That there are more Republicans
than Democrats among the miners of
this district is probably correct.
The Democratic machine in this re-

also sized up correctly the honesty
and incorruptibility of the miners
and realized that only through fraud
could the Republican majority they
represent be downed. And fraud it
is to be, if the machine can make the

The Republicans of White Pine
county have the opportunity to elect
their ticket from top to bottom this
fall by a good majority. All that is
necessary is for them to get in and
work. This they must do if they pro-
pose to win. They are working
against desperate gang, under New
lands orders and with a slush fund
of around 100000 already doing
business in the state. This gang has
shown its hand in the county to date
through debauchery of Democratic
primaries and by attempt at disfran-
chisement of 900 American miners
employed at Copper Flat, Kimberly
and Veteran. Watehfulness and con-
tinuous effort on the part of Repub-
licans alone can overcome such
methods. Get out the full vote and
the machine ticket will be swamped.

DARK cITY's BIG DAY.

The victorious ending of a three
years fight IN the dark was celebrated
at Park City Wednesday. Three wears
ago a large section Of the Ontario
drain tunnel, the greatest bore of its
kind in the intermOuntain country
cayed in. At once the lower workings
OF the Ontario and DAILY filed I'D. a
thousand feet from the 1000 level TO the
LOCO level. The result was cessation
of operations in very important sections
of these producers, and it was feared
that the water would back up into the
silver King and other great Park city
producers.
Immediately began the fight in the
dark. a fight that was attended by diff
culties seemingly insuperable. Hour
after hour. day after day. month after
month and year after year shifts Of
men were engaged in clearing out the
tunnel. In the progress of the work II
became necessary often for men TO risk
their lives. They did it bravely. cheer
fully, counting it as part OF the daily
Toll. The very life of the camp was. in
large measure. dependent on the re-
opening OF this tunnel, and so risk Of
life and cost of operations were counted
almost as nothing.

FAMOUS WHEAT CORNERS.
Record Shows Promoters Always
Lost and Producers Benefited.
lBrooklYn Eagle.O

A record of the corner" in grain in
the United States, just compiled, indi-
Gates that corners are now things OF
the past partly because the nations
crops have grown too big for corners
TO be attempted, partly because the
losers usually have been the corner
lists" and partly because legitimate
boards of trade have stopped them. The
record from the civil war on shows.
contrary to common belief, that the
producers were benefited by the cor
ners, as they were afforded the oppor-
tunity to sell their crops at fictitious
prices before the corners" collapsed,
usually running in their collapse the
men who attempted them, The specu-
lation which becomes ii market factor
necessarily benefits the price paid to
producers.
In May, 1867 there was a corner in
wheat, and on the 18th day of that
month the price was forced up 10 $3.50,
only to fall back TO 81 the day the
corner" ended. The farmer. who did
not sell his wheat at the fictitious
prices he could have secured. claimed
that the corner" did not benefit him.
In August 1871, there was another
corner and the price was forced to
81 80, and forced up to $1.6f. but at the
end of the month was S1.19.
During May, 1880, there was small
corner" but the range was only sl21
to $1.19. In August. 1881 there was
another corner the price advancing
from S1.19 to $1.3s. In June. 1887, the
memorable Cincinnati combination TO
corner wheat developed, prices being
advanced from S0ssc to 94%c, but the
corner collapsed, running the men en-
gineering il and causing the failure of
several Cincinnati banks. But the pro-
ducers who sold on the bulge made
money. In September, 1888, there was

TOBACCO AND DOGS.

Users Of tobacco will kindly take no.
tice that the weed has deleterious eff
feet on dogs. At least We gather as
much from a recent article in the
Revue Scientifque of Paris. translated
for the Literary Digest, telling of the
effects upon various animals caused by
the inhalation of tobacco smoke. We
quote:
With a dog the results were as fol-
lows: After the cO-pulmonary in
halation of several whiffs of tobacco.
there was an acceIeration and increase
of amplitude of the respiratory move
ments. Sometimes this increase was
preceded by a mOmentary stoppage of
breath. Then, little by little, the respi-
ration resumed its normal type.
The arterial pressure underwent a
great and sudden fall. which was pro-
portional to the quantity inhaled. At
the same moment the heart slowed up
extremely. After short interval the
pressure rose much above the normal.
and the heart began TO beat abnormally
EaSI- Inetl- lltlit BS niue. Tue pressure
returned to the normal or sometimes a
little below.
While the blood pressure was fall
ing. the kidney underwent an intense
vasoconstruction, followed by dilata-
ton and the brain went
through inverse variations. I"
'Bucco-laryngeal inhalation Cwithout
taking the smoke into the lungs) gave
the same results with less intensity
Lucern smoke produced no vasomotor
effects. and with sweet caporal the eff
fects We're clearly less intense"
Other animals TO which the tobacco
smoke was administered were guinea
pigs, which seem to be favorites among
experimenters, rabbits and rats. All of
them seemed to suffer equally with the
dog whose experiences have been de-
scribed. The conclusion is natural that
guinea pigs rabbits. rats and dogs have
no business using tobacco. We would
