The White Pine Reaction.
From Tho San Trancisco Chronicle. June 1.


The first flush Of the White Pine excite
ment has died out. Thegrand rush for the
new Silverado has exhausted ITSELF and the
reaction has set in. Extremes meet. From
one extreme we rebound to the other. In
bending the crooked stick straight we
croolSt the other way. A little while ago
White Pine was the riches mining district
in the whole hibitable globe, and every one
who started for the new mining region was
in the sure way Of realizing sure fortune.
Now White Pine seems TO be in the voca-
tive, and there arc few who feels disposed
TO invest But so far as the factsare known
there seems TO be no good ground for
this reaction. In fact, White Pine is doing
maryelously well. With only seven mills in
operation, running altogether about fifty
stamps, an enormous tamount OF silver il
forwarded from White Pine. Heretofore
the mills have charged the enormous ratio
Of $50 per ton for crushing ore. They have
now come down TO $25. This reduction
will lend to increase the amount OF silver
produced inasmuch as many miners, who
''struck paying ore, [" have suspended oper-
tions until tho prices ofcrushing ore should
come down. Others having satisfied them
selves that they had o good mine, waited
for an opportunity to sell IL in preference
70 working IT, These are circumstances
that have helpedto produce q reaction in
regard to White Pine. But meantime, the
amount Of ore received from that quarter
clearly proves that though the richness Of
the mines may have been exaggerated at
one time, the present tendency iB TO under
rate rather than overate them. f

Fearful Accidental Wandering Ped.
dler Scalped.
From the Dubuque Times.

Quite fearful railroad accident, and
one that was calculated at the moment to
freeze the blood in the veins of all behold
ers transpired short distance the other
side Of the Cascade bridge, yesterday. AS
Conductor George Myers was pulling out
his train, the engineer noticed but short
distance ahead an old man walking on the
track reeling and lurching like duck in o
gale showing that he was under the in
fluence OF Confer Grove benzine. In vain
the engineer whistled for brakes; it was
found impossible to check the train in
time; and there seemed no way to avert
the horrible catastrophe of mans being
run over and killed. Just before the en-
gne reached him, however, the victim
looked round, and comprehending the sit
uation at a glance, the terror sobered him.
Luckily, beneath the very spot where he
stood was small trench beneath the road
bed, which had been left to take off the
water. Into this the man dropped, and
the next instant the train was upon and
overhim He was injured somewhat though,
as the cow-catcher, in passing, struck him
on the back of the head and tore off
the scalp to the bone, lifting the hair as
nicely as the job could be performed by a
Pawnee Indian. In this trench he remain
ed until the whole train had thundered over
him, and when Conductor Myers came
running back sick at heart and expecting
to gaze upon his mangled body, he blurted
out few words Of defiance. and intimated
that if hereafter the railroad company we're
not more careful with their old steam wag-
on he should sue them for damages. The
man who was thus run over responded to
the name Of Scott, and is sort Of wander
ing timer by profession, and is well known
in this city. It seems that he was never
Dor to be slaughtered on q railroad, but
he ha d a narrow escape at all events.

What the People Want.

No great public want can long remain
unanswered When a condition of things
has become developed so that great pub
lie want is realized, either in theology, civil
government or physics, that very want or
demand is sure to create n supply The
hour will create the man, and the need the
thing. Witness the sewing machine, the
reaper, the telegraph. There may be sew
erai abortions. Many may run before they
are sent, but ultimately humanity will
triumph, and the want be supplied.
1t cannot be that medicine will long re-
main what it has been-a mass of intrica-
cies, of which they who know most know
little, while the confident pretender is sure
to be knave. Nor will it be always sys-
TEN so intricate and obscure that only the
priests of the temple can speak its Ian
guage or interpret its symbols; or an oracle
so equivocal that he who consults the priest
fares as i'll or worse than he who abjures
the temple altogether. There must ere
long be system that comes down to the
wants of humanity in every day life-that
meets the wants of the mother at her
cradle, the nurse at the bedside, the father
on his journey, or the sailor on the sea-
some thing or some system that everybody
can have and everybody can use, to arrest
the first invasion of disease, and to restore
the ruddy current of life ere it's fountains
are vitiated and its forces undermined.
Old school medicine, with its crude drug
poisons, can never meet this want. That
is game long since played out, q thing
we'll understood. Equally futile the vaunt-
ed panaceas and elixirs which ig-
norance has begotten and folly pa
tronized. The water-cure can never be
more than doubtful expedient or useful
palativein the hands OF the people. Nor
can the usual form of Homeopathy, how
ever large its domestic manual, or COM
plete its assortment of tinctures and pei
lets, be more than an amusing pastime in
the hands Of the people. The system was
never designed for such use, and can never
fill such place.
But it is contended that HUMPHREYs sys-
tenn of Specific Homeopathy does meet
this want. In small neat case are COM
prised some thirty Specific Remedies for all
the more common complaints to which
family are subject, and the whcle are 80 ar
ranged and simphfed that any person of
ordinary intelligence can successfully ap-
ply them.
They are free from danger or intricacy and
according to the testimony of thousands
who use them, entirely successful. Why
then may not this great problem be consid-
cred as solved, and that here is system
that does meet the wants Of our common
humanity in everyday life--the great pop
ulhr system of medication for the relief of
the people and adapted to their wants.
Surely nothing can be more hamless than
these Sugar Pills, nothing more convenient
or successful than these SPECIFICS.

The republicans during every political
campaign make great pretensions Of love
for the soldier. Their professions are for
gotten as soon as the election is over. One
OF the recent demonstrations of this kind
has been the removal of soldiers employed
in one of the departments at Washington
and the retension OF those who never saw q
battlefield, but remained at home, shout
ing "copperhead" and drawing their pay
from the government, What is now taking
place in Washington has been the course Of
action all over the country ever since Grant
came into office. Veteran and even disa-
bledsoldiers are forced to give way for the
stay-at-home politicians.

EXACTLY THE DIFFERENCE. Previous to
the adjournment of congress, Gen. Morgan
q democratic member from Ohio, offered q
resolution in the house of representatives
exempting salt tea, coffee, sugar, matches
and tobacco from all federal taxation, and
imposing instead thereof, tax of two and
one-half per cent on government bonds,
which Just proposition was laid on the
table, and thereby defeated bya vote of
14O to 40, every republican congressman
voting to lay on the table and against the
resolution while the party who voted to aus-
tain the resolution were all democrats.
This is fair illustration of the
sort of protection offered the la
boring classes by the republican
leaders. Tax the necessaries of life, which
every laboring man must buy and exempt
government bonds, which only the rich
own.

"WHo 1s the Godfather of the republican

"WHo Is the Godfather of the republican

The New York Sun thinks that Schuyler
Colfax's chances for the presidency are
good, for there are probably more babies
named after him than any other living man
in the world, and though they will hardly
grow up in season to vote for him the first
time he runs, their fathers, and uncles, and
cousins, and the sweethearts oftheir sisters
will be sure to 60 for him. 1t advises Mr..
Colfax, ifhe desires the Sun to shine for
him, to secure the services Of Horace Gree
ley for vice president, and adds: "For
years we have been devoted to the elevation
If Mr. Greeley to some Office worthy of his
genius and character. So, far our success
has not been great, we are sorry to say;b but
that is Mr.. Grants fault."

The navy department, some time ago,
ordered tho Saugus to 60 to Cuba. The
vessel hauled out of the dock and was
found to be so defective that sailing was
impossible Several other war vessels have
been orderedto Cuba, and, in every case,
it was found that the hulls were rotten, or
that their machinery was useless. The de-
partment has been trying for two months
to send vessel to Cuba, and has failed in
every effort. All of which shows the beau
ty of the naval administration with which
the country has been afflicted for several
years. At the present moment, we have q
larger navy on paper than on any civilized
power while in fact, our naval efficiency
ranks at least tenth rate.

w
The Brooklyn Eagle, after taking it for
granted that "New Years day will preba-
bly, see the (fifteenth) amendment part
ofthe Constitution" continues and says:
"With this the object with which the Re-
publican party started out will have been
accomplished to degree beyond what the
mostaboiitionist, who reluctantly consented
to support so pro-slayery an institution as
he conceived It, dared to anticipate would
be done ina century, even on his platform.
There will be absolutely nothing more on
that line for the Republican party to per-
form. lit must strike q new line. What
shall itbeP Hitherto the party has evaded
this question, has raised dust of side is
sues and temporary shifts, and is even now
hunting for sensations to hide its lack of
comprehensive policy for the future. Side
issues, and temporary shifts, and sensation
will not answer. The party must give o sub.
stantial excuse for claiming the continued
confidence of the people or must go down.
There are any number of measures of essen
tial Importance Of which it may take hold
and build platforms ofstrength, OF it may let
them alone and die Of inertness and the
corruption that inertness accelerates. The
tune when the decision must be made
which will determine its late is not lar dis
tant."
If the republican party had had the sense
to see it, the purpose for which it camelnto
existence, as its orators and writer's in its
early years announced would be the case,
was accomplished in the abolition OF Afri-
can slavery, and it should then have dis
banded. Had t done so it would have oc-
cupied place in the pages of history a
thousand times more reputable than it pos
sibly can now. Since its chief object was
attained, it has taken to path Of lawless-
ness, deceit, and political crime which has
stained it with ineffaceable disgrace. On
the nature of its original principles it was
transient, temporary thing at best. II
should have known, acknowledged shis
truth, acted accordingly and then we would
not find it to-day, asa radical journal con-
fesses, in order to keep itself from going
