THE NEW RAILROAD.

Will It Benefit Nevada, OF WILL IL
Enter Into an Unholy Alliance?
Times-Review: The purchase Of the
Battle Mountain Railroad by Jay Gould,
and filing Of articles Of incorporation for
a railroad from Salt Lake to California, to
run south of and parallel with the Central
Pacific, indicates a new era in railroad OPP
Grafton in Nevada. Gould has not failed
to notice that the Central Pacific in its
main direction is north Of a great mineral
belt, and south Of another one, which has
its center in Northern Elko county. Should
his line run as contemplated, through Eu-
reka and Austin, his right to the southern
extension both Of the Palisade and Battle
Mountain roads would be secured-his
through line to San Francisco would COM
mand the carrying trade to all those
southern mining districts, and he could
well afford TO run nominally, il at all,
those two roads to the Central Pacific.
The trade Of the Central Pacific to all
south Of Jay Gould's line would be gone
irretrievably. We shall look to see Gould's
hand south Of Eureka with no very gentle
pressure. The new road by way Of Battle

Mountain for a less rate than by the Gen.
trail Paciic-then with the projected north
ern extension our region of country can be
relieved Of the Central Pacifc's exactions.
What can be done should not always be
considered done. We are by no means
certain that a compromise would not be at
once entered into, by which every one on
the G P. and north Of it, would be the ex-
elusive property of that road, and Gould
would be content to rule and rob all on,
and south of his line, until the vicinity Of
of the next south line Of an east and west
road was struck. Those railroad magnates
have determined to farm out the whole
Jay Gould, ever il he owned, as
he does, the Battle Mountain road, may
from both his eastern and western
to Palisade and Battle Mountain
the same rates which the Central Pacific
may fix for its tariff. Those railroad COM
panies would rather rob the public than
each other, and it is not a far-fetched pre-
that the two latitudinal lines have
already formed such an unholy al
lance.

This question is often asked nowadays,
says the Bodie Free Press, and the answers
to the same are as various as the feelings
of a man could suggest. A person will
hold on to his shares with a grip that is
remarkable, and will not get discouraged
for a long time. Stock booms come when
least expected; when the people are most
demoralized and willing to sacrifice their
shares for a n then the manipulators
get in their work and cause alively market
to spring up. 1t has been thus in the past
and there is nothing to hinder them from
doing the same thing now and again. A
poor market is as much the result Of poor
faith as no developments. But 1t is unsafe
to make predictions. The evil that men
do lives after them, and when a long-suf-
fering public is induced to buy stocks when
1t is time to keep out, the author Is never
forgiven. butts kept in sweet remembrance

E. As the hot season approaches, says the
New York Economist, the mining industry
il losing none of its attractiveness. Bos-

are frequented with mine owners and in

expected, and the interest grows in impor-
lance as railways are extended and mines
opened. In Nevada and the older portions

progressing with gratifying success. Mon

Accur@cY.

Every boy and girl should determine
to be accurate. In studying lessons be
sure to get the exact meaning; in talk.
ing, state the truth of the thing; in
working do everything just right. I
have lately heard oy two boys who
worked in the same store. They were
named John and James. Their duties
were alike, and they were required to
be at the store at half-past 7 in the
morning. John was always there on
the minute, or few minutes before the
time; James came the same number of
minutes after. When John arranged
the goods in the window they were ac-
curately marked and priced; James for
got to put the number on or priced them
incorrectly.
These are only two Of the things
which marked the distinction between
the two boys. But every day and week
they grew further apart, John doing the
work accurately, and therefore wen !:
James slightingall he conveniently could.
John was promoted for carefulness in
his duties. James was warned to alter
his manner and finally discharged. The
accurate boy grew to be a wealthy, self
made man. Men liked to deal with him
they were sure Of heirg treated fairly.
James tried several positions, but lost
them on account of his inaccuracy in
little details, and, though he gets through
the world somehow, he has not the hap
piness and success which with the same
opportunities John achieved.
There are many things that tend to
make noble character. Place accuracy
high in the hst.-,School Journal.

PRESIDENT GARFIELD.
WASHINGTON, Aug. II

nASd1NSION, aug LIE
There has been little, if any, Improvement in
the Presidents condition since yesterday morn
ing, The fact is, his stomach has completely
given out. 1t rejects even ime-water, and
nourishment has to be administered by injec-
ton. The pulse continues to beat with alarm
ing rapidity. There is gloom at the capital
The Cabinet officers dread the worst, and the
physicians have not felt justified in saying any
thing which might lead to hope.
A gentleman who has seen the President
within day or two says he was SO shocked at
his altered appearance that he could scarcely
conceal his sense Of painful surprise. His e1na-
ciated features, his fallen eyes, the skin drawn
tightly across his face, told a tale of suffering
and weakness that the information dribbled
out in daily bulletins had not conveyed to our
anxious nation.
Ex-senator Conkling stated to an Associated
Press reporter yesterday that he thought the
country was passing through the most danger
GUS crisis in its history, and that the Presidents
death would be one of the most dangerous
things which could happen it. He said he
did not intend to leave New York should the
President grow worse, unless to offer his
services to the bereaved family of the Presi-
dent.
Guiteau, the assassin, is reported to be feeling
very nervous. The movements of the jail Off
Gals and the doubling of the military guards
seem to have led him to think that crisis in
the Presidents condition is approaching,
and he has become somewhat excited
in consequence. He evidently has a
great dread of the wrath of the people, and
his attempts to appear unconcerned and to
make it appear that he considers that in shoot
ing the President he was doing commemorate
act are easily seen through. He wants to be
considered insane on certain subjects but will
hardly succeed.

Bourbon FuStian.

The Virginia Bourbons have held
their convention and nominated their
man, and made platform, and taken
high ground, so far as words go, con-
corning State-debt paying. In view OF
their position as debt-payers, their gilt
tering announcement is comical. Here
is the resolution, under which Artemus
Ward would have written, "This is sar-
kastik:"
That the maintenance of the public credit OF
Virginia is the essential means to the promo
ton of her prosperity that we condemn re-
pudlatlon III every shape and form as q blot
upon her honor, blow at her permanent
welfare, and an obstacle to her progress in
wealth, influence and power; that We will
make every effort to secure settlement
of the public debt, with the consent OF
her creditors which Is consistent with her
honor and dictated by justice and sound public
policy; that it is eminently desirable and proper
that the several classes of the debt now existing
should be unified, 80 that equality, which IL
equity, may control in the annual payment of
the interest and the ultimate redemption Of the
principal; that with the view of securing such
equality we pledge our party to use all lawful
authority to secure q settlement of the State
debt; that we will use all the lawful and con-
stitutional means In our power to secure set
tlement on the basis of per cent bond,
and that the Conservative Democratic party
pledges itself as part of its policy not to IN
crease the present rate of taxation
This solemn and Understanding fus-
tan from a party which has never paid
the interest on the debt, which has
evaded it by every conceivable kind of
shuttle, and which does not intend to
pay it, and whose only idea of debt is
always to owe it, is almost too ridicu-
lous for comment. The payment Of
debt in a manner consistent with the
honor of Virginia Bourbon smacks SO
much of the manner in which they have
honorably fulfilled their political and
other obligations that their creditors.
whose idea of an honorable settlements
100 cents on the dollar, will be apt to
look with dismay upon this new propo-
sition, more especially as these debt
evaders announce that they intend to
accomplish it without increasing taxa
ton, which means clearly enough that
they propose to pay it without its cost
ing anything, or, in other words, not at
all, as the only means of accomplishing
that remarkable feat would be, like Mi
cawber, to issue new notes and pay them
with others when they came due. This
only involves the cost of ink and paper
and will not increase taxation =-Ch6c0gO
