Neither, therefore, PRODUCES any di.

parted by the enthusiasm excited du.
ring election seasons. Twice each
year the entire people OF the State
are brought in Immediate contact
with the Judiciary, and their ideas o,
government arc conceived from what
they fad inside. the Court room
These conceptions arc elevated or de-
based in proportion to The character
of the judge rs q prcservcr Of the
majesty OF The law, the bearing Of the
lawyers as defenders Of the rights OF
the people, and the wisdom OF The
jury as keepers Of the liberty Of The
citizen. If either OF these clements
fail III ils appropriate Office, the
government can employ nc force TO
maintain correct standard Of virtue
lor It's citizens, and certainly none TO
secure obedience outside Of physical
force. II the judge becomes unreIia-
BILE, or the lawyer lose sigh: of the
responsibility Of his Office and barlcrs

government and the measure Of It's
authority may be estimated hy tie
purity of It's judiciary department.
Make it Independent and pure SO that
its decisions hold the scales Of justice
at equal poisc and you draw about
the Court all the respect and conf
dcnce Of n law-abiding people who
love their country and honor its gov
ernmcnt. The tlimilution Of crime
in society, and the present ability, Of
the government TO enforce its author
ity are due, in great measure, TO
the purity and independence Of the
Judiciary 80 now constituted with
such men as Aldrich, Wallace, Kcr-
shaw and their colleagues on the
bench. Il was notiso in the days Of
South Cardinals deep humiliation
when the Court room was market
hall where Judge, jury and lawyers

Referring 10 the verdict Of the Cor.
onsr's jury In the case OF the mon killed
by the recent overwindipg accident OF
the Union shaft. and the recommenda-
ton BY the jury to mining companies oil
the adoption Of some mechanical device
or appliance to prevent such accidents In
future from that cause. the Enterprise e.
presses the opinion that mining superin-
tsndents are not likely TO take kindly to
the recommendation. They say they are
notnssdsd or used enough to keep them
In repair and when wanted will not work,
having become rusty. At the time the
hosting engine at the O. 20. shaft was
started. says the Enterprise, there was
put In the best ovsrwindins preventive
apparatus that could be found. It stood
there until recently. and ss there never
occurred Q case Of o~vsrvindius. 1t never
came into use. When II va taken down
IL vas found 10 b quite immovabls.
The above merely goes to show that
the apparatus adopted at the Q. d O.
shaft was detective. Incident and use
less. Had IL bssn constructed on proper
principles. il would need no psrticu.
lar attention and would NOT become
rusty or imperative. Several de-
vices have been recommended at
various times and Il Is not at oil
difacult to find or adopt somsthins
Of the kind that will not fail to work
and prevent any accident like the one
mentioned. A mechanical device for
that specific purpose has been In use at
the Justice mine for about . year and .
half which works perfectly and requires
little or NO attention. Something Of the
sort should b adopted at all other mines
- well. The lives Of our miners can
not b too carefully guarded.

The Carson Mini.

wAsHNoros, December s.-witb rsf.
srsnoe to the recon. pointed comments
Of several Pacific coast newspapers, It Is
stated at the Treasury Department tina.
the reason for s~uspsndins operations at
the Carson City Mint vas because sufa.
cisnt bullion could not be obtained In
that vicinity to warrant continuing the
coinage at Carson. This, according 10
tho Departments information, was owing
to the fact that the principal Nevada
mine owners have preferred TO ship their
bullion direct to San Francisco, because
they were pecuniariiy interested In .
large private refinery there. Director
Burchard says the rates for purchasing
silver for the Carson Mint have been
liked from time to time at precisely the
same figures % for the Philadelphia and
Ban Francisco Minis, and that whenever
It L. found that . sufficient quantity Of
bullion can DO obtained to justify opsr.
ating the Carson Mint, the coinage at
Carson will b resumed.

ton wal found against him during the
war BY quite . number Of people. Also

paisns. Even little old dried.up Sammy

Grant In the eyes Of some Democrats.
Neither Of the two gentlemen last
named, especially JEFF, ever admired
