That a remedy made of such common,

DAILY MAIL TO VICTORIA.

This subject has been frequently
agitated, and by no one more earn
estly than by the ARGUS. Knowing
it to be something which the advanc-
ing needs of the public require, we
have urged it in season and out of
season. The Victoria "Standard,"
in recent issue, gets in a few good
licks from which we quote as fol-
lows:
On several occasions we have re-
commended that steps be taken to
represent to the Dominion govern
ment the great advantage that would
be conferred on the province by the
establishment of a daily mail be-
tween Victoria and Port Townsend,
but hitherto we regret TO say our eff
forts have not been attended with
success. Parliament being now in
session at Ottawa we think the pres
en- fav orable time to revert to the
subject. All parties here are agreed
that daily communication with the
sound would be an immense advan-
tage to this city and the province
generally, and it could be secured
at a very small advance on the sum
at present paid for the service twice
a week The subsidy paid by the
government for the mail service to
San Francisco, is, under the new ar
rangements, so much less than was
rTerly paid shat the government
could well afford to spend a trifling
sum to secure better mail communi-
cation with the sound. We trust
that some of the more energetic of
our citizens will take this matter in
hand and see what can be done with
the Dominion government. The
present we arc persuaded is an OPP
perfume time, and the advantage to
be gained is worth the trouble Of a
little exertiOn to secure it.

is food in this agitation for serious
reflection; and more than this it
must be apparent to every candid
mind that there is a proper subject
here for national Legislation in the
shape of a constitutional amend
ment. A government like ours,
where the wisdom of the laws de
pends upon the intelligence Of the
masses, is one where any move that
will advance the general average of
that intelligence contributes to the
we'll being, power and perpetuity OF
the Nation.

A THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

The year now closing will be mem
orable in the history Of our Govern
ment. A crime which appalled, the
American people and shocked the civil
person of the Nations Chief Magistrate.
The profound grief occasioned by his
sufferings and death still exist among
all classes of our citizens. Yet it is a
source of pride and thankfulness that,
throughout the intense excitement at
tending the attack upon the late Presi-
dent, his long and heroic struggle for
life, his death, and the consequent
change of administration, law and order
have reigned supreme. This evidence
of governmental strength is a matter of
especial graduation. While the citi-
zens of Nevada have not been favored
with exceptional business prosperity,
marked improvement is manifest, and
the outlook for the coming year is
bright. AS people we have cause for
thankfulness.
Wherefore, in accordance with the
proclamation of the President of the
United States, I, John H. Kinkead,
Governor of the State of Nevada, do
hereby appoint and designate Thurs
day, the oath day of November, A. D.
1881, as day of Thanksgiving to the
Supreme Ruler for the manifest bless
ings we enjoy, and urge upon the peo-
pie of this commonwealth a hearty
union in its appropriate observance.
JOHN II. kINKEAD,
Governor of Nevada.

The Bodie Free Press Of Sunday says:
Some one took shot at Guiteau on Sat
urday and wounded him, unfortunately
not fatally. The noted assassin was
riding in the Black Maria, or van, at
the time of the shooting, and was being
conveyed from the courtroom to the
Jail. While in Court Guiteau, on the
same day, took pains to warn every
body not to shoot at him, as they would
be arrested. But this advice was OF no
value, as he was wounded and the would
be slayer made his escape in good style.
After reading the proceedings Of the trial
one is led to believe that Guiteau is
perfectly sane, and is merely "actins
his part" in order to save his worth
less neck. How far this comedy sue
ceeds remains to be seen. 1t is safe to
predict that there will be one man on
the jury who will not be in favor OF
hanging.

for he carried away all of $4,000 he
had made in this country, and did not
take the pains to hide the fact that, I'M
known to his church friends, he had
been running an opium and gambling
den under his laundry.
