A WRONG CoNsUAniATED.-The United
States Senate on Monday confirmed DIR. Phil
ip s. Wales as Surgeon General of the Navy.
This appointment, by law and by long estab-
lished custom, should have been given to DR..
Lewis j. Williams, the senior Medical Direc-
tor of the Navy. In appointing DIR. Wales,
the President has utterly ignored the rights
not only of DR.. Williams, butsof fifteen other
officers also, all'of whom are higher in rank
than DR.. Wales, and it may fairly be assumed
of equal experience and capacity with him.
A strong protest was made against the con-
firmation of Dr.. Wales, but as he happened
to be the family physician of Mr.. Thompson,
the Secretary of the Navy, the entire influence
of that department was brought to bear in
his behalf. The Secretary himself performed
the unusual act of appearing before the Naval
Committee to urge the confirmation of his fa.
vorite. In the end the influence of the Sec.
rotary of the Navy was too strong TO be re,
sisted, and the wrong perpetrated by Presi
dent Hayes received the sanction of the Sen
ate. The arbitrary action of the President
and the Secretary of the Navy, in this case, is
not only grievous wrong to most worthy
mertorious and capable officer, but is calcu
lated to weaken the efficiency of an honorable
branch of the public service In time of wal
it might be excused, on the ground of desire
to promote the public interests. But now, il
piping times of peace, to thus overslaugh
long list of faithful officers to provide for thu
favorite of the head of department, it is in
excusable. No charges were brought agains
DIR. Williams, but his qualifications for TIN
place were conceded

TIE AMERICAN AGRICULTURAL. AssoCIA.
TIoN.-This association was organized last
December in New York, with Hon. John
Mcrryman, of Baltimore county, President
and n board of directors one of whom is A
Nj. Fulford, Esq, of Bel Air The purposes
of the association are the protection and adj.
yancemcnt of agriculture in the United States
by practical methods, including the collection
and dissemination of the best agricultural
thought and experience meetings for discus
sion, the encouragement of immigration, pe-
riodical exhibitions Of the products of the
soil, and the general advancement of agricul-
ture. Especial attention will be given chem
ical, botanical, veterinary, chronological and
other branches of science, and appropriate
committees on each will be appointed. The
association, fortunately has fallen into good
hands at the outset, but to make it successful
it must have the cooperation of farmers all
over the country The annual membership
has been placed at the small sum of 81, which
entities the member TO all the privileges of
the annual exhibition as well as to COPY of
the semi-annual journal. For the latter some
of the best writers of the country have been
engaged, and the journal alone will be worth
10 the thoughtful and intelligent farmer more
than the price of membership
Farmers complain that as class their
rights and interests are overlooked or slight
ed by the Lawmakers of the land. This is
true, TO great extent; but an association of
the kind just organized, having representa-
tivcs in every State, would serve to protect
and promote the interests of agriculture,
which is the foundation of our national pros
pcrity.
Mr.. A. NJ. Fulford of Bel Air, will receive
and forward applications for membership.

CORPORATION VENGEANCE.

Contrary to the usual custom of this office,
the following editorial from the Siluer State,
published at Winnemucca, is reproduced be-
cause it so aptly defines the situation:
The MORNING APPEAL, published at Carson
City by the widow of the late Harry Mighels,
is a Republican paper of the straightest and
strictest type. 1t advocates Republican prln-
ciples, not the interests of railroads and corpo-
rations, and in this respect differs from the
majority of its contemporaries in Nevada. 1t
believes in holding the party TO the pledges
given in its platform, and has unce islngly be-
rated the members of the last Legislature for
their treachery on railroad and other questions
of vital interest to the people which came up
during the session. 1t Is emphatic and per-
sistsnt in its demands for reduction OF rates
on the Virginia & Truekee Railroad, and has,
therefore, incurred the displeasure of the rail-
road magnates who have resolved to cripple
if they cannot kill it. With this object in view,
we learn from reliable source that the V. 4
T. r. R. Company are making arrangements
to publish morning paper in Carson, IN OPP
position to the APPEAL As the new paper will
not be run for the purpose of enabling those
engaged in it's publication to make livelihood
nut to cripple the APPEAL, all that money and
the influence of the company can do to make
| it interesting will be done. We are informed
that the new paper, for the purpose of dlsarm-
ing suspicion, will at first be small sheet, to
| be increased in size and interest as the cleo
| ton approaches. =.
The people of Nevada, without distinct on
Of party, should rally to the support OF the AP-
PEAL to at least the extent of years sub
scription, and thus show their appreciation OF
| its efforts in their behalf against an overbear-
| ing corporation. 1t should not be said with
truth that paper which fights their battles
against a monopoly should be driven to the
wall for lack of support. We hope every
Republican, and Democrat too, for that mat
ter, in Humboldt county and elsewhere
throughout the State, who can afford it, ano
is not the tool of corporations, will at once
subscribe for the Carson APPEALS as those wht
do not agree with it politically can not bu
admire its independence.

STEAM VS.. THE MULE.

The Nevada mule is threatened with for
midable rival in the shape of steam ROAD
wagon. Several of these wagons have already
been shipped from England, and will be hrst
used at Wordsworth. The wagon Is capaeie OF
going over almost any kind of ground anu
can drag a string of freight wagons oehlho IL
with ease. The wheels are quite broad ana
furnished with vulcan,zed rubber rims. Inc
affair makes about four miles an hour on oao
ground and seven miles on level plains IL
does not consume much fuel and the driver OF
such contrivance has only to saw up the fence
rails along the route, and burn them as he
travels. 1t is also capable of ascending steep
grades and it's admirers claim that 1t can make
the trip from this city to Lake Bigler On TINS
nroposition Hank Monk has serious doubts.
It ia not at all probable that Congressman
D,gcett will allow the interests of his pet an
imal, the mule, to be jeopardized by the IN
troduction of this blasted British invention.
The same sheltering Congressional wing when
D.ooett spreads over his constituents In Ne
vada. will be extended with equal prompt
tude to protect the worthy and well meaning
animal which Daggett has publicly pronounced
the King of Beasts" The mule drivers OF
Eastern Nevada are already preparing me-
mortal to Congress demanding legislation on
the subject, and Dsggett is framing bill call
inc for an ad raJorum tax of 900 per cent on
steam wagons. and making ita felony to run
ona over , ouarter of mile an hour. The bill
WAS read to a mule in Humboldt County a few
davs AGO and the animal responded wltha bray
Of DELIGHT which resounded like the clarion
notes of bugle for miles around. 1t is prob
ahls that when the first machine arrives at
Wadsworth, match will be made between IL
and some sturdy mule of that section tor Sooo
or $1,000 side. 1t is believed that an ordl-
nary Humboldt mule can kick an English
steam wagon to piecesin ten minutes IN show
inc the supremacy of mind over matter. In
few days Daggett's big speech on the sterling
characteristics of the mule, will fill the Con-
prsssional corridors with that breezy style OF
oratory which has given him so lasting place
in the hearts of his admiring, loving and en-
thusiastic countrymen. Meanwhile the AP-
PEAL will second the interests of the mule with
all the power that devotion to the cause OF
iustics and hearty admiration for the AMI
NAL, can bestow.

A DAWN OF PROSPERITY FOR NEVADA
There is a general hope that the control OF
the Bonanza mines having been completely
vested IN John Mackay, there will be change
for the better all around, and the sche ming,
deceptive smart Aleck policy adopted by Flood
will give place to the more liberal manage
meut of a broad minded man. The Post OF
Tuesday says
Great hopes are entertained among holders,
from John Mackay, who lately bought out
Floods interest, and who must now have
nearly 10000 shares, down to the humblest
possessor Of five share certificate, that Union
Consolidated will soon come to the front with
handsome dividends. The proof of the pud-
ding is the eating" and as the managers assert
that hereafter the bullion viii be sent down at q
LIVELY rate, the proposition will rest sqnarely
on ITS merits. Large dividends would do a
world of good to the market. The Constock
sadly needs such stimulant. The relns OF
government are now wholly in j ohm Mackay 8
bands Mackay is more popular In San Fran
cisco than other members of his hrm. Tie
processes to have great faith in tho present
prospects of the lode, and if the developments
are there now, has every chance to increase
his popularity and his already plethoric bank
account.

KANSAS ORAToRY.-Senator Ingalls, of Kan
sas, getting back to his own native heather
the other day, gave his constituents taste of
border oratory as follows: 'Arrayed against
me from the outset were the outcasts OF pol
itics, reinforced by Missouri editors, one
drunken political tramp from Kansas, and
another long haired hermaphrodite, who has
as little idea of decent journalism as the
scarlet women of Babylon had of the immac-
ulate conception. 1t has been said that re-
turned on a mission Of vsngence The only
smotions which animate me are those which
inspire an affectionate mother, who finding a
louise in the tresses of her offspring, cracks 1t

THE BOOZE ExrBNsIoN.-Speakins OF the
adv,ce given BY the press to D. o. Mills re-
garding the construction of the new road to
Bodie, the Enterprise, acting as the speaking
trumpet of the moRopolists, says This vol
unteer advice, given in the tone OF threa',
has already postponed the commencement Of
the road for year; kept the southern portion
of the State practically closed book, and
kept a great many men out OF employment.
1t is liable to again postpone the commence
ment of the road; it can do nothing more.
The building of the road will require four
months; with it completed there will be work
for 8 900 men for years at 81 per day where
not 100 men are now employed or ever can be
employed without the road. 1t seems as
though poor men ought to begin to under
stand before long in what direction their best
interests lie, and who their real friends are
The best interests of the psor do not lie III
the direction of cheap labor, and their best
friends are not the men who would give en-
ployment to serfs when white Americans are
starving 1t is all bosh for the managers OF
the scheme to talk about being deferred by
threats. They simply want to build the road as
clsaply as possible, make all the money they
en- and send it to New York for invest nent
Their policy is not to develope the country,
they simply wish to drain 1t. If they can
make money eff the road or can see enough
ahead to make a dead sure thing for profit,
the road will DE built. Perhaps if the State
gave them a good round sum in bonds (about
enough say to build the road without cost to
the builders) the work would begin at once
The article in the Enterprise reads as if writ
ten by a man who had SO much of that kind
of writing to do every month, but did not be-
levs werd he wrote. The projectors of the
scheme are in curious position. They dare
not put Chinese on the road, and with their
millions of capital they are too stingy to en-
plsy white labor.

The NORMAL AL RIGHr.-Dispatches from
s ,cramento announce that the House Com
mittee ON Public Buildings had reported, rec
ommending the passage of Bakers bill making
an appropriation of $4,000 for the re-srec.
ton of the Normal School building in San
Jose. Its passage by the Assembly may be
looked upon almost as a feed fact. As soon
as the Governor attaches his signature, work
will be commenced, and by or before Novem'
Der next, the north wing of the building will
be ready for occupancy. The favorable pros
pect for the bill is most encouraging to the
citizens of San Jose.

Col JACKSON, the gentleman whom the
New York Graphic gives full page picture Of
in recent issue and describes as man who
moulds public opinion on the Pacific Coast,
has ordered reduction of Ii per cents per
thousand on composition in the Office of the
Daily Post. The printers decline to accept
such wages. In San Francisco the price for
some time has been 30 cents, and 80 cents is
something outrageously low. No man can
expect to mould public opinion on 80 cents
per thousand for composition.

RENo's STRONG MAN FLooKED.-Some very
astonishing stories have been teld of late re-
garding Caldera the strong man of Reno. He
was announced as the strongest in the world.
NIGHT before last he wrestled with man
named Hurd, at Reno, for hundred a side.
There was 50 much confidence in the Italian s
strength that his friends bet $40 to so cents
GA him. The strong man was foored by his
antagonis. twice and lost the match. This
shows how science carries the day against
mere brute strength. 1t is probable that an
other match, Roman style, will be wrestled
between the same men at an early day.

The difficulty between the Pacific Railroads
and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company is
now b, ing compromised. No matter how these
rows between corporations begin, they always
end in compromise. No matter how bitter
the feud they had rather lie down together as
friends than see the public get any benefits
