San Francisco. August 10. - Com
plants come from the quarantine office
that owners OF coasting vessels wilfully
neglect to use proper precautions to pre-.
vent the spread of small. pox. Circum-
stances are cited where captains of yes.
sells have smuggled small pox patients
ashore into boarding. houses in order to
cause no expense to the vessel. A cap
tain is reported to have received strict
orders from his owners not to allow his
vessel to be quarantined at any hazard,
but to run the gauntlet OF the uuaran-
tine boat. and send his patients ashore
In the night. The captain did not obey
his instructions, but anchored his vessel
at the quarantine ground and waited for
doctor TO come. The owners, who are
large lumber dealers, threaten to dis
charge the captain, for disobeying or
ders.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The Tribune edi-

who swept California as the Independent
Republican candidate for Governor and
afterwards elected United Senator, is in
indianapolis. He was originally from
Indiana. He says he can't hesitate in
his choice between Hayes and Wheeler
on the one side and Tiden and Hend.
ricks on the other, and must support the
former. He has promised to make seven
speeches for Hayes aud Wheeler in In.
diana before leaving for home. He will
stump California on his return for the
Republican ticket and expresses the
opinion that Hayes will carry the State
as the Republicans are now perfectly
united on the Pacific Coast. He says
his letter declining the Independent
nomination for Vice President was
promptly written but suppressed by the
managers of that party.

In an article on the proper action in
relation to the South. the New York
Herald says:
One of the phrases oftenest used about
the Southern States is that they must
become like the North" ave want to
make Louisiana like the North, " said a
very prominent Republican of that State
the other day. I'VE want to make Mis-.
sissippi like de Norf, said a colored
Sheriff of that State not long ago to a
Northern traveller, who replied to him,
eravely, You are Sheriff of this coun-
ty. my friend; you can not write a sen
tence correctly; you can barely Eead; you
own less than five hundred dollars
worth OF property in the world; vet
you are Sheriff Of great county,
and you want to have your State
like the North. Believe me when
l tell you that there is not a State nor
county in all the North where ten men
could be found to nominate you for
Sheriff, or, in fact, for any office what
ever. do not speak il to offend you,
but to inform you. II you lived any
where in the North. even in Masss-
chnsetts or the Western Reserve of Ohio.
no soul would ever for a moment think
OF nominating you even for Constable,
much less Sheriff. You would be patient
and coutented day laborer or farmer, and
your widest dreams would not lead you
to think of Office" Is not this true ?
And if so, when we echo.the Southern
Republicans or the Southern ne.
groe's cry that the South shall
be like the North" ought we no,
to think what that means? Louisiana
has negro Lieutenant Governor; Mis-
sissippi had one until he was impeacbe d
for bribery Almost every Southern
State has colored State officers, colored
sberiffs, colored tax collectors, colored
Judges, colored school officers. In this
are they not unlike, very unlike, "the
North?" Frederick Douglass is cul-
iivsted man, an eloquent speaker, a
forcible writer, man of property, good
citizen. What party in New York has
ever thought of nominating him for
Lieutenant Governor?
The moral seems to be that it will
take time, and, what may be termed,
non-intetference, before the four million
OF ignorant voters in the South can be
brought to even a partial understanding
of the duties and requirements of free
dom.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
LOCAL MINING REVIEW.

The news arriving on Friday last to
stop further work on the pump of the
Meadow Valley mine for the present,
had very depressing effect on the COM
munity when the news was first propa
gated, but as soon as the extent of the
news was learned reaction took place
and people generally were more hopeful
that the stoppage would be of only short
duration. The chloriding and finishing
up of the hosting works, continues at
the Meadow Valley. At the Raymond &
Ely the usual prospect work is being
continued with no change to note. Sink
ing on the main shaft of the Phoebe con-
tinues, fair progress being made. The
starting of the Alps mill last Sunday and
the continued running OF the same daily
throughout the week, was about the only
good mining news OF the week worth
recording. Its operating will tend to
throw some money in circulation. No
change in the working of the Alps mine.
Work has not started yet on the American
Flag mine, the Superintendent not
having returned. We hear nothing
further in regard to the proposed smelt-
ing furnaces. Mining matters generally
at present look very dull.
MEADOW VALLEY.
Orders having arrived to Stop all work
on the pump for the present, work on
' that portion of the machinery of this
mine ceased on Friday. Machinery con-
tinued to arrive throughout the week,
and as fast as it arrives it will bs stored
at the works until orders are received to
put 1t up. The work on the hosting
machinery will be finished, and Chord
t0g work in the mine continues as usual.
There is no change to note.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
Work on the 9Th, 10th and 18th levels
continues as usual, with no change to
note. Some few chloriders are at work
in the upper levels, q small amount OF
ore being extracted. The mill at present
10 lying idle. A large amount of the
base ore from this mine Is being shipped
to Sacramento for reduction, by the
Euska and Palisade teams.
PIocHE.
Engine shaft has now attained depth
OF 1885. The time draws near for the
commencement Of the cross-out to the
ledge.
M
Prospecting work in this mine con-
tinues with undated vieor. The pros.
poets in the lower level show very fat.
tering indications that good ore may be
reached before long. The work of ex.
tracing ore from the upper levels still
continues. No change Of note has taken
place either In the work performed or
the appearance Of the mine since the
last report.
HUM AND HUNT.
The usual work is being done on this
mine BY three hands. There is no
change to note.
WASHINGTON AND CREOLE.
No work is being done on this mine at
present, and there will not be until the
ore already extracted is worked.
ALPS MILL.
This mill has been running day times
since Monday mornings last. A large
amount OF custom ore is on hand, be-
sides the ore from the company's mine,
which will be put through as fast as pos.
eiblo. This will tend IN raljava tho
pecuinary troubles of great many who
are depending on this custom mill to

The PURCHASING Power OF SILVER
Mr.. Bagehot, of the London Economist,
In his testimony before the COMMITTEES
OF Parliament on Silver, suggests that.
as soon as decline in the price of silver
causes any considerable rise in prices OF
commodities in India, production in that
country will be correspondingly stimu.
lated, so that the equilibrium of prices
must eventually be restored. HIS says:
Respecting the future relation between
silver and gold, one thing seems evident.
AS recent changes have been mainly
caused by the action Of Governments,
involving purchase or an offer for sale
oil quantities greatly exceeding the
amounts thrown on the market by in.
crease of production, or by com ercial
changes in India, so the near future ia
likely to depend chiefly upon the action
OF Governments. Already the prospect
OF an increased demand in this country
mas caused reaction in the price from
forty-slx to fifty-one pence per ounce.
Either by adoption of q silver currency
here, or by its practical abandonment in
France, changes Of the greatest import
ance may be produced. But, in a more
permanent sense, the one thing above all
others firmly established and important
to note is that the use OF silver as a cur
rency by more than half OF the worlds
population will not cease; that IL con-
trolls prices of important products, both
OF the East and of Europe, and thus af-
iects the markets OF the whole world;
that its purchasing power in India and
emma cannot be greatly changed by
variations OF its gold price in Europe,
ooth because the silver nowhere exists
to supply the enormous increase which
rises In prices at the East would require,
and because that rise of prices would
quickly cause increase Of production in
Eastern countries. and change of trade
relations with Europe. Hence the pur.
chasing power of silver is more perman.
ent than that of gold.

an exchange says:
Mr.. Hayes has reason to coneratu late

Andaiusia. II was on Friday. the 18th
OF June, 1892, that he discovered the
American Continent. On FRIDAY.
March 2, l497, Henry VII, of Eng.
land, gave to John Cabot his dispatch
ior the voyage which resulted in the dis.
coyery OF the continent OF North America.
On Friday. September 6, 1865, Mendez

Washington was born. 1t was on Fri.
