The wheelbarrow affords one of the
chief means of travel and transport in
China, especially in the northern part
of the empire and throughout the Great
Plain. The Chinese form is decided
improvement on the types used in
western countries, for it is so construct
ed that the load, which sometimes is
very great in bulk and weight, is car
ried over the wheel, and not between it
and the man who propels it. The price
for carrying an average load is about l
shilling and pence per mile, but var
les according to the load and the state
of the road to be Travelled over. The
wheelbarrow has seating accommodation
for four people, two on each side, and
the fare for four people is ~ pence
per mile. On the Great Plain wheel
barrows are occasionally seen with
sail set, when fair wind proves to be
a great help to the trundling of the
barrow over level way.

Tax on Bonds and Stocks.
stop it?

The United States has at last hit up
on magnificent method for raising
the revenue of the country, thanks to
the prolific brain of Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts. The proposed amend
ment to the tariff bill providing for a
tax on all bond and stock transactions
and for tax of fifty cents per one
hundred shares of the capital stock of
any company incorporated, should
meet with the hearty approval of all
the people. 1t will, in a measure take
the burden of taxation from the shoul
ders of the poorer class of people and
place it where it belongs-upon those
who have money enough to invest in
and speculate in bonds. The tax, how
ever, should include, real estate trans
fers and all other recorded transac-
tions. There would be no question
about the receipts of the government
meeting the expenditures then. The
United States are slowly learning les
son from old England. The latter's
methods of taxation are the finest,most
just and equitable in the world, and
are always sufficient for the needs of
the government. It is raised almost
wholly by internal taxation distributed
in such a manner that a just proper
ton falls upon the shoulders of the
rich man, while the taxes of poor
man are correspon dinghy light. 1t has
been found to be the only really sue
cessful method of taxation, and under
it England has fiourished and waxed
Until the United States
can shape its laws for raising revenue
upon somewhat the same lines as Eng
land has, the same dissatisfaction ap-
parent now, will continue indefinitely.

Let our Thanksgiving days be devoted
not to returning thanks to Almighty
God for blessings vouchsafed to us in
bountiful harvests, but in thanking the
holders or mortgages upon our homes
for not taking our homes as well
as our crops. If poor Lazarus
should happen to stray along street
lined with palaces upon Thanksgiving
and see Dives ride by in gorgeously
equipped carriage, let Lazarus take off
his worn old hat and shout. There was
a Rienza in Rome once, when Rome
was in the condition which this country
is rapidly approaching. The masses in
Rome we're not, however, as intelligent
as the masses in America are to-day.
Will we reach the condition Rome was
in at that time, or will the people come
to the front with their ballots and
stop it?

1t is really a hopeful outlook for sill
yer which is promised us by the reports
from the members of President Nc
Kinley's commissioners, sent to Europe
to further the interest of bimetallism.
Both President Andrews and Senator
Wolcott make cheerful statements re-
garding the growing sentiment in ia
vor of the greater use of silver in Eu-
rope, and assert that France will stand
by the United States in adopting any
measures leading to free coinage, and
that the sentiment in England in favor
of re-opening the Indian mint, is daily
growing stronger.

One Of the greatest difficulties VIII ich
has been largely instrumental in old
ing back development work in the min
ing business, is the high prices asked
for claims by prospectors or locators.
AS rule, when a man finds claim
that has fair showing, he Immediately
thinks he has the largest mine in the
neighborhood, and tries to make sale
either for large sum of cash, or good
big bond and lease, and which in most
cases prevents anyone taking hold of it
and consequently it lies perhaps for
several years without being worked at
all; whereas, if the owner or locator of
the claim would be decent, and willing
to give two or three years bond and
lease at fair price for the showing,
without any cash payment, he would
stand 100 chances to one of, in the end
selling his property. This would re-
suit to the advantage of both parties
and also to the camp, for the reason
that the party taking hold of it would
expend their money in actual work and
if proved that there is mineral in the
ground, he would make mine out of

Portland, Oregon, is not quite so far
out of the lines of travel and transpor-
tation reaching the mining districts of
the great Northwest as Mobile, Ala
bama, but for all practical purposes it
is entirely out of the ring compared
with Spokane or even Seattle and Ia
coma. Portland patronizes and sup
ports goldbug paper, nearly or quite
as mean as the New York Evening Post
or the Philadelphia Press, and the vote
of the city of Portland keeps the great
state of Oregon in the ranks with the
goldbugs. Yet, would you believe it?
Portland has organized a mining ex'
change Its organizers have sent out
a circular which they ask local papers
in the mining camps to publish, and
the leading feature of the circular is
request for specimens to be sent them
for exhibition, express charges paid, of
course. We hope the papers will all
just drop that circular in their
waste baskets. If any mining man will
show us one instance where he ever de-
rived particle of benefit from one of
those little wayside mining exchanges,
we will present him with chrome.

H. c. Anchor, who is developing a
property on Rapid River, Seven Devils,
for himself and other DeLamar parties,
has cut three foot ledge and has a
fine prospect of good mine but is
having a rough time with species of
animal known as the claim jumper.
1t appears that James Healey has a
claim; the end line of which joins di-
agonally on the side line of Anchors
claim. A fellow named Potter located
over both Healey and Anchor, in the
name of Guffy & Potter, and then OF
dered Anchor off his claim Anchor
refusing to go, the next day, the fellow
took a shot at him, the ball striking a
tree few feet over Anchors head. MIR.
Jumper was arrested but got OFF for
want of positive proof that he was the
man who fired the shot. The miners
in that vicinity were so morally certain
of his guilt that the fellow found that
district too hot for him and he has left.

HE WAS A GOLDBUG.
And Yet He Had Never Seen Five Dollar
Cole Piece.

Cole Piece.
| Winnemucca silver State,
Thomas Shone of the Busch hotel
had an amusing experience with a fair
sample af an eastern goldbug yesterday
morning. Several passengers of one of
the Christian Endeavor trains took
breakfast at the hotel, among them be-
ing one with the appearance and man
ners of down town eastern business
man. At the table this individual aired
his views on political questions, and
was especially loud in his denunciation
of the silver lunatics. He illustrated
his argument to his fellow passengers
in the following manner:
"Supposing," said Mr.. Goldbug, 1--WE
had free silver and should tender the
proprietor of this hotel five dollar
gold piece to pay for this breakfast for
myself and wife. He would give me
four dollars in change in silver. Now,
mind you, these dollars would be worth
only fifty cents each or two dollars in
all. Therefore would be paying three
dollars for the meal. Wouldn't it be a
case of legalized robbery"
Outrageous! Shameful" echoed sew
eral of his listeners. and the talk went
on in a similar strain until the meal
was over. Mr.. Goldbug then hustled
up to the counter with an important
air and threw a ten dollar bill down.
Mr. Shone handed him back five dol
lar gold piece and four silver dollars
as change. Mr.. Goldbug looked at the |
coins moment, an expression of right |
eous indignation overspread his face
and he loudly demanded:
-Four dollars and ninety nine cents
more, please"
81 gave you the correct change-nine |
dollars" said Mr.. Shone.
@No, sir" shouted Mr.. Goldbug, "You
have given me only four silver dollars
and miserable penny, and 1 demand
four dollars, ninety nine cents more"
Mr.. Shone at once saw the mistake
the excited Hannaite had made and
quietly informed him that the supposed
copper cent was five dollar gold piece
of Uncle Sans coinage. The other
crowded around to get a
glimpse of the coin, which, after some
was finally accepted by Mr..
He had learned one thing,
at least, by his western trip.

movement for two reasons. One 10 be-
cause both political parties had Endorsed
it in their county platforms and he con-
sidered the DEM mocratic party sincere in
its expressions on the subject, and the
other reason was that, viewed from an
economical standpoint, it would be o
good thing for Bernalillo county tax
