pull the republican party through a fifth
term of four years, he will be immeasurably
the abliest politician in this country.

monarchy is a limited monarchy in its very

prosperity and leads TO ruin.
This limited monarchy admits of
the existence of two chambers,
one nominated by the king, and the other
elected by the nation, according to legally
established suffrage. The union of the peo-
pie and the king enabled the ancient mon

THE BRUSsFLL CoNGREss-THE PART ENG
LAND WILL TAKE-THE CROWN PRINCE OF
GERMANY-PARLIANIENT ELECTION.
LONDON, June 3.-In the House of Lords
tonight the Earl of Denhigh asked whether
England was to be represented in the Brus-
sell congress. He said the papers relating
to it had an underhand appearance. The
programme of the so-called Universal Soci-
ETY. indicated that it was primarily designed
to promote humanity, particularly in rela-
ton to the treatment of prisoners of war.
1t now appeared that the Emperor of Rus
sia fathered the whole affair. The pro-
gramme contained articles dealing with
every contingency of war. Some of the
proposed rules might cripple our naval ac-
ton. The Earl of Derby. secretary Of state
for the foreign Department. replied that the
feeling of uneasiness was not at all
unnatural or unfounded, and he
was g6ath,1S glad of the d,sSaP opportunity tho
British government had deferred its answer
to the invitation to participate in the con-
gress until the last moment. 1t had given
no particular encouragement to the pro-
ject, but as all the great European powers
had consented to take part in congress
which aimed at the mitigation of suffering, it
was Thought that an absolute and uneondi-
tional refusal would be liable TO misrepre-
ssntation, and the government had,
therefore, decided to accept the
invitation, stpulating that England
was not to be required TO discuss rules of in
ternational law governing the relations of
belligerents, or to undertake any new en-
gagements in regard 20 the general prinei-
ciples. The scope of the congress did not
include matters relating to maritime war
fare. England would not send representa-
tive unless she was distinctly assured on
these points, ard especially on the last. In
any case, her representative would cot be
empowered to consent to the adoption OF
any new rules.

SUBSIDY MATTERS.

A strong attempt is being made to
manufacture political capital against DR..
Hazlett on account Of his voting for Ger.
tain railway subsidies. The fact is that
DR.. Hazlett always was and still is an
anti.subsidy man. but as in the case of
his own (Lyon) county, when his con-
stituents emphatically requested him to
support bill granting a subsidy to a
railroad company. what was he to do9
As an honorable man he had to do one
of two things: he had to obey the people
whom he was representing, or resign.
He did the former, and we and every
one else who wishes the State well, are
glad that he took that course, for by his
exertions the State was rescued from the
pecuniary embarrassments which were
threatening her. To come back, how
ever to this subsidy business. DR.. Hsz-
lett. it is said, voted for subsidies from
other counties than his own. He did so,
and at the earnest request Of the citizens

of those counties and their representa-
tives. Take. for instance, Lander
county. Here is what the Austin
Reyeille says about the matter. and the
same remarks will hold good in other
places. What the Reyeille says forms
instructive reading for those who pro-
pose to support Bradley for Governor;
DR.. Hazlett is also attacked on his
subsidy record. 1t is true he did vote
for the passage of the Austin and Battle
Mountain railroad bill, which contained
subsidy clause. The people OF Lander
county recollect that they petitioned for
the passage Of that bill; they recollect
that they wanted railroad, and that it
could not be built without a subsidy;
they were perfectly willing that the sub
sidy should be given. and in order to
guard against O possible veto, clause
was inserted in the bill requiring the
concurrence of a majority of the voters
representing three-ffths of the tax
able property Of the county, and
as the money was to come OUT
of their pockets, it i'll became
Governor Bradley to tell them tina,

know what they wanted-and that Is
lust what has created the feeling against
Governor Bradley which now exists II

that he was voting for measure which

The above extract with its heading, is
taken from the first journal in the United
States, we doubt if we should overstep
the boundaries Of truth, if we say OF the
world. The foregoing excerpt is por-
ton Of an article written with view to
deprecate the scandalous personalities,
which the more obscure members OF the
public press are so apt to indulge in dur
ing the progress of political campaign.
The Herald points out with much truth
and clearness the criminal folly Of this
vicious proceeding, showing that it is
weapon which betrays intellectual weak
ness on the part of those who use it. and
generally operates disastrously to those
in whose cause it is invoked We refel
to these observations OF the Herald, be
cause they ore peculiarly applicable t
the papers of this State and Californif
that are opposed to the election of MI
Sharon as United States Senator. Ever

umnies, absurd and ridiculous charges
that are not only destitute of truth, Blu
their falsehood is apparent on their face
II Mr.. Sharon were guilty of tenth Of
the crimes which are charged against
him, he would long since have been an
inmate of the penitentiary and deserved
ly so. Surely such vulgar species o
warfare and the use Of such disgusting
weapons is unworthy of the occasion
which is the election of the most import
ant officer, that is within the control O
the people of the State. Does it not il
beft the dignity of this proceeding to as
sail a prominent candidate with the mos
venomous and causeless vituperation
that the most scurrilous and rockies
mind could conceive and hand lndlte. i
certainly does; yet the friends of MI
Sharon can, even from this filthy food c
foul invective, draw this comfort and it
no small one. That while abuse an
