A mistake often committed in the formation of mining companies is tho oOor-capitalizntion of (heir properties, a practieo greatly to no deprecated as Ijjiing neither honest nor expedient. Such nidation of values is lacking in honesty localise it tends (o mislead tlQ) more inexperienced and ignorant iSnCion of tho investing public, and impolitic because tho bettor informed of this class will not be likely to buy liP sliQres of a company whoso prop erty has boon so over-capitalized (hat their is li'lle likelihood of (heir over l)ing ahlo to pay any considerable dividend on their stock. A mining coffirjQiiy starting out with a nominal c$pi&l so out of all proportion to the Caluo of thoir property iapt to create (he impression (hat it has been gotten up for tho purpose of soiling shares rather than mn&iiig a largo and profit able production of buFHon. Such cours is calculated to excite distrust iGlldr thau0!roato confidence in tho scheme, and where pursued may oven bringi faiy good property iKfio dis credit. A crying evil in connection with milling transactions is tho exorbitant commission that promoters anil mid dlemen havo seen fit lo exact for (heir services, and which generally ranged fSOni 10 (o (10 pur cent, of I ho price niino-owners have realized for their properties j)t his tax coining oflouer, however, out of (ho purchaser than tho vendor.

(iii SOME REASOXS WHY "Why arc wages so much higher in protected America than in free trade England?" ask the men who attrihntc even blessing of this favored J land to high taxes These arc some of the reasons why, 1 given by the 2vcw York World: iJccauso the United btatcs have an area of .'3.000,000 square miles of ter ritory, while Great Britain has 121, o70. Isecamo the Lnitcd .States have n population of only It to ' the square mile, while Great Britain has 'JSC pco plo crowded upon the same space. Because the United States contain over 1,000,000 farms that produced in 18S7, a value of over $-','21:5,000,000, while Great Britain is subject to the curse of entailed estates and vast tin productive preserves. Because the United States have ir0,000 miles of railway, while Great Britain has but 10,000. Because the United Mates arc richer in mines, quarries, forests and other natural productions, and afford a greater diversity of climate, soil and employment to their inhabitants than any other country in the world. BecauQr, in adition to this greater Held and demand &reIabor, the intel ligence, energy and productive skill of our working people surpass those of any other nation. These arc some of the reasons why wages are higl cr here than in Eng land, have alwavs. been so under low? tariffs and high tariffs alike, and would be so if there were no tariff. CLEV.HLAXI) AKD THE IRISH. O Tho following taken from tlje Sun day Union and Catholic Times, a wide awake journal , enjoying an extensive circulation among our Irish-Ainori- cifti citizen's, moro clearly presents the attitude of President Cleveland to ward Irishmen than anything we have seen yet: "In private life G rover Cleveland enjoyed very pleasing relations with Irish-Aniericnns, soigc of whom were within his'circle of intimate friends and social companions. Irishmen who havo conio into close personal contact with him in public life like the man. There is that about him, whether personal good fellowship, bonhomie or what notp that feels gen ial, perhaps wo may say congenial, to an Irishman. In tho stress and passion of close lighting personal warmth toward a chief is a good thing among Irish soldiers. We wish to see it impelled mpro generally than it now is among our compatriots toward G rover Cleveland. We are glad to bo able to point to such an event as the issuance of the retaliation proclama tion in corroboration of the claim wo make for our parly's leader. Wc do claim that G rover Cleveland is a plucky fellow, a bluff, big-hearted man, and an out-and-out American p unfitted by instinct and by every ole-' ....... .rl i - l. i 1 r mem oi ins nature in uc. an jvuiuiim niac or a toady to any power, or to anything on this earth. Wo claim that an Irish Nationalist can fairly support this AmericSh statesman without violence to his race feelings oj Nationalist principles. Wo claim that Grover Cleveland has done friendly acts of potent infiiionce to advance tho Irish causo. And beforo long wo may feel it wiso and right to prothis to tho satisfaction of all.

'IILDEX OX 77; ' These tariff taxes carry with them other incidents, which greatly in crease their burden. They fall most heavily upon men of sm$ll incomes, tho proceeds of whoso labor and in dustry aro consumed to support them selves and their families. Every man w?S has obtained a situation of coin fort and prosperity can in somo way stand them. Hut take the poor man take tho man not poor, whoso an- 1 until income is consumed in his aiiuii- al support and ho pays u most is- proportionate amount from his earn ings or income for tho taxes lovied ' upon the country. It is not for my- ; self that 1 speak to-day to youp9eo- niaury and citirotis of Columbia; it is , for you, and because I hnvo cherished 1 from my childhood and still chuiish1 tho thought that America is to bo the I homo of its pooplo and not a state in 1 which tho wealthy aro prosperous at I tho expense of toiling millions. Those taxes, when laid on imports j in tho manner in which thoy were laid J in the congressional carnival of man- ! uftioturor which framed our present I tariff, on like n mUappllontion of in diniry that charge on tho consilium', wlmt uoltlior tho government is able tu collect a ln. nor the iiuiiiiifiui turer to npproM-inl0 n prollU.

The Clarksvillc, Ga., Advertiser hits the nail squarely on the head in an editorial on the above subject. That a preacher may possibly dabble in politics ami maintain his Christian purity and inlluciicc for good wc will not dcny,but it would be almost miracle if lie did. Therefore, wc heartily agree with the Advertiser, and so will every right thinking man wc believe, when it says: "Mr. Thaddeus Pickett, the inde pendent candidate for congress in this district, is a regularly ordained min ister of the gospel and no doubt, a very clever gentleman. While wc recog nize and contend for the inherent right of every man, as a general thing, to run for any ollice he may desire, wc think preachers arc an exception to the rule, and wc do not believe that any man who is actively engaged in the work of the Christian ministry has any right to enter into politics and resort to tho very questionable methods which are necessary to nnd inseparable fiom success in (hat field. If a man is called to preach (he gospel to a dying world and ondoaOr to lead men to "the Lamb of God which talc eth away the sin of the world," he certainly is, or should bo. entirely consecrated anil whollv and uncondi tionally set apart to that great and glorious work, and is not called to lead (he people in the crooked and never overly pure labyrinths of poli tics, foonie might claim, however, that wo should elect preachers to ol$ce for the purpose of purifying and elevating (he political standard of morality. That idea won't do. You had just as well claim that Mr. Pick ett should accept the position of clown in some circus for the purpose of rais ing the st.'Qidard of arcnic morals, ft would be just as effectual. No. Whenever a minister deserts his ex alted post as "herald of the Cross," and descends into (so poljjkal arena, instead of elevating politics to his high standard he iuvariablv lowers himself to the depths of political trickery and corruption. It is utterly impossible for a minister to go actively into poli tics without des&'oying his influence for good and forever obliterating his possibilities for usefulness in the pulpit." o A SOUND I.UC.AI.
