English author, died In London on the
18th instant, aged 67 years. lilo was
born in the county OF Norfolk in 1905.
His mother had strong literary tastes,
and contributed greatly to the forma-
ton of her sons mind. His father
died when the future novelist was yet
young. Who has not read pelham"

The report Of the Insurance Com
missioner Of Massachusetts,, recently
presented to the Legislature, shows
the insurance losses by the great Bos-
ton fire to be S5s. 500, 900. 1t Is now
made manifest that many companies
moderated or partially concealed their
losses. On the other hand, the total
loss By the fire has been reduced by
more accurate estimates to seventy or
seventy-five millions, and 1t becomes
more and more evident that the effects
Of the calamity were greatly modified
by the wide distribution Of the losses.
Next to Massachusetts,, New York was
much the heaviest loser. The review
Of the business affairs Of Boston by the
Secretary Of the Board OF Trade, Of
which we have a synopsis, shows tina,
everything fayors a rapid recovery
from the effects Of the fire. At most II
does not set back the increase in total
wealth by as much as the accumula.
lions Of a single year.

SOME time since we expressed our
objections to the proposed renewal Of
some expiring patents on sewing ma
chimes. We have shown that a CSC
sewing machine costs but IS to the
manufacturer, ana that the rest goes
to the enrichment Of monopolists, who
long ago bought up the patents for a
mere triflc. Now We learn that the
paper ring is on hand for an extension
of the patent on all paper Into the
composition of which straw enters, to
the end that they may be able to add
about a cent q pound to the cost Of
printing paper all over the United
States. The patent referred to has
already brought an immense income,
and has long since passed out Of the
hands Of the inventors and into the
hands Of the manufacturers. As the
paper mills are all making money we
are opposed to the extension OF the
patent.

. Among the most recent as we'll as
most significant bills presented before
the Assembly at Carson Is that Of Mr..
Cole, entitled "An Act to Prevent
Bribery" Here 1t Is:
SECTION l. It shall be unlawful for
any State, County, Township or Mu-
nieipal officer, or his deputy, or any
judicial officer, or any member Of the
Legislature, or the officers, or attaches
thereof, TO receive and use any permit,
or what Is generally denominated q
..free pass" on any railroad running
In or through this State.
SEC. 2. Any such officer, or his dep
uty, receiving and using any such per-
NIT or free pass, shall be guilty Of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction Of
such offense, shall be fined In any sum
not exceeding five hundred dollars, or
imprisonment In the County Jail for
ak months, or by both such fine aud
imprisonment.
The evident design Of this bill Is a
most excellent one, intended to pre-
vent crafty railroad p%roprietors from
buying, blasting or briblng the favor Of
fail legislators by means Of free
passes. The Act, however, will not
be passed until the very last Of the
session for obvious reasons. The great
est objection We have to the Act Is that
It is not comprehensive enough. II
only secures the legislators against thu
seductive Establishments Of the railroad
folks; will not allow them to be brlbet
to favor any railroad interest, yet leaves
them totally unprotected against being
bribed to favor any other interest-th'
Senatorial for instance.
1t Is openly stated that many OF thu
members Of this Legislature were
bribed to vote for Jones as United
States Senator by the promise Of cleo
ton to the very legislative position
they now occupy. Their vote was t
be the consideration; the equivalent
Indeed, some people are mercenary

lively to bear In special cases. The
man who was sent to the Legislature
by Jones, simply to vote for Jones
has precious little honor to brag Of IL
the matter. He need not write hom'
to his friends In the Atlantic State
that he was elected by the s%pontaneou
will Of the people upon his own per
sonal popularity. No; he was elected
BY Jones, aud will be strictly required
to do his masters bidding. The people
of this State will regard the Senatorial
election tomorrow with deep Interest
Those members who do not vote foI

SENATORIAL

- L
Tomorrow our worthy legislators
at Carson are expected to decide the
momentous question, whether John P.
Jones shall be elected a. the successor
of James W. Nye. to represent the
State Of Nevada in the United States
Senate, or not. Mr.. Jones has made
o most indomitable fight for the posi-
ton, but It has been a purely moneyed
one.n not trusting to his personal popu-
larity at all; therefore, II money be
the true basis Of merit, and the majori-
ty Of the legislators are influenced by
that consideration, or feel that they
are pledged and obliged to vote for
him because they have attained to
their present influential position
through his moneyed influence. he is
liable to be elected. As to the matter
Of pledging, no mi had any moral
right to do so, therefore, are not NOR
ally bound to abide by any such venal
obligation. The people expect their
representatives to do their honest duty,
regardless Of all mercenary consldera-
tons. Having consistently opposed
Mr.. Jones throughout giving good,
tangible reasons and arguments which
his most able newspaper advocates did
not and could not refute, and also aE
fording opportunity to others to ad-
vance their objections through our col
umns as long as they RETAINED from
mere personal abuse and SANDER, no
one can accuse us Of having finched
from our duty In the matter, and Of
letting the question be totally one
sided.
Should Mr.. Jones be defeated OF the
first ballot. It will be a final defeat, for
all who have considered themselves
pledged to his support will then be
honorably absolved and free to vote for
some one who will do just as well, and
be more satisfactory to the whole
people. On the other hand, should Mr..
Jones succeed in procuring his elec-
ton, we will endeavor to forget the
means. and, void Of all personal hos
tility, hope for the best, following him
critically and fairly in hts Congress
sional career, ready to condemn any
possible official misdoings on his part,
yet just as cheertully according to him
his full need Of approval and conf
mendation for whatever he may do to
advance the true interests Of our State,
With these few deflnitive remarks We
again remind the assembled legislative
representatives at Carson Of their hon
est duty in this important matter. See
that you send a nal who will honor
your choice /; n man Of sound personal
integrity, OF i~ncorruptible rectitude,
ever faithful and true to his promises,
his friends, and the best interests o.
this young, rich and flourishing State
he Is expected to fifty and most credit.
ably represent during the next six
years.

A Conductor Robbed OF HIS Watch ON
His Car.
city railroad conductor Is, as q general thing,
one Of the sharpest customers that can be met
with IN this city, not excepting hack driver. and
probably the knowledge OF this fact will
sufficiently explain to some obtuse minded
people why 1t is that conductors arc
very rarely interfered with while in their cars BY
thieves and pickpockets. An exception occurred
last Sunday, when M. d. Gardner, conductor of car
1l6 of the Third avenue line, was relieved of his
watch while passing through his Car, from one end
to the other, in the neighbOrhood or Elghty-sixth
street. The thief fed on being detected, pursued
by the conductor who overlook him after Q sharp
chase, and gave him into the CUSTODY Of Ofacer
Barrett, OF the Twenty third precinct. He gave his
name as Charles Bentry and was held for trial in
default OF $1,000 by Justice Coulter.
