DENVER's MINING EXPO.
Convention off MineralOgists and a
Lot of Interesting Exhibits.

DENVER, Col, May 30.-The CORE
spondence at headquarters Of the inter-
national gold mining convention to be
held in Denver July z, 8 and shows
that great interest has been awakened
throughout the entire United States,
particularly among practical mining
people and those interested in mining
enterprises. The delegations thus far
appointed from the states are composed
of representative men of business and
industries
Delegates named in New York city
represent mining and financial organi-
cations. Georgia makes inquiry con-
cerning space for an exhibit from her
gold fields. California delegates will
embrace many of the noted magnates
of the country, and that state has under
consideration an extensive exhibit of it's
mineral products, while inquiries and
applications for space are coming in
from many mining centers of the West.
It is now assured that the gathering
will be an aggregate representation of
the genius and wealth devoted to the
production Of the precious metals in
North America, while representatives
of the South American republics have
given assurance of their attendance.

LEvEEs BREAKING AGAIN.
Over Confidence Results in a Serious
Mishap.

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 3O-A
crevasse resulting from over-con-
fidence and relaxation of vigilance oc-
Cured at 6 o'clock this morning in the
levee at Conrads Point, four miles by
rail below Baton Rouge, on the east
side of the river. At O'Clock this
anprnig information was received at
Baton Rouge that the levee at Conrad's
sugar house was leaking badly
and That a creyasse was likely
to occur at any moment. There had
been feeling Of almost perfect secur-
ity throughout that section, and the
thought of a crevasse had not enter
ed into the calculations Of things
likely to take place. The officials of
the Pontchartrain levee district and
of the Illinois Central railroad are on
hand with a large force of men and
unlimited supplies of material and will
no doubt succeed in closing the break
before any serious damage is done to
the adjacent plantations.

The Head Camp at Dubuque VIII Be
Too Warm for Comfort.

DUBUQUE, To-, May 3o.-The city is
rapidly filling with delegates and visi-
tors to the convention of the head camp
of Modern Woodmen, which cenvenes
on Tuesday. The Fulton people are
here in force to fight the present Off
cials and the removal Of the head
quarters to Rock Island. There are
tWenty-eight counts in the indictment
directed against Head Consul North
colt and Clerk Hawes. These officials
deny every allegation of wrong doing
and say they will prove to the head
camp that the charges are wholly false
and malicious.
This matter will undoubtedly pre-
cipitate hot fight in the convention.
Candidates for head officers besides the
present incumbents are: For head con-
sui, W. A. Doron, Of Monticello; Dr..
Miller, of Illinois; for banker c. d.
Hayden, Of Dubuque; Frank R. Crock
er; for clerk, Emory Townsend, OF

AN UNsoUND REASON.

The advice of queens counsel to
pointed to the colonial bench, was:
Make your decisions, but never give
reasons for them. The state of Illinois,
by it's legislature, enacted an inherit
ance tax which some one resisted, al
leging it's unconstitutiona1ity as inter-
fering with the inherent right Of dis
position of ones property. The SUI
prerne court has sustained the act and
given its reasons for its judgment. It
fortifies the power Of the legislature
by the declaration that all right Of
making bequests and devises Is a leg
islative grant, without which no such
right can exist. This will strike the
lay mind as a most extraordinary prop
osition. It would be readily admitted
that, for the common convenience,
there should be some orderly procedure
in establishing the fact Of ante-mortem
disposition Of property, the formal exc
cution of wills so as to prevent dispute
and fraud, the due establishment of
the testament and it's preservation
among the records, and the state, as
the instrument Of organized society, is
clearly the proper source Of such reg
ulative measures
So all admit the propriety Of the COM
mon agent providing for the observ-
ance Of certain fomularies in the trans
fer of property, the execution and re-
cording Of deeds, the provision Of writ
ten contracts in place Of verbal agree
ments, because these relate to the
peace and good order Of society. But
back of all the forms, back Of all reg
ulations of these various actions, lies
the right of action itself, and it will
fall with a harsh sound on ears used to
talk Of human freedom to be told that
what men regard as one of their most
important rights, the disposition Of
their property when death Is coming
to remove them from it's control, Is not
at all right, but a gift from the state,
upon which the state may impose any
condition 1t please. II the right Of
Gift in anticipation Of death Is not a
natural right, then neither is the right

to be jammed through almost exactly
as it came from the committee, the
minority is doing good service In in
s1Stlng upon debate and a vote on
each paragraph and item, so that the
enormities of these schedules may be
brought to public knowledge before the
burdens that they carry fall upon the
public shoulders. Day by day, as the
work proceeds, the wondrous effrontery

paints itself in deeper colors. We have
touched. from time to time, upon the
principal villainies of this bill, such as
the taxes on wool and lumber, the linen
others: but the bill is vast aggrega-
ton Of steals, of which some of the
minor are as interesting as the maojr,
and behind all Of which there is mass
ed an army Of congressional jobbers,
who are as insensible as stocks and
stones to either argument or decency.
For example, not only did the senate
refuse to Withdraw the benefit of the
tariff duties from articles that are
manufactured by trusts, but, in a spe-
cific case, where it was pointed out
big duty was slapped on just the same.
1t was shown by a Democratic senator
that window glass, which ought to be
free of duty as speedily as may be, on
account of it's universal use, receives a
high rate Of protection; although the
window glass trust is an organization
Of common notoriety. This trust con-
trolls the whole country, divides the ter
ritory among it's members, fixes prices
and maintains an absolute monopoly.
Whatever benefits accrue, therefore,
from placing the enormous duty of IL
cents per pound on this glass goes into
the Golfers Of the trust. Yet the pre-
sentation Of these facts on the floor Of
the senate did not have the slightest
effect upon the men who have banded
together to put this thing through, and
whose success depends upon standing
together without a break for this vast
iniquity
AS far as the tariff Is concerned, the
Republican majority in both houses has
ceased to be a deliberative body, as
Mr.. Reed says, and is simply acting
under orders in forcing upon the coun-
try tariff bill against which no OBJ
lection, however well sustained, or how
ever deeply grounded in public need or
public policy, can avail. It is as well,
perhaps, for our Republican friends to
make the most Of it, for this is the last
tariff bill that they will ever pass They
are digging a pit so deep and so wide
that they cannot escape it. Not only
the matter of this bill, but the manner
in which it is forced upon the country,
regardless Of how severely it may bear
upon the people, or how richly it may
endow the trusts, make certain that
popular uprising which already waits
only the next election to find and i'm
prove it's glad opportunity.

BIG BURGLARY RECALLED.
Thieves Want $500 for Return Of
Stolen Bonds.

Thieves Want $4,000 for Return Of
Stolen Bonds.
NEW YORK, May 3O-Nineteen
years ago the country was startled by
the report Of the biggest bank burglary
known in the history Of the world. II
occurred Sunday, Oct. e. 1878. Tho
Manhattan Savings institution, of this
city, was robbed Of securities valued at
$2,747,700 and s11 900 in cash.
With the exception Of few bonds
offered for sale some time ago, none Of
the securities have been recovered 1t
was believed that they had been buried
or destroyed.
That the securities are still in ex-
iStence is known here. A short time
ago negotiations were opened between
men said to represent the burglars and
President Joseph Bird, Of the Manhat-
tan Savings institution, for their re-
turn.
The burglars have made a demand
for $50,000 and no questions to be asked,
with the understanding THAT the securi-
ties are to be handed over in good
shape and that Immediately upon thei'
delivery the money shah be paid IN
cash.
President Bird, who, at the time Of
the robbery, was paying teller Of tho
Manhattan Savings inStit Ation, said
today that s56000 had been asked for
the return of the bonds, and although
the bank officials would like to get
them back. he declared they would not
pay that amount. Continuing, Mr.
Bird said: MANY Of the securities ara
worthless today, I should say, since
the government came to our assistance
some time ago by an act of congress
authorizing the secretary Of the treas
ury to reissue duplicates in place Of
the stolen United States bonds.
There were a number of other bonds
issued by cities and corporations, how
ever. Some Of these are due soon, and
OF course we would like to have the
originals, as it would make it easier
for us to collect the moneys involved.
Il refer particularly to the Yonkers
City per cent coupon bonds. There
were S118,0O0 of Yonkers bonds stolen,
and out Of that amount we have re-
ceived $4,000, which leaves $40, 900 due"
Mr.. Bird stated that he believed
the offer to be made in good faith, and
that the case has been placed in the
hands of the banks counsel. Those who
participated in or were connected with
the robbery We're Jimmy Hope, Jonn
Hope, Patrick Shevelin, the watchman
of the bank; William Kelly, Peter En-
erson, alias Banjo Pete;;" John Nu-
gent, a policeman; Eddie Golding, alias
Eddie Goodie; John Tracy and John
ny Dobbs. OF these Jimmy and John
Hope are living in this city. The others
are all either dead or in prison.

would be required to maintain the per capita
circulation at s25, you say: 'tThe god pro-

by themselves therefore supplied practically
the whole addition to our currency assumed
to be necessary In this statement you
make no allowance whatever for the use Of
gold in the arts This is estimated at at

1t originally. The gold coinage Of the
