Cold Wave Reported as Approach

The weather OF the past week has con-
founded the memory even of that mythical
individual, "the oldest inhabitant." Com
paratively forsetful folks to say nothing of
those who possess obliging memories, can
readily recall short November snaps, when
the Frosty Monarch reigned for single
night, and ice-hound rain casks We're the
sole iegacieS he bequeathed the careful
housewife. But no one can recall Il period
of four successive days, beginning with the
DIST day of November, in the latitude of
Elllton, swept as it is by the saline breaths
of the Chesapeake, when the thermometer
ranged from thirteen to seventeen degrees
above zero between sunset and sunrise
The predictions of polar wave, on its east
ward course, made last week, have been
more than realized by the intense cold
weather that has followed. On Saturday
night last Il fresh Northwestern, following an
eaSterly rain storm, gave us the first real
touch of the chilly presence of Winter. 1t
was the fifth successive Saturdays storm,
and every one seemed to expect it. But the
Sabbath morning tlawned grey and blustery.

The hour of morning service seemed far
ahead OF time and habitual worshipers fol-
lowed with rapid steps and blue noses to
church. The average prayer was in keep

is one thing in the world more than another
that even pious people cant do, unless they
are physically comfortable, it is to pray with
the spirit. 1t is morally impossible to get Il

to get something warm, the happy owners

and not caring how many houseless and

at all, either cold or warm. On Sunday
night the mercury descended to seventeen

The New York Commercial says Han

both factions were united. Hancock did

who surrounded him. The credit of

TELE6RAPHIC ITEMS.

A grain warehouse at Washington
Corners, Alameda county, California,
containing $4,000 sacks of wheat and
barley, burned yesterday morning; loss
probably S25, 600. It is believed that
the fire was the work of an incendiary,
as certain characters were foundmarked
on the building a, few days ago which
have been found ON previous occasions
on warehouses subsequently fired. 1t
is supposed to. be the work. of tramps.
There is, however, some reason to be-
lieve that sparks from threshing ma
chine in the vicinity may have caused
the confagration.
The first of a.series of joint debates
between Lander, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of Indiana, and Porter,
his Republican, opponent, took place at
South Bend. About $500 persons were
present. DIR. L. j. Ham, Mayor of
South Bend, introduced Mr.. Landers,
who, in an hours speech, proceeded to
the arraignment of the Republican
party, State and National. When he
had concluded, Hon. Lucius Hubbard
presented Mr.. Porter in brief speech,
and he, in a. speech of an hour and a
half discussed the issues between the
Republican and Democratic parties in
Indiana and the United States. Accord
ing to the arrangement Mr.. Landers
closed the argument in a half-hour's
speech. Both speakers were frequently
interrupted by applause. which. was
about as equally divided as the crowd
seemed to'be..

PARTISAN MEANEESS.

The New York Tribune, founded by
Horace Greeley, on the 10th of Feb
ruary, 1873, when the Poland Commit
tee had published it's findings in the
Credit Mobilier bribery cases, said
"James A. Garfield, OF Ohio, had ten
SHARES; mover paid a dollar received
&32s, which, after the investigation be-
gan, he was anxious to have considered
AS loan from Mr.. Cakes Ames toshim-
Lslf.
Well, the wickedness of all of. it ia
that these men betrayed the trust of
the people, deceived their constituents,
and by eyasions and falsehoods confess
I'd the transaction to be disgraceful."
The Tribune then, as now, was edited
ny, Whiteiaw' Reid. No new evidence
las since been made public to show
that the findings of the Poland Com
nittee. which was composed of five
Republicans ands four Democrats, was
not. strictly in accordance with. the
facts,. yet the Tribune advocates the
election of one OIL" these men who be-
tt%yed the trust Of the people, deceived.
feearaconstItuehss, and byeyasions. and
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-09-04

falsehoods confessed the transaction to
be disgraceful.
But it does not content itself with
advocating Garfeld's election in repu-
table manner, but descends to the lowest
levels of partisan meanness to impeach
the loyalty of General Hancock, whose
record as Union soldier will compare
favorably with even that of General
Grant.
A month ago, when it became known
to the public that there had been csr-
respondence between General Sherman
and General Hancock during the cleo
toral troubles in LSz6, the Tribune, be-
lieying that the correspondence would
implicate Hancock in a plot, which it
charged had been concocted, to seat
Tildsn, whether the Electoral Commits
sion declared him elected or not, clam
ored loudly and persistently for the pro-
duction of the letters. It intimated
that Hancock's letters would prove him
to bs,disloyal, and not only unfit to be
President of the United States, but un-
safe to be intrusted with the command
of military department. 1t proclaim
ed its anxiety to publish the correspond
ence, and not only requested, but de-
handed it's publication. General Han
cock at once authorized General Sher-
man to publish his letters, relating to
the electoral troubles, and they were
given to the papers. Instead of being
reasonable they We're found to be emf
nently patriotic and statesmanlike.
This was,not what the Tribune liked or
expected, and instead of treating its
readers TO heepatriotic sentiments OF a
brave soldier on an absorbing topic, it
refused. to print them. 1t is too in
tensely partisan to- publish what a
soldier said to- a soldier ON ma
tional affairs, at one of the most
critical periods in the history of the
country. 1t gave currency to charge
of disloyalty against General Hancock,
challenged disproof of the charge, and
when that was produced'refused to pub
lish it. What would.the readers CT the
SILVER STATE think of it, if it should
insinuate, for instance, that Judge
Beatty, the. Republican nominee for
Supreme Judge, is a. corrupt man, and
challenge him or his friends to disprove
it, and. when positive refutal of the
falsehood was produced refuse to pub
lish ,it2 Would4not every unprejudiced
man in the country denounce it as con-
temptible, yet it would not have shown
more partisan meanness, than the great
New York. Tribune has in the case OF
General Hancock.

At Yerter's Hall, Wednesday and
Thursday Oct. n and q, the origi-
nal Dan and Josie Morris-Sulii-
vans tour through Ireland. The
following complimentary notice of
the combination is from the Fargo
Argus:
at is to the credit of the excellent
Sullivan troupe that It's unique and
attractive entertainment has drawn
to MclIench Hall, the two largest
audiences ever gathered in that pop
ular and comfortable house. Tile
great interest that has been shown
by the amusement-seeking people OF
Fargo backed By the solicitations OF
many citizens, has induced Mr.. Sui
Ivan to extend his visit slightly,
and the chaste and delightful ex-
hibition viii be repeated tonight
and Tuesday night. OF the magpi-
fcent panorama of Irish scenes it is
perhaps unnecessary again to speak.
The spectator sees i'll it as wildly
almost as if he stood upon the
ground, all the varied points of his
toric interest on beautiful Erin's isle,
and in Mr.. Stevens the lecturer finds
a guide who has travelled over every
foot of it, and kissed the Barney
stone more than once, As one may
know from the "spache ov him.
Miss Sullivan, in her Irish sketches
songs and dances, has established
herself royalty in the good graees O
the enthusiastic audiences thai
nightly greet her, while the Dutch
and irish representations of Mr.
Sullivan, are the most side splitting
sketches of the kind ever seen If
the Red River metropolis. Every
thing connected with the entertain
ment is pure and calculated fol
family entertainment. 1t is quit,
certain that the remaining perfor
mances will be more literally pat
ronized.n

news to the republicans. Their
faces frightened, which showed that
their hearts beat anew. They re-
joiced. They felt that lndiana's
victory was their victory. Ohio's
gain was their gain. They felt all
this. They wish to make an ex-
preston Of it, A jubilee must be
had. A demonstration of their
thankfullness for this glorious event
just passed. You may call it what
you may, it was to be in token of
the victory. The exulting question
was "IIave you heard from lndiana2"
No sooner asked than answered;
,,Hurrah! for Indiana and Garheldr'
The merchants gave literally ofbar-
rcls, and a purse was soon raised
