ROYAL MARIoNErTEs. - Tonight
the famous Royal Marionettes will
open in National Guard Hall, Vir-
ginia. On Wednesday afternoon
they will give matinee. The troupe
is ono that is scarcely excelled in the
world, and the performances which
they give are 50 varied as not to be
tlring even to the most FESTIVE per-
son. aud So chaste and perfect in ar
tistic execution as to please the most
critical. The scenic effects are said
to be surprisingly fine, and the prop
erty which the troupe carry to pro-
duce them cost geo, 900 and weighs
Of tons. 1t is an immense thing.

PERSONAL APPIARANCE.-There 10
no longer 4 question that personal
appearance goes long way toward =
fellows getting along in the world.
Nothing helps to create good i'm
preston so much as neat dress, and
there is nowhere in these parts where
you can get just the thing you want
and just the thing suited to you as
at Brown s Co.'S, ~ South c street.
Call on them and see if this is not
as St. ted.

DEIaoHTFUL WEATHER. - The
weather for the past month has been
most agreeable. 1t is pleasantsr here
in Silver, perhaps, at this time, than
any where else on the coast. Every
one should try to enjoy the sunshine
of the day aud the bright clear and
bracing air Of the evenings AS much
as possible. for it will not be long
before We have u change.

The CoMISa HoLrDAY.-D Day after
Tomorrow will mark the threshold
Of the holiday season. The time will
have then arrived when the proud
gobbler and the circumspect goose
will each lay his head in abject hu-
initiation on the crimsoned block,
and await with awful struggles the
descent of the executioner's Ak. Then
also will have arrived the time when
delicious mince pies, made with all
the ingredients of spice and indi-
gestible concomitants. the sight of
which alone should make ordinary
stomschs tremble in trepidation, and
whose Illuminated crust should send a
thrill of horror though the nerves of
all persons whatsoever who are suit
ject to the bellyache-the time for
such food will have arrived with
Thursday morning ensuing. Nor
will 1t be time exclusively for din
ing. We are expected then and there
to send our thanks heavenward for
all the blessings vouchsafed during
the twelve months past by q consid-
crate Providence. Why does the
festal board figure so prominently in
our thanksgiving vacations9 Why is
the occasion made one for the slaugh-
ter Of innocent poultry to crafty
appetites whetted up, mayhap, for
the emergency Are people more in
. thankful mood after partaking of
hearty dinnerl Perhaps they are.
At any rate It has passed into an
aphorism that men (and women as
we'll, we presume) are more in humor
to grant favors after having dined to
their satisfaction than at any other
time or under any other circum-
stances. 1t might seem to some
that thank would ascend to the
proper place more easily in condi-
tioa of fasting amounting in part to
a sort OF penance. than otherwise.
But however this may be, the poet
told the truth when he said:
eve can live without lsvs. what is passion
bat rining,
dining"

E. W. Gowen and A. B. Stewart
returned homo from San Francisco
yesterday. The first named looks
much fresher than when he departed,
and brings with him from tho oceans
margin some Of that hue on his
cheeks which is begotten of temper
ate living, a clear conscience and sea
fog. Mr.. Stewart was also invigor-
ated BY his trip, and looks much the
better for IT. Besides replenishing
their store Of vitality, both gentle
men augmented their stock in trade,
and will hereafter he able to
conduct business on broader basis
oven than formerly.
We cannot close this notice of
these Of our townsmen without i'm.
proving the opportunity to say that
Tat men, contrary to rule that we
had firmly fixed in our mind from an
experience not at all circumscrib-
ed, sometimes get angry at tribes.
MIR. Gowsn, Immediately upon his
arrival, declared war upon the local
newspapers. The casus belli lay in
something that was published during
his absence slightly touching his
character for chastity. The article
that appeared in the TINS was evil
IDENTIFY never read to the close by Mr..
Gowen, for its concluding paragraph
was specially intended to check pub
lie opinion. Soon after his arrival
and declai alton of war, secret meet
ing was held of all the newspaper
men in the camp, during which the
necessity for sending abroad for
troops was intently discussed. 1t
was remembered with a particular
sense of horror how the unfortunate
burglar was slain with Mr.. Governs
own hand about tnree months ago.
1t was also feelingly called to mind
that the gentleman weighs over two
hundred pounds, and is we'll proper
toned. In view Of these intimidat-
ing circumstances, the assembled
warriors, through no feeling of COW.
ardics on their part, of course, con-
cluded to keep close for a few days
and see what wonld turn up. Mean.
while the public may as we'll he
prepared to hear the worst.
But all lightsome considerations
aside, aud the gentleman is not to be
blamed for his dudgeon. No jour
nalist but would feel hurt under the
circumstances. On one hand it is sim
ply the penalty Of enjoying some
what widespread reputation for being
an excellent fellow; on tho other, the
amenities of an equally arduous
and thankless calling. The poor
devil of reporter finds on one side
a hungry constituency of readers,
eagerly awaiting whatever of interest
he may gather for them, and ON the
other regard for the feelings of
possible victims. In the case in
question there was no ground at all
for imwola.ing = worthy man before
curious public. That fact was as
certained a posteriori. Hence there
is IN calm-minded equity no reason
for complaint.

A PEDDLER IN TRuUBLE.-A per-
son by the name of Russell, who
arrived in Silver on Saturday to turn
an honest penny IN the way Of SELL
ing jewelry, unsuspectingly fell into
the meshes of the law. On his arri-
val he enquired at a saloon for the
officer who collects licenses. The
officer was out of town, but the sa-
loon keeper told the man that lie
might go on and peddle, and take
out license when the officer should
be on hand to issue one The ped
dler did so. Meanwhile a third par
ty, who seemed to be actuated Who'll
ly by spite, swore out a warrant
against him and he was brought up
before Judge Gould to answer for
violating the law. Judge Gould adj
mitted the unlucky vendor of per-
sonaf ornaments to bail, when he
went to Dayton, procured license
dated a day back, and came into
court triumphantly. Under the cir
cumstances, the case had to be dis
missed. Under the circumstances it
was also small business to make the
complaint.

Surf 1oR DANAaEs.-George Will
son, administrator of the estate of
William Wilson, who was killed six
weeks ago by falling cable in the
Dayton mine, has brought suit against
the niue for 100000 damages. De-
ceased left wife and six children.
The case came up on Saturday morn
ing before Judge Rising, who, after
hearing the argument on demurrer,
sustained the demurrer to the dam
ages claimed for mental distress, but
ruled that the shift-boss should have
known the condition Of the cable.
The actual damages sustained will
be matter for jury to determine.
The evidence taken at the coroner's
inquest, AS will be remembered, was
voluminous and in parts conflicting.
The verdict of the jury, after Sec
ond convening and hearing of Wit
nesses, was in full acquittal of the
company. The question as to where
blanc, if any, should rest, is nice
one, and will interest miners especial
ly to note the progress of the trial
for damages, and hear the final de-
cisoion,

A NEw MErHoD.-The proprietor
Of one OF our lunch stands has been
driven to various expedients of late
t. collect his bills withal. Espec.
tally since election has passed and
the business collapse consequent
upon the close OF political campaign
has overspread the whole community
has he found the squaring up of &C.
counts for victuals consumed attend
ed with more than common trials.
Consequently he has discovered plan
at once new, effectual and awe.ln-
spring. 1t consists simply of ball
bat placed within handy reach, and
an accompanying announcement that
whosoever does not pay on the spot,
after he has finally folded his nap
kin, shall be Stayed without mercy.
The plan must have been borrowed
from the practice of the Southern
white liners. Systematic intimida-
ton in business affairs might be
more conducive to general prosperity
than intimidation in politics. II by
any means all bills could be made of
cash face value, the ends would JUS
tify the methods, perhaps, where the
latter did not involve manslaughtcr.

When Trade Dollar is or is Not a
Legal Tender.

The law makes the trade dollar le-
gal tender to the amount of five dol
lars, and the creditor who refuses to
accept it in that sum forfeits his claim
on the debtor. This is law and cam
not be avoided. But the law does not
and can not compel the grocer to take
a trade dollar for a dollars worth of
undelivered sugar. The trade dollar
is legal tender on a liability in
Cured, but it is not legal tender for
a service unrendered or a considera-
tion not yet received. If the custom
er tenders the baker five trade dollars
on account of bread already received,
the baker declines the tender at the
risk of losing his money. But if the
customer calls for one dollars worth
OF bread and tenders trade dollar in
payment therefor, it is optional with
the baker to accept or refuse it, and
no violation of the law is consequent.
If railroad companies collected their
fare at the end of the journey, they
would, if rendered, be compelled to ac-
cept trade dollars to the amount of
five dollars, but as they receive the
remuneration before the service, their
right to say whether they will receive
that remuneration in trade dollars at
ninety or one hundred cents on the
dollar cannot be disputed. In collect
ing freight charges after the service of
transportation has been performed,
we belive railroad companies must re-
ceive trade dollars in the amount to
which they are legal tenders under
the law. But the argument that the
vender must accept ninety cents for
an article or service, the price OF
which Is one dollar, is not sound and
will fail to convince any one giving
the subject due attention. The law
may say that trade dollar is legal
tender on a liability assumed, but it
cannot force such acceptance on con.
tract not yet consumated.

The Republican National Convention.
It Is Organized on an Apparently
Blaine Basis
An Exciting Time.

From the mass of telegraphic news
received yesterday and last night
from the Cincinnati Convention we
condense the following, which is the
gist and sum total of the whole affair
up to the hour of going to press:
Up to the moment of calling the
Convention to order, Blaine's friends
claimed that he had 290 or 800 votes,
and they expressed themselves conf
dent that he would receive the nomi-
nation on the second or third ballot.
At noon the Convention met in the
Exposition building and was called to
order by Governor ]. d. Morgan,
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee, who introduced Rev. DR..
Muller of Covington, KY, who made
prayer. Governor Morgan then made
a short speech, at the close of which
he nominated Hon. Thomas M. Pom
eroy of New York for temporary
L IcolucAl Vi tAC SOH NcAGlOus ul.
Pomeroy was elected and made long,
strong and enthusiastic Republican
speech. The temporary organization
was then completed and the Commit
tees withdrew to make up their re-
ports. A dispatch dated 3:45 P. NJ. an
nounced that the Committees had re-
ported, and that Hon. Ed. Mcpherson
of Pennsylvania, strong Blaine man,
has been elected permanent Chair
man of the Convention, which has
just adjourned.
Blaine stock continued to advance
steadily-his gains being made chief
ly from Morton. 1t seems to be gen.
orally conceded that he will be nomi-
mated to-day.

The Wherefore of It.

Some weeks ago the HERALD in an
article on Railroads in this part of the
State, incidentally mentioned the fact
that the Santa Monica railroad was
not and could not of itself be made a
paying investment. We did not then
give the reasons adducible in support
of the statement, because they were
so apparent that we supposed all un-
derstood and no one would dispute
them. The Evening Express, how
ever, either did not understand or
would not admit the facts and re-
sponded in an article intended to con-
vey the impression that the road was
paying a handsome profit, and that
our remarks had their origin in a de-
sire to injure both the road and its
owners. Nothing was further from
our thoughts. The read is but sixteen
miles long and does not connect with
any other road. The interior shipper
cannot receive his goods via Santa
Monica, for the reason that he will
impose on himself an extra expense
of carting his freight from one depot
to the other--a distance of half q
mile. If he does that he finds that
his freight charges on his goods from
