Healthy Rooms.

In u recent address before the SAM
tary Congress Ut Graydon, DIR. Richard
son of London, gave Il few golden rules
for the preservation of health at home.
First he would put sunlight. Whether
your home be large or small, give it
plenty of light. Not only was the mind
saddencd in Il home not flushed with
light, but sunlight was of itself directly
useful to health The practice of plac-
ing sick people in close and darkly cur
tanned rooms was alike pernicious to
body and spirit; and, moreover, he had
found by experiment that certain organic
poisons analogous to the poisons which
propagate epidemic and contagious dis
eases were rendered innocuous by expos
ure to light. Ii it were good to make all
possible use OF sunlight, it was good
equally to make as lit,ic use as possible
OF artificial light. Artificial light, so
far. had been sources Of waste, not only
of the material out Of which they were
made, but OF the mir on which they
burned. In the air If the close room

Chinese Slavery in Nevada ,,

Two or three weeks ago n Chinese
WOMAN banned All Guy arrived here
from Carson and was married 10y Judge
Bonnciield to Chinaman here. The
couple, after the ceremony was per
formed took the east bound train and
went to Cortez District near Beowawc.
The woman was owned by n Carson
Chinaman, who kept her for the basost
purposes, but she, having been informed
that she could not be held in bondage
against her will, came here and got mar
ried Now her owner, who, appears,
has been advised that he could not get
her away from her husband by reason
of having purchased her, has trumped
up "A charge Of grand larceny against
her and procured warrant for her ar
rest. BY this means it is expected to
bring her back to Carson, whore the
larceny is alleged to have been com
mitted, and once there, the case will be
dismissed and she will be held in slavery.
Instances of this kind have occurred in
this county before, but as the officers
who arrested the Chinawoman We're
paid for their services by the Chnaman
who wanted to re-enslave them, the
public paid very little attention to the
matter. 1t is well known that nearly all
the Chinawomen in Nevada are slaves
and are bought and sold like cattle, but
the authorities do nothing to stop the
traffic.

work, and called for the name, are sex,

labor of the census, and its most valua-

Party Organization.

The Wheeling Register in speaking
of party organization, says, thorough
organization is essential to party
success as it is to an army, railroad
enterprise, or to government itself;
and parties are as essential to the
preservation of a liberal government
as the sunlight and air is to health
full animallife. The near approach
of another Presidential election has
naturally and rightfully set party
leaders to the work of looking after
the condition of their respective or.
CARNATIONS. In many Of the large
States, the Executive Committees of
the two principal partics-the Dem
ocraticand Republican-bave already
held meetings and inaugurated the
important work of getting their or
CARNATIONS in trim. "In time of
peace prepare for war;" so in time of
lull or rest in politics is the time to
prepare for active political warfare.
In our neighboring State, Ohio, the
Democratic Executive and Control
Committees held a meeting few
days ago, and made preparations for
the Inauguration of a quiet canvass
in the interesto of State Convention.
This latter, they wisely resolved not
to hold until after the National Dem
ocratic Convention shall have been
held and the Presidential ticket is
before them. In Ohio, as should be
the case everywhere, the people Of
the Congressional Districts, respect
lively, will select the delegates to the
National Convention.
The Democratic Executive Com
nittee of West Virginia which met
at Parkersburg last Thursday, pro-
vided that each Congressional Dis
trict of this State should select three
Delegates to the Democratic Nation.
al Convention, and these nine should
choose tie tenth delegate.

NJ IYoIi-s letter.

Hon. John II. Holt, who was elect
ed to the House Of Delegates in 1878
by the G seenbackersof Preston Coun-
ty. has lately addressed a letter to
Speaker Moifett, commenting him
for his manly utterances in the let
ter published by us some time ago.
Mr.. Holt says;
Ny DEAR S1R.-I have just read
your letter to.the Hon, John RICHTER,
asitappearedin the Register, in@hich
you SO fully and clearly set forth
your reasons for dissenting frcm a
third party movement in this
State in the coming contest, and as
your views SO entirely COMFORT with
my own feelings upon the same sub.
ject, think it is not improper to
make it know to you. :
In opposing the means by which
resumption was brought about and
the financial policy Of john Sherman
and his followers, the Greenback par
ty represented truth and right; and
/ think no one will question the just
ness of its demands. But in its de-
mands it simply asked for a change
in the administration Of a single
branch of the Government. They
never asked that the Constitution
might be sabjugated or disregarded,
but on tho Other hand that it might,
be made supreme and maintained in
all its purity. The great contest Of
next year will not be as to the poll
cy pursuedin single branch of the
Government, but as to whether the
Constitution of our Fathers, the very
life blood of our institutions is to
remain as the organic law of this
country. The Republican party has
taken the ground that it is not; that
it can be disregarded; that State
lines mean nothing, and that the
Government may, be invaded with
IMMUNITY. What, then, with such
an issue made up ON one side by
principles that are calculated TO
centralize the functions Of Govern
ment, SO. as to completely annihilate
every principle of free Government
and establish upon its ruins the most
dangerous class of imperialism. Can
they who have with such vehemence
denounced the aggressive policy ofthe
Republicans in one single branch Of
the Government now hesitate, when
they see the same common enemy
stretching forth its hands to crush
out the very Government ITSELF You
say that the Greenback party must
be in sympathy with the Democracy
in this great fight. What else would
it be? But while the Democratic
party must we'll maintain its time
honored principles, which have prov
ed its strength in the past, it must
also lift of its extreme Bourbon ele.
ment, bury its internal disaffections,
allowing "gone-bys to be gono,bys,"

Labor Troubles In the IxanawIia
Valley.

er the exciting news that there is
again,trouble incur Valley. Itseems
that some four or five weeks ago the
coal diggers, working in the mines
at Paint Greek, in Kanawha county,
struck for higher wages, and made
some other demands upon the pro
prietors, the precise nature of which
we do not understand. About the
same time the diggers in the Coal
Valley Works, in Fayette county,
near Cannelton, also struck and the
workmen employed in the Fire Greek
mines, upon New River, were also
induced to quit work. We are in
formed that the proprietors were dis
posed TO accede to the advance in
wages, but were not willing to accede
to all the other demands made, so the
men remained idle, dissatisfied, and
became more or less turbulent. In
the meantime the miners up at
Hawks Nest continued at steady
work, resisting all efforts Of the
strikers to induce them to throw
down the pick and theshovel. Com
mittees were sent by the strikers
from time to time to induce them to
join their ranks, but all without
avail. Friday afternoon about one
hundred and fifty miners at Camel
ton seized passenger train on the
G. q 0. r. R., and went up TO Hawks
Nest, and like number seized a train
at Fire Creek, and still others poured
in until some five hundred miners
had arrived at the mines, for the
avowed purpose of compelling the
miners at work there TO cease their
work. The Governor was telegraphed
to, and the result was the ordering
Of all the militia in the State to be
held in readiness to march at mo.
ments notice; the company at this
place being notified on Monday
morning, we're quartered at the Court
House, awaiting orders, until late
Monday evening, when a dispatch
was received stating that mo outbreak
had yet taken place, and ordering
the company dismissed. until further
orders. In all probability the snow
storm setting in prevented serious
trouble.
The people of this valley feel that
it is time stringent measures were
adopted 10 prevent riotous acts on
the part Of the miners and others
We do not question the right of men
to strike, but they have no right to
interfere with other men, who desire
to continue at work, or capture trains
on railroads, steamboats, on rivers,
or in any way destroy private or
public property. This kind of doings
only bring down on their heads the
.severest penalties of the law, and be-
sides they will lose the respect and
sympathy of all law-abiding citizens.
Something must be done to keep
down this mob spirit. There are
many good law-abiding miners, and
they should feel it u duty they owe
themselves, their community, and
their State, to keep down the bad
and desperate men in their associa.
tions.
Dispatches from the seat of trouble
tothe Enquirer, of Monday, announced
that matters are quiet, but it is feared
that.something decisive may occur
to test the question of protection to
men who may agree to work.
