A BRACE OF DANIELS COME TO
JUDGMENT.

If every county in the State would
elect such brilliant opponents and
learned interpreters of constitutional
law as Esmeralda possesses in her
Auditor and Treasurer, we could soon
manage to dispense with the costly
body known as the Supreme Court.
These two gentlemen, with an aaecta.
ton of wisdom overpowerine to man
possessed of the ordinary amount of
modesty, arrogate to themselves the
power and authority to delare an Act
of their creator, the State Legislature,
unconstitutional.
AT its last session the Legislature
passed an Act removing the county seat
of Esmeralda from Aurora to Haw.

viding for the issuance of bonds to the
amount of $4,000, and constituting
the Chairman of the Board Of County
Commissioners, the County Auditor
and the County Treasurer Board of
Bond Commissioners to prepare and
issue said bonds. The editor of the
BULLETIN has no copy of the bill to
refer to, but it is his impression that
the bonds were to be ready for sale on
the ninth day of April, 1888. How
ever that may he, J. A. Cardwell,

Commissioner Glenn expressed his
willingness to do so, but without the
other two his good sense was of no
use. Upon being asked to give rea

GERS, claiming superiority over their

Now if those bondsmen are wide
awake men they will advise these con-

course in this matter. Their very

A MINING EXPOSITION.


Some of the leading mining men of
San Francisco have taken steps to heay
a Pacific Coast Mineral Exposition in
that city during the coming conclave
of Knights Templar. The Free Press
says that committee having the
arrangements in charge has sent out
an address to the Boards of Supervis-
ors in each county, explaining the OBJ
iects of the Exposition and requesting
that each county or its citizens con-
tribute 800 to go into a county case
fund, to provide neat and uniform
cases, which will bear the names of
the respective counties so contributing
1t is proposed that funds required to
carry out the exposition be raised by
general contributions. The Supervis-
ors are further requested to solicit
specimens, which may be sent by ex.
press free to the State Mining Bureau.
1t also asked that relics, fossils, etc,
be sent, which, if too large to be shown
in cases, will be assigned separate
space.
There can be no doubt as to the ma
terial good that will result from such
an Exposition, and the BULLETIN
hopes to see the idea carried out. If,
as the Free Press says. it is to be a
Pacific Coast Mineral Exposition, it
would be good plan for the com.
mlttee to send their circular to the
Boards of County Commissioners of

dispel the opinion as to the State be.
ing "a deserted mining camp" now so
general in the East as an exhibition of
her wealth at this time, and it is to be
hoped that a little more enthusiasm
can be aroused than at the time of the
late Denver Exposition.
1t is safe to say that the 500, and
more, il needed, can be raised in Es-
meralda without any trouble, and with
the rank she is fast assuming in the
mining world it would be a great pity
to let anything of this nature happen
on the Coast without having her vast
mineral resources represented.
Let the people of our State hear
from the committee in the matter.

HaWthOrne's Genius.

Each character in Hawthorne's small
list is a finished study, at once local in
its surroundings and general in its
psychological elements. 1t is a study
of man in his special environment
more scientific than the science OF to-
day, because it does what science fails
to do; it tries to settle the spiritual ele-
ment in its true place as a factor in
mans life Others have surpassed Haw-
thore In the management OF external
conduct, of dialogue, of home life, of
local scenery; but none have reached
the depth to which he penetrated in the
study of the human heart as the crea-
ture Of his own creation. In every
higher qualification of the artist, he
easily excels. His style is mastery in
ease, grace, clearness-the winning alb
sorbing, enhancing quality. His skill
in limiting in ideal and spiritual ele-
ments is the most perfect in our day.
His mastery of light and shade-the
power of deepening gloom by sunshine
and intensifying sunshine by means of
darkness-is of the finest order, at once
the gift of original PERCEPTION and the
result Of most assiduous practice. Prob
ably few writers ever made so many
successes that were failures, or 80 many
failures that were successes; that is,
few ever did so much that was to others
artisticslly perfect in order that they
might do something artistically perfect
to themselves. Mr.. James marvels at
the existence of the Mote Books" yet
their publication has thrown food of
light not only upon the workings of
Hawthorne's mind but on the sources
of his artistic effects. They supple
ment with sunny eternal quality the
gloom of his psychology. They show
us in his own nature capacity for
beauty and sweetness, where his own
generation saw only capacity for NOR
bid analysis; that is, they furnish the
biography of the sympathetic side of
his mind, while the novels represent
what was equally real to his emotional
nature No doubt, while his actual life
was simple and pure-minded, capable
of absorbing beauty and interest, he
had, in imagination, lived through the
fortunes of the damned.
We had never reached such insight,
or such grace of style, before Haw-
thorne, and we have never reached it

One Of Americas Meanest.

Yesterday morning early colOred
woman named Stubbs breathed her last
in the old Cooper House, near the Macon
& Brunswick depot. Her brother,
George Stubs, worn out from sitting
up all night for several nights with his
suffering sister, gave colOred friend
named York Radford four dollars to go
down town and get a coffin. York pro-
ceeded on his way down town, but on
passing a store on Fourth street his eyes
lit upon pair of boots that suited him
exactly. He wrestled with his con-
science a little while, and gave the mer-
chant two dollars and fifty cents and put
on the boots.
He then presented himself before
Clerk Smith, of the County Commits
sioners, and laid before that official a
panorama of poverty that was absolute
~ appalling. He painted the destitute
condition of the Stubs family in tears
and sorrow, and so worked upon Clerk
Smiths feelings that he gave him an or
der for pauper coffin on r. r. Wilder's
Sons. York spent the remainder of the
money in dissipation.
About eleven o'clock George began to
grow uneasy about his SISTERS coffin. He
came down town to see if York had
been run over by the cars. He found his
man taking things coolly. George asked
about the purchase, and York said it
was al right. He asked George to wait
q minute while he spoke to a man down
the alley. George would have waited
until now had not a suspicion flashed
across his mind. He got Officers Nc
Cafferty and Golden on the track, and
soon they had York in the lookup. He
told the officers that the corpse was
''fresh died'' and could wait until he
could get the coffin there.-Mac0aa (Ga.)

Effect Of whisky on Various Minds.

It is very interestingtO the philo:ophi-

works upon the minds of men in differ

makes men see negroes in the act of
breaking out in slaughter of the whites :;
in the West it inspires visions of strange
birds, beasts and reptiles, and elsewhere
it works in other ways. A South Aus
