T. F. MARSHALL,
The Cash Grocer,
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1879-12-11

Hayes, in his, message, makes several
recommendations which are not in &C
cord with popular sentiment on this
coast He favors, the withdrawal of
greenbacks or Government notes from
circulation, for the purpose of giving
the national banks full control of the
currency. He recommends the modti-
cation Of the Silver bill, to give the
money kings of the country opportu-
nifty to increase their wealth at the ex-
bill to restrict Chinese immigration,
believing that only the, irresponsible
element of the population of this coast
was in favor of the bill, though the
vote at the recent election in California
was almost unanimous for the propo-
sition. Hayes is now the head and
front OF the Republican party, and New
York journals, since his message was
made public, intimate that he should
be the standard bearer of the party for
q second term. Are the principles
which he advocates the principles of
tAe Republicans of this coast If so,
they must necessarily be opposed to the
remonetization, of silver and the re-
striction of Chinese immigration. There
=
must be something more than name
in. parties, and it is desirable that that
something be made known to the pub
lie, that they may act accordingly.
NVill the Republican papers of Nevada
explain the situation, and let the people
know if there is anything in modern
Republicanjsm except the bloody shirt,
legislation in the interest of corpora
tons, and the spoils of office

NEvADk's SENATOR FROM CALI
FORNlA.

Senator J. 2. Jones, who is generally
at Washington when Congress is in
session, is on his way home to spend the
holidays, and take his family to the
National Capital. He will spend a few
days in Colorado looking after his min
iAg interests in chat State before he re-
turns to Nevada. His absence from
the Senate, leaves Nevada unrepre-
sented in that body. Our Senator from
San Francisco, whose term expires a
year from the 18th of March next, and
who is mentioned as candidate for re-
election, is on his way east to spend the
holidays at the National Capital, or,
perhaps, in New York City, and to
nominally represent this State i'll the
Senate during the absence of Senator
Jones. This denotes that Mr. Sharon
intends to re-enter the. political arena,
rs candidate for reelection, as hither-
to he has utterly neglected his Sena-
torial duties, and has not spent as many
weeks in the Senate as he has been
years a Senator. He resides in San
Francisco, and spends his time in that
city, though drawing salary as Senator
from Nevada. The people of this State,
irrespective of party, with the excep-
ton of a few sychopants in Virginia
City, who bend before the millionaire the
Supple hinges of the knee, that thrift
may follow fawning," despise the man,
and if fair vote, uninfuenced by
money or promises of position, was
taken to-day in the State, Sharon's sup
porters could ride in a two horse wagon,
without crowding each other either.
If, however, ne is a candidate for re-
election, and throws few hundred
thousand dollars into campaign fund
to be used in purchasing votes, he may
carry the State next year against resi-
dent Republicans and Democrats Of
whom the people might justly feel
proud. Money IS at least as effective
In influencing elections in Nevada as
saotguns are said. to be in Mississippi.
Sharon is aware OF this, and knowing
that Blaine, Coakiing & Co. DO. not
object to its use as they do to the shot,
gun, he uses it where it does the most
good. He knows that a majority Of
the Legislature of Nevada is always on
the side of the heaviest purses, and
conscious Of this fact, he has only to
spend few hundred thousand dollars
to procure his election.

Remarkable Accident to q Horse,


Yesterday afternoon heavy fall and
a great racket was heard in The livery
stables OF G. Xeecher. Mr.. Zeecher
and some of his men ran to ascertain
what was the matter, and were not a
little astoaishcd to find one OF the horses
belonging to the Adams Express com.
pany lying down with one Of its hind
feet wedged 10 it's mouth. Il required
the united strength of several men, us
ing levers, to pry the horses mouth
open wide enough to get the foot out,
and before they succeeded in doing it
two Of tn, horses teeth were knocked
out. The poor brcte would have
straueled 20 death had he not been
promptly relieved; and it was nearly
half an hour before he could rise to his
feet. 1t is supposed that the horse
throw his foot forward in striking a,
the flies, and at the same time threw
his head backw ward biting a. them, thu,
putting his foot IN it." The entire
hoof was in the horses mouth, the teett
being sunk into tie flesh above tn,

Puget sound.


An article in Puget Sound Courier
thus portrays the great inland sea:
1--WE have here, in the waters com.
monty known as Puget Sound, without
exaggera.ion one Of the finest, harbors
in the world. Yes, 'tis more, il is an
inland sea that with reason might be
called the American Mediterranean.
The late Admiral Wilkes has thus de,
scribed it: Nothing can exceed the
beauty ofthese waters and their safety.
Not a shoal within the straits Of San
Juan dc Fuca, Admiralty Inlet or
Hoods Canal, that can in any way 10
tcrrupt their navigation by Il gun
ship. / venture nothing in s,ying
there is no country 10 the world that
possesses waters equal to these. They
have an area ofabout 1900 square miles
The shores Of all these inlets and bays
are remarkably. bold; 80 much go that
in many places ships side would
strike the shore before the keel would
touch the ground. The country BY
which these waters is surrounded is re
markably salubrious. and offers every
advantage for the accommodation Of q
vast commercial aud military marine,
with convenience for docks, and great
many sites for towns and cities, at ali

The straits of Juan do Fuca are 81
miles in length, and havc an averag,

eight miles in width, no danger exists
and it may be safely navigated through

Handling Colts.


We often find in agricultural papers
directions for biting" colts, and tell.
ing how to manage them when old
enough to break.
recol'ect my experience as boy in
breaking thIee-year old colts that had
never been haltered, how they pitched
me over their heads, and reared and
plunged when 6rst harnessed, and oc.
casionly one Of them would turn out so
vicious as to bc worthless. Since l
have been raising colts, | have adopted
a different plan and have no trouble
with them. As soon as a colt is ten
days old put halter on him for an
hour or two. have the tic rein of the
halter fastened to tho head stall with a
snap, and when turn the colt loose |
leave the head stall on. by the time
the colt has worn the halter two or
three. days and been tied few times,
he is ready to learn to lead. So when
| am going to drive the mother, tia
colt to the humc ring and start of. A
little care will be necessary tie first
time or two the mare is driven. and
then you will have no more trouble.
always treat my colt kindly, feed and
pet it little, aud never have any
trouble to catch it. ! have filly nov
two years old. whose mother could no
be caught in pasture without grea
trouble. but she is very kind, can b,
caught in pasture anywhere, and 20,
can tie her to the wagon and lead he
anywhere you choose. We accuston
our colts to the saddle and harnes
when young, and when old enough t
work we have only to hitch them Vi
and 60 al it, as there is no breaking t

to be month old until it was taught I

Statue 10 Custer.

An elegant lrouze statue wa un
yelled at West Point N. Y, August
3lst, in the presence of about 5000
people, larger number, it is estimated
than ever assembl d en- any pre-. ious
occasion at West Point. The statue as
it stands to day is eight feet six inches
in height, upon a granite pedestal nine
feet 10 height, giving it a most impos.
ing elevation aud a noble appearance.
The statue represents Custer dismount
ed, with sword in his right hand and
a pistol in his left. The figure has q
slightly forward inclination, as if about
to advance the long hair is streaming
behind and the whole attitude denotes
boldncss and fearlessness which wei
represents the characteristics Of the
man and which derives additional spirit
from the we'll portrayed expression o
the countenance. There is but on,
change that could add to the effective
ness of the picture as it is intended t.
be understood, and that would be to hav
at'ired tn, figure in the buck.skil
hunting shirt and wide. brimmed hat il
which Custer always appeared on tn
pluns. The pedestal, as stated, IS o
granite, having upon each Of its iou
sides bronze medallions of uniform size
20x32. Upon that. in front, Custer
represented leading his men throug|
