Judge Shelley is reported to have said in
speech before the Conservative Club of Staun-
ton. that the "history of parties in this coun-
try had shown, and their future would show,
that coalition parties, composed of discordant
elements, contained within themselves the
seeds of dissolution and destruction" AS an
illustration of the truth of this he might have
instanced the Conservative party of Virginia.
1t was and is composed of Old Line Wings,
Old Secession Democrats, Old Union Demo-
Gratis, Tariff Wings and Free Trade Demo
Gratis, with here and there a colored brother
thrown in. The difficulty with this party is
that it never had any principles. Its end and
aim were the offices, and when these were Sc
cured, no care or thought was given to the
people In this way the present debt compli
cations were created. The coalition which
Judge Shelley argued against, composed. it is
true, of heretofore conflicting elements,is united
upon defined State poll cy 10 relation to the
schools and the ballot, at least, and they are
united in determined purpose to rid the
State of the rule of the most intolerant polit-
ical faction that ever cursed people, For a
Conservative DemOcrat-the very name repre-
senting an unholy coalition-to assail any 9th
er party because of homogeneous elements
is really joke, and like the pot calling the
kettle black.

A EoE.gsN as.

Yesterday afternoon a fifteen-year-
old boy, named Charles Funkhouse
was brought TO the City Prison for using
angua in the presence of ladies, of a
most vile and vulgar nature. Sheriff
Swift took him into his private Office
and examined him in a very fatherly
manner, but tie boy exhibited his hard
training by interspersing his answers to
the Sheriff's questions with familiar
its of oaths that WAS perfectly a5toUnd-
ing. He told the Sheriff that he had
not been to school for the past five
years, and that during the greater part
of that time he had been earning his
living herding cattle and eep in Cali
fornia. A neightor Of the FunkhOuse
family told an APPEAL reporter that
the young s"aiawag would pull his
mothers hair and scratch her face
whenever she eSsayed 10 correct him.
He acknowledged to not having washed
his hands and face for several days; and
when the Sheriff asked him if he did
not wish to do SO then, he replied, mo,
/ be ID if do.' 1t is evident that
no one has looked after the boy for
many years, and if he is not soon placed
under some strict discipline he will be
source of great expense to the tax
payers.

Jnss the Mind t., Speculate IA.

! The worst market that can be i'm
agined is one that continually goes up.
Those sort of market break mere peo-
| pie than any other. 1t is the hating, un-
certain, chopping market that spurts
and falls in fits and starts and turns Il
back summer5auit, two OR three times a
| week that the keen specuiator loves. We
are beginning to have just such market
now. Within the past two wee ks there
has been hundred chances to make Il
fortune for those who had the nerve to
sell at the right time. ANY fool can get
in. 1t takes thoughtful, calculating
fellow to get out. The Enterprise is
right when it says that the booms break
everyb0dy. Let the public once get an
idea that Il toom is in progress and the
insiders are sure of every dollar they
have. Nothing will induce them to let
go and the stocks they don't hold are
very easy to manage. It is generally
believed that for the next sixty days
there viii be a market that will back
and fill every week and men who know
how TO speculate and are satisfied with
reasonable profits will reap fortunes.
Then boom will come and things will
go with a big rush. Those who get out
before the rush is over will never re-
greet it. Alter the decline begins there
will be no opportunity to sell. There
will be no buyers. The cards are being
put up for a big market this summer,
on merit if possible, but if ore cannot be
found ii will go up anyway. 1t is all
humbug to say that the time is passed
for stocks to go up is "chin." When
ever the insiders are ready to give tn
word the public will rush to the bro
kers' offices like pigs 10 swill trough.

wtao is she Power Behind the Throne that
CONTROLS 'CaszH:

The public has generally been led tt
believe that the messages going oven
the telegraph wires are as sacred as the
letters which pass through the United
State mail. There was q time when {;
| man could send a dispatch to his broker
| in San Francisco and its contents We're
| not known outside OF the telegraph
office. Dealers gradually began to learn
that the wires were leaking and elahor-
ate systems Of cypher5 were invented
to overcome the difficulty of transmit
ing private messages. Now there is
not a single stock dealer, mining expert
or politician Of any note on the coast
who will trust the wires Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company with an
open message.
"You can't send dispatches from
Virginia City 10 San Francisco" said (:
stock dealer, "Without men who have
no business to know anything about
your affairs getting your dispatch and
making the most of it. I have been
caught out once or twice in stock trans
actions when [ could not possibly have
been caught unless my cypher was
translated, and ! have tested the mat
ter thoroughly by sending dispatches
which [ expected to be read, and was
anxious to have read. It seems pity
that anybody should have secured con-
troll Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company SO as to be able to know every
mans business. change my cVphpr
every week. The most complex cyphcr
ever invented is liable to be solved
Since I began to change my cypher l
have had no trouble"
In politician fights the wise do not
trust the wires with open messages, and
those who have been SO foolish as to do
so on matters Of importance have paid
dearly for it. In a stretch Of several
miles of wire it is impossible
to tell where the leak is, whether in the
receiving or sending Office or in some of
the intermediate offices through which |
the wires pas, and make connections. |
The mere fact that the CIPHER system !
is getting to be SO extensively used |
shows that something is rotten and the |
listrust in which the telegraph is held |
is growing everywhere. Can any one |
throw light upon this subject? Who is
he power behind the throne?

DR.. Fox, the State Prison physician,
yesterday stated to an APPEAL reporter
that the convict Smith, who conducted
himself in a refractory manner last
week, is Insane, and was in that condi-
ton prior to his conviction. He was
sent from Battle Mountain four years
ago for a term Of ten years, for an
assault with intent to commit murder.
The Doctor observed that Smiths offense
was committed without the shadow of
an aggravation, which in itself was an
evidence of an unsound mind. DR.. Fox
feels assured that Smith is a filter SUBJ
ject for an insane asylum than a State
Prison.

The item which went the rounds of
the State papers regarding the killing
of a squaw, was generally regarded as
a hoax, because it was first published
on the first Of April. A few days ago
Capt. Bob, a very intelligent Indian,
called at the office of the Battle Noun
tain Messenger and gave q full account
Of the affair. He says that there We're
fourteen Indians present at the funeral
ana that they killed seven horses be-
longing to the deceased Indian and laid
them around the grave. This, he says,
is a custom of his tribe. He stated fur
Their that the squaw killed was the wife
Of the dead Indian, and that she was
too cid to work or do anything for her
self. The Indians in that neighbor-
hood looked upon her as an evil witch,
and said she had caused the death of
six or eight good Indians in the last few
years by poisoning them. He says that
when she wanted an Indian to die she
would bite them, from the effects of
which they would soon pass to the
happy hunting grounds, and all the
Indians were more or less afraid of her
Cap ain Bob would not say just how
she was killed, but thought "maybe
put 'em head on big stone and heap
mash 'um." The Indians who took
part in the killing are afraid the whites
intend calling them to account for what
they have done, and wish to say that
they did not think they We're doing
wrong when riding them
selves of one whom they looked upon
As witch, and an enemy to their
