A JUDGE WHO MADE MISTAKE. The
White Pine Ne,cs of Saturday reporting the
proceedings in the District Court for White
Pine County, says:
The first of the criminal cases disposed of
WAS that of Mrs. Repp, for grand larceny,
for stealing the watch and jewelry of Mrs
McGill at Ward. Last Saturday the defend
ant came into Court and pleaded guilty to
the charge. The Court, in passing sentence,
reviewed the history of the case, and stated
he found no mitigating circumstances in
favor Of the prisoner, but, in consideration
Of the fact that there were no accommoda-
tons for female convicts at the State Prison,
RosaeRepp was sentenced to that institution
for the term OF one year, the lightest penalty
under tho law.
We are quite sure that Judge Cole is in
error. There are, certainly, some cells in
tho second story of one of the prison build
iags built expressly for female prisoners
Just what the Judge considers accommoda-
tons for feminine convicts we are at loss
to surmise, if these cells are not ample for
their incarceration.

TIE CARSON VALLEY News SUsPENDs.
Tho editor OF the Carson Valley News, an
nouucing the suspension of that paper from
further publication says:
To-day We present to our readers the last
number of the Carson Valley News 1t is
with some feelings Of regret that We make this
announcement, for we believe that Douglas
county is in need of local paper, and We
know, too, that If the people could be united
in their support that the printer would be paid
for his work; but when the patronage is con-
fined TO only portion of our spare population
it either becomes burdensome to them or I'M
remunerative to us. We are therefore obliged
to seek more lucrative employment, however
glad we would be to serve those who have 80
generously patronized us for the past four
years A newspaper to advocate the interests
ot tho people must necessarily make more or
less enemies and thereby lose their patronage.
In small county like this there is none to
lose hence the very independence which
makes paper desirable, is sure to prove fatal
in the end, where one half the people cannot
bear it out. Feeling that we have done our
duty to the last, we now step down and out.

MAIL MATTERS AND STAGING On the first
day of July the new mail contractors will
assume their duties of carrying mails over the
different schedule routes. Route 1910,
from Aurora to Bodie, was contracted to Doc
Benton, who has sub let the contract to Frank
Ciug4age. The route only calls for a tri-
weekly carrying of the mails, but Mr.. Clug

dation of the people. The route from here

W lose name We have forgotten, but Mr..

anal contracts between Aurora, Benton, Cerro
Gordo, Independence and the several towns

first of the month. John Altman, we under
stand, will run line of stages over these

Progress of the southern scOurge.

The accounts that continue TO come to us

in some cases aud cripPles it in others. Ply
,'aus who thought themselves secure against
the maady have been stricken. Members OF
that noble organization, the Howard Associa-
ton. who have volunteered to nurse the suffer-
ers. have themselves fallen victims to their hui

have succumbed to the destroyer in the midst

Wherever persons can take to fight they have

Resolutions Adopted at Keyser.
The following platform was adopted by the
te Democratic Congressional Convention:

Tho following platform was adopted by the
late Democratic Congressional Convention:
PewIcea l. That the policy Of the Re-
publican party hes always been to favor the
few at the expense Of the masses Of the people,
and that all their legislative enactments have
tended directly or Indirectly to make tie rich
richer and the poor poorer, and that the
present deplorable financial condition of the
country and the suffering Of the masses are
owing TO their unwise aud iniquitous legis.a-
ton.
.. That the depression and hardsbips Of
the manufacturing and farming interests of
the country were brought about by the forced
contraction Of the currency Of the country,
which was done IN the interest Of the bond
holders.
3. That We demand The speedy and uncon-
di,ioual repeal Of the resumption act that
greenbacks be substituted for National Bank
currency aud made legal tender for all dues,
Doth public and private; that national bonds,
or the income derived from them, be taxed
equally with other property, and that gold,
silver aud greenbacks he made and kept Of an
equal value for all purposes
4 That the people of the United States
were cheated out Of their choice for President
and Vice President at the last election 10y the
wicked and dishonest practices Of Radical roll
ticiaus aud Office holders aud that the present
administration, while some Of its measures are
right, is nevertheless fraud and disgrace to a
free people.
3. Congress should enact stringent laws tc
prevent Federal judges from interfering with
/ the local, domestic and internal affairs of a
State, not authorized by the constitution.
s. The usurp,ion CT jurisdiction by the
/ United States Courts, in matters which ouly
concern the domestic police Of the State, is
fraught with the greatest danger and demands
/ the attention Of Congress.
Z. That SIC are gratiied to see so many O
our people becoming convinced Of the iujuri'
GUS effects Of the financial policy Of the re-
I publican party aud are endeavoring to have il
/ changed We cordially invite all TO join u!
/ in our efforts to accomplish the purposes SCI
forth in these resolutions, believing that is TIT
surest way to attain the proposed reforms.
