decrease the strength of others who

Hon. JAMES q. BLAINE, the most
prominent member of the Republican
party in Congress, was stricken down
in the vestibule of a church in the
City Of Washington, last Sunday, just
as he was about to enter it in compa-
ny with his wife. 1t was at first
thought that the attack was apoplectic,
but it subsequently, proved to be
"sun stroke" which is not uncommon
at this season Of the year. especially
to men who are robust like Mr.. Blaine.
The distinguished gentleman laid for
five hours in an unconscious state, but
recovered soon after that, and is i'm
proving gradually all the time. His
attack was partly attributed to the
mental excitement under which he
has labored for several weeks, during
the Congressional investigation which
he has undergone, and the excitement
incident to his attempted nomination
for the Presidency by the Republicans
at Cincinnati. Had he been an ordi.
nary citizen, there would have been
no undue alarm or talk about the sim
pie "sun stroke" he received. The
American people are excitable. how'
ever, and delight in sensation, and
the Bohemians of the press were
bound to create as much noise and
tattle about this matter as possible. In
all sincerity, we hope the gentleman
will fully recover, and be able to 60
through with the investigation.

CHINESE CITIZENS.

Three or four Cinnamon, residents
of San Francisco. have declared their
intention to become citizens of the
United States. The Burlingame ATTY
accords the Chinese all the rights and
privileges of the most favored nations,
and they seem to have just discovered
that there is nothing in the laws of the
country to prevent them from becom-
ing. citizens in the same manner as
white aliens. There is no, particular
cause for alarm in this at present, yet
it is within the power of the Chinese
to become citizens and play an impor-
tant part in elections aud legislation on
the coast. A few corporations with
thousands of naturalized Chinese in
their employ could dictate terms to the
people, and elect their own officials
and legislators instead of purchasing
them, as is now the custom.

billion, two hundred and seven mil

thousand, nine hundred and twenty

almost beyond comprehension. The
interest runs away up in the millions,
and, as it is payable in coin. it takes
almost the entire product of the
country to pay it. Much of this debt
is helds by European capitalists. and q
continuous stream of coin is flowing
out of the country to pay the interest
omit. 1t is idle to talk about specie
resumption, when the Government has
not more than enough coin on hand to
pay the interest on what it owes.

argued before Judge Wheeler, on .

Justice Wallace OF the Supreme Court,

The case involves the right of q police
judge, or other authority. to sentence
persons to imprisonment without trial

Conner, confined in an industrial
school, where he was sent by the
Police Judge in regular form.
The question is one OF such impor-

question was so grave, and the practice
had been followed so long without be-
ing questioned, that he would have to
ask that briefs be filed, that he might
have time to consider the matter.

1t so happens among natural events
that the only available route for freight
ing at all seasons of the year from the
Central Pacific Railroad to Northern
Nevada and Idaho Territory is from
Winnemucca. This assertion is founded
on what experience has proved to be
facts. In the'spring of 1870 the Idaho
stage and Silver City freighting bust
ness was transferred from Winnemucca
to Elko by some influence which the
Elko people brought to bear on the
stage company and merchants of Silver
City. The road over which the stage
md freight teams travelled was that
which nov leads from Elko to Cornu-
sopia. The winter following the trans
fer the road became impossible for
teams. a. it nearly always is in the win
ter season. and stages and freight teams
returned to Winnemucca, from which
place they still continue to travel to
idaho at all tinss in the year. This
bit of history is rehearsed for the benefit
ldf the Elko Independent. which says
"'the Winnemucca folks persist in an
nouncing the EIko road as impossible
during the winter. y" As it has not been
two weeks since the Independent stated
in its local columns that Woodruff and
Enner's stage from Cornucopia to Elko
was snow bound aud the driver was
compelled to leave the hind wheels and
body of the wagon in a snow drift, an
impartial observer would conclude that
the Winnemucca folks were about right.
We suggest to the Independent that in
stead of INDUCING in growls at Winnie
mucsa it should turn its attention to
