fairness unparalleled in the history OF
this State. But what is worse than all
Is the retaking unto itself, by the Re
publican party of Nevada, of the un
clean thing it had been so happily rid
of by the transfer of the prison to the
hands of the Democracy. The Demo-
cratic party has reason to congratulate
itself upon being relieved of its deep
est and sorest and most irritating cause
of annoyance and apprehension. By
an act illustrating the most mistaken
policy, the Republican party, through
a sufficient number of its members to
pass the so-called Warden bill, has
dissected away from the body of the
writhing Democratic patient tumor
which threatened its very life, and
transferred it, hot with its seeds of
disease and death, to the very vitals of
the Republican organization. We be-
lieve that the vote of yesterday was a
most lamentable and egregious mis-
take, and we wish it were not too late
to have it recalled and rectified.

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH CUT
L.ERY.

tits a great triumph for American
manufacturers of cutlery to be able to
compete successfully with the cutters
of famed Sheffield; but the admission
by the Sheffield men, themselves, that
thew are thus surpassed, and that the
Yankees have shown more ingenuity
and enterprise in the making and
admiration of labor saving machinery,
than they, is a greater triumph still.
The past quarter century has rubbed
oil many a rough corner from our once
unpublished Uncle Sam: and he has
much profited by his experience and
the criticisms to which he has been
subjected. When Sidney Smith asked,
in the full scorn of literatteur whose
unriyalled wit had been soured by the
reverses of a financial venture having
its incentive in the promise OF rich re-
turns in interest-money upon certain
Pennsylvania bonds, ."who reads an
American book ?" purposely forget
full as he was, in his uncandor, that
Washington Irving was New orker
bo,p and bred, tho manufacturers OF
birmingham and Sheffield little
thought to live to see the day when
the Yankees would undersell their
cotton fabrics and be the victors in
contest for the supremacy in the busi-
hess of making and selling knives and
forks, forceps and planes, saws and
corkscrews, scalpels and gimlets. But
our abundance of land and of raw ma
,erials, of coal and ores. of cheap labor
and the inventive genius have told, at
last; and so the telegraph, itself one
of the proudest triumphs OF American
ingenuity and enterprise, brings US
the following statement of very nota-
lille conclusion and confession reach ed
and expressed in the heart OF the
manufacturing district of Great Brit
ain:
Al the annual meeting Of the Shelf
field Chamber of Commerce, to-day,
the President said the Sheffield manu-
tacturers and workmen had only
themselves to blame for the loss OF
trade with America and successiul
American competition with foreign
countries. The Sheffield workmen
had not come up 10 the make and style
reouired bv customers. Mandeiia,
member Of Parliament from Sheffield,
said American competition was sue
cessful because the Americans eX-
celled in the Iapidity of their adoption
If labor-saying machinery. If peace
WAS preserved, English trade had
nothing to fear, and in any case the
EnolisR colonies furnished the most
promising market. Mandella referred
to the importation of American oeei
as q great benefit to England, and
striking instance of what enterprise
and invention could do.

LIBERTY OF THE FRENCH
PRESS.

The telegraph informs us that the
publication of the newspaper. Les
DrOifs de rHomme in Paris has been
prohibited for six months, and its
editor sentenced to three months
imprisonment for insulting the
President of the Republic and justi-
fying the Commune. If such law
were to be enforced in this country,
what a stir would be made! Three
months in Jail for insulting the
President of the country, and edit
ors and reporters would crowd every
prison in the land. In France the
liberty of the press is narrowed and
circumscribed, it is kept in subjec-
ton by the party in power, it has
little in common with the people at
large. There can be but little
criticism of public men and their
actions, the laws when once made
must be acquiesced in by all, there
must be an absolute power IN the
land. Here in America the very
opposite obtains. No restrictions
whatever are found, the liberty OF
the press is supreme in its bearings.
Men and measures are alike
scrutinized by the critics of the
press, and the good and the bad are
alternately praised and blamed. 1t
would be better if editors in general
were held more responsible for their
writings, for a man maligned in the
public print should have his rights
as we'll as man defrauded in private
life. The strictness of France is
not to be admired, but compromise
between the rules in force in that
country and the customs which are
practiced in America could not fail
to benefit the press at large, and
make its sphere more efficient in the

Mr.. Speaker: desire the reconsider
alton of this bill and desire it so that
may be able to do myself justice in this
matter. On the day this bill passed l
voted for it. and 1 wish the members
here to know just why I so voted. As to
this bill I now am and always have been
opposed to its passage, believing it to be
an unwise and iniquitous measure, and
so had determined to record my vote
against it. But on the morning that it
was to be acted upon I received inform
alton so direct and positive as to pre-

Bradley had said that if the delegation
from Eureka did not vote for the passage

that no such sacrifice of principle can be
Justly demanded by my people. And.

which did. in my judgment. control not
only my own. but other votes on this

TRANSFERRING THE tt NOR.

There are many of us whose whole
political education has been derived
from our observation and experiences
on the Pacific Coast. Inseparably con-
nected with that method and course OF
education has been our acquaintance
with such prison systems as these ne"
States have offered. The history OF
the Penitentiary of California does not
afford many encouraging incidents
ald examples. The days of the Es-
tells and the McCauleys were not
Astounding in the sweeter and more
assuring influences Of purity and hon
est dealing in the government and
intimate objects of prison life. A more
vexatious problem than those which
grew out of the contracts, leases, sales,
trades and transfers relating to San
Quentin, its walls, its brick-yards, Its
shop.. its beef bills and its Wardens,
no man was ever plagued with, no
community was ever more deeply
scandalized by. The State Prison Dis
ease has seemed to be contagious. Ii
scaled the Sierra even before the first
ipcursion hitherward of any Norway
rats. 1t has spread and bred and fes-
tered. ever since the Territory OF Ne
vada purchased the present prison site
from Abraham Curry. For six years
the Republican party was represented
in the conduct and control OF that jail.
A more pitiable failure, more grew
Gus burden upon the State than that
whole system, could not easily be i'm
agined. Then came a change. Inc
democrats succeeded to the ownership
of the elephant-an elephant whose
color was not at all white or pure.
The new Democratic Warden was not

pass q law oustlng him. He would

mander-in-chiefo of the military forces

and Lieutenant Governor Denver was
rotated out of Office at the point OF the

the instability Of the conditions OF

essential to the prosperity of the State
and the effectiveness Of its executive
department, q quarrel was breeding
which was destined to replace the
Geuius Of Misrule by the bitter Cen

HOW A BROKER EARNED $50.

Mr. William Barker, well-known brok-
er of New York city, stepped into the Of
flee of downtown soap manufacturer,
few days since. and complained of the
dullness of business. II Can make it live
ly for you." said the soap-man, II can put
you in the way of making fifty dollars in
fifteen minutes; but know you would back
out" 'Show me the chance" said the
broker, land if back out will give you
five thousand dollars" "Well, said .the
soap-man, II will give you fifty dollars if
you will take one OF my large advertising
signs, put 1t on your breast, carry it up
Wall street from Pearl street to Broadway,
and return"
Mr.. Barker picked up the sign, adjusted
it. and sailed into the street. Upon the
sign were large picture of a negro wo-
man washing clothing, and the words
Higgins Soap is the Best" The sight
of a well.known broker, of mature years,
carrying soap sign, caused great aston
ishment in Wall street. Mr.. Barker had
not walked three blocks before hundred
men and boys were at his heels, and when
he started on the home stretch the crowd
had increased to fully five hundred. Boot
blacks. newsboys and Wall street messen-
gers shouted and cheered, and brokers
rushed from their offices to the street to
ascertain the cause OF the excitement.
In exactly fifteen minutes Mr.. Barker
reported al the soap mans Office, and was
paid his fifty dollars. AS he pocketed the
money and wiped his forehead, he ex-
| claimed-"l would not carry that sign
again in Wall street for ten thousand"

A BISHOPS EXPERIENCE.

The following anecdote, in which Bish.
op simpson figures quite conspicCously,
will be read with interest: Soon alter his
election to the eplscopacy in 1852 he ar
rived at Lancaster on Saturday afternoon.
On Sunday morning he set out from his
hotel TO find the Methodist church. On
his way he inquired of one of the men,
bers about the church, and the informa-
tlon was elected that the bishop preached
sometimes. He was introduced in the
vestibule to MIR. Bishop, the pastor. as
Brother Simpson. local preacher from
Piltsburg. Mr.. Bishop asked if he would
preach Tor him, and on receiving a reply
IN the affirmative the pastor, tearing
failure, said that it would be better for him
to preach in the evening, and that he
would make the announcement in the
morning The bishop divining the cause.
declined, but offered TO relieve him from
his first invitation. The manner in which
the opening exercises were conducted re-
lieved him from apprehensions. A heav-
emily influence rested on the congre cation,
and every soul was melted and carried
away on the tide of exultant joy. Mr..
Bishop felt that after such torrent of elo-
quence he could not close with prayer.
While the collection was being taken up
the following colloquy took place: "Are
you travelling preacher ?" ''Yes; have
been an itinerant for several yeas, and
now travel very large circuit" ''What
conference do you belong TOP" II did be-
long TO the Pittsburg, but cannot say
that am attached to any particular con-
ference" "What did you say your name
was ?" Simpson! Not Bishop Simpson ?n
why, they call me bishop sometimes"
In great excitement, Mr.. Bishop rose and
exclaimed, II have the pleasure to an
nounce to the congregation that the elo-
quent preacher who has addressed as this
morning is Bishop Simpson. ."-Putsturg

WASHINGTON AND The CON,H SHELL
BUTTONS.

1t was possibly during his stay in New
York in 1879 that Washington began to
wear on his coat the conch-shell buttons,
now in possession of Captain Lewiss
daughter. A new fashion in dress, intro
duced by president, is worthy of record,
especially when there is an interesting
story connected with it. This story, relat.
ed by Robert Lewis, illustrates two strik.
ingly characteristic traits of Washington
generosity and economy.
A needy sailor with a wheelbarrow of
sheets accosted the General on the street,
and holding up number of conch-shells,
implored him to buy them. Washington
listened with sympathy to the story of his
sufferings and want, and kindly replied
that he would buy them if he could In any
way make use of them. Necessity per-
haps sharpened the sailors wits. and be
promptly suggested that they would make
lovely buttons for his velvet coat. The
General doubtless smiled at the ingenious
proposal, but agreed to try them.
Carrying home his ocean treasure OF
pink shells. he sent for a button. maker to
know If he could manufacture a useful
article out OF the pretty playthings with
which he found himself encumbered The
workman replied he could make the but
tons if he could find an instrument sharp
enough to pierce them. Washington
would have nothing useless about him. and
so the shells were delivered to the manu-
iacturer. who in due time returned
them to him in the shape of con
cave buttons, a little larger than quarter
of a dollar, with a silver drop in the GEN.
ire hiding the spot where the eye is fas.
tened beneath. The President then aston
ished the Republican court by appearing
in coat with pink conch-shells buttons
sparkling on its dark velvet surface.
Eighty years ago, it seems. fashion ruled
in the hearts, or over the costumes. of men.
and women. just as it does now,-iopCap-
tain Lewis bears testimony that conch-
sell buttons Immediately became the rage.
The shell-venders' and button makers for
tunes were made by the Generals passion
for utilizing everything that came into his
possession. for May.
