this is all done, it can be determined with

the tax payers are satisfied that every
thing has been cdOpe that can be done.
and see that the hand machine cannot
be made effectual, they will pay taxes
much more cheerfully to purchase new
machinery. Already the wisdom of in

made to the village last week. Because

invest in some new and improved fire

not put the machinery we have in the

this will be done without delay, so that
all may see just what it will do.

Turkish Affairs Growing Serious
Holy War Threatened The

LONDON, MAY III.
A more rigid censorship Of the press
has been established in Constantine.
pls. An order has been issued direct
ing all newspapers to be submitted to
the inspection and approval Of a cen
sor before publication.
It is reported that the Salonica af
fair causes a panic throughout Turkey.
The foreign ambassadors ut CONSTANT
nople have resolved to meet every day
to consider the state of affairs. The
Porte is Fastening military prepara-
tons against Montenegro. Twenty
fresh battaliCns have arrived at Sou
tart and five at Antiviri.
A Paris correspondent has received a
communication from a person OF IN
questionable authority, who considers
the fanatical movement in Salonica as
gaining i'm intensity. The corresponds
ent thinks the Salonica affair may be
the effect Of All agitation which has
been carefully fomented in view OF the
eventual necessity Of a holy war. He
says the Powers will take PROMPT
measures to prevent that which may
be ~foreseen.
A Times dispatch from Berlin says
Russia and Austria have placed their
men IF war in the Archipelago at the
disposal OF Germany in case there
should be any further attempt to mo-

For TILDEN.-The New York State
Convention presented Gov. Tilden as y
candidate for President, and the sev-
enty delegates from that State will cast
their united vote for him. The Geor-
gia Slate Convention also declared for
Tilden. Nevada did the same.
The above paragraph, from the Maine
Standard, is all right with the follow
lowing trifling exceptions: The New
York State Convention didn't indorse
Governor Tilden for the presidency;
the Georgia delegation is instructed
for General Hancock, and the Nevada
State Convention hasn't been held yet,
but will in all probability when it meets
instruct its delegates to vote for Allen
g. Thurman, who appears to he the
choice of Nevada's Democracy as
Bristow is the preference of the Re-
publicans.

At 4 O'Clock this morning, says Wed.
nesday's ReUeiiie, while a number Of
miners were coming off shift in the
Bowman incline, All accident occurred
by which two men were injured. There
were two men in the car, and three
riding on the rope, when a rope that
a. trailing behind the car got caught
in the ties of the track. The engineer,
noticing Il Stacking Of speed, put on
more steam, and the sudden jolt threw
the car from the track and bounced it
up against the roof of the incline. The
men in the car were not hurt, but two
of those riding ~ the rope were in
iured. Their names are Phil. Reilly
and William Collins. The injuries of
Collins are very tritling, but those of
Reilly are quite serious and painful,
though not dangerous. No blame is
attached to any person for the acct
dent.

Last Wednesdays Carson Appeal
contains the resolutions adopted by
the Democratic County Convention of
Eureka, relative to nonresident candi-
dates for delegateships to the st. Louis
Convention, upon which it makes the
following foolish and uncalled for
comments:
These resolutions are supposed to be
aimed ut Gen. Thomas II. Williams
and Henry X. Mitchell, both of whom
want to be delegates to the Democratic
National Convention from this State.
The preamble and resolutions were in
troduced by John Fl. Dennis, y part
ner of George w. Cassidy in the pub

Cassidy will represent Eureka in the
State Convention, and yet he Will la
Dor to elect H. X. Mitchell rs q dele
gate to st. LOUIS, the above resolutions
Of instruction to the contrary notwith-
standing.
The resolutions referred to were not
aimed At any particular persons but to
all non-residents of the State who as
pire to represent Nevada in the Ma
tional Convention; to which class we
are creditably informed Mr.. Mitchell
does not belong. 1t is true that we did,
some time ago, in an article in theSEN.
TrNRL, mention him in connection with
Williams, Sunderland, and q number
OF other Californians who had an
nounced their intentions of taking q
part in our local politics. We did
this under the impression that he
had left Virginia City and taken
up his residence permanently in San
Francisco. We have since, however,
been convinced that we were mistaken;
that after the fire in Virginia, which
destroyed his Office and library, he
went to San Francisco to spend the
winter; that he left with the avowed
intention of returning in a few
months; and that he has eve been
more than a sojourner in California.
We don't know whether Mr.. Cassidy
will support him in convention or not;

Mr.. Mitchell, who has in

vicinity, which, if successful, will ma

our district. Those who elected Mr..
Cassidy to represent them in the State
Convention, entertain no fears that he
will act against their instructions, and
we can perceive no necessity for the
