of the burned district, and. for the salts.
fsetleA OF persons who have contributed

report in which he says that the funds
and supplies have been wisely and eff.

satisfaction among the benefciaries, and
unbounded gratitude TO the donors. Mr..
Williams adds: "The fact that plant

than ever before, is the best evidence Of
the efficiency of the committees. There

A little watching and an abundance OF

was that, with such an area Of improv-

BILE. It is rare TO see SO much good
farming land in one bedy as exists in
this region. To sum ap my ohserva-

q vast number OF people requiring re

and this is the sensible way to look at
the question.
The nation born Americans in Lyon
county are ten TO one ofany other nation
atty, get, should Mr.. HaIlberg
be elected county commissioner,
the County Board will be composed
entirely of FoFeign-born citizens-a
Welshman, an Iriahman and g Sweed.
And should Mr.. Ernst be elected treasur-
eF, another foreign-born citizen will
have place among the county offices.
The Republican party has always dealt
fairly with foreign-born citizens. It be
gins TO look as If anative-born American
win shortly be compelled to take cut
naturalization papers before he can have
the presumption to run for Office.
Come let US reason together" This
is not question of nationality, but q
question Of party principles. The man
who sets his foot upon American soil
and then holds up his right hand and
swears before Almighty God that he
will support the constitution Of the
United States. and then and there re-
nounces his allegiance to all foreign gov
ernments, is no longer q German, a
Welshman or Irishman, but an Ameri-
can citiZen-free to run for Office and
take his chances equally with
the natIve-born citizen. But
when these forelgn-born citizens
band themselves together and claim of.
fee simply and solely because they are
foreign-bOrn, their action assumes the
phase OF puerility and hypocrisy, and is
extremely offensive to native-born Amer
leans and tends TO antagOnize their mu-
tual interests.

about "Our Welsh Republicans" II

A correspondent TO the London Times,
who has been investigating the Hughes
induction balance at the Electric EXIT
bItion. Paris, thinks that with proper
use it could have made no error in 1ocat-
ing the bullet in President GaEdeld's
body; and he relates the following Incl
dent as confrmatory of the Instruments
trustw orthiness: Mr.. Elisha Gray,
whose name is well-knOWn in America
in connection with the telephone and
the harmonic telegraph, was disbeliev-
er in the utility of the induction balance
Ms . surgical appliance. He said to
Professor Hughes: Thirty years ago,
when working at some metalwork, a
fling Of iron entered my finger; the
more / tried to extract it the deeper it
went in believe it Is still there; and
if your instrument is of any value, you
ought to be able to tell me in which
finger it is" The presence of bone or
flesh in the coil of the balance would
produce no effect; metal or other con-
ductor is necessary. Professor Hughes
tested Mr. Gray's fingers; none of them
gave any sound until he came TO the
foFefnger on the right hand, when the
balance of the coils was quite destroyed
and noise was given out. This was
the very finger in which the filing was
buried thirty years ago. y

Senator Malone Arrested.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Senator Ma
hone was arrested this evening about 8
O'Clock upon a warrant sworn out by
Col. s. Strong, of this district, charging
him with intent to violate the district
laws in his purpose to leave the city in
order to fight duel with Jubal A. Early,
of Virginia. The warrant was placed In
the hands of detective, Capt. Vernon,
who served it upon Malone. The sena-
tor seemed greatly surprised at the
course the officer had taken, but ex-
pressed his willingness to accom-
pany the officers. He was there
fore placed in hack and
with the officers was driven TO Judge
SHELLS residence where the party alIgbt-
ed. The judge was found in his private
Office. He was greatly surprised to see
q senator OF the United States under ar
rest. Col Strong then stated the rea-
sons that influenced him in serving out
q warrant. Senator Malone said he
had no thought of leaving the city, and
the idea that he would fight an old
man like Early was absurd. The Judge
then took Mahone's personal recogni-
Zance that he would not leave the. city
for the purpose charged in the warrant,
and the senator left shortly after for his
home
