why are Good mines for saIe4

This question is probably the
hardest one that mining brokers
have to contend with. Purchasers
of mining properties are very sus-
picious set, and invariably look
upon good property that is Offer
ed with dubious eyes, and about
the first question asked is: why
do you want to sell?" Generally
this question can be answered in
the following simple statement: In
q great many instances the owners
are men whose lives have been
spent in poverty and daily strug-
gle for existence. They know they
have fortune; they have had
enough of battle and strife. They
want to enjoy life. They have
dreamed of "good time," and they
want to realize their dreams. The
man, no matter whether young OF
old, who never before had a dollar,
who suddenly finds himself the
owner ofproperty worth many thou
sands, has an uncomfortable desire
to see his fortune in shining gold or
crisp bank notes. He wants to take
life easy. He wants to move out OF
a miners cabin into home pro-
vided with the luxuries of life, and
he don't want to wait. He has not
been wealthy long enough to want
more. He feels that he will never
want more, but what he has in the
way of property he wants to con
vert at once into cash. 1t may be
added that there are now many
prospectors climbing the mountain
sides, searching for the precious
metals, who have owned great mines
SOLD them and wasted the money
having a good time.-Mining In

There area go0d many ,Popplists
who have overlooked the resolutions
adopted by the free eoidage confer
Fence at Washington-7the body
which called the national conven-
tion of silver men to meet at ST..
bopis upon the same day that the
Pppplist. convention meets, to agree,
it, spossihle,. .uponaa presidential
ticket. There are many who labor
under the impression. that the BIZ
metallists declared only fer free
coinage, while the fact is they COW
cred nearly the entire money prop
osition of the Omaha platform.
These resolutions are as follows:
The paramount issue of this time
in the United States is indisputably
the money question. It is between
the gold standsrd, gold bonds and
bank currency on one side, and the
bimetallic standard, no bonds and
government currency on the other.
On this issue we declare our.
selves to be in favor of distinct
i've American financial system.
We are unalterably opposed to the
single gold standard, and demand
the immediate return to the con-
stitutional standard of gold and
silver, by the restoration of this
government. independently of any
foreign power, of the unrestricted
coinage of both gold and silver into
standard money at the ratio of Is
to /. and upon terms of exact
equality, as they existed prior to
1873, the silver coin to be a full le-
gal tender, equally with gold, for
all debts and dues, public and pri-
vate.
We hold that the power to con-
troll and regulate a par currency is
inseparable from the power to coin
money, and hence that all currency
intended to circulate as money
should be issued, and its volume
controlled, by the general govern
ment, and should be legal tender.
We are unalterably opposed to
the issue by the United States OF
interest bearing bonds in time of
peace, and we denounce as blum
der worse than u crime the present
treasury policy, concurred in by a
Republican House, of plunging the
country into debt by hundreds of
millions in the vain attempt to
maintain the gold standard by bor-
rowing gold; and we demand the
payment of all coin obligations of
the United States as provided by
existing laws, in either gold or sill
yer coin, at the option of the Gov
ernment, and not at the option of
the creditor.
1t will be seen that the declara-
tions cover about the entire ground: !:
Free coinage, no national bank
currency, paper, gold and silver,
all to be issued by the general gov
ernment, and no bonds under any
pretext in time of peace.
If the Populist convention should
adopt the substance of this declara.
ton as the chief, paramount issue
in the campaign, and both conven-
tions should agree on such a man
as Caldwell, Sibley or Tillman for
President, why should not Popu-
lists and bimetallist fight shoulder
to shoulder in the campaign like a
band of brothers, and, through the
union, win the grandest victory
gained by humanity in the coun-
try?-Nesos, Denver, Colo.

PedagOgue Carlisle.
At the late Manhattan Club ban
quet, goldbug Coudert introduced
Secretary Carlisle as "pedagogue,"
and explained that he was a "school-
master of the nation in sound fnan-
ce." It is to be hoped that this
pedagogue will not give the country
any more ''object lessons" It may
not be improper to suggest that the
next time this schoolmaster calls
up his class in. arithmetic, he ask
them to figure out just how many
millions Uncle Sam lost by the
administrations secret bond deal of
a few months ago.. Also he might
with great propriety ask his read
ing class to peruse q certain great
speech which he delivered in the
House of Representatives some
eighteen years ago in which he de-
clared that the conspiracy to de-
stroy silver as money metal would
ultimately entail more misery up
on the human race than all the
wars, pestilence, and famine that
ever occurred in the history of the
world" incidentally the school
master might tell the class what he
thinks of that speech now, and
whether or not his prophecy is be-
ing fulfilled. When he next calls
up his geography class, this peda-
gogue ought to explain to the far
mer boys why the wealth of the
country is SO rapidly concentrating
in the Eastern money centers, while
the farms of the West are SO thor
oughly plastered with mortgages;
also, why the producers of corn, cot
ton, wheat, and silver are in such
hard lines, while bankers and corr
pon-clippers are so prosperous.
When the class in history next re-
cites, this illustrious pedagogue
might explain why Jefferson and
Jackson entertained and advocated
such ridiculous notions concerning
metal money and national banks.
He might explain whether he
doesn't think our revolutionary
sires were great fools to want to be
free and independent, whether it
would not have been a great saving
of blood and treasure for this coun-
try to have remained tributary to
Great Britain, and whether it isn't
advisable. to abolish the United
States treasury and place the man
agement of our finances directly
and openly (instead of secretly in
the hands of the Rothchilds and
their agents. Finally, this school
master of the nation might select
for his next morning scripture les
c0v, snrao v%ocOo nfc r,ivinr tho hiofOrv
of a certain Biblical character who
hanged himself, and explain to the
school what Senator Tillman meant
by referring to the present Secretary
of the Treasury as Judas from
Kentucky" These are merely
random suggestions. If the peda-
gogue shows himself properly CRATE
full for these, we have more to offer.

Mr.. Hanna is expected to visit his Win
ter home Mt Thomasville, Ga, this week
and it is thought that Major Mckinley
will join him there in few weeks, when
they will put their heads together for the
selection of cabinet. Major Hanson,
of Macon, Ga, is mentioned for n place
in the Mckinley cabinet, although there
are many who believe that the claims of
Col. y. f.. Buck, of the same State, are
superior to those of the Macon man. In
the matter of work for the cause of Re-
publicansm, the members. of the "grand
old party in Georgia have less claims
for official recognition, perhaps, than
those Of any other State. Republicanism
as party has fer long years been II non

that State in the.cabnet, while ignoring
the claims of kentucky, Maryland, West
Virginia, Tennessee Missouri and North
Carolina, in this regard, would he treat

States very badly. to say the least.

, that Mr. Olncy's threat will lessen the

from the views of representatives on the
! subject that the notification of the Secrc.

whole, the Cuban situation is Incoming
decidedly complicated. The people of the

Ever since mis- second inauguration
President Cleveland has practically
ignored the wishes of Congress-, except
when they conceded FULLY with his own
views, and to such n degree has this dis
regard extended that he has alienatcd
from his administration at least four
ifths of his own party This, however,
does not appear to trouble him in the
least, and perhaps in the coming dispute
with the Senate and House about Cuban
independence he will carry himself with
the same imperial obstinacy which has
characterized all his official acts for the
past four years. The few friends that
he now has are more of them Republicans
than Democrats, and whatever moral
support has lately been given him has
come mostly from the former. In his
last message to Congress he occupied the
anomalous position of congratulatine
the country on the success Of the party
opposed to the one that elected him, and
all through his political career, except in
the matter of tariff reform his leanings
have been more with Republicanism than
Democracy. There are certain traits
about the man, however, which compel
our respect while there are others which
merit ONLY condemnation. His firmness
is well enough in some matters; but
when 1t degenerates into obstinacy it is
not so commendable; while his belief i'm
his own infallibility, though bordering on
the sublime, easily makes him an object
OF ridicule and censurc. Altogether, the
country is to be congratulated that the
days of Clevelandism are fast drawing to
close, even ut the expense of Repubi-
can success: for it must be admitted that
it is better 20 have Il Government Repub-
lcan in fact than one that is Democratic
only in name. The people will do the
hest they can under Mckinley, while
resting in confident assurance of the fact
that after four years OF trial free silver
doctrines will triumph and there will he
