The increased estimates of amounts required
bv the Department of Public Works in this
city will set people to questioning whether we
are not paying dear for our whistles. The
new parks, boulevards, and other luxuries of
the kind, expensive as they were to create by
no means closed the account with their mere
construction. There is just so much more TO
be looked after There ans to be more than
the usual need of repairs, too, but that may
be because the facts of such need have been
more thoroughly ascertained than they were
under less careful inspection.

That amiable but very dangerous defect in the
Presidents character which blinds him to tho most
notorious and disgracefu faults in his associates
never was more signally exhibited than when he ex
pressed his belief that Mr. Delano would carry with
him into private life the confidence and respect Of
the people. We have often been in doubt whether
the President really believed Mr.. DeanO to be an
honest and efficient public servant, only supported
him because no resented the camors of the press for
his removal. Probably, however that explanation
of his conduct is the true one which saves Gen.
Grants integrity at the expense of his understand
ing If he consults the organs of popular opinion
the subject of the Secretary's resignation he will
perhaps come to the conclusion that the whole nation
has grown as licentous and unbridled as the inde-
pendent press.

We give to-day further details of the de-
vastation by the cyclone on the Texas coast.
The losses are SO great and so widespread
that as yet no fair estimate can be
made of their amount. An urgent APP
peal for aid comes from Matagorda, the
town having been almost wholly swept away.
The work of improving tie mouth of the Mis-
sissippi has not been seriously affected by the
hurricane, and in our local columns a state
mcnt from Capt. Eads will be found, which
shows that the damage done was slight, and
can be easily repaired.

For Governor of Massachusetts,, Charles
Francis Adams The dispatches indi
cate that there is possibility of
such a ticket. When the Republicans
of New-York choose Gen. Merritt, and
the Democrats head their ticket with John
Bigelow, no transformation of parties is i'm
possible; and there is reason to hope for
Adams in Massachusetts, at least until
the adjournment of tO-day's Convention
is announced. 1t would be an electric bit of
work, and its effect in crystalizing the floating
elements would be incalculabe. For some years
Massachusetts, Republicans have illustrated the
possibilities of folly and cowardice. Are they
to show us to-day what courageous sagacity
still remains to Massachusetts craftsmanship |!

The City of Ncw-York now pays 81 per
cent of the entire State tax. The Board
of State Assessors recommend the State
Board of Equalization to increase the valna-
ton of the city some S51,0OO,OOO, in order
that the city may pay still larger proper
ton of the tax. At first sight this seems
to be merely highway robbery. and the protest
elsewhere printed will be thought 10y our
readers to give ample grounds for such an
opinion.

At present the strike at Fall River is local
question, but the leaders are endeavOring to
extend its power by obtaining sympathy and
aid from neghboring towns. This seems to be
its only hope of success, but the condition Of
operatives elsewhere does not offer an en-
cOuraging prospect. SO far as the demand for
goods, the prosperity of business, and the ac
cumulated means of wOrklngmen are concerned.
there is nothing to warrant this strike with any
sensible man. But the determination Of the
employers to break the power of the Trades
Unions, and the equal resolve of the operatives
to sustain their organizations, cmbtter con-
test in which prudence, if not common sense.
is cast to the winds. The views of several of
our prominent city merchants, and an interest

The trial of the officers Of the Miners Ma
tional Association, for melting riots will be
closely watched as it proceeds at Clcarfeld,
Penn The deeds of violence of the miners
during the strike deprived their cause of pub

arraigned in court we may hope that simple
Justice will be administered without reference
either to the stormy passions or the political
influences which had so prominent part
during the strike.

RECLAIMtNG SWAMP LANDS.

William NJ Stewart, United States
ex-senator from Nevada, once asserted
in a speech in the Senate that there are
no swamp lands in Nevada. The peo-
pie of Paradise Valley, Big Meadows
and several places along the Humboldt,
in this county, knew that the Senator
was mistaken. He also stated that the
passage of bill by Congress donating
all swamp and overlooked lands within
it's limits to the State of Nevada would
cause endless litigation. The Senator
was inconsistent because if there were
no swamp or overlooked lands in the
State the passage Of such bill could
bring about no lawsuits. But Stewart
WAS q Senator and member of the
dominant party in Congress, and the bill
did not pass, and the State is deprived
of the benefits of an Act from which
California and other States are realiz-
ing thousands of dollars. The swamp
lands, of which there are thousand of
acres in this county, are as yet unsur-
veyed, consequently there is no oppor
tunity to acquire title to them from
the State or General Governments.
This has undoubtedly retarded their
reclamation, as none other than a
possessory title can be obtained under
existing circumstances. These lands
nre among the richest in the State, aad
the first attempt at recla ming any por-
ton of them is now being made by }.
C. Fairbank and T. G. Negus, two old
residents and enterprising citizens of
this county. They have undertaken
to reclaim. by bitches and levees, a
large tract of land on the Humboldt
river above Tule Station, which here
tofore has been duck pond the greater
part of the year. A description of this
enterprise and what those gentlemen
have accomplished appears elsewhere
in these columns. They have filed a
possessory title to the lands. and have
good reasons for believing that in a few
years they will have, in what has been
tule swamp, the most valuable
meadow lands i'll Nevada.

believe that to preserve the Union it is

ton. No attempt is made to explain
the cause of the defeat, for the reason
that it cannot be attributed to anything
else than the corruption aud rottenness
of the administration, the stencil of
which has driven hopest Republicans
from the party. The administration
organs are right in maintaining silence
on the subject, as it is generally and
we'll understood by the people and needs
no farther explanation.

The young men of Silver City ought
to be ashamed of themselves, as the
girls of that town are obliged to take
hot water to bed with them to keep
from freezing. The Avalanche tells of
two young damsels who adopted this
substitute for something more agree
able, and kicked the cork out of the
jug, delueing the bed with hot water.
How the Avalanche man got hold of the
item is not explained, and will probably
remain mystery, but it is surmised
that he squeezed it out of one of the
girls.

with lis order to clear the Courtroom.
Beecher imme diately resumed the wit

referring to the interview with Deacon
Bell regarding the scandal. Witness
said he related the facts in the case to
Bell, who dissuaded witness from any
investigation, excitedly declaring 1t was
a case for silence. The witness next
referred to the Interview with Moulton

matters. Moulton spoke to witness Of
Tilton's financial depression and the
mortgage on Tilton's house, and Wit
ness to show his interest III the matter

ranged for Bessie Turner's schooling,
Beecher denied the statements.
