Queer Forms Amuiimw! by Molten SI’rep
Dropped on Cold Slabs.
Chicago Herald.
Ten years ago this winter I stood in the
big California atamp mill at Virginia City,
Nev , watobing the sixty ponderous 250
pound weights thundering on the qnartz
The pulp was being stirrsd in the great
pans; the tailings were going out down a
dame like a mill raoe. At each settling pan
was a large canvas bag held in a vise-like
grip. I was invited to thrnat my ban t into
one of them. I did so, sud brought *up a
great handful of something that was heavy
and elusive as quioksand.
“That,” said Senator Fair, then superlu
tendent of the Big Bonauzimiue, “is amal
gam-quicksilver and gold and Bilver. We
pnt that in red hot retorts. > he quick
silver passes off in vapor, is caught and pre
cipitated, and the bnllion comes out in a
blackened but solid mass. Now come
down to the redoing room and I’ll show
you something. D'ye ever see how silver
spreads when you drop it? I can't do this
as well as l‘d like to, for there's too much
gold; this stuff rnua forty-dve per cent,
gold, and it's too heavy to work as I'd
like it."
Senator Fair led the way to a room in a
brick building adjacent, where two great
't“lrcind and the fences, u me ouuo Clddt0[1 s weta foiling and bubbling,
t^j^i gaiety would, in conjunction ,.Th er e’g half a million in eaoh of those,’’

•Johnny, clear this iron
table, and get me two blocks of ice.”
The ice whs brought, and the blocks were
placed a foot apart on the iron bed. When
all was chilled Mr. Fair said: “Give me a
fifty-ounce Indie.” The latter was dipped
into one of the caldrons and came up with
a pint of white molten fluid. “Now
wfitf.h,” mid Mr. Fair. He held it up as
high as his arms would reach, and dropped
it on the cold slab between the cakes of
ice. He dropped it in Rplatches of little
more than a tablespoouful eaoh. The
effect was marvellous. As the liquid
silver and gold fell its weight scattered it
into ten thousand inconceivable shapes, and
the cold chill so suddenly applied congealed
it into a hundred thousand inconceivable
shapes in an instant. There were splatters
and spiatches and all kinds ot ibiugr.
Savannah, February 7.—Judge SpeerLad
rather an unusual ca«6 in the United States
Court to-day, the defendant not knowing
whether to plead guilty or not guilty. 0.
J. Dell, of Ty-Ty, Worth county, was
charged with having retailed spirituons
liquor without having paid the revenue tax.
He admitted having sold what theDw called
spirituous liquors, but what he called
cherry bitters. Witnesses swore that they
had got drunk from drinking the stuff.
While it did not taste like whisky it had
the same effect. Drll stated that he got the
bitters from an agent of Dr. Harter, of St.
Louis, and that the ag*3nt told him that ho
could sell it as a beverage without
paying the revenue tax, and without
being liable for it. He had also
sold it openly, and Deputy Collector
Morrison told Him that be did not think it
was a violation of tho law to sell it without
paying the tax. Dell was acquitted.
There are dozens of just such cases betnj
worked up, ana agents of meiicine ant
bitters companies are flooding the country
with their stuff, assuring dealers that it can
be sold without paying any revenue tax.
Judgments were rendered in the Superior
Court to*day against W. H Ferguson &Go.,
contractors on tho Savannah, Dublin and
Western railroad, for over $20,000, in favor
of' Sub-contractors Hogan, Screven and
Samuel McPricohard.
General Superintendent Belknap, of the
Central railroad, took charge of the road

letter was to-day sent to Speaker Carlisle:
Washington, February 8.—Hon John G.
Carlisle, Speaker of the Honse of Repre
sentative-Dear Sir: We regret exce«dingly
that you oould not see your way dear to

•Treasury Department. Tho principal ob-
ject in making duties specific where they
are now ad valorem is to prevent dect ption
and dishonesty practii I by undervalu
ation, and whilo, tn fixing what is deemed
fair specifio ' quivalcnti, an
apparent increase may arise, it
is believed to be apparent oily
and not real. However, on all these mat
ters, inasmuch as the propmel bill is not
intended to be a revi-ion of the tariff, bnta
bill for a redaction of the revennes and tho
correction of certain inequalities only, wo
think there will be no difiiculty in agreeing
either to strike out of the bill such articles,
or to reduoe the proposed rates, so as to iu-
sure no iQorease in the actual duties in any
oase. A caretul study of the list shows, we
think, that, except as to a very few articles
you are in error in tho statement tli it the
duty is increased on certain things which

used in the arts, weiss beor, and the alter
native proposition to reduce tho tax on all
distilled spirits form ono proposition to
reduoe tho revenuo taxes. In liey of these
provisions in our bill, we propose to repeal
all statutes imposing restrictions upon tho
sale of loaf loboooo by farmers, and to
modity the lawa relating to storekeepers
and gangers nt small distilleries and the de-
strneiioa of Btills; also to modify the ad

with the question of a redaction of taxation.
The caucus ought not now to be invoked to
justify the polio, of delay and non-action in
this matter.
We eincerelv hope, with you, that some
ilan may yet be devised which will enable
he House to oonsider tho whole subject of
internal revenue reduction and revision,
in a spirit of fairness to all interests and in
accordance with the letter and spirit of tho
platform of the national Democratio party
adopted at the convention held at Chicago
in the year 1884, and we assure yon that
vre are ready to meet any of onr Democratic
associates who are prepared to treat with ns
on such basis. John L. Hendesson,

ANOTHEE LETT!* TO MB. CAB LISLE.
Washington, February 8.—There was
sent to speaker Carlisle to-day along letter,
signed by Representative* Randall, Warner,
Henley and McAdoo, in response to his
commnniealion returning the substitute
bill presented for the consideration of him-
a«lf and those holding similar views re
apecting tariff revisions. The letter says:
“Gentlemen: Tbs President at onr re
cent cm.f. r—1 representing States South,
West and V rib, were led to hope that a
way had Anally been opened fo, an agree
ment on a mciaare that eonld be generally
supported by our political friends, and we
sincerely regret, in view ot the importance
of tho adoption by this Congreaa of some
measure that wonld materially reduce the
revenues and prevent the farther sooumu-
lation of a treasury surplus, that differences
so wide aa appear in onr commnnieation
should still exist It wa* hoped that the
hasU of a compromise oould be reached
without requiring of an, one a sacrifice of
principle or of convictions entertained on
the subject of the tariff and internal taxes.
To do this, it is evident that tho** things
respecting which radical differences exist in
the minds of men must be excluded from
the bill intended as a compromise measure.
It was believed there could be tound room
inside theso limits for an agreement on a
list of articles to b* remitted to the free
lilt, as well as npon many on which the
tariff could b* reduced, thereby effecting a
material redaction in revenues without
injuring or endangering any impor
tant industry or impairing the earn
ings of labor in this conntry. It is
believed yet that each a meaanro ought to
be agreed npon and carried throngh the
Honse at this seaaion. As to items in the
by an inoreoso in the revenue nnd not it de
crease. Between th* ftxtrsmoa ot free trade
on the one hand and a prohibitory tariff Of.’
do trade on tho other, thero ere tbreo prin^
ciplos and only three, ono or the other of
which must govern when dnties
aro laid. .Theso may ho represented
by three lines: First, n horizontal line,
representing on even rato laid npon all
Import* for the purpQao of rovetine only;
next, an irrcgnlar lino representing tho
maximum revenue; nnd, third, n lino repre
senting tha differonco in theeostof prod no
tions ari-iing oat of different conditions
under which production is earned in this
nnd other oountrlsa. We aro ready to join
ln reducing the tariff on all articles that era
above the lino of diiuronce ln coat of pro
duction and other things on which tho rate
of daty la now above tbnt line, thus permit
ting monopolies to arbitrarily raise piici-s to
ihe consumer without bineflting labor.
We think it bu imperative duty of Congress
to so reduoe the tanff as to preventthe pos
sibility of monopoly combination 1 to pnt
up prioea above tho competing point.
Respecting your proposition to submit tha
measure proposed by us to the caucus of our
political It ends, “all parties to he bound
by tho sotioa it may tako npon the subjects
to which the hill relates,'' is one, it stoma
to ns, that ought not to bo n qiu-slion ot
political faith. It la not a party question,
for Repnblioans differ on it as well an
Democrats. Ws submit that >1 1- not right
to attempt to bind men by caucus action
on such questions, nnd thereby not only
to take from them their right and doty to
sot in accordance with their own conviot
Uons, bnt to compel them to net contrary
to their obligations as faithful representa
tives of the peoplo who havo sent them
here. These, too, are very Important mut
ters, respecting which we are ready to effect
a compromise. - In lien, therefore, of a cau
cus, we suggest that a committee composed
of members representing tho different
8 bases of the question Involved
1 the two meunres under disens-
aion ahonid be appointed to tako np
these differences iu n spirit of fmirnena,
with a view to oomlng together on a mess-
are. We urge the suggestion of a confer-
enoe moro because many of the gentlemen
acting with ns in the matter of internal
taxes, do not egree on all matters pertain
ing to the tariff.
In acoordane* with yonr fourth
■uggeaUon, that in case no further
arrangement is arrived at, npon reaionable
notice, a motion bo made to go into com
mittee of the whole on the bill introduced
by Mr. Randall, we have to say, that' due
notiee ahonid be Riven that it may general
ly bo known. We cannot, however, close
this communication without expressing
again the hope that an agreement on a
measure which our other friends can gener
ally support ia not yet impossible.
