I have had within two weeks letters from no . less than thirteen Republican aspirants for office, and each one writes as though he expects that lam going to make his fight my fight. Now some of them are bound to be disappointed in me, and here I am to find out which ones will be most liberal if I stand in forthem. Ihave but very little choice between any of them, to tell the honest truth, and so I might ase well treat the subject from a business standpoint. Tf my support is worth having,:it’s worth paying for. I can’t accomplish much for anybody without a l6ss‘df time.-’ Time is money to me. Hence my motto is éstridtly business’ this year go far as the local fight is* concerned,”?

Eprror Transcript—lIf there is one *thing more than another that I desire to see, itis harmony at the Republican caucus, to be hel! next week. I have a suggestion to offer as to the manner of selecting the 20 delegates to be voted for at the primary. It is this; That 50 representative Republi‘cans be placed in nomination, (or 75 or 100, it matters not Row large the number may be,) and the same be. printed -on one ticket, At the primary let the yoters scratch off all but 20. This method would give general satisfac1 tion. Some may object to it, but surely it isa fair way of getting a true expression of the delegates desired, and there will be no show of swindling the Republicans out of rights which belong to. them, as has been done go many times.’ If any one has better plan let him suggest it through the ~~ golumne of the local press.

The Record of Two Quartz Glaims in Grass Valley District. The Bulletin of Thursday says: One of the most Prosperous mjning camps in the State is about Grass Valley, in Nevada county. The mines there have been worked for many years and most profitably. The Eureka, Empire and North Star in the sixties paid tneir owners well. The Idaho has been out the longest in a continuous dividend record. The mine has been paying monthly dividends, with few interruptions, for nearly twenty years, having commenced in 1869. The dividends have varied from $1 to $15 per share. There are only 3,100 shares which are owned by half-a-dozen people, who have been made rich by the operations of the mine. The stock has never been on the market, and consequently there is no embagrassment in speaking of the property. The dividends of the Idaho for each year to date are as follows: Div’s Per Cent.

Since then the dividends are semiofficial, and may not be rightly portioned from yearto year. The 224th dividend paid in June, 1888, brought the total up to $4,887,150, equal to 1,5763¢ per cent. on the capital of $1,576.50 per share. In would be difficult to find another mine in’ this State, or in any other, that has paid as high percentage of interest on nominal capital in 194g years as the Idaho. The nominal capital is $310,000, but it is doubtful if any considerable portion of that amount was ever paid in. The mine has been a paying one almost from the very stuart. But even admitting that the whole $310,000 was paid up in 1868, the capital has been returned to stock holders nearly sixteen times over since then. The dividends have averaged over $240,000 per annum, equal to 80 per cent on the nominal capital every year. The dividends for the first -six months of 1888 were as follows: Per share. Amt.

This makés 226 dividends paid to date, making 1,6014¢ per cent on the nominal capital, equal to §1,601.50 per share, or a grand total of $4,954,650, since January 1, ‘1869, a period of 19 years and 8 months, If there be another mine in the State of alifornia;,or anywhere else on the American Continent, that can show a better record, all things considered, we shall be glad to hear from it, and make the faet public. 5 The Eureka mine at Grass Valley paid $1,199,000 in dividends up to and including April, 1878, and then was abandoned as worked out. The Empire mine in the same locality has paid a considerable amount, but we have not been able to get the total. The North Star of Grass Valley began paying in June, 1868, at the rate of $5 per share on 3,000 shares. It paid three dividends at that rate and then stopped until May, 1870. Under the old owners the dividend record ceased in March, 1872. In this interval the North Star paid as follows: Div's.

Hagte of New York. Mr, Hague was once a resident of Culifornia, and-is a well known mining engigeer. He has had coztrol for upwards of a year, during eportion of which time the mine has yielted as mach as $30,000 per month. He~bas put in machinery coating $72,000, and last month paid a dividend of $45,000, ‘besides currying forward a good surplis in-bank. The North Star is now c:pitalized. with 100,000 shares, of which only 93,000 shares have been issued of a par value of $10 each. The stock has been placed on the New-York Board, and sume of the stockholders reside in New York and Boston. Those who know Mr. Hague will rejoice with him in his acquisition. The North Star was believed to be a good mine when first opened, but there were misfortunes attending its early history?For removing dandruff, Ayer's Hair $igor hus no eqoal.

The Old Man Tackles a New Subject and Asks Some Hard Questions. —— A few evenings ago ago the Old Man came out of the cabin after supper, and after a dezen long draws from his pipe he looked at. me and asked : “How far can you see intoa mill stone? Any further. than the eyeis drilled?” Well, I had to acknowledge that was about the extentof my penetration. “But what are you thinking of that youshould ask such a question ?”’ Well’, said the Old Man, ‘‘I was reading a speech of Wendell Phillips, made a dozen years ago, and it set me to thinking. And the more I think the more I get mixed up.’ In this speech Phillips says there isone man in New York City that controls four hundred and fifty millions of dollars’ worth of property, and this being corporation property it will not be scattered to the four winds on bis death. So no matter how worthless his sons to the control of the very. smartest. most unscrupulous man that can be found. Thomas Jefferson, when he strangled the old English law of primogeniture, though he had put a Republican government on a sure foundation—had thoroughly and completely taken the sting out of every form of aristocracy; but we are only a hundred years old when we find we have created a sort of impersonal person that never dies and whose money is never scattered. A corporation in the eye of the law is a ‘person,’ only unfortunately, it has ‘no. neck to be hanged nor soul té:be damned:’. This is not the worst of it. These corporations have discovered that by combining they can do almost anything they cheose. States are notoriously put in disgrace by their subserviency to certain interests, Not many years ago, it was said that the whole governmental affairs of New Jersey were urranged year after year in the office of the Camden & Amboy ruilroad, and our great State of California has not escaped asimilar disgrace. It is said of one combination, called now-a-days a “trust,’’ that it has forced the stock men of the entire Central Range, and _jhalf a dozen States besides, to seli their beef at an average of seven cents a pound, and this Irust has sold the same beef to the public at xbout fifteen cents. Coal oil sells on the Eastern seaboard for about twelve cents a gallon. I_mean oil fit for lamps; but in the interior States it . sells for all sorts of prices, excepta decent price. The great Standard Oil Company controls the oil business of the United States, and to protect its interests, sends its President to the United States Senate. The less we say about that the better. I look around the country. and I see a few men enormously rich, living in palaces and trying to ape the manners of the Old World aristocracy ; und all around them I see men laboring with the desperation of despair for the means to keep soul and body together. I see that this has led the better cluss to orgunize themselves into combinations for the avowed purpose of getting a decent share of the product of their labor—in other words, to increase the price of the only commodity they have to sell. Now comes a curious things This organization of laboring men and women is called ‘Socialism,’ and writers and speakers fail to find in their vocabulary terms of execration dumning enough for them. Now will somebody please tell me. the difference between ‘Trusts’ and ‘socialisms?’ About the only difference I can see is this: The former is managed by the rich to squeeze the last possible cent out-of t!.¢ masses, and managed damnably. The latter is run by the laborers of the country to get for themselves and their little ones a decent living, and managed prayerfully. If we have hatched such u brood of terrors at the end of our first century, what will the next century bring forth?” The Old Man stopped. I only answered, ‘‘It looks as though either Jefferson or our modern politicians have gone wrong.”’ : Sequin. Democratic Doines, It is rumored that at next Saturday afiernoon’s meeting E. J. Rector will tender his resignation as chairman of the Democratic y Central Committe, the for being that he cannot atten@"o the duties of the posit.on without neglecting his private business affairs und that he may leave the early part of next month on a visit to the Eastern and Middle States. Some of the Democrats at the county seat are quietly agituting in favor of electing at the coming county convention of the party an entire new committee, although it is rather doubtful ifthey can win enough over to their way of thinking to secomplish their desire, —X—_ Piles!

The Crown Prince of Germany—His Ancestry and His Future. Herewith is given a correct portrait of William, the eldest son of Emperor William II., and after him heir to the German imperial crown and Prussian throne. Hg first saw the light of day on the sixth of May in the year 1882, in the royal palace at Potsdam,and consequently isin his seventh year of age. It is this young prince whom the late Emperor William I. on his eighty-fifth birthday is represented holding on his arms in the presence of son and grandson. ‘Four Emperors!’ said the loyal Berliners at that time, and they were highly pleased; but within a few months two of them have passed away, and it is said that the present emperor is also afflicted with a malignantear-disease. After him young William, the subject of this sketch, will be called to control the destiny of Germany. When the subject of a marriage between the late Emperor Frederick III., then crown prince ot Germany, and Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter was first broached, Prince Bismark was reported to have expressed his disappoval of the match in these terms: ‘“‘It will spoil our hundsome Hohenzollerns.”” The house of Hanover is a physically wreak and undersized stock, while the Hohenzollerny are, as a rule, splendid specimens of humanity: Bismark’s fears were realized. All the late Emperor's children, with the exception of Princess Charlotte, are commonplace in appearance. The mother of the young crown prince, the present Empress Victoria of Germany, is a thoroughly educated and accomplished woman, under whose care young William is receiving an-.excellent preparatory education.

The Journal is said by the kickers to be weak in_its editorial department, and to be principally devoted to the promulgation of narrow-minded theories and impractical hobbies.

Eprror Transcript—lIf there is one *thing more than another that I desire to see, itis harmony at the Republican caucus, to be hel! next week. I have a suggestion to offer as to the manner of selecting the 20 delegates to be voted for at the primary. It is this; That 50 representative Republi‘cans be placed in nomination, (or 75 or 100, it matters not Row large the number may be,) and the same be. printed -on one ticket, At the primary let the yoters scratch off all but 20. This method would give general satisfac1 tion. Some may object to it, but surely it isa fair way of getting a true expression of the delegates desired, and there will be no show of swindling the Republicans out of rights which belong to. them, as has been done go many times.’ If any one has better plan let him suggest it through the ~~ golumne of the local press.

The Record of Two Quartz Glaims in Grass Valley District. The Bulletin of Thursday says: One of the most Prosperous mjning camps in the State is about Grass Valley, in Nevada county. The mines there have been worked for many years and most profitably. The Eureka, Empire and North Star in the sixties paid tneir owners well. The Idaho has been out the longest in a continuous dividend record. The mine has been paying monthly dividends, with few interruptions, for nearly twenty years, having commenced in 1869. The dividends have varied from $1 to $15 per share. There are only 3,100 shares which are owned by half-a-dozen people, who have been made rich by the operations of the mine. The stock has never been on the market, and consequently there is no embagrassment in speaking of the property. The dividends of the Idaho for each year to date are as follows: Div’s Per Cent.

Since then the dividends are semiofficial, and may not be rightly portioned from yearto year. The 224th dividend paid in June, 1888, brought the total up to $4,887,150, equal to 1,5763¢ per cent. on the capital of $1,576.50 per share. In would be difficult to find another mine in’ this State, or in any other, that has paid as high percentage of interest on nominal capital in 194g years as the Idaho. The nominal capital is $310,000, but it is doubtful if any considerable portion of that amount was ever paid in. The mine has been a paying one almost from the very stuart. But even admitting that the whole $310,000 was paid up in 1868, the capital has been returned to stock holders nearly sixteen times over since then. The dividends have averaged over $240,000 per annum, equal to 80 per cent on the nominal capital every year. The dividends for the first -six months of 1888 were as follows: Per share. Amt.

This makés 226 dividends paid to date, making 1,6014¢ per cent on the nominal capital, equal to §1,601.50 per share, or a grand total of $4,954,650, since January 1, ‘1869, a period of 19 years and 8 months, If there be another mine in the State of alifornia;,or anywhere else on the American Continent, that can show a better record, all things considered, we shall be glad to hear from it, and make the faet public. 5 The Eureka mine at Grass Valley paid $1,199,000 in dividends up to and including April, 1878, and then was abandoned as worked out. The Empire mine in the same locality has paid a considerable amount, but we have not been able to get the total. The North Star of Grass Valley began paying in June, 1868, at the rate of $5 per share on 3,000 shares. It paid three dividends at that rate and then stopped until May, 1870. Under the old owners the dividend record ceased in March, 1872. In this interval the North Star paid as follows: Div's.

Hagte of New York. Mr, Hague was once a resident of Culifornia, and-is a well known mining engigeer. He has had coztrol for upwards of a year, during eportion of which time the mine has yielted as mach as $30,000 per month. He~bas put in machinery coating $72,000, and last month paid a dividend of $45,000, ‘besides currying forward a good surplis in-bank. The North Star is now c:pitalized. with 100,000 shares, of which only 93,000 shares have been issued of a par value of $10 each. The stock has been placed on the New-York Board, and sume of the stockholders reside in New York and Boston. Those who know Mr. Hague will rejoice with him in his acquisition. The North Star was believed to be a good mine when first opened, but there were misfortunes attending its early history?For removing dandruff, Ayer's Hair $igor hus no eqoal.

The Old Man Tackles a New Subject and Asks Some Hard Questions. —— A few evenings ago ago the Old Man came out of the cabin after supper, and after a dezen long draws from his pipe he looked at. me and asked : “How far can you see intoa mill stone? Any further. than the eyeis drilled?” Well, I had to acknowledge that was about the extentof my penetration. “But what are you thinking of that youshould ask such a question ?”’ Well’, said the Old Man, ‘‘I was reading a speech of Wendell Phillips, made a dozen years ago, and it set me to thinking. And the more I think the more I get mixed up.’ In this speech Phillips says there isone man in New York City that controls four hundred and fifty millions of dollars’ worth of property, and this being corporation property it will not be scattered to the four winds on bis death. So no matter how worthless his sons to the control of the very. smartest. most unscrupulous man that can be found. Thomas Jefferson, when he strangled the old English law of primogeniture, though he had put a Republican government on a sure foundation—had thoroughly and completely taken the sting out of every form of aristocracy; but we are only a hundred years old when we find we have created a sort of impersonal person that never dies and whose money is never scattered. A corporation in the eye of the law is a ‘person,’ only unfortunately, it has ‘no. neck to be hanged nor soul té:be damned:’. This is not the worst of it. These corporations have discovered that by combining they can do almost anything they cheose. States are notoriously put in disgrace by their subserviency to certain interests, Not many years ago, it was said that the whole governmental affairs of New Jersey were urranged year after year in the office of the Camden & Amboy ruilroad, and our great State of California has not escaped asimilar disgrace. It is said of one combination, called now-a-days a “trust,’’ that it has forced the stock men of the entire Central Range, and _jhalf a dozen States besides, to seli their beef at an average of seven cents a pound, and this Irust has sold the same beef to the public at xbout fifteen cents. Coal oil sells on the Eastern seaboard for about twelve cents a gallon. I_mean oil fit for lamps; but in the interior States it . sells for all sorts of prices, excepta decent price. The great Standard Oil Company controls the oil business of the United States, and to protect its interests, sends its President to the United States Senate. The less we say about that the better. I look around the country. and I see a few men enormously rich, living in palaces and trying to ape the manners of the Old World aristocracy ; und all around them I see men laboring with the desperation of despair for the means to keep soul and body together. I see that this has led the better cluss to orgunize themselves into combinations for the avowed purpose of getting a decent share of the product of their labor—in other words, to increase the price of the only commodity they have to sell. Now comes a curious things This organization of laboring men and women is called ‘Socialism,’ and writers and speakers fail to find in their vocabulary terms of execration dumning enough for them. Now will somebody please tell me. the difference between ‘Trusts’ and ‘socialisms?’ About the only difference I can see is this: The former is managed by the rich to squeeze the last possible cent out-of t!.¢ masses, and managed damnably. The latter is run by the laborers of the country to get for themselves and their little ones a decent living, and managed prayerfully. If we have hatched such u brood of terrors at the end of our first century, what will the next century bring forth?” The Old Man stopped. I only answered, ‘‘It looks as though either Jefferson or our modern politicians have gone wrong.”’ : Sequin. Democratic Doines, It is rumored that at next Saturday afiernoon’s meeting E. J. Rector will tender his resignation as chairman of the Democratic y Central Committe, the for being that he cannot atten@"o the duties of the posit.on without neglecting his private business affairs und that he may leave the early part of next month on a visit to the Eastern and Middle States. Some of the Democrats at the county seat are quietly agituting in favor of electing at the coming county convention of the party an entire new committee, although it is rather doubtful ifthey can win enough over to their way of thinking to secomplish their desire, —X—_ Piles!

The Crown Prince of Germany—His Ancestry and His Future. Herewith is given a correct portrait of William, the eldest son of Emperor William II., and after him heir to the German imperial crown and Prussian throne. Hg first saw the light of day on the sixth of May in the year 1882, in the royal palace at Potsdam,and consequently isin his seventh year of age. It is this young prince whom the late Emperor William I. on his eighty-fifth birthday is represented holding on his arms in the presence of son and grandson. ‘Four Emperors!’ said the loyal Berliners at that time, and they were highly pleased; but within a few months two of them have passed away, and it is said that the present emperor is also afflicted with a malignantear-disease. After him young William, the subject of this sketch, will be called to control the destiny of Germany. When the subject of a marriage between the late Emperor Frederick III., then crown prince ot Germany, and Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter was first broached, Prince Bismark was reported to have expressed his disappoval of the match in these terms: ‘“‘It will spoil our hundsome Hohenzollerns.”” The house of Hanover is a physically wreak and undersized stock, while the Hohenzollerny are, as a rule, splendid specimens of humanity: Bismark’s fears were realized. All the late Emperor's children, with the exception of Princess Charlotte, are commonplace in appearance. The mother of the young crown prince, the present Empress Victoria of Germany, is a thoroughly educated and accomplished woman, under whose care young William is receiving an-.excellent preparatory education.

The Journal is said by the kickers to be weak in_its editorial department, and to be principally devoted to the promulgation of narrow-minded theories and impractical hobbies. While a few individuals in the rural precincts look upon it as a wonderful publication, a great many seem to think that they do not get value received for the $1.50 a year it costs them. * ERE e Peculia Peculiar {n combination, ortion, and preparation of ingredients, Hood's Barsaparilla possesses thé curative value of the best Fem dies of the vegetable Hood Ss kingdom. -Peculiar in its strength and economy, Hood's Sarsaparilla is the only medicine of which can truly be said, “One Hundred Doses One Dollar.” Peculiar in its medicinal merits, Hood's Sarsaparilia accomplishes cures hitherto unknown, and has war, oarsaparillatise: the title of “The greatest blood purifier ever discovered.” Peculiar in its ‘good name at home,” —there is more of Hood's Sarsaparilla sold in Lowell than of all other blood purifiers.

Reason than Rhyme. A reader of the TraXscarrrr contributes the following with the apology meeting of the City Trustees. that it contains more truth than poetry : Weinvite Eastern home-seekers To turn their attention this way, While the boom in the valleys Is fast going to decay. Come up in the foothills Where ric soilis found, Where, deep in the earth, quartz With gold doth abound. The fruit tha: we raise is the best. The Valleyans think it a treat; Our potatoes beat the whole West, Andas for grain, just look at our wheat Come this way one and all, And see with your own eyes. Look atthe abundant crop this Fall, About which we never tell Hes. Im regard to water for irrigation, You can get a full supply From the rivers and the ditches That go running quietly by. You may talk of the valleys With their one crop a year; You can get three or four e By coming up here. The climate'’s delightful, It is hore health is found, _ Where ne’er failing streams And cold springs abound. Come and help build more railroads Through these mountains of gold, Clear the woodland for farming And dig fer treasures unteld. Come right now, While land is so low; A year hencé It may not be so.
