Charley Wallace. Assessor OF Eureka
county, undoubtedly is entitled to the
pastry, lie was mainly instrumental
IN the bringing of the suit, lately de.
ciied in the Supreme Court, which de.
crees that stock shall be assessed
in the county where the home ranch is
located. In that case the lew as inter
preted by our highest tribunal was in
favor OF Eureka county. Charley, of
course, thought it was right as it in.
urcd, IN that instance to the ben, fit Of
his own county. But mark another in
stance in which he decided that unless
Eureka was the party benefited, sach
an Interpretation OF the statutes was
radically wrong. Oliver Rife, Of
Mound Valley, in this county, keeps
his sheep during the greater part of the
ear Mt his home ranch. During the
winter months he herds them in Nye
county. While driving them through
Eureka county from Nye to Elko this
year, they were waylnid by the Eureka
Assessor and assessed in that county.
OF course, under the Supreme Court
decision, the assessment was illegal.
but the chances are that Charley will
maintain that Elko homo ranch sheep
are not subject to the same law under
which Eureka cattle in another county
shoul be assessed.

In deciling contested land case.

following definition OF the word "set-
uement," ns. used in the Presumption
Act: '::Residence is MOI necessary to a

who does some act on the land indica.
tive Of an intention to claim the bene-

of house and residence thereon may
manifest such purpose. in connection
with other acts. yet there msy be n
valid settlement without residence. To
fell trees, to plov or fence the land. or
lay the fouuoation for house, or to do
any other act which clearly manifests a
purpose to convert tho land into n
home, will, il followed by residence,
give the party pre-emption right
which relates back to its first act. No
definite time within which residence
must comnence,is fixed by law. 1t must
however, be within such reasonable
time as to manifest n purpose to COM

THE NEXT PREsIDENTIAL CAN
DIDATE

There may lie some peculiar signifi-
cnnce in the advocacy of Tilden for
the Presidential nomination by the
New York Sun. 1t is early in the sea-
son to enter into a canvass Of the per-
sonal merits OF nny candidate; bu. the
following from that paper is sugges-
tive:
A: the present state OF the discussion
as TO who shall be the next Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, the name
Of Samuel Tildeu has risen into great
er prominence than any other. The rep
resentatiyes OF several newspapers have
lately visited Mr.. Tilden at his home at
Greystone. and their report upon the
condition of the retired statesman's
physical vigor is such that he is once
more mentioned as candidate for
1884, and the possibility of his leading
the Democrats to victory is ngain dis
cussed by the press, both Republican
and Democratic.
The sentiment among the Repuhli-
cans, as expressed by the press OF
that party ana through several of their
political leaders, is that if Mr.. Tilden
should emerge from his retirement and
appear again at the head of tho Demo-
cratic ranks. the idea of their electipg
the Republican ticket in 1854 would
practically disappear. II the Demo-
Gratis should offer to put in Office a mau
OF such vast experience and of ouch
known wisdom as Mr.. Tilden, the
great majoriti's that swept away tho
Republicans last fall would be held by
the Democrats in the approaching cam
paigu, aud the long career Of Republi-
can corruption aud extravaganza would
be finally brought to n close.
On the Other hand, what an End to
all petty disagre-ments and useless
chickering's would Mr.. Tilden's nomina-
tion bring to the Democrats! To have
once more at their head a leader who
knows and honors the principles OF
Democracy, OF II wisdom and knowledge
OK public affairs far superior to men OF
his time, and of an intellectual power
that could engraft the fruits Of his pol
titical studies upon the perverted sys-
en- OF our government aud make it
such IA Democracy rs was outlined by
Thomas Jefferson. Theorists OF every
kind in The Democratic party, protec-
tionis,s, free traders, men who be.
lieve in hard money or in soft money,
would all follow Mr. Tilden's guid-
Of his ability to deal with the mighty
task OF reforming the Government.

A demurrer interpossd in the suit
against the bondsmen Of the late Treas
urer of White Pine county. Geo. p.
MeConkey, has been sustained by
Judge Rives. This decision will, il is
said. have the effect Of putting an end to
nll proceedings in the matter. so that il
White Pine has sustained a loss
through one OF her officials, her citizsr,
can bear il with the best grace they
may. This is one more instance illus
trative Of the injustice aud absurdlty
of the official bond system, which
while lulling into finciei security dulls
tha spirit Of legitimate inquiry. and at
last exhibits the fallacy of it's pretes-
tions by utterly failing to bripg the
promised relief. Hnd McCoDkey held
the Office Of Treasurer Of White Pine
county simply by virtue Of faith in his
ability and integrity, on the part OF the
citizens OF that section, would their
losses have been greater than at present
under this so-called surety system7 Is
1t not probable that il would have been
less?
