NEWSPAPERS DETECTIVES.

The detective generally speaking is
a fraud. He looks owlish, speaks sem
tentiously, and his whole manner seems
to say, paraphrasing Dickens DR.. Blinl-
Der, els there any person, in any direc-
ton, who can suggest any subject con-
nected with my business with which !
am not perfectly familiar?' And with
swollen chest and fierce facial express
sion he answers his own question Mega
lively. OF late newspaper reporters
have taken to the detective business,
and since one of them worked up sue
cessfully murder case in one of the
Eastern cities, couple of years ago,
we have been forced to suffer much
from these reportorial nuisances. Fol-
lowing closely the recent attempt to
wreck passenger train in the Sierra
Nevada mountains there came in
Vulnerable theories concerning the af-
fair. One reporter on a San Francisco
paper traced the job to the leader of
notorious gang in that city. Another
back alley detective solved every mys
terry connected with the wrecking at
tempt, and the public were assured that
no serious harm to passengers or train
was intended. While the newspaper
idiots were thus theorizing and making
every effort to humbug their readers,
a couple of real detectives went sensi-
bly, and understandingly to work and
arrested four of the car-stopping scoun-
drels. One of the wreckers, Shinn,
managed to get out Of Placer county,
and is still at large. OF his supposed
movements we are advised as far as
possible by the scribbling detectives
He was headed for the Lake the other
day, and among the early items of
fashionable intelligence on the Com
stock we may expect to hear of Shinn's
arrival. OF course Shinn is too much
of gentleman to disappoint Sheriff
Hanks, who has description of his ex-
pected visitor. The route of Shinn
being probably somewhat irregular, and
the mail facilities not being first-class
slong his present line of travel, it might
be we'll to establish sort of private
pony express in order that Shinn may
be fully advised of what is going on
among his interested friends.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

Viewed either from an ornamental or
a useful standpoint, the State Univer-
sity at Elko is not an object of warm
admiration by Nevadans generally. 1t
is, in fact, as an English friend would
phrase it, bit of humbug, you know.
Like most institutions of it's kind,
whether great or small, the Elko insti-
tuition is somewhat of a hatchery of
little jobs. Speaking of the appoint
ment of Hon. T. n. Stone as Superin-
tendent of the University, the Reno
Journal says:
Stone is one of the Regents, and must
have voted for himself for Principal.
He has long desired the position, and in
order to secure it thought best to resign
as Regent, conditioned upon particu-
lar friend being appointed in his place,
but Governor Kinkead refused to ac-
cept his resignation upon such terms,
desiring to exercise his own Judgment
in the appointment of successor.
Stone concluded not to resign, and with
the aid of Regent Mayhugh, also of
Elko, has secured the coveted position
of Principal, which the same carries
with it the handsome sum of $3.50 per
month for teaching twenty or thirty
children. s..s
The Secretary of the Treasury in his
published statement for the montl. of
August shows that during that period
the public debt has been reduced $14,-
1921 80, the best months work for
years. For the past two months the re-
duction has aggregated over twenty
four millions. The revenue for the past
month has also been the largest for a
long time, amounting to about forty
millions of dollars. Meanwhile, the
Postmaster General is doing effective
work in his special department. During
August he Topped off Star routes to the
tune of s9S, 397, making the total of
s1,49O,779 since the 4th of last March.
The farmers of Paradise Valley,
Humboldt county, in this State, held a
meeting the other day and agreed to
hold their wheat at one and three
fourths cents per pound, or 81 IS per
GENITAL, 600 pounds). Comparing notes
they found that at low estimate there |
were 100000 pounds of wheat har-
vested, and it was the unanimous |
opinion that this seasons wheat crop of
IS, 900 bushels could be doubled in an |
ordinary season If prices would justify it.

State Controller Hallock and Attorney
General Murphy, who left here several
days ago for the Eastern part of
the State, were at last accounts in
Eureka. Mr.. Hallock for sometime
past has been working industriously
and intelligently on railroad statistics,
and he and General Murphy are armed
to the teeth, SO to speak, with facts and
figures. These faithful State officials
are on what the Eureka Leader calls
ga sort Of missionary tour" to induce
the Assessors and Boards of Equaliza-
ton in the railroad counties to place
and keep the assessment on the broad
gauge roads at $4,000 per mile.
Washoe county has assessed the roads
at this figure per mile, while Lander
has put it at $4,000 per mile. 1t is
perhaps unnecessary to state that in our
own Ormsby the railroad is assessed for
$l1, 500, or $4,000 per mile less than
any of the other counties from which
we have heard. General Murphy and
Controller Hallock, who are doing
good work for the State and its people,
are now laboring with the Eureka
officials on this assessment proposition.
Any young man who is over feet
inches in height, and weighs over 100

Gle Sam will pay such gentlemen $13
per month to allow themselves to wear
a blue blouse and be chased around the
country by Apaches. In accordance
with the good old practice, all recruits
are to be sent at once to Arizona, where
.uninstructed and badly armed and
will be expected to try
with some of the beet fight
ing and best armed and mounted horse
men on the continent.

THE sspIFIous SOCIALISTS.

An attempt is being made, on the
strength OF disclaimer from some Social
ist organization at Detroit, to make it ap-
pear that the members of that faction in
this country are not generally friendly to
assassination. As it happens, however,
reports received yesterday from New York
and San Francisco show that the senti-
ments of Justus Schwab are cordially in
dorsed by the majority of the party, and
that they are citing the murder of the
Gar as an indication not only of what
they would like to do in Europe, but of
what they would like to do in the United
States At New York Socialist meeting
cordially applauded the assassination of
the Car. In San Francisco, on Thursday
night, two Socialist meetings were held.
At one of them a speaker named Roney
is reported as having said that he did not
think the death of the Gar ought to be
called a murder 80 If men stood in the
way OF the people, they must step out,
g either by their own volition, or by some
other way. The necessities of the work
'singmsn of this country will compel
- them TO have recourse to the same
means of achieving their ends as
q that which actuated the workingmen in
g foreign countries. If any killing is
g TO be done it viii be done at the proper
+" time" The meeting then adopted reso-
buttons declaring that in the death of the
Gar the first blow has been struck for
"the abolition of wages and slavery all
60 over the earth, and intimating that
this impending conflict is g the same
''in all countries, and can result only in
the death Of one of the two adversaries y
At the other meeting one enthusiastic
speaker observed, as appropriate to the
occasion, HIf l were an Irishman in
England, I would volunteer to cut the
E" threats Of the men who passed the
Z" coercion bill. Before God would be
one Of those who would cut their Threats
from ear TO ear" OF course this meet
ing also adoptedresolutions apprOvingof the
assassination of theCzar. These are illustra-
tive incidents. They fully bear out our
remarks on Socialist tendencies the other
day. The plain and self-evident truth is
that these Socialists are malignant ruffians,
who aim at the subversion of all govern
ment, and who have no idea above throat
cutting or cowardly assassinations. They
are not Americans in sympathy, training,
or anything else, and while their purposes
=are either silly or infamous, their ex-
5ressions are Indecent, brutal and dis-
trusting.

THE MEMPHIS DECISION.

The decision OF the Supreme Court of
the United States in the Memphis case has
been cited quite frequently of late, as hav-
ing direct bearing upon the relations of
Sacramento to its creditors. It has even
been asserted that the Court in this de-
cision has taken grounds which render it
impossible for the bondholders of this
municipality to proceed for the recovery of
their claims, and it has been intimated
that it is therefore unnecessary fer the city
to keep faith with its creditors. We have
no hesitation in asserting that those who
have made these statements either have
not read the Memphis decision, or have
signalIy failed to understand it. The truth
is that it has no application whatever to
the situation of Sacramento; that it does
not in any way change the relation be-
tween this city and its creditors but that
it affirrns in emphatic and unmistakable
terms the continuance of ali the rights
which creditors, in the position of our
bondholders, possess.
The facts of the Memphis case are,
briefly, as follows: The Legislature OF
Tennessee annulled the charter Of that

The stage Robbery-Fears of Disaster.

TOMBSTONE, March 1Sth.-Up to 10 o'clock
to night not word has been heard from the
party pursuing the gang of desperadces who
attacked the Benson stage on Tuesday night
They started from Contention at 4 O'Clock on
Wednesday morning, taking the trail which
led toward the Arizona mountains. Grave
fears are expressed that they have fallen into
the hands of the desperadees. The party
consisted of r. H. Paul, Wells, Fargo &
Co. e detective, who is also Sheriff elect OF
Pima county; Marshall Williams, Wells,
Fargo's Tombstone agent; Deputy U. S.
Marshal V. w. carp and his two
brothers Sheriff John III. Behan, Of
Cochise county, and q man residing
at Contention. All are brave and
determined men, and nothing short of an
ambush or greatly superior numbers could
have defeated them in fight with the des-
peradoes. The cowboys have many friends
east of the Dragons, and before reaching
the New Mexico line could muster so OF 90
desperate men. If no word is received here
from the pursHers before morning large ex-
petition viii be organized to go at once TO
their aid, OF to avenge them il they have met
with an ill-fate. In any event the whole af-
fair viii probably end in massacres, which
viii effeetually abate the cowboy nuisance,
as these ruffians are stealing all the stock in
the valleys, riding into and capturing small
towns, and generally exercising q highway
terrorism which has been permitted too long.
Only last night fourteen head of fine horses
were run off from the vicinity of the station
where the attack on the coach occurred.
