acres. In 1880 the aggregate had grown

He says the coorcd people are buying
farms Of from twenty to fifty acres, and

DANGEROUS eAmsErrA.

Gambetta denounces the authors of
the charge that he is plotting to establish
q dictatorship, but what dictator has not
paved his way to power by similar de-
n~unciations? And even if Gambetta is
q sincere Republican, aiming at nothing
but the establishment Of popular govern
ment, it may yet be charged that he is a
dangerous leader. His latest speech was
seasoned with suggestions of war for the
recovery of the Provinces of Alsace and
Lorraine from Germany. He seldom
fails in the cours of a set speech to re-
mind his listeners of his ambition to lead
France in a war against the Germans.
He may thus increase his popularity, but
it is at the expense of tanning embers of
strife which should be permitted to die
out. Because Gambetta insists upon
presenting the conquest of Germany as
the proper ambition of France, if for no
other reason, he is a dangerous leader.
If such a war begins before the end of
this century, there is but little doubt
that the throne of a usurper will be
established upon the fragments of what
is now the French Republic.

The death Of General c. G. Batterman
is announced by telegraph from Tomb
stone, Arizona. General Batterman was
for many years a prominent citizen OF
Nevada, having gone to Arizona within
the present year. While a resident of
this State he had held various positions
of responsibility and public trust, always
coming out with clean hands. He was
Warden of the State Prison for the four
years preceding the election of his sue
cessor, in February last. He had also
been Brigadier General of the First Brig
ade Of the Nevada Militia. At various
times he had served as Superintendent
Of several prominent Comstock mines.
He aspired to the Republican nominal
tion for Governor in two State Conven-
tions of that party, each time failing to
achieve the measure of his ambition. He
leaves a wife and one child, the latter
being the wife Of Attorney r. H. Lindsey
of Reno. The manner of his taking off
is not mentioned in the brief telegram
announcing his death. The demise OF
General Batterman will be sincerely re-
GREETED throughout the State, and par
ticularly on the Comstock, where he was
the best known.

OFFICE

The New York Herald must have an
ex-office holder on its editorial staff, for
it is hardly possible for the following to
have been written by a mere theorist ::
OF all occupations o~fice-holding is the
most precarious and the least satisfac-
tory. To be at the mercy, at the whim
or caprice of a politician, himself the
creature of a superior, is to be in pur-
gatory. But few offices pay well. The
work as a rule is not hard, lazy habits are
engendered, treachery and assimilation
are apt to be developed, sturdy independ-
ence is undertoDed, and un-American
ideas are sown in faIlow soil. To profess
sional politicians the life of an office
holder has charms. To men at the top OF
the ladder come power and influence !; but
to the ordinary, dependent subordinate
there is a wearing listlessness which is
burdened often with disappointment and
is never free from uncertainty and appre-
hension. Unless a man gives an honest
days work he has no right to a fair days
pay, and the fact is that quite one-half
of the office holders of to-day do very
little labor, and that g~rudgingly.

1t had been commended all along by the
''half- breeds" that Senator Conkling was
q great political boss, and had bestowed
pretty much all of the Federal patronage
in New York on his personal and politi-
cal friends. The Hawkeye denies this
and adds that when Collector Robinson
entered upon his duties at the port of
New York, the other day, one Of his first
duties was to look up the horde of office
holders who had been put into place by
Mr.. Conkling. 1t was not much of a
horde. 1t consisted of a widow and her
son and a one-armed soldier from Utica.
