THE NEVADA EARTHQUAKE.

Our dispatches yesterday morning gave
some facts about the earthquake shock in
Nevada. We give additional details this
morning. 1t seems from reports that
stage passengers report several assures,
miles in length, fifty to two hundred
yards wide and twenty deep, opened along
the eastern base of the Sierra Nevada.
Near Big Pine camp and other places in
the vicinity, the ground is heaved up in
great ridges. Large springs stopped run
ming and others broke out.
Heavy snOw-slides occurred in the Ser
ras, and large rocks rolled down the noun
tain-sides, blocking up the stage road.
The shocks lasted at intervals from go to
$50 AM At Aurora, Nevada, no damage
was done; and at Belmount, Nevada, only
a mill machine was thrown down.

4" GERRYMANDER.' -

The term Gerrymander " has come
into pretty general Use in the newspapers
and Legislative discussions in this State
within the past fortnight. Some of our
readers may not know precisely how the
word originated, though they are well
posted as to its meaning. 1t signifies a
defining of the boundaries between dis
tricts so as to secure to the party in power
larger share of representatives than its
numbers are fairly entitled to. Thus, in
gerrymandering the State of Tennessee, the
object has been to deprive seventy-five
thousand Republican voters, representing
population of four hundred and fifty
thousand, Of any representation in Con-
gress. The term originated in the year
1911, in the State of Massachusetts,, when
Elbridge Gerry, well known politician,
of that day, and who afterwards became
Vice President of the United States, was

Governor of that State. The Democratic
party had just gained the ascendancy over
the Federalists, and to maintain it, and Sc
cure themselves in the possession OF the
State Government, they passed law pro-
viding for new division of the State into
Senatorial districts, and contrived that Ill
as many districts as possible the Federal
lists should be outnumbered by their oppo-
nents. All natural and customary lines
were disregarded and some parts Of the
State presented singular contortions, SINH
lar to to the boundary lines of our present
Second Congressional District. 1t is said
Gilbert Stewart, seeing in the office of
the "COJun1bi0 CertiReJ" an outline of
one of the districts i'll Essex coun-
ty, nearly encircling the rest OF the
county, added with his pencil beak to
Salisbury and claws to Salem and Marble
head, exclaiming, There! that will do
for a Salamanderu Salamander? 2" said
the editor, 81 call it a Gerry-mander."
The term came into general vogue, and
like great many other Americanisms,
has become permanent word in the lam
guage. The result of the law thus provid-
ing for Senatorial divisions was, so, 164
Democrats returned % Senators, while
81, 766 Federalists elected only II. Its
passage created great excitement all over
the country, and three years after, in 1914,
it was repealed. and we are told that ct the
death and burial of the monster was cele-
brated in prose and verse throughout the
country History furnishes no record OF
another such monstrous contortion of
boundary lines from that day to the passage
of the present Apportionment bill in the
Tennessee Legislature. The Second Con-
gressional District affords a striking par
alIel to the original " Gerrymander."

The Columbia Herald speaks out bold
~ against the special effort to legislate
Horace Maynard out of Congress. II
doesn't love Maynard, but it has some re-
spectf for principle. 1t says:
4 few Democrats i'll the Legislature admitted
that this extraordinary District was cut out to
defeat Horace Maynard. No ancient culprit
ever prayed more earnestly to be rid of "the
body of this death" than we do to have our
State released from the CIRCUMFERENCE of the
" Narragansett who labors only for his native
State, Massachusetts, but at the same time We
trust that our Legislature will not lower the
dignity of the State by legislating to defeat
the same thing whenever they have the power;
our opposition to them is because they Scruple
not to do anything in behalf of their party.

RIA lle;g, q watst OIAr Niakaru.

Another elemsht in the problem OF NiagkfA's
age Is the flow Of water. To construct a scale
from the present and apply 1t to the past We
Ahould know that the amount Of water in the
past ages has been essentially the same as now.
About $500 cubic miles Of water. nearly half
the fresh water on the globe, are in the upper
lakes, and $4,000, 900 cubic feet Of this plunge
over Niagara Falls every minute, all the water
of the lakes making the circuit Of the falls the
St. Lawrence, the ocean, vapor, rain, and lakes
again in 152 years.
Through the Illinois canal about 5000 clbic
feet OF water are taken every minute from Lake
Michigan to the Illinois river; through the Well
land canal IA, 900 cubic feet how every minute
from Lake Erie into Lake Ontario, and through
the Erie canal 80, 600 cubic feet pass every min
ute from the same lake into the Hudson. Thus
| 50, 900 cubic feet OF water which nature would
give TO Niagara are diverted every minute by
artificial channels, some into the Mexican gulf
and some into the bay Of New York. Add this
| TO Is, ,000,0 900, it is drop in the bucket, and
would make no apprecible difference in the cha
| racter of the falls or their rate of recession.
