REPUDlAsED AGAIN.

The msngrel party has committed
another bluader. In thus blunder.
ing It manifests . close consistency
with the Democrats Of the East. The
National Convention blundered In
nominating Tilden. and thereby lost
the best opportunity the party hiss had
for years. The New York Conven.
ton blundered in nominating Sey-
mour, and thereby left the way clear
for Morgan. laundering this year
is :. character u. the opposition, and
it manifests itself quite forcibly
in this county. 1t will be rsmem-
bered how the Silver City primary
meeting endeavored to seduce Re-
publican voters by nominating as
delegates men who had neen allied
to tue Repu1 lean party for long
years. These men we're Obliged
publicly to disown any connection or
sympathy with the mongrel party.
This was . serious blow to the oppo-
sition, Is showing to what straits
they were reduced for good men and
how sorely they were in need OF
whatever little strength they might
De able to g in from the Rrpublica S
by title strategy. TIN STRAIT gy,
however, was poorly pl N ed and as
BADLY executed. At the convention
It was the same. In order to can-
ciliste certain supposed neutral fac
tons and induce to the party certain
weak Republicans, nominations were
made that now rebound to the dis
advantage of the ticket. In another
part Of this issue We prin. card
from Mr.. W L. Blown of Dayton,
the nominee for County Clerk, de
clining to have any place on ticket
in opposition to a party that he s'o'd
by during the stormy days. Mr.,
Brown was regarded MS the strongest
man that was nominated. and his
withdrawal is serious blow
to the ticket. J. F. Banks Of
Sutro, one of the nominees for the
Assembly, is said to be in bad hu-
NOR at the Use of his name at all in
the Convention. He is Republican,
and consistency, without which n
man can never rise politically, pricks
him to withdra~. Mr.. Banks is
quite young man, and if he re-
gard the prestige of his family and
have an eye out for future passibili-
ties he will not long hesitate.

AUTHORIZATIONS

IT is Il Significant fact that none
If the nominees of the mongrel con-
vention for the Legislature were re-
CURED to pronou ne in favor OF
maintaining the bullion-tax law as
il now stands. This must strike
really independent voters as very
important omission. None OF the
candidates for the Assembly were
even asked if they would abide by
the principles of the platform. Mr..
Westerfeld was not present, but
Colonel Robinson said that he Was
authorized to subscribe 10 the plat
form for him. The party that calls
itself the guardian Of the peoples
rights and that claims 10 have the
welfare of the masses only in view
should have paid more attention TO
this all important question. II is
the only question that vitality con-
Germs the taxpayers OF this county,
and for self stylsd Peoples Con-
vention to thus pass il over is serious
reflection upon its competency, not
TO say honesty of purpose. Those
who have been nominated for the
Assembly have nothing To bind them
to q just course in regard to this
matter, a. they were not asked to
pledge themselves in any way. All
the party have rom Mr.. Westerficl,i
is Colonel r ,binson's word that he
will stand by the platform, which, ST.
far ~ Mr.. Robinson is concerned, is
sufficient. But the people demand
in this exigency, no secondhand tes-
timoay, but unqualified pledges from
their legislative nominees tina, they
will support no MEASURE defended t.
interfere with the collection of tn.
bullion-tax. The Peoples Con-
VENT N has tailed T., secure thi:
guarantee to voters, and voters viii
govern themselves accordingly. The
Republican Convention to as.embl,
| aext Saturday will look out for tn,
interests Of tax payers more closely
We may he sure. When this con
vention will have completed lite worl
the public will be able to judge v hicl

II mCst have been noticed that the
mongrei convention had nothing To
say about the silver question and the
necessity to Nevada Of restoration
OF the old silver dollar. The Chi
nese question, We believe, was also
passed by. One might naturally ex-
poet that : convention representing
the people - . masa would ask =
pledgefrom the candidates for the
Legislature that they would use their
utmost influence, in the even, of their
election, in conjunction with the leg
islature - . whole, to induce Con-
Rress to remonitixe silver and vouch-
safe some protection to this coast
against the dangerous inroad OF
Chinese. The Democrats Of Storey
County have touched upon these two
points. When Democrats are alone
ehsy sometimes hit the mark, but when
they are united with an indiserimi-
nate gashsFing Of soreheads, neutrals
and bsckali hing Republicans, they
are worse than nothing. A ming

A Horrible Death.

Some weeks ago Alexander Scott, a
farmer living near Cherry Hill, Mary.
land, INDUCED in an exchange OF
horses. The horse he secured was a
fine looking animal, but at the time was
suffering from disease of the head. Mr..
SCOTT believed it to be "distemper, "
and did not object to running the risk.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Scott shand begun
to inhame from slight wound on the
back of it, and became in few days a
very ugly ulcer, causing him a great
deal of pain. He became sick of fever,
and physician was called in. He found
the patient suffering from fever, but de-
tected nothing different from an ordi-
nary case of intermittent fever, and pre-
scribed the usual remedies. The physi.
clan having occasion to leave home, and
the fever not abating. another doctor
was asked to attend MIR. Scott. At the
first visit he prescribed for intermittent
fever, having first inquired about the
sore hand, and being told that it had
nearly healed. The next day, however,
he found Mr.. Scott suffering with rag
ing fever, and covered with "button
farcy." The disease was unmistakably
"glanders," and had been communi-
Gated frou. the glandered horse through
the break in the skin of the hand. Mr..
Scott suffered the most fearful agony
and deiirium throughouttwo days, when
death ensued. Gases OF persons suffer
ing from "glanders " are very rare, but
occur often enough to remind horsemen
that the proper way to deal with horse
suffering from this fatal disease is to
have him killed at once. A horse may
have "chronic glanders and live a
long time, keep fat, and work without
difficulty, yet innoculate man and beast
with the deadly virus that is slowly sap
ping his existence.

A Grand POtlatch.

There was mighty gathering of In
dians at Saanich, says q letter from
British Columbia. Upward of 5000
redskins, in 273 canoes, were present.
The occasion of the assemblage was q
grand potlatch of over $15, 900 worth OF
goods being given away. English
blankets to the value of $1,000 were
thro an from the top of the lodges to be
scrambled for by the natives below, who
stood armed with long poles, st7"k full
OF nails at one end, to secure the =, :ize
as soon as it fell. In addition to Mese,
some curious "percecees, made by the
natives themselves from the wool of the
mountain sheep, were also thrown.
Three hundred guns, amongst which
were some very fine doubled barreled
pieces with percussion locks, were then
thrown down, and caused series OF
tremendous struggles, which lasted in
some cases for nearly an hour. Pieces
of board representing sums ranging from
S1OO to $500 were then scrambled for
after the same fashion. Three brothers
gave $500 blankets as their contribu-
tion, which had all been paid for by the
products of the chase. The stock of
gifts beiug exhausted the natives all got
into their canoes and left, thus ending
one OF the largest meetings Of the kind
which has taken place for many years,
and probably the last of any magnitude
which will occur, as the rising genera.
ton of Indians seem to care little about
perpetuating the customs of their fore
fathers, and this, as we'll as many other
ancient practices. will soon be numbered
among the things Of the past. All was
conducted soberly, and the Indian
superintendent, Colonel Powell, and
Police Superintendent Todd, who were
present, we're both struck with the alb
sence of any sign of intoxication.

A CITY Of Insurance.

By the last official report it appears
that 212, 467 people have their lives In
sured in the insurance companies OF
Hartford, Conn. If each of these repre-
sents family of five, then more than a
million people are looking to the city as
their refuge in the time which the in
surance agent, himself Hartford pro-
duct, can 80 pathetically describe as cor
tain to be, for the uninsured, Of acute
financial as well as domestic distress:
These lives are insured for $3.50, 0OO, O0O
altogether, and the property insured in
the fire companies Of the same city is
S645, ,646, 900 more, so that the total risk
which Hartford carries is in round num-
bers 81, 100, ,O00,0 900. The Chicago fire
wiped ont six of the large number OF
fire insurance companies in the city, and
took $40, 900 of property away from
the place.
A singular freak of fate, says a writer
in Scri6ner for November, made the
loss seem even a bit worse than if it had
come on any other date. In Hartford
insurance stock is taxed at its market
value, and the tax lists are sworn to,
October first each year. The fire came
on the ninth of the month, and so the
holders # the worthless or fallen stocks
had for that year to pay taxes on the
highest valuations the stocks had ever
known. II. the fire had occurred ten
days earlier, the difference in favor OF
the individual losers would have been
yery considerable.

A Glassmaker's Fate.

There was an artiicer in Rome who
made vessels of glass OF so tenacious a
temper that they were as little liable to
be broken as those that are made Of gold
and silver. When, therefore, he had
made vial of the purer sort, and such
as he thought present worthy of Caesar
alone, he was admitted into the presence
of the then Emperor Tiberius. The gift
was praised, the skillful hand OF the ar
tist applauded, and the donation of the
giver accepted. The artist, that he might
enhance the wonder of the spectators and
promote himself yet further in the favor
of the emperor, desired the vial out OF
Caesars hand and threw it with such
force against the floor that the most
solid metal would have received some
damage or bruise thereby. Cesar was
not only amazed, but affrighted with the
act; but the artist, taking up vial from
the ground (Which was not broken, but
only bruised together, as if the substance
of the glass had put on the temper OF
brass), drew out an instrument from his
bosom and beat it out to it's former fig.
ure. This done, he imagined that he
had conquered the world, as believing
that he had merited an acquaintance
with Caesar, and raised the admiration
of all the beholders, but it fell out other
wise, for the emperor.inquired it any
other person besides himself was privy to
the like tompering of glass. When he
told him "No" he commanded his at
tendants to strike off his head. saying
"That should this artifce come once to
be known, gold and silver would be as
of little value as the dirt in the street.
Long after this, in 1910, we read that,
among other rare presents then sent
from the Sopby of Persia to the king of
Spain, were six mirrors of malleable
glass, 80 exquisitely tempered that they
could not be broken.

The Good that Comes to Us.

Much of the good that comes to US
through life is far removed from any OF
our plans or intentions. If we watch
child at play we shall see that his con-
tinual pleasures take him unawares. One
by one they meet him Unexpectedly in
simple yet ever changing forms. When
he grows older and planshis enjoyments
how seldom does he realize his anticipa-
tions! Happiness eludes his search and
defes his schemes, but comes in ways
unthought of. 1t escapes from the am
bilious schemer, who thought his grasp
upon it was firm, and dwells with the
simple and loving hearts under the cot
tage roof, who court it not. It flies
from the banquet table, spread to en-
snare it. and descends upon the frugal
board, where health and peace and love
preside. Complicated plans to secure
wealth and power, fame and position,
may be successfully carried out without
bringing half the enjoyment which comes
uncalled to those who live simply, pure
", trustfully and self-denyingly from
day to day, making no claim, but receiv-
ing gratefully whatever blessings de.
scends upon them.
We would by no means undervalue a
grand life purpose, or throw the least
shade of disrespect upon careful and
well laid plans of action. They are IN
valuable, if we use them as instruments,
keeping them under wise control and
modifying them az occasion may re-
quire. They are only detrimental when
we worship them, become absorbed in
them, are bound down by them, and
8. elk good in no other direction. Like
fire and water, our plans make excellent
servants but very bad masters.
