a Salt Syndicate Bonds a Mine Near
Orchard.
e. r. Field has returned from Idaho
where he secured a bond on the Sun
shine mine for a Salt Lake syndicate.
The Sunshine mine is located in Neal
Mining district. twenty-five miles east
of Boise City and seventeen miles north
of Orchard, the new but growing town
on the Union Pacific road
The consideration of the bond above
mentioned is for $4,000, and the life Of
the option is ninety days.
On the Sunshine mine an ore body
twenty-six inches wide has been cut
in the face of a hundred foot tunnel
that assays $4S in gold and &c ounces
in silver to the ton, while lower down
a 20-foot ledge has been uncovered that
averages $40. There are three parallel
Lodges on the Sunshine, and it is pro-
posed to start a tunnel lower down
which will be run 400 feet, the inten-
ton being to cross-cut all three veins.
When this is accomplished a mill will
probably be erected to treat the ore,
and it is more than likely that the
company will use the Gervass- Brown
process of reduction.
The Sunshine adjoins the noted
Homestake mine, the property of
Charles Balback, of Omaha, which is
now shipping SIS and $40 gold ore to
this city.
The Neal district is now claiming
considerable attention from mining
men. The snow is little deep there
at present, but in the spring there will
be considerable activity there. Con-

SAVING CORN HUsKs.

Corn husks have some value as
feed, but it is generally less than the
stalks. After they dry out, which they
soon do, they are very nearly tasteless.
But they have value for other pur-
poses which makes them we'll worth
saving. They are better than straw
for filling mattresses, and when braided
they make excellent mats to spread in
front Of the doors. In some localities
there is sale for corn husks stripped
from the stalk if kept free from dirt.
There would be much wider sale for
them if made up in mats or mattresses.
On the farm these mats have another
use, as they are excellent to spread
over hotbeds on cold nights when
frost is expected, and can also be used
to cover windows in henhouses during
cold nights in the winter.

Needed Bicycle Legislation.

The ordinance governing the use ol
bicycles in the city of Buffalo reads as
follows: mo person shall ride any BIZ
cycle or tricycle. in any street. lane or
alley of the city at a faster pace than at
the rate of 10 miles an hour, and by
proper and sufficient warning upon ap-
preaching pedestrian upon street
crossing or other portion of the road
way, so as to enable such pedestrian TO
avoid collision. And any such person
who shall fail or neglect to give such
warning and who shall by reason OF
such neglect or failure, collide with any
pedestrian, shall forfeit and pay a
penalty of not less than five, nor more
than % dollars for each of every Of
fense. And any person who shall wit"
ness such collision shall nave the power
and authority to Immediately appre-
hend and arrest the offender, without
warrant, and convey him to the nearest
police station"
Objection has been raised to the fix
ing of specified maximum speed limit
on the ground that it is not feasible for
the wheelman to know when he is riding
more rapidly than, say, 10 miles an
hour. Neither can the authorities with
certainty determine this point. There
fore In most cities. notably in Philadel-
phia, the law has been wOrded So as to
read that no person shall ride SO fast as
to lose control of his vehicle. We are
not sure that the present ordinance in
this city should not be amended So as
to make it illegal for riders to lose CON
troll of their machines. Such an amend
ment, followed by a vigorous enforce
ment against all violators, would soon
set the bicycle evil to rights.
In Buffalo there is another ordinance
which ought to be copied in Scranton.
1t provides that mo person shall place
or cause to be placed in on upon the
surface of any street alley. highway or
road any glass, metal. stone. earthen-
ware or other substance of a nature
likely to cause injury to pedestrians,
animals. carriages, bicycles or other
vehicles" Every person violating this
ordinance Is subject TO fine of not less
than $1,000 or more than $4,000

About Those Bishops

In relation to the sentimental stir
which has been occasioned by the retire
ment by the Cleveland Methodist gem
eral conference of Bishops Bowman
and Foster. Rev. Dr. Webster of
Rochester. n. Y, offers the following
ado has risen from a thorough misun
derstanding of the case, which was
facilitated by distorted reports and
blazing headlines in the daily press.
one paper cries out Two Useless
Bishops. Kicked Out Amid Consider
able Excitement. A Brutal Report
etc. What are the facts? Simply
these. Paragraph 2.1 of the Book Of
Discipline says: The general confer
ence shall determine which of the bish
ops are non reflective In the per-
formance of this duty the committee on
episcopacy found. upon careful inquiry,
that the two bishops referred to, on ac-
count of age and inGrmity. W ere unable
longer to endure the prctractei Strain,
constant travel imposed by the o,lic, of
bishop In a committee of 100 mor,-
bers only five disagreed with the re-
port. Another important fact is that
precisely the same action was taken
in 1872 with reference to Bishop
Thomas A. Morris, and in 1880 with re-
ference to Bishop Levi Scott. and in
idcntically the same language.
"Of course, 1t is said that men should
grow old and it is not surprising that u
wave of sentiment should go over the
church when two such emirent and be-
loved servants as these are retired But
judges are retired at Fixed ages and
army officers. At every annual confer
ence men every way as worthy If not

salary such as these bishops will re-
ceve--for they were specially COM
mended to the book committee which
fixes the salaries of the bishops-but

by the hand of reluctant charity"
AS we said yesterday, we cannot dis
pute the propriety of retiring theEe ven-
| cradle men. But there does seem to
be lack of propriety in not permitting
the request for retirement to come from
them instead of from the conference
We might as we'll have the frankness to
admit that they We're roughly showed
aside; the secular press in taking this
view of it took the only view which it
could take without distorting the facts.

Leisenring Steps Out.

On account of important personal in
terests that require his attention, Con-
gresham Leisenring, over his own sig
nature, announces that he will not be
candidate for denomination. From a
strategic point of view this action is
undoubtedly wise. Assuming that Mr..
Leisenring expects to return to politics
after he shall have succeeded in putting
his business affairs into a suitable con-
dition, he can unqucstionably save
himself much annoyance by having
some one else wrestle with the patron
age question in the next congress.
Patronage has killed more political
careers than any other single cause. 1t
is especially dangerous in LuZerne
county, where almost every other voter
is a real or prospective office-seeker. 1t
laid out Osborne; it foored Lynch and
it annihilated Hines. Even before their
time, when the two counties were to-

it would be step toward suicide for
Mr. Leisenring. If he has ambitions

nomination this year and bring down
about his ears the veritable hornets
nest that would begin to buzz the mo-
ment that it came time to apportion the
Dlums.
OF course, the dangers of patronage
disti ibution will not prevent lively
scramble for the congressional success
sion. OF the serious candidates. We
look to see early developments in the
interests Of Morgan b. Williams, Gaius
lialsey and Alvan Markle. Halsey
represents Mr.. Leisenrngs natural per-
sonal preference, although he will pro-
badly keep hands off the actual strug-
gle; MaIkle typiiies the anxiety of the
new county element to retain the con-
gresham within the bounds of friendly
territory; and Williams personites the
ambition of Wilkes Barre to prolong
its political sovereignty in county af-
fairs. Either would make an excellent
candidate; but it looks to Il spectator
