A MANCHESTER man has been studying
the late Liverpool calamity, and offers
some provisions promotivc Of safety when
panics occur in crowded thcaters. He says
that the fatal results almost invariably arise
from the outpouring Of the upper gallery
Of the building. In the rush for escape
from upper stories. dow crowded stair
ways, some are bound to fall. and there is
where the danger begins. Safety is not in
the external doorway Of tie building,
being even rs wide AS tie house itself. The
damage is done before the doorway is
reached. The danger is chiefly in the en-
trance to the doorway which leads to the
staircase on the inside being too capacious.
letting too many people IN the stairs at
once; and again, in the lack Of hand-rail-
ings or stairs. 1t is suggested that on
wide stairs, which will admit more than
four men abreast, there ought to be :.
centre hand-rail for support in n ~surging,
descending crowd. This would prevent
stumbling and falling, and by SO much
decrease the danger.

ON BULLION.

The yield Of q mine is not all pront'
Even when you have turned your ore intu
bullion. you are not through. Discounts
taxes, expressage, coinage, insurance, and
other expenses must be met before you can
figure up AMI find out how You stand.
The Phoebe "Record" has this important
item {:
1.-THE discount on Pioche bullion has
reached the alarming rate of % per cent.
When the Dry Valley mill was first started
up u is last time the discount was nearly
ii per cent; since then it has steadily in
creased, until it has reached the figure
above stated. The Meadow Valley Com
pany has paid in about a month nearly
ST, 900 in discount ON bullion-a pretty
fair profit in itself, and if this rate does
not depreciate they cannot afford to run
much longer on screenings. We suppose,
and with very good reason. that the other
mining interests around Phoebe suffer the
same way, and without a decrease in the
present rate of discount the future OF the
mines here can be foretold very easily.
The Silver bill. instead of being a benefit,
is q detriment, for the very simple reason
that bullion cannot be taken to the mint
and coined, but has to be sold to bankers,
who control the market price Of it,"

For weeks we have had rumors OF a com
rromise between the Union and Sierra
Esvada Mining Companies. At last the
announcement that all differences have
bsen smicably arranged, rs flashed over
the wires. The terms OF the settlement
will be found among our coast dispatches.
This il an important bit Of news for stock
operators. 1t means, We think, the devel-
cpment Of the new bonanza, in systematic
order and . better feeling in the stock
market. Under the compromise, leading
stocks hardened materially at tho evening
session Of the Informal Board. Nov that
these troubles between the king pins OF
the market have been adjusted 1t is not
unlikely that there will be . general adj
rance along the whole line.

Discussing the Prison Warden ship, the
Elko Post says:
We contend that General Batterman is
the right man in the right place. His adj
miuistration Of the affairs OF the Prison has
been frst-class, and the best Of discipline
il preserved. We are informed that the
boot-making business, since he became
Warden, has been greatly increased-that
he has built entirely by convict labor q
two-story stone structure that will COM
pare favorably with any public building in
the State. This has been done without
any extra appropriation Of money. As we
view il. public interest demands that Gen.
cral Batterman be retained and no change
made in the Wardenship.
II 10 not likely that the Democratic
members Of the Legislature will have much
TO say about the matter, but we feel like
concurring in the sentiments expressed by
the Post. From all accounts, General Bat
terman has made q most excellent Warden.
The Republicans in State Convention
having defeated him for the Gubernatorial
nomination. they cannot now do less than
retain him ~ Warden. particularly as his
administration is without q blemish.
Though defeated. he stood ~ his party
without . murmur. II loyalty to party
goes for anything. the General is entitled

DEMAGOGIsM

There Ia nm element in the Convention,

and accuse them Of a desire to "defeat The

these demaeogues is alike false and impu-
dent. They take the audacious position

longs TO the same breed that commits
