FRACAS IN

We regret to learn that a difficulty
occurred last Saturday in Carson be-
tween Harry Mighels, of the appeal,
and Professor Frank Stewart, which,
but for the Intervention of bystanders,
might have ended in serious results.
The difficulty. originated in relation to
an article in Saturday MORNINGS Ap
peal, commenting upon centennial
matters and Professor Stewards con-
nection Herewith. Sunday mornings
Appeal contains the following account
of the affair:
Our readers are aware that there has
been u pretty lively discussion In tho
newspapers in relation to the action of
the Board of Centennial Commission
ers of this State, and in which discuss
sion the editor of the appeal has taken
q prominent part. 1t seems that the
reference in the discussion to w. Frank
Stewart in this paper yesterday gave
offsnse to that gentleman. He had
just returned here from San Francisco,
and meeting tho editor or Carson
street. in front Of Willis drug store,
took exception to what he considered
the disrespectful remarks concerning
himself in the newspaper article re-
ferred to. Not having witnessed the
ARRAY which followed, nor having had
any conversation in relation to the af-
fair with either of the gentlemen en-
gaued therein the editor icing absent
from bis post and off duty since the
unfortunate Occurrence), WI can only
give the incidents a. reported to us by
ether parties. A demand was made
by Mr.. Stewart that such reference To
him in the Appsat as complained Of
should cease. The editor replied that
he should write as he pleased and
askel what he (Stewart) proposed To
do alOnt it. THE answer Was u threat
OF personal chastisement. A blow
with the fist on the face of Mr.. Stewart
was then given, Immediately followed
nv Mr.. Stewart striking the editor on
the head with a cane. Bystanders
then interfered and separated the con-
tending parties. Angry words we're
exchanged after this, but no further
violence. We understand that both
gentlemen engaged in the affray have
since come to "A mutual and amica Die
understanding in relation to the mat
'er and are at least as friendly ~ here
toforr. Neither party received any Sc
rious injury.

We have purposely refrained from
expressing any opinion adverse or ia
vorable, to the much-talked of plan Of
Senator Jones for the relief of the
country from the evils attendant on an
inflated currency. We have refrained
from expressing an opinion, because
we have preferred to await the elabor
stion and presentation of the Senator's
scheme before forming an opinion as
to its merits. We are glad TO notice,
In the Geographic columns of our ex-
changes, the news-with which we
have not been favored-that Mr.. Jones
has declared sill the features Of his pro-
posed measure as given by the sensa
ton press not only unauthorized but
also incomplete and erroneous. The
Senator from Nevada is celebrating
a scheme which he believes will avoid
alike the ills of an ir~redeemable cur
rency and Of sudden contraction, and
cur a gradual yet speedy return to
= specie basis. We do not know wheth-
or or not his plan would prove feast.
BILE or b~cnsficial. We sincerely hope
it may prove both. But in any
eveat a due regard for the public inter
ssts, for journalistic consistency and
for ordinary courtesy. would seem to
require that the press should permit a
Senator OF the United States to per
feet and presen, his bill before making
It an object of vague, uniformed stock
