothing Succeeds Like Success.

1t can be said without fear of
contradiction that no medicine has
had greater success in curing
coughs, colds, hOarseness and con-
sumption than Pan-Tina. This
celebrated remedy stops coughing,
soothes the throat and lungs, and
induces good nights rest. Hun
dreds can testify to the remarkable
and life-saving virtues of this great
remedy. Pan-Tina costs only %

With the showing just now being
made by the Ibex. Messrs. Campbell.
Mount and Holbrook, the owners. are
extremely we'll pleased, for recent de-
velopments have opened up new ore
bodies which carry an average of two
ounces in gold. Regular shipments OF
this class of stuff are now being made
TO the valley smelters. Settlements
for two carloads were effected yester-
day and another shipment of the
same size will so to the samplers to-
day. This ore is coming right from
the place where the former operat tors
discontinued operations because they
could not secure sufficient of the high
grade to ship. Experts who have Wis
tied the properties and seen a sample
of the former workings are of the
opinion that the people then in charge
did not use the proper amount of care
and common horse sense in the sort
ing of the ore.
Messrs. Mount and Holbrook came
up from the South yesterday morning
and a consultation with Mr. Campbell
Immediately followed. The first named
work at the properties and reported TO
the others that everything is in first
class shape there. 1t was decided to
push the development with vigor and
the ore will be followed down. At
present the workings in the mines are
$50 feet deep. with ore practically all
the way down. The gentlemen are
very well pleased with the reports
made and on the side expressed graft
fication that the IbeX people did not
make good their agreements and pay
the balance on the purchase price.

THEY ARE NOT WORRIED.
They Are Preparing Answers to the
Recently Filed Complaints.

The recent planting of a suit against
them by the Phoenix Mining company
did not carry much terror into the
ranks of the Coromandel people, even
though the plaintiff in the case did
claim title to some of the properties
making up the group. General Man
ager Duggan came in from Bingham
yesterday afternoon, and when seen by
Herald reporter. stated that he and
his associates were losing no sleep on
account of the bringing of the suit.
On the other hand, they are confident
of ultimate success and the answers
to the allegations made in the COM
p1aint of the Phoenix company are be-
ing prepared for submission within
the next day or two.
1t is the Harriet No. that is direct
ly involved in the suit. although the
plaintiff company contests the appli-
cation for patent on the whole of the
Coromandel group. These claims are
simply laughed at by the owners of
the latter properties and they declare
that they are prepared to go before
the court and prove full and complete
ownership of every claim that they
had ever located or developed. 1t will
be remembered that the Coromandel
people had a great legal battle with
the Petro company over the Democrat
lode and won their suit. Although. as
directly interested in the Democrat
property as in the Harriet, the Phoenix
company made no move during the en-
tire progress of the case, but now it
steps in and claims everything in
sight
Speaking of the general conditions
of the Coromandel Mr.. Duggan stated
that they were never better. The prop
erty is just now a heavy shipper of
ore and the values therein are very
satisfactory.

FOUR PER CENT. BONDS.
A NEW DANGER Is FACING THE
SYNDICATE.
Bonds Recently Placed Abroad
VIII Soon Return Here in Large
Quantities, il is Said.

NEW YORK, Aug. "a local paper
saws:
The $50, 900 600 of new United States
per cent bonds sold abroad by the
Belmont-Morgan bond syndicate, have
been delivered in London to the in
dividual subscribers, and d goodly por-
ton of them will start back at once
for the United States. This is a new
danger which the syndicate will have
to face.
So long as the subscribers to the
bonds abroad only have interest-bear-
ing scrip in their possession, calling for
the delivery of bonds on August s, the
syndicate was in control of the situa-
ton, as holders of scrip could only sell
contracts to deliver the bonds when
released by the syndicate managers in
London.
The London price of the scrip has
been below the New York price for the
bonds over two months and the hold
ers cannot resist the temptation to
negotiate sales for future delivery in
New York Considerable ''arbitrag e''
business has also been done in the
bonds.
There have been small sales thus
made, aggregating in all about $1,000
600 bonds 1t is understood in addition
IldL negotiations nave DeeIl con-
summated for the sale of one block Of
S., OOO, 900 of bonds A large portion Of
these bonds will be shipped within a
week
The return of $40 900 of the bonds
to this country. or one-third of the
entire amount placed abroad. within a
week following the actual delivery of
the bonds in London is startling.
Every bond which is sold here by the
foreign holders must be paid for either
in gold or bill of exchange and the
difficulty of controlling the foreign ex~
change market SO as to prevent ex-
tensive exports of gold is correspond.
ing1y intensified.
1t is believed that a considerable por-
ton, If not the better part of the
bonds placed abroad, will return to
this country within a short period
The reasons are very simple. There
is a demand for the bonds here for
uses beyond a mere investment
The banks contested eagerly for the
new bonds when they were put out, as
they provide much more profitable
basis for circulation than the per
cent bonds which We're issued by the
government in the previous loans The
banks throughout the country have
importuned their New York correspon-
dents to obtain lots of $50, 900. 500 900
and $150,000 of the bonds. The New
York market being bare of the bonds,
they can only be obtained in London.
