VIZ PUBLISH elsewhere q we'll timed
and sensible article from the Morning
Herald" condemning the attempt ofthe
Democrats to legislate Samuel A. Mac
alister out Of the City Solicitors Office,
simply because he is Republican. We
agree with our contemporary in all
that It has said, and We will 20 a little
farther and say that it is a contempti-
BILE piece Of business for any party to
be engaged in. Simple justice demands
this commendation for the Herald, !"
however much we may squabble over
newspaper circulation. .a'

0herfn'S Sales,

The limited notice given to the pro-
perty sold by the Sheriff of New Cattle
.,unty, affords sufficient ground to have
the sale set aside II properly brought
to the attention of the Court. In some
instances scarcely single copy of the
papers selected circulate in the Hun
dred in which the property seized upon
Is located, and consequently adver-
tiseing in them is just about as sensi-
bic as the lighting Of lamp and put.
ting 1t under q bushel measure.

The Republican" backs down; 1t is
afraid to show its hand. We beg to in
form the owners Of that paper that their
editor wilfully and maliciously, with
an intent to injure our business, con-
tinually publishes an estimate OF our
circulation, which is untrue, and vast
" underrated. II it be repeated, it
can only be so with continued intent
to do us harm in our business. In
such case we will give the Messrs. Yer
non an opportunity to prove the truth
of their continued statement about our
circulation.
The above we clip entire from the
"Morning Herald" that it may be read
in a paper that has decent circulation
amongst the people. We would only
say that we have no desire to underes-
innate the circulation Of that paper, but
rather wish that it had just ten times
as much and then it would be some
where near the equal Of the REPUBLICAN
80 far as circulation is concerned. II
the "Herald" is really honest in its
statement Of its pretended circulation
Il will offer the same facilities for ascer.
tanning that circulation that the Re-
PUBLICAN has offered, that is, throw
open its press room, its Office, its mail
ing books, and all other needed facili-
ties for investigation by disinterestsd,
intelligent and reliable committee Of
gentlemen. 1t is poor revenge for the
"Herald" to say we backed down be-
cause we declined to accept its gamb-
ling proposition Of putting up forfeit
ur. of money under certain restrictions
and circumstances. We were never
gamblers. We are very confident that
we have about ten times the circulation
that the "Herald" has, and nothing
can change tina. belief but an honest

In THE REPORT Of the Treasurer Of the
Board Of Education made at q meeting
Of the Board on Monday night We found
no mention Of that little $40, 900 cash
box that Mr.. Guthrie said was in bank
to the credit of the Board. Before the
election We said that according to Mr..
Guthrie's own reports II was not there,
but the "Gazette" said we lied, and
now we ask that paper to tell us some
thing about it. 5000 is not picked up
every day, and If as Mr.. Guthrie says,
it is in bank somebody besides him
should know something about it. "Now
you see it, and now you don't"

A New Horseshoe,

A cow-hide horseshoe has been in
troduced, which promises to prove
very useful. 1t is composed of three
thicknesses of cow-hide, compressed
into steel mould and then subjected
to chemical preparation. 1t is
claimed for it that it lasts much
longer and weighs only one-fourth as
much as the common iron shoe; that
it never causes the hoof to split,
nor does it have the least injurious
influence on the foot. 1t requires no
calks; even on asphalt the horse never
slips. The shoe is so elastic that
the horses step is surer and lighter.
1t adheres so closely to the foot that
neither dust nor water can penetrate
between the shoe and foot.-Eureka
Sentinel.

A Sufficient Excuse.

Down at Carson the Insane Asy-
lum furnishes tardy members stand
ing excuse. Last Wednesday after
noon Senator King came in the
Chamber five minutes after the Sen.
ate had been called to order. He
was called before the bar to state the
reason of his absence. He said:
"Mr. President, l thought l had a
few minutes to spare, so let man
buzz me on the Insane Asylum
question"
This explanation caused general
laugh throughout the Chamber, and
Senator King was at once excused.

THE FAR WEST MATCHES.

The Manufacturers Admit that
they Sometimes Prove Unsatis-
factory.
In the TIMES of last Saturday an
article appeared in which the Far.
West matches manufactured at Sac
ramento by Foster IL Billingsley
were rather roughly handled. Since
then we have made additional in
quiries into the matter, and have
become satisfied that the inferiority
complained of extends to all brands
OF "block" matches which are in
common use; that, further, if there
is any difference between them, it
is in favor of the Far.West brand,
and that-the price being the same,
as there is a combination to keep up
the price between all the manufac.
turers of matches-this is the reason
why all our local dealers sell them
in preference to others. In this con-
nection the following extract from
letter received here last Wednesday
will be of interest:
The piece in your local paper 1.-THE
TIMEsl we think hard on the Far
West matches. We have not
handled any kind of block matches
that did not some time prove un.
satisfactory, but we we're of the
opinion that our match was giving
pretty general satisfaction. Our
match factory has been destroyed
by fire, and for a while we shall
give our customers a chance to try
some other brand. Suppose your
local newspaper man will be pleased
to learn that for the present the
nuisance" has been gotten rid of.

There seems to be no prospect for
an early resumption Of operations in
the Sutro Tunnel. All the employees
who were discharged last Monday
were paid off last Wednesday, and
many have since left the tunnel
town. Only four men remain in the
pay of the company at that place.
These are Assistant Superintendent
Sheldon, Foreman BluetI, Private
Secretary Young, and George RAM

John T. Raymond at Piper's.

Col. Sellers drew an immense au-
dience to Piper's on wednesday
evening,and good houseThursday.
The piece has been the source of so
many newspaper articles that every
body expected a fine play. But, as
with Col. Sellers's speculations, so
with the anticipations Of the audi
ence. He always declared that
'there are millions in it," but wound
mp with nothing sin it," so with the
play. Yet everybody who wit
messed the performance was enter
tanned and amused. Raymond has
made Col. Sellers one of the most
entertaining individuals ever seen
on the stage. The rendition of the
character of Laura Harkins by Miss
Augusta de Forrest was excellent.
In the fourth act, IN the scene at
Senator Dillberry's house, in Wash
ington, she showed that she was
capable of much better acting than
the part assigned her enabled her
to display, and her efforts were
ably seconded by the Col. Selby Of
A. d. Billings-an old favorite here.
The piece will be repeated at the
matinee this afternoon, and tho en-
gagement closes with "Risks," this
evening.

Special Meeting OF the Miners
Union.


A special meeting of the Silver
City Miners Union was held last
evening, at the request of the recent
employees of the Sutro Tunnel Com
pany, about forty of whom, besides
Foreman Bluett, came up to attend
it. The object was to agree upon
some plan or mode of action whereby
the lives of the miners would not be
endangered by having hot water
suddenly turned into the tunnel
from the flooded mines while they
are at work in the header. 1t is be-
lieved that if such an arrangement
can be made work will be resumed
at once in the tunnel. The action
taken had not transpired when the
TIMES went to press.
THE discharge Of the Savage
miners must have been intended as
a check to this move.-ED. TIMES.

LATEST FROM LEADVILLE.

Among the recent arrivals in this city
from the West is DR.. John T. Baker,
who went out to Leadvill, Col, about
two months ago. The doctor is a guest
at the Palmer house. This gentleman
remained in the Leadville district some
five weeks, and explored a number Of the
mines to satisfy himself of the mineral
wealth of that part Of Colorado. He
thinks there is plenty of rich mining
property there, and he believes that there
is a great future to that country. \ cool
head and ''going SLOW" are recommended
by him as the essentials to success. DR..
Baker intends returning to Colorado, and
counts himself with the West. He is in
terested in several mines there, and ne
proposes to take out a stamp mill and
smelter to develop his property. The
new gold district, about twenty miles
from Leadville, is reported to be very
promising. Shafts have been sunk in
the Gold Quartz district, and the veins
are reported as positive, and contains free
milling ore, which has assayed from three
to six ounces to the ton. There is some
thing Of a reaction in the rush to Lead
vile; business has settled down to q
money making basis, and things keep
lively and money circulates freely. The
doctor says Leadviile is no place for q
man to go without money, but a man
with money can make more. The hotel
accommodations are good, the prices
reasonable, all things considered; and
civil laws are we'll enforced, and the camp
is an unusually quiet and peaceable one
for a new country. The population is
now estimated at about $4,000. In Lead
vile there are many modern improve
ments, such as water works, gas-works,
street cars, uniforming the city police,
fire department, etc. The old buildings
are being torn down, and commodious
and substantial ones are taking theil
place. There are some six large smelters
working night and day, and a number
are contracted for, to be erected at once.
