The Truth af It.
Ed. Joubnai,: I have had several
"fits" of laughter since I laid down my
pen last week. The uhoge poge" of can
didates dumped into the political "hop
per" by the Telegram last Sunday was
"amooaing" and plainly evidenced the
state of perturbation of the editor's mind.
While I expect to "catch fits" in my
examination of facts, I resume the con
sideration of the statement made in my
third point: "We have, as yet, no de
monstration of what the new party
would da" Why, sir, the editor of the
Telegram stood .aghast last November
at the "demonstration of what the new
party would do." Streaks of fear and
affright could be read all through his
editorials, and tbe handwriting on the
wall placed there by Powers and Kem,
stamping disapproval upon tbe old po
litical parties, bow with bated breath
and smiting knees was tbe "omcial
count" watched that placed J. E. Boyd
in the governor's chair at Lincoln?
"No demonstration," eh! What's the
matter with the two editorials in but
Sunday's Telegram under the head of
"Independent Candidates?" I need not
refer to other states; the democratic
party can find in Nebraska abundant
demonstration of "what the new party
would do."
Give them a chance, they have given
full proof of being in "dead earnest;"
call off tbe "old party hacks," the wire
pullers, the delegate fixers, and the new
party will demonstrate my fifth point,
"and safely-predict" what will be tbe
outcome of such a condition of affairs.
It needs no prophetic vision to see the
outcome of the independent movement
Our country is essentially agricultural,
and 'whether nsniiming the form of a
distinct political organization or a gen
eral movement among all parties" for a
redress of supposed or real wrongs, it
has expanded into such importance that
it cannot be ignored, it cannot be over
come with a sneer, or set aside by mere
assumption and falsification.
ilr. Editor, "the new party has come
to stay," and as found embodied in my
fourth point "there will be a complete
reorganization of tbe political parties."
While there'may be some apparent ex
travagant demands in the independent
platform, they are not so crude but the
strong light oT reason and justice will
enable its supporters to adjust its ine-
OaU to mind the platform of 185fi and
1818, adopted by the republican party;

. Was it Bot the political wromw
and social iajustice prevailing then that
gave birth to the republican party?
Ware those wrongs and iajustice right
ed, notwithstanding the sneers, assump
tion and falsification that assailed them?
The recorded facts of history furnish
the answer.
The farmers and laboriag classes have
been passing through the crucible of
greed and ofyresaion so long that the
great danger to be avoided and guarded
agaiaet by the new party, will be in the

strayed. It is needless now for me to
recapitulate the causes either real or
apposed, that have led us up to the
marest of all the producing classes of
every grade and calling. Both the old
political parties have aided by their ob
norioas legislation and made this "con
dition of affairs" as the result The
real dancer to be apprehended now
that the legislation that now oppresses ;
the farmer will be continued, but that t
hA will anmii-A lfxnalittton that will op

"do unto others as ye would that men
should do unto you" is strenuously in
culcated in alliance meetings even the
new party unaided by the conservative
element of the republican and demo
cratic parties will be a long time usher
ing in the evangel of right and justice.
It is natural, it is proper that the
firmAn should demand a cessation of
the unjust and selfish policy of class leg
islation, but while they seek to destroy
other monopolies and rightfully too.
they must not if they expect to secure
the co-operation of fair-minded men in
both political parties enact or establish
a greater form of oppression and mo
nopoly than those they seek to over
throw. The independents have it in
nAr in anenra the best legislation by
demanding that justice shall be done to
all, not the tiller of the soil alone.
There is a large percentage of the popu
lation needs relief and the aegis of your
sympathy. Show .magnanimity and
breadth to others. Demanding your
riirhto. van are rurht: asking more, you
are wrong and weakening your claims.
As our government resulted from fear
less and independent individual action,
so it must be perpetuated thereby. With
this vitalizing principle permeating the
independent movement, it can live, and
WllUOUb IW IV lUUOb un.
Yea, Mr. Editor, the primal principles
of the "new party'' will never be divorc
ed from politics, now. They are here to
stay, and truly can we predict "what
will come out of such a state of affairs."
Abraham Lincoln said "I affirm it as my
conviction that class laws, placing capi
tal above labor, are more dangerous to
the republic at this hour than was
ntiattal alaverv in the davs of its highest
supremacy. Labor is the superior of
capital and deserves much the higher
consideration." None will question the
devotion and loyalty of the martyred
Lincoln to his fellow man. Republican
and democrat alike, will concede he was
no demagogue.
One of the most widespread causes of
the present unrest discontent and stag
nation, is tbe conflict between me poor
and the rich, and is becoming more
bitter. It is not natural, however, that
a problem that should lie solved will be
given up without an attempt at solu
tion, especially when the unsolved state
imposes a condition of poverty, if not
actual want upon the great majority of
our producing classes, whether depend
Ant nnnn the labor of their hands or
tilling of the soil.
Is it tho destined mission" of the inde
pendent rmrty to solve the problems that
are couched in their declaration of prin
ciples (and promptly adjust them, taking
up tbe issues tuat nave ueen iorcea inu
life by the alliance) through the slow
processes in mastering the science of
political economy, so indispensable in
framing legislation? Or will the con
servative elements, on old party lines be
invoked, seeing the necessity of imme
diate action to restore confidence and
remove the discontent that sullenly
broods like a pall over tbe industries of
our fair land?
Believing I have established "what I
have been drivinir at" in this controver
sy, viz., that the independent party as a
nolitical factor "has come to stay." and
that on republican lines of legislation,
the wrongs and grievances complained
of by the industrial and producing
classes a satisfactory adjustment of the
antagonism existing between capital
and labor, tariff, free coinage, transpor
tation and railroad control can be se
cured, and the wheels of our prosperity
and progress set in motion by "the new
structure" on a communion plane with
us," I jun, yours truly,

Editob. Joubnai.: Leaving Paso del
Norte, Mexico, in company with my wife,
Dr. McLeish of Cincinnati, O., his son
just out of Princeton, Mr. and Mrs. Nun
zenberger via Mexican Central railroad,
we arrived at Magdalena at 11 p. m.,
when we were shown to a room with a
door on each aide of it, but no window,
no carpet, no spring bed or home con
veniences, we were not at all disappoint
ed for we hadnot expected to find any
thing better. The front door faced the
railroad, while tbe rear one opened out
into a Urge patio, where, as a substitute
for trees, flowers and decorations, a
dozen dogs and burros made music.with
no vegetation to gladden the eye. In
the absence of a window to open, it be
came necessary to leave this door open
the entire night We had a restful
sleep. We did not need to be told the
next morning, on going to the breakfast
table, that their chef de cuisine had
failed to put in an appearance, so we
would be treated to a Mexican ualmuer
zo,n with "chili con carna," "chili con
maiz," eta, etc We had started out ex
pecting to find everything very different
from home, and to accept everything
just as it came, so ate breakfast with
apparent relish.
Soon thereafter we set off on our jour
ney of nearly one hundred miles to the
Sabinal mines. At 10 o'clock we reach
ed the old town of Carrizal, where at one
time three thousand Mexicans found
homes, but where now scarcely three
hundred can he found. It was formerly
the "City of Refuge" for a scope of
country twenty-five miles in circumfer
ence, and answered its purpose very well,
until in 1880 when attacked by a large
force of Apache Indians, and almost
devastated aad destroyed, many being
killed or wounded. Others who were
saved, by some device or another, lost
the love that bound them to their former
home and would never live there more.
Even the memories of the old church,
first built sometime in seventeen hun
dred and remodeled about fifty yean
since, with all of its treasured worship
could not influence them to remain. If
this could not, nothing could.
The Carrizal Spriags, located twenty
xtheast furnish aa immense
supply of water for irrigation for the in
tervening country and for that south
west of the town twenty miles farther.
Twenty-six miles distant are the "Mag-
dalena mines" and forty miles distant
"Ventura mines." Each of these
give good promise for the future. But
the "town is deed." No sound of wan-
barterer is heard; no chattering
crowd from city and country gathen on
tne street cornera or martaoc nude; bo
voice of devotion in worship ia the old
cathedral, before her altars, ualess per-
the twittering of the swallows
mow build their nests theroiaor
the ehirpiag of bets im the dark, hidden,
After a rapid drive we reached "Ojo
Galieate" about o'olock at eight Here
iaa magnilet spring of water, no hot
that oaw cannot plange his hand into it
with impuaity. It bsumb its asms
de-lfrom being shaped like an eye, "ojo"
eye, and "caUente" hot The
-old smelter" is the only building here,
except a small bath-house. For nearly
fifteen miles before reaching this you can
see it, like a "city set upon a hiU, built
on a high, rocky mound, nearly fifty feet
above the surrounding country on all
! aides. As you approach it in the beau-
tiful moonlight yon are reminded of the
old German castles in ruins, along the
banks of the Rhine. The crumbling
smoke-stacks remind you of towers, the
porto holes of observatories and the
patio of gardens. Nature's stone stops
furnish a means of approach to tbe en
trance guarded by a dozen dogs of all
sizes and worthless breeds, instead of
the ancient herald. As you enter it a
fine Mexican gentleman and his wife
greet you as if "old-time-friends," semir
ing you that it is "your home as long as
you wish to stay." During your stay
all that can be is done to make it pleas
ant, and on leaving, when you ask what
is to pay, and receive such an. emphatio
"nada," "nada," you can but feel that
your offer to pay is an insult, for yon
had been assured at the outset it was
"all yours."
On our return, as we approaohed this
point e had to cross the "baryal" or
"mud lake," ten miles across. Instead
of mud we found it dust, but have no
doubt that it is well named, in the
"rainy season." On tbe far side of the
"baryal" a most beautiful mirage was
presented. It represented a large har
bor, reaching out into the ocean with
boats at anchor or sailing. So perfect
was it that it was difficult to believe it
was not water, was not real.
The smelter has been transformed into
a residence. for the superintendent and
herders of large cattle interests. The
surrounding country is fine for grazing
purposes; the nearest mines, and they
undeveloped, are over twenty miles dis
tant Thus it can be seen what an
ignoramus or scoundrel the man must
have been who influenced eastern peo
ple to invest over fifty thousand dollars
in "a snre thing," in Mexico, and how
unjust to Mexico the conclusions of
those who were duped. After a hasty
supper on bred, beams and coffee we
were glad to retire for the night, to sleep
soundly on a pallet on the floor of clay.
Not for the night either, for just as our
restful slumbers were filled with "happy
dreams" we were startled with the an
nouncement, "time to get up." The or
ders were obeyed, and after a "hasty
lunch to stay tho stomach," we were off
on our journey at 3 o'clock a. m. The
moon was "full," and it was iimost beau
tiful night The novelty of a moonlight
ride was heightened by the grand chorus
of the hungry coyotes. In our party
were seven persons with plenty of Win
chesters and six shooters ho we had no
fear of an attack. Just at the very in
stant that bright, beautiful moon de
scended behind tbe western horizon Old
Sol's face shono resplendent in the east,
forming tho grandest "iiiuon-set" and
"sun-rise" it boa ever been your corre
spondent's privilege to enjoy. After
traveling till 10 o'clock we stopped for
breakfast and rested till 3 p. m. and at 6
p. m. arrived at camp Sabinal, having
made a distance of 55 miles in one day,
resting five hours in the heat of the day.
This is a new and important mining
camp of great promise. Nearly all the
mines of this district are owned by
Americans and American companies. On
our way in we met large "trains" of ore
haulers, with twenty-six mules to each
wagon. They were hitched six abreast,
by twos, for four files, with two "wheel
era or two at tne tongue. Uf course
the wagons were "monsters," the tire on
the wheels about six inches wide. Such
a team shows that tbe roads cannot be
verr rough or mountainous, or the mules
could not travel six abreast On the
west side of the Sabinal range the ores
are carbonates much like the Leadville
carbonates, and average sixty ounces of
silver per ton or upwards, while on the
east side they are dry ores and average
over $400 in silver to the ton, some
small mill runs reaching as high as seven
thousand ouneoa.
Dr. McLeish and his associates, all of
Cincinnati, O- have a most valuable
"concession" here. It will be interest
ing to your readers to know something
of the character of this concession, to
learn how the Mexican government
treats foreigners. The concession is for
twenty kilometers by thirty kilometers
(133x20 miles) of rich mining lands;
they have the exclusive right to prospect
for mines on this land for ton years, or
until they, have discovered and located
thirty mines, when it is thrown open to
other prospectors: they are exempt from
a compliance with the provisions of the
general mining law, from the payment
of duty on machinery or supplies
brought in to work the mines and from
the payment of state and government
taxes. For these and other privileges
all they have to do is to bind themselves
to expend $200,000 in the ton years;, to
deposit $3,000 in the bank of tbe City of
Mexico, there to remain fivp years, as a
guarantee of their good faith in devel
oping mines; and to bind themselves to
smelt one-half of the ores mined, on
Mexican soil. This company is now
working a large force of rnen, at $1.50
each per day, Mexican money (about
$1.15) and is shipping large quantities
of ore to the United States that will run
from $200 to $500 per ton in silver.
Preparations are now going on for erect
ing their own smelter, close by their
mines. Besides the mines of this com
pany are those of the San Domingo,
Floreocia, Bismark and others. The
San Domingo is also a very valuable
property, owned by.Moami-Ad. Man
zenberger, H. A. True, Geo. Potter and
Paul Bussen, all American citizens. It
is a carbonate lead ore, containing silver
and gold. Over six hundred tone of this
ore have been shipped to El Paso and
pays welL Tbe last car returns gave
$103 per ton. They have about o500
running feet of work, with but httle
stopping done yet The development
work has paid all expenses and three
dividends. 'They are now working about
fifty men. "A mining zone" has been
granted Mr. Munzenberger aad those
whom he may seanciato with him, by tbe
Mexican government which ia very lib

for it Since the capture of the
chief Guonomo, (pronounce the
H.) b company of MexicaB eoldien have
been stationed within n quarter of n
mile of where we stopped. The first
thiag to do, for the hunt, was to arraage
for aequad of eoldien to accompany us,
which was easily done. It was a for
midable cavalcade that set out on the
memorable expedition. First were va-
I rious memben of our party and some
! prominent Mexican gentlemen, eight in
I all, on horseback, "loaded down to the
guards" with Winchesters, ox shooters.
etc. Next came a squad of twelve Mex
ican eoldien on foot, heavily armed, the
lieutenant commanding being among
the horsemen. "Bringing up the rear,"
and in safe distance, came your corre
spondent and wife with Dr. MoLeish
and a prominent Mexican senor, in a
comfortable ambulance, transformed for
the time into a miniature arsenal. Many
times your' correspondent was called
upon to "go for the Johnnies," when he
earnestly hoped they could not be found,
so in this case be was half inclined to
believe he "had lost no odds," and was
not anxious to find any. At least such
Droved to be a fact for after a day and
night's search the return to camp was
made without having seen any game
save coyotes and antelope. Abundant
evidenoe of the near presence of lions
and bears was had, but though, as in
old McGnffey's second reader we used
to read when a boy,
"Oar Captain waa as brave a sua
Aa ere comauaaioa bore," etc.,
we had not the pleasure (?) of his lead
ing us to see one of these masters of the
forest or mountain.
Another day a visit to "Colonia de
Diaz." thirty-five miles distant, was pro
posed in other words, tbe town of Diaz
and surrounding country, occupied by a
colony of Mormons from Utah. There
are about six hundred inhabitants in
the town, and they certainly have made
wonderful progress in a short time in
developing the country. Besides Diaz
there are two other colonies, with an
aggregate Mormon population of about
three thousand, coming from Utah and
Arizona. But these furnish abundant
material for another letter, so I will not
add more in this, exoept to say that, for
the first time, I talked with, perhaps,
much more than an average intelligent
woman who said she had no objections
whatever to her husband marrying other
wives, and that it' was right for him to
do so, and that it is necessary for the
highest happiness of each in the life to
come.
My letter is entirely too lengthy, al
ready, so must close; in this it does not
represent our delightful stay of ton days
with Dr. McLeish, for we could, with
pleasure and profit, have extended it
much.
Having spent some time in the wet
"national campaign" in Nebraska, the
enclosed may have a special interest to
many of your readers, and more because
many of them I know personally. Many
things of interest are found in this coun
try, of which I may write in future
numbers. A. J. a.
July 25th, 189L
WaahlactoB Letter.
From oar regular oorretpoadeet.
Hon. J. S. Clarkson, vice chairman of
the Republican National Committee
and President of the National League of
Republican Clubs, is in Washington
looking after some business oonnectod
with the meeting of the National execu
tive committee at Philadelphia on tbe
29th inst Probably no one man in the
country will exercise a greater influence
upon the coming national campaign
than will Mr. Clarkson. This would
naturally follow from bis presidency of
the National League, but in addition to
that it is as certain as anything in the
future can be that he will become the
chairman of the National committee
when Senator Quay retires, and besides
all that his name has been mentioned
for second place on the National ticket
next year, and the suggestion has been
ao well received that he should give his
consent, which is very doubtful, he
would certainly go into the convention
with a very strong following, particu
larly, from the younger element of the
party.
Mr. Clarkson believes that the Presi
dential campaign has now opened, and
that tbe republicans can win; but he
doesn't think that this can be done by
swinging in a hammock and dozing the
time away; he says it must be work,
work all the time, if the party is to
oontinue in power and it is his purpose
to make the republican clubs tbe in
struments by which much of the work
is to be done, and he' confidently counts
upon the active assistance of the repub
lican press in the good work of promul
gating the truth, which is the founda
tion of republican principles and which
is the first work to be done. He be
lieves that when you have given a man
the' right ideas at good government you
have made a republican.
It is not pleasing to the mugwumps
and Miss Nancy's, but it is nevertheless
a fact that one of the best bureau ever
in the Government service is one of the
most intense political partisans who
held office here, and he makes no pre
tense of beeing anything else. The
gentleman referred to is Hon. Thomas
B. Coulter, of Ohio, who fills the very
important position of Sixth Auditor,
and who ia president of, and one of the
hardest woken in the Ohio republican
association; By a reorganization of the
Sixth Auditor's office this most efficient
official baa for the first time in yean got
much of the work up to date. The
money order business is right up to the
current week, and the auditing of post
office accounts is from sixty to seventy
days ahead of any previous record.
On the 1st of August the control of
tbe Indiana at Pine Ridge agency, who
have been as prisonere of war since the
uprising there last winter, will pass
from the army to tbe Interior depart
ment and once more tbe Indian agent
will be in charge. It is supposed that
army officers who have been in charge
at other agencies will be relieved on the
same date. Some people are predicting
trouble on account of tbe ohange, but
at the Interior department none u an
ticipated. It ia said here that Senator Gorman's
refusal to take charge of the domorratia
campaign in Ohio hag resulted in bring
ing ae much pressure to bear on Samtor
Brioe that he has Bsaeented to cut hie
European tour abort and return'for the
purpose of opening his barrel to help
Campbell. If the story told here about
this be true, and it ia told by good dem-
ocrta, Brioe has been driven into this by
threats of the democrats joining with
republican in the next Ohio legislature
to declare his seat in the Senate vacant
on account of his not being a citizen of
Ohio. That such an action could be
legally taken by the Ohio legialatare ie
believed by experienced lawyen of both
political parties, and that it ought to be
taken ie the opinion of most men who
are opposed to seeing seats in the Uni
ted 8tates Senate knocked down to the
highest bidder.
It ie believed that when Secretary
Proctor leaves the Cabinet to enter the
Ssaate as Senator Edmund's suoceasor
that ex-Gov. Cheney, of Vermont wfll
become Secretary of War. It is known
that Gov. Cheney is aa old friend of tbe
PresideBt's aad that tne Secretaryship
of War was tendered to aad declined by
him for some pampas! reason, said not
to exist at this time, before it was of
fered to Mr. Proctor, indeed it is thought
that he suggested Mr. Proctor's name
for the portfolio.
The democrats are beginning to call
each others names in the Speakership
fight end the abuse of Crisp who seems
to be in the lead, ia getting to be very
bad. First the liquor interests were
worked upon by accusing Crisp of
being a prohibitionist; then he waa
aneeringly referred to as the "lobbyists
candidate," and now they are accusing
him of promising away more chairman
ships of committees thaa there are in
the House in order to get pledges of
votes. Before they get through they
will show, what is alrerdy apparent to
shrewd observers, that the democrats
have not elected a single man to the
House who is capable and competent
enough to make a good Speaker.
Mb. Thomas Battb, editor of The
Graphic, Texarkana, Arkansas, has
found what he believes to be the beet
remedy in existence for tbe flnx. His
experience is well worth remembering.
He says: "Last satnmer I had a very
severe attack of flux. I tried almost
every Known remedy, none giving re
lief. Chamberlain's Colio, Cholera and
Diarrhoaa Remedy was recommended
to me. I purchased a bottle and re
ceived almost immediate relief. I con
tinued to .use the medicine and was en
tirely cured. I take pleasure in rec
ommending this remedy to any person
suffering with such a disease, as in my
opinion it is the best medicine in.ex
