GEORGE G. GoRHAM.-A demand
general is its character-is being made
by the Republican Press of the State
that the State Central Committee speak
ing for the Republican Party, shall de-
lnand the removal Of George G. Gorham
from his position as member of the Nat.
ipnal Republican Committee, represent
ing California. This the State Central
Committee could and should do at its
earliest convenience but 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. Gorham's own good judgment
viii relieve his old party friends from
taking such action. by resigning a posi-.
ton ho has not the slightest political
right to hold. Mr.. Gorham without
cause or provocation abandoned the
Republican Party and joined forces with
the Democratic Party, in order to defeat
the old Organization, and failing in that
act Of political mstricide, he has no right
TO expect to be re- instated into or to hold
for moment the places held by him in
the Party which he abandoned, as il
nothing had happened. We trust that
Mr.. Gorham will resign from the Nation
al Republican Committee if not that
Committee must see to it that his place
be declared vacant, and Glled by another.
The Republicans OF California demand it.

WE Don't KNOW An exchange
having its headquarters in the carbonate
belt OF Colorado proposes a conundrum
which we give up. 1t says; IF ! am
using my muscle and small capital in
sinking shaft, say two feet a day, in
hope of striking mineral, why should Mr..
Longpurse be permitted to come along
with his bank account, and, putting in two
or three shifts. run hole down within
so feet of me at the rate of 10 feet to my
one, and on striking mineral before me,
proceed to survey in my little patch of
ground. shaft aud ali?" The fate OF the
prospector seems to be that of every man
who is struggling for existence, namely,
inability TO realize any benefits from the
results Of his weary toll. Pioneers leave
a name behind then, and are cited ms ex-
amples ofself-sacrifce, ETC., etc ); but so
far as legal protection of their rights is
concerned, there seems to be room for
substantial changes in the law.-Mining

DEATH OF ZAcn CHANDLER. The
telegraph reports the sudden death oG
Senator Chandler, at Chicago, last Fri
day night. He was found dead in Lis
bed at the Grand Pacific Hotel on Satur-
day morning. having been requested to be
called at o'clock, that he might return
u his home in Michigan by Sunday. He
had been speaking in Wisconsin, and on
the night preceding his death, spoke to
an immense concourse of people in Chi
cago, with his usual force and earnest
ness. After the meeting he complained
of Indigestion, and his friends wanted
him to remain until Saturday evening for
rest. He had complained of the same
distressed feeling before, but no one
thought it TO be so serious. In the morn
ing, the office boy called him as requested,
but bearing no response to repeated calls,
Tho hotel clerk effected an entrance
through the traEsom, and found the Sen,
ator was dead. The body was not quite
cold, and the physician decided that
death occurred about three hours previ
Gus. The face looked tranquil, showing
that his death was painless.

NEW POSTAL ORDER.-The Post Mas
ter General has recently issued an order
to all Post Masters requiring that all
mail matter which is not addressed to a
Post Office, with the name of the State
also, shall be forwarded to the Dead Let
ter Office at Washington. This will ne
cessitate great care on the part of persons
mailing letters, papers and packages
Much of the mail matter arriving at the
Weaverville Office comes addressed to
Indian Creek, Canon City, New River
and other points that are not Post Offices.
Under the new order all this matter will
be sent 70 the Dead Letter Office instead
Of its destination. Parties residing here
will please be careful when addressing
mail matter to relatives and friends to
see that :hey address it to Post Office
and add the name OF the State. For the
convenience of those writing to this coun J.,
ty we add a complete list of the Post Of
ices herein, as follows: Altoona, Big
Bar, Burnt Ranch. Cedar Flat, Douglas
City. Hay Fork. Junction City, Lewis.
ton, Lowden Ranch, Mnersville, Trinity
Center and Weaverville. Mail matter
addressed to any other point in the coun
will not come. When person addressed
lives at a point which is not Post Office
the nearest Post Office should be address
ed. Where the nearest Post Office is un-
known it is generally best to address to
the County Seat and add the local resi-
dence.

The REPUBLICAN BooM.-Although
the returns from Tuesdays Eastern cleo
tions are incomplete they are suficien. to
show large Republican gains throug hout
The country. New York, Massachusetts,

lican. II New York the plurality for
Cornell, Republican for Governor is
placed Mt 1000 b. the lowest estimates,
while the election Of the entire State
ticket is claimed with possibly the ex-
ception of Soue for Engineer. The
Legislature will have 6S Republican ma
jority on joint ballot which will insure
the election of a Republican to the Unit

in New York agree that the res alt ia that

NEEDS REvIsIoN.-The appointment
of Special Commission to draft such
laws and amendments to the Codes as
they may deem necessary to make the
Codes and Statutes conform to the pro-
visions of the New Constitution, seems to
invite suggestions and we give the fol-
lowing as it was given to US. Under the
existing law Toll Roads are allowed TO
charge such rates as viii bring them in a
profit of not less than 10 nor more than
Is per cent. on the cost of construction of
such roads. The change desired is slmp
ly to make the present actual cash value
OF the roads the basis instead of the cost
of construction. An instance has been
cited to us where Toll Road was sold
for $3.50 and the purchasers came before
the Board of Supervisors with a
statement that the "cost of c0nstruc-
ton" of the road was $4,000 and
asked that rates Of tol! be fixed
accordingly. The unjust and oppressive
nature OF such demand is too plain to
require any argument in favor of relief
1t is matter which should receive at
tention either at the hands OF the Com,
mission or those OF the incoming Legis.

SOMEBODY says that the best way to
make town grow and become place
OF importance is to encourage every one,
espec mly new men, to come and settle
among you, particularly those who are
active, whether they have capital or not.
Go to work, stimulate every Legitimate
enterprise by giving it hearty encourage
ment. Cultivate genuine public spirit,
help your neighbors, encourage your To-
cal authorities, when right, in improve
ments tor the benefit of the town you
live in, and in fact everything likely to
advance the public good. 1t is such lit
tie things that maze a town grow. Their
cost is insignificant when divided among
your citizens, but when converted into a
general effort they do their work thor
oughly.

A RUSSIAN aeronaut recently had a
narrow escape from the bewildered in
habitants of a village on the Don. He
had made an ascent from Rostow, and
was about to alight when he saw crowd
collected below, and several shots were
fired at him. On nearing the ground he
found n large assembage armed with
scythes, hatchets and stones. He assur-
ed them that he WAS mortal like them
selves. A priest extending a crucfix,
told him 10 cross b imseif if he was man
and christian. He did so. but he was
not allowed to alight until a Cossack
soldier had explained to the people the
mystery of balooning.
