Hotel Pays For Mining.

A rich placer discovery was made
on Front street a few days ago, un-
der the flooring Of the old Overland
building being torn dowu to make
room for Il ncW structure. : W1e
building was one of the old land
marks Of Fort Owen, being used at
one time as Wclls-Fargo express
office and having been occupied at
other times rs q general merchandise
and trading store, when gold dust
was the usual medium Of exchange.
Careless handling Of the dust seems
to have scattered quite lot Of it on
the floor, and il sifted5 through, the
cracks to the dirt below Several
loads Of the dirt have been hauled to
the river bank and Jos. Milligan is
panning it out with results that pay
a margin over day wages.-River

4 nc1nagogic Trick

Finding no other way to make
capital out of the tariff discussion
the democrats Of the house rcsortcd
to Il shabby trick sn order to fool
the people, as they*a!wavs have done,
they made q great play on trusts.
Before the final vote was taken on
the Dingley bill, Dockcrv, Of Missouri
offered a resolution that the bill be
referred back to the ways and means
committees with instructions to re-
port an amendment "putting on the
free list all articles manufactured,
produced OF controlled by any combi-
nation or organization Of corpora
tions formed in the United States
for the purpose Of limiting or con-
trolling the supply or price Of any
such articles, and with the further
provision that the rates Of duty now
prescribed by law shall be levied and
collected on any and all of SUCH ,arti-
cles, when, in the opinion of, the
secretary Of the treasury, such arti-
cles shall cease to be manufactured,
produced or controlled in the United
Statessby any such combination or
organizations"
This resolution could have been
offered for no other purpose than
buncomh. Mr.. Dockery doubtless
knew that it was unconstitutional as
we'll as he knew that the resolution
world be voted down. But it was Il
grand stand play to make it appear
that the republicans were voting for
trusts. The secretary OF the treas
ury is no. vested with the power to
determine and render an opinion as
to whether the law had been violated
uudcrt!le provisions of this resolu-
tion. 1t would be matter for the
courts to decide.
During the debate on this resolu-
:tlon the inconsistency Of this demo-
Gratis as regards trusts was shown up
to their apparent discontinue. The
only antitrust law on the statute
books was passed by a republican
congress and signed by President
Harrison and is known as the Shcr~
man law Under this law the
supreme court has recently de-
cidcd that railroads could not COM
binc to fix rates. When this bill was
before the house in the tifty-tirst
congress the democrats attempted to
defeat it by dilatory emotions and
other tactics. After cxhausting
their resources and knowing that the
bill would pass without their aid
they voted for it on it's final passage.
This law WAS carefully drawn SO as
to avoid all constitutional objections
and will meet all OF the requirements
it enforced. But If faulty what have
the democrats done to strengthen il
or supplant it with a better law?
They have had majority in both
houses since the law was enacted,
but they have offered nothing to take
its place nor has a democratic prcsi-
dent made any special effort to en-
force it.-Fcrgus Argus

Against Chinese Labor,

Honolulu, April 14.-Thc govern.
mcnt has issued a call for tenders for
new road that is unique in that it
discriminatcs in favor Of the Hawai-
ian, American and European laborcrs
as against Asiatic laborcrs. The con
ditions read: t'Ihe tenders are. based
upon the condition that at least 50
per cent Of the unsEillcd laborers
employed on this work are to consist
OF HaWaiians, Americans or Euro
peans." This is the first time that
Asiatic labor has been disseminated
against directly by the government
and the effect upon the laboring
classes will be watched with interest.

~ week ago. Mr.. II. c. ELL vas
second deputy commissioner ol .pcn.
sions: now he is a private citizen o
Marshall, Illinois. lie served in the
pension office twelve years, having
been appointed head of a division,
about the commencement u lrcsi
dent Clevcland's first term. He was
reduced in rank by President lIarri-
son, but retained in the employment
Of the bureau. When Cleveland came
into power again, Mr.. Bill was made
second deputy commissioner.
1t was at this time that he resolved
to make d "grand stand play" lie
was himself drawing q pension by
reason Of disability incurred in the
service, a circumstance greatly to his
credit. But a great, patriotic i'm
pulse seized and possessed him.
Should lac, while drawing a salary Of
81, 900, also draw pension which was
granted because of his incapacity to
earn livelihood? Perish the thought.
So he voluntarily caused his name to
be stricken from the rolls.
But SO noble an example might
lose its force if the knowledge of it
were kept to himself and the few
others who must necessarily know it
in the course Of their official duties.
Accordingly he causualy mentioned
it to a score or more of men who
happened to be reporters or CORES
pondcnts, and To- they proclaimed
his deed Of sclf-abnegation through
}sthe length and breadth .:ot the land
to the glory and honor Of Henry Clay
Bill. or course. that wasn't what hc
sought; he only wanted to show what
patriot would do under the circunl-
stances.
The now administration having
been installed, Mr., Bill had Il suspi.
cion that his official tenure might
not be greatly protractcd. Taxing
advantage OF the interval when Mr..
Murphy had retired from The com
missionership and Mr. Evans had not
actually assumed the performance OF
his duties, he drew up a set Of papers
by which he was not only restored to
the pension rolls, which was wholly
proper, but was also allowed to re-
ccivc arrears for the four years dur
ing which he had by his own act,
failed to draw his stipend.
These papers he took to Gen.
Dana, First Deputy Commissioner,
and procured his signature, where
upon he hastened to draw his back
pay, to the amount Of several hun
drcd dollars. When these facts
came to the knowledge of Commits
sioncr Evans, lie accepted Mr.. Bill's
resignation forthwith, without even
waiting for the appointment Of has
successor. So, Mr.. Bill returned to
Illinois, where it's said that he will
run for congress, and doubtless pose
as a martyr to the principles and
practices Of the democratic party
