HOW FOULkS TREED DAVIES.

Yesterday in his speech, wherein he cham
pioned the Virginia and Truckee and strove
to procure the passage of resolution whose
purpose it was to procrastinate all action and
impede the work of the Committee of Four
teen, Davies was profuse in his terms of de
nunciation of the Central Pacific, but declared
he wanted time to investigate the affairs of
the &C local road Then Assemblyrnan Foulks,
with very keen and ready wit, pilloried the
inconsistency of the Dolly Warden apolegist
in this fashion "The gentleman from Orms
by processes a great familiarity with the affairs
of the Central Pacific, foreign corporation,
whose nearest station is thirty miles away !;
but assumes a woful ignorance of the matters
and things of the Virginia and Truckee Rail
road, corporation organized under your
State laws, with headquarters in Carson, and
the shrieks of whose locomotives are even now
ringing in our ears" This was a shot be-
tween wind and water and there was n"
answering so effective fusilade.

THE MECHANICS UNION STRIKE
AT BODIE

A special to the MORNING APPEAL informs
us concerning the excitement at Bodie as
follows:
The strike of the Mechanics Union remains
the same The members held meeting to-
day with closed doors. We are unable to
ascertain the proceedings. The Mining Su-
perintendents held a meeting to-day and de-
cided to resist any interferences by the Me
chanics, and would keep closed down and
import engineers if necessary. The Mono
Company kept an armed guard at their mine
all night. There was no demonstration there.
The following mines are closed: Standard
new works, Bodie, Bechtel, Blackha wk ,
South Bodie, Dudley, Queen Bee, Goodshaw,
South Bulwer and Tioga. The Miners I'm
ion disclaims any connection with the strike,
and will hold a meeting this evening. They
will probably take action in the matter, as 1t
throws many of their men out of employment.
No violence is anticipated now.

THOE ANNUAL REPORTS.

VIVA. let us ask again, has become of AS
sessJly bill No 10, calling for annual reports
frm the railroad companies doing business
L his State and fixing penalty for non
compliance! What is there about such bill
AZ this that demands tFs mysterious delay7
What, let us ask, is there in the business of
the railroads within this State that demands
40 strange an evasion OF the law2 Does not
this protracted and persistent silence suggest,
even to the apologists and allies of the rail-
road, in and out of the Legislature, the ne
cessity for a thorough sitting of the affairs of
those corporations! Let us have this bill
acted upon without more delay. There is no
possible excuse for its longer withholding by
the committee in whose hands it is. Either
pass it or kill it.

PETTEFoGGING THE RAILROAD CASE

On Wednesday night at the meeting of the
Legislative Railroad Committee of Fourteen
Assembyaan Davies of Ormsby County
(sho has developed into the special attorney
for the Virginia and Truckee Railroad Com
pany), was guilty of the unparalleled petit
Jogging Of assuming that the burden of proof
against the railroads lay with the Storey
County Committee of Twenty three. :" The
law said this new y-acqulred railroad advo-
cate, provides that the railroad may charge
2 } cents per ton per mile; the Storey County
Committee assumes that the maximum of
freight charge should be ten cents per ton
Per mile 1t remains for the Storey Commit
re to make their good by proofs.
Such. III effect, is Mr. Davies remarkable
position. Is it any wonder that blunt and
rate member If tie Citizens Committee
frankly told Davies IN the Ormsby House or
Wednesday night that he considered him
wearing the collar OF the V Il T. Railroad?
Senator CutiIs, with amazing complacency,
asaunes that the CoIlmittee of Fourteen is "a
court to which the Committee of Twenty
Three have brought case for trial This
gentleman seems to be particularly appre-
hensIve lest the railroads shall suffer at the
hands of all unjust and agrarlan movement.
Has ne forgotten that the Virginia < Truckee
Railroad is the result of moneys contributed
by the people; is he not aware that its man
ayers have never complied with the law re
airing annual reports; and does he not know
saat twenty cents per ton per mile and ten
cents per head per passenger is grievous
ara unprecedented extortion! Or does he
tairk that the people have no rights that the
railroads are bound to respect

REBEL RULE IN MISSISSIPPI.

We copy as follows from a report of the
proceedings before the Teller Committee;
VIM. Nasser. native of Virginia, but liv-
ing at Aberdeen since 1874, testified that he
was baptized in the old Wing party and since
the war was elected on the Acorn ticket as
State Treasurer In the late election he sup
ported the Greenback ticket At Oklahoma
the political meeting was very bosterous -
two thirds of the crowd seemed drunk. While
at West Point ne was called on for a talk.
He was charged with making radical speech.
He put his speech Ill print A crowd cane
in and one person demanded what he was
reading. A good many white people sup
ported Davis.
Senator Cameron of Wsconsin-W What do
you call a Radical speech! Answer-N hat
you would call a Republican speech they
would call Radical and insurrectlonary one.
Everything is called Radical in Mississippi
that is not Democratic. A man who makes
such speech is considered pest, and if the
speaker is a man of ability he is considered a
dangerous pest 4 man 5 social and business
citations are affected by his political opinjns.
senator Kirkwood- What is a Radical
Answer-I think Republican Senate would
he called Radical-everybody not a Demo
crat. But you will find III Mississippi middle
aged men and men advancedln lite no ale
moderate and respectful t al citizens The
confusion and bolsterus and illegal conduct
are confined to the Ounger men, the politics
of Mississippi icing largely governed by
your" en-
osr Teller-Why can not the Republi
'uer party be reorganized in Mississippi?
Republican party there is vir-
tually dead. 1t has had no vitality since
1879 or 1876 The leaders were mostly
Northern men, and since the State passed |
into Democratic hands the Republicans have |
been without leaders. The whites would take |
every measure possible to prevent the State |
from again falling into Republican hands. |
The people have great horror of being ruled |
by the coored people.
Senator Teller-Is there any objection to |
Northern people coming into the State An |
sxer-They look on it as an intrusion. J |
think the people have been demoralzed by |
the war.
Witness said he bad heard of no convic-
ions in the Chisholm murder case. There
Was an effort in Mississippi to divide the Dem
ocratic party and he would use his influence
20 induce the colored men to vote his way.
Senator kirkwood-What protection is
here for negroes who vote your way! An
given by white men. The
,olored man will vote for any man in opposi
ion to the Democratic party, if he can be
Senator Crmeron--It has been claimed tt It

Republicans and Democrats. Answer-My

THAT LIEN LAW.

Simultaneously in the Senate and Assembly
bills amendatory of the lien law in respect to
the outrage put upon the wood choppers were
some time since introduced. The Senate bill
(Boartlmans) was passed. Lanes bill, in the

HOW WE EXPORT HONEY.

Honey is becoming an important article Of
export. Honey IN the comb is the shape III
which this concentrated sweetness is pre-
ferred ''Last year one New York firm sent
over 800 900 pounds, chiefly to England.
Most of this, however, went in jars, either as
pure extracted honey or as comb honey
that is, as honey bottled with portions of
broken comb remaining i'll it. Honey, when
sold in comb. brings a much higher price IN
the United States than the honey sold III
jars, and time, patience, money and skill
have been devoted to the production of small,
clean, compact and perfect sections OF honey
comb in boxes, so as to be readily saleable,
as we see it in the shop of the retail grocer.
Americans in general are familiar with these
little boxes, made with four glass sides and
a strip of wood at the top and bottom. They
are placed, empty, in the upper part of the
hive, for the bees to store the surplus honey
in. and, as each box is filled it can be lifted
out and replaced with empty one, in
which the bees can continue their labOrs
Various contrivances, mechanical and scien-
tific. are used in the United States to dimin-
sh the labor of the bees The difficulty in
making honey large article of export has
hitherto been in getting the cOmb-honey into
England without loss of great part of the
shipment by breakages. The rough handling
Of the packages on board ship, slung up from
the ward arm and let down with a run,
causes large percentage of breakage among
the glass boxes, with the spelling and smash
ing of their fragile, waxen contents. Messrs
Thurber, extensive honey dealers in New
York, have tried during the last four years
to get the comb honey into Eng land i'll good
condition. They succeeded last year in eff
fecting this for the Paris Exhibition, where
their display of the honey comb In the patent
hive boxes attracted much attention, and OBJ
tanned one medal from the Exhibition judges
and another from the French Agricultural So
ciety ''for the best honey. Last November,
Mr. Hoge manager for the Messrs Thurber,
safely landed a consignment of 80 tons III
Liverpool, and on January 9th landed on the
wharf at Mapping, London, a lot OF 100 TONS
conveyed by them from New York. Out Of
$500 cases in this shipment, containing over
100000 pounds of honey, scarcely any boxes
sustained any injury III Cransit. Mr.. Hoge
had his cases security boarded up between
bulkheads on hH,teamer, and the unloading
was done bov'a gang of men, who carefully
passed che cases overland down the ships
sid INTO the lighter, and from the lighter on
to the wharf With this matter thus satsfac-
torially settled, the future of the comb honey
export trade may be regarded as assured.
The immense quantity of over 50 10000
pounds of honey is annually produced and
sold in the United States, and this produce
can easily be almost immeasurably increased.

GOVERNOR BRADLEY. of the whereabouts

ley the Elko Independent of Tuesday says:
Ex-Governor Bradley, accompanied by his
son, John r. Bradley, and Miss Georgia
Walker, niece of Senator G. Il. Shepherd,
arrived from Lathrop, California, by the
train last evening. The old gentleman en-
dured the fatigue of the journey much better
than was expected, and reached the residence
of his son somewhat exhausted, but without
being distressed in the slightest. Rooms
have been prepared for him at the Hot Sui
phur Springs, just below town, and he will
try the virtues of those waters for few days;
his son, John Bradley, remaining with him,
during his stay. The Governor was removed
to the Springs easily and comfortably about
noon day. 1t will be a source of satlstac-
ton to his numerous friends to know that
the old gentleman is slowly recovering from
his late attack, and it is now thought that he
will in due time be fully restored to his usual

of Wednesday, speaking of the Equalization
Bill, says:
This bill was undoubtedly designed for the
purpose of making railroad taxation uniform
throughout the several counties in the State.
We believe it passed the Senate by unani nous
vote, and was referred to a committee in the
Assembly. That committee has not reportc
so far, in favor of or against its passage. 1t
ought to be brought before the House and its
provisions discussed before the last days of
the session, when, under the plea of more
important business, it may be laid on the
table until the Legislature adjourns sine die.
1t proposes practical and Inexpensive method
of equalizing taxation on property, particu-
larly railroads, situate in two more coun-
ties, and it ought to become a law.

A FOOTPRINT.

As an evidence that the ancient inhabitants
Of tht Btse Range were men of no less ur-
derstandiug than the Charcoal Burners of the
present age, we reproduce the following from
the Eureka LenIer If 'TuesCar
Mr. Walker. who has been working in the
newly opened stone quarry, uear the mouth
of New York canyon, brought singular and
interesting specimen TO the Lender Office this
morning, the same being slab of sandstone
about twenty inches long, fourteen inches
wide and some three inches in thickness.
The popularity of the rock is in the imprint
upon its surface Of gigantic foot, perfect in
shape and contour, with the exception of a
toe, the little one, which is missing BY
measurement it is fourteen and half inches
from the outer rim of the heel to the end of
the great toe and six inches wide on the bali
of the foot. The print is sunk into the rock
to a depth of half an inch. Mr.. Walker
claims to have taken it from the top of the
sandstone formation, at point where about
two feet of soil rested upon it, The rock is
firm and hard in texture, and forbids the idea
of it's being artificial work. 1t is possible
that there were giants in those days, days
when the track was made, and that the speci-
men is the footprint of pioneer who ante
dates the earliest known settler. Dir. Walker
has disposed of his find to scientific gent"
who will send it to the Smithsonian Institute
at Washington.

DECEMBER AS PLEASANT A

We have been having spring-like

seems as if the winter months had
fallen out and that spring had follow
cd fall" Last Sunday it was a little
colder and froze a little. Monday it
was little colder and fr0Ze q little
more. Tuesday morning it was warm
er and raining, though little snow
had fallen, the frost Was gone, the
roads muddy, and grass green and
growing. During the day it was some
times q little misty and sometimes a
little driZZly or rainy. In the evening
there was some rain, and about Six
o'clock there were several vivid flash
es of lightning and loud claps Of thun-
der, and again about seven there were
a little lightning and thunder This
Wednesday morning it was raw and
cold, but not cold enough to freeze the
mud, and when we now write, at 1890
Wednesday forenoon, the sun shines
and from our office it looks pleasant
out doors. Such in brief is what the
weather has been SO far in December.
What it will be hereafter, we can tel
only after it has been. Thus far De
cember has been as pleasant as May
In the afternoon Wednesday it is
windy, sunshiny and freezing.
