NIGHT DISPATCHES
PUTS AND Z
Failure Of a Heavy Stock Firm.


New YORK, Dec. 20.
The Evening Post says the firm OF
Meter Il Co. have notified the Stock Ex-
change of their inability to meet their
contracts. No failure has occurred in
Wall street for many months that has
caused more comment. The Post re-
Trains from publishing ugly rumors
respecting the failure until they are
proved established facts. This failure
precipited different stocks, checking
the advance In early dealings. The
firm was supposed to be wealthy and
did q large business in lending money
and in gold loans. They also sold
puts and calls, straddles and other
speculative privileges On stocks and
gold. After the failure was announced
the Office of the firm was crowded with
persons who hold these speculative
privileges: also with those who had
borrowed money oil time, inquiring il
their c~ollaterals were safe. The men,
bers of the firm came originally from
Cincinnati, and brought large
amount of money. The firm has
made an assignment. Neither Gabriel
nor Meter, who compose the firm, vas

THE LATE SENATORIAL FIGHT
IN CALIFORNIA.

A good many coast papers seem to
think that the election of Farley to the
United States Senate by the California
Legislature was q great blunder, and
n that will react d~isastrously on the
dominant party In that State. The
chief objection to him Is based upon
the assumption that he will prove the
plant tool Of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company. We doubt this. 1t is
unquestionably true that the Railroad
people helped Farley in his fight, but
the general impression among well-in-
formed politicians is. that they we're
canceling old scores rather than estab-
fishing new obligations. 1t will be
remembered that four years ago, in the
California Senate, Farley and Irwin
defeated what was known as the Free
man Freights and Fares bill. For this,
the Railroad Company agreed to assist
both politically. The people voted the
Freeman bill wrong when they voted
Irwin In as Governor. The debt of
gratituds incurred by the defeat of the
obnoxious Freights and Fares bill has
now also besn discharged by the Rail-
road Company In the case of Farley.
We are not inclined to believe that
the great corporation has other
'strings" on the newly elected Soma
tor. He helped the company to defeat
. sasur which was impracticable
and wrong 10 detail, ruinous alike to
the railroad and certain classes Of ship
pers, and now the company has helped
him to the S~snstorship. Honors N
therefore easy. Farley had reason to
support Of the mighty power
of the railroad, and 10 this be vas not
disappointed. We do not mean to say
the railroad spent money to further
his election. On the contrary the con-
test throughout is conceded on all
sides to have been q clean one In so far
- the actual disbursement OF money
WAS concerned. But the influence Of
the railway is all-powerfli and ALL
pervading. With tho main central
line, with its headquarters in Sacra-
mento and San Francisco. and branch
lines extending through both North

SECOND AND THIRD TENN CAM
D1DATES.

- hS
We have the authority of Lieutenant
Governor Jewett w. Adams for saying
that Governor Bradley Is a pronounced
candidate for Q third term. Tho Lieu
tenant Governor, in the same CONVEX
~atfon. modeslly intimated that he
should Also submit his claims for a re-
election. State Treasurer Schooling
and Attorney General Kittrell are I'm
derstood by their friends to be in the
Geld for another term each, The Gov.
ernor and his immediate following are
opposed to the SEPARATIONS Of those two
latter gentlemen-to Schooling, on the
third term issue, and to kittreli on
general principles. And right hero
comes to mind Q bit of Inconsistency
which might as well be set down ss we
70 along. The writer once upon a
time took occasion to announce the in
disputabie treth that, as a rule, politi-
cal platforms are not worth the paper
on which they are written. For that
he was soundly abused by the identi-
cal mon who now turn up in the role
of third-term advocates. We care
nothing about these small matters, but
people must maintain at least a SEM
blauce Of consistency, assume a virtue
II they have 1t not, or we shall
not hesitate to point out wherein they
fail to practice as they preach. II there
are to be third-term Democratic can
didates In Nevada, or elsewhere, then
the first thing in order, is to set to
work to burn up all of the old party
platforms running back through the
last seven or eight years. We have no
personal objection to any of the gen.
tlemen who come within this category,
but we must insist upon the strictest
political consistency, since that is the
measure by which they choose to
weigh the motives of other people not
less honest than they.
Controller Hobart, Secretary Minor
and General Day are said to lie third
termers on the Republican side. In
the stricter sense, the doctrine does not
apply in the case of Hobart, as he
seeks promotion, being DESTROYS of
skipping out OF the Controllers office
into the Gubernatorial chair. Clerk Of
the Supreme Court Bicknell, Judge
Hawley and Schoolmaster General
Kelly are all DESTROYS Of a second nib
BILE at the public crib Of the battle born
State. Like the Democrats, these off,
cials have all been faithful and efficient;
but we submit that il these State Offices
are worth anything-and they are all
fat, cozy billets-there are other good
men and true in the State, men in
every way as competent and we'll quail
fed. who are deserving of their emolu-
ments. There is no reason why one
set Of officials should be pensioned on
the bounty Of the State to the exclu-
sion OF other capable gentlemen. and
there Is certainly no spirit of fairness
entering into such a course. On the
contrary, rotation in Office is the fair
thing. Once il enough, twice is barely
e~xcusable, while a third or fourth term
becomes positively revolving to every
sense Of propriety. If we mistake not
the temper of the people Of Nevada,
the rallying cry will be, next summer,
rotation in Office. Rotate. gentlemen
Of the easy berths at the capital, rotate!

THE House proposition relating to the
electoral vote amounts to this: "The House

open the votes and to count them, and in case
the House is not satisfied with the result so
obtained, it shall be entitled to declare that
there has been failure 10 elect President,
and shall thereupon proceed to elect some
body else." The House when it is so minded
can reject electoral votes enough to prevent a
choice and then 60 to work and choose the
President. 1t can do so at every election if
it wish, and so take the choice altogether
from the people.

The Place.HunterS.


The only thing that will satisfy patriot,
says Junius, is place. Patriot as here un-
derstood by the English satirst is synono-
nous with the modern American Democrat,
whom nothing but Office will satisfy. All the
threats of revolution, the cries of injustice,
the Democracy mean office. Were it once
understood that Mr.. Tiden could not dis
possess the place-holders and make new
distribution of official faVors the clamor would
die away. But so long as food is in sight the
cry of the glutton will be heard in the land.
Nothing but fat salaries will assuage the
office-hunger of the Democracy.
The Democratic outcry is not terrifying,
but it's very annoying to those who long for
quiet lives. The Democrats though noisy
are peaceful set (the Northern ones at
leasD and though they will beg and
buster, whine and threaten, they will
not fight. They may steal an Office in
an emergency, but they will not attempt
highway robbery their will is good but their
courage is wanting. Still this continual cry
of theirs is distressing to hear. There are
among them common scolds to whose blllir gs-
gate we have been subjected for many years.
1t is a serious question how we shall rid our
selves of the nuisance. If the American
| people ''walley peace and quietness" as high
ly as did Punch's organ-grinder they will be
willing to pay considerable price to quiet
the Democratic patriots. Were not the nam-
ber of claimants so large offices might be
| created to satisfy them. Grit might be whis.
| pered about that in some foreign land three
million offices with large salaries attached
await occupants and that none but Ameri
cans need apply. Then Government might
make contract with the steamship compa
nies to carry the swarm. In consideration o
the large number OF passengers the carrying
rates would of course be made reasonably
low. But this remedy for the evil would bt
only temporary. The whole hungry throng
maddened by disappointment. would be bach
upon our shores IN few weeks. After al
the only effectual and lasting remedy seems
to be reformed evil service. The effecting
|! of that could not of course be entrusted tC
the men whose only interest is to get into
office. 1t must be entrusted to the party
the Republican, which has effected all the
great reforms in our late history.
