Kearney has made himself champion and is
fighting to make his following champions OF
the proposed Constitution. There is much
good in the purposes of the Workingmen' 5

prerogatives which the trainers of our Con-

been made indirectly by Congressional law.
Our nation is radically opposed to the estab-

This kind of mogul creation is not apt 70 be
successful under present conditions. The fact
that the commonest kind of men have been

for digestion in Republican stomachs. The
process of nobility manufacture on this coast

them up into superiority above the populace
on the ground work of dollars and cents, is
beginning to react. Hereafter, TO keep this
reaction, the popular efforts at leveling, with

stave off revolution in society which we have
grave reasons to apprehend, is going to be an
sbsorbing and vital problem for politicians,
legislators and all true friends of genuine re-
publicanism. Kearney may be nothing more
than an sgitstor but he is even now talking to
large, eager and appreciative audiences.

ITEMS.

The Eureka Leader of the 18th says: One
OF the meanest acts on record was perpetrated
last night. A teamster who had hauled a
load of hay from Huntington Valley had tied
up for the night on Main street, near the
foundry, and, during his absence up town,
some inhuman wretch. stabbed large bay
horse, between the fore legs, infiicting wound
eight inches Deep When discovered the an
imal was almost dead from loss of blood, and
will probably die If there is a hell, the vii
lain will roast in the hottest corner of it.
With regard to promising mine, the Times
Revie,o has the following: The Golden Idol
mine, near Blythe City, which was bonded a
few months ago by S. B. Moray of the Blue
jacket mine, is being worked by small force
of men with fair prospect of developing a
good mine. The shaft has been sunk more
than hundred feet, and work goes on rather
slowly. The formation is hard, but the assays
from the ore are fattering, and few months
labor may develop one of the best paying
mining properties in the northern end of the
county.
Yankee Fork District, Idaho, has some of
the richest gold quartz mines in the world.
The Charles Dickens mine has $500, 900 worth
of ore on the dump, and several millions of
ore in sight. Mr.. Norton, the owner, pound
ed out by hand sll 900 in one month by Sc
lection of ore 1t is predicted that there will
be FROM 5000 to 10000 people there before
the close Of the season. Several persons have
left Carson recently for the above district.
From eight to sixteen cars of steel rails pass
road.
The Silver State of Saturday says NJ S.
Thompson, Senator from this county, is regis
tered at the Grand Hotel, San Francisco. He
will probably keep away from his constitu-
ents until their indignation cools. Meantime
we are informed that move will be made to
him to resign, as he did not represent
the interests of the people who elected him
in the Legislature 1t is probable that not
one in twenty of those who voted for Mr.
Thompson last November are in favor OF his
retaining the position to which he was elected
A grand excursion from Washington to San
Francisco is planned for the coming summer
to meet and welcome Grant on his homeward
bound trip. The excursion will require 100
to 125 trains of ten cars each.
In Montana, blooded stock, WOODEN mills

The Elko Independent says that the numer-
Gus friends of Governor Bradley will be

cry from his long and tedious illness.

PROTECTION OF GAMs.-We learn from the
Elko Post that club is being formed in that
town for the purpose of putting stop to the
raids of pot hunters. This is an excellent idea.
The matter should have been taken in hand
some time ago. Up to within three or four
Summers past it was an easy thing to bag
from dozen to dozen and half young
sage hens or prairie chickens in half day,
game has been thinned out to such an extent
that it is necessary to travel half day from
the county seat before any good lively hunt
ing ground can be reached. ..-

One OF Charlotte Cushman's Last An.
pearanceS.

One of Charlotte Cushman's positive.
~ last appearances on the stage was in
Boston, and much ado was made owe
the presentation of two bronze figures
on the last night of the engagement.
The secret of that affair is told in the
Boston Traveller, by the man who con-
Quoted it He says that he was employ
ed by the late Arthur Cheney, manager
OF the theater, to devise some means of
arousing public interest. The idea of a
testimonial was discussed, and Miss
Cushman made out q list of persons
who she thought would give money for
the purpose. All of them but one, how
ever, refused to contribute, and it was
with great difficulty that $500 was Sc
cured. The intention had been to raise
$3.50. "The presentation was made"
the writer continues, sand, as I thought,
the matter was ended. On the follow
ing Monday morning, however, l re-
ceived a message from Miss Cushman
requesting me to call. On entering the
room, Miss Cushman's first salutation
was, 'Who was responsible for that gift
on Saturday night?' Il was.' :Didn't
you know 1 had reduced copies of those
bronzes at my villa at Newport?' Il did
not well, 1 have, and 1 wish you to
see if you can't have those that were
presented on Saturday night turned into
something in silver, or else get me a
cash equivalent for them, for l don't

THE WASP AND THE BEE.

In a garden sweet and fair,
Once a bright and busy pair
Held a brief conversation on n lily.
MI. Wasp" remarked the Bee,
Your maneuvers puzzle me-,
You must either be a lazy rogue, or silly.
'sIn the school where you were taught,
Was the fact before you brought
That our time IL equivalent to money?
Now for days and days we've met
Mid the pinks and m~ignonette,
But you never seem to carry any honeyW
Said the Wasp: " You make me smile
With your blunt, o~utspoken style,
You have many things TO learn, l must dc
For a thousand sunny hours
You've been pumping at the flowers.
And you never dreamed of poison beinl
there.
"From the phlox and columbibe,
bleeding heart and Byzantine,
Soon your treasury OF honey-comb you fill;
While i, coming in your wake,
From the self same blossoms take
All the rankest sort Of poison by the gill.
L me whisper I'm your ear:
have found while roaming here
Over garden. over orchard, over field,
That the fairest growths of flowers
Which adorn these haunts Of ours.
The most deadly kind of poison often yields"
"BIess my sting," exclaimed the Bee,
Every day we live to see
Will some wonder carry with It, i suppose.
Who would think a nauseous drug
Could be stored away SC snug,
In the heart of such q blossom US q rosc"
And, with that it flew away,
To "a field of blooming hay,
On the buttercup and daisy to alight;
While the Wasp set out to find
Something suited to his mind,

The Commerce Of All Nations.

Professor Spollart, Of Vienna, hes
been to the trouble of compiling Stats
tics of the commerce Of all nations for
the year 1876, OF course, some Of his
figures must of necessity be approx
NATIVE only, but for all purposes Of
comparison they are correct enough.
He finds that the aggregate commerce
of the world for that year was about
S14, OOO 100000, of which ~s7,474,4OO,-
900 consisted of imports and 1885,
100000 of exports. Geographically,
the commerce was distributed Is fol-
lows: Europe, T.25 per cent Of the
whole; North and South America, IS 90
per cent. Asia, s.07 per cent. For Eu-
rope, the foreign commerce averages
s34.52 per head of population; for
America, 1882 2 for Asia, S1.40; for
Australia, 1885, Il, and for Africa,
1852. With about two-thirds of the
whole population of the globe, Asia ex-
changes with the outside world only
s1.40 per head of popula,ion-only
about one-eighth of her proportionate
share.

An Eventful Career Ended.

James G. Slocum died in Bryan (O.)
County Jail 8 few days since, where he
was confined on a charge of getting
money by false representations. He was
taken there from Hannibal, Mo-, where
he was under arrest for bigamy, having
married q widow. He had q wife and
three children living in this city, and
they are here now. He married first in
Michigan over 20 years ago, and mar
ried the widow last June. Slocum was
q large railroad contractor. In 1865 he
was Superintendent of the Western Di-
vision of the Erie Railway. Before that
he VS. Division Superintendent of the
Hannibal and st. 10. In 1869 he built
q railroad in Michigan, Judge Chris
tiancy, now Minister 10 Peru, being his
attorney, with whom also he engaged at
the same time in the oil speculations in
Virginia. In 1872 he secured, with 9TH
ers. the contract for building the Roches-
ter and State Line Railroad. That
nearly ruined him. He then began
specializing in Wall Street, where he
shortly lost all. He then came again to
this section, saw his family and went
West, with the result as above. His
wife, Mrs. Slocum, chAritably forgives
him, assigning his actions to mental ab-
erration, brought about by his financial
difficulties In the Rochester Railroad.
He is said to have . wealthy brother IN
Vermont. Mrs. Slocum has been sup
porting herself and children for two or
three years.-ElnirG (N. ~ Gazette.

To know things real from things that seem
II living on the earth we dream of Heavcn,
Why, then, ! hold IL better TO dream.
Let us dream on mid the splendid shadows
That make existence a gladsome thing;
The dim, deep woods and the fowery mead
Ows,
Where fairies frolic and the skylarks sing
Where bright shapes finger. and angel faces
Glow I'm the gleam of a vfsfoned day;
And Ger the upland, on grassy spaces,
Fond lovers wander, fair children play.
Let us dream still, then. nor try To sever
Things that are real from things that seem
Let us slumber on forever and ever,
And know no waking from life's glad dream.
