Not a Candidate.

We have it from what seems TO be
good authority, that ex-senator Here.
fore is candidate for the seat Sena.
tor Davis now occupies in the upper
House Of Congress. The election, il
is true, will not take place for q lit
tie over a year yet, but politicians
believe in the proverb that it is "the
early bird that catches the worm.'
a near friend of Ex-Governor Math.
ews has quite recently informed us
that this gentleman will also be a
candidate for the place named, which
is doubtless correct. Hon. G. ].
Faulkner's name has also been named
in the same connection; and it is I'M
derstood that Congressman Hoge has
said that, with Senator Davis out Of
the way, he would be candidate.
The Register has it from unquestioned
authority that, this statement hav-
ing come to Senator Davis ears, he
promptly informed Judge Hoge that
he Davis is not a candidate for re.
election, and that the Judge is at lib
erty TO make his arrangements &C
cordingly. A friend of Mr.. Faulkner
also waited upon the Senator quite
recently, and he received a similar
reply.
Senator Davis stated to the writer
that his private business had assum-
ed such proportions as TO require u
great deal of attention, and that new
enterprises, with which he is promi-
nently connected, will soon become
more and more exacting upon him,
and that it might become difficult
for him to do full justice to those as
ISOLATED with him in these enter
prises, and at the same time do his
full duty to his State and country in
the Senate. He should, therefore,
decline TO be a candidate for re.elec-
ton.
AT the close of this term Mr.. Davis
will have served the people in this
capacity twelve years. These have
been twelve years of labor, of anxious
desire to do his duty faithfully and
well as he understood it; of earnest en-
deavor to elevate his State in the esti-
nation of his country, to induce capt.
talists to investigate its wonderful
wealth, and to enlist them in enter
prise for its development. All per.
sons who know Senator Davis will
concede his great activity of mind
and wonderful capacity for labor
Those who have critically watched
his course in the Senate will testify
to his careful and intelligent atten-
ton to his public duties and his
courteous efforts to serve his constit.
uents, without regard to their poll
tics or position. When he steps
from his official station on the 4Jh
day of March, 1882, he will receive
from his constituents the well,earned
plaudit, "Well done, thou good and
faithful servant"
Those who aspire to the seat now
occupied by Senator Davis may enter
the race with the assurance that the
track is clear, so fur as that gentle
man is concerned.

The License Law.

The granting of license to sell at
retail intoxicating liquors, has al
ways been one of vexation to the
county courts, especially where cor
porated towns are concerned. The
Court may be opposed to granting Ii
cense to saloons; but the applicant
goes befores the town council and is
granted certificate to obtain state
license, this he presents to The coun.
ty court and asks it to grant him a
license. If refused, he goes on and
sells, being clothed with au-
thority from the town, and to that
extent is protected, and wholly dis.
regards the State law. Such was
thecondition Of affairs in Point Plea.
SAINT and other Incorporated towns in
the county during the past year
The town authorities could not pros
gecutef for violations of the revenue
law, because they had given them a
permit, or license to sell, and had re-
ceived their revenue.
ITO avoid this seeming conflict of
authority between the county court
and incorporated towns, the Legisla.
ture at its session this winter, ought
to SO amend chap. At Of the code, as
to vest the exclusive right to grant
all licenses where cities and towns
are concerned, in incorporated towns,
taking care that the State is fully
protected in its revenue. 1t seems
e to usithat this would be the better
way to deal with this question, and
then if a town granted, or refused a
license, the matter would be settled,
without taking up the time Of the
county court at every term.

AN UNFAIR CRITICISM.
Mr.. Mackays Connection with tho
Orphans Asylum.

The Footlight, in abiding to the
statement made in some Eastern paper
that John Mackay built the Orphans
Asylum at Virginia City, denies the
statement and abuses Mr.. Mackay for
never having given il dollar toward any
institution in Nevada. It is quite true
that Mr.. Mackay did not build the
asylum, but he mas done more to keep
it going than any man in Nevada.
Several years ago the institution was
in debt and the sisters applied to Mr..
Mackay for relief. He said: "Let me
know at the end of each month what
you need to make upthe deficiency and
will send you the money" He has
settled all deficiencies ever since and
sometimes paid bills aggregating as
high as s., 500 month. He has kept
the asylum running for years out of his
own private purse and the accounts of
the institution will show it. 1t is un-
fair to accuse man Of stinginess be-
cause he makes as little p trade us pos-
sibe of his giving, and hardly the thing
to visit the sins of the bonanza firm
(Which are many upon the one gener-
Gus and whole souled member of it.

A Printers suicide.

Last night dispatch Was received in
this city to the effect that J. A. Better
idge, printer who formerly worked
in this city, Was drowned in San Fran
cisco. The dispatch Was from Il firm of
undertakes to L. Niles, who formerly
published the Times in this city. Ii
did not say whether the drowning Was
accidental or done with suicidal intent.
Betteridge was formerly foreman of the
APPEAL office and afterwards he WAS
employed in similar capacity on the
Times. While in this city he suffered
from a disease of the liver which be-
came chronic and at times he Was un-
able to work at his trade for weeks.
He had wealthy relatives in England
who never rendered him any assistance
and their neglect seemed seriously to
affect him. He also claimed to be
grand nephew of George Elliot, the
novelist. The following special dis
patch was received last nig ht.
Night before last Il mln jumped Off
the Oakland ferry boat abaft of the
wheel and was drowned. Every effort
was made to save him, but of no avail.
His body Was recovered this morning
and proved to be il printer who WIS for
merly employed in the Alta Office
named J. A. Betteridge. He Was an
Englishman, unmarried, about 40 years
of age and without any known rela-
tives i'm this city. ....
