J. G. whittier on Plus the Ninth


The following lines were written by Jonn
G. Whittier when the Roman Provisional
Government was overthrown by French
troops atthe command Of Plus TX :: lsssfsss
The Cannon's brazen lips are cold,
No red shell blazes down the air;
And street, and tower, and temple old
Are silent as despair.
The Lombard stands no more at bay,
Rome's fresh young life has bled in vain;
The ravens scattered by the day
Come back with night again.
Now while the frairieides of France
Are treading on the neck of Rome,
Hider al Gaeta-seize thy chance.
Coward and cruel, come!
Let the world murmmur; let its cry
OF horror and disgust be heard;
Truth stands alone; thy craven lie
Is backed by lance and sword
Let lips of iron and tongues of slaves
Fit welcome give thee; for her part,
Rome, frowning DER her new made graves,
Shall curse thee from her heart.
Stand where Rome's blood was freest shed,
MOCK heaven Win lmpions tnanks ana Cal
Its curses on the patriot dead,
Its blessings on the Gaul.
Or sit upon thy throne of lies,
A poor mean idol blood besmeaIed,
Whom even its worshippers despise,
Unhonored, unrevered.
Yet Scandal of the World from thee
One needful truth mankind shall learn,
That kings and priests 10 Liberty
And God are false in turn.
Earth wearies of them; and the long
Meek sufferance Of the heavens doth fall;
Woe for weak tyrants when the strong
Wake, struggle and prevail
Not vainly Roman hearts have bled
To feed the Crosier and the Crown;
If reused thereby the world shall tread
The twin-born vampires down.

A considerable amount Of cash has
been unproitably expended ia this vi
cinityin the absurd cndeavor to IN
earth n paying stratum of stone coal.
Even . limited krowlede Of the geolog-
ical styaeture Of this region would have
saved gentlemen from such Expenditure
Of money and labor. for there is moth
Ing here which indicates extensive coal
measures. That there are beds OF ex-
cellert bituminous shales within & Fan
o shot OF Elko, is certainly true, but
bituminous shale is not an %inyariable
indicator OF mineral coal and in this
locality there are certain geological
conditions which render the existence
Of extensive coal strata impossible.
The fossil forms which exist in the
rocks in this portion OF Elko county
belong to the Silurian poriods-the very
sarlies of the sedimentary rocks--nud
at that stage OF the earth's development,
the only vegetable life upon the planet
belonged to the oeean. In other words,
the sea contained somo limited sara
gosas, or fields of kelp and there was
not on the face of the globe n suficiency
OF vegetable matter 10 form an upprecia-
bic stratum OF mineral coal.
Even at that early period however,
carbon formed an important factor in
the earth's laboratory and was readily
absorbed by the fucoids and their ac-
%companying sands and clnys rs may DO
abundnntly shown by annnlyzing the
bituminous shales In this vicinity. In
fact, these shales are richly charged
with carbon, containing from thirty to
fifty per cent. Of gas and arc nearly II
not fully equal 70 the oombustiblo shales
imported from Australia.
The time ~ not remote whom Hum.
boldt shalos Will be utilized in the man

On the v of every general election
which has occurred since the admission
OF the ''battle born State" the Repub-
lican Journals have trotted out thst in
telligent old Democratic fraud who
has lately been travelling over a large
portion of the State" The Reno
Journal has this to say Of the aniiquat-
ed old Salathiel: ..An intelligent Dem
ocrat, who has been travelling over a
large portion of this State estimates
that If Bradley be forced upon the DEM
cratic party in defiance OF its long
pronounced attitude on the third
term question, lac will lose ut least -
900 Democratic votes. The same au-
thority believes that either Hagerman
or Fox would carry the strength of the
party. and make large inroads on the
Republican vote" Now. for the sake
of variety, would it not DO As well for
our contemporary to change the polite
al status of this mythical Democratic
tramp and call him by his real name
Damphool?
