The Temperance Campaign in Ohio.

The Temperance Campaign in Ohio
The temperance campaign in Ohio is
progressing with considerable effect, and
has extended to some portions of Indiana
and New York. Although moral sua.
sion is the element in use. it is novelty,
the work being mainly done by women.
Parties of twenty TO one hundred, and
on some occasions even two hundred
ladies, assemble at the places where
Intoxicating liquors are sold and per.
sonally solicit the dealer to discontinue
the sale, and if he refuses them they or
ganize prayer-meeting on his premises
or if, as in a few instances: they are re
fused presence, then they organize in th,
street in front of the saloon or othe
place. While the propriety of this pro
ceeding will be questioned by man
good temperance people, yet it has ha
much effect in many places. In som
instances even the liquor seller has nc
only complied with the request but hs
actually joined in the crusade again

to re-district the state, thai, they may elect

democrats in many places have long

THE MISUNDERSTANDING in
quiry is made by many who do not
understand the matter, as to the new
mine styled the Mexican, which was
placed upon the list of stocks in the
Stock Board Thursday. The old
Mexican mine, in the early days of
the Comstock, says the Ne,cs, COM
prised 100 feet of the Ophir ground,
segregated, and given to the Mexi-
can or company of Mexicans who
originally worked the Ophir, for so
doing. The new Mexican ground is
simply the north division OF the
Ophir ground. This heretofore,
comprised l,275 feet, but it is now
divided, giving the Mexican 600 feet,
and the Ophir 675 feet. The Next
can has 1913 shares to the foot, and
Ophir $50, or lag shares and frac-
ton to the foot. By this division,
the holders Of Ophir receive stock
dividend of one share of Mexican to
each OF their shares of Ophir. The
Ophir has the cream of the thing,
that is to say. it has all the ore thus
far discovered and belonging to the
recent rich developments; but this
is expected to extend into, and per-
haps beyond the Mexican.

commenced at Esquimault and
Nanaimo early In the Spring. Town
lots and other property have increas-
ed one hundred per cent. in value at
Esquimault since the railroad has
settled at that place for terminus.
The Victoria claim at Cariboo is

gold weekly. The Vulcan comes
second. All claims on Lightning
Creek are doing better than ever.
San Francisco and Eastern mails
come very irregular. Complaints
are heard from all quarters that let

or two before the sailing of direct
steamers are sent overland, thereby
delayed week more than neces-

Over the Mountains by Daylight.

1--WE do not claim the privilege OF
debating to the managers of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad Company in
any matter relating to the business
Of the road; yet we may be allowed
to suggest that change in the
schedule time of the arrival and
departure of their mail and passen-
ger trains at Reno would be bless
ing, in more respects than one. In
the first place, the change would be
great accommodation to the people
of Western Nevada. However, as
they have not been in the habit of
favoring the people of this State in
any manner other than extorting
from them unusual rates for all the
services performed, it is unreason-
able, perhaps, to ask them to con-
slider the convenience of the jewellers
along the Comstock in the premises.
But there are other reasons for the
change suggested. The most dan
gerous portion of the road between
Reno and Sacramento is from the
summit of the mountains eastward.
BY the eastern and western passen
ger trains this is now passed over in
the night. Were the trains to meet
at Reno at 9 or 10 O'Clock in the
morning, instead of midnight or an
hour later, as at present, the portion
of the road would be encountered by
daylight. On the steep grade, subject
to land and snow slides, the most of
the accidents of the Central Pacific
occur, and arrangements should be
made to pass it by daylight, if possi-
BILE. Only two or three days ago a
broken freight train came dashing
down the grade, colliding with a
passenger train at Boca, and killing
and woanding a number of persons.
Such accidents are frequent over that
part of the road-all the more fire.
Quent, it is manifest, because the
dangerous grade Is reached in the
night by both the eastern and west
ern-bound passenger trains. The
safely Of passengers should be the
first consideration, and to this end
the time ought TO be so changed as
to bring the passenger trains to-
gether at Reno somewhere between
8 and ii O'Clock A. NJ. We shall be
pleased to hear what objection there
may be to the proposed change.
What say the San Francisco and
Sacramento Journalist Let US coun-
sci together
We agree with the Enterprise of
yesterday that the timetable of the
Central Pacific should be changed so
that the passenger trains may pass
the Sierra Nevadas in daylight. We
have heard many excursionists COM
plain of not being able to see the
beautiful mountain scenery of this
and the adjoining State while passing
directly through it, owing to the
trains passing it in the night time.
This, together with the fact that it is
the most dangerous part of the road
should induce the managers of that
road to give us a change, even
though they do not respect the
wishes and desires of the citizens of
Nevada, who contribute largely to
the Golfers of the monopoly. Let
us go through by daylight.
