Diamonds for Everybody.

Everybody is to be ablo to wear dia-
monds soon, as q process has been in
vented. we are told. for the manufacture
Of pure artificial diamonds from benzins
mot the kind meant In our police re-
ports when we say q nan has imbibed
too much bsnzine. but the genuine arti-
Gle. Benzine is introduced into u glass
shell about six inches in thickness, and
capable Of standing enormous pressure.
Another substance, having n strong afin-
ity for hydrogen. but the name OF which
Is kept secret, is introduced with 1t.
The poles Of a moderately strong bat
terry are also introduced. and the whole
Is Theoretically sealed. Decomposition
takes place slowly, the hydrogen unites
with tho substance for which II has an
affinity. and pure. colorless carbon is set
free, and in the course Of time forms in
the shape OF diamonds OF various sizes
on the interior sides Of the glass shell.
The only question Is. II the hydrogen
unitss with tho secret substance intro
ducsd, for which it has an affinity,
whence IL derived the enormous pressure
which is claimed to be essential to the
success Of the process? Unless, per-
chance, this substance is also deoom-
posed aud sets free another which has
no affinity for carbon.

The Esierpris this morning published
official returns from nine out Of the
fourteen counties Of the State-aggre-
gated and afterward the Official MAORI
ties Of Lyon county by itself. Taking
the Enterprise figures and adding to the
majorities Of nine counties those Of
Lyon county. We have the following as
the official canvass Of ten counties, to
wit: Storey. Ormsby. Lander. Eureka,
Humboldt. Elko. washos. Lincoln. Nys
and Lyon. In these counties the ma
jorities are Is follows: Bradley. 2,296;
Adams. 1907; woodburn. l.054; Earll,
5is; Minor. 1891; Schooling. 7s4;
Day. 2.5o9; Kelly, GA; Beatty, l.s3s;

4,lo3; whitshiil. 26s; Hill. 60. The
following counties are yet to hear from
officially. viz: White Pine. Douglas,
Esmeralda and Churchill. The result
ON State Printer will not be varied much
from the above figures by returns from
those counties. The result Of the eles-
ton may Be summed up as follows:
The Republican party has elected a Con-
gresham, nine out Of thirteen State Of
icen. and thirty-nine Of the siIty-Avs
members Of the Legislature chosen at
the recent election. There will thus be
. Republican majority Of twenty-ons ON

After the Boxes.

Early on Sunday morning some par
ties endsavored TO effect an entrance into
the County Clerks office. doubtless with
. view OF tampering with the boxes con-
tanning the election returns Of the vari-
GUS precincts. They first tried to I'M
lock the front door. but failing in this,
passed through one Of the offices in
front, and with a screw-driyer attempted
to remove the lock Of the rear door
leading to the Courtroom. Fortunately,
precautionary measures had been taken.
and n rope fastened to the inner knob
Of the door and tied to the railing within.
The janitor Of the building also slept in
the Clerks office, and hearing the par
tics working on the outside OF the door.
he arose and tapped on the door with q
Ratchet, and asked "what was wanted"
The sound Of q voice within scared the
intrudsrs of, and so far no clue has
been reached rs to who they were.
Some one evidently interested in the
welfare OF some candidate, and well
posted, thought II would be n good OPP
portunity TO steal q box or two. and
thereby cause tho election OF his friend.
For fear OF a repetition. a guard was
kept ON Sunday night by two Of the
candidates. but no m attempted to fur
thsr modest the boxes.-Eiuskd Sentinel,

Hi PROPER SPIRIT.

Mr.. Powning. Republican candidate
for State Printer. in his paper. the STATE
Journal OF this morning. comedies the
election Of his competitor, Mr.. Hill, by
a majority Of siIty-four votes. with Es-
msralda county yet to hear from. The
following. which We extract from his
editorial columns, exhibits that true
spirit Of m~anliness which should be
found in every defeated candidate. We
commendits uttsranoes TO some GROWERS
whom we know. In our judgment 1t is
a high compliment to any nan. so to
command the confidence Of his party as
to receive its nomination for a respon-
sibls State Office. It is . higher COM
plimsnt to receive the Endorsement Of a
large percentage Of t~hepeopls Of a State,
and IL is never q disgrace to be defeated
after a square and honest fight. Elsc-
tive Offices are directly the gift OF the
public. Appsintivs offices are indi-
rectly derived from the same source,
and 1t is q compliment TO any n to find
that q large percentage Of the public
are willing to trust to his capacity and
honesty the duties Of . high and hon.
orabls position. While in . fairly con-
ducted political contest there is honor to
the winner Of tho race. thsre Is no dis
grace in defeat. There would be none
sven il the hindermost runner were dis
tanesd. Mr.. Powning came very near
making II q dead heat" But here is
what he says about Il:
"Mr. Hill, the successful candidate
for State Printer. Is q practical printer,
and a personal friend OF the writer. Ho
Is q gentleman in every sense OF the
word, and the Office could not DO in
trusted in better hands. We have every
reason to believe that the people will
never have cause to regret his success.
Just here We desire TO return to the
people Of washoe county u hearty
thanks for tho very generous support
given US for the position Of State Prin-
ter. Receiving 70t in . total OF Lose
votes cast by the citizens Of this county
Is o compliment Of which we feel proud
II says, in effect, TO tho poor orphan
boy. whose fight with the world at large
has been q hard one, who has risen ON
his merits from . drill packer in th'
Grass Valley mines, q peanut psddlsr
and nswsboy on railroad trains, a''devil'
in q printing Office. local, composition,
editor. to proprietor. publisher and cd
itor, vs reposs the utmost confidence in
you. and will sustain you whenever in
our power. The lesson Is not lost. The
love we bear for the people Of the csun-
~ we call home alone equals 1t. and IL
shall be the object OF our life to sIem-
plify ii in more ways than one"
