The Hamburg Outrage.

We feel assured that we but
echo general public sentiment
when we declare the late proceed
ing at Hamburg South Carolina,an
objectionable outrage upon hui
manity. That such things are
possible, in IL country like ours,
proves beyond all doubt that the
localities in which they occur, are
far from being under salutarv rule.
That the carpet-bagging govern
ment of South Carolina should
produce such fruits, is only natur-
al. Thattherc should be outrage
and lawlessncss there, is only Il
legitimstc consequence. With a
Government, the worst one inilicl-
cd upon any State, the real cause
for surprise Is, that such shameless
doings should be of rare occurrence.
A State controlled for eleven years
by the vary worst elements of
white and negro supremacy, can
scarcely be expected 10 present Il
record that wiIl be creditable.
But Tor all that, the time las come,
when every ma1, pos scsSed OF the
commone,t instincts Of humanity,
should firmly and determinedlyput
his foot down upon all such a;roci-
tics. More than that, the govern
ment of the States in which they
occour, should rise to the level OF
the situation, and without regard
to anything. save the conservation
of justice, take such measures rs
will not only bring the guilty to
punishment. but in the future, pro-
tect all Glasses against similar out
RACES.
That the negroes were the ag-
gressors at Hamburg is not dis
puted. That they shed the blood
of white man is admitted, but
even such Il provoeation did not
warrent subsequent proceedings.
Had there been in South Carolina
such administration of law as there
should, no such heartlcss massacre
would have been possible. But
those who are familiar with the
government oi'that Statewill, with
out difficulty. reach.thc only right
ful concession that bad government
and lawlcssnes, are twin compan-
ions always.
10 assume that hi. outrage is
Characteristic OF the south, or that
there j. there any general dis.
position TO maltreat the negro, is
as unjust and unwarrantablc aS il
would be to charge the Mollie Ma
grire outrages in the coal regions
upon the people ofthe entire State
Of Pcnnsylvina. 1t was the work
Of Il fricnzied mob, and, although
without shadow of justification,

A canal through the Panama Isthmus
was for many years seriously contem-
plated by the late Napoleon. From per-
sonal observation and survey. he saw its
advantage and feasibility, but the dis
astrous summer of 1870 put an end to all
the projects Of his brain. The hero Of
the Suez Canal, Ferdinand de Lesseps,
has associated with him some ten or
twelve other scientific men, great Gen.
erals in the army of peace. and proposes
to send over an exploring expedition. 1t
is their settled purpose to select route
and commence the work if it can be
done. This should BIS an American
work, put through from inception to
completion by American engineers, and
backed by American capital, but il out.

orr STAPLE PRODUCT.

Silver Is now at the lowest price
ever known to history. Tw1 hundred
and fifty years before Christs pound
OF gold brought only ten pounds
Of silver. Under julius Cesar. nine
pounds Of silver was worth one pound
in gold. At the discovery of America.
the proportion was as IL TO l and for
the next three hundred and fifty years i.
was about 1875 to /. France, Italy.
Belgium aud Switzerland have law in
force at the present day. making
pound Of gold equal in value to Is
pounds OF silver. The real relation
under the present extraordinary de.
probation is as to 1917. London is
the great market for silver, for the
reason that it is the principal depot of
supply for the Eastern trade. and the
Eastern nations with commendable re-
gard for Nevada's interests. accept no
payment except in silver. The present
depression is far-reaching in its results.
The Indian Government has already
lost $40 900, 900 in its exchange opera.
tions on account Of drafts sold to meet
their English Indebtedness. The bot
tom seems to have dropped out. The
late sudden depreciation represents a
loss to India and China, of over one
hundred millions Of dollars. more than
our aggregate prodoction for whole
year. Germany is the cause of the
break and there is certain amount OF
comfort in the knowledge, that she
loses heavily by the operation. Our
government made as huge blunder a
few years ago by taking away from
silver the legal tender quality it then
happily possessed. and unless it takes
speedy action by favorable legislation
towards Senator Jones bill, the disaster
will be almost irreparable. 1t is the
most serious question that has been
before the people Of Nevada since it has
existed. Nobody cares to invest in
losing business and il mining doesn't
pay, 1t will be temporarily discontinued.
The times are not "hard," they are
simply dull, and will be duller, unless
something is done speedily.
