The officers OF the antelope bring interesting lu-

respecting the Franklin expedition. Mr.. Hall has
IN his possession gold watch, some silver spoons
and other relcs supposed to have belonged 10 the
Franklin party. He also learned that the remains
OF some Of Franklin's men were lying under boat
IN Committee Bay, where they had been placed by
the natives after death The natives would not per-

vessels will winter in RepuIse Bav, 1t is believed Mr.
Hall will secure assistance and push his way TO

Death of Jared SHARKS.

The death of Jared Sparks, the emin-
ent American historian and former Presi.
dent of Harvard College, took place at
Cambridge, Mass, on wednesday, March
Ii. lie was born at Wellington, Conn,
May 10, 1889. He entered Harvard
College in 1911, graduated in 1915,
studied theology in Cambridge was tutor
Of the College two years and was ordain-
ed pastor of the Unitarian Church in
Baltimore in 1919. While he was in
Baltimore he published several works,
mostly on religious subjects. Afterwards
he published Washington's writings with
the life of the writer, twelve volumes.
diplomatic Correspondence of the
American Revolution" "Lifc of Gouver-
neur Norris" "Works Of Benjamin
Franklin" ten volumes, "Library Of
American Biography" twenty-five vol
umes, and some other works of less note.
He was professor of history in Harvard
College from 1889 to 1S4o. president OF
that institution rom 1884, to 1852. Ills
personal appearance and ability are forci.
bly, described in the following quotation
from the N. Y. Tribune:
"Mr. Sparks was a man of attractive
and imposing personal appearance. His
keen black eye, dark complexion, classical
mouth, and erect figure gave the impress
sion of distinguished manly beauty. His
manner were simple and unaffected, his
native frankness and good humor amply
atoning for want of artificial grace. In
point Of intellect his qualities were not
snowy or captivating, but substantial,
sound, and worthy of the highest trust.
His aptitude for literary labor was such
as is rarely found among scholars Of the
present day. He was patient Of research,
and though nothing of a book-worm, was
never weary Of exploring archives, CON-
pairing authorities, and collecting docu-
ments. His style was like himself, plain,
solid, direct, and vigorous. He was
sometimes betrayed into the use of fgur-
alive expression, to which he was not natur-
ally inclined, but this was an exception to
his prevailing manner, which was rather
that of utility, than Of rhetorical orna-
ment. His contributions to the materials
Of American history can scarcely be rated
at o high a value, although he has lett
no original work which will be ranked AS
a classical production"

which has not some tale of crime Of this
character to unfold. Many who have
always been esteemed good, ~law-abiding
citizens seem TO have left the straight
course Of honesty and dabbie in the petty
deceit which sooner or later ends in max.
ing rogues. A gallon of whiskey, a box
OF cigars, clothes, or in fact, any little
contemplate evasion of laws by which a
penny or two may be gained, is greedily
snatched at. 1t is a small temptation for
a man to violate the laws of his country
when he may make but little at best and
may stand a fair chance of rest ing his
precious carcass in Jail for a day or two
with the prospect of paying a fine ten
times the amount that might be made, or
even required, for the goods if they were
procured honestly. 1t is no excuse that
we have an unjust tariff-if it is unjust.
1t is a law made by the authority of the
land, and all Americans are in duty bound
to respect it. Smuggling carries with it
the aninus Of rebellion. 1t is easy to
fancy every law burdensomc and unjust if
we wish to make it SO as a cloak for
iniquity. The breaking of one law paves
the way for breaking more, until no law
IS respected, and the moral lone of COM
munity becomes SO lowered as to wink at
almost every species of petty law breaking.
Another consideration is that the govern
ment needs all its revenues and he who
will seek for every little excuse to squirm
and wriggle out of allowing it its honest
dues is neither patriotic nor honorable.
If the laws are oppressive elect officers
who will remodel them, but while you
have the laws obey them. J.

The Civil Rights Bill.

This bill originated in the Senate, was
passed by a large majority and sent to
the House for concurrence Here it was
amended in some unimportant particulars
and passed by a large majority. All the
republicans voted for it except Mr.. Bing-
ham of Ohio Oh the ground of its uncon-
S|titutionality and the leading border state
men, Blow of Missouri, Smith of Ken
lucky and Latham of West Virginia.
Mr.. Raymond Of New York had not
found out the opinion of the President
and accordingly had failed tn form an
opinion as to its merits, and refused to
vote. The bill as amended was returned
to the Senate and passed with little dis
cu.sion. The first section is as follows :
THAT all persons born in the United
State, and not subject to any foreign pow
er, including Indians not taxed, are here
by declared to be citizens of the United
States, and such citizens of every race
and color, without regard to any previous
condition Of slavery or Involuntary servi-
tude, except as a punishment for crime
whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted, shall have the same right to
make and enforce contracts, to sue, be
parties, and give evidence, to inherit,
purchase, lease, sell, hold and convey real
and personal property, and to full and
equal benefit of all laws and proceedings
for the security of person and property,
as is enjoyed by white citizens, and shall
be subject to like punishment pains and
penalties, and to non other, any law,
statute, ordinance, regulation or custom
to the contrary Notwithstanding"
This makes null and void all caste leg
is!ation in any state and ths remaining
sections of the bill merely provide methods
for enforcing the first section.
A law Of this kind Is absolutely neces.
sary to the protection Of the negroes in
the present anomalous condition OF the

10 revolrionize the whole system Of stock
operations. We have a stock here that
Is so guaranteed against loss or deprecia-
tion chat it must always be at par. 1t
can never depreciate. 1t must advance,
for it represents the largest estate owned
by any one company in the Oil Region
including the beautiful and thriving town
of Reno-tour miles of boring territory
absolutely owned, and the largest working
fund of any Petroleum company. The
intention OF the managers is TO make Pc
troleum q business and not a speculation.
The officers and directors are well known
over the country for their enterprise,
energy and integrity. When such men
take hold of Petroleum we may well
believe it is no longer a speculation, a
wild adventure, a mere gambling enter
Prise but a business MS safe and sure as
the mining of Gold and Iron, and Silver.
We recognize in Reno the beginning of a
National retorm,-and commend it to
general approval.
