matter in which they had more vital inter
est than either merchants or property hold
ers. The statement, he continued, contained
in the iSentiheTs editorial on the subject, that
the poor HAL really pays the exhorbitant
charges, is undoubtedly correct, and there
fore no injustice is done the merchant; the
merchant pays his rent, and therefore no in
justice is done the taxpayer, but where from
81 900 to 81 800 is taken from our town to
San Francisco daily never to return, it stands
to reason that the whole community is a loser
to Just that amount and therefore it stands
to reason that everybody is interested.
1t certainly would be better, he continued
warmly, for Mr. Doolin to endeavor to secure
legislation in favor of the laboring classes
than to be arrayed against them. Person
ally, he friendly to the Senator, but
could not uphold him in his present course.
The Sentinel concludes its report by saying
that one of the largest, if not the largest tax
payer in Eureka, who did not want his name
mentioned, said Doolin possessed one good
trait-he was grateful. For" said he.
''the railroad company passed him down free,
and he is only returning compliment.

FOUL PLAY-HUMAN REMAINS IN
SHAFT.

The Lyon County Times of Wednesday tells
the following:
About half past o'clock last Monday after
noon Dan MERRIAM and William Kelly were
at work cleaning the shaft on the Seven by
Eight claim, which is situated about 1900 feet
east of the Dayton mine, to do the work for
the year. Kelly was windlassing on the sur
face, while MERRIAM was filling the bucket ill
the shaft, which is about fifty feet deep. Sud
denly MERRIAM exclaimed:

"What does it look like asked Kelly,

The bucket was hoisted, when it was found
to contain CATERS with the bones of pair of
feet in them The bucket was again lowered
and a man ) trunk, limbs and skull were sue
cessively raised, the skull and arms coming
last. Little or no flesh was on the bones. BY
this time it had got dark and the two men
came back to town and told of their fud.
Yesterday morning they returned TO work,
and E. w. Harris the asSayer, and Bart. Der

20 examine the remains. While looking
about Harris saw something tied up in rag

A Ren0rh0bte journal. 4

The official organ of the Chinese Gov
ernment, known as the Pekin Gdzette, is
certainly a most remarkable journal
Not only is 1t the oldest newspaper in
existence, but it is highly probable that
it was the first journal ever published,
and what is more, the first that was ever
printed; for it is pretty well e'tled that
the spread of news by means of written
documents was attempted in Europe at
certain periods long before the days of
the printing press. The contributors to
the gazette are now and have been for
many centuries, the ablest men in the
country, noted for the attention paid to
education. On this account the files Of
the paper must al some future time prove
of immense service to the histoi ian who
desires to write an account no: only OF
| the Chinese Empire, but of the AsiatiC
| nations with which il times past She has
held diplomatic intercourse.
Although the paper is published under
| the immediate supervision of the Coy
ernment, this much must be said of it
| that its columns have been open to those
! holding divergent opinions, and from thi'
! point of view it has carried out the mod
! ern idea of review more thoroughly
than the modern conception Of news
paper. An instance of this impartality
can be found in the recent publicati1
by it Of the letter written by Wu-ko-tu
one of the board Of vii office, just be
fore his suicide, rcflecting severely on til,
usurpatious actions Of the Empress Re
gent. The intent Of tins document wa
to force them to abdica e and the argu
meuts against their further continuance
in power were very strongly given.
civilized despot would hay" deemed
advisable to suppress his seditious com
muucation, but the Chucse rulers hav
perhaps shown their good sense, as the
certainly have their consciousness G
strength, by giving it the publicity II
author desired.

Mr.. Iifden.

The Hon. VIM. A. Wallace, the dem
ocratic u. 5. Senator from Pennsylvania,
addressed a large mass meeting al the
Academy OF Music, Philadelphia, Sat
urday evening. The feature OF his ad-
dress was covert attack upon Mr.. Til
den, which was instantly recognized by
the audience, and created a great deal OF
d satisfaction. Said the speaker "The
cry of fraud is the cry of the thief who
is pursued [Applause.l No man smirch-
ed with fraud can have the leadership in

racy will strip for the contest and discard
every weight. Applause and cheers.
Fraud i'll Oregon, or fraud III fhlladel-
phia, frauds in Louisiana, or frauds in
New York, are eq1ally to be eliminated

issues must be made luminous and well
defined. They must stand out bold,
clear and sharp. We cannot and We
will not be handicapped to suit the am
bitlon of any man. Manipulation OF
primaries and presses, of bureaus and
conventions are not the methods OF an
organization about to join in death

rule, ,Pcnnsylyanian by birth and clean Of

defined, and personal issues relegated to

At this point some one shouted GLOW

Iloratio Seymour,that grand old politi

political experience | have seen and felt
so much of the evils which men bring
upon themselves by discord that | can
not refrain from warning you, to whom
/ am under so many and great obligations,
against dssensions in your own ranks
Men are apt to think that the results of
election chiefly affect candidates for high
offices. This is a great error. They fall
| upon the mass of the voters in tenfold
greater degree than upon those who are
called leading men. AS a rule these are
| advanced in life. In a little while they
will pass away. Personal controversies
among the young and active may live for
many years to harm and embarrass them.
1t may be in the power Of men to crafty
some passing prejudices or Interest by de-
feating those of their own political faith
but 1t never fails in the course of time
that such things come back to harm and
plague those who indulge in persona
