Presidents and Presidential Candidates
Nine States of the Union have been
honored by having Presidents selected
from among their citizens, viz: Vir-
ginia, Massachusetts,, Tennessee, New
York, Ohio, Louisiana, New Hamp-
shire, Pennsylvania and Illinois.
Washington, Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe were Virginians, and the terms
of their service aggregated thirty-two
years. John Tyler, of Virginia, chosen
rs Vice President, became President,
and served four years lacking one
month. Thus Virginia furnished our
Presidents for thirty-six of the seventy
two years, commencing with the found
alton of the Government in 1889 and end
ing with the civil war in 1861, being
just one-half the time.
John Adams and John Quincy Adams
were both Massachusetts men, and each
served four years.
Jackson and Polk were from Tennes-
see, and their terms aggregated twelve
years. Andrew Johnson was chosen
Vice President, but became President
and served four years lacking month
and half. Thus Tennessee gave us
Presidents for about sixteen years.
Van Buren, was new Yorker, and
served four years. Fillmore and Arthur
were chosen Vice Presidents, but be-
came Presidents, the former serv-
ing nearly three years, and the latter
will at the end of his term have served
three years and a half.
Thus New York will have supplied
the Executive chair during ten and a
half years.
Harrison, Hayes and Garfield were
from Ohio. The first died within a
month and the latter about six months
after entering the Office.
Taylor was from Louisiana. He
served but little more than year.
Pierce, of New Hampshire, served
four years.
Buchanan was a Pennsylvania and
served four years.
Lincoln and Grant were from Illinois,
and each was twice elected. Their
terms aggregated twelve years and a lit
tie more than q month. To recap.trf-
late, the States named below have fur
nished all our Presidents and for the
length of time given:

The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that when an attor-
ney has violated the law and disgraced
his profession court can 6isbar him
without waiting for his trial and con-
viction. j. b. Wall, Florida lawyer,
became weary Of the monotony of legal
proceedings, and INDUCED in the
amusement of taking prisoner out of
Jail and lynching him. Judge Locke,
of the United States District Court,
summoned the lawless attorney before
him, heard what he had to say, and
disbarred him. Wall would not admit
that the Judge had power to disbar
him for having taken little recreation
of that kind, and he asked the SUI
preme Court to compel the Judge to
restore him to the bar. The Supreme
Court sustained Judge Locke. An at
torney is an officer of the court, and it
is his duty to assist the court in admin
istering Justice. A layman who lynches
a man who is awaiting trial commits
very grave crime; but a lawyer and Off
Ger of the court who joins him in the
work deserves even severer punish
ment. Judge Field, who dissented in
this case, admitted that an attorney
might be disbarred before trial for i'm
proper conduct in his professional bus
mess. If this be so, then greater Of
lenses and indictable crimes ought not
to be ignored by the courts. A more
vigorous enforcement of rules in this
direction would have an excellent eff
feet in many courts, where men who
have been indicted more than once for
iury-fxing and other crimes are still
defending criminals. One of the law
yers who has appeared for the star
route defendants in both trials was in
dicted three or four years ago for jury
fixing, and is now under indictment for
another crime. But Judge Locke
seems to have thought he must draw
the line somewhere, and he drew it
when he reached the crime of lynching.

Mr.. WILLIAM HoYLE, of Claremont,
Bury, England, who is one of the most
indefatigable gatherers of statistics in
the temperance interest, has put forth
some statements that the Salvation Ar
my and Blue Ribbon people assume to
be demonstration of the good results
of their labors. He has shown that in
1876 the consumption of Intoxicating
drink in the United Kingdom amounted
to e147 ,2SS, 759, an allowance of "a 9s
per head of the population. In 1880 it
had fallen off to CD los Id. per head /;
in 1881 it rose to CD lbs. 10d., and again
in 1882 declined to Go lis. I'd. In 1892
the total consumption was El26, 251, :
$50. A decline in yearly consumption,
amounting to col ,037, 400, is certainly q
great deal, and might be gratifying
exhibit for the temperance folks it they
could Justly claim all the credit of it f;
but Mr.. Hoyle frankly says that he at
tributes it mainly to depression in trade,
and leaves it to be inferred as his opin-
ion that the more money the people
have to spend the more they will squan-
der in liquor, if they can find opportun-
tiles for doing so. Hence he and other
extremists are desperately fighting
against all granting of licenses. Peo-
pie shall be sober, willy-nilly, if Mr..
Hoyle can have his way about it.

A special session of the Grand Lodge
of Ancient Order Of United Workmen
is called to meet at Gold Hill, August
3rd. The purpose for which the special
session is called is to pass resolution
authorizing the Grand Master to petition
the Supreme Grand Master to set
Nevada, Utah, Montana and Wyoming,
apart as separate beneficiary jurisdic-
tion when membership of 1000 is
reached. AS the representatives from
the several Lodges in Western Nevada
constitute quorum of the Grand
Lodge, there is no necessity of putting
the Lodges in Eastern Nevada and the
Territories to the expense of sending
representatives to Gold Hill, conse-
quently none of the Lodges East OF
Reno are expected to be represented at
the special session.

The EInrney InIity indians.

The Reno Gazette is informed by
"Swamper" that there are in the vicin-
ity of Camp Harvey 800 Indians, all
told-men, women and children. They
are perfectly peaceful aud say all they
want is to hunt there; that there is no
game on the Tacoma Reservation. and
that many are sick and dying there.
All are at work that can get work, and
say they will not go back on the reser-
walton. They say they will die first.
A man was sent to Bidwell for soldiers
ten days ago, but the citizens in general
are for letting the Indians alone, as
there will be serious trouble if they try
to remove them.

from one. half to three-quarters of an
inch wide. There are from IS to 100
heads on each stalk, and the seed is
almost as large as buckwheat and very
plump. 1t grows luxuriantly on culti-

with avidity, apparently preferring it
to alfalfa. 1t requires very little il
any irrigation. and as it is indigenous
to the soil, it is not affected by cold
and does not winter kill.

A woman arrived here yesterday fore
noon from the Fast with seven children
in tow, and at almost the same hour a
man reached the depot from the North
with five offsprings of various ages and
sizes. she was widow and he wild
over, and the children had not been
spanked more than once around before
there was a sort Of mutual sympathy
that begot admiration, and then friend
ship. One of the widows boys offered
one of the widower's girls bite of his
friedcake, which was accepted in the
spirit rendered; and the n-yearold
girl belonging to the man made up TO
the two-year-old belonging to the
woman and soon secured the privilege
of wiping its nose and combing its hair.
Presently the widower made bold to
inquire:
Madam. am wrong in believing
that you're q widow"
81 have been a widow fourteen
months to-day" she answered.
"Great Scott! but it's just fourteen
months to-day since my Hammer died {!
Which way may you be going!"
"To Illinoy."
That's just where I'm going too.
Did you promise your husband never to
marry again'"
"No."
"And | didn't promise my wife,
either. Fact is, believe shall unite
as soon as find some good woman"
"And my children need fathers
care" she sighed, as she pulled little
John Henry off the window sill and
bumped him into a seat.
The man got up and walked around
the waiting room, and took a closer
look at the children. Then he returned
and said:
Il suppose you have got few hun
dred dollars belonging to some church,
and can wash, bake and mend, and are
of forgiving disposition.
"Yes, that's me"
"Well, I'm kinder religious, even
tempered, and am worth about s., 600.
I'm sort o stuck on you. There's
something about your eyes that reminds
me OF Hammer"
"And you look like Alonzo around
the mouth, she sighed.
Then he bent over and whispered
something about Chicago and getting
married, and she nodded her head. He
gathered his children under his wing,
took them into corner and solemnIy
and impressively said
"Children, I'm going to get married
to that woman over there and give you
new mother. II any of you is going
to kick and boo-hoo about it, begin now,
so that l can tune ye down before the
train goes. Henry, you are the Oldest
are you going to declare you'll run
away or commit suicide? Let me know
right now, for this is a good place to
prance ye around with shingle."
Henry said he guessed it would be
all right, and the rest of the crowd
agreed, and ten minutes later the widow
and widower sat holding hands and
trying to eat peanuts, and the twelve
children were biting and pulling hair
and kicking to see who should have a
seat on the steam heater.
"This is kinder the work of heaven"
