THE ELECTION AND THE bull
LION TAX,

Last week the SILVER STATE in COM
nenting on the result of the election in
this county. stated that though the plat.
forms of both parties were em mphatic4lly
opposed to the repeal or modification of
the bullion tax law. the voters did not
seem to be in accord with them on that
point. The Eureka Sentinel saws:
Humboldt is no exception ia this
matter. The same thing prevailed
throughout the State. Those who op-
posed the compromise bill of two years
ago were generally defeated. Bradley
bimself is notable example. In Lam
der, General Rocker was shametulIy
beaten by Mr.. Farrell. Tom Rockhill
lost in White Pine, and I. j, Bell in
Nye. George Shepard managed to pull
through IN Elko. but ran far behind his
ticket. In almost every Instance
record In favor of a modification of the
bullion tax law seems to have been
beneficial to the candidate. The truth
Is that the intelligence and honesty of
Nevada are favorable to a reasonable
oVerhauling of the law. The position
OF the Democratic party on this qnes.
ton in the late canvass lost US hundreds
OF votes. Il is true that both parties
were equally committed. bat it will be
fsmembered that the Republican speak
ers seldom alluded to the bullion tax.
business. while the Democratic stump
srs forced it as the paramount issue.
The result shows that the people re-
garded the blather of the latter as the
zoice of rampant demagoguery."

Strange Case of Hydrophobia.

About six years ago Henry B. Banks,
of Easton, killed his dog, supposing
him to be mad. At the time there was
no reason to suppose the dog had bitten
any member of the family. Last Satur-
day the daughter of Mr.. Banks, aged
ID, was seized with hydrophobic symp-
toms, and the disease rapidly developed
until Sunday evening, when her suffer
ings were awful to witness. Nothing
could be done to alleviate her tortures.
At last accounts she was still alive. AS
the little girl has never been exposed to
rabid dog, except the one killed six
years ago, it is supposed by her friends
that the disease must have developed
from some slight bite or scratch received
then, 80 slight in fact that it was never
noticed by any one, or complained of by
the little girl herself. bridgeport (Ct)

Life at DeadMOOd.

Deadwood, the chief city of the Black
Hills, is an interesting place to live in.
The Rev. l.. p. Norcross, Congrega-
tional minister, took occasion recently
to condemn from his pulpit the Iawless-
ness 80 prevalent there, and to urge an
earnest prosecution of crime. lie also
appealed to the community through the
press to see that the laws should be en-
forced, and that, in order to secure their
enforcement, iurymen should be chosen
willing to convict on legal proof of
guilt. This aroused the ire of the
Sheriff, who is responsible for the selec-
ton of jurymen, and that functionary
seized Mr.. Norcross and was hurrying
the outspoken preacher to Jail, when
some citizens demonstrated, and the
prisoner was released. The Black Hills
hardly seem prepared just yet for organ
izatiOn into separate Territory.
