THE WORLD WAITS.
An Absolute Necessity for n Conn
stock Ore Developments.


stock Ore Developments.
The Mexican assessment, says the San
Francisco Post, was another reminder that
the depths Of the Comstock cannot be ex-
plored without a further outlay OF coin ON
the part Of the stockholders. The market
steadily cringes before the assessments
although they are absolutely necessary II
the work is to go on. Were there some
relieving features in the mines to cause an
activity or advance in any particular STOCK
along the lead. the public would bear
these periodical Affections with better
grace. 1t is disheartening for holders to
zee the whole market slowly drifting in a
downward direction. Were it not patent
to every thinking person who 81 is interested
in the Comstock that a single strike OF
good ore at any new point on the lode
would instantly revive the market and
| start a "boom" along the line, there
| would probably be such a Letting &c" OF
| stocks as would drive their values nearly
out of sight. 1t is the hope, strong IN
every breast, that something OF TINS ma
ture will be encountered that keeps away
such a disaster. The whole world Is
eagerly waiting for another development
in the Comstock, and, we're it to be made,
the flow of money towards this coast
would be unprecedented. These develop
ments haEe hitherto been made when the
situation was the darkest. All the big
fortunes have been secured by people who
had the nerve and means to hold their
| stocks for general results. Although
worked to a great depth. the vein shows
no sign of giving out. At any moment it
may prove to be strongly mineralized at
certain points. In a few weeks vast blocks
| OF virgin ground will be ready for cross
cutting in the middle and Gold Hill
mines, and there are those who firmly be-
lieve that a better market will begin with
the resumption of this exciting work.

AMERICANS IN MEXICO.

American capital, American energy and
American enterprise are pushing them
selves farther and farther into our sister
Republic, says the Sacramento Bee, and
are driving out old ideas and old meth
dds before the steady, onward march OF
modern innovations. Our citizens are
penetrating the mining sections Of that
country and little by little sweeping away
ancient and clumsy tools. and replacing
them with the most modern machinery.
They are grasping for land and making
vast cattle plains. Palatial mansions are
arising where not long ago the adobe ha-
ciendas alone could be seen. The Ameri-
cans are taking away the commerce, the
business from the lazy Mxicans, and as
year follows year their hold and their
strength will grow greater and greater.
But it is in their projected railway
schemes principally that the vast concep-
tive brain and executive hands OF the
American people are to be seen. Already
they nave the promise of vast grants OF
land from the Mexican Government, and
ten years from now we may see that ma
ton one vast network Of railroads. One
railroad company in particular, the
Mexican National Construction Company,
has gigantic schemes on hand. IL pro-
poses to build a road to be known as the
Mexican Central which will be practicai-
ly an extension Of the Denver and Colo
RADIO road, although under a different
organization. Under the provisions OF
the grant, the Mexican National Con-
~struction Company is required to build,
first. an inter-oceanic line from the City
of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, passing
through Taluca, Maravatte, Acambora,
Marlea, Ramona and Lapiedad to Mama
Milo, or between that point and Nevl-
dad second, an international line from
the City OF Mexico to the southern from
tiers, commencing at the most favorable
point between Manvatio and Morello,
then through San Luis Potosi, Saltila and
Monterey to Laredo, on the Rio Grande,
or between that Point and Eagle Pass.
The company is required to complete 277
miles of road every two years. The IN
~teroceanic line must be completed within
five years, the international within eight
years from last September.
1t may not be long before Americans
will control all the trade, the travel and
the business of Mexico, leaving the in
dolent and worthless natives far behind
in the march Of progress. In fact, in the
nature of things it could scarcely be
otherwise. The weak must give way be-
fore the strong, the careless before the
energetic.

About 10 o'clock last night, says the vir
ginia Enterprise of the 10Th, a huge cloud
mass of inky blackness attracted genera,
attention. Crowds collected upon the
streets to look at 1t. It was about the
blacklist patch of vapor ever seen, and
there were many conjectures as to what il
might portend From a knowledge Of
the extent of the mountain ranges
over which the cloud stretched, an OBJ
server estimated it to be 800 miles long
and so miles wide. 1t was all of that.
a long time persons were pouring out
OF saloons and other places Of public re-
sort to see what was called " the devil in
the sky."

THE staying of the Car is the visible
harvest Of the seed sown by Michael
Bakunin, who may be called the father of
Nihilism, who said in the course Of a
speech made in 1868 at Geneva: "Our
first work must be the destruction and
humiliation Of everything as it now e
lists. You must accustom yourself to
destroy everything, the good with the
bad for if but an atom of this world
remains the new will never be created
In another speech the thorough-going
Bakunin said deeds of political as
sassination and incendiarism are not the
offspring of any sentiment of personal
hatred or vengeance. We know full well
that one Emperor killed will merely be
succeeded by another, who in his turn
will again nominate the chiefs of police.
Such deeds are justified by the necessity
of roofing out from mems minds the
habit Of respect for the powers that be.
The more attacks are made on the Car
and his officials increase the more will
the people get to understand the absurdi-
ty Of the v~eneration with which these
personages have been regarded for Gen.
turtles" Poor Byng was shot, voltaire
said, to encourage other British ad-
mirals." Russian Cars and Ministers
are slain to discourage other Cars and
Ministers.

A MURDERED MANS HISTORY.

SALEM, Ind, Oct. 26.-The particulars
were given on the 18th of the murder by
James Basil McLane of John Arnold, in
Lawrence County, near Bono, and the
pursuit and shooting to death of McLane
by John w. Smedly, r. p. Mather. and
Frank Perdew, at the residence of Isaiah
Dennis, at Hitchcock Station, Washing
ton County. The double tragedy was
one OF the bloodiest that has ever occur
red in this part of Indiana, celebrated for
It's crimes. McLane, the last victim.
fought desperately for his life. He was
an old man of nearly 20 years, armed on
ly with walking-cane. His pursuers
were young men, armed with revolvers.
McLane entered the house of Dennis
for drink of water, and was Immediate
ly surprised by his three pursuers. He
retreated to the yard followed by show
er OF bullets. With bis cane he advanced
upon his three prosecutors and scattered
them, but received two wounds in the
neck and Cne on the scalp. Then he re-
treated into the house, followed by John
w. Smedly, who kept firing at the old
man from his revolver McLane made
at Smedley with his cane, receiving ball
through the breast, which passed between
the heart and right lung; but with this
fatal wound he rushed upon Smedley,
knocking him down with his cane. Nc
Lane then seized an unloadei gun belong
ing to Dennis, which he had discovered
In corner of the room, and dragged it
ana himself to room in the second
story of the house, where death soon
came to end his eventful life.
In December, 1886, James B. McLane
enlisted IN Capt. Lockhart's company,
raised in this Washington county, and
went to Texas, then struggling for indie
pendence from nexico. He fought in
many battles and skirmishes. He was
one OF the Mier prisoners, and drew
beans tor his life when the Mexicans or
dered every tenth man of the prisoners
shot He was taken to the City of Mexi-
co, and for year, as a prisone-, swept
the streets of that city.
Returning to Texas he was not salts
lied, and sought after adventures. He
went to Yucatan and enlisted in the Gar
my OF liberation fought in a number of
battles and skirmishes, and at the end of
his term OF enlistment went to Cuba and
thence to Matamoras. When the Mexi-
can war broke out he enlisted in the
United States army and fought with Tay-
lor and afterwards with Scott, being at
the capture of the City of Mexico. 1t
the close of this war he returned to this
county, locating atSalem. Several years
ago he removed to the farm on which he
killed John Arnold for insulting his aged
wife. In 1861 McLane enlisted in Com
pany d. Thirty-eighth Indiana Infantry
and fought for three years. In 1864 he
reenlisted as veteran, and at Jonesville,
Tenn, was captured and sent to Ander-
sonville prison, where he remained till
the close of the war. He had fought
in 200 battles and hard skirmishes. He
was one among the bravest men in In
diana, peaceable, but when aroused q
man to be dreaded. He came of the
McLane stock in Madison County, Ken
lucky. The public sympathy is entirely
with the brave old soldier Cincinnati
Commercial.

The people of Milwaukee after ex
pending nearly 100000 upon one of the
finest Exposition Buildings in the
United States, and having just closed
their first show, are in danger of getting
into big lawsuit in regard to the
ground the building is located upon.
Mr.. Gilman, the former owner, brings
suit in the Circuit Court to enjoin the
collection of taxes levied on his prop
erty for assessments OF benefits by
reason of taking the property for the
enlargement of park, which was done
under regular proceedings for condem-
nation. He alleges that the property
is not used for park, but has been
leased to private corporation for term
of fifty years, and that a building has
heen erected upon, to enter which a fee
is charged. The court holds that this is
not public use, that it would not have
been condemned for such a purpose, and
that the proceedings generally are void.
1t is an important decision, and is now
on its way to the Supreme Court.

The platform adopted by the Republi-

ing:
"The constitution of the United States
is the supreme law, and not mere con-
tract between the states"
"The duties levied for the purpose of
revenue should so discriminate as to pro-
tect American labor"
''No further grant Of the public domain
should be made to any railroad or other
corporation"
Everywhere the protection accorded
to the citizens of American birth must be
secured to the citizen of American adop-
tion.'
'It is the duty congress to develop
and improve our water-courses and har-
bors, but we insist that further subsidies
to private persons or corporatins shall
cease"
''The financial system under which the
present high state of prosperity enjoyed
by the country has been reached must
not be disturbed"
'"The better regulations of the national
civil service
definite rules for determining the re.
suit of Presidential elections should be
adopted
"a specific law should be enacted de-
fning the constitutional term inability of
the President.
Railway corporations must always be
held subordinate to the public interest
and the proper legislative control of Con-
gress and the legislatures of the states. !"
