THE SITUATION IN EsxERALpA.-A


the political situation in Esmeralda
County: "The coming Presidential cam
paign is going to be a very closely con
tested one between US and the Cops. for
the reason that in the Silver Peak and
Palmetto mines they are discharging
Union men and putting Irishmen in

is not the only case on record, by any
means, indeed similar deaths occurring
more frequently than the people gen.
orally suppose, we would call the
attention Of our readers to the Eastern
telegraphic dispatches Of yesterday,
where it is stated that on the Sd inst
only last undergraduates Q. Halpine
-"Private Miles 0'Reilly died from
the effects ofchloroform administered to
relieve neuralgia on the brain. 1t is
only some six weeks ago that a patient
died similarly under the hands OF DR..
Toland Of San Francisco. Chloroform
i, o very valuable and useful agent in
surgery, but scores Of cases where il
has been administered with fatal re-
suits, admonish us that it is not always
perfectly safe, even when it is admins
tered by the most experienced medical
practitioners.
