This, we suppose, will settle tin* race question among the miners of this comity. The negro is all right in his place, but it has been demonstrated that his place is not among the white miners of this county. This is right. No person, whether white or black, should be imported to take the places of men who are already settled at our mines, and who are ready and willing to work. We do not wish to be understood as approving of shooting negroes ornegroes shooting whites without cause. In fact we condemn every unlawful act, whether committed by whites or negroes. No manshould take the law of his country in his hands. But we do say that no such people should be imported to take the places of any white man.'-1: •*»— *• . 1: --41 - .A • ri*i »• - —d—*make any state feel proud andour people are justified in beingprouil of them.William Comhk, politician; duo. \V.

But both parties, and the candidates on both sides, do so and they never think of calling it cheek. There is not a candidate on the Republican ticket but what will ask Democrats to vote for them. There is nothing cheeky in that. It is a ’favor that every candidate on that side asks. So it is with the Democrats. They ask Republicans to vote for them. They ask it as a favor. In county affairs and the filling of county offices, people should vote as they wish and without dictation from the mouth piece of the republican ring. Party success does not enter into a fight in county affairs; but men are selected because they are the best men for the places. The Democrats say they have the best men. That you may compare men; not party, and that the men nominated by the Democrats are men whom every voters may sustain with pleasure.POST—STAR.The Vincennes Post has been changed to the Star and passes from the management of the Post. This new Star will shine from its post; not fearing the night or Republican ghost. To the same old Post it never will hitch. The parent and stem it started from which. It will move out on the sea of its life, to raze a disturbance and discord and at rife.COST OF STRIKES.According to the report of the Commissioner of Labor, the actual cost- or rather the loss by trikes-from 1880 to 188G six years—was as follows: Wages lost to employees, 850,972,440; a loss of profits to employers, 8*04,102,814, and assistance to strikers, 84,400,559; a total of 898,500,810 in six years. The heaviest loss was to the strikers, unless you count the loss to business generally. This does not include individual losses and losses to communities.NEW COUNTRY OF 6REATWEALTH COMING TO THE FRONT.Where Farmers Crow Rapidly Rich.SAMPLE COPIES.With this issue ends the issuingOof sample copies.

The miners and a committee of citizens passed a resolution requesting the operators not to employ any negroes or black legs in their mines as they were a detriment to society and to honest labor. This resolution was placed before the operators and was discussed. The operators agreed not to employ any“The richest agricultural and stock country oil the face of the earth,” says J. C. Swoof, the big ranchman of South Dakota, in the Denver Tribune, is Southern New Mexico. 4‘These farming lands are all irrigated—and by irrigation in this country the farmer is certain of all the water he wants, and as he wants it, and he is also insured*against floods or too much water. Only a very small proportion of Southern New Mexico can ever be irrigated. The uplands are covered with a line nut-ricious Mexican blue grass, which make them the finest grazing lands for stock cattle upon the earth.“These irrigated lands are worth under cultivation from $300 to $3000 per acre, and they are worth these prices from the fact that they pay the farmer every year from $100 to $1200 above all expenses per acre. Fanning in this country is a gold mine—a mint. A hundred acres under irrigation near the railroad in Southern New Mexico in grass and corn will pay a larger profit per acre every year than any 100 acres in Illinois, Iowa or South Dakota will in ten years. Besides the farmer there runs no danger from flood, drouth or frost, dangers which menace every farmer in the East, North, South and West. In fruit and vegetables these lands pay annually from $500 to $1200 per acre. I amselling out my ranches and all my Dakota property, and shall move immediately to Southern New Mexico.”“What section of New Mexico areyou going to?” asked the reporter.“Doming, New Mexico, will be my destination. It is a beautiful town of 300 inhabitants, u great railroad center, in the middle of the most beautiful valley I ever saw. Demins?nis certain to soon become a great city. The town of Doming and surrounding valley have been recently put under irrigation by the Doming Land and Water Company. These lands are rich and exhaustless, and under irrigation will raise anything nearly that grows, from the hard No. 2 Canadian wheat to figs and raisins.“These lands will be opened for settlement by the middle of August. They can be bought now for from $75 (including water rights) up to $400 per acre. If the farmers of the East and West knew of these facts every acre would be taken within 30 days. It is not likely that an acre of land near Doming can be bought in two years for $2000 per aere.”Reporter—What do you think of the climate.“It is the finest and most delight-ful climate on this earth. I think I am safe in saying it will cure any case of lung, bronchial or throat trouble or malaria or nerve diseases, and the waters will cure almost any kidney trouble. Asthma cannotexist in that climate.”“How is the society?”“Equal to the society of similar towns in Illinois and Massachusetts, and I am a Massachusetts man myself.”National Livery Sta-LL When in town and you want U1C a Feed or Ride, Call atHEATON THRASHER’S,West Sid© Public Square for the beet accorn modations In town.
