A visitor from Virginia City remarked
the other day. while viewing our town.
that It is strange that . progressive peo.
pie such a. We have, should not think
Of sinking artesian wells. The same

always with the one result-the striking
Of hot water at q depth OF from so down

Same nature a. that at Steamboat Springs
and other sections OF Nevada. It pos

Important Movements In Denver.

Important Movements In Denver.
DENVER. February l6.-Deuver Is at
present undergoing the nrst labor agita-
ton Of its history. and, az the agitation
il general. the feeling manifest among
the laboring men and others is quite in.
tense. The lsboring classes have for
several months past been gradually form.
ing Unions. until tweuty.ons ~orsaniza-
tons Of the kind have been perfected.
They comprise printers. plumbers, car
penters. brick masons. stone masons,
painters. plastsrers, h~orse-shoers. sad.
oilers, cigar.maksrs molders, BARRIERS,
walters, cooks, blacksmiths, cabinet
makers, locomotive engineers and hre-
men. These Unions met in mass con-
vention Saturday and took steps TO or.
ganizs q Trades Assembly. which 1t Is
claimed will constitute the voting
strength Of 1900. and q commercial pat.
ronags Of Sl25. 600.
1t Ii believed. by the leaders Of the
movement that the consolidation Of the
working classes bids fair to play q strong
part in the politics OF Denver and the
entire State. The steps taken in con.
solida,iug the different trades, is caused
directly by the recent action Of two Of
the newspapers In reducing the price Of
composition. During December the
local Typographical Union advanced its
schedule OF prices from forty to forty
Ave cents per 1000 ems for night work.
and made . corresponding advance in
all the branches OF the trade. The sd.
vance was accepted at the time, though
with poor grace. by the proprietors.
Some two weeks ago the Errning Ifme
demanded q reduction on the part OF its
workmen to the old prices. This they
declined to make. and the Office was filled
with non. Union men. Early last week
the Rocky Moumiain Netcs duplicated the
Times demand, which wal at first re-
jocted, then accepted and again rejected.
the result beirg that the Necs was hlled
with printers not members Of the Union.
The meeting Saturday night was enthu-
s~isstic, though orderly, and was attend.
ed by fully 1900 people. It was I'D.
dressed BY several persons. including
Brick Pomeroy. Among other schemes
which the workingmen have on foot is
that Of starting an afternoon paper with
pomerov nj the helm.

The recent reply OF Leland Stanford
10 Boucicault is q source OF disaPpoint-
man, and modification to most people
His autographed response to the Request
70 Give something to the Irish relief
fund was : "For he suffering poor in
Ireland I have the sympathy OF q COM
mon humanity. but there 10 an ample
Seld nearer home for all that / have to
eivs." In one sense the reply Is ssnsi-
bio and straightforward enough, but
squarely considered In the light Oh
financial ability and personal oensvo-
lencs IL IL very illiberal and narrow
minded. 1t Is true that charity begins at
home, yet Il should not always end there.
especially in the case Of one possessed Of
the great wealth Of Stanford. 1t IL true
tina. hundreds Of unemployed men,
mostly Irish, have been paradins the
streets Of San Francisco in procession.
not only asking but demanding work or
bread, declaring that they were hungry.
making 1t appear that the famine in
Ireland had. ~eontasiously As ii were.
communicated to the poor Irish OF San
Francisco. and perhaps IL wa with the
view to concentrating his generous lib
erality and assistance upon these that
Stanford refused to send aid to those in
the old country. 1t il true that there
are Q large number OF very wealthy
Irishmen residing in San Francisco who
a. yet have done little or nothing toward
the relief Of their native land and starv'
ing o~ountrymsu. and perhaps Stsnford's
native modssty has induced him to hold
back and appropriately allow them to
take the lead in the noble charity. II Is
true. also. that st. Patriek's day is CON-
ing and Parnsll will soon DO in San
Francisco, and tho Irish leaders desire
to celebrate the one and banquet the
other. Perhaps Stanford wishes to wait
and sec II money will be thus unneces-
sarily iavishsd instead Of applied to the
relief Of Irish suffering.
Stanford never has been noted for his
generous charities. however. He Is not
recorded a. the Peabody Of San Fran
CISCO. but rather as n who has, by
shrswd enterprise. aided BY much good
luck. amassed a huge fortune and knows
how to keep 1t. Yet, who knows but
that he has dispensed immense sums
in secret charities; in quietly. and unos-
tsntatiously assisting the poor and suf-
fsrins2 Nobody him OF 1t.
Perhaps be secretly intends to give all

those who know him best credit 1t the
least. Yet no has ample power to do
this. and q few Of his surplus thousands

would not be missed from his heavy
sack. He says there Il IN ample field

even that does not signify that he will
give anything at all. Most people. in

and the servant came upon his dead
body, with three bullet holes in it,.
The murdercB had taken Greenwood S

no time to rifle the body. The au-

On the contrary, In cases OF Jung disease

The drowning of General Torbert

time during the war and treating our
citizens with great consideration
On Christmas morning, 1864, while
returning from move on Gordons-
Vile with large force of cavalry,
he passed through Warrenton and
visited a gentleman at whose house
he had made his headquarters earlier
in the war. Three of the Black
Horse Cavalry, finding out his
whereabouts, made a desperate
effort to capture him and came near
carrying out their design, General
Torbcrt having to leap on his horse
without his stirrups. pursued down
the main street by the three cavalry
men, who emptied their revolvers al
him. He often spoke of this as the
most trying event of his war
experience, and while Consul Gen.

of Warrenlonians who were making
the continental tour at a handsome
banquet. A few days ago he sent
his respects through n United States
naval officer. to Mr.. William NJ
Spillman, one of the three cavalry.
men who had him in such serious
jeopardy.
