is anv tiling in the appropriation

men to he light there, so that we
secure all that can b- had. It is
interesting to know liovv men get

small use for the article just now.
ome af our Western men have
attempted to electrify the country
with the words of burning- elo
quence, but generally they have
put their feet in it ami have heen
laughed at for their pains. What
we want is the ge mine rustler,
who throws d-gnitv to 'he wind in

thing of p. litics is a grab game

well realize it now a.- later on.
