THE LIGHT OF FACTS.

When Sharon ran for Office six years ago
the best men of the State favored his election.
They liked his grit and perseverance, and sd-
mired him because he hung on to the Com
stock until bonanza had been found in it.
Many short sighted men gave him the credit
of risking large sums Of money that the people
might be benefited. Now in reality the peo-
pie paid out of their own pockets most Of the
money for Sharon's prospecting operations.
He took no great risks and with his power
over the market he could rake in hundred
thousand at turn whenever he wanted it.
The public carried the stock of the Comstock
and paid their assessments until bonanza was
discovered and then the insiders had the bulk
of it. A good many, however, were willing
to give Mr.. Sharon credit for enterprise and
pluck, and as a reward for his services made
him Senator. We are willing to give the Sen
ator all the credit due him for his past SER
vices to Nevada, but fail to see why he should
be rewarded for sticking by State from whose
soil he was extracting millions. Most men
would have done the same thing under the
circumstances Is Sharon at the present time
developing any bonanzas upon this Comstock
He has no further interest in Nevada to speak
Of. After being absent six years, not on duty
as Senator, but simply as business man of
San Francisco, he comes back and asks for
re- election. In the meantime he has quietly
Withdrawn all his Nevada interests. We Say
all, because while he is accounted to be worth
millions, he has no interest in Nevada except
some inferior interests in corporations which
pay no taxes, and which he holds in way
that at moments notice he could unload
them He claims residence simply because
of his holding commission as Senator,
though he has, during the whole term of his
office, done nothing to show that he held that
commission except to draw his pay and to
scandalize Nevada by his acts during the brief
periods that he has been in Washington. He
is business man. Is there any doubt how
he would answer one of his mining Superin-
tendepts, had one performed his duties as he
has performed his Senatorial duties, should
such an one ask for reappointment Is it
not plain that if it were known that Sharon
had no money there is not man who would
favor his re election2 Is it not shame that
the men of education, of public spirit, of
general information, and the men who have
homes here and love for the State are to be
denied chance to aspire to an honorable
office because a non resident appears with a
big sack Aud while this lamentable state
of affairs exists any man who raises pro-
test is denounced by the Sharon organs as
either wanting in fealty to the Republican
blackmail.

COMMONPLACE HANDSHAKING.-The Stock
ton Mail makes some sensible observations on
the Handwriting which the common people in
dulge in when they have the opportunity Of
joustling up against distinguished men: THE
citizen who grasps the hand of his country g
highest officer does not stop to think that
while the distinguished parsonage is in the
business he will grant the same privilege to
the meanest and dirtiest citizen in the whole
Republic, without regard to age, color, pres
ent character or previous condition, If a
moment were given to reflections of this kind
there would not be 30 great rush to torture
the right arm of the victim of transient pop.
ularity. Handwriting is good enough in its
way, but there is such thing as running it
into the ground, as We might say. 1t is like
significance and become disgusting when made
common" 1t would seem that a better way
of honoring the highest officer in the Nation
would be to exempt him from the unpleasant
ordeal of shaking hands with hundreds of
people whom he has never seen before and
will never see again. The gathering OF vast
crowds along his line of march, the hearty
cheers of an American populace, the decora-
tions of public buildings, and welcoming roar
Of salutes, are quite enough to satisfy the
pride of man occupying the highest posi-
ton that can be occupied in America The
people who have the highest regard for the
President, are those who will not annoy him
by rushing up with line of people to squeeze
his hand. A number of citizens made up a
purse to help pay for tho Presidential salute.

HARD LUCK OF BARONESS. baroness
Burdett Coutts, the famous philanthropist
who has spent 80 much time and money max
ing people happy, is now prevented by those
very people from enjoying little happiness
of her own. She is an English lady of some
sixty years of age, but notwithstanding the
fact that she is in the winter of life she fell
in love with her young Secretary, Ashwood
Bartlett. This attachment became 50 strong
that she determined to marry him, and was
perfectly willing to exchange her millions for
his affection. The day of the wedding was
fixed and the towns people, whom she had
almost kept from starving, gathered at the
church with stones and stale potatoes to mob
the lady when she appeared. These people
seemed to fear that in the event of her prop
erty being left to her husband it might not be
as freely distributed as before. The couple
were obliged to give up their contemplated mat
rimonial alliance through fear of the mob The
Baroness had set her heart on the match and
is now dangerously ill in consequence of the
interference of the people, who have no pos
sible concern in the matter. The Baroness
can we'll afford to hire regiments of infantry
to escort her to the church, and that seems to
be the only course left. Had Bartlett been
decayed rake of IS and the Baroness 10 the
society would have remarked, "What lovely

A GHosTLY MINE.-The II mes Reeiesc, not

comes to the front with pretty good ghost
story:
The mystery of the Silver Prize bell ringing

than ever Several gentlemen who appointed
themselves a committee to examine into the
matter, visited the mine last night, and in
form US that they are unable to account in
any way for the ringing of the signal bell,
which occurs precisely at IL o'clock. Twelve
strokes are sounded On the bell, after which
there is no sound or noise of any kind about
the hosting works This is repeated every
night at the same hour, as will be testified to
by our informants. The matter is beginning
to attract the attention of many gentlemen
who we're inclined to consider the FIRST item in
this paper as a Joke, and an effort will be
made to thoroughly investigate the mystery.

ers in a few days the result Of their investi- |
cation.

there can be no doubt that it caused

Here we have the whole genesis
and history of the anti third term
tradition. 1t arose out of no law or
constitutional provision, but simply
out Of the fact that two Of the earlier
Presidents of the Republic, after
having served for two terms, were
glad to retire from Office. It did
not originate in any fears entertained
by statesmen or by the people that
any danger lurked in third term;
for it is quite certain that both
WASHINGTON and JEFFERSON could

Preposterous and utterly impraoti-

it is still an undoubted fact that
WASHINGTON entered upon his first
term as President with the confident
belief that it was possible for the
Government to be administered in
such way IS to avoid the organiza-

hoped, by convincing the opposition
that the administration aimed at
nothing but the good of the country,
to disarm its hostility and unite all
parties in IFS support. This vain and
illusory hope was strengthened by
the fact that whom the Constitution

ABOUT JAPAN.

The following are lew extracts
from letter written by Mr.. G. Car.
rothers, formerly ofsLopez island, to
Mr.. Jos. A. Merrill, of San Juan Co.
The latter kindly sent it to us for
public notice some time ago, but its
appearance has been delayed on &C.
count of the manuscript having been
mislaid. 1t may interest some OF
our readers to know Of the peculiar
tiles of the Japs. The writer came
from Japan to San Juan Co., during
the summer OF '78, but returned
thither after brief stay in this Ter
rtory. Among other difficulties un'
der which he labors, we may men.
tion that he writes from place the
euphonious title Of which is: "Aki.
ia Shikan Gakko, Akita Ken, ia
pam" Hear him:
"When last I wrote to you ! was
in Toxic, the capital of Japan. At
that time | had doubts of the posi-.
bility OF getting employment in this
country, and thought | might be un-
der the necessity Of returning soon
to the United States. But at the
eleventh hour l found position. IL
is at large school located in the
northern part of the main japanese
Island. No foreigner has ever lived
there, and but few have ever visited
the place as it is not an open port.
1t is seaport, and is visited by ma.
tive steamers and sail vessels. 1t is
distant by land about 450 miles
north of Toxic. This distance
passed over in eleven days. During
the journey I had rare opportunity
cf observing the scenery of the in
terror, the productions of the coun-
try and the habits and customs of
the people. Seventy miles trav-
eled in stage coach. Most of the
remainder of the distance was
passed in the "jinrikisha," or man
power cart. This vehicle is peculiar
to Japan, and came into use here
only about eight years ego. 1t is
nothing more than an enlarged two
wheeled baby carriage. 1t has a
comfortable cushioned seat, for one
or two persons, and is drawn by one
man in the shafts. II two men are
needed one can push OF go before
the other by means of rope. These
vehicles are now all over Japan, and
are the almost exclusive means OF
land travel where the roads will per-
nit. There are relay stations at ev'
cry town, and, by changing men,
person can travel fifty or more miles
Der day over good roads. You will
be surprised to learn how cheap the
fare is for travelling this way-only
THREE CENTS PER MILE, and the cool
les board themselves. When ma
tives travel they do not pay moIe
than two cents per mile. No charge
is made for the time occupied in the
return of the coolie and carriage. .
Away from the open ports we
must of course lodge at japanese
hotels. and eat japanese food, unless
he be fool enough to carry food with
him. A japanese hotel is generally
a large two story building (some-
times three stories, sometimes only
one). The kitchen is always in the
front OF the house, and the guests
pass through it 10 the rooms assigned
O. them. The best rooms are gencr.
ally a, the back of the house. Ine
rooms are usually twelve feet square
aud are separated hy paper sliding
scr ens. When desirable a whole
story can be thrown into one ruom
by the removal ol the screens. The
