Afflicted Patriots.

Candidates who recently visited
Paradise and Spring city, or, as they
are known respectively by the in
habitants, 'Gouge Eye" and 4" Bung
Eye,' say they were handled without
gloves by the boys in both camps.
Their coats, hats and pantaloons We're
taken to the nearest saloon and pawned
for drinks. Some of them walked rp
in the morning to find everything be-
longing to them in g SOAK and had to
go from their beds elegantly attired in
blankets to make terms with the bar
keeper for those articles. There are
generally four or five knock-down ar
guments a day, and more whisky is
said to be drank in the new mines every
day than in any other place Of its size
on the coast. Of course candidate
who displays much temper and gets
very angry at such treatment stands no
show of getting votes.- Winaemucca

FROM WASHINGTON.

THE CHINESE AT THE OBSERVATORY.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-The Chinese
minister accompanied by his entire suite,
under the escort of Mr.. Bartlett, the
American secretary of the legation, paid
visit to the Naval Observatory tonight.
The distinguished party was received by
Admiral Rogers, the superintendent of
the observatory. They spent some time
in looking at the astronomical apparatus
and in listening to the explanation given
by the admiral and his assistant profess
sors.
THE TARIFF.
Although we'll informed people have
been perfectly satisfied that no revision
of the tariff could be perfected at the en-
suing session of Congress, the statement
just made public by Mr.. Fernando Wood
to that effect is well timed. The formal
notice of the chairman of the committee
on ways and means will put at rest the
anxiety sure to affect in a greater or less
degree the immense variety of interest
bound up in the tariff while any proba-
bility existed of change. Mr.. Wood is
right in saying that the tariff ought to be
revised as early as possible. As both
houses in the next Congress Will be I'M
der democratic control there would be a
good prospect for thorough overhauling
of the tariff, if things were now as they
used to be. But both the republican and
the democratic parties seem now to be
divided among themselves on the tariff
the currency and every other question ex-
cept the question of the spoils.
THE RECENT ELECTIONS.
Several leading Western democrats,
members Of Congress and Others have
arrived here since the elections of last
week. They all express themselves as
entirely satisfied with the result, and
those of them who are following the
greenback movement assert very positive
ly that they are not in the least discour-
aged by the election of the republican
State ticket in Ohio. They say that next
year the opposition to the republicans
will be united and is sure to triumph.

Does Virtue Always Win:


A brisk fight between two boys at the
foot Griswold street yesterday was inter-
rupted by citizen, who, after releasing
one of them, made the other sit down on
a salt barrel and be talked to.
"Now, then," he began. sit is terrible
thing for boy like you to be conducting
in this maner."
"I'd licked him if you han't come up!"
walled the boy, as he carefully wiped his
scratched nose.
"Suppose you had. Do you want to be
considered dog? Why don't you try and
be good boy and get along peacefully
off the wharf and been drowned?"
"Spose'n i hadn't, too! It's the good
boys who get drowned"
"What"
"It's so, and 1 kin prove it, I'll bet a
dollar agin cent that more Sunday
school boys have drowned this year than
bad 'unsl"
The man reflected, and did not dispute
the assertion.
'"And more run over by the cars" con-
tinued the boy.
No answer again.
"And more of 'em got sick and died,
and I'll bet I've got more money and
have more fun and peanuts than any good
boy in Detroit"
"But the good are rewarded" quietly
observed the man.
$50 are the bad" replied the boy. "I'll
bet make so cents before dark"
"But the good are respected"
So am 1. kin go up to the post-office
and borry So 'thout any security, and I'll
bet 10 to you can't! Come, now-put up
the lucrel"
"My boy" sadly observed the man,
"you must think of the future. Don't you
want to be looked up to and respect ed
when you are a man.
"That's too far ahead" was the lone
reply. "If anybody thinks I'm going to
to be called a clothespin, and wheel
and not go for 'em jist for the sake OF
lookin like an angel when ] git to be a
man, they is mistaken in the house, and
you dasnt bet they amt"
And he "dasn't."
