Gun FossII.-Frank Tilford, a fos-
SLICED old Democrat and oflcc-holder

seven years past, "spose a piece" at

this coast. taking an active part with others,
many Of whom have since won laurcls in the
legislative halls Of the nation and on the
battle. fields Of the Republic, sighting in de-
tense Of the flag.
This ia about the best thing, In the
shape Of brazen impudence, that we
have heard, as coming from a regular
secesh-sympafhizing Copperhead DEM
ocrat. in this State, for a year past. If
the people didn't know that all the
sympathy the speaker has had for ten
wears past had been bestowed OH the
rebels and their "L.ost Cause" the re-
marks might be taken as emanating
from some young political stripping,
just starting out OIL his first office
seeking and voting tour. That Tilford
is getting old and seedy. We will re-
publish his grand p%eroration, as first
spoken by a noted Western politician
thirty-fve years ago. Here 1t is:
He concluded by advising the young Dem
ocracy to sustain Democratic principles,
hate snakes. drink good whisky, and kiss all

The Republican party has failed in
many things. Corrupt men have been
placed in power; ignorance has been
rewarded; wrongs have been COM
mitted, to such an extent that the poo
pie are in an agony Of torture, and
blush for the errors Of those In power.
Still; Democratic rule Is not the pana-
cea for the political disease that now
prostrates the people in the dust OF
humility and shame. Democratic rule
will but add other ills, more unbear-
able than those we now endure. An
outraged and suffering. though an In
telligent and powerful people, must
arouse and defy the leaders Of party
faction assert the rights Of the people,
and bid party men retire from public
life.-White Pine Nens.
We lndorss these sentiments without
hesitation but the Republican party,
as a party, and not a new one, Is the
most effectual medium to remedy the
evils which exist. We trust brother
Forbes will keep on tho right track
for we can assure him that his "new'
party" movement is not popular In
Western Nevada.

THE SAN DIEGO MINES

Los ANGELES, March %. The
steamer Senator arrived at San Pedro
this morning and brought back a few
Of the gold hunters, and a number
counts from the mines on the whole
arc unfavorable. A few tons Of good
rock have been taken out, and there
may be some leads already discovered
that will prove rich but 1t will take
capital to develop any Of them, and
there appears now to be no justifiable
cause for any rush to the new district,
or much chance for men of no means.
The excitement near San Diego Is said
to-be rapidly effervescing. At the
mines there Is rainy and cold, stormy
weather, with scarce any shelter; this
has made prospecting slow work, and
soon a large number will return to
San Diego. The stage lines from Los
Angeles have probably made their last
trip to the mines, and will haul off
on their return.

EMGnNrroS.-Thc subject of emil
grafton is one Of ever-increasing inn
portance, not only abroad but In this
country. There was lately presented
10 the Home Office of England a petit
ton bearing the signatures Of over one
hundred and four thousand skilled
laborers, who prayed that the Govern
ment would grant them assistance to
emigrate. They desired, however, to
70 TO the British Colonies, and it Is
safe.to say that where one Englishman
IS willing to emigrate to the Colonies
there are three anxious to come to the
United States. In 1859 more than
three hundred and fifty thousand souls
took up their homes In this country
from among the population of the Old
World, and 1t is said that the emigra-
ton authorities bear uniform testimony
TO the superiority, as regards intelli-
gence ard responsibility, of the emil
grants of the last few years to those Of
previous periods. The ceding a new
term, are always open to conviction.

SECRETARY FISH Is opposed to Con-
gress taking any action whatever In
the Cuban revolution. The Secretary
praises spain very highly. and strongly
hints at negotiations now pending be
tween that government and our own,
by which the whole question at issue
will be most satisfactorily answered.
Diplomatic reasons, of course, prevent
Mr.. Fish from making the nature OF
the pending negotiations public. If,
however, they are to lead to u conclu-
sion satisfactory to all concerned, they
must bring about Cuban independence,
conciliate Spanish pride and stubborn
ness and take no money from the
United States Treasury. How all this
is to be accomplished it is difficult to
imagine, but diplomacy is 4 potent and
wonderful power.
