The British lion appears to have
gained nothing by his recent African
experiences except the philosophy Of the
ostrich. He fancies that by excluding
Americans from his dirty little COM
mission to determine the compensation

British subjects he has kept us "out
Of It" so far as settlement of the affair
ts concerned. Before he has proceeded
very far in the enjoyment of this delu-
sion he is likely to find that we are very
much 'in It," indeed,

President Crespo Of Venezuela seems
to have made himself dlsliked pretty
generally in Europe. He has snarled
himself up now with Great Britain,
France, Germany, Italy and Belgium.
This in itself might be regarded as a
bid for the favor Of the United States,
nut the chap lacks discretion. Possibly
he could thrash them all in detail, but
the difficulty is that they are crowding
him all at once. Perhaps he will with
draw from the quarrel at critical mo-
ment and leave them to fight it out
among themselves.

A French writer states that among
recent kleptomania culprits caught in
Paris, were Russian princess, French
countess, an English duchess end n
daughter OF a reignlng sovereign. The

on the payment Of round sum for the
relief Of the poor, and when the shop
litter is known to be rich the sum ex-
acted rlses 10 as much as 10000 francs.

tainment of visiting and local members
of the order.

In view of the closing of German
markets to American cattle. there is
another direction towards which Am
erican packers might we'll turn their
attention, and that is the preparation
and sale of horse meat. The above is
the suggestion made by United States
Consul E. w. Tingle of Brunswick,
Germany, in a report to the state de-
partment. He say that in large Ger
man cities the consumption of horse
meat is almost as great as that of beef
and mutton and it is growing in smaller
towns. OF course. the customers. are
exclusively of the poorer classes, but
they comprise nine-tenths of the coun-
try and the meat is sold for ! cents a
pound, against beef at from Is to- 25
cents. The counsel sets out reasons
to prove that horse meat is quite as
good as beef. He says the demand has
increased SO rapidly in Germany that
it is difficult to meet it.. and whereas,
buchers formerly paid from s. to so
for a o out horse for slaughter,
they pay $45 and $50 and prices are
rising.-Dillon Examiner.

RICHMOND FLAT, April I6. Especial
Correspondence. THE two weeks of
good weather which we all enjoyed.
suddenly ended Sunday, when a regu-
lar old fashioned North Easter set in.
OF course, ranchmen and placer miners
wear a big smile on their faces for it is
thousands of dollars in their pockets:
but If you think the quartz haulers at
the Revenues considered the storm a
blessing for their business you are
away off. The roads were in good
condition and the teamsters had the
mill nearly hidden out of sight with
ore when the storm came. 1t will re-
duce the surplus ore at the mill very
much before the roads get in good
condition again.
The Revenue Company employs
about sixty men and reduces sixty ton
OF ore every t%wenty-four hours.
The Monitor mine will soon increase
its force. They intend to ship two car
loads of ore to Helena for reduction
next Thursday.
At the Ga]ena, Stewart & Co., have
out about a a load of $119 + At
least their last ore went that figure at
the smelter.
Eckhardt 4 Co., near the Galena are
extracting some very rich ore and will
soon make a shipment to Butte.
The mining firm of Wallace & Pes
inc has been dissolved by mutual con-
sent. They will continue in the bust
ness single handed.
Edward johnson & Co., have four
men employed at the Rosebud mine.
MI. Wood Calvest and others of PONY
visited the Flat Tuesday.
Pat McGinty mot of salt water fame
inspected the saloon Wednesday and
Thursday. Pat when last seen, was
making tracks for Red Bluff with a
bottle of something %protruding from

l.. A. Durham, superintendent of the
Revenue properties, has returned from
Denver, after a two weeks absence
with his family.
S. K. Knox, general manager of the
Monitor company, is again in the office.
after a twenty day visit in Missouri.
BY the grapevine telegraph, we
learn that a wedding will soon come
off within ten and one half miles of the
Flat. OF course, some people may or
may not care, but we hope love made
the match on the square.
. MI. Pankey, of the Easton mine. is
looking over the Flat.
At Norris. the Tacoma company
have eight men at work on their
erty. The company is now hauling ore
to the Sterling mine for reduction.
There is shipped every Thursday
from Norris five ear load of clay to
Anaconda. Eight men are employed
to dig and haul the clay to the cars.
The wet goods store pulled up stakes
Gray Back mill and is now situat-
on the flat between the Revenue
mine and mill, where the thirsty can
get their wants supplied and their
tuned on short order.

and reorganization expenses.
Thirty million dollars more Of general

DIRECT NOMINATIONS.


A short time ago the ADVOCATE sug-
gested that Populist nominations be
made next year by direct vote of the
people instead of what are errone-
ouslY called representative conVen-
tiOns The suggestion has been re-
oeived with considerable favor, and
one valued correspondent requests
US to outline a plan of procedure.
The plan is very simple and easily
understood. It is contemplated, in
fact, and provided for by the Aus
trslisn ballot law. Section 4 Of the
law provides:
Any convention Of delegates, PRIMARY,
caucus or meeting representing a political
party, may, for the state or division thereof,
or municipality for which the convention,
primary, or meeting is held. as the case
may be, by causing a certificate of nom
inGtiOn TO beduly fled, make one such nom
ination for each Office therein 10 be
filled at the election.
Where suOh nomination is made by pPim-
aEy election, the certificate shall be signed
BY the board Of oanvasssEs, TO which the re-
turns Of suOh primary are made. Such GER
tiRoste shall be sworn TO by them 10 be
true, TO the best of their knowledge and
belief, and certificate of an oath shall be
annexed TO the certificate Of nomination.
All that is necessary, then, is to
hold a primary election instead Of
a convention. This election, would
be conducted precisely as general
election, except that Populists only
would be allowed to vote, and the
law prescribes the manner IN which
the certificates Of nomination would
be made. The names of candidates
for congress could be placed upon
the tickets for each congressional dis
triCt, and of candidates for leglsls-
tive and county officers upon the
tickets of the several districts and
counties.
By this method political chiCsnery
could not be as easily practiOed as in
political convention. and the candi-
dates selected would be more likely
to be fair representatives of the
masses of the people. This would
be simply the old Crawford county
system of Pennsylvania put in prac-
tiCe here. Why not adopt it,

THE s1NGLE-TAx ONCE MoRE


discussion between Mr.. Wakefield
and myself in the columns Of the
ADVOCATE. Various writer's have
taken up the subject and attempted
TO gain by Misrepresentation what
Mr. Wakefield failed TO gain by ar
gumsnt.
In Mr.. Wakefeld's paper, the
Western Economist, Of April l, I am
surprised TO see a pretended review
Of the discussion by Quincy A. Glass
which for uniairness and absolute
misrepresentation I have seldom seen
surpassed; and Mr.. Wakefield him
self, commenting on this review,
gives his fanction to these misrepre-
sentations. I propose TO notice a
few Of them. MIR. Glass begins his
review Of the discussion by saying:
Isis a discussion primarily between one
who proposes TO cure economic evils By
still further restrictions upon individual
liberty, and another one who believes in
th0 largest development Of individuality
without infringement Of the equal rights
oe oil men TO bhO possession Of natural op-
pcRbunities.
He then quotes IN proof Of the first
part Of the above statement from an
article in che ADVOCATE Of November
Ia, upon the subject Of enforced idle.
mass and it's remedy, in which / sd-
voCated public control of the means
of production and distribution and
Che adoption of q system of public
improvements to give employment
10 existing idle labor as a means Of
immediate relief. There is not a
word in this article nor in the dis
Oussion with Mr.. Wakefield "propos-
ing TO cure economic evils by still
further restrictions upon individual
liberty" On the other hand, when
Mr.. Wakefield, in the discussion,
charged me with advocating this sys-
tenn Of restriction, I emphstically
disClaimed it. Everywhere, and at all
times, I have disRVoWed that school
oE socialism which proposes to con-
vert men into mere machines to be
manipulated by a great central di-
rsOtor Of all industrial pursuits.
Would the public ownership Of means
of production and distribution and
public ownership Of public utilities
in general result in greater restric-
tions upon human liberty than at
present exist? Mr.. Glass knows
very we'll that it would not. On the
other hand, it would result in the
emancipation of laboring men and
women from slavery to corporate
monopolies and in their endowment
with such liberty as they have never
before known. II would in no way
interfere with choice Of occupation,
or in any other way, with individual
liberty. Are the liberties Of em.
plOyes OF the postal service subject
% greater restrictions than the lib
critics OF other psopleI NonsenssI
Here is another Of these misrepre-
sntations:
