Somebody has been reviving, in
Harper's Monthly, the famous debate
in the U. S. Senate on the 26th of Jan
uary 1880 between Daniel Webster and
Robert Hayne of South Carolina, over
he Foot resolutions. The peroration
of "the Godlike " is given. We here
with reproduce it for the benefit of our
visiting and resident statesmen and
students:
81 have not allowed myself, Sir, to
lock beyond the Union to see what
might lie hidden in the dark recess
behind. / have not coolly weighed
the chances of preserving liberty when
the bonds that unite us together shall
be broken asunder. I have not accus-
toned myself to hang over the preci-
pice of disunion to see whether, with
my short sight, can fathOm the depth
Of the abyss below; nor could l re-
gard him as a safe counselor in the
affairs OF this government whose
thoughts should be mainly bent on
considering not how the Union may
might be the condition of the people
when 1t should be broken up and de
stroyed. While the Union lasts we
have high, exciting, gratifying pros
poets spread out before us for us and
our children. Beyond that l seek not
to penetrate the veil. God grant that
in my day, at least, that curtain may
not rise God grant that on my vision
never may be opened what lies be-
yond! When my eyes shall be turned
to behold for the last time the sun in
the heaven, may 1 not see him shin
ing on the broken and dishOnOred
fragments of a once glorious Union
on States discovered, discordant, bel
ligerent on a land rent with civil
feuds, or drenched, it may be, in fra
ternal blood! Let their last feeble and
lingering glance rather behold the
gorgeous ensign of the republic, now
known and honored throughout the
earth, still full high advanced, its
arms and trophies streaming ill their
original lrstre, not stripe erased or
polluted, not single star obscured,
bearing for its motto no such misera-
BILE interrogatory 80 "What is all this
worth ?" nor those other words Of de-
fusion and folly, "Liberty first, and
Union afterward,' but everywhere,
spread all over in characters of living
light, blazing on all its ample folds as
they float over the sea and over the
land. and in every wind under the
whole heavens, that other sentiment,
dear to every true American heart
Liberty and Union, now and forever,
one and inseparable."

The present winter is remarkable in
England for unusual symptoms OF
early vegetation; and this is still more
the case in France, where in some dis
tricts the season appears, by all reports
to be several weeks in advance. One
of the French papers has taken tho
trouble to refer to the records of past
centuries for examples of like abnor-
NAL winters, and gives the following
instances Of premature springs: In the
winter of 1888 the fruit trees in France
were in bloom in December, and the
Wins in February. In the winter Of
l2sS violets picked in the meadows on
the banks of theRhinewere sold in the
streets of Cologne. Cornflowers were
seen in February, and the vine was in
blossom upon the hillsides of the
Moselle in the month of April. In
1872 the trees were covered with leaves
in January. and the young birds were
Matched in February. In 1921 there
was a general Towering of shrubs and
plants in February. In 1858 there was
neither snow nor frost. In 1882 the

heat was extraordinary in December.
There were thunder storms as IN Au-
gust, and everything was in blossom
in January. In 1921 the temperature
was singularly mild; green peas were
in flower in December, and the rye
was gathered in before the Gath OF
June. The vine harvest was one OF
the most remarkable Of the present
century. The winter of 1857 is tho last
which can be placed on the list OF
''spring winters"
Mary Paul of Cincinnati had an appe-
tite for alcohol that she could not mas
ter. She tried hard to reform, and her
husband told her, finally. that if she ever
got drunk again he would separate from
her. She kept sober for awhile, but at
length. finding that she could not resist
any longer. she drank glass of brandy.
But she put arsenic in the brandy, and
died Of the poison.

THE WRECK OF THE CONTINEN
TAI.

When the tidings came of the sus-
pension of the Continental Life Insur-
ance Company we had little faith that
ANYTHING would be saved to the policy
holders from the wreck; and as devei-
opments of its affairs are made, the
more evident does it become that our
first surm'ses were only too we'll
grounded. When the knaves at whose
mercy the Company and its trusting
patrons are shown to have been, found
that more was to be made for them by
the failure of the concern, than by
continuing its legitimate business,
they began to perfect their plans for
making the failure complete; and the
sequel shows that they knew with a
fatal certainty of diabolism how to
proceed and what lodges to invent
and play in order to facilitate their
larcenous purposes. Investigation
into the affairs of the Continental Life
Insurance Company" says well in
formed Eartern contemporary, "seems
to show some exceptional proceedings
bv the late executive officers, includ-
ing the President, Frost, by which the
latter pocketed some ninety thousand
dollars as 'commuted commissions
The testimony shows also that the
vault was entered on Sunday and pa
pers, supposed to be of value were OBJ
tanned by Frest and others. Over
100000 of mortgages were to be trans
ferred to the New Jersey Mutual, and
q largo amount of the exploded En-
pire company were found, for which
full prices had been paid. Judge Full
lerton testified that as counsel he had
recovered SlO2, 600 worth of securities,
but 1914, 900 could not be found. W.
z. Grace, the new receiver, took pos
session Wednesday," Misfortunes
never come singly. This Company,
which has degenerated from the posi-
ton of first rate security to that OF
hopeless and shameless swindle, was
q prime fayorite in Western Nevada.
The number of its policies held here
surpasses that of all other companies
together and now with the crash in
stocks and the general depression in
business and in the money market,
this collapse is a calamity of most
disheartening nature. We doubt if
anything save care, anxiety and
trouble will ever be realized to the
confiding policy holders of this once
Understanding corporation.

DON PIATT-S AKTICLE.

While the liberty of the Press is pro.
badly greater in America than in any
other country in the world. yet there is
Q limit even hero beyond which it is not
possible with impunity to 60. and that
limit has recently been transgressed by
one Don Piatt in Washington. If he is
. Democrat and is not pleased with the
actions of the Electoral Commission then
his right to express his opinion il the
matter is undenied, but when he writes
IN inoendiary article, calls upon the
people to act at once in the matter. and
covertIy counsels assassination for the
accomplishment of his end, then he is
properly amenable to the law, and the
Republicans would be aerelict in duty If
they should allow him to escape unpun-
ished. For far more moderate article
against the party in power. Don Piatt
would have been imprisoned in Germany
or France, while in Russia or Spain 10
would probably have paid for his indis-
erection by the loss Of his head. 1t lily
suits the Democracy to condemn the
Commission at all. for it is . child of
their own creation, but when the Editor
Of the Capital txansgresses all bounds OF
Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1877-02-22

propriety and right, then it is time fol-
his opposers to utter their protest, and
act in accordance with the matter in
hand. Apropos of this subject we are
glad to find that prosecution has
been determined upon, and that the ac-
cused is to be indicted for libel and sedi-
tious writing. Fearing conviction he
has since written a card advocating his
cause End denying the charge that assas-
sination Was counseled. The President
seems to be greatly in earnest IN the
matter, and it is probable that due pun
ishment will finally be meted out to the
offender.

WESTINGHOUSE BIRTHDAY.

Nothing can be said which may bet
ter express the reverence with which
the name of Washington is cherished
by the American people than to men
ton the still continued recognition and
observance of his birthday. The
event is recognized not only by the
common law of universal consent, but
by formal statutory enactment, as
we'll. This and one other, are the only
birthday anniversaries kept and cele-
brated by this people. That other one
is the birthday of the Saviour of the
world; this is the birthday of the Saw
Jour of his country. Let the recogni-
ton of each be perpetuated. One year
Feb. II, 1866, we think it was-the
people of Western Nevada celebrated
with appropriate ceremonies, the an
niversary of the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln, But the honor thus offered
seems not to have become either
universal or a customary tribute. We
do not believe in forcing such Obser-
yances upon the people by the siren
nous appliance of law statutes; but we
do think that the people would be DO
ing themselves an act Of justice were
they to demand at the hands OF their
representatives some expressive enact
ment whose purport should be, that
Lincoln's birthday. the anniversary OF
the coming into this world OF the pur-
est and iustest patriot since Washing
ton, is worthy of grateful nations
respectful observance. The memories
of Washington and Lincoln stand side
by side in all patriotic estimation; and
the month of February should be rem
dered dOubly ilustrious and doupiy
sacred blythe observance OF the Repuo-
lies second father and largest friend.
