HONEST MINING.
Thomas Tonge commends It to School
Of Mines Students.

In his address to the Technical So
ciety of the Colorado School of Mines
at Golden. Thomas Tonge, the we'll
known newspaper writer. discussed
Legitimate VS.. Illegitimate Mining. '
The address covered wide field. but
the lesson sought to be conveyed may
be gathered from the following con
cluding paragraphs:
Every dollar lost in mining or So
called mining has tendency to pre-
vent 500 from going into 1t. Every
dollar invested satisfactorily in min
ing has a tendency to bring another
500 into It, It is the true policy and
interest of every person interested in
the mining states and in the growth of
the Legitimate mining industry to see
that the outsider induced TO put
money into mining has "a square deal.
There are capitalists, large or
small, all over this country who would
not be deferred from furnishing money
for mining enterprises, by the risks
inseparable from mining. under the
most favorable circumstances, If they
could feel sure they would get "A
square DEAL because, If successful,
such risks are compensated for by
bigger profits than in any other legiti-
mate business. But they naturally OBJ
ject in addition to the risks in the
ground, to take much greater risks In
the men handling the money and the
ground.

Results in Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia. - Philadelphia has
been swept by the reform movement,
the City party ticket winning by
surprisingly large plurality.
While returns from only six of the
forty-two wards in this city had been
counted up to midnight, enough is
known of the result in the remaining
wards to indicate the defeat of the
Republican local ticket by from 10000
to $4,000 plurality.
The victory of the City party, with
the election of w. II. Berry, the Dem
ocratic and Reform candidate for
state treasurer, by $4,000 to 100000
plurality, shows that j. Lee Plummer,
the Republican candidate for that Of
fee, was badly cut throughout the
city and state, and he has lost his
own county, which is usually Repub-
lican.
The result has every appearance of
landslide for reform. not only in
Philadelphia, but throughout the
state.

Democrats Win in Kentucky.

Louisville, Ky.-One hundred and
forty-two precincts out of 1S4 in the
city of Louisville give Paul c. Barth-
Democratic nominee for mayor, 1887,
and O'Neal, fusion, 1878. Barth's plu-
raility, 1854. Indications are that the
fusionists may elect county judge
and one legislator in Louisville and
Jefferson counties, with another legis-
lative race in doubt.
Elections were held in the state for
100 seats in the Legislature. The COM
plexion of the Legislature will be prac-
tically unchanged and the Democrats
will have good working majority
with which to choose a successor to
