TIA. IBuIlion Tax.

II Is very evident that the muiu is
SUE in the approaching election will be
the Bullion Tax question. There is no
donbt but that tho parties representing
the mining interests will follow up
their unsuccessful attempt to modify
the existing law, in the last logisl t;uro.
10y All effort to elect a Governor and IA
LEGISLATURE sulseryient to their wishes
On that question.
Tie fact that the mining interest in
this State Il nn ovcrshndowing one and
that IL controls most Of the newspapers
published in the State. makes the dan
ger very great that they will succeed,
ut least i'll getting u majority in the
Legislative. In view OF these facts
then IL becomes Of the highest impor.
thnce for the people to be careful who
they nominate TO represent them in the
Legislature. The first consideration
should be to get mcn whose honesty
can b relied on, and in the next place
they should be pledged to oppose nmy
modification wbntcyer OF the existing
law. Ou the sane grounds it is equally
jnportant to elect Il Governor who can
b. depended upon.
The mining people have made an
argument, n very weak ono however.
against the justice VI the bullion tax.
The essential qualities In our candidate
for Governor should DO honesty. nrm-
ness and good sense. Possessing these
qualifications there is no danger that
lac will ever be influenced By the soph
iSticul argument OF the injustice Of The
bullion tax.

General B. F. Butler has divorced him
self from the Republican party and Joined
the hosts of Kearney, who are crying,
"Down with, the boated bondholders! -
"Down with capitalists and monopolists .
In this alliance the public would naturally
infer that General Butler is not the holder
OF any United States bonds, and bias per-
feet adherence Of them and all who chance
to be their possessors. This is all right, pro-
yided the General is consistent in his posi-
ton; but if it can be shown that he is the GUS
todian OF nearly or quite million OF Govern
ment bonds, aud no inconsiderable portion
of personal property, doesn't it look little
queer to find him among the revilers against
the bondhoIders? Now, il the General will
give his consent to Hon. Gleni W. Schoteld,
Register of the Treasury, that he may en-
hibit 10 us the records CT bis office, we Will
undertake to show that General B. F. But
Ter is now and has been for some time the
owner in his own right and the custodian Of
United States Government bonds aggrega-
ting more than S1,000,000. Will the Gene
raj give his consent to this proposition !? He
should either unload his bonds or train IN
other company, it would seem to an impair
tial observer, for consistency's sake.
