The immense sale and great POPULAR

troduced in 1868, and for the cure of
dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, with
their effects. such as Sour Stomach,

The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-05-04

The silver question, which divided
parties and localities year or two ago,
is now solving itself. There is grow
ing demand for standard dollars in all
parts Of the country, and the Govern
ment, which seems to be unable longer
to maintain the prejudice which it en-
deavored to create against silver coins,
is now adopting measures to send silver
to those who desire it free of expense.
This must be extremely humiliating to
the Administration, which opposed the
passage of the Silver bill, and sent it
back to Congress without the Presi-
dents signature, but it is result over
which Sherman and Hayes no longer
have any control. The price of silver
is steadily advancing in Europe, and
the supply in London is not sufficient
for the demand. The German Govern
ment, which demonetized silver coin,
also begins to see the folly of its course.
and, according to reports, is about to
remonetize the debased metal. The
wisdom OF Congress in passing the Sill
yer bill over the veto of the eight-tc-
seven President and the circumstances
Of the greatest living fnancier (?), Hon.
est John Sherman, who predicted that it
would result in financial ruin, is now
making itself apparent even to those
who opposed it, and everybody, except
the members of the Administration.

be restored to its former relation with

Petitions from mining camps in nearly
all parts of Nevada are being presented
to Congress against the passage of the
new mining bill. The most vigorous pro-
test yet made against the bill was from
citizens of White Pine county, in this
State. They argue that the enactment
OF the section which proposes to confne
ledge owners within vertical boundary
planes, will work irreparable injury to
every branch of mining industry in Ne
Sada, incite frauds and blackmail suits,
and paralyae the energies of all indus
trious citizens. They further repre-
sent that the requirements of the bill in
regard to the manner of locating mining
claims and acquiring title, will practi-
cally put an end to prospecting for min
erals in new fields, and destroy all
hopes of new discoveries, and eventu-
ally turn our new prosperous State into
what it was previous to the discovery
of the Comstock lode--a desofate waste
inhabited only by few hah-starved
Indians.
The protests against the passage of
the new bill from miners in various
parts of Nevada have been presented
by Congressman Daggett, who, if so
disposed, ought to be able to make a
telling speech against the proposed
change. The trouble is, however, that
the wealthy mine owners in Western
Nevada are in favor of the new bill,
and the Virginia Enterprise. which re-
fleets their views, came out in lead
ing article advocating the square loca-
ton system, when the bill was intro
duced in the House of Representatives.
Whether Mr.. Daggett is in sympathy
with the expressions of the Enterprise,
has not yet been made apparent.
The fact of his having pre-
sented petitions from miners in
this State against the bill, does
not commit him against the measure.
It is the bounden duty of the represent
atives of the people in Congress to pre-
sent petitions from their constituents,
but it does not follow that their senti-
ments are always in accord with the
opinions of the petitioners. A speech
. from Mr.. Dagget or the subject would
disclose his views, but that speech has
not yet been made. OF course he will
hesitate before committing himself
against any proposition which the Ter
ritorial Enterprise favors, yet if he
takes sides with the Enterprise he
arrays himself against the miners in
every camp in the State, outside the
Comstock Under these circumstances
he may deem discretion the better part
of valor, and say nothing publicly for
or against the new mining bill. This
policy will leave him in position to
placate the opponents of the bill in out
side mining districts, by informing
them that he presented their protests
against it's passage, while at the same
time he can truthfully say to the
"Lords of the Comstock" that he said
nothing against the measure.

Aleck Graham's Little Fox.

I've done my level best, and there's
no use trying any longer" and Aleck
Graham threw himself into chair and
his cap on the floor, with quite the air of
one who thinks himself martyr.
Brave sister Mollie, who had twice as
hard a time as Aleck, with the two little
ones to look after, gave a merry little
laugh as she looked at the disconsolate
figure in the chair, and went on making
her biscuits.
You needn't laugh" he said. cit
ism tany use; can't do it"
e won't laugh, said Mollie from the
pantry. But how about the foxes?
That l Can't is one of the ugliest,
meanest little foxes l know-a regular
cheat. He's spoiled heaps of vines, and
I'm afraid he'll do yours deal of mis-
chief if you don't look out for him. He's
around pretty often, think
Mollie said no more, and presently
Aleck got up, and taking down his cap,
walked to the window
Just beyond their bit of a garden was
Squire Aliens farm, and at the right
was his cornfeld If Aleck finished hoe
ing it by Saturday night he was to have
five dollars-a big sum to Aleck, and big
to Mollie, who since last spring had been
the only mother TO the three younger
ones, and hard time she had of it, max
ing their tiny income meet their many
wants.
Aleck stood looking at the corn wav-
ing in the sunlight, and thought of pa
tient Mollie and the foxes. 1t seemed
an age almost to Mollie, when Aleck
walked to the pantry-door and said in a
quick, decided tone, "That fox shan t
spoil my vines this time, and marched
off.
"Bravol" exclaimed Mollie; and that
was all she had time to say before he was
out of sight.
Saturday night Aleck brought home
the FIVE dollars and gave it to Mollie. A
tear glistened in her eye as she said,
The best of it is, Aleck, that you didn t
give up"
II wish could kill that fox, he said,
soberly. He Just torments me- It's
so easy to think cant, and then stop
work.
II think he is wounded already"
said Mollie, "and I am sure that, with
Gods help, you can conquer, if you don [
kill him. - Chald's Paper.

My Mother.
BY GEN. JOHN L. SWIFT.

[ never left my mother in my life but
that she said to me, 81 want to live long
enough to see you come to your Lord
and to your Saviour" 1t was the con-
clusion of every separation, it was the
burden of every letter she wrote to me
In her life. On one occasion I was in
vited to deliver an address in fremont
Temple. The hall was crowded and the
interest intense, and at certain point
the whole audience rose to their feet,
surging and swaying with cheers. AS I
stood there alone amid this wild outburst
of enthusiasm, looked into the left gal
lery and saw one pale, Unconditional face;
it was the face of my mother. She is a
little woman, and it seems as if l could
lift her in the palm of my hand, but she
had great love and faith, and when I
met her she said, II have given you
freely, my son, to the country, but oh, if
| could see you stand there and talk for
your Saviour, would ask nothing more
on this earth" And when | took my
stand 1 went home directly to that moth
err | don't know that can get on with
this part of the story, but you will un-
derstand the difficulty. The stars in the
skies scarcely outnumber the prayers
she had given to her Father on my be-
half, and 1 was going home, the last one
in her band Of children, resolved to tell
her that her Saviour was my Saviour,
and her God was my God. We were all
there, an unbroken and redeemed family.
She gathered me in her arms as tenderiy
as when I was helpless child. There is
a passage in Scripture, Except ye be
converted and become as little children
ye shall not enter into the kingdom of
heaven" I know what that means. I
know what it is to feel as a little child
if my hairs are gray with the footballs
Of time.

patches to wear, or great trials of any
kind, but it's just doing little disagreed
BILE things that l ought to do, and doing
them cheerfully for Christ's sake, that is
to be my cross. 1t is such little wee
cross to carry for him, but perhaps he
will be pleased if do every thing cheer
fully" Before she left her room she
prayed, Dear Lord Jesus, am only a
little girl, but l want to be one of thy
dear children; teach me what my cross
is, and then help me to carry it. I know
there isn't much for me to do, but please
accept of just what little I can do, for
Christ's sake. Amen. IS. s. Times.

doing good to somebody. Put on your
hat and 60 visit the sick and the poor !;

them. Seek out the desolate and op-

The Head at the Tail.

The following good story, from an
unknown exchange, Is going the rounds
Of the press Soon after Tom Ochil-
tree was admitted to the bar his father
one day, before starting for distant
court looked up at the old, weather
beaten sign, which had been above his
door for a quarter Of a century. and
told Tom he thought it about time to
have new one. "And Tom," he said,
"suppose you attend to it, get good
sign and have the name of the firm
painted upon it," The old gentle
man went to Dallas and was gone sew
eral days. Returning, when he came
in sight of the little frame office, he
thought 1t looked strange, and riding
nearer he found stretching clear across
the building an immense sign board, on
which was painted in huge letters:
