ISuueub OF Il CONFEDERATION or the
adoption of a new Constitution in
1887 ? in the various acquisitions of
territory in the maintenance of the
Union IN 1S61-5? in the abolition
OF slavery? in reconstruction in
debasing silver in 1873 ? in treaties
with other nations in the coinage
OF gold ? If we act independently
in all these and many other re-
spects, why shall we await can in
ternatioual agreement" on the
mere matter of the free and atund
ant coinage of silver? This toady.
ing to English arlstocrats on finance
Is an open insult to every American
citizen.
The Republican leaders have
played fast and loose on the tenn
perance question ever since the or
ganization of the party, and assume
the same hypocritical attitude in
the st. Louis Platform, in their be-
lief OF every "wise and well directed
effort" 1t is mere sham. a piece
of demagoguery. Their "belief"
mas amounted to nothing in the
last thirtY.six years. The evil has
simply grown on our hands.
They "demand that every citizen
of the United States be allowed to
cast one free and unrestricted bal.
lot, and that it be counted and re-
turned as cast" Yet they fight
free and unrestricted coinage of
silver" A free ballot, but not
free coinage, farce Of a ballot and
the slavery of finance. Why didn't
these men secure free ballot dur
ing their long reign of thirty years,
and not whine about it now. 1t Is
all 5osh. 1t is simply an effort to
get into power again "by waving
the bloody shirt" They abandoned
the Freed men to their fate when
they had control of the government,
and knew when they passed that
bumcombe resolution that they
could do nothing in that direction,
if they had again control OF the
government. 1t was simply an op
peal to ignorance and prejudice and
sectional hate. Men who will thus
trifle are unworthy of confidence.
II these men are 90 hurt about
lynchings now, why didn't they
stop it during the thirty years Of
"matchless achievement ?" IL the
Repu bllcan leaders now have such
unalloyed sympathy for the Alas
kans, why did they not. when IN
power through long years, after the
purchase of that territory, fulfill
their pledges to Russia and those
cOnfding people? What has now
awakened the Republican con-
science ? The loss OF government
pap? ? What assurance have we
that they will care any more for the
Alaskans now than formerly? The
rank and file of the Republican
party are noble race of men, but
these gold standard leaders and
dupes, are a set Of yellow glittering
generalities, dupes and dupers, and
the leaders, with all their pride, are
for once even on their knees before
the mothers, wives and daughters
Of America to keep them into Office
again, they are so hungry and dry
Better keep "the rascals out"
They and Mr.. Cleveland can 90 up
Salt River together.

a wonderful showing for such a short
time and I consider that what has
been done is but a small portion of
what we may reasonably expect to see
accomplished within the next twelve
months. Attention is now being dir
ected TO the district, and as it presents
exceptionally good prospects and ia
cilities, there is no doubt in my mind
but ample capital will soon be enlist
ed to develop the mines on an extern
sive scale. In this connection / may
say that the Mines Contracts COM

Three Land Decisions.

Three decisions have been received
in the United States land office at Du-
luth. Peter Lemieux endeavored to
take the ne1 of section 21-l52-19 under
an Indian allotment, alleging that
James A. Quigg, who filed home
stead, had abandoned the land. The
Duluth officials found for Quigg and
the general land Office affirms this.
81. E. Schrubing. Jr.. VS.. Michael
and Patrick Meade has been decided
in favor OF Schrubing. The Meades
filed pre-emptions on the net OF set of
section 81 and nw4 of sw4 and e4 Of
sw4 Of section 35-63-14. Schrubing
fled a timber and stone application.
The Duluth officers ruled in his favor
and the general Office afirms this.
Hugh Mcdonald has been denied a
review in his case against Charles Nc
Kenzie, involving the set of sw4 and

Next Sunday the First.

The base ball season Of 1896 will
open in earnest next Sunday when the
Ely club accompanied by their ad-
mirers and friends go to Tower to
show the Tower aggregation the
principles Of a good ball game. The
Tower club have again secured the
services of Dooley, their last season s
pitcher. and in addition to the entire
new man kraemer, they will put up a
strong battery at any rate. Lynn
and Lynch of the Ely's will however
hold their own in Sundays game.
The Ely grounds will be improved
during the next few weeks. A fence
will be built surrounding the grounds
and the grand stand will be put in
shape. New uniforms have been
ordered and they are beauties.
The range league has arranged a
schedule Of games for the season as
follow.

from that village. In general way
the editor describes the different ele-
ments of society and gives some rea-
sons why they are necessarily separat-
ed in social way, and he concludes
with the following apt and truthful
picture of class that will be readily
recognized: 1.-THE imaginary or so
called Goldfish" aristocricy is another
element in society and is usually the
most troublesome and annoying, and
is artificial in its nature. We refer
to it as imaginary and artificial be-
cause it has no real or substantial ex-
istence anywhere. 1t is usually COM
posed of mere assumption. bombast
and gall, with nothing to commend it
TO honest thinking people who give it
little thought or attention. sort Of
fungus growth, as it were. This class
of people usually come to the smaller
towns from the larger places, and like
ali others are there to better their
conditions financially. But they seem
to entertain the idea that the older
residents have always been there and
have grown up among stumps and
trees, and it is a great sacrifice on the
part OF the new cOmmers to mingle
with them at all. This idea comes
intuitiyely, and is born Of inconsidera-
tion and nursed in ignorance and
egotism.'

Alaska Gold.

United States Marshall L. L. Will
liams. Of Sitka. Alaska, was in San
Francisco recently. In speaking
about the Alaskan mining excite
ment. he said: Il think it no exag-
geration to say that fully $500 miners
have flocked into Alaska this season.
This influx Of people, has materially
increased the white population. /
believe the latter has doubled during
the past two years. Favorable re-
ports are being made about the gold
country around Cooks Inlet and some
large finds Of the precious metal are
rumored.
THE Yukon country maintains its
high reputation for yields Of geld in
its placer mines. Last season fully
81, 600. 900 in gold dust was taken out.
There is every prospect OF much larger
returns for this season. As many as
500 miners wintered in the Yukon
district the past winter They tun-
nelied under the frozen surface Of the
ground and brought out tons OF rich
gravel. They are now engaged in
washing out"

to applicants for public land under
the timber and stone act. The case
decided was from the Duluth land
district. The applicants for lands
under this act who were unable to
make proof on the day originally set
will be allowed TO readvertise and
make proof in the absence of any ad-
verse claims. The ruling has hereto
fore prevailed that in such cases the
entries were held for cancellation

Agood sized crowd, taking in considera.
ton the weather conditions, went out TO
see the Mt. Sterling Kickers and the
Maysville Kurnels play game of ball
1t was very near 4 o clock when Umpire
ODonnell gave the word PLAY ballr'
The game opened with the Maysville
lads at the bat. Cox, the first batter up,
rolled an easy one to Houseman at short,
but he errored and Ben lived. Kellner
then went in and drove the horsehide
out to left field for a base, Cox taking
third. Curle sacrificed the two runners
up a bag. Zeigler worked Hiberger for
base. Shepherd singled over short, and
Cox and Kellner scored, Zeigler going to
third. Sutherland got to first on a
scratch, forcing Shepherd at second lei
gler scoring, HoneYman flied out to
left field
In the second Wadsworth went out
from third to first. Lautenbach stepped
up to the plate, and so did a little man
with a big bouquet of pretty flowers
Lautie acknowledged the bouquet with a
raise of his cap and a terrific line drive
over second base for one bag Cox went
out on fly, and Kelner from second to
first.
The first bat for the Kickers resulted in
a score, Thompson, who had been given
first on balls, and Poage singing over
short; while in the second Shanks hit TO
left center for two bases and scored on
Thompson's drive to right,
In the third is where the Kickers got in
their work on kicking and kicked clear
out of the lot Curle and Zeigler went
out in order, and Shepherd walked up
