FRANKLIN IcEMS.

The REooRDUNGoN's correspondent at
franklin reports the following:
Hans Hsgerman, of Sacramento, was in
Franklin Thursday evening.
Mrs. Edward Frye is very i'll with typhoid
pneumonia
Mrs. George of Franklin, spent last week
in Sacramento, visiting friends
George Crum, from Battle Mountain New,
who mas been visiting the family of Henry
Ehrhardt, of this place, returned home last
Tuesday.
Oar little village once more pursues the
even tenor of its way, after the excitement of
the holidays. The only excitement of the
past week was caused by the runaway of a
team belonging to jim Trainer.
William Frye has been i'll for several days,
but nothing serious is anticipated, we sre
glad to state.
One day last week mighty Nimrod from
the State Of Nevada, who prided himself on
his uDerring aiu, took his gun and went out
10 the field to kill some geese. Stealing
quietly along, he managed to get very near
the uususpecsing fl 5ck: he fred away. and
two Of the flock were slain. Strange to say,
the rest of the flock did not take wing, bus
remained quacking over the dead boGies of
their companions, as il wondering what had
happened 20 them. The hunter was greatly
pleased to see this disposition on the psrt of
the geese, and taking aim, was about to fire
into the flock again, when he was arrested
by the voice Of boy, who came running
from the house toward him crying, "Oh
Mr. -, don't shoot you will kill all of
mamma's nice geese ~ Sure enough, it was
a fl ,ck of geese belonging to the lady of the
house where ne was stopping

greatly unlike that we to-day enjoy.
We are not at all surprised st the re-
ported revival of Nihilism. Why should
it not revive, The Russian Government
has done all possible things in its power to
revivify it. The Gar and his advisers, in
stead Of examining into the demand for
Constitution and for representation, have
responded by increasing the army Of ST.
berian exiles, by adding to the cruel.ies in
political prisons and by Strengthening the
hated Third Section. Under such circum-
stances it is not at all surprising that the
Terrorists should seek to destroy him.
They reason thus: "Our situation cannot
be worse new Gar cannot turn deafer
ear to our petitions. A change may bring
us that which we demand. We will effect
change. Fear is powerful argument
with authoritative will try the effects OF
terrorism again" It is the most natural
thing in the world for the prisoner who
looks out between his bars upon green
fields and fowery meads to seek his liberty,
and it is not surprising that when the op-
portunity offers be should strike down his
jailer. The Russian Nihilist reasons on
precisely that line. With the possibilities
of Russia under such a rule as that of the
people of the United States or the nominal
Queen in England constantly before him,
it is small wonder that he resorts to muir
der to destroy those who, to his fevered
imagination, are the only obstacles to the
emancipation of his people.

Grand Reception 10 The Governor.

SALT LAKE, January II h.-The largest
reception ever given Governor of Utah
occurred at the Walker Opera House this
afternoon by the Gentiles, previous to the
sitting of the Legislature, gotten up for the
purpose of assuring Governor Murray that
the Americans and the law-sbiding portion
of the community are heartily with him in
his endeayOrs to enforce the laws of Utah.
The Governor, responding TO a toast, said
that amidst the most conservative people he
had met in the past few weeks were the Cen
tiles, who were accused by the dominant
church of desiring to rob the Mormons of
their property. He had found the people in
the East far more radical. But one senti.
ment prevailed. and that was that the laws
must be enforced in Utah SO they were in
other States and Territories. He pledged
himself that they should be. The reception
was attended by Republicans and Democrats,
who assured the Governor of their cordial
support. The Legislature meets Tuesday,
and will be the most eyentful in the history
of tie lie .ri.ory,

Tbs REPORT OF TIE TRANSFORM
TON COMMISSIONERS A DEFENSE
BY THE MAJORITY.

The report of the transportation Com.
uissioners has been filed. There is not
much chat is new in it, About all that
has been said and done before or by the
Board has had full publication already.
But the report possesses value, in being a
historical record of proceedings before a
body created by the Constitution, and
which history, we venture to say, will, il.
the not far distant future, come to be re.
garded as one of the curiosities of this era.
Perhaps no Ike Official body, invested
with similar powers, so panoplied with au-
taority and armed with such practically
despoVic prerogatives, has ever had exist
ence. 1t is the representative of about all
that is anti-republican in our form of gov.
eminent, since the ruling power has sur
rendered to it power that rises, in its re.
suits, superior to its own, is not amenable
to the usual processes of review and cor.
rection, and can only be recalled through
the dangerous methods of constitutional
revolution.
Perfect unanimity in such a body may,
after all, not be desirable at all times and
hence, perhaps, it is best for the interests
OF the State that it has not prevailed dur.
ing the past year, since the attrition of the
radical and the conservative elements has
revealed more clearly than ever before the
great power possessed by the body, and
what terrible instrument it may become
for wrong.doiug, and how, under the con-
troll of wisdom. it may become the con.
servatcr OF rights and the doer of exact
Justice.
The history Of the present Board is q re-
markable one, and its report fully discloses
it. 1t is unnecessary to review it. It's
members, being Of one political party,
were subjected to pressure, not to say
persecution, to do the behests of assumed
leaders of the party, regardless of their
official obligations, which no constitutional
body, we venture to say, has before sui
fered. That there was not a total collapse
OF the Commission testlhes to great deal
more OF stamina in the majority than is
manifest by the ordinary official who is
beset by the clamors of his partisan friends.
We doubt if in any State, at any time in
the history Of our country, such con-
scienceless, bold and indefensibls attempt
WAS ever made by the political managing
class TO seize upon the powers of a consti-
tutional organization and direct their ex.
ecution. Even at this early day intelligent
Democrats look back with something akin
to shame upon the boycotting proceedings
and the coercive party measures of last
spring aud summer. The Commission was
literally stretched upon the political rack,
and the party thumb.screws were applied
by selt.appointed inquisitor5, whose de.
mands were limited only by the supposed
need for party advancement in popular
esteem.
It is now seen by the people that the
whole aim of the rabid raid of 1883 upon
!s Railroad Commissioners was, for the
AIN Judgment Of sworn officials based

GRATIFYING.

1t is gratifying to learn from a noun.
tain contemporary that one of the
most prominent of hydraulic mining
companies proposes to abandon the sys-
tenn and begin the drifting" pro.
cess. That method will engage about
double the number of miners. and contrib
ute just that much more to the prosperity
of the community. We are satisfied that
the mining region will yet see its way clear
to mining by unobjectionable methods.
Fewer mines may be worked, but more
men will be employed and the consump.
ton Of supplies augmented.

mission has found in them its best policy

mission has found in them its best policy
and highest duty"
The sheer insanity and folly OF the de-
mand that fresh Commission, practically
ignorant of the magnitude and detail of
the duty imposed upon it, should at once
and arbitrarily decree changes and estab.
blish new schedules of fares and freights,
appears to have been thoroughly impressed
upon the Commission, for in concluding it
remarks, referring to its official orders and
decisions "To the extent that they are
consistent, consecutive and advancing re-
suits of safe, practical and effective modes
OF procedure, they are good beginnings
and presidents for progressive and con.
tinuous work. To this there is practically
no end, and in the long run it is the best
test of the processes by which it is prose-
cuted."
