NARROW GAUGE RAILROADS.

There can be no doubt that the
narrow gauge system of railroad viii
be very extensively used in different
parts Of the country. The subject
is I that is elicitinS much atten-
ton, and the arguments, SO far rs
many districts are concerned, are all
il tavorof this system. The elabor-
ate report Of the committee aD-
no:nted by the late st. Louis conven-
tion to report upon 1.-THE peculiar
merits and advantages of the narrow
euage railway SYSTEM" concludes
their review OF its advantages in the
following terms:
y. Costing only about one-lalf as
rucl is the broad gauge, it is with
il the means of all sections to bald
them : hence Will enable them to
avail themselves of railway facilities
whore otherwise they will be com
PEELED to dispense with them.
,. From their small cost. light
operating expenses, and small inter-
e5s account, they Will prove to be
paving investments.
3. They will supply the great want
Of the age, cheap transportation.
/. CheapeninSt transportation they
will develop dormant interests more
rapidly than our present costly
structures. with their highrates, can
possibly DO.
.. Their general adoption il sec
tons without railway facilities will
enhance the value Of properties
largely in excess OF their cost.
6. Penetrating those sections, and
rapidly developing their resources
by low rates, they will bring a large
new business to the broad gauge
roads. enabling them to reduce their
rates and thereby stimulate old and
develop new interests.
I. 4 failure to adopt the narrow
gauge in the sections referred to
will necessarily defer the construc-
ton of railways until such time as
their means will admit of the more
costly broad gauge with its conse,
quent high rates"

Over so, 00O, 600 was sent last year
by postal money orders. This year
the aggregate will probably run over
500, 600 900. Three hundred new
postal order Offices commenced oper-
atoms ON the LIST of July. When
this postal order system was first
proposed, precisely the same objec-
lions made to it as are now
made to the postal telegraph. All
sorts of dire results were promised
from turning Government Depart
ment into a banking shop, interior
ing with private business, etc, but
none of them lave followed, and the
postal money order system has
proved itself a great popular conve-
nience. So, too, would it be with
the postal telegraph.

release on bail. II bailed, it will
virtually be equivalent to an acquit-

a contempt for common sense.
Hereafter murder is no crime-but a
little trial, disagreement at first and
finally acquittal. The Commercial
blames the law, which allows no in
termediate verdict between murder
in the first degree and manslaughter
in the third degree. The Post says:
''We are nearing, if not already
reached, the point when the taking Of

except in the case Of vulgar burglars
who have trespassed on the rights Of

GREELEY AND BROWN RATIFICA-
TON MEETING AT EUREKA.
From the Sentinel, July IL. |

49,
Pursuant to notice, the grand
Democratic ratification meeting took
place in Eureka last night. The oc-
casion called together the largest
number of people ever assembled in
Eastern Nevada. The streets and
sidewalks were literally iammed with
people. Bonfires blazed along all of
the principal streets and on the
mountains to the eastward, and the
anvil artillery fired minute salutes.
At precisely eight o'clock, the pro-
c~ession. headed by the Eureka Brass
Band, formed at the intersection of
Bateman with Main street, and pro-
ceeded to file through Main street,
to Iron Hall, when it counter
marched and broke ranks at the
speakers stand on the public square.
There were only three hundred men
in the procession, though the num-
Der would doubtless have been much
larger had there not been some mis-
take about the point from which the
column was to move. Flags waved
from many house-tops along the line
of march. and there was also 4 liberal
display of bunting in the procession,
including the flag of Erin. The di-
vision CARRYING the red. white and
blue transparencles was voted by the
spectators to be the main feature of
the entire procession. Returning to
the stand, Judge Harmon called the
meeting to order by nominating A.
NJ. HiIlhouse, Chairman. Mr.. Hill
house opened the exercises in abrief.
but telling speech. Fred. Elliott
and B. T. Northington were chosen
Secretaries, and J. D. Sullivan, Z.
5. Cardoza. Major Mccoy. Captain
Foley, \. Z. Titus and Colonel Bell
were elected Vice Presidents. Hon.
Frank Tilford was then introduced
by the President. He was greeted
withlong and continued cheers; after
which he proceeded to speak for an
hOurand 4 half in his usual eloquent
and logical manner. We have heard
Iilford scores of times on the stump
in California and this State during
the last fifteen years. and always rec
ognized him among the ablest of Pa
citic coast orators, but last night he
surpassed all former efforts. He
was fully up TO the progressive
standard, as inaugurated by the Lib
eral movement at Cincinnati. and
clearly demonstrated why the entire
conservative element of the country
should support Greeley and Brown.
His remarks called forth rounds Of
applause. G.. W. Baker was loudly
called for and came forward and
made a very appropriate but brief
speech. He. too, was much applaud
ed. I. G. Edwards, in response to
calls, also mounted the rostrum and
dealt the Administration some heavy
blows. Judges Lansing and Hetzel
were called for in turn, but neither
Of them happened to be in the crowd.
Taken all III all, the meeting passed
off to the entire satisfaction Of all
concerned.
