DEATH o. Ex.QOvEBNOR BEAD.
LEY.
At 10 o'clock yesterday. we received .
private dispatch, announcing the death.
at Emo. at I A. H., Of Ex-Governor L. r..
Bradley. The immediate cause Of his
death was dropsy. though he had heen In
declining health for several years. and e.
p~ecially since the beginning Of the present
year.
Deceased was . native Of Madison county,
virgins, and was born in 1905, being .
little the rise Of "a years Of age st the
time Of his death. He immigrated to the
State Of Missouri in about the year 1882,
settling in Howard county. where he re-
manned until 1851. when he crossed the
plains 70 this ocsst, locating in the San
joaquin Valley, near Stockton. He was
twice elected to the California Legislature
from San joaquin county, and in 1860 went
- a delegate to the National Democratic
Convention ut Charleston. In 1858 he
came to Nevada, and during the same, or
the succeeding year. he made . trip to
Montana Territory with q large band Of
beef cattle. Returning, he engaged in the
butchering business at Austin for several
years, finally making his permanent home
in Pine Valley, which is nov a part Of
Eureka county.
In 1870 he became the Democratic candi-
date for Governor, beating F. A. Tritle,
Republican, 1850 votes. He was renomi-
mated in 1874 and was again successful,
winning over his opponent, DR.. Hazelett,
by . majority Of 2,450. Last fall he was q
candidate for . third term, but fell about
500 votes short Of an election. Both in
public and private life Governor Bradley,
w believe, was always actuated by con-
scientious motives. He was kind and gen.
erous, and conided more than most men
in those he viewed as his friends. He
leaves three children, two daughters and
one son, all Of whom reside in Nevada.
John n. Bradley and Mrs. DR.. Henderson
are residents Of Elko. His youngest
| daughter is the wife of Mayor G. H. Bel
KNAPP, Of Virginia City. To these surviv-
ing members Of the family the liveliest
sympathy Of the people Of Nevada, ire
spcctive Of party, will be extended. In
the death Of the subject Of this notice .
long, useful, and honorable career has
terminated. May the sod press lightly
| upon his grave.

The Secretary Of Wars Report.

The annual report of the operations OF
lhe war department for the last year
has been issued. The report ofthe gen.
eral of the army gives in detail the
strength of the several branches of the
service. and shows the aggregate, as
exhibited in the latest returns, to be
2,lS7 officers, 24,262 men, and 1888 Off
GERS retired. The signal corps, the ord
nance s%ergeants, the commissary SER
geants, the West Point detachment, the
prison guard at Fort Leavenworth and
the recruiting detachments amount to
3,4G3 enlisted men, and are not employed
in the field. The secretary of war joins
heartily with the general of the army
in recommending that the effective
force Of the line of the army be raised
to Is, 900 men, exclusive of those detach-
ments, for the safety of settlers upon the
frontiers. 1t is undeniable, the report
says. TINT most if not all the disasters
attending Indian hostilities are the re-
suit Of inadequacy of military force.
Since the close of the late war ~ifty-fve
officers have been killed in Indian war
fare and a corresponding number
wounded, beside a proportionate num-
Der of men killed and wounded.
The actual expenses Of the war de-
partment for the fiscal wear ending June
80, 1879, were S42,653, 723. go. The esti-
mates for the service of the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1881, are $40, 80,4s8.9 SO.
There were in service on June 30,
TO- 800 horses and l0,032 mules, which,
with an army of $4,000 men, is about
100 beasts to 120 men.
Our army is thoroughly provided
with transportation and is always on =.

The military cemeteries, eighty in
number. are in good order. The work

tracts have been left tor placing marble
headstones on the graves of soldiers
who died during the war and were
buried in private village or city ceme-
teries, and whose friends have not been
able to do this honor to their memory.
The total number of deaths from all
causes reported among the white troops
was 266. Of these 1852 died Of disease,
and lO4 of wounds, accidents and in
juries. Six hundred and seventy-seven
white soldiers are reported to have
been discharged the service on "Sur.

Wonian's Rule.

Francis Parkman has an article on the
woman question in the North american
Review. 1t will be seen from the following
extract that he is notin favor of women
in politics: There are some means OF
Judging from experience whether they
are likely to exert in public life the ben
efcent powers ascribed to them. Many
countries in Europe have been governed
by queens, and this at a time when to
wear a crown meant to hold a dominant
power. According to theory, these fe-
male reigns ought to have shown more
virtuous and benign government than is
generally shown under the rule Of men.
The facts do not answer to the expecta-
ton. Isabella of CASTLE was full of
amiable qualities, but she permitted her
self to be made the instrument Of dia-
bolical religious persecution. Catharine
II. of Russia was one OF the ablest
women who ever held a sceptre, and one
of the most proligate. Maria Theresa
of Austria wa in many respects for
above the common level: but she was q
sharer in what has been called n of
the greatest political crimes-the parti-
ton of Poland. That outrage was the
work of three accomplices-rwo women
and a man--the Empress of Russia, the
Archduchess of Austria and the King OF
Prussia. The reign of Henry ". of
France was one Of the most beneticent
in history. His first queen was a pro-
fligate, and lis second a virago, gravely
suspected Of having procured his assass-
ination in collusion with her lover. The
last wife of Louis w. was discreet and
devout; but she favored the dragon
nades, and called her brother to share
the spoils ofthose atrocious prosecutions.
A throng of matchless statesmen, sol
diers, philosophers and poets made the
reign of Elizabeth of England brilliant
and great. 1t was adorned by the high
and courageous spirit of the queen, and
was sullied by her meanness, jealousy
and vanity. Mary of England lives in
the memory of her bloody prosecutions.
Mary of Scotland was the thorn of her
kingdom. Her destinations have out
lived three centuries. and so have her
tumults Of unbridled love and the dark
suspicion of crime that rests upon her.
The mother of Charles TX. of France
fomented, if she did notcause, the fright
full massacre of St. Bartholomew, and
surrounded herself with a bevy of beau
full and INSCRIPTIONS girls whose charms
she used systematically as 4 means of
political influence. There have been
many bad kings, many Indifferent ones.
and few who earned the gratitude of all
time. Many women have worn crowns,
hut we look among them in vain for n
of those royal be~nefactors to the race.
Not that women have less power for
GOOD than men. In some circumstances
thew have more. Their desire for good
is often intense; but This desire has not
been best fulfilled in the field of poll

How Many People Have Fifty Dollars

Some n said the other day that in
the entire world the number of people
who had $50, or its equivalent in cash,
at their command was extremely small
so small, indeed, that altogether they
would not cutnumber the inhabitants
of the little kingdom of Belgium. which
has 10 population of 5000, 600 souls. BAT
this estimate appears to be far below the
mark in the light of the fact that in the
savings banks of France in 1877 there
were deposited no less than Sl53,600,-
600 by 1888, 263 depositors, the average
sum of each depositcr being 500. The
number of these depositors continually
increases, and they are, to a very large
extent, members of the working classes.
So in England, also, the number of de-
p~ositors in the postal savings bank IS
yery large-not less, on the whole, than
two millions-and their deposits. on an
average, amount nearer to $3.50, the
limit allowed than to $50. In Scotland
and Ireland the savings Of the people
are large and constantly increasing. In
Germany the people do not generally
place their savings in banks, but they
have comfortable little sums laid away
in teapots and old stockings. This,
also, is the case in France. In this
country the number of people who have
$50 ut their command must amount TO
quite rs many az in either France, Ger.
many or Great Britain. The world o
working people is not nearly so poor ns

"that he will ever be q general. He
wants comprehensiveness. He cannot

a But he is an admirable partisan.
When he was in Italy with 5000 men
one of his spies told him that he had dis
covered a couple of leagues off an Aus
TRAN force Of about 5000 men, who
were not aware of his proximity, and
could be surprised and cut off. The spy
was a traitor. There were $4,000 Aus
TRANS, and the spy had been sent to de-
Gov Garibaldi into attacking them. With
his usual impetuosity, he fell into the
trap, marched against the Austrians and
found when he approached them that
they far outnumbered him and were
prepared. Most men would have re-
treited, been followed and destroyed.
He attacked the Austrians with such
vigor that they thought their spy must
have deceived them, and that Garibaldi
was in force. He drove them from their
position, and pursued them for a couple
of miles, when they discovered the
smallness' of his numbers and turned
back on him; his troops, active and IN
incumbered, saved themselves in the
mountains. "-Fortniqhtly Revtev.

The Secretary Of the Interiors Report.

In his report of the condition OF the
affairs of the Interior Department, Secre-
tary Schurz SAYS that the difficulties con-
nected with what is styled the Indian
problem " have been steadily growing In
consequence of the demand for Western
lands for agricultural and mining pur-
poses.
Speaking of the presence of troops
among the Indians, Mr.. Schurz says
that it is an error to suppose that the
constant presence of force is necessary to
keep the tribes quiet. Of the seventy-one
Indian agencies, eleven have military
posts in their immediate vicinity, and
fourteen with a military post within
three days march. Of the four disturb
ances within the last two years, three
occurred in the immediate presence OF
military force. He says: while / am
by no means disposed to belittle the
deplorable nature of Indian disturbances
or the great value Of u military force in
suppressing them, it is but just to the
Indians to point out the important fact
that disturbance and hostility is the
exception and peaceful conduct the rule;
that a very large majority of Indian
reservations are in a condition of uHin.
terrupted quiet, without the presence Of
a coercing force"
Mr.. Schurz's Indian policy" is de-
fined thus: First, to set the Indians to
work as agriculturists or herders, thus
to break up their habits of savage life
and to make them self-supporting; Sec
ond, to educate their youth of both
sexes 80 as to introduce to the growing
generation civilized ideas, wants and
aspirations; third, to allot parcels Of
land to Indians in severalty, and to give
them individual title to their farms in
fec inalienable for a certain period, thus
to foster the pride of individual owner
ship of property, instead of their former
dependence upon the tribe with it's terri
tory held in common; tour.H, when set
Element in severalty with Individual
title is accomplished, to dispo.e, with
their consent, of those lands on their
reservations which are not settled anu
used by them, the proceeds to form a
fund for their benefit, which will gradu-
ally relieve the government of the ex-
pcnses ut present provided for by annual
appropriations; fifth, when this is
accomplished, to treat the Indians like
other inhabitants Of the United States
under the laws of the land"
The report concludes with remarks on
the generally encouraging state of In
dian affairs, and with the recommended
ton that a law be enacted to authorize
the sale Of timber from public lands
under the direct supervision Of govern
ment officers, and that q commission be
appointed, composed of qualified per-
sons, to study the laws and practices
adopted in other countries for the pre-
servation and cultivation of forests.
