DILATORY COMMITTEE

Yesterday Mr.. Westertield
arose to a personal explanation
regarding the article in the APP
PEAL in which it was intimated
that the motion to adjourn sine
die on February 10th was in the
interest Of the c. P r. r. Mr..
w. emphatically asserted that
his motion was made in good
faith for the simple purpose of
economy. He also plainly de-
MED that he had ever had con-
versation with anyone connect
ed with or in the interest of
railroads concerning delaying
railroad legislation in any man.
ner. The reason assigned for
the delay in reporting the rail-
read bills now in committee is
that others of a similar nature
are coming in ard there is
plenty of time to consider all of
them between now and the 10th
day of February. Later in the
session, however, Senator Smyth
asked what had become of his
bill, left seventeen days ago in
the hands of the Railroad Com
mittee, of which Westerfield
is Chairman, and it transpired
that Westerfield had not called
any meeting of the Committee.
The bill has been now seven
teen full days in the hands of
Westerfield, Kaiser and Tolly,
yet there is a rule Of the Senate
that each and every bill must
he reported inside of fifteen
days. 1t would strike casual
observer that it is high time for
the r. r. Commi0ee to meet
and transact some business.

sQUELCH THIS JOB

Mr.. Dale has given notice that
he will to-day move for a recon-
sideration of the vote by which
Senate Concurrent Resolution
No. 3 passed the House. The
proposition is simply job
against the mining interests of
Nevada. Under the bill the
unsurveyed State land can be
surveyed and the sections
marked "nOn-mineral." The
land so marked can be purchased
at $1.25 an acre, and under the
law the mineral goes with the
purchase, If miner has a
claim on this land he wakes up
some morning to find that the
labor of years has been swept
away and his only remedy is a
tedious litigation which he can
not afford to institute. AS soon
as timber land is surveyed and
marked "non-mineral," even
though there be dozen mines
on it, he can no longer cut tim
Der. Last Fall an attempt was
made by this same gang Of
schemers to gobble up all the
mines of Nye county by this
process and they raised such a
rumpus about their ears that they
were glad to go further South.
Schooling's Saline bill is another
similar job and the vote which
passed it should be reconsidereu.
The miners will keep a record
of the men who to-day, knowing
the full extent of the job, vote
for the Surveyors Resolution.

GARRARD OR MERRILL.

Relative to the report that
Governor Adams will appoint
Garrard as his Private Secretary
if he loses the Wardenship OF
the State Prison, the Leode,
says:
Governor Adams, we know,
Is too reliable a gentleman to
effer any inducements to Major
Garrard, after having appointed
already ex-Speaker Merrill as his
Private Secretary, causing the
latter to leave his home and
practice at Eureka to assume
the duties of his new position.
And their organ, the Sentinel,
remarks
1t is generally undo rstood that
VIM. Garrard is to be Governor
Adams Private Secretary after
the adjournment of the present
Legislature. 1t may be even
stated right here, on authority,
that this is fact. The state
ment is not made for the sake of
a newspaper item, but in order
rather to set speculation at rest
as to the tenure of Office Of the
resent incumbent.

without sufficient reason. Instead Of send
ing the Attorney. General or some other
official to conduct the examination of wit
nesses, Butler himself left the Guberna-
torial chair to become prosecuting attorney
in the case. He was dramatic in his man.
ner, sensational in his methods, and
constantly posed for effect before
the whole country. The examination
was most OF the time typical of those COM
mon in metropolitan magistrates Grim
inal court. Instead of seeking out corrup.
ton and its causes, with view to apply
ing remedies and furnishing criminality,
Governor Butler dwels so long and so ur-
gently upon the sale of dead bodies and
the tanning of human skins, as to impress
the people with the idea that that was the
sole business of the ofhcials of the aims
house. The impressions created by go
much OF the testimony as has been pub.
lished abroad are not justified by review
Of all the evidence. In his closing argu-
ment, according to a reputable Eastern
journal, the Governor descended to the
meanness to declaim about the aristocrats
of Massachusetts, wearing slippers made OF
tanned human hides sent from Tewksbury.
To say the least, such descent to petit
Jogging disgraces the Governor of SOW
ereign State. But the facts are, that the
Governor secured only minority report OF
his own Board, and the majority report
sets out clearly, and with no uncertain
comment, that the almshouse was about as
well managed as are most such institutions !;
that the Encouragement complained OF
was, in the main, corrected years ago, but
that some looseness, not amounting, how
ever, to criminality, still remains. No
corruption on the part OF officials or en-
ployes was disclosed, but the books were
not as well kept as they should have been.
The dead bodies sent to medical institutes
were so forwarded by direction of an act
of the Legislature, and the sensational
statements relative tc tanning human skins
had its foundation in the fact that some
parties not connected with the almshouse
in any way, secretly tanned human skin, or
procured it to be done as an experiment,
and in two of the four cases it turned out
that the bodies from which the skins were
taken did not come from the almshouse.
The whole affair, which at first promised to
be SO effective weapon for Butler, turns
out to be precisely the opposite, and will
not only not popularize him, but actually
render him more unpopular than ever, if
that can be, and if he again claims the
votes of the people it is entirely probable
that they will tell MIN at the polls that
they are satisfied with their experiment,
and do not propose to repeat it.

THE RESULT OF A GUBERaAroRIAL
SENSATION,

Pending the investigation of the abuses
in the management of the Tewksbury
Almshouse in Massachusetts,, and Cover
nor Buffers prosecution of the charges,
considerable horrifying testimony was pub
lished, that appeared to prove there was a
loose management in some respects and a
great deal of inhumanity in the institu.
ton. But defense was made. and it re-
futed the great majority of the charges,
and established that for the most part the
trade in corpses was not chargeable to the
Almsmouse authorities, and did not ex-
coed lawful permission. But it is not
necessary to rehesrse the facta. Suffice it
to say that the investigation did not yield
as much political capital for General But
Ter as he hoped, and left MIN with but a
tanned human hide as solitary trophy.
There were submitted majority and mi.
nority reports of the investigating COM
mittee. The majority report arraigns
Governor Batler for an attempt to make
theinvestigation yieldhim politicalammuni-
ton. He conducted the inquiry not for
the purpose of correcting abuses and doing
justice to the fair fame of the Bay State,
but to bring himself into prominence as a
reformer, and with view of advancing his
own ambitious ends. He was so imbued
with this spirit. that his prosecution be.
came persecution, and his assaults upon
public institutions of the highest standing
were intended to bring them into disrepnts

markedly calm and undisturbed. But in
1850 we entered year of great convulsive
activity, and toward its close, he adds, the
solar spot maximum was reached. In &C.
cordance with the theory of relation noted,
this is testimony tending to establish as
fact the connection between solar and
earthly disturbances. 1t is small comfort
to learn from kirkwood that the periods
between the last two spot minima were
greater than any Immediately preceding
He records, also, that sun spots and prom
inences increased from january to July,
1881, and at no time was the suns
disk free from them. Since then the
record of the spots has shown a
general increase, and the solar disturbances
have augmented, while the fluctuations in
the way of diminished numbers of spots
and lessened solar connections have been
slight. Astronomical science, therefore,
leaves the lay mind in an unsettled state,
but with a preponderance of testimony in
favor of a theory very disturbing to the
nervous and timid and those inclined to
anticipate all kinds of evil for this much
vexed globe.

LINCOLN AND rHg pREsIDENCY.

It is said that there is serious eonsidera-
ton being had in certain quarters of the
proposition to present the name of Secre-
tary Lincoln as candidate before the Re-
publican National Convention for the
Presidential nomination. The sooner the
scheme is abandoned the better. Mr.. Lin
coin has no claims whatever for considera.
ton in this direction. This will be obvious
at glance. If he is nominated for the
Presidency it will not be because of his
great public services, commanding talents,
broad governmental experience or states
