WANTS RELIEF AND SHOULD EAvE IT,
John A. Thompson OF Alpine County,
California, known by his exploits as
Snow-shoe Thompson. is in this city at
present. He was occupied yesterday in
obtaining signatures TO petition asking
Congress to pay him the modest sum of
six thousand dollars for his services as u
mail carrier across the Sierra. Twenty
years ago Thompson begun toiling Oh
spow-shoes across the mountains be-
tween here and California carrying the
mails. Some idea of the rapi,lity Of his
gait is conveyed in the statement that he
he used to make the 30 miles between
Geneo and Piacerville in less than two
DAYS travel. As the greater part OF our
readers know, he travelled on the long.
runuer-like Norwegian snow shoes.
When Chorpennins bad a contract for
carving the mails Thompson opened
and kept open the road for him, using
his cattle to do the work with. When
Chorpenning failed Thompson was
one among the many who never
got q cent. remuneration for his SER
n
sry last gone, Thompson carried the
mails from Woodford to Silver Noun
tain. He has been necessity to mail
delivering between Nevada aud Caiifor-
MIA any time these twenty years. The
sum lie asks for AS \ remuneration tor
his hard earned services is but trltie
compared with what his services were
worth. 4 bill to pay him the sum asked
for should become 4 law without delay
and without opposition, and We hope 1t
NAV be pressed and passed by the Neva-
da and California delegations i'll the
Senate andlIouse of Representatives.

The FCSERAL Of Mr. Elmund NJ
Howe took place yesterday. Ii was
conducted under the auspices of the
Order OF Masons. The sudden shock
of death has been rarely felt SO deeply
in our little community AS in this ill.,

ously attended and We're conducted with
an impressive solemuity.

\oEou> who knows anything about
the Herald will accuse il of" Radical
ism or any leaning to the side of the
Republican cause; still! we lind the
following statement III its issue of
February ;:
A number OF disabled MON sol
diers have been removed from the
little places they held in the Post
Office of the House OF Representa-
tives. We gave a list Of their names
the other day. We have not heard
that they have been reappointed.
Will not Mr.. Speaker Kerr make haste
to tell the Postmaster OF the House
that he must put these men back :?
There is All indecency i'll this sum
mary kicking out OF these petty places
of the poor fellows who spoiled their
lives in the service of the Union. We
do not SUI. pose that the democratic
leaders would like to be held respon-
sible for it, but if the men are not put
back soon the public will put the
failure upon them.

ABOUT SIX O'CLOCK last evening il
began to rain in desultory way. The
ragged remnants Of the storm which has
been drerching California reached over
the Sierra. After a half hour or SO the
rain, which had made the blotched face
Of poor bedraggled Mother Nature look
ludicrously sorry, gave way to snow
and as the snow came down upon the
mud and the bepuddled earth, it made
something the nastiest state of things
underfoot that we have experienced in
all these long and weary weeks of dreary
winter. Last summer and fall when we
were heated and busted and baked and
dried up by the longest unbroksn spell
Of hot and cloudless weather that any
body ever saw, the land, for once. was
filled with real, truth-tellinS prophets.
They all agreed. to man. that we were
going to have tough winter. Nobody
even put in qualifying perhaps So
Not even the most critical and captious
vsntured Il dissenting guess not - all
were agreed. We do not know So well
about Prof. Tyndall's prayer gauge. but
we do begin to believe that when every
body sets himself up as q prophet and
all hands agree i'll their representations
things will come as they are predicted.
If not what's the use of saying and be-
lieving that What everybody says must
be true

upon principle 10 the employment of
that class of labor. we are aware of the
futility OF attempting TO oppose it, for
SO long As it is cheaper and can be made
more profitable to contractors. Just SO
long will their services receive the pre-

The remedy lis not in local opposition;
nothing less than national interference

We look upon the whole affair with
