The Virginia Chronicle, a violent Ad-

gresham Wren rather vigorously in
consequence Of his attitude toward the
Hayes wing OF the Republican party
- expressed in his late interview with
. SENTINEL reporter. We are not
fighting Mr.. Wren's battles. but we
feel like saying to our Democratic o
temporary Of the Comstock, that it
might bs just ~ we'll to allow these
b~elligersnt Republicans to claw
q each other to their hearts
content. Having alluded to the
Chronicles article on our towns
man, the home readers of the SENTI-
MEL will, of course, have their curios
ity excited to know what 1t contains,
and 30 we reproduce the subjoined ex
tract:
Congressman Wren, of Eureka, has
discovered that 1t Is not In harmony
with individual liberty or the com
mon rights OF citizenship for . Federal
on1ceholder to be prevented from de-
voting his time to political jobbery,
and neglecting the work which
the people pay him . salary to
perform. MIR. Wren may not
claim to have made the discov-
cry, seeing that the same objection
which he raises sbss passed current
among all the old-line machine Re
publicsns since the Presidents civil
service order Was issued; but Wren
pipes It OF ~ though he had n patent
Tor 1t. On Sunday he will HE him
from the furnace fumes OF Eureka to-
ward the National Capital. We may
console ourselves with the knowledge
that when he gets there he 10 but one

not likely to duplicate his voting
power by the development Of any
0vorshadowinR influence. We had
some hopes that Mr.. Wren would

Sincs October, 1876, the Bullion
Mining Company, IN the Comstock,
hos collected $500, 900 in assessments,
equal tn % per share. The manage
won't 10 said to have bsen irst. class.
and we only stste the figures TO show
that Il costs money To prospect mines
IN Nevads. This same thing has been
going on with the Bullion for sixteen
years. We do not know that the mine
has always been worked 50 thorough
~ and extensively, but assuming that
the expenditure have averaged one
half the amouut Of the past year, and
We still have for the sixteen years, the
enormous total Of 1900. 900. Nor is
this all. The mine has never, We be :
lisve, produced enough ore to pay for
oiling the machinery. II Is, however,
eligibly located, and the prospects
have always been sufficiently encour
aging to justify the continued prosecu
lion Of operations. At yesterdays
Suota,ions, the property is worth ST.
seO,000. It cost, as We have
shown, 200. 900; of course, the same
shareholders have not been interested
all the way through. But, suppose
they had, would It not follow that
they stood to-day $4,000. 900 out of
pocket. Suppose, again, that the
Bullion should TO-. morrow strike a
bunch OF ore and take out $4,000, or
any other sum, in bullion. Under the
present mining tax law the company
would be compelled to pay taxes on
Il Just the saine n though the mine
had been yielding Its stockholders
large dividends during all the past
sixteen years. And yet there are rat
tis-brsin theorists who persist IN call
ing our present bullion tax law a just
and wise scheue for the collection of
. reasonable tar on the net proceeds
of the ntines. just think of it. and then
wonder why It IL that there are not
more people in u insane asylum.
