MINING STOCKS oEPRsclATE.

Enormous.


Enormous.
LANSING, Aug 2l.-Thomas B. Dunstan
and Prosecuting Attorney Streator OF
Houghton county appeared before the
state board of federation Wednesday and
asked that the valuation of Houghton
county be reduced nearly one half on ac-
count of the depreciation OF mining
stocks and the destruction of the timber
of the county. The county was consider
ed in 1891 the richest In the state, and Its
valuation was fixed at $40, 100000. 1t was
stated that the loss to the county from
the depreciation Of mining stocks alone
would amount TO over 81. 100000. The
startling statement was made that the
Calumet and Hecla copper mine would be
exhausted in ten years. Keweenaw and
other mining counties are also claimed to
be In sorry plight on account of the
slump In mining stocks

Georgia is placed in the doubtful
column, because, until the fight which
is now in progress there, and which
involves the senatorship as we'll as the
choice of a delegation to Chicago, is
settled, the issue is uncertain. The
state is now claimed by both the silver
and gold men. Kentucky is also, for
the sake of a conservative estimate, put
in the doubtful list, although the
probabilities are that a majority of the
delegation will be silver men. Virginia,
also, Is uncertain. Its two senators
are divided upon the silver question,
and the Cleveland forces have great
hopes of capturing the convention,
although Senator Daniel, who is a
candidate for reelection, will be a
tower of strength to the silver side of
the fight. The fourth state in the
doubtful list, Washington, might be
for silver but for the fact that Hugh
Wallace, the National committeeman,
has called what is SAID to be snap
convention, to meet In three weeks,
and to be composed as far as possible
of federal appointees.
1t is to be remembered, however,
that out of the eighty-four votes which
are thus summed up as doubtful the
sound money men will have to capture
all of them to be In anything like a
position of vantage, and the chances
are almost entirely on the other side.

"Resigner" MaffItt.

Mr.. G. G.. Maf1itt, of st. Louis, is
playing an engagement that will not
bring forth the slightest applause even
from those who agree with him on the
money question, says Col. Jno. Knott
in his Hannibal journal.
1t will be remembered that after the
democrats, in convention assembled at
Pertle Springs, enlarged the state COM
mittee, he became very much offended
and threatened to resign the chairman
ship of the committee. He was petted
INTO remaining at the head of the organ
izatIon at least for a time.
But at Sedalia his sensitive toes were
tramped on again by the convention
refusing to ignore the instructions of
the people.
Mr.. Mafiitt knew before he left St.
Louis for Sedalia that more than four
hundred delegates to the convention
had received instructions from their
people to vote for no man as a delegate
to the national convention who was not
known to be for the free, unlimited and
independent coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l.
Mr.. Maffitt knew that the convention
could not honorably ignore these
instructions, and yet he insisted upon
being presented as candidate for a
delegateship.
The convention did not turn Mr..
Maffitt down. The people passed on
his case in the county conventions, and
knowing this he did not act the part of
big, broadgauged leader when he
forced himself before the convention.
He Is now angry because the will of
the people was carried out, and has
placed his resignation as chairman in
the hands of the secretary of the state
committee. He is initiating spoiled
child.
There should be no delay in accept
ing the resignation.

The Issue UnesclnahIe.

From the st. Joseph Gazette.
The goldbug organs no longer pre-
tend 10 believe that mugwum ps, pie
eaters, apostates and uondescripts will
control the democratic national cor
ventIon. They are about ready TO
admit that the effort of the gold trust
to control the national conventions Of
both parties has failed, and that
instead of q sham battle this years
presidential election is to be a fight to
a finish between the gold standard and
bimetallIsm. The Philadelphia Times,
an orthodox gold standard organ,
sizes up the situation as follows:
1t may be regarded as settled that
the republican national convention will
not declare in favor of the free coinage
of silver. 1t may also be accepted that
its platform will declare with more or
less clearness in favor of sound money,
although it may speak with some
ambiguity on the subject. A square
declaration in favor of honest money
on the accepted standard of the
civilized world, is possible but not
certain. 1t is improbable that any
man will be nominated as the repub-
lican candidate for president who
would not, when elected, maintain
sound financial system.
A very accurate statement of the
situation. The republican platform
will "speak with some ambiguity on
the subject, "but its platform will mean
adherence to the gold standard, and
the candidate will be goldbug. That
this is precisely what will be done at
st. Louis there is not the shadow of a
doubt. Continuing the Times fore
casts the action of the national demo-
cratic convention as follows:
What will the democrats do? If the
conventions of the two great parties of
the county were to declare unequivo-
cally in favor of sound money the issue
would be settled, and it would not
affect the result of the election, but
there is less prospect today of the dem
ocrats maintaining their integrity than
there was six months ago. The
apparent failure of the sound money
men at the recent primaries to hold
Alabama, whose convention will be the
first to give expression on the subject
in the south, indicates tidal wave for
free silver in the democratic conven-
tions OF that region. The democratic
national convention will be composed
of go delegates, and the following
states are all that can be safely counted
upon today TO stand firmly for a sound
money platform:

FREE SILVER BOOKED TO WIN.
A Surprise for ThOse Who Thought
the "SOund Money" Element
Would Make u Better
Showing.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April l4.--From
source not friendly to free silver
comes the concession that that element
will control the National Democratic
Convention. 1t is figured that the
results in Oregon and Missouri have
surprised and discouraged the oppo-
nents of free silver. and the following
statement is made:
With the exception of few states it
is now possible to present something
of an idea of the alignment of the
various delegations at Chicago on the
financial question. Without counting
the territories there will be S94 dele
gates in the democratic convention,
and any person or any policy COM
manding $50 votes will be in control.
The various delegations, as near as
they can now be anticipated, will
stand about as follows:

Bland for President.

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Besides clearly defining the issue
upon which the great battle of 1896
must be fought, Missouri offers to the
democrats of other states a worthy
leader in the person of Richard Parks
Bland.
Mr.. Bland is already veteran in the
fight. He has experienced all the vicis-
itudes of political campaigning. He
has shared with his party the pangs OF
defeat as we'll as the rejoioings of VIC
tory. He has seen brilliant victory
turned to crushing defeat by the treach-
cry of honored leaders. He has seen
the cause for which he labored with
loyal singleness of purpose go down in
apparent wreck, and he has seen it
rise again through the slow awakening
of the people to a CONSCIOUSNESS OF
their wrongs.
Mr.. Bland has many of the elements
of leadership required at this grave
crisis. He is not spectacular man.
He has none of the "magnetism" that
is supposed to account for the popu-
larity of politicians of the Blaine type.
He is not a phrase-maker. He is a
plain, blunt, honest, sincere man. He
is rugged in appearance, brusque in
manner, sparing in speech. He is a
farmer and looks like a farmer. He is
a man of the people, man whom
the people can trust.
II nominated and elected he would
honestly obey the mandate of the peo-
pie who elected him. He weuld not
assume to be better than his party
He would not try TO "educate" ms
party into Wall street views. He would
not use the veto power to defeat the
peoples will.
In the White House, no threats could
alright and Establishments seduce him.
To New York bankers menacing him
with panic he wonld reply: "Bring
on your panic, and | will guarantee
that you will never bring on another" :"
Treasury would be closed to the Pier
pont Morgans.
To the democrats of other states the
democrats of Missouri say, Here is your
issue, and here is your leader upon
that issuei

Rams Horn Rlasts.

When you find yourself weak take
Christ for your strength.
There have been many religions, but
only one Christ.
God made the Christian home to
help tell man what heaven is.
The yoke of Christ is easy only on
the willing neck,
A policeman steps behind an optimist
when he puts on his blue coat.
If we were not capable of suffering,
we would have no need of love.
Christ was not obliged to die. He
willingly laid down his life for us.
Whenever God gives us a trial, it Is
that we may be the gamer by it.
Put your hand in Gods hand, and it
will not matter if your feet do slip,
No matter how much we get, we
only get to lose, unless we also get
Christ.
How much public praying there is
done to which no answer is expected.
The more a man loves God the less
it hurts him to be mistreated by men.
No greater thing can be done than to
love God and keep his commandments.
Whoever would learn how to talk
well must learn how to keep still.
About the poorest business Chris
tian can engage in is borrowing trouble.
If you are a Christian, it is your
privilege to cast all your care upon
Christ.
1t will hurt the Christian more to
live day without prayer than without
bread.
Some of the hungriest people in the
world are those that have the most
wealth.
It is not Gods will that any religious
meeting should ever be held withou
results
God will always hear US when we
pray, if we kneel down on his side of
the line.
God is being slandered in the home
where the children do not want 10 see
Sunday come.
While some men are preaching, the
devil knows it will be safe for him to
take n nap.
A cold church will soon begin TO
warm up when Gods fire is burning IN
the preachers heart.
What will it profit n man to be a
brother In-law to the church, if he is
stranger to Christ.

This leaves the following as doubtful

If the sound money men shall get an
equal vote with the cheap mony demo-
Gratis in the delegations of Illinois,
Indiana and Minnesota they will be
fortunate. Louisiana is quite likely to
be for free silver. Virginia and West
Virginia are fairly doubtful, and may
be solid either way, or have divided
delegations. 1t is quite uncertain as
to how the delegates from the District
of Columbia shall vote.
The chances appear to be in favor of
the domination of the free silver element
in the democratic n9tIonal convention.
1t will be noticed that the Times
assigns Kentucky and Wisconsin to the
goldbug column. We predict that
Kentucky will send divided delegation
to Chicago and, although the party
machinery in Wisconsin is in the hands
of Villas and the pie-eaters, a similar
result in that state would not be sur
prising But without discussing this
them as proof conclusive that at least
one of the leading organs of the gold
trust has given up hope. The others
will not be long in following this eX-
ample. OF the states classed rs ''doubt-
full by the Times, Illinois, Indiana,
Louisiana and Virginia will send solid
silver delegations. In the other doubt
ful states the delegations may be
divided. The gold bugs will not elect
over 400 delegates and may have less
than $50.
The goldbugs will be in command at
st. Louis. AT Chicago, the old fash
ioned democrats will have things their
own way.
The issue between the parties will be
sharply defined. 1t Is unacceptable.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as it ihdiscrimiuatsly called, is a
species of big game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not SO much because
of the difficulty Of killing the
animal, nor because OF It's actual
rarity. 1t is a stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t ia not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually, among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out of ten.
