The Independent MAN IN OFFICE.

1t is really amusing to hear chronic
old officeholders who have done moth
ing but pull the public teat all their
lives talk about the populists as only
being after offices. According to their
idea they themselves constitute the
only legitimate oftice-holding class,
and should anyone have the audacity
to aspire to an Office without applying
to them they consider him illegitimate
and denounce' him as an imposter.
Their own sordid motives lead them
to think that no person would express
himself in favor of any certain public
policy unless he had some personal
selfish reason for SO doing. It is only
too true in a large number of cases.
1t is only occasionally that you find
man that is willing to sacrifice time
and money for the public good unless
he sees chance to reimburse himself.
And such men do not lay around
scheming for months how to manipu-
late caucuses and conventions. They
attend to their own business and sell
dom if ever aspire for Office. Occa-
sionally people will tire of the ma
chinations Of venal professional place
hunters and will call for men who are
known to be independent men of prin-
ciple. 1t is after the election of such
a man that the real test of his char
acter takes place. He knows that the
combination of circumstances which
led to his nomination is not likely to.
occur again and that while the senti-
ment among the people who elected
him is as strong as ever it may not
find expression at the primaries unless
an organized attempt is made to so
arouse it. Were it only a contest for
one Office the affair would be simple
but in county matters, for in
stance, there are a dozen different
places to fill, each place having differ
ent aspirants. This complicates mat
ters making it impossible, except
where the Office is a very important
one, to secure delegates wholly on the
merits of the candidates for the one
place. Therefore the temptation is
great to enter into combinations with
other candidates, and in short time
our Independent man either becomes
one of ''the gang" or he is retired to
private life. Lucky for him, if he can
contentedly pick up the thread OF priv
ate business or trade and escape the
consuming lust for place. But what of
the community which has lost the SER
vices of a good man? Well, it can
console itself with the thought that it
still has "the gang" And for it's
further edification it will be told by
the political vultures that hover
around the public crib eager to catch
some bit OF carrion that the retired
man simply was after the Office and
nothing more.

Black Diamond and Middle March, they ali express themselves as highly pleased with the outlook, and stating that iu their opinion this property has great possibilities before it o! d=ve!op- ing into bonanza, Along the whole line of c n:ao', the formation insist iug of lime and porphrey. high grade copper ore is found, carrying values both in gold and sliver, and az the ores are !csroonstes 1t will ba an easy smelling proposition, aud on, easily handled; Alth )ugh no development work Of any extent has as yet been attempted, there has bsen several prospect holes sunk along the contact hne, or ledge, demonstrating the fact that the lode is continuous, and the ores not confined soley to one locality of the claims. Several tons of ere are already in sight, giving an assay in copper of from F to 25 per cent. We are informed that an incorp Co are soon 10 commence ths develop ment ef the above mentioned proper ties, off ring the public a chance for investment in legitimate enterprise Of great promise.
 American Investment," published a, Buffalo N |, claims to have fig ured it all out, and declares ths. SO per cent oi the estates in this country either partially or wholly sink out oI view becalse Of waste, defslacstions and wildcat speculstions of trustee. and that 60 per cen Of all the life insurance money that comes to bone Iicisriss is wasted and fails - accom- pli5h he purposes for which it va: originally intended" If these state ments are correct, it is in order for some ststisticisn to show ny compari- son how n,ach .ais- .::;cs invest mehts are, and how greatly larger percentage of the money invested in mining results in satisfactory prof, than in the risk and recklessness oi lines cited.
