their call and will not nominate q

four hundred republicans who patron

day who have been nominated, but
the mass Of republican voters In this

know whom they are asked to support
on the day before election.

Ar its last session congress voted q
reduction Of three dollars q thousand
In the tax on cigars. 1t 10 admitted
that consumers will get no benefit
from this change In the revenue laws,
and the manufacturers propose to
pocket the additional profit. On this
account the cigar makers of the coun.
try are preparing to strike on the first
OF May, unless their employers agree
to share with them some of the bene.
fits, amounting to a tenth of a cent
on each cigar, or a dollar a thousand.
For u part, we sincerely hope that
they may get 1t. Their success will
help to distribute the reduction of
revenue among the people, and thus
to effect that tightening of the public
burdens which was the ostensible pur.
pose Of congress In reducing the tariff.
The tax IL reduced enough to take ten
or twelve millions out of the treasury.
but not enough to lesssn prices e

The report which comes from the
east that the authorship Of the Union
Pacific railroad has been rendered to q

ably correct. Mr.. Gannett, who has
for many years stood at the head Of
that department In Omaha, virtually
retired from the position some months
ago owing to enfeebled health. His
actual retirement will be received with

SURPRISING AaIrAroRs.

The British Lion Is roaring loudly
over the outrages committed by the
" Irish press" In America, and Minis.
ter West has been requested to draw
the attention Of our government to
the utterances of O'Donovan Rossas'
Irish american and Mr.. Ford's incen.
diary Irish World. just what Mr..
Gladstone expects the United States
to do under the circumstances II Is
difficult to determine: We have no
law to prevent the publication Of crit.
icisms of foreign governments by polit.
ical exiles, and II We had such Q law
no American jury would enforce It.
The English ministry have poor
memories If they fail to recollect that
in 1858 Q like demand Was made upon
England by the French government,
and that MI. Palmerston's ministry
fell under an attempt to pass . bill
embodying the principle advanced.
The same arguments which defeated
that measure In the English parlia.
ment would make its defeat two times
more overwhelming In the American
congress. The people of the United
States have no sympathy with assas.
sins, but they will never abridge the
freedom Of the press.
During the civil war the English
press was, for the most part, hostile
to the union. It gave constant aid
aud comfort to the confederacy; and
through Its influence on the English
oapitalits, who furnished the sinews Of
war to the southern government, pro
longed by several years the existence
of the c~onfederacy. How would Mr..
Gladstone and his ministerial col.
leagues, several of whom were In
power during that period have
treated q demand from the United
States for tho suppression of the In
cendiary press of Great Britain. They
would have hooted 1t out of the for.
elgn office. What the English min.
istry calls "the assassination press
lives and thriyes from the criminal
blunders OF the English government
In Its treatment of Ireland. The
moment the Irish problem IL settled,
Is 1t only can be SETTLED by giving thai
country q fair measure Of local gov
eminent, the O'Donovan Rosaas and
Pat Groves will be out Of q job. A,
has been well said, there Is only on,
way for England out Of the difficulty,
and that 10 to come to terms with tn.
reasonable Irishmen. Having don,
this she will not suffer long from I'M,

CALIFORNIA is alarmed yer the pos
sibility Of q failure in her wheat crop.
The spring rains are delaying much
longer than usual, and unless there Is
q generous rainfall within two weeks
time, irrigation will have to be de-
pended upon to supply q crop large
enough for the home market. Last
year California exported 40 per cent
Of the entire amount Of wheat sent
from the United States. A failure In
the wheat crop on the Pacific coast
this year, taking into consideration
the certainty Of small h~arvests
abroad, is q serious prospect.

THE WATER DITCH.
1t Has Again DrOken-Precautions that
Should be Taken Against Fire.


Again the water ditch has broken
away, and this time it is near the
smelter, above town. There has been
no water IN the ditch the past three
days, and if some definite action is
not taken to keep a supply running in
the bitches through town, to be used
in case of fire, the Underwriters will
withhold all policies to owners Of
buildings i'll the business quarter of
town. The nightwatch patrol offers
to repair and to keep the water run
ming in the ditch, if provided with
small fund, monthly, for that pur-
pose.
1t is desirable that a meeting be
held by the citizens at an early date
to arrange for a fire company and a
small building in which shall be kept,
always accessible, axes, hooks, ladders,
and buckets. This building to be
always kept open, as at present the
fire buckets are distributed around in
houses and stores which are locked up
at nj ght, and are thus practically of
no value.

gether with the appropriation which

L0T.JUMPERS,
TWO ATTEMPTS TO CAPTURE A 1a,T
FOILED.

Aliene Case Fills Up the Postholes
al the First, and Robert E. Stra.
horn Chops Down the Fence at the
second Attempt-A Timely Warming.
Early this morning Lewis Walker,
the colored barber, put some men to
work erecting fence on lot near
the south end of Main street. As the
l. \ .. Land Improvement Company
claimed the lot, Aliene Case. as soon
as he heard of it, walked to the lot
and, taking hold of one of the work
mems shovels, began filling one of the
postholes with earth. The men remon-
strated i'll semi-hostile manner, Mr..
Case drew revolver and emphatical-
ly stated that the lot belonged to the
l. Il .. Company, and it would be de-
Tended in any way necessary.
The workmen thereupon left, when
Mr.. Case threw the fencing material
in the street.
Early in the afternoon Robert E.
Strahorn, walking past the lot, saw
that Il fence had been erected upon
it, and was nearly completed. Step
ping into neighbours, Mr.. Strahorn
borrowed All ak and unhesitatinglv
chopped down the fence. The men
roundabout protested, but attempted
no open violence, and Mr.. Strahorn
was permitted to complete his work
and walk away unmolested.
The attempt to jump lots, or cause
any land trouble of any kind, in this
Guy, IL may as Well be understood
right now, cannot rebound to the profit
of the jumpers, as the |. & 0. Com
pany will not permit piece of land
belonging to them to be jumped, even
if to defend their property they are
compelled to initiate legal proceed
ings. Nor will the citizens of HALEY
permit it, as the very life of the
locality depends upon the full and UNI
obstructed enjoyment Of property
rights. Intending jumpers had, there
fore, better consider well the act
before proceeding to jump lot.

GOVERNOR JOHN Il. NEIL.
The Citizens Of Wood River, Irrespec.
tive Of Party, Express Their Regret
ut His Removal.

Last Saturday evening a meeting
OF the citizens of Wood River, ire
spective of party, was held in Probate
Judge Parsons's office, in this city, for
the purpose of expressing regret at
the removal Of our worthy Governor,
John Is. Neil. A Committee on Reso
lutlons was appointed, who presented
the following preamble and resolu-
tons, which were unanimously
adopted,
WHEREAS, Our esteemed chief
executive, Jno. B. Neil, has been sud-
denly superseded, without known
cause; be it
Resolved, That the removal, with
out cause, of SO efficient a man who
had been so clear in his great office as
to win golden opinions from all sorts
OF people was ill-trmed, unfair and
unjust to him and us.
Resolved, That the Governor, bv his
uniform, gentlemanly bearing, energy
and political sagacity displayed in the
late campaign, greatly aided the peo-
pie of this Territory in holding in
check the element in our midst who are
striving to make so-called religious
denomination the dominant political
power in the far West, and cause what
the founders of the Republic, and we,
their descendants, now fear, viz: a
union of church and State, which we
all know is subversive of our cherished
form of government.
Resolved, That independent of the
foregoing, the removal from office of
the late incumbent before the expira-
ton of his term of office, and without
reason, is very serious blow to the
cause which we think every good
American citizen has at heart, viz. !:
that of civil service reform-and con-
trary to the expectations which we all
entertained of the present National
Administration.
Resolved, That we look upon Gov
erner Neil as true type of the West
ern man, open, bold and fearless in
his expressions Of what he deemed
right or wrong, and, as such, an ac-
QUESTION to our community. And SO
believing, we cordially invite him, on
the turning over of his office to his
successor, to come here and be one of
US and aid in opening up this new
Ell Dorado, of the richness of which
he has had ample opportunity to sat
isfy himself.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be furnished to the press
for publication, and the original be
forwarded to Governor Neil.
