The Production of Gold.

Nothing in the political world of
late has been more amusing than
the formal refusal of some of the
free coinage officials to take any
part in the convention at Denver to
consider the present condition of
gold mining as an industry. Gov.
Jones, of Arkansas, declined to ap-
point any delegates to the conven-
ton from that state because silver
was not to be equally a subject for
discussion. On the same ground
Arkansas might refuse to recognize
a meeting of iron, copper, lead or
zinc men. The idea that the cause
of free silver in Colorado requires
special safeguard is at least novel.
That state, with the aid of woman
suffrage, gave Bryan 161, 153 votes
and Mckinley only 26, ,271, a margin
large enough for all practical pur-
poses. Gold mining is the sole
topic before the Colorado conven-
tion because it has become one of
the great industries of the state,
and presents enough questions of
Importance to absorb all the time
of the delegates.
No doubt the increasing stream
of new gold pouring from the mines
of the world will be one Of the
points made prominent in the de-
bates. Colorado has its full share
of this enlarged production, its
gold yield last year reaching S14,
100000, or one fourth of the metal
mined in the United States. In
1896, according to a recent estimate

feldmdn's Loss.

Abner Feldman Il farmer of Victoria
Mo-, is mourning the loss of two bright
boys, aged and IL years two magniti-
cent horses. one elegant wagon, one
industrious hired boy. one beautiful
wife, and several pieces of handsome
furniture. They have ali been missing
from his home since July I'd. Mr..
Feldman thinks the outfit somewhere
within the limits of the city of St.
Louis. and he has requested the police
there to locate them.
The boy is good looking. has seen %
summers, stands ) feet inches in his
stocking feet. and has dark, piercing,
fascinating eyes. His optics were the
envy of Farmer Abner.
Mrs. Feldman is not SO young, but
she knows thing or two about the
elixir of life, and while 81 milestones
are behind her on her earthly journey,
she doesn't look day over 81. She is
a petite blond, and has marvelously
fine carriage.
Why all these persons and things
should take unto themselves the notion
to walk from the country to town is
not clearly set forth by the good hus-
band, father and owner.
He doesn't think there's anything
funny about the elopement, as it has
left him entirely without the comforts
of home. He's not worrying so much
about his ''sweetheart' and the other
fellow, but he would like to get back
those two bright boys, those two mag.
| nificent horses that one elegant wagon
and at least one cot from the furniture
to rest his weary head on.-De Soto

A POPOCRAT editor in Kentucky
stated that the sound money Dem
ocrats are ''beneath the notice of a
NANCY nigger." This statement is
on par with one made sometime
ago by aDemocrat of local rcnown,
that ''thc Republican party of
Washington County was composed
solely of ex convicts and niggers,
and that the respectable element of
the people was all in the Democrat
ic party" Both these statements
are equal in thcirrcpellant strength.

Washington Letter.

W ASH1NGTON, July ~, 1890.
Special correspondence.
The tariff bill having passed the
danger point in the Senate, where
the Republicans are without a
ma ority, there is good reason to be-
lieve that it will receive the sigma
ture of the President by the end of
another week.
THE TARIFF BILL SATISFACTORY.
That the tariff bill was especially
satisfactory to the people when it
left the House is beyond question,
and as it's discussion in the Senate
brought it nearer to the form in
which it was passed by the House
the responses from the country now
indicate that it is meeting with
proper approval.
WOOL AND SUGAR.
The sugar and wool schedules
will be the most important questions
before the conferees, though both
of these have been brought so near
ly in line with the House bill that
there will be little difficulty, proba-
bly,, in reaching an agreement.
Whether that agreement affects the
House or the Senate schedule or
strikes compromise between them,
the country will be satisfied, be-
cause of the fact that these features
of the Senate have been brought so
nearly in line with the House
schedules.
TRUSTS AND DEMOCRATS HARD HIT.
The most bitterly disappointed
men in Congress over this bill are
those who hoped to make capital
out of the cry Of trusts" and es-
| pecially y sugar trust. The bill, even
us it passed the Senate, destroys
this opportunity, and is accepted
by the people as an evidence that
however much the sugar trust may
have controlled the Democratic
party in framing the Wilson law,
it does not and cannot control the
Republican party in its Legislative
| duties.
STOCK SPECTATORS TO BE TAXED.
The provision in the tariff bill for
a stamp tax upon stocks and bonds
and upon speculations in stocks and
bonds is generally commended.
This amendment, which has been
adopted and made part of the
bill, places stamp tax upon all
bonds and stocks aside from those
Of building associations and other
organizations of this character, and
also places tax upon each trans
action in these bonds. This will
compel the stock spectators of the
great cities to contribute from
twelve to fifteen million dollars a
year to the support Of the govern
ment and will thus insure that the
new bill will meet running expenses
of the government after the enor-
nous supply of foreig On goods now
in hand shall have been absorbed.

are waking up and are taking an
interest in the improvement of pub

subscriptions to be expended on the
public roads, and in every case the
subscribers have selected one of
their number to handle the money

1t seems that the people are not
willing to turn their money over to
their road overseer, so that he can
hire his own team at s. per day

watching his own team work-not
to exceed eight hours per day.

S25 to S75 dollars turned over to

last Wednesday by a vote of 80 to

Emery, of Louisiana, voted for the
bill. A number of Democratic and
Populist senators lodged the issue
by pairing Or refusing to vote. The
bill is now before the conference

confidently expected that the time
taken for final agreement will be
limited. and that the bill will be a
law before the end of July.

Hear Mary Ellen Leases latest

issue of the past and will never

law and reduced to 10 cents per ton
under the Wilson law. Curiously
President Ratchford of the United
Mine Workers Association states
that the wages of miners have been
reduced about 35 cents per ton
since 1898. the very year in which
the free-trade Congress met and
began framing the Wilson act.
which reduced duties 30 cents per
ton. The moment the Wilson lew
passed, coal from the Novia Scotia
mines began invading the markets
on the Atlantic coast, especially
New England, and drove out of
those markets the West Virginia
coal, which had always found an
outlet at far prices. This West
Virginia coal was thus compelled
to seek a market in the west in
competition with the Goals Of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky. The
result was a sharp competition, a
fall in prices, a ruinous rate war,
not only between mine owners, but
also between the railroads, and as
a consequence a reduction in the
wages of miners. Thus the very
low wages of the coal miners Of the
country who are now striking for
an advance are directly and logical
ly traceable to the operations of the
Wilson law. The pending bill re
stores Mckinley rates on coal and
after it gets into operation will, it
is h, ped, result in improved con-
ditions and wages for miners as
well as others.
THE BOUNTY ON BEET SUGAR.
The Republicans were compelled
to abandon the beet-sugar bounty
proposition because of Democratic
opposition. The amendment pro-
posed to pay a bounty of a quarter
OF cent pound during a five
years period from the passage of
the bill. This, it was felt, would
insure the establishment of the
bect-sugar industry in the United
States. 1t is by this process that
European countries have not only
encouraged the production of beet
sugar, but actually established
system which supplied more than
half the sugar of the world by a
process a generation ago unknown.
But the Democrats opposed the
proposition, as they do everything
which emanates from the Rcpub-
licans, and gave notice that they
would delay the bill by a long and
indefinite discussion, making ii
probable that months would elapse
before Il vote could be had if the
bounty proposition were pressed by
the Republicans. The result was
that the Republicans were compcIl-
ed TO either abandon the proposition
temporarily or keep the country in
suspense with reference to the tariff
bill for months. They therefore
determined to withdraw their sugar
bounty amendment and offer it as
a separate measure in the hope of
getting Il vote upon it at the next
session.
WHY THE ANTITRUST AMENDMENT
WAS ABANDONED.
The antitrust amendment was
abandoned for similar reasons. The
Republicans would have gladly in
serted an amendment of this charac-
ter in the bill, but it became SO
apparent that it would be made the
vehicle for lengthy discussion and
further delay of the bill that it was
found necessary to make the anti
trust proposition an independent
measure rather than delay the tariff
for its discussion.

places will be made for Republican
patriots. We have always con-
tended that the rules as spread
over the departments by Mr.. Cleve-

MISS FOOTE'S STRANGE MARRIAGE.
Accomplished White Girl Prefers a
COlored HostIer TO All Others.

Galesburg, ILL.,, July 5.-Some re-
markable developments have come to
light regarding the marriage of John
Crawford, of this city, and Miss Mir
anda Foote, of Stronghurst. The bride
is a white woman and Crawford is
colored. Since early in the season
Crawford has been living with his un-
Gle at Stronghurst and was employed
at the driving park, caring for a num-
Der of trotters. Among these trotters
were two belonging to Mrs. Margaret
Foote.
On his trips to and from the Foote
farm Crawford, who is rather pre-
possessing and intelligent, formed the
acquaintance of the daughter, Miss
Miranda. She became infatuated with
him, despite the protest of her relations
who are well-to-do and prominent peo-
pc of that locality. On the night of the
elopment the young woman stole quiet
ly from the mansion, which had been
her home from childhood and went to
an agreed upon point, where she met
Crawford. and to which her wearing
apparel had been transported.
They drove to Monmouth, took the
train to Galesburg and were married
here. Their return to Stronghurst
created a great sensation. The bride
stood well in that community, is of
goo . presence, is skilled in fancy work,
and is good performer on the piano.
Her family is greatly chagrined.

Lehigh Valley Railroad May Put a
House Boat on the Susauehauua.

All the passenger officials of the Le-
high Valley railroad, states the To-
wanda Review, spent several days last
week at Glen Summit in conference.
One of the subjects discussed was a
novel way of taking advantage of the
bass fishing I'm the Susquehanna river,
from Towanda To Tunkhannock, a sec
tion which abounds in some of the
finest bass ever pulled from a stream.
1t is the intention to build house
boat, htted with kitchen and sleeping
accommodations, and let 1t float be-
tween the two points. making the trip
in three days. 1t is expected that this
method of taking in the beauties OF the
river will commend itself to sportsmen.
The subject Is to be placed before
President Wilbur and IL he approves of
1t, the boat will be placed in commits
sion about July Is.
