A NEVADA WON EES,
Remarkable Exhibition OF HONESTY in u
Hawthorne GinE.bfer.

At Hawthorne, on Thursday last, the
Excursion train had no sooner halted
than half dozen gambling games were
in full blast. At one Of the games known
rs "B!ack and Red" a green-looking,
Ilight-haired young man was playing,
risking two bits at a time. He lost five
or six bets of a quarter each, and then
laid down five dollar gold piece ON the
red, and won. The dealer handed out
| two fives, (the game pays three for one,)
| when the player remarked:
"That's two much"
"Eh?'' said the dealer.
~ was only bettin' two bits at a clip,r
said the player, and pushing back the
two fives got four bits.
The dealer, who had probably never
had such an experience in his life, was
so astonished that he hardly knew what
to do, and the crowd, noting the phenom-
ena! honesty of the man, crowded about
to get look at him.
"Why in thunder didn't you freeze
to the coin?" asked one.
"Because Pm not d thief" NrAs
the cool reply. 81 was only bettin' two
bits, I tell you"
"'Sposen the dealer had won and
taken in the five?"
Ole would have to give me four dol
lars and six bits back"
"But 'sposen he wouldn't?"
"Then" said the green-looking man,
quietly pulling out a six-shooter, "'d

The crowd slowly dispersed, leaving
the odd fish to continue his two bit
game unmolested.

THE IRISH LAND BILL.

The struggle between Lords and
Commons over the Irish Land bill is
ended, the first named house having
passed the bill as it came from the Com
mons without further amendment. As
passed, the bill is a compromise, its
general principles being retained with
out change. while some concessions are
made to the Lords. The bill deals with
a subject full of difficulties, and its pro-
visions are SO complicated that it can
hardly be understood by any one in this
country and by comparatively few in
England-Mr. Gladstone, like the ia
nous Schleswig- Holstein man of Lord
Palmerston, being about the only man
who fully comprehends it. The land
lords claim that by it large part of
their property will be practically con-
iscated. The Land-Leaguers, on the
other hand, say that the bill gives them
much less than they had right to de-
mand. Taking both views into consld-
Grafton it is not difficult to believe that
it is pretty good bill. And the uni
versal confidence in Mr.. Gladstone s
ability and wisdom will strengthen this
belief. The practical operation of the
bill will be watched with great interest.
There is no question but that the peo-
pie of Ireland have been cruelty wrong
ed for centuries; but at the same time
obvious difficulties have always existed
which rendered the matter the most
difficult in the world to deal with. The
present attempt to do justice is tardy
but it is the only really practical and
thorough-going measure ever devised by
an English statesman. Mr.. Gladstone
deserves better of Ireland than thou
sand Parnells and if his plan meet
with the success which is anticipated
for it all true Irishmen will owe hin
undying gratitude.-F1ee Press.

for an American president to be fool
in order to make grave mistakes and to
fall under most unfortunate influences.
Being president is not as plain as the
multiplication table. Mr. Arthur himself
was "not fool when he was in the
New York custom-house, or when he
was trying to secure the reelection of
Conkling at Albany. We sincerely
hope that he would endeavor to ''catch
on" to Garfelds administration and he
will have high inspiration to do so.
We should not be surprised if he pre-
ferred Conkling in place of Blaine !;
what we fear is that starting out with
the best of intentions he will drift back
into a low-toned administration. Of
course he can't ruin the country, as the
Herald suggests, but he can block the
publication of administration which is
likely to 60 on if Garfield recovers.-

The English parliamentary deadlock,
contrary to the declarations of the party
leaders, has been happily ended with a
compromise. The Lords had been plac-
ed themselves in an untenable position
and accepted the first opportunity to
withdraw. In granting this, however,
it must be confessed that important con-
cessions have been made by the govern
ment which will materially affect the
operation of the Land bill, and may 60
far to render it totally imperative. By
striking out the provision for staying
proceedings for debt and by accepting
the clause giving the landlord the priv
ilege of carrying case from the Land
Court to the Court of Appeal, the way
is opened for endless litigation. The
clauses fixing fair rent and providing
for the recognition of improvements
made by the tenant, were also emascu'
lated. The political crisis is postponed
rather than ended. The government
has al1enated the Radicals and Home
Rulers, and the Lords, even by mo-
mentary show of opposition, have awak
ened an opposition that will not soor
abate.

essential to national independence and

Speculation is active as to what Pres
ident Arthur would do; such specula-

fully from the basis that Mr.. Arthur is
''not fool" This may be called the

GUITEAU AND HIS KEEPERS

Guiteau emerged from oblivion by
brief struggle with his guard last Wed
nesday morning. About 4.30 a. m. the
guard noticed that Guiteau was appar-
emily pairing his nails. Thinking that
he might have made some preparations
to hang himself, the guard went in and
asked what he had been doing. Guiteau
replied, Nothing. nothing" Noticing
the knife, he asked what he was doing
with it. and the prisoner replied, $50
help me God, have none" The guard
then said, "Drop it, )" in commanding
tone, when Guiteau jumped up and made
a cut, but fortunately the guard threw
his head back, and the knife cut the
lapel of his coat. Guiteau was as MINI
BILE as cat. The guard pulled his re-
volver out, but did not cock it, and
Guiteau then tusseled for its possession,
exclaiming, "Don't shoot me-" The
guard cooked the pistol, and Guiteau
said, ''Give me my pistol" and finally
got hold of it, but not till it went off.
The other guards by this time appeared,
and Guiteau was secured. They then
searched for the knife, and seeing some
thing under his feet picked it up. 1t
was what is technically known in Jail
parlance as "cheeser," made of the
steel shank of shoe, five or six inches
long, ground down to good edge, with
paper and Irvine wrapped around one
end as a handle.
McGill, the jailer, says: "For the
first few weeks of his Imprisonment
Guiteau expressed himself as sorry that
the president suffered, and wished that
he had put another ball into him so as
to have killed him instantly. Latterly,
he has expressed sorrow for his suffering
and wished he had not caused it. Since
Thursday last he seems to have gone
back to his original idea of hoping the
president would die, and on Sunday he
wrote and directed letter to President
Arthur" He eagerly questions each
one who passes his cell as to the presi.
dents condition, and appears to be
deeply insulted when no answer is made
to his queries. The cell in which he Is
confined is the same that "Babe" Bed
ford occupied before his execution. L
is about four feet wide, eight high ane
ten long, with small barred window
opening upon the west corridor, where
soldier is on duty continually in sigh
of his window. AS the report reaches
the Jail that the president was dying
the guard of soldiers was doubled fo
fear that some demonstration would b
made toward lynching the assassin, an
it will be kept on duty till the crisis
passed. The rest Of the prisoners a
the Jail despise Guiteau too much
have passed the knife to him, and it
probable that it had been concealed i
? the mattress by the last occupant. I'll
shoes were examined, and it was foun
that he had not removed the shank fro
either of them. They were taken ava,
and he will be compelled to 60 barefoo
ed or wear the brogans furnished by IL
government. Extra precautions will
taken hereafter to prevent repet1tit
= of this affair or an attempt at suicid
