WHICH SHALL SUCCEED.

Coming nearer home. political excite.
ment Is already manifested in Nevada
and Arizona. though the elections do not
take place until the Tuesday after the
first Monday in November. In Nevada
the prospect seems to he at present that
the Independents will not cut any con-
spicuOus figure in the fight and the Re
pnblicans will win an easy victory. Out
side of few Western States the Inde-
pendents have not thus far manifested
much power. In the elections that have
already come Oh, they have won no vic
tories. while no less than eight States
have gone Democratic The effect Of
these Democratic successes is likely to
be to keep the Republicans true to their
party organizations by Indicating that
any diversion Of their strength will only
tend to give the battle into the hands Of
the reactionists. The Sacramento Union
thinks that these Democratic gains are
more apparent than real and only
show that 1.-THE people have not yet
walked up." They certainly show that
the Democrats have walked up. and that
their party is far from being the ''pu-
crescent corpse " which We have Of late
heard 20 much about from certain quar-
ters
The above is an extract from an article
in the San Francisco Chronicle of the 18th
inst We reproduce it for the purpose
of urging upon Republicans the neces-
atty for unity of action and determined
front toward all opposition. The re-
marks of the Chronicle about the "pu-
crescent corpse Of the Democratic
party are sensible and to the point.
There is nothing made BY declaring =
party dead when its leaders are as active
and vieilant ~ are tho Democratic lead
srs in this State. We have no doubt but
the Republicans will win an easy VIC
tory 3" in this State this Fall, but it will
require that the party be not weakened
BY any assertions to the ranks of the
Independents. or Sutroism. Republi-
cans should heed the lessons Of the
Democratic successes. stated above, and
consider whether it is better that Nevada
be counted as another this year. Arouse
from your apathy Republicans and show
that the Republican party is entitled to

SAGACIOCS SCIENTISTS.

In taking a trip to Gold Hill yesterday
had fine view of the granite obelisk
erected on the knoll in the rear Of the
Imperial Empire works and known IS
the Government Astronomical Monu-
ment. This big block of stone vas
shaped and smoothed and placed in its
present position at a considerable cost to
Uncle Sam. First came some big injun
or iniuneer and selected the site, after
long considering the lay of the land;
then came the astronomers, and pitched
their tent upon tho knoll and took obser-
vations for months through telescopes
and things. They were months figuring
up all this work. Finally they planted
tie obelisk, got it right to the fraction Of
. hair-by the aid of about a carload of
instruments-andth then recorded upon it
all manner Of things about the true lati-
tude and longitude, and meridians, and
things celestial and terrestrial, all starting
from . dot about the size Of . musqui-
ts's eye. All this was done without ever
giving . single thought to the stability the

POLITICAL HONESTY.

The great hue and cry about " corrup.
ton. :. dishonesty and "venality" Of
officials leads some to the conclusion
that all the officers o! the Government
are dishonest and the country fast drift
ing int" u condition Of general corrnp-
ton. This. We undertake :" say. 10 an
unwarrsntable conclusion. There is not
more dishonesty in the administration
OF affairs. to-day. than there vas in the
good old times Of which the reform
ers and Democrats talk SO much. Take
any record OF the times Of Democratic
rule in the country and do You not find
that officials were then dishonest-that
corruption vas found in high places and
that rs much peculation. in proportion
10 the number OF officials. resulted then
As now? Away back in the days when
political giants commanded in the halls OF
Congress We find in the records the
charge Of dishonesty. Of trickery and Of
veaality. and intimations Of bribery and
corruption against those Who were re-
sarded az the greatest in the land. In
those days. however. it was considered
the duty Of political parties to protect
those accused belonging to their respec-
tive parties. The great influence of the
press had not yet been felt and to the
common people these accounts seldom
came authenticated. Nov If the most

the party nov in power has not attempt

unhesitatinely declare, without fear of
the declaration being successfully con-
troverted. that the Republican party has
exposed and punished more delirquents
in official duty-in proportion to the
number thereof in the parsy-than has
any party ever before in existence in the
