desires to be tried for the crime at
once. He also asserts that lie was at one
time member of the celebrated Vas

showing clearly his connection with the

person in ambush and no clue to the as

CALIFORNIA TO NEVADA.

Mr. Parker, Assemblyman from Inyo

written TO Secretary of State Minor, of
this State, for copy of the joint reso-
luton passed by the Nevada Legislature
in 1871 asking the State of California to
cede to Nevada the territory east of the
summit Of the Sierra Nevada, and it is
supposed it is the purpose Of Mr..
Parker to urge favorable action on the
part of the California Legislature. Fol-
lowing is copy of the preamble and

A CRISIS IMPENDING.

That affairs in the country are ap-
preaching crisis of an alarming nature
we are quite well satisfied. We have al
ready given information of movements
in the East which may well excite APP
prehension. The so-called workingmen
of New York are said to be determined
to bring about trouble and to force an
issue with the city authorities. 1t is a
significant fact that of the force of 90
600 men which the Provisional Commit
tee, as it styles itself, reported as ready
for action, which our dispatches show,
not less than five hundred are of
American birth. The Germans are set
down at 10000, the French at 4, 000 and
the English, Italian and other foreign
nationalities at little more than 5000.
At public meeting, held on Monday
night, the Goth inst, one of the speakers
said:
We have nothing to expect from those
in authority except oppression and i'll
treatment. We want bread The time
has passed for us to sit and quietly dis
cuss plans for labor reform. In many
cases, our families are absolutely starv.
ing. We know where to find bread, and
are strong enough to take it.
That is strong talk, but what shall we
say of this:
We do not want reform; we wantrevo-
luton. The rich refuse US work, and use
their wealth merely to Cypress us. We
will destroy their wealth if necessary, and
free ourselves.
This is the keynote of the whole
movement, says the Boston Globe, and
such utte,ances ought to open the eyes
of those honest workingmen who may
have been deluded by the fair speeches
of the Communistic leaders. There
seems to be a fair prospect for trouble

There are no new developments in the

yet, Notwithstanding the present post
ponement.
The Troy (N. " Press treats the
subject as one Of the gravest nature-one
which cannot be put aside with word.
but as stern question which demands
prompt and decisive action. II says:
Encourage the workingman to stand
up for his rights, but bid him beware OF
too grasping mood Of the dream that
he may at viii govern the affairs OF his
employer. Capital and labor have mu-
tual duties. On the one side there should
be liberality; on the other due appreci-
alton Of the difficulties which beset the
former. Both sides have their wrongs,
fancied or real. Both will be response
bic if the outbreaks, which in our land
have been comparatively mild, should
yet follow presidents across the sea. The
issue is most vital, and on the settle
ment Of it hangs the stability of the ma
tion's future A stern struggle APP
proaches, which would be better prevent
ed than endured. The mutterings in the
air tell of the earthquake whose force
may shake existing Institutions to the
ground and start an anarchy in which
the Republic may become extinct.

In Storey county Sharon will carry the
election by five to one. A great many
hard things have been said about Sharon,
but it is almost universally conceded that
be is a man of his word in his private
capacity and business relations, which is
a guarantee that he would be actuated by
honest impulses in his official position.
His immense wealth places him above
the miserable excuses OF the back
paysters and Credit Mobillierists. He
would have no masters to serve in the
shape of moneyed corporations. because
he is master of the situation. His
wealth and financial interests are such as
to need no legislation hostile to the in.
terests Of the people.
