A YOUNG local popecrat ridicules tn,

A YOUNG local popecrat ridicules the
idea that the tariff could have any.
thing to do with the present hare
times. He says there is only a few
per cent. difference between the two
tariff laws. That's true, the only diff
terence is that between specific and
advalorem duties; between tariff fo1
protection, and tariff for revenue
(Which even fails to raise the needed
revenue by quarter billion dollars in
three years.) For instance, the i'm
ports to the U. S. for the years 1895
amounted to $2,253, 1866, 500. A raise
of one cent would mean to the govern
ment $22, 533,655.09. A trif1ing thing,
that cent.
THE congressional record OF the Pop
ocrat candidate for president is an
open book. We find, like Rogers the
candidate for governor of this state,
when he cast vote it was on the
unpatriotic side. The former cast his
vote against the teaching of the
English language in the school of New
Mexico and the latter against the fly
ing of the United States flag on our
public schools. Neither proposition
should any true citizen have any object
ion against.
If Mexico is SO prosperous as Jones
told us recently, why it necessary for
President Cleveland on February 18th
Of this very year, to ask Congress for
an appropriation to return destitute
American laborers back to this
country?
THE newspapers which occasionally
do little advertising for the state, will
agree that there is no extravaganza in
that department, the estate rate" is
considerably less than this paper does
other legal advertising and the bills
are figured closely.

A Business Matter.

Over all else the personal fitness OF
the candidate for Office on /, county
ticket should be taken into consider
alton. There is no political issue at
stake in the election of wreckmaster
and the same rule applies to every
man ON the Mason county, or other
county, ticket.
1t cannot be said, if an objection is
raised because of the inability of a
candidate to properly fill the office to
which he aspires, that he represents a
political principle. No man would
think of hiring shoemaker to build
him a house, or stone-mason to
expert books. Men who use the best
OF Judgment in ordinary affairs, or in
the management OF their own business
seem to think any kind of a man, it
matters not what his previous training
has been, or what his personal habits
are, will do for county auditor, clerk,
treasurer or sheriff, if only he can
maninulate delegates enough to secure
his nomination by his party.
Most of the candidates now before
the people, for election or rejection,
are known to the voters interes ted in
their candidacy, and the JOURNAL
would suggest the closest scrutiny of
them by the voter. If man has been
good, useful, competent, faithful
public servant, retain him as you
would personal employe or partner
In business. If he has been careless,
negligent, incompetent Or dishonest,
set the seal of your disapproval upon
him at the ballot-box. Among the
candidates who have not held office,
to your knowledge, prior to this time,
investigate until you are we'll satisfied
who is best qualified to fill the several
positions. If this is done there will
be general satisfaction with the result
and the best interest of the taxpayer
Will have been protect ted, which is an
important item in the election of
officers.-Ex.

from Canton, who enlisting as q pri-

nominees of the state convention are
Grand Army men-men who served
on the field of battle in defense of our
common country. You may scan the
confusion ticket from top to bottom

Two years ago the voters of this
county decided that the cold guard"
which had occupied and controlled the
county offices for years past, had had
enough, and an entirely new set of
officers were put in charge. The re-
suits have certainly justified their ac-
ton. On the score of economy the
tax payers should feel grateful to the
present officials, they are workers as
individuals, and have incurred no ex-
pense, beyond the requirements of ex-
listing laws, nor involved the county
IN legal troubles during their in
cumbency. The reports of their
financial and official transactions were
always promptly made their response
blllty unquestioned, and the manner
IN which their clerical work has been
performed Is excellent. Without flat
terlng the county's clerks, we feel sure
that the present force is far ahead of
any set this county has ever had. So
far IN this campaign, we hear no word
from any quarter against the conduct
OF their respective offices. The bust
ness OF their departments has been
made to conform to better and more
economical systems, and the tax paw
ers cannot afford to experiment with
new and uncertain men.

A GREAT many lumbermen of Min
nesota, Wisconsin and Michigan are
waiting the result of the election before
they contract for their winters cut of
logs. There is much more depending
on the election than was ever the case
before, and very much more than the
general run of politicians realize. 1t
is not question of giving a crowd of
politicians offices for the next four
years. 1t is matter of business or no
business, and that is why everyone
should be vitality interested in it. It
will mean bread and butter to MANY
more than are now aware of the fact.

Our Next Representative.

For years past the oystermen, who
operate one of the principal industries
of Mason county, have been hoping
for some legislation that would secure
to them their oyster lands, on which
many had spent years in cultivating.
Through the earnest efforts of Repre-
sentative Callow, in the last legisla-
ture, favorable legislation was secured.
All the oystermen were called together
several times and bill was finally
formulated that seemed to them to
cover all they wanted. This Rep.
Callow introduced and pushed it
through successfully, against consider
able opposition from those who did not
understand matters and thought the
oyster lands should belong to the state.
But the law, substantially as intro
duced, was finally passed, and the
oystermen of this county now have
the titles to their claims and are safe
from intruders. VIM. Callow should
have the credit for this. He was
familiar with the needs of the oyster
man and could and did enter heartily
into their efforts to secure titles. In
several other instances he did good
work in the last legislature, and he
was on the right side of every question
that might effect the interests of the
county or the state.
William Callow has lived in Mason
county for 25 years, he is known all
over it. For many years he has oper-
ated logging camps, large and small,
and employed many men yet we have
never heard word of complaint about
his treatment of his employees. Every
man who has ever worked for "Billy"
Callow has a good word for him and
few men of that long experience ever
get such credit from their employees.
He is property owner and a tax pay
er; he shares the county's burdens and
its adversities; he knows the needs of
the loggers The knows what the farm
ers require; he is honest, level headed,
and a worker as an individual. He
has had the experience of one term,
and he deserves, what the County's
best interests require, his reelection.

DREADFUL IS THE CRY THAT COMES FROM CRIPPLE CREEK. About All that Remained of the Great Mining Camp from the First Fire De-
 stroyed Yester-
 day.
DREADFUL

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, April 30.--- While the fire was raging here yes terday afternoon special trains were run from Victor and GilIett to bring in miners with sticks of dynamite ready to use wherever there was any chance for it. It was more common than water at n city fire and the lavish use was productive of many i fatalities.
 The Palace Hotel, containing 300 rooms, was one of the first places attacked with dynamite and from the result It would appear that no warning was given of the impend- ing explosion. As the walls tortered in response to the tremendous charges o. giant powder, the mir was filled with shTieks of dying men who had been caught in their rooms and dragged down in the wreck. Before the wreckers could offer any aid they were driven back by the flames that were following over the side of the hotel The dyna- miters fled to rave their own lives and the loss of life at the Palace Ia merely matter of conjecture.
 The Bimetallie Bank and the First National Bank burned as they were of paper. The first named bank. while it was the leading institution of the district, was without proper facilities for holding the $150, ,OO0 pr more deposits that were entrusted to it. Since the last fire the bank has had temporary quarters in the new burned district where there are no vault accommodations Tu add to the apprehensons ofthe stockholders and depositors the explosion of dynamite leaves nothing to be re- covered from the ruins
 Volunteers operating without guides or mason are credited with blowing up the buildings.
 After the explosion at the Palace Hotel the crowd that had followed the fire, paused for a moment and the people began to grow vehement in their denunciatlon of the dyna- miters and there were several warm encounters between disputants. While riot was impending the flames worked towards the crowds that blocked Bonnet avenue until the advantage gained by the destruc- tion of the hotel was lost by not re- moving the debris.

Conference four weeks hence It is conceded that the Conference will make some revolutionary changes in the discipline or organic law of the church. First in general interest is the question of admitting women as delegates, which has been so thoroughly reviewed by the daily press as to make the merits and de- merits of the controversy general ly familiar The pastoral term is another important matter to be dis posed of. A large element of the church favors modifying the timer ent system so as to lengthen the term of clergymen in one seat. The question of bringing together again the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, is also expected to occupy considerable time, and, though an actual e.union of the two branches is not looked for, it is expected that a closer fraternal feeling between them will result

GARLAND STREETT GAINED.
Handsomely Complimented by His Numerous Friends and Constituents at
 the Court House
 Last Night.

Yesterday afternoon a dodger was distributed on the streets requesting the friends and supporters of Mir. W. Garland Streett in the late primaries to assemble at the court house last evening, in response to which n large number of ladies and gentle men gathered in the circuit court room about s o'clock.
 Mir. Street. wns one of the success. ful candidates for the Legislature in the late primaries, and SD close was the contest and so enthusiastic were his friends and supporters that they made this an occasion to present him with a handsome gold-headed cane as a testimonial of their friend ship and esteem. The presentation speech was most happily made by Mir. H. k. c. Foster whose remarks were appropriate and timely and elicited round after round of ap- plause. Mir. Street. responded to the presentation address in feeling and happy manner, and expressed cordially his appreciation of the high token of regard from his friends. Gen. H. King White, Mir Street. $ law partner, was then called on by the audience for a few remarks, and he responded in his usual eloquent manner which brought forth much applause. In response to calls Judge w. D. Jones made a short address which was one of the pleasing addresses of the evening. The audience was not satisfied with speech-making, and Mr. II. k. .. Foster was again called for, and he made rousing Democratic speech which evoked storm after storm oi applause. He urged all Democrats to stand up for the ticket nominated in the late primaries and to present q solid and unbroken front to the Republicans should they offer oppo- sition in the September election.
 This concluded the speech making, and after # general manufacturing and a general jnbilation, the large audience adjourned and repaired to their respective homes.
