WORKERS IN DEEP MINEs.-Not many men who see the miners of the Savage lifted out at the top of the shaft at change of shift have the courage to descend into the lower regions of that mine. Very few even of the old residents of the Comstock would care to descend into the steaming regions below, and not one east ern man in 6 thousand could be induced to make the trip after seeing the men popped out at tho top of the shaft, steaming as though just lifted out Of chaldron of boiling water Though they are shirtless- as at birth from the waist up-and wear only cotton over ails, they are dripping as if but moment out of pond of water yet this is from steam and precipitation. In all this great heat, men must work The wonder is that they are able to do anything but gasp and pant. It is place bet ter fitted for salamanders than for men. At tne mead of the main incline it is as hot as in the hottest vapor bath at Steamboat Springs One would think that men much in such A place would be quite secure against rheu- matism On making inquiries in this regard of an underground foreman, he said he never knew any, of the men working below to have the rheumatism. Some of our sufferers from this disease might try this cure-might procure themselves to be lowered into the depths of the mine, there to sit and steam through one shift per day. But for the immense quantities of ict water they drink, the men could not en- dure the great heat in which they are placed or the floods of pespiration pumped from their pores. They swallow gallons on gallons of it, and it never hurts them in the least-V Virginsd City (NeU.) Enterprise.

A SQUARE DopoE.-The Radicals
have their compass pretty well boxed
in the western part of the State this
fall. Chief Justice Agnew, resides in
Beaver, and the late defeated Judge
Sterrett, Is a Pittsburger. They are
both candidates for Supreme Judge.
This ia the shape the Radicals Of But
Ter county found things in the other day
when they assembled to elect delegates
TO their State Convention. It was a
poser, but they instructed their dele
gates to vote for Judge McJankin who
is not a candidate under any clrcum-
stances, but a neighbor to both the
other candidates. The Radicals in that
section Of the State seem to be crazy
on the Supreme Judge question since
the Democrats elected Judge Turnkey.

EXACTLY So.-The editor of the liar.
risburg Independent hits the nail right
on the head in this way As no true
patriot desires a repetition ofthc frauds
that occurred in the South at the last
general election, It is tho plain duty Of
all citizens to urge upon Congress the
need of the formulation during this
session of some reformed plan for choos-
ing the President of the United States.
Thus FAR nothing has been done be.
yond the appointment Of committees,
and, unless the new scheme is at once
agreed upon, it cannot be Incorporated
into the organic law Of the land in
time to be made operative in $780,
There should DO no further delay in
this matter. II is of the first impor.
lance, because if nothing is done the
lite Of the nation may be again jeopar-
died, as il was q little more than a
year ago. The danger Is really great
er now than it was then, for unless we
have some plain and severe laws on the
subject, the villainy OF the South may
be transferred to the North and West,
and the electoral c~rookedness may be-
come as general as the official corrup-
ton has been during the past ten years.
Let us have a good Electoral law, and

BRADLrY.-Thc Philadelphia Record
in alIudingtoth this public character says;
"Judge Bradley, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, who became
conspicuous by reason Of his prominent
connection with the Electoral Commits
sion, is likely to pass under a cloud.
The subcommittee Of the House of
Representatives having certain charges
against his judicial action under inves-
tigation, it is said, have gained sufi.
Gent information against him to justi-
fy his impeachment. Mr.. Hayes is
peculiarly unfortunate respecting the
character and conduct of the men most
prominent in making him President,
after the people had spoken at the polls.
1t would be a pity il Justice Bradley
should prove TO have prostituted bis
high Office, and we hope hat he will
be able to thoroughly vindicate bis Off
cial conduct. Though it is more than
suspected that hc was appointed as an
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
in pursuance of an understanding that
he would vote to reverse a former de.
cision of that tribunal on the legaLten.
der question, yet 1t was hoped that he
would prove tolerably honest on the
whole, and 1t would be a sad thing if
it should be proved that he has been
corrupt in other matters. The indica-
tons, we regret to say, appear to be
unfavorable to his Judicial virtue

nomination for Secretary OF Internal
Affairs with J. Simpson Africa, the pres
ent very efficient working head of the

no one can do so with the faintest pros
pect Of success. Men who have prov.
ed themselves to be good officers are

four hundred thousand dollars. He did

d~eiaulting Treasurer, occupied a high
social position, is about fiity-cight
years of age, and has boon a resident
OF Fall River since 1892. He was q

sharp pen she wrote up that night in

ing any names with certainty. Dawes,
OF Massachusetts, wrote to one of his
constituents that her story was not
true, not ven "of one Senator, much

veracity put the little woman on her
mettle. anu this week, in the hdepend-
eat, she reports that SIX Senators were
positively drunk" and sixteen or
twenty showed Enthusiastically that they
had taken more liquor than was good
for them she knows their names too,
and only refrains from telling them out
of regard for the women who bear
them men who will go into the SEN
ate chamber drunk have no claim on
her consideration. She admits that
the whole sixteen were not "boastly"
drunk, but six were, and the other doz-
en- were jolly drunk. On the whole
she says a majority of the Senate are
not worthy of respect personally or

fee, he got $1,000. This he kept to
himself till brought out by the inves'

right to five per cent, under a law
which gives to the attorney collecting
a debt due the Commonwealth after
sixty days, five per cent. on the
amount collected. But in this case
tho attorneys collecting were Simon.

per cent. How, then, could the At

more2 Again, If he had a right to it
why didn't be take the full amount OF
FIVE per cent. on $4,000 amounting tc
$4,000, instead OF $4,000? The failure
to do so forces the suspicion that be

A HEAVY DEfALcAr'oS.-DEsvER,
Col, April l0.-It is publicly announc-
ed here that II. A. McIntire, President
of the First National Bank Of Lake
City, and Vice President of the First
National Bank Of Colorado Springs,
Col, have absconded with seventy
thousand dollars. The first disclosures
were made recently and showed tina,
Mclntire had in the interim following
the death Of the late President OF the
bank at Colorado Springs, and before
the vacancy was supplied, secured
from the deposits Of this bank between
$40. 600 and $4,000. In addition ia
this he has hypothetical stock OF the
two banks with which he was con.
nected amounting to $4,000. 1t il
feared that the effect upon the Lake
City Bank will be irreparable and that
further disclosures will swell the esti.
mate already made.
