A California Vendetta.

FRESNO, Csla., Nov. 1S-Las, night a messenger came from the mountains and reported the killing of Henry Lsfevre by J.S. c. .Musick
 son of J. L. Music. The report is that Musick and son stopped at the log camp of Takers yesterday at noon in White Deer valley, and were invited to stop and take dinner While at dinner, Henry, son of Al Lefevre, rode up, and upon seeing him the Musicks get up from the ta- ble and seized their weapons and ran out of the back door. In few SOC. onds shot was heard and when MT. Haker wont cut he found young Lefevre lying on the ground. In the meantime tho Musicks de. parted. For q long time trouble existed between the Muslcks and Lefevre. Last year old man Musick was shot, as he claimed, in the back by young Lefevre, but on the trial the elder Lefeyre swore that he did tho shooting and that he did it in self defense. The quarrel grew out of the possession of . piece of land. It is reported that the elder Lefevre is also killed or missing, his horse having been found riderless in the mountains. Of this no authentic in formation has been obtained.

THE Prescott Miner-a misnonel so far as name is concerned, and nev. CT fair but always partisan--says; "In the four largest towns ia Ari. xona, xiz: Prescott, Tucson, Tomb. stone and Phenlx, the vote at the late election went in favor of the repub- licans, but the country, which is set. tied up mostly by people from Mis- souri, Arkansas and other southern states, overbalanced the large towns and carried the democratic ticket al. most triumphantly." This is slur and sheer at those who hail from His. souri and Arkansas, but they must console themselves as the Irishman did who was kicked by a jackass,- consider the source from which it came. The truth of the matter Is, the territory is democratic. There is no use denying that. It is a self-ev. ident fact,and if no fraud IS practiced, which we fear will be in Mohave and Apache, both Oury and Horton will be elected.

A FEW weeks ago Judge Charles
 J. Folger, republican candidate for governor of New York, addressed a
 letter to tho republicans of Albany, in which he stated that the democrat
 ic triumph in Ohio had depreciatsd
 values to the extent of $40,000,0U0. Since Judge Folger wrote that in famous letter elections have been held in 8 states of the Union, and in 27 of them there have been dem- ocratic triumphs. It is evident that the people of these United States are determined to ruin their prospects of future prosperity. For at Folger's rate of computation, if change of 10000 votes in Ohio depreciated values $4o,oOO,0OO, it follows that the change of 5OO,O00 votes has de. preciated values $5OO,OO0,OOO more.

Nor the least astonishing feature of the late elections is the fact that the democrats elected four congress. men in Iowa. Their utmost efforts, hitherto, have only been equal to the task of composing the election of two members. Doubtless the agita- tion preceding and following the adoption of the prohibitory amend msnt to the state constitution of Iowa has had much to do with this result. The democrats having every. where adopted anti-sumptuary law platforms, all the opponents of fanat. cism rallied around the party in Iowa as in California.

THE supreme court of the republic of Mexico has recently decided that stone coal is mineral and that de. posits of this coal can be "denounced in conformity with the mining laws of the country" The test case was brought forward by Mir. Patrick Nilmo of the state of Nuevo Leon Mr. Milmo owns large estate, upon which very rich deposit of stone coal was discovered and denounced by prospectors some time ago. Mr. Milmo, it appears, refused to allow the coal to be extracted, and ap' pealed to the courts for protection on the ground that stone coal is not a mineral and therefore is not sub jeet to Announcement under the pro. visions of the mining ordinances The local court decided against Mr. Milmo, and he has appealed from ono court to another until the su-. preme court of the republic has f. nally decided against him. This decision settles a ve1ed question, and will ensbls prospectors for coal to denounce the deposits wherever they may be found.

AN astonishing bit of news comes from Washington. 1t is to the effect that people are speculating there over the leadership of the next house. It has been 50 long since the house had leader that we sup. posed it had been forgotten that there ever was one. The last house had none. That one is needed IS evident from the shiftless way in which leg. islation IS allowed to drift. A eau. GUS cannot fill the bill. A live, ener- getic, honest, patriotic and broad minded man is needed at the speak CTS right hand. What democrat bids for the place?

DEMAND FOR SILVER CURRENCY

In face of the facts and hgurss it will be exceedingly difficult for the mono metalists to prove their oft re. iterated claim that there is likely to be any very great "glut of liver dol lars" in the United States treasuriss, or to show that the people do not want silver currency. Reports from Washington state that during tho week ending November Il, the sum of $1, ,o32,9OO standard silver dollars were put in circulation by the United States hints. During the sane pe- riod last year but $36O,400 wero sent out. As the demand is now, ,as ,own by report, over one million collars per week, while the coinage nt pres- ent is only two millions per month, it is evident that there must be an increase, if the wants of the people are to be taken into consideration. The next step to be taken i' to repeal the law which limits tho currency value of the silver dollar, so that the government shall not be guilty of a falsehood every time it issues silver dollar to one of its citizens. An eastern mining exchange, in speaking of the necessity for the repeal of this law, says that the sil. yer currency of our country could have no stronger indorsement than the fact that, although deprecated by legislation, fought against and de- rided by the goldites,..lsft to struggle in the unequal battle with the treas ury department opposed to its ex- istence, and the mother bosom of the government cold, the dollar of our fathers has won "a place-or in truth never has been torn from its place in the currency of the nation and the hearts of the people. After dis. graceful struggle, actuated by the most selfish motives, which in a de- cade of years has failed to accom-. plish its purpose, the next congress should hasten to repeal a law which is dishonorable in its character, un. just to the people and their indus tries, by which an attempt was made to degrade substantial portion of our national currency to the injury of every valuable interest of the whole country. Self-pressrvation is the first law of nature, and the pub. llc good is an argument too strong to be long mistaken or misunder- stood.

TELEGRAPHIC.
GENERAL NEWS.
Electric Phenomena.


 CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-Officers of the Western Union telegraph office say the electrical disturbances in this country to-day were the most pro- nounoed and widespread experienced for years, if indeed paralleled in some respects at any time. An electric storm of tho greatest violence is raging in all the territory from New York to points beyond Omaha, and from Kansas City north to the ter minus of telegraphic communication, practically putting stop to tele- graphic service over the entire area. The storm seemed to go in successive negative and positive waves, utterly neutralizing tke currents on the wires or increasing them in intensity to such degree as to burn every thing. The switch board here has been on fire dozen times during the forenoon, and half dozen keys of instruments melted by the current. Duplex and quadruplex wires were useless. At noon but . single wire between this city and New York was in operation, and it was frequently interrupted. Work was received from Milwaukee that the atmos- pheric electricity coming in on its wire from the country has such dynamic power as to suffice for keep ing the electric lamp burning.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Telegraphic communication is generally inter rupted by an electric storm which extends throughout the United States and eastern provinces of Canada, Cables were hours behind. Brilliant auroras were visible all over the country.
 LONDON, Nov. lS.-A great me. teoris storm is prevailing on the continent and throughout the united kingdom, causing serious interrup. ton to telegraph.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Ths elec- tris storm yesterday extended from Boston as far west as Ogden, and this morning its influence is still fel, in certain localities,sO that telegraph ic communication IS considerably in. terrupted. A variety ofexperiments were tried by telsgraphers during the prevalence of tho storm to worL off and dispose of the great accumu lation of business, but with little sue. cess, un til It was discovered that by taking two wires from the ground between any two given points anc joining their ends, circuit wal formed that could be operated. IT this way the two wires between Buf falo and Chicago were made to dc service as four. Electricians seen to agree that the disturbance was un like any heretofore experienced, q! it appeared to act upon the wires Ii strong waves, causing constan changing of polarity.

IT is a somewhat curious fact that in Now York, state with over five times the population of California, they knew all about the election the next day. It is positively enough to make one profane when one contem- plates the delays which are thrown in the way of an immediate declara- ton of the result in that state and this territory.

His knowledge of law, his integrity, his pluck, and his popularity makes the selection one highly to be com- mended.

THE REPUBLICAN REVOLT.

The sweeping reverses experienced by the republican party in the late election were due mainly to the gros. corruptions of that party. The re- suit was attained by large percents age of republicans voting the demo- cratic ticket, and the supposition that the voted with the democracy be- cause of preference for democratic theories and principles is scarcely tenable. It was no doubt the spirit of "reform within the party" that aotua- ted republicans and contributed large ly to democratic success. Disguised with the manifold frauds, wholesale jobbery and universal corruption which has characterized their own par ty. They voted the democratic ticket much in the same spirit that a con- scientious parent administers pun ishment to a wayward child-in the hope that the chastisement may prove efficatious and beneficial. But nev- ertheless the democracy will reap an advantage that will result in con. tinued lease of power from this open revolt of the republican masses. All that is required is that the democratic party do not abuse the confidence re. posed in them. Honest and consci. entious republicans will be per suaded to continue tho confidence, if it be not betrayed or abused. Re- form of the administration of the government, tbe correction of abuses, the economical expenditure of the peoples money and high regard for their rights will be successful in retaining the confidence of such re. publlcans, who, considering their country above their party, have voted against convictions and affiliations of a lifetime that they might rebuke those who have betrayed them in the past,

THE chief argument used by re- publicans for the election of Porter during the recent campaign was that the delegate should be in political accord with the majority of congress.
