THE HARRISON TIMES, y
My DEAR SIR:-Replying to your
kind letter of May 25th last, would
say that the Philadelphia CONNER
cial Museum will be pleased to ac-
eept the collection of zinc ores offered
by Mr.. G. W. Chase, General Mana
ger of the Morning Star Mine, at
Rush, Arkansas: Will you kindly
inform Mr.. Chase of this decision
and request him to send with the
specimens as tull data as possible'
The specimens will be much more in
teresting if accompanied by data re-
lating to the approximate quantity
of each kind of ore produced, the per
centages of zinc, the total output OF
refined zinc per annum for several
years past, etc. Photographs of the
mines and of the refining works
would also be interesting.
Thanking you for the kind interest
you have taken in the matter, | am,
very truly yours,
W. p. WILSON,
Director.

No one denies that Mckinley is a
we'll intentioned man. But GER
tain place is paved with good inten-
tons. Mckinley has led the coun-
try far astray from the safe paths
laid down by the fathers and has
involved it in a bewildering Jungle of
Imperialism, militarism aDd colon
ialism. The return will be long and
difficult and it may be decades be-
fore we free ourselves from the vic
ious effects of the past two years.
But we can make beginning and
the time to do so is now.

..Neyer Mind The Rock. Follow the Ore. a

DR.. Branners incidental suggestion
to our miners Of never mind the
rock, follow the ore" is bearing
good fruit over the mineral belt.
1t was the kind of matter of fact
dictum which has given every sensi-
BILE miner and prospector confidence
in his own Judgment, independent of
any help expected by them from
experts"
What it means is not only to fol
low the ore that is in sight, but it
goes further. 1t is the sum of scien-
tifc observation. as far as it applies
to properties NOT yet appropriated
by those engaged in mining as bus
ness, or as producers.
For instance, it carries the recon-
mendation, not to shaft for ore, in
all cases, but to eon6ne operations
to stripping all outcnoppings where
the ore occurs in ledge form. For,
as rule, it was found in Dr. Bran
ner's measurements that our hori-
zontal veins are seven feet thick. And
since it is shown, as a rule, that such
veins pass through the mountains
where they occur, it is easy to con-
ceive that such occurrences are equal
to lode veins, seven feet wide, the
length and depth of which would be
not greater than the length and
width of territory over which our
horizontal veins occur.
The suggestion, as seen in the new
aspect it gives to our mineral terri
tory, will have one effect at least. 1t
is going to lessen the expense of first
hand owners of zinc properties. For
as stands to reason, with an ore
bearing vein of seven feet in sight,
and the vein general one, it is not
going to take much argument be-
yond the stripping of ore lodges to
prove that properties are rich in
mineral.

Gov. JONES has asked the director of
the census for statement of popula-
ton of the counties of the State at the
earliest possible date, so that candi-
dates for county clerk may be nomi-
mated in counties entitled to them.
Every county having $4,000 or
more population is entitled to both
county and circuit clerk. The Cen
sus Beareau says that it will be i'm
possible to give this information in
time for the September election.

GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT made mis-
take like one of those that caused
Blaine's defeat when he characteriz-
ed all Democrats, without exception,
as lawless, dishonest and cowardly.
OF course the Governor does not
believe this but was merely talking
for rhetorical effect. Nevertheless,
his words will unquestionably cost
him and his chief dearly, alternating
possible Democratic accession to the
Republican ranks.

AT the beginning OF the Spanish
war the United States announced
that no territory was wanted; that
we fought for the great principle OF
self government. AT the end we
took all we could get, and our dom
inant party argues that some people
don't deserve selfgovernment. Is
it any wonder that the Monaghan

tory in China.

that the Germans are largely break

shifts sides-and it now seems that
two thirds will do so-McKinley

Chairman Jones Confident.


Chairman Jones was recently in
New York comforting with Democratic
leaders in that state regarding the
outlook for national success, and ex-
pressed himself as being much en-
couraged.
How do you find the situation in
the east, as compared with four years
ago?" was the first question asked
him.
The democratic party is better or
ganized and generally in better
shape" said Senator Jones. THAT
not saying much, for we were in no
shape at all IN the east in 1896.
mean that we are in very good con-
dition in the east now.
What state should go for Bryan"
That is a kind OF prophecy l will
make any specific claims just now.
"New York leaders like Danforth.
Cambell and Murphy are saying that
state can be carried for Bryan and
Stevenson. How say you senator?"
There is no reason on earth why
our national ticket should not carry
New York. No doubt many thous-
ands of people OF New York are as
dissatisfied with McKinley's imperi-
al policy and the effects of
the republican policy of building up
the trusts, just as people in other
parts of the country are dissatisfied.
81 am sure that Hill and Croker
are both earnestly anxious to do
their share in accomplishing demo-
cratic success. They are both loyal
democrats, and in spite of any per-
sonal differences that may exist be-
tween them, they will work in har-
mony with the object of success OF
the party in view"
"And as to the general prospect in
the United States?" was asked Sena-
tor Jones.
Il am perfectly satisfied with the
outlook" replied Chairman Jones.
81 certainly expect our side to
win One of the strongest rea-
sons for this belief isl caunot put
it better than by quoting from
William Lloyd Garrison in his letter
to Senator Hoar of Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Garrison wrote Uneasy con-
sciences are multiplying in the repub-
lican party" There are many re-
publicans in every community who
were disheartened by the course of
President Mckinley with regard to
foreign conquest.
There is great amount of disaf- |
ection among Germans. Men who |
nave hitherto voted the republican
ticket are alarmed by the danger of
meeting evils with which they are
amiliar in the old world. They look
IN a great standing army as a men
ice to liberty, and again, they fear
neyitable increase of taxation con-
iequent to a policy supporting mill
AIRY operations for an indefinite
lime on foreign soil.
"a large majority of those demo-
rats who left us in 1896 are with
IS now, cordially and heartily, and
hat accession to our numbers great
y increases our chances of success"
senator Jones has the utmost CON
Idence in the democratic managers
throughout the Country and seems

HAVEMEYER HELPING BRYAN.

Can IL be possible that President
Hayemeyer, of the sugar trust, is try
ing to assist in the election of Bryan
by advancing the price of sugar?
There is no doubt that the sugar
trust owes Bryan debt of gratitude.
II will be remembered that the Ne
braskan, while member OF the house
of representatives in 1894, voted for the
Wilson Tariff BILL which included
sugar schedule that had been written
by Secretary Carlisle at the dictation
of Mr. Havemeyer. That tarin Dill
was most favorable to the trust, be-
cause it increased the protection on re-
fined sugar to 1901 per cent ad valo-
rem, as against the protection of 1917
per cent afforded by the Mckinley law.
Under the provisions of the Wilson
German law. for which Bryan voted,
the sugar trust was enabled to monop-
Ollie almost completely the business OF
refining and selling sugar In the United
States. When the Republicans re-
turned to power they passed the Ding
ley bill, in which the differential duty
on refined sugar was reduced very ma
terially--the reduction being, In fact,
from % to 40 per cent from the differ
entail fixed by the Wilson-Gorman law.
The favorable conditions enjoyed by
the trust under the schedule OF the
Wilson German law, which President
Cleveland referred to as measure that
might possibly look like favoritism to
the trusts, were destroyed. Then Pres
ident Havemeyer tried to get even with
the Republicans. In his testimony be-
fore the Industrial Commission at
Washington he falsely declared that
protection was the mother of all trusts,
thus giving the Democrats valuable
ammunition for use during the cam
paign.
Is it stretch of imagination to sup
pose that President Havemeyer is now
trying to help Bryan by forcing up the
price of sugar. the latest increase hav-
ing been a cent pound, for the sole
purpose of giving the Democratic cam
didate chance to show what one trust
controlling an important necessary OF
life has been able to do under Re-
publican administration? The sugar
trust has been frequent contributor
in large amounts to Democratic cam
paigu funds, and If the Democratic
party has not its good will nov ii is
certainly one of the most ungrateful of
all the big corporations.

SOME RECENT HISTORY.

The following extracts from tn
Minneapolis Tribune's report of tn
national Populist convention, held il
Sioux Falls on the 9th of May last, ar
full OF interest in connection with tn
withdrawal OF Towne:
The striking and significant fea-
ture of this part of the proceed
ings was the sarcasm leveled at
the selection Of Democrat and
silver Republican by Populist
convention. The singular specta-
Gle has been presented of a nation
al convention yielding its convic-
tons of political expedieney and
wisdom to a mere sentiment fos-
tered by the selfish interests of two
United States senators whose po-
litical existence is in great peril.
Despite the efforts to work up en-
thusiasm the nomination of Towne
fell fiat after a little perfunctory
applause.
Senator Buffers plea for action
here was an impressive plea behind
which could be detected his fever
ish anxiety lest his own personal
fortunes should be jeopardized. AS
he warmed up he intermingled
warning to the Populists with thin
ly yelled defiance of the Democrats.
II this convention failed in it's
duty he said, the party dies, and
reform dies with it. II the Popu-
lists go into this campaign as the
subseryient tail to the Democratic
kite every vote gained in the East
will be offset by the loss of two in
the west. 1t is the people at home
who will settle this thing, and II
they are betrayed here the mid
road movement will be strengthen
ed throughout the west and south.
