Another Gold Country.

A new Eldorado has been found IN
the state of Washington, near Mt. Baker.
A special correspondent of the Evening
Times of SeG.:le sends word from sum
mas as follows
The gold discoveries in the noun
taias of w atcom county are beyond
anv doubt the richest in the annals OF
the Pacific coast or even in Alaska, Sc
sav the most experienced prospectors
whom | have accompanied to the scene
of the recent fields.
The recent find is in Bald mountain,
situated in the northeast portion OF
Watcom county, northeast OF Mount
Baker. The mineral range runs north.
west and southeast, and to-day Is located
for 30 miles There is no telling how
much further it extends.
THE vein is in five claims-LOne
Jack, Bennie, Sidney, Lulu and Whist
varies from three to five feet IN
thickness. 1t runs under a layer OF
porphyry ledge in a serpentine manner,
and auriferous shale appears in the
ledge. 1t is free milling quartz of sugar
and rose color, carrying copper and
silver. The vein can be traced halt a
mile. The cropping is under solid
por2hyry. ,o,-r .. .u,;re cold
and can be seen with the naked eye and
picked out with the fingers. That
great quantities of it exist there
is no doubt The formation of the
range in which the find is located does
not look to be very rich in minerals
If there is any placer mining 1t has not
as vet been demonstrated to be paying
proposition.

An Absurd Amendment To
The Ballot Law.

The people who drew and the Legisla-
ture that passed the amendment to the
ballot law whereby candidate is pre-
vented from being placed on the ballot
in more than one column were evidently
blind. A more absurd proposition was
never before advanced. Under the law
the judges nominated by the Republi-
can party in Philadelphia were lucky
in having their certificates of nomina-
tion filed first in the State Depar tment.
for If the Democrats, who have since
nominated the same candidates for
judges, had taken precedence in the mat
ter OF filing the certificates of nomina-
tion, the names could not have been al
lowed to again go on the ticket under
the Republican head. Take another
view of it. Suppose the Prohibition
party had nominated the same candida
tes for judges and had had the good for
tune TO file the certificate Of nomination
first in the State Department-un the
crank law as it now exists the Republi-
can and Democratic parties would be
barred from placing the names of those
candidates under either the Republican
or Democratic heads because the Prohi-
bitionists had filed their certificate first.
II this law had obtained last year mi
nority party might have nominated
William Mckinley for President and
barred any other party from placing his
name on the ticket in this State, provid-
ed the nomination papers of the minor
ity par5y were filed first See how ut
terly ridiculous such an amendment is.
We question very much whether it is
constitutional, but the court will settle
that matter in very few days. Har-

Erie railroad will be opened October 4,
a week from next Monday, when an ore
train will be sent over the line from
Butler to the Carnegie furnaces at Bes-

about putting the line in operation; it
simply will be put to the use for which

ent possible. Five hundred feet of
track was laid in the big tunnel at
Unity yesterday, and the balance of the
work is progressing so rapidly that 1t
was possible to determine definitely the
date of the opening of the road.

For sometime past the women of the
anthracite-coal region have entered
actively into the task of forcing the
workers out of the mines. A mob of
two hundred of them visi ted a mine a
few days ago and compelled a large
number of the men TO quit work and
join the strikers. A mob in petticoats
is undoubtedly the most embarrassing
one to meet, for it can only be com
batted in passive way. A riotous mob
of men can be actively attacked and
dispersed, but mob of women can
only be resisted. At any rate, this is
the way most men are inclined to look
at the matter, and it is this feeling that
rendered the action of the striking
miners women in Lu Zerne county of
serious importance,

Some CogitatiOns.

If all we have heard of the prohigacy,
general cussedness and pitiful incompe
tency of our legislatures is true, we
must conclude that representative
government, as at present constituted,
is a failure. Certain it is that many
men are sent to legislative assemblies
TO make laws who are totally and abso-
lutely unfit They not only take
no interest in the work, but seem to be
utterly lacking in judgment The
great problem is, how are we to I'M
prove the caliber of our representatives
In many cases they are in no sense rep
resentatiyes. The members selected
are often below the average intelll-
gence and morality of the community
they represent. The remedy may be IN
higher salaries, which will induce the
most talented to seek the office, or IN
no salary at all, which will prevent
those who have no talents or fitness
from seeking the Office Members OF
the English Parliament receive no sal
aries and they seem TO think IL Is better
so. One of the most responsible as
well as respectable officers we have Is
that of school director As rule the
best men in the community are willing
to accept that Office, and, generally
speaking, they are men above the reach
corrupt influences, such as school book
agents sometimes resort to. The trOub-
lie about a non-salaried legislative Of
fee would be that only wealthy man
could afford TO accept it and stand the
expenses, and it might be that unscru-
pulous poor men would accept 1t and
permit some corporation or trust or
other interest to paw his expenses. To
increase the salaries, too would have
its Objectionable features. Corrupt
men would then spend more money to
secure their election, and legislation
would cost more without improving
the quality. 1t is hard problem, and
resolves itself back to the old solution
the elevation of the general standard
of intelligence and morality of the peo-
.-Punxsuta wney Spirit.

Skimmilk, pure, fresh, sweet and al
together clean, is healthful and pleas
ant drink. 1t should be honestly sold
as such by milkmen at whatever rate
will pay moderate profit. The cheat
and the dishonesty consist in selling
skimmilk for something else. A trade
i'll honest skimmilk might be worked
up in almost any town.
The time has come when everything
connected with the milk, cheese and
butter business must be brought to an
exact scientific system Take cream
selling. There are different grades of
cream wanted. For ice cream making
and some other purposes the pure,
heavy article is needed. City people
who want cream to drink like it rather
thin. Then to season fruits and desserts
and to put in coffee it is wanted medi-
um thick, It so thick as for ice cream
or so thin that used to drink. A lit
tie milk is mixed i'll to make the thin.
Persons engaged III cream selling must
come together and establish standard
for the exact amount of richness want
The standard il to be fixed by the
amount Of pure butter fat in the cream,
but let that amount be fixed and let all
dealers abi6e by it.
Commercially there are three grades of
cream, thick, medium and thin, graded
according to the amount of pure butter
fat III each. The price varies according
TO the quality Of cream.
The people of Great Britain are great
butter eaters. They like theirs mildly
salted and not high colorcG If the
creamery men of the United states do
not secure their share of this fine butter
market, they will be wickedly negli-
gent, that's all.
Lack Of cleanliness is the cause of
seven-eighths of all the bad butter
milk and cheese upon the market.
Selling cream at 90 cents a gallon
pays well enough, considering that you
have the skimmilk left

Boys and Matches.

The village of Bainbridge, Ohio, had a
$50, 000 fire last Thursday and two citi-
zens were killed and several injured by
an explosion, all caused by boys with
matches. An entire square, containing
most of the prominent business houses,
several handsome residences and the
Methodist church, was entirely destroy
ed.
The fire was started in a barn in the
rear Of Perrill Browns general store by
two little boys, who were playing with
matches The flames spread rapidly
and communicated with the main build
ings. w. p. Beardsleys drug store
ajoining, was next ablaze With the
limited means at hand for fighting fire
the flames passed all bounds and became
uncomfortable
