During the present lull in business
the attention Of some of the unem-
ployed men in town is being attracted
to the Sultan river mines, about thirty
miles above Snohomish City, ON a
branch Of the Skykomish. These mines
have been worked more or less for the
past five or six years, principally by
Cinnamon, and fair wages have always
been made after the spring and fail
rises in the river, though not enough to
attract the attention Of white men in
buster times. \ party of fifteen China
men went up there last week, and a
small party of white men will leave
here this week for the same place

be expected at Virginia City in few days
and will probably be consigned to the CRroni :

Col A. C. Ellis, of the L. c., arrived here
Yesterday from Reno, where on Wednesday
night he spoke to his Democratic brethren.
Last night he spoke at Genoa. The Colonel
looks we'll after his dscouraging trip, and
talks quite nationally until he tackles politics,
when the intellect seems to wander.
Our new Declaration recognizes the fact
that all men are endowed with certain in
alienabe rights among which are life: liberty
and the pursuit of Cinnamon.
There will be a grand gathering Of the Re-

THE MEETING AT EMPIRE.

Four we'll filled passenger coaches contain
ing Republicans of the right sort, with &
liberal representation of ladies', went tc
Empire last evening The Carson Brass Band
furnished good music for the political excur-
tionists and as the train pulled out there
was many hearty expression of "good luck
to you" went up from those left standing on
the platform. 1t was a jolly crowd deter
mined on having good time politically, and
they had it.
The meeting was called to order by Hon.
w. o. H. Martin. Mr.. w. o. Broadhead
was elected chairman, who opened the meet
ing with few pointed remarks.
Hon C. S. Varian was called for and made
the opening speech, which he prefaced with
an apology for the absence of Hon. R. M.
Daggett Mr.. Varian dealt at some length
upon the Chinese question, his remarks be-
ing received with great applause. The
speaker then reviewed the official course of
Senator Jones, and claimed for him as an
appreciation for his great services the votes
of this Commonwealth.
Mr.. Charles Wilson was next introduced.
Mr.. Wilson refuted the mean, low and UNI
called for ISLANDERS which have been made
against him, jim a mastery style which won the
admiration of his hearers, and made many

Hon. c. S. Varian, the Republican candidate
for District Judge.

THE MEETING TONIGHT.

Once more the MORNING APPEAL reminds
its readers of the grand Republican meeting
to be held here tonight in the Carson Opera
House, and to be addressed by Senator John
P. Jones. He should be heard by every man
in Carson who wants to know what our Sen
ator has done for the people Of Nevada, and
what he proposes to do during his second
Senatorial term. Mr.. Jones will give an in
teresting history of the so-called Silver Bill,
including the story of the moneyed opposi-
ton to the remonetizing measure. There is
no word millinery about Jones, he does not
strike stage attitudes, or lingeringly taste his
voice as it comes up, He is good, square
talker, combining himself to facts, which he
puts in clear, vigorous English. He will
speak to a full house tonight, and "anti-
Jones men" will be hard to find in Carson
after o-night's meeting.

TO BE CLOSED.

We were yesterday informed that the bust
ness men of Carson generally propose to close
their places of business on Tuesday next,
election day. Glad to hear it. Under the
law saloons are compelled to keep their estab-
lishments shut during voting hours, and it is
but proper that other business men volun-
tarily do the same, and devote at least one
day to the interests of their country, besides
giving their employees an opportunity to do
the same. As rule there is not sufficient
interest taken in American politics. The
average American voter, unless he be in the
commercial line, or has a direct or personal
interest in the result, thinks he has done his
duty to his country by going to the polls,
quietly voting and then going to his home or
place of business to spend the remainder of
the day. Unpleasant as the acknowledge
ment Of the fact is, it must be admitted that
the political striker. nowadays is the only
really active party on election day. We hail
as healthy local political sign the fact that
our business men of all parties have concluded
to suspend business for one day, and devote
that day to actively participating in poll
teal affairs, both State and local.
