which have brought genuine prosperity to the
country and glory to its arms and which promise
high prestige in the future
The persistent labor of the Tribune during the
four years of President Cleveland, its immense
circulation eachlng TO every hillside and
valley in the United States is regarded by many
friends as having contributed very materially to
prepare the country for the return, in 1896 to
Protection and Sound Men v and to vote for a
Republican cal didate for the Presidency.
1t may as well be confessed, that one object of
the Tribune in putting forth lis new and admir-

A Piece of Pure Luck.

The discovery of the famous Trojan
mine in Calaveras county, Cal, is curl
GUS as an illustration of pure luck and
doubtless has heartened many a dis
couraged miner. In January, 1865,
Henry Becker, a German, and John l..
Trimmer. a Connecticut man, two poor,
ragged, discouraged mining prospect
Ors, went into the mountains of Gala
veras county to cut oak wood for fuel.
They expected to make something like
$50 or $40 each per month during the
winter by the sale of the wood They
made their home in an old abandoned
miners cabin. a heavy fall of snow
had covered the ground to the depth of
two or more feet.
One day the two men built a great
bonfire of brush. The heat melted the
snow and left an area of hot earth.
Becker determined to make an oven
out of the hot ground, and, securing a
haunch of deer meat, he began the
digging of a hole in which to bake
it. At the depth of two feet he
came upon a bed of rock. He had been
prOspectOr too long to resist the temp
tation of examining the rock. and, ac-
cordingly, before placing the meat in
the hole he broke off a piece of the
rock.
Then, after the venison was buried
and roasted. he examined the broken
bit of rock carefully by the light of his
cabin candle. To his very great aston
ishment, 1t proved to be what miners
call live rock, assaying 5000 to the ton.
For several months Becker and Trim
mer kept their great find a secret, in
the meantime gathering Information
concerning the dip angle and length
and breadth of their new discovered
ledge. Within year from its dlscov-
cry this mine had made Becker and
Trimmer rich.-Philadelphi Times.

Il NEW GOVERNOR.

Last Monday, Mr.. Fosters duties
as Governor Of Louisiana came to an
end and Mr.. Heard's began. The sun
Of the old administration went down,
brilliant to Ithe last, leaving, behind
clear Skies into which the new arises
with every Indication that it will not
be Outshone by its predecessor,
That the affairs of this common
wealth will be administered satisfac-
torily during the ensuing four years
becomes almost automatic, when one
considers the high moral character
and eminent fitness Of the man.at the
helm. The new Governors honesty,
his ability, and the love that he has
eVinced during years of valuable ser
vice to this grand old State, are rain
bows sufficient, to promise another
four years of splendid State govern
ment..
Given the thing to be done and: the
right man to do it, and the result is
not so difficult to foretelI, as it would
be with a thing to be done and a man
Of unknown, INFESTED qualities, to do
it.
Governor Heard has been tested
and his ability as an engineer is we'll
known and well recognized. He is
not going to run this old engine of
State backwards. The headlight will
remain in front, and the rate of speed.
will not be decreased until the next
gubernatorial station is reached four.

BRYAN n BAILEY.


Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Bailey, of Texas.
would make a strong Presidential
team. MI. Bailey is a statesman Of
strong personality. He is Brainy,
incorrhptible, and second only to Mr..
Bryan as an orator. AS leader of the
Democratic forces in the House Of
Representatives, he came prominent
" before the public and impartial
critics said at that time, not except
ing Tom Reed, Mr.. Bailey wasthe
brainest man in Congress. His posi-
ton on every question that Congress
had to deal with was manly and Dig
nifed and he defended every cause
that he espoused with such d~exterous
logic and matchless oratory, that he
was at once recognized, by unbiased
critics, as one Of the great men of the
day.
Mr.. Baileys brilliant success in the
recent senatorial contest in Texas, and
the practically unanimous endorse
ment that he received from the DEM
ocratic press and people, of the
United States, make him a vice-presi-
Dental possibility, with every assu-
rance that his nomination would be
hailed with delight by the Democrats
Of every State.
Mr.. Bryan will be unanimously
nominated for President. There is
absolutely no serious opposition to
him, for all recognize that he is a
man with a destiny to perform-one

siderate Providence has given torthis

AS Bryani5 a man witha special
mission to perform all Of the forces
that man and money can bring to
bear, all oftbe tricks Of the unscru-
pulOus politicians, or the overbearing
Of souless trusts, can only thwart for
a brief period, the fulflIment Of that
mission. Before Mr.. Bryan retirea

men sent at him, as Jackson accom4
pIished his in spite Of the powerful
forces that sought to, overthrow and
destroy him.
Such men as Washington, Jackson.
Lincoln and Bryan are more than
mere clay figures created by nature
during its idle moments. Each was
an inspiration, begotten BY thougRtfu,
and loving parentage; during periods
when ordinary mortals seemed too
weak and too powerIess to stem the
tide Of retrogression; or to bring
from TIE. chaos Of pickering diseon-
tent that happy spirit Of peace and
good will toward men, that, for the
moment, seemed lost and forgotten.
Mr.. Bryan, and the principles Of
good government, will finally triumph,
aided or unaided, iBy the prominent
politicians Of the land. His task,
however, will be made easier if the
assistance he merits will be given,
and it would be powerfullypoor assis-
tance if some fgure-head was named
as his running mate by the National
Democratic Convention.
Mr.. Bailey is the man. He and Mr..
Bryan would make the welkin ring.
They would stampede the trusts, put
to rout the forces Of Wall Street, and
blacken both eyes Of that foreign
tOngued enticer-Imperialism.

room attachment. separate returns were
filed by Judge Tally and Roseilf Judge
Tally sent his return to the clerk OF the
court and it was presented by him in ii he
asks, that the temporary rule be dismissed
and the absolute rule not issued. 1t says:
".The writ should not issue because It ap
pears from the petition of plaintiff that this
defendant as Judge of the Circuit Court.
has Jurisdiction to inquire by wha; authority
said Excise Commissioner is about to take
the alleged threatened action, !nasmlich as
such action requires the exercise of judicial
powers by him. and the entering o: 4 tenn
