the same time they have ample money in

present condition we need this foreign cap
ital to give US start in the different dis
tricts upon our quartz, and that it is the
duty Of every citizen rich and poor to use
all proper inducements for this aid from

many rich men in the Territory would do

Territory, and the means Of developing this
wealth, and themselves desert the channels
of trade and put their money at work 10
operating these mines. They are hero in
the country and can more easily and better
learn the chances for this investment than
can outside men, and therefore can invest
more intelligently than outsiders and with
greater assurance of success. They need
not be fearful that other traders will not
come with goods to supply the places they
vacate for if the gold was already mined
among the glaciers Of tho North Pole, aud
ready to be exchanged for goods, the trad.
ing fraternity would soon have their stocks
exposed for sale there if they had to build
ice-ships to be navigated over solid ice.
The people of the Territory must make
these quartz mines available to enrich them.

A CoNrLIcr.-We see by the report in
the Boise Statesman that Governor Brayman
vetoed bill which passed the legislature,
creating the Office of Journal Clerk and as
signed his reasons and what be deemed the
law of Congress prohibiting such an act.
The matter was reconsidered in both Coun-
Gil and House. The Council sustained
their former action by a vote of 9 to 4. The
House sustained their former action by a
vote of IA to IL. The Organic act requires
= two third vote to pass a bill over vetoe
of the Governor. Hence the bill did not
become law.

WAGON RoAD.-An Atlanta correspond.
ent OF the Boise Statesman is urging strongly
the Importance Of wagon road from Boise
City to Atlanta, and suggests that an in
corporation Of meu with $50, 900 capital
attempt the construction Of the road, and
nrges Boise City capitalists to engage in
the enterprise, holding out the Atlanta
trade as the inducement for the people Of
Boise City.
The rich Bonanza found in the Atlanta
mine certainly gives promise that Atlanta
will ere long become populous place and
consume large quantity of goods from
some quarter.

1t generally pays well to observe this
rule. We once heard person congrat-
ulating himself on having made thous-
and dollars during short period of
time. He was asked how he succeeded
80 we'll. His answer was II made $500
OF the sum in attending to my own bus
mess and $500 in leaving other peoples
business alone" In this answer though
blunt and seemingly sarcastic is con-
tanned moral of the utmost Importance
to the well being of every community,
and if men and women would but con-
! sides and observe this moral, how much
more harmony would be manifested in
every neighborhood and town. 1t is
the spirit to NEEDLE with that which
does not concern us, that is the main
cause Of all the strifes, chickering's, quar-
rels and mental sufferings which are
witnessed and experienced in every
community. It pervades all grades in
life. It enters all classes of business.
It makes itself known in all gatherings
Of the people. It finds its way into our
schools and churches, but in no case
does it produce deeper sting and dis
turb the strong 6bres of our being more
than when it enters the family circle
and By its incessant irritation sewers the
ties Of kindred and blood and makes the
most bitter enemies Of those whom God
and nature had ordained to be the most
fast friends. Call to mind neighbor-
hood, if there be such one, whose in
habitants to-day, are all on friendly
terms, all attending to their own bust
ness, all striving to build themselves up
financially, mentally and morally. That
neighborhood is model ofattfaction to
every we'll meaning person. But sup
pose one or two Intermediates of good
address, easy speech and manners, and
having but little business Of their own
70 engross their attention, take up their
abode in that neighborhood, can any
man guarantee the peace Of that people
for six or even three months? No one
can give such guarantee. Their pres.
ence in that community would be like
throwing brands of fire among stacks of
wheat, at first there might only be con-
;oealed suspicious and jealousies smolder-

Repairing the Repairs Upon Our
New .Army Pavement

The work of repairing the repairs on the
new pavemen. on the north side of Pennsyl-
yania avenue, between 9Th and 18th streets
the Irregular army pavement" as ii is called
to distinguish il from others of the common
SORTS being pushed forward to-day with
commendable vigor This is well; and the
occasion seems to be proper time for a
practical suggestion bearing on the subject.
AS this Avenue is pre-eminently govern
ment thOrOughfare, and as the pavement in
question ilas been selected and put down by
a commission of gentlemen appointed spe-
cially and directly by Congress, II is respect
fully submitted that the members of the two
Houses constitute themselves a general in
vestigating committee, 10 walk over the
whole street from time TO time, and see for
themselves what the character of the mate
rial is. how the work is being and has been
done, and how the improvement is fulfilling
their just expectations and those of the general
public. In this way only can the honorable
gentlemen form an intelligent opinion on the
subject. and be able TO come to any satisfac-
tory conclusion as to what return the gov
eminent and the people of Washington are
likely to get in this case for their money
Property holders on the avenue, who have to
bear the greater part of the expense OF this
costly sO-called Improvement, are naturally
a little anxiOuSon the subject, and they en-
tertain the reasonable hope that Congress
men who assumed the management of the
affair will give the matter proper attention
before the bills are presented for payment
After that IL will be too late.
II would be a sad thing all around if the
worst work done under the reign of the much
maligned Board of Public Works should be
made respectable by job done solely and
directly under Congressional auspices.

AS the New York Herald has occupied
rather dispassionate po~ition in regard to
the Presidential complication, and is sup
posed to speak for the solid, conservative
business interests of the country, and es-
pecially ofthose interests among Mr.. Tilden's
immediate New York constituency, consid-
cradle attention has been given to an elab-
crate editorial in Tn at paper of yesterday in
which the conclusion is arrived at that ssin
ali human probability Mr.. Hayes will be our
next President. and if the democratic party
is patriotic and magnanimous enough to ac-
cept this result when il finds that appeals to
Congress and public opinion cannot prevent
it, there il no reason for fearing that he will
not treat IL with fairness and justice"
The Herald in this connection reviews the
history of American Presidential elections,
and says:
1.-THE majority principle prevails in our
system when the majority is clear and indis-
putable; but rather than have the country
plunged INTO the horrors OF civil strife the
trainers of the constitution thought IL better
TO have President for whom but a small
fraction of the people voted. John Quincy
Popular vote and "nly aboytP Pfd Tyns 0 er
cent Of the electoral votes, and vet he was q
constitutional President. 1t was easier to
have IL so than To go through the turmoil of a
new election, when there was so little concen-
tration of popular sentiment. 1t was inf
nitely wiser to have it so than to imperil
great interests by a resort to violence. When
ever il so happens that there is not strong
pIeponderance in favor of one candidate
OF one party our political controversies
are adjourned to the next Presidential
election, when popular sentiment may
declare itself with more emphasis.
This, then, is the tendency of our pOliti-
cal system to make the majority om-
nipotent when the fact Of a majority Is not
open TO dispute, but TO bridge over controver-
sizes and submit temporarily To minority
rule when the public will is not unmista kabiy
declared or not clearly ascertained. This Is
the spirit OF our system. IL recognizes the
right Of majorities, but guards against civil
commotions. When public sentiment is
tolerably united 10 is sure TO prevail, but
when IL Is divided it is better to give it time
10 mature and Consolidate, even il the Presi-
dency Is given meanwhile to the man who
has the smallest number OF votes. In 1924 a
minority candidate became President; but
four years later there was a concentration in
favor of General jackson. who was defeated
in 1s24, although he had the highest number
OF electoral votes, that in 1877 he had ma
jority of nearly five to one in the electoral
colleges. How much better IL was to await
this action OF the people than 10 would have
been to disturb the peace OF the country in
behalf of a defeated candidate,"
Evening star., 1876-12-13

One of the strong points made by Senator
Morton against the monstrosity known as
the electoral college system, Is, that in case
the election OF President and Vice President
Is thrown into the House, as it is liable to be
under that system, the election would be de-
cided by representatives chosen two years
before, and who might not fairly represent
the sentiments OF the people at the time when
called upon TO select a President and Vice
President To show how such a system
would work IL is only necessary to state that
ifthe present House was republican Il would
disregard the public will, so far as the popu-
lar majority is concerned, and ele-t Governor
Hayes President, and VIM. A " seler Vice
President The present Hot - being demo-
cratic, however, happens TO represent the ma
tority of the people, and would OF course elect
Gov. Tilden. The next House which prom
ises to be very close, and the members OF
which were elected last fall, would elect
Hayes and Wheeler, since each state has but
one vote, and IL may be safely estimated that
mover twenty Of the state delegations the
rIqublieans will have a majority. In that
eveEt the popular will would of course be
disrs ssrcec- mere glance at the subject
shows he impropriety OF an election by the
House in any event

The commission appointed by the Presi-
dent To investigate the subject of railway
mail transportation, il is understood, will
report i'm favor of the full restoration of the
fast mail service which was discontinued
because Congress, at its last session, refused
TO make the necessary appropriations. Their
conferences with the leading business men OF
the great cities have Convinced the members
of the commission that the fast mail service
is desired by the community generally, aud
when Congress once understands this fact IL
will no; probably hesitate TO make the neces-
sary appropriations. The Pennsylvania
Railroad company has agreed to replace the
fast mail train on its road on Monday next
and in consequence the eastern mail will be
received in Washington at p. IN. daily.

The correspondent of the Chicago Times
insists that his report of the interview with
Justice Miller did not "embroider'' or exag-
gerate what the Justice said in regard to Til
den and the democratic party. The corre-
spondent in question is a man of character
and veracity, but as he does not deny that
the views he represents as uttered by Justice
Miller were gathered in a casual street con-
versatiOn, il would seem probable, in view
of the Judges disclaimer. that he Judge Al }
was misunderstood

The Senate numbers among its members
several Senators who seldom trouble that
body either with speeches long or short, for
the reason that they are habitual absentees.
