The California Mustang.

A prominent cattle man, and q
we'll known writer on stock, says the
Reno Gazette, agree that horsemen
are making a mistake in breeding
out the California mustang blood
from their cattle horses. The CATTLE
man, who was Hook Mason, said
that he had never found horse that
had its power OF endurance coupled
with agility and intelligence. The
writer, who was Mr.. Williams, said
that the same fact was being impress
ed upon cattlemen all over California.

Some time ago the TIMES did some
advertising for a firm in Topeka,
Kansas, known as w. X. Patton &
Co. They advertised to sell shirts
and watches at remarkably low fig
ures and did considerable advertising
to this effect throughout the State.
II seems that several parties reading
these advertisements have been blk
ed by the above named concern, and
try to blame the papers for the loss
Of their money. The TINES publish
ed notice some weeks ago to the
effect that this firm did not pay its
advertising bill at this office, and ad-
vised people not to trust their money
with them. There Is one other house
that is running an "ad" in the
TIMES, that 1t will be we'll for the
people who read the paper to steer
clear of for time, until it can be
found out whether they mean to pay
or not. This Is the firm advertising
under the head of "Salicylica."

After the Horse Thieves.

The cattle men of the northern
part of Humboldt county are deter
mined to stop horse stealing, and
say they will spend thousands of
dollars, if necessary, for the arrest
and conviction OF the thieves who
stole Jerry Hearn's and other horses
last week. AS a starter, three of
them, namely, Colonel Hardin, Hook
Mason and j. p. Anderson offer $3.50
In addition to the $3.50 offered by
Hearn for the arrest of the horse
thieves.

Facts and Figures.

If the advocates of the removal of
the United States Land Office to Eu-
rsks will stop to consider how small
the business Is in that end of the
State, they will readily see the falla.
cy 1t is to make the change. Last
month the business transacted was
as follows: Carson Land Office o.
100 acres, Eureka Land Office, l44
acres, and it was considered a dull
month in the Carson office.-Appeat.

Political Pan.

The Carson Appeal is mistaken in
Its assertion that the TIMET- REVIEW
supported Mr.. FAIR In his contest for
the United States Senatorship. This
paper at that time was owned by its
present proprietors, and they being
OF different political compilations the
paper took no part whatever in the
political contest. 1t published the
tickets aud platforms of both parties,
and was paid for the same at regular
advertising rates, and that was all
the "pap" it received from either
side. The junior was on the Demo-
cratic Electoral ticket and stumped
a portion of the State for Handbook
and English. Only that and moth
ing more. Times -Revte,0.
We should say that getting pap
from both sides showed good bust.
ness capacity on the part of the
manager. If we recollect right the
APPEAL and the Ruby Hill News
were the only two Republican papers
in Nevada who fought Fair square
up to the day he was elected.-Car-
SON appeal.
You are TOO narrow as to your rec
objection. This paper made hard
hight against Mr.. Fair and kept it
up to the last day. There was no
milk aud water in the fight, nor,
sooth to say, was there any "pap."

THE OLD WORLD
FRANCE AND CHINA.

LONDON, Sept. S.-A Paris dispatch says
a member of the Chinese embassy at Paris
states that nothing in the nature of a
treaty between France and China is yet
agreed upon. China submitted her pro-
posals, and now awaits counter proposals
from France. China demands her sever
eighty of AMMAN be sustained exactly as
hitherto, and any idea of merely honorary
sovereignty will not be entertained by the
Chinese government. This will be the
keynote of all negotiations that will be be-
gun in relation to the treaty between the
two countries. Marquis Tseng leaves Paris
for London Sunday, and will not return
till he receives proposals from France.
PARIS, Sept. 8.-Figaro publishes the
following as the principal points of the
agreement arrived at by the Marquis
Tseng, Chinese ambassador. and Challs-
met Lecour, French minister of foreign
affairs for the settlements of the Tonquin
question: The French protectorats to be
hereafter confined to the Delta and Red
river, China to open the navigation of
the Red river down to La Kay, which shall
be the only point to trade with the Yum
nan frontier. At all other points to be
closed by the establishment of neutral
zone which shall be garrisoned by AMMAN
ties. China undertakes to prevent further
incursions of the black flag. The sover-
eighty of China over AMMAN to be reog-
nized by the mere act of homage, after
which China will recognize the treaty of
Hue. The French force of occupation to
be limited to 1000 men.
LONDON, Sept. 8.-The Daily News states
it has reason to believe Marquis Tseng
clings as strongly as ever to the hope of
European arbitration between China and
France, in view of the enormous prepond-
erance of trade of England, Germany and
even of France in the east. 1t is thought
the cabinets of neutral powers would be
justified in offering their friendly services
to France and China.
LONDON, Sept. S.-The Standards Hong
Kong special says the absence of the Brit
ish fleet at the present time from Chinese
waters excites the deepest Indignation
among English residents there, and all
other Chinese ports, as the relations be-
tween Europeans and nations throughout
China have altogether changed since the
opening of the French policy of aggression
in Tonquin. Recent reports of reverses of
the French arms have materially damaged
the prestige of all foreigners in China.

Cincinnati Democrats Repudiate the Regu-
lar County Nominations and Place New
Ticket In the Field.
CINCINNATI, Sept. ga convention
called by a committee appointed by a
meeting of Democrats dissatisfied with the
methods of nomination at the county con-
vention held at the Highland house met
this morning at College hall. About eighty
delegates were present. They and tho
spectators were admitted by cards. G. M.
Loltze, chairman of the committee, called
the convention to order. E. W. Kittridge
was elected chairman, and made q brief
address, saying that one of the principal
objects of this movement is to open
a way for all political parties
to prevent fraud and corruption in conven-
tions. Its object is to afford citizens a
voice in the selection of candidates, in
stead of having the whole work done by
fraud and violence. He referred to the
evil effect of political rings in both parties,
and declared that the control of the county
and city officers by a clique or ring,
would bring calamity to all citizens. An
honest ticket nominated here, he said would
he entitled to the support alike of Repub-
licans and Democrats who favor fair con-
ventions and the honest administration of
government.
The committee on resolutions presented
a report which was adopted. 1t endorses
the state platform and ticket and demands
reform in municipal and county govern
ment and reduction of taxes, declares in
favor of honest primary elections, fair
conventions, and in opposition to all boss
rule.
The nominations were made by accla-
nation as follows: Treasurer, Thomas
Herlock; auditor, Joseph Safer; senators,
Joseph G.. Sextro, Theodore Marp, w.
Glenn Taylor.
A delegate nominated one candidate on
the Highland house ticket but the con-
vention took the ground it would be in
consistent to endorse any one of that
ticket.
On the first ballot the following were
nominated for representatives: G, M Loze,
j. G. Below, L. II. Bond, Milo G. Dodds,
