looking ore We ever saw for Groupings.
The location Is on Humboldt Hill. and
tho ledge can be traced to within Q short

used to stand and has no doubt been run
over by thousands OF p%rospectors. The
ledge IL about twelve feet wide. Ave feet

A Reno Lady's Stomach.

A Reno lady recently was troubled
with indigestion, and some n told her
to take lime for q remedy-a tablespoon
full OF lime dissolved IN water. % . dose.
Tho lady got some unslacked lime and
took q tablespoonful Of II in water. The
powerful caustic at ono caused her ter
ribls pain and she felt as II burning up.
Some one present had the soolnsss to
recollsct that lime has . strong affinity
for bricks. and finding some handy. he
promptly administered q few. The
philosophy Of this treatment became
Immediately apparent. The lime ceased
to eat at the mucous membranes and
attacked the bricks. Bricks were freely
administered in liberal doses until the
lime became entirely neutralizsd. The
lady's mouth and throat were badly
burned by the lime, but otherwise she
received no serious injury.

EVEN the New Religion thinks an expla-
nation is called for, and says: CDR. Garce-
Ion has finished his testimony before the
Hale committee, but he is not yet done
with his friends, nor with his party, nor
with the public. He owes to his friends,
who gave him their confidence and who
trusted implicitly in his honesty, an expla-
nation of the discrepancies that exist be-
tween his private assurances with his pub
lie utterances few months ago and the
statement he is reported to have given as ev-
idence to the committee. Especially does he
owe to his friends of the press, who gave
their columns to his justification and de-
fence, an apology for the negligence and ig-
norance confessed before the Hale commit
tee. He owes to the party that twice favored
him with nomination a better account of
his official acts than the theory that
there was a ''Judas'' in his household. He
owes to the public the restoration at once of
whatever property he may have belonging to
the State. DR.. Garcelon is an old man and
we hope for his own good name and peace
that he may have the sufficient answer for
all that is charged against him."

was thereupon admitted without question

SENATOR Don CAMERON is reported as
saying that, after reading and rejecting up

conclusion that the transfer of at least half

have found employment, and there is great

can do without interfering in the least with

CAPT. EADs, who built the st. Louis
bridge and the jetties at the mouth of the
Mississippi, does not favor the Darien canal
project of De Lesseps. M. de Lesseps favors
canal. Captain Eads advocates a ship
railway. NJ. de Lesseps estimates the cost
of his canal, at, say 10000, 600. Captain
Eads asserts, and is not contradicted, that
his railway would cost, say a quarter
as much as the canal and prove of equal
utility. Now Captain Eads admits that as
to the canal, its construction is only mat
ter of time and money, but that it cannot be
foretold in advance how much it will cost,
because of uncertain elements which he
points out, and which seem to the non-pro-
fessional mind to be present in the very ma
ture of the case. On the other hand, he says
that the cost of a railway can be estimated
with approximate exactness. Then comes
the question of the serviceability of the rail-
way. AS to this, it is matter of fact that
upon smaller scale such railways are in
actual use. If, as is the case, ship of
twenty-five hundred tons can be safely
transported on land, is there anything in the
way of transporting ships of five or eight
thousand tons?

The Theft Of Seats.

The United States Senate is now made up
OF forty-rwo Democrats, thirty-three Repub-
licans, and one Independent. In all proba-
bility the next Senate will find the Demo-
Gratis in minority, for it is almost certain
that Republican successors will be elected
to Eaton of Connecticut, Randolph of New
Jersey, Herman of New York, and Wallace
of Pennsylvania. Thurman's successor is a
Republican, and the chances are good that
the seat of Macdonald will be filled by
Republican. The new Virginia Senator,
Malone, cannot be relied upon to act with
the Democrats. The only Republican loss
will be Bruce of Mississippi.
These are the reasons why Kellogg must
go, and the only reasons that have any
weight with the Democratic majority. In
order to retain that imperilled majority
Democrat must be put in his seat. The Re-
publicans will elect the President and carry
the House. The Senate is the only refuge
for the Democrats. If they lose that they
lose everything. That is why they propose
to defy law and precedent and disregard
plighted faith. Kellogg, to say the least for
him, was as fairly elected as Butler of
South Carolina. The two cases we're taken
up together, the men were seated as the re-
suit of a compromise and the settlement was
regarded and acknowledged to be final. A
proposition was afterwards made to unseat
Butler, but the Senate in which the Repub-
licans then had majority, declined to en-
tertain it. Upon the first party necessity
which arises the Democrats deliberately vio-
late this faith and break the compromise into
which they so readily entered.
In the same line of wrong is the attempt
to seize Republican seats in the House. In
order to secure the majority of State delega-
tions in the House in the improbable con-
tingency of the Presidential election being
thrown into that body the Democrats pro-
pose to unseat Orth of Indiana and Wash
burne of Minnesota. Both those gentlemen
were fairly elected, and the case made
against them is too flimsy for serious con-
sideration. But the Democrats need the
seats, or think they need them, and will per-
mit.neither law nor justice to stand in the
way of their desire. In the country at large
they are as unscrupulous as in Maine. The
outrage in this State is of piece with
Democratic doings elsewhere. I
