THE MORMON, PROBLEM

The APPEAL and some other papers
have looked to the Pacific Railroad as
the eventual. solution of the Mormon
Problem. To be sure 1t is easy 10 dis

summary way yet there seems some
warrant for the prediction. Certain it

in the Government there will lose its

Mormon Problem is TO be " solved " by

WHITE PINE ITEMS.

We are indebted to the Pacific Union Ex-
press Company for the White Pine News Of
the 18th and Inland Empire Of the 10th inst,
We CLEAN the following from the News:
Backyard talk is so common on the
streets of Treasure City that the News de-
| mands the enforcement of the ordinance to
suppress the like.
The Kohler Mill is about being set in OPP
Grafton on ore from the Aurora.
More ore has been taken from the Eber-
hart than there is mill capacity to crush.
The "great Union Tunnel ~ has been run
abont seventy feet into the bowels of the
land. The news describes it as " one of the
handsomest Tunnels in Eastern Nevada
The White Pine Hook and Ladder Co.
have had an Annual Ball. The fremen of
the new county are gallant" of course.
From the Empire we learn that
Treasure Mill, at Hamilton is completed.
and in running order. 1t will be in read
mess for custom work by the first of next
week.
At Pearl Creek Station Frenchman was
found dead. He is supposed to have died of
heart disease.
The Empire rejoices over the reduction in
Stage fare. asserting that the conse3uen
exodus of nonproducers and buns its
proftably increased in consequence.
The Treasure Mill and Mining Company
have struck water and coal in their long
tunnel Water was what they were after.
, Judge Beatty has adjourned his Courtto
Monday, the oath inst,

around the city of Hamilton.

CONNECTICUT AND TIE FIFTEENTH
AMENDMENT.

The significance of the ratification
by the Legislature of Connecticut OF
the Fifteenth Amendment is thus al
luded to by the Washington Chronicle
The Senate of Connecticut yesterday rati-
sed the fifteenth constitutional amendment
by vote of twelve Republicans to five Dem
ccrats, two Republicans and two Democrats
being absent. The vote shows that there is
no breaking in the Republican ranks upon
this question, and 5 an assurance that the
amendment will be promptly ratified by the
ether branch Of the State Legislature. Thus
twill be seen, even conservative Connecticut
fully accepts the measure of Justice In
deed, as It was an issue in the campaign,
and as the election was carried with a full
understanding that this measure was to be
passed, the Legislature could not have failed
10 pass il without q breach of trust with the
people. The victory of the Connecticut Re-
pubiicans, won, as II was, with this distinct
understanding, shows how little real force
there was III the objectiGas urged by Demo-
cratic members of Congress against sub
hitting the amendment to Legislatures not
elected with special reference TO this cues
ton. In Connecticut, one of the most con-
servative of States, 1t was submitted directly
10 the people, and with the result we see
<14tti tH4o II" IttiliOiicdH Legislature Will
feel the slightest deiicacy in ratifying the
snendmen. merely because It's members
were elected before the measure was adopted
6y Congress. Even the fact that a State has
ance passed upon and rejected equal suf-
frage as mere State question has no weight,
as has been shown by the fact that Penn
sylvania and various other States heretofore
opposed to the political equality of the col
ored man have already ratified this amend
Iaent. This happy result is doubtless due in
some measure TO the noble and unequivocal
ground taken by President Grant in lis favor
1t being an indisputahle fact that the
nearer right any party's priucipl are
the stronger it becomes, the earnest
friends Of Eepubiicanis;n will rejoice
st the prospect of the early adoption of
;his amendment by the requisite three
fourths of The States of the Union. Since
the above appeared in the Chronicle the
lower house of the Legislature has con-
CURED in the action of the Senate.

SUNDAY TRAIN ON THE PACIFIC 4. R.
The Sacramento Union gives US the follow
ing information:
Before many weeks-perhapsd ays-elapse
a through train will leave this city on the
Central Pacific Railroad on Sundays as well
as on week days, and train will arrive with
passengers and mails from the East
every day in the week. 1t is obvious that
such al arrangement is required, as at pres
ent passengers making the trip overland are
ob iiged to lay over at some point along the
route for at least twenty four hours, and how
would some of our fas.idious Eastern Wis
itors like to be detained at place like Elko,
where whisky, Slx-shOOters and bowie knives
are so plentiful : The Jenkinses of New
York wouldn't like it, we opine. The de-
parture and arrival of trains on such days
will effect a material change in the aspect of
a Sunday in Sacramento.
There is wisdom, justice and prudence
in this contemplated arrangement. Unless
Iuday trains are run passengers and freight
would have to be stopped for twenty four
hours in the midst,of ard deserts and ia the
Of hostile Indians. There
would be as little sense in such a way of
doing as for ship to clay to" in mid-ocean
on Sunday.

THE QUEEN AND THE PoPE.-Mrs. Anna
Cora Mowatt Richie writing from London to
the San Francisco Chronicle says:
Highly exercised and scandalized have
been a number of her Majesty's subjects by
the fact of their sovereign lady, the head OF
the Protestant Church, actually sent con-
gratulations by telegraph to the "Holy
Father on his jubilee day The Daily Te!e-
graph remarks. loosely: "Can such
thing be. Is not the whole British Con-
stitution violated if the sovereign of this
realm enters into any communication with
the Pope? Has not even the telegraph
clerk incurred the penalties Of prennuaire ?

Or. McNeile, Immediately established BY

purposes of argument, we may be allowed
the expression and a MAJ who could boldly
criticise our writing, in moment Of peril
and emotion like the present, can be no
true Protestant, and is probably Jesuit in

GREELEY AND THE p. r. r. Commission
We find the following characteristic editorial
in the New York Tribune of May 9TH
Several journals having mistakenly assert
ed that Horace Greeley had accepted place
on the Commission which is about to ex-
anime and report en- the condition of the
completed Pacific Railroad, it may be proper
to say that he at no time accepted it, simply
because he cannot now leave his business in
New York. Had he time TO go, ne would
gladly do so. Since he has not, he reioices
that the President has appointed Gen. Hiram
Walbridge in his stead. Gen. Waibridge
IVES an early, advocate OF a railroad across
the continent, through the heart Of our coun-
try, having visited California in 1855: ex-
pressly to attend the first Pacific Railroad
Convention. Having since been prominent
in every effort to cheapen and extend our
internal commerce, it is fit that his name
should be honorably. identified; with the COM
pletion of the grandest enterprise of this
century. He will not be exceeded in intelli-
gent devotion to his most responsible trust.

LATEST NEWS.

We condense from the Gold Hill News Of
last evening:
The most important item is that green
backs have fallen to 71@72. This decline
is surprising one and seems unaccornta-
BILE. Internal Revenue taxes are now due ;
and if we did not know that the big opera
tors were the very ones who escape Ae pay
ment of their share of the tax, we1should
ascribe this sudden depreciation in currency
to a combination of bears to get posses
sion of legal tenders at low rates to enable
them to NEE. the requirements of the Fed
eral Collectors on the most favorable terms.
Receiving greenbacks at II cents las We be-
lieve the Revenue officers are instructed to
do) the Government is largely loser by this
decline.
Nothing particularly interesting is trans
mitted from the East hut the failure of big
German Banking firm in New York and
the announcement that Howard, recently ap-
pointed Minister to China will fail to quail
ify. No late news from Cuba.

WILL THE BLACKS DIE 0UT.-The
statement is published with evident
satisfaction by the Democratic press
that the Southern blacks are " dying
out" This, of course, is meant to con-
vey the proof that it was doing the
negroes an injury to make them, free.
Of course this is all bosh and the
editor of the Washington Star, who
was born and bred a STAKEHOLDER proves
it to be such in an article from whic b
we extract the following:
The alleged decrease of the actual number
of negroes since the war, through the loss of
| the patriarchal institution for their welfare
| land all that sort of nonsenSe), will be found
| to have amounted to no decrease whatever.
They have been better fed, better clothed,
and better housed since the war than ever
before, appreheEd. and where existing in
greater numbers have almost entirely es-
capped what was previously cause of the
annual destruction of thousands on theus-
ands of their children under one year old.
| | refer to the, practice of overworking
mothers who had infants, in cotton AID sugar
fields. l have personally known plantations
on which for sseries of years seventy five per

groes were literally murdered after that
fashion ii being the received theory OF
| profitable planting under Slavery rule that
| it was cheaper to buy able hands from the
| Eastern and Northern slave-holding States
| than to raise them"
Commenting upon the above, the
New Y ork Tribune says:
| OF course, the relative strength of the
Black element of our population must stead
lily decrease. because not reinforced by i'm
migration, as the White is. 1t mas been a
fourth it is now less than an eighth the
next census will reduce it below a tenth !;
and the child is already born who will see
it below a twentieth. We estimate that the
United States, if no further enlarged, will
have 1l0,0c0.G coo of people in 1910, and that
of these the Blacks and Fellows will h.y 1ly

Too Much INTELLIGENcE.-Says The
Marysyille Appeal:

Too MUCH lNTELLIGENCE.-Sayst the
Marysyile Appeal:
The Democratic Legislature of Ohio, at a
former session, finding that students attending
colleges and other institutions of learning in
Ohio had vicious habit of voting against
Democratic candidates, enacted a law dis
franchising them for such prehensible con-
duct Mr.. Lee, member of the House from
Delaware county, recently introduced a bill
to repeal the odious aad unjust act, which
was referred to tie Judiciary Committee.
The Democratic majority Of that Committee
reported the bill back, recommending its
indefinite pospoaement. 1t takes Demo-
cratic Legislature to make the laudable pur-
suit of Education a badge of disfranehise-
ment and disgrace. Considered party-wise
this action may be justified on the ground
that modern Democracy does not, as rule,
thrive along with education, culture. and
refinement.

It is rough on you, admit. but when

it comes without growing.
There is kind of snbdded melan-
choly about it-a regretful disappoint-
ment that it is pleasant.
How interesting it is when you have
dropped the last one off, and you get
another bite, to make up your mind to
get this one anyhow, and then to- con-
centrate oil your strength, and pull up
with violent jerk, and sling your line
back on to n tree, and have it wind
around the branches as tight as if it had
been pulled by a steam engine, and in
such ,bewildering condition that you
can't get it loose in week. @
This is calculated to make you use hard

is to have your cork drawn under gently

until it is out Of sight.

You pull up slowly, SO as to keep him

nia Railroad, and covered with mud. and
not solitary fish in the neighborhood;
while all the time there is boy, with o
pin-hoolz and IN old hank of twine, who

A man is legally entitled to relieve his
pent-up feelings, and the more so be-

finds that his fsh-hook has caught him
by the shirt, and that there is a puddle
deep enough to float canal boat Just
where he has been sitting.
Of course you can't go home without

and try to buy them of the boy, who
not only tries to insult you, by asking
you if you "ketched any?" but feels that
he has you in his power, and makes you
pay more money than you could buy out
a whole oyster-sloop for.
No; don't see any sport in it; and if
wanted to make man utterly wretch

break down his spirits, and ruin his mo-
rails, would get him" to go fishing
about once week. I approve of abo-
