THE MINERAL HILL STRIP.

"Fritz," the versatile and cosby
legislative correspondent of the Enter
prise, in a late letter to that paper re-
fers to a matter of interest to Eurekans
as follows:
There is also another storm brew
ing which may o o open into "a lively
little fight. 1t will be on what is here
termed the Mineral Hill BILL" intro
duced by Cassidy and seconded by his
colleague, Baker. both of Eureka, and
opposed by Shepherd and Stone, of FL
ko county. 1t is for a small strip of
territory through which the Eureka
and Palisade Railroad runs. About
twenty five miles of the road is in Ell
| ko county, as we'll as the town of Min
eral Hill. The land in question is not
of much value. but the assessable
property belonging to the road is of
some consequence, Elko county as
sessing it at 81, 900 a mile, while Eureka
county assessed the portions in that
county (only the northern and southern
being so situated) at So. 900 per mile.
The Elko Senator's say the majority of
the taxpayers living on the disputed
ground are in favor Of remaining in
that county. AS near AS | can learn
it is an old fight. In 1875 a bill passed
both Houses setting it apart to Eurer
ka, but it was vetoed by the Governor.
In 1875 it again passed both Houses,
and again was vetoed, but WAS passed
over the Governors head. The Eure-
ka delegation, as well as the officials of
that county, supposed it was a law,
and commenced to assess the proper
ty, when the Elkoites denied their
right, and the suit was carried to the
Supreme Court AMI the law pro-
nounced unconstitutional, as the en-
rolling Clerk had in copying the bill
(wOnder how much he got) omitted
the word Senate, the bill reading:
"The people of the State of Nevada,
represented in Assembly, do enact as
follows:" consequently Eureka threw
up the sponge, but now comes to time
again, well prepared TO win or die.
There is in connection with this a little
piece of secret history, which places
the present Eiko county delegation at a
disad vantage. Itappears that at the time
of the fight, in 1873, the Eiko repre-
sentalives promised to give Eureka
the ground asked, provided Eureka
would assist them in locating the
State University in Elko. The trade
looked fair, but 1t is now said the Ell.
koites knew the Governor would veto
tire bill, thatthe Enrolling Clerk would
leave out the word Senate" and
thus they would gain their University
and also keep the land. 1t is current
ly reported that in view of this fact
Eureka county proposes to send we a
:" bar'l of money" to "usufruct" the
present Enrolling Clerk.

THE COMPROMISE.

The deep and universal interest that
is felt throughout the country in the
joint report of the committee on
the presidential question, induces
us to refer to 1t more FREE
queAtly than is our wont in cases of
ordinary public interest. The report
was presented to the Senate last Satur-
day by the distinguished Senator from
Vermont, Geo. F. Edmunds. the chair
man of the Senate Committee. His
speech in support of the bill embodied
in the report, though brief and en-
tirely devoid of rhetoric, was a forci-
BILE presentation of the law and merits
Of the case, and, to our mind, conclu.
sive rs to the constitutionality and adj
visibility Of the measure. He said
that the people of both political par
ties believed their candidate to have
been duly elected, and that great
wrong would be done in keeping him
crisis, it there was any duty greater
than another devolving upon Con-
gress, it was that Of providing some
means by which, no matter what the
result might be, all men might be sat
isfied that the due course of the law
had been taken.
He then, after showing that the
question as to whether Hayes or Til.
den had been elected must be deter
mined by the law as it existed on the
first Monday of last December, ex
planned that this bill made no new law,
but only established a commission to
decide upon the old law. A few terse
that neither in the Vice President nor
in the House of Representatives, not
even in both Houses acting either con-
currently or conformity, but in the
law-making power Of the Government
alone, lay the right and the duty of
determining whether a document pur-
porting to be an electoral r.rurn was
what it represented itself to be; and
this duty could only be performed by
enacting a law comforting upon some
body the power of examining into and
passing upon disputed cases.
Referring to the constitution of the
commission, he said that it would un
donbtedly have been competent to.
erect the two Houses into such a tri-
bunal, but that the result would be to
leave the determination of the delicate
constitutional questions certain to arise
with large bodies of men who would
60 with the swift current Of warm de.
bate and warm feeling" This COM
mission. on the other hand, would be
large enough to have every shade of
preconceived opinion represented, and
at the same time would be so limited
ia number that it would be capable of
prompt yet deliberate action. He
claimed that it would be absolutely
impartial. He said:
When the oath prescribed for men,
bers OF the Tribunal should be taken,
there would be no more craftsmanship,
no more enemies, no more friends, but
the solemn Judgment Of the Judge
that tie obligation, when taken, would
dismiss from the minds OF the Sena-
tors and Representatives every consid.
Grafton which clouded either their in-
tellects or warped their judgments.
The Tribunal was to decide upon what
had taken place, and not what should
take place. II there was any value in
our civil institutions this was the last
and final hope. There was nothing
short of the works of the Almighty
which furnished a more Just test of
