SENATOR JoNEs.-Under date of
San Francisco, October 9th, the Sen
ator from Nevada addresses the Sec
rotary of the Republican State Cen
trail Committee letter, regretting
that private business matters kept
him from attending the ratification
meeting on Saturday night last, at
which he was announced to speak.
We have room for the closing par
agraph only:
Political power can only be secur-
ed by adherence to political organ
ization. Loyalty to organization is
therefore practically quite as impor-
tant as loyalty to principle. Upon
all who favor the rights of labor and
oppose the exactions of the railroad
corporations. l cannot too strongly
impress the necessity of supporting
the entire Republican State and
County ticket. To secure a Repub-
iiean delegation in both Houses pi
Congress is Of the very greatest i'm
portance. To obtain all this we
should be willing to sink all per-
sonal differences and heal all per-
sonai antagonisms. / predict for
the entire Republican ticket at the
coming election a complete victory;
but let US not be content with that;
let US make it also an Overwhelming
victory-a victory for honest gov
ernment over selfish schemes anC
schemers-s victory for the people
over those who would disregard
their rights. Very truly, yours,
JOHN p. JONES.

SILVER CITY, Oct. IL, 1874.
EDITOR TIMEs:-My last commu.
nication was devoted to the merits
and dement's of the candidate for
the State Senate on the above named
ticket. T dealt very gently with
him, vet it seems have very inno-
Gently touched the sore spot. l will
dismiss him by simply reminding
the workingmen OF Lyon county
that while be was Foreman of the
Hope mine he ,0oS in fdvOr Of re-
ducing pdgeS, and that, in converse
ton with several prominent citizens,
he spoke in favor of reduction on
the ground that wages were entirely
too high. Let him pass!
Mr.. Aaron Powell, one of the can
didates for the Assembly. is a citizen
of this town-a large man, a good
man, an honest man no doubt, for
he said in my presence, about two
months ago, that he would not vote
for L. r. Bradley for Governor.
Worse men have been elected to
office, and better men have not.
j. K. Johnston, Sutro candidate
for the Assembly, belongs to Sutro
body and soul; that is, all but what
belongs to the Southern Confederacy.
When he was appointed a Deputy
Postmaster at Sutro. under Post
master Tiddy, he could not take the
oath of Office until the portion of the
oath which refers to % defending the
Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign or do
mestlc," was stricken out. He is a
man of very Incorporate habits,
and when under the influence of
LIQUOR boasts of his secession princi-
ples-the same now as during the
war. How men belonging to the
Independent party, still claiming to
be Republican in principle, can sup
port such man for a high position,
is beyond comprehension; but then,
a sore head will make a man do
most anything.
II. Kennedy, the nominee for the
Assembly from Dayton, is a good
honest citizen, has always been
good Republican, and all | shall say
of him is that he has got into very
bad company.
Mr.. A. NJ. McCabe, candidate tor
Sheriff, lives in Dayton, or at least
he has since he was appointed Dep
uty Sheriff under Geo. w. Shaw. |
BY virtue thereof he claimed that the |
'mantle' ought to fall on his shout
ders. 1t seems that but very few
people in his own town, and about |
the same number in Silver, thought |
so. The result was that tw0-thirds |
or three-f ourths of the Republican |
party in the county were in favor of
the nomination of r. A. Cook. The
day after the Convention Mr.. Me- |
Cabe published a card" coming |
out as an Independent candidate for |
Sheriff. He told Geo. w. Shaw that |
he would not be a candidate. It
must be confessed, Mac, that it is
very conpentent to be an Independ-
ent. 1t gives man such latitude
even doing away with some of the |
ten commandments; and as soon as |
a man develops into a Sore-head-
Independent, his former life is blot
ted out, together with all recollec-
sion OF "tests'' taken or pledges |
made then, for he is not responsible. |
The only question is whether he |
ever was. More next time.

Independent.

Judging from the paragraph below,
the Memphis Appeal is not particular
ly in love with the independent ele-
ment," as it is sometimes called:
I'm politics we have about as much
respect for Office seeking independents
as the brave and loyal soldier has for
the guerilla in time of war. When a
man is seized with a morbid lust for
office, he takes to that hacknied word
independent, just as natural as young
ducks take to the puddle in the yard.
When man once gets taste of office,
he walks around nominating conven-
ton, and looks at every vacant office
as wistfully as hungry horse looks
into his master S green pastures. In
dependent candidates have been sing
ing the same song since the organiza-
tlon of our government, but in nine
eases out of ten the independents fall
between the two organized parties, re-
ceiving the contempt of both. If, by
the few votes they generally receive,
they succeed in defeating the party
they pretend to favor, they immediate
ly sink to oblivion, amid the scorn of
the party they have betrayed and the
contempt of the party that profit by
their treachery."

The Number of Type in Newspaper.

The Poughkeespie. Eagle, in an ar
ticle on "How mistakes happen in
newspapers" figures up the number of
types used in a newspaper the size Of
the Eagle at 600, 900, the actual num-
Der of bits of metal arranged and re-
arranged every day in preparing news
paper the size of the Eagle for the
press. We suppose few people think
of the printing trade as the most ex-
act and particular business, but it is.
In making type, variations that might
be allowed in the machinery Of the
finest watch would render the type
useless. 1t is very rarely that type
furnished by two separate foundrIes
can be used together without a good
deal of trouble, though they try to
make it after the same standard. We
read once IN a while of a wonderful
piece of cabinet work or mosaic work,
containing ten, twenty or fifty thous-
and pieces. the maker of which has
spent months or even years of labor
in producing it, and people go to see it
as a great curiosity, but the most elab-
crate and carefully fitted piece Of work
of this kind ever made does not com
pare with that which the printer does
every day. The man who does the
first is looked upon as an artist-a
marvel of skill, and if a hundred Of
his pieces are put in wrong side up, or
turned the wrong way, it is not OBJ
served in the general effect--but if the
printer, in fitting ten times as many
pieces together in the same day, puts
one where another should be, or turns
one the wrong way, everybody sees 1t,
and is amazed at the stupid careless
ness of those stupid printers.

How to Diminish Taxes.

Keep away from cross road groceries;
work yourself; stay with your hired
hands; haul out all manures attend
to your stock and stop the little leaks.
Have place for everything, and keep
everything in its place. This will
stop heavy taxes in shape of expendi-
ture for gear, plows, hoes, axes, etc.,
and will save at least ten days in the
year, lost by hunting misplaced arti-
cles. Do everything in season. Watch
the markets, and sell when the best
prices prevail, and in order to do this
take good paper, study it and watch
the crop reports. Do not be deAived
by the plausible showing of specula
tors. Many a farmer has lost two
thirds of his net profits by needing
the figures of sharp fellows who live
by their wits. Do not invest all your
capital in land. This makes to-day
the heaviest tax paid by the far
mers of this State.
Try to manage so as to have ready
money enough to run you through the
wear. This will save from ten to twenty
Der cent. on purchases and heavy tax.
Adopt the English plan, and have a
fixed working capital. Five thousand
dollars in land and five thousand in
cash is much better thau fifteen thous-
and invested in laad alone. Keep
money to buy implements and man
ures, to pay tor labor and stock, and
to enable you to hold your produce for
the best prices. By dong this, taxes
will be diminished fully three fourths
and you feel like prosperous, thrifty
man, and will be sure to be content
ed one.

Names Of Countries.

Europe signifies country of white
complexion so named because the
inhabitants there are of lighter com
plection than those Of either Africa
or Asia. Africa signifies the land OF
corn, or ears. 1t was celebrated for
its abundance of corn and all kinds Of
grain. Spain, country Of rabbits,
or comics. This country was once so
infested with these animals that the
inhabitants petitioned Augustus for an
army to destroy them. Italy, a coun-
try of pitch: from its yielding great
quantities of black pitch. Gaul, mod
ern France, signifies yellow haired; as
yellow hair characterized its first in
habitants. Hibernia, as utmost, or
last habitation; far beyond this, west
ward, Phenicians. we are told, never
extended their voyages. Britain, the
country of tin, as there we're quaint
ties of lead aud tin found on the ad-
jacent islands. The Greeks called it
Albion, which signifies in the Pheni-
clans tongue either white or high
mountains, from the whiteness Of its
shores, or Che high rocks on the west
ern coast.
