The boys who went out early in the
spring with the buoyant feeling that gold
was to be found almost anywhere in the
bills are beginning to return somewh hat
wiser, but none the richer. There ia
much wealth in the mountains, but it
has been the history, since history was
recorded, that many aspire and few sue
coed. Was this result reversed the basis
OF our monetary system would be so up
set that it would require an international
conference in which the Americans, the
Europeans, the Asiaties, the Africans and
Inc Islanders of the World would be
obliged TO figure in order to establish a
ne@ unit OF value. As it is an all-wise
providence sees that the precious metals
ara brought into commercial use at a
very satisfactory ratio-to all right mind
ell people -of sixteen to one. This has
been the average. yield OF mother earth
for many years back, and this would be
the relative market value OF silver and
gold were it not for the svarice of the
powerful Jew who speculate on the me-
eessities Of the many.

Late dispatches bring information of a
terrible earthquake in Japan, which.
with its attendant phenomena, wiped out
at least thirty Thousand lives. Beside
such an illustration OF the destructive
forces of nature our own records OF dis
aster are Insignificant. The Johnstown
flood and the st. Louis and neighboring
tornadoes are puny compared with it.
For parallels We must look TO the east
itself. Japan aud China furnish the
most numerous, although southern India
few years ago suffered from tidal wave
that was reported to be at least five times
as destructive Of human life. In modern
times, and in civilized countries, the most
formidable earthquake was that which
swallowed the city of Lisbon in few
seconds, with more than twice the loss
pf life.

Remember that Castoria does not con-
tain Morphine, Opium, or any other
narcotic substance, in any quantity, shape
or form. 1t Is entirely vegetable, pleas
ant to take, positively effective, and per-
fectly harmless. II is not secret remedy !;
the formula is printed on the wrapper.
Your hpysician will recommend it. Pare
goric, Bateman's Drops, and many so called
Soothing Syrups, are composed principal
ly of Opium or Morphine; in any quantity
they .stupefy, and in large quantities are
deadly poisons. Castoria assimulates
the food and regulates the bowels, cures
diarrh9a, allays feverishness and freet-
fulness, soothes the pain in teething, re-
lieves constipation and kills worms. 1t
brings refreshing and natural sleep to the
child, and gives rest to the mother.
"Castoria is so well adapted to infants
and children, that l recommend it as
superior to any other known remedy"
DR.. III. A. ARCHER,
Ill S. Oxford St., Brooklyn, N. Y.
March 8. 1887.
From personal knowledge and obser-
walton l can say that Castoris is an ex-
cellent medicine for children, acting as a
laxative and relieving the pent up bowels
and general system very much. Many
mothers have told me OF its excellent eff
feet upon their children"

FELLOW CITIZENS

We pause 10 the midst of conventions
and nominations and Publications to cele-
brate the Fourth Of July, as usual. On
this day there are no political divisions
no democrats-no republicans-no pops
with the exceptions of those made by
powder. There are no goldbugs nor sill
yerites-no freetraders nor protectionists
mo A. P. Al nor prescribed foreigners !;
but all Americans, and glad OF it.
1t is best this year to 90 into the ma
tional spirit of the thing with utter aban-
don and no personal side thoughts of
debt and credit. 1t is the day for the
class in history and not for arithmetic.
America is the land of the free and the
home of the brave. We are the free and
the brave, and We own America. Eng
land is hoggish grandpsrent, with no
legacy for MS but language and a dis
tsnt blood relationship. France still has
its princes and its peasantry. Germany
is overbearing and considers every citizen
as a soldier to be bossed and ordered
about at will. Spain is decayed mon
archy reduced to the sole occupation of
bullying Cuba. Asia is not worth con-
verting, while Africa is fit only for min
ing purposes. The United States OF
America are all right. They contain
everything within themselves and over
all float the star spangled banner to-day
just as iauntily as they did one hundred
and twenty years ago, and with much
added confidence after all these years.
There has been no internal difficulty that
has not been met and overcome; no
political mistakes that have not been cor
rected at home, and no hard times that
have not been followed by prosperity and
abundance. Even now there is an up
ward trend from the depression, and &C.
cording to the science of experience we
stand on the threshold OF q ten.year
stretch of prosperity.
Therefore let the eagle scream for the
one hundred and twentieth time and let
the orators turn loose their patriotic
ordinations with as small an admixture
OF politics as may be. Let that come
later, after one day Of national respite.

One of these days, and probably at no
distant date, the artesian district OF the
Mckee will be Illuminated by electricity
by means of the artesian wells. The
power generated is sufficient to run 6
small plant, and already in the artesian
districts of South Dakota the wells are
being utilized for this purpose. The cost
is mainly II . small incandescent light

not great and there is no reason why

There seems to be quarrel in lively
progress among republican leaders as to
who wrote the st. Louis gold plank.
Really it makes very little difference.

The Kansas prohibition law is practi-
cally dead letter. Liquor is sold in
many Of the cities openly. Instead of is-
suing licenses the authorities collect an
occasional fine. Public opinion is such
that when liquors are sold openly no con-
victions under the law can be secured by
the state attorney. Kansas was rash
enough some years ago to put prohi BIZ
ton clause in its state constitution
1t is the state constitution, therefore,
which is defied instead of mere
statute, which could be repealed when.

if he is nominated. He says: "McKin-
ley may have shown wisdom in selecting
Mark Hanna as his manager, but by so
doing he has gained the bitter opposition
OF organized labor in every state in the

so. He is worse man Carnegie"

Long shots.

The longest distance that IA shot has
been fired is few yards over 10 miles.
which was the range of Krupp's well
known monster" 1870 ton steel gun,
firing shot weighing 1900 pounds
The III tom Armstrong gun has IN eX.
treme range Of ii miles. firing a shot
weighing /, 800 pounds and requiring
900 pounds of powder. These guns,
however, proved too expensive, being
unable To stand firing 100 times, and
their manufacture has practically been
abandoned. The % ton Armstrong gun
hurls solid shot for distance of ~
miles, and the discharge of the gun can
not be heard at the place where the ball
strikes. From IL 60 - miles is the COM
puted range Of the plost powerful guns
now made, and 10 obtain that range an
elevation of nearly 10 degrees is found
to be necessary. Quick firing guns are
more depended upon at the present day
than extreme length of range, and in
this respect what is considered the most
wonderful Of guns perhaps, is one Of the
Maxims, which can fire us many rs 600
shots a minute and yet is SO light that
soldier can carry it strapped TO his
back. Financially regarded, the i'm
mense sum Of $l05. 900 was expended in
constructing the monster Krupp gun,
and each projectile cost 81, 100.

The Pioneer.

From the Pioneer mine comes news that
the vein in the north header of No. 3 tun-
mel has been opened TO the extent OF $50
feet. 1t is now over eight feet in width
and the ore runs from SO TO IS per ton,
averaging fully 81. This development is
on the 500-foot level Of the property and
experience in working mines upon the
Mother lode il TO effect that veins at that
depth are the poorest in regard TO yield
OF gold. This new vein, in the opinion OF
the engineer of Improperly, will be found
much richer above the 500-foot level and
also below it. Ii is the intention at once
to work this vein upwards. The Engi-
neering and Mining Journal OF May has
the following about the Pioneer from a
special correspondent in Placer county,
California: This mine. known as the
Pioneer and Lynn, located in the Towles
district, two miles west OF Damascus,
comprises eleven locations 500 by 600
feet each on several veins. The Boston
company, which now owns the property,
is extending the lower tunnel to tap the
ledge 500 feet below the present work
ing tunnel. A large air compressor,
hosting works and other machinery
await transportation from the railroad
as soon as the roads are passable."
Messrs. Cox, Bickford 4 Co., in their
monthly letter, say: The Mother lode
OF California is certainly the greatest of
all gold-bearing deposits in the world.
A veritable zone of gold quartz veins OF
great extent value, which if only ener-
getically developed by home capital will
result in time in thoroughly emancipat-
ing our financial condition from any con-
troll whatever from abroad, no matter
what may be the result OF the pending
conflict Of adverse interests for control
and possession Of other sources OF supply
