TRE u OF IT.
The Denver Tribune exalts itself te
when il saws:

The Denver Tribune exalts itself toe
much when it says:
The truth is that there is more enter
prise and as much ability in Western
Journalism as there is in that of the East.
Western journalists do five times as much
work, overcome obstacles in getting news
that would appall an Eastern newspaper
man, and altogether have better ideas OF
what news is than the journalists of the
Atlantic seaboard have. The West leads
in everything, and its newspapers are
one of it's strongest forces.
This must be set down as a little loud,
when it is considered that the article
from which the extract is taken contains
a paragraph in which the Tribune gives
itself q strong puff. Boosting proves
nothing. The naked fact is that there
are at least a dozen newspapers published
in the East with no one of which any
Pacific Coast paper can be compared,
either on the ground of enterprise OF
ability.

. RLOCKHEAD.

We prefer to lay it to stupidity rather
than to knavery. A man in Sacramento
left what he supposed to be a Photographic
will, which the Supreme Court de-
clares to be no will at all. Deceased had
seemingly complied with every provision
of the statute; but those who desired tc
defeat the instrument found a slight
technicality in the date of it, and have
succeeded, no doubt, in defeating the
wishes of the testator. It seems that he
had written upon a letter-head, on which
the locality and part of the date were
printed, and filed in what was required
to complete the date. The Court holds
that the provisions Of the statute have
not been complied with, because every
word Of the will is not in testator's own
handwriting.

TRACE UP the RAsCALs.

A year ago Senator Dennis Oh Elko,
with the consent and approval OF the
Committee on Insane Asylum Affairs, OF
which he was a member, introduced q
resolution approving the management OF
the Insane Asylum by the Board OF Com
m~issioners and the superintendent. The
resolution, which was a concurrent one,
passed both branches of the Legislature,
and, according to custom, ought to nav
been printed with similar resolutions IN
the statutes of 1883. Notwithstanding
the discussions growing out OF the re-
moyal of the Superintendent, DIR. Daw-
son, shortly after the Legislature, which
30 highly Endorsed his management OF
the ASYLUM, adjourned, the fact that the
resolution was omitted from the statutes
was not discovered until quite recently.
when the Reno Gazette called attention
to the matter. 1t is alleged that the
omission was intentional, that the resolu-
ton was purposely suppressed, and that
the Secretary of State was cognizant OF
that fact. These ~insinuations may not
be we'll founded, but whether they
are or not, that officer owe it to HIM
self and the public to show that he is
wrongfully suspected. He, by virtue
Of his office, has full charge Of the reso-
buttons adopted and laws enacted by the
Legislature after that body adjourns, and
it is his duty to see that r~ascally attaches
of the Legislature cannot, at the instance
Of interested parties, suppress what they
do not desire to see published. This
matter should be thoroughly investigat-
ed, and the ~rascals traced up, if possible,
and severely punished, as a crime has
been committed that ought to be con-
demned. Silver State.
We have read a volume on this subject
in the Carson and Reno papers, but it
seems no clearer now than at the outset
as to who is to blame for the omission OF
the resolution from the journal or stat.
utes. We do not believe that the par
ticular matter in question is OF grave i'm
portance, but the animus OF the fraud Is
highly criminal and the person response.
BILE for it ought to be shown up. We are
not disposed to censure Mr.. Dormer who
states that he handed over the enrolled
bills to the State Printer just as he re-
ceived them from their lawful custodian.

A Shocking Outrage.

Much feeling has been excited in this
community by an event of most extraordi-
nary character. In the well-known GEM
etery lot of the Stanwood family an infant
son of Mr.. and Mrs Blaine lies buried
adjacent to the graves of Mrs. Blaine 5
father and mother The child died in
1854, thirty years ago. last month, and Its
resting place is marked BY beautiful
memorial in marble erected in 1856. On
the memorial. the date Of the birth and
the death were plainly inscribed in raised
letters. Somewhat more than two weeks
ago it was discovered that the date of the
child's birth had been carefully chiselled
away. Il was evidently found out within
twenty-fOur hours after it was done. The
lot being one Of the most conspicuous in
the cemetery and bordering on one of the
principal avenues a change Of the slightest
character would Immediately arrest obser-
vation. An intimate friend Of Mr. Blaine's
family at once placed detective on the
track of the indecent and infamous per-
petra,or Of the deed He has not vet been
discovered. but it is believed that clue
has been found in he fact that directly
after the mutilaton OF the memorial
photograph was taken Of it under the d.
rection of a democrat whose name Is
known, and copies of it sent to the news
papers in various parts Of the coun-
try engaged in traducing Mr.
Blaine The motive for this act
OF vandalism is scarcely apparent.
Nothing is suppressed by doing it, for the
date has been read by thousands, is prop
ery recorded, and is perfectly well-known
to a wide family and social circle in
Augusta. Any false story therefore as to
the figures that were erased would be
promptly and definitely corrected. Re
spectacle democrats of this city join in the
general Indignation which the ghoulish
and sacrilegious act has called forth. The
outrage is of course infinitely painful to
all the members of Mr. Blaine's family.

Scandal i'm the Campaign.

The reports which have gone broadcast
over the country about the immoral prac-
tees Of Gov. Cleveland had their origin
in democratic papers previous to Cleve-
lands nomination. The managers of those
papers knew his character, were opposed
to his nomination on that account, and
published the facts in order to defeat him
at the convention. Republican papers
have done the same as democratic papers
first did. Private individuals, men who
were shocked at the idea of supporting
such an immoral man as they knew Cleve-
land to be, most of whom are ministers of
the gospel IN the city of Buffalo, gave
Information to inquiring friends, and
thus the scandal spread until it be-
came generally known. 1t is wrong
to accuse republican papers OF be-
ing the authors of the scandal. 1t was
known long before any republican paper
gave it circulation, and but few repub-
lican papers have to this day spread
the whole disgusting particulars of Cleve-
lands Righteousness before their readers.
Considering that the charges in the main
are true. aud admitted to he true. in every
attempted defence made of Cleveland re-
publican papers have been very torbear-
inc towards the candidate of the other
party.
/ Now look upon the other side. A story
of scandal has been published against Mr..
/ Blaine. 1t started in western State.
/ There is not a word of truth in it. 1t is
falsehood from beginning to end, But
every democratic paper hastenS to publish
| all that it dares OF the scandal, while at the
same time pretending to deprecate the
publication. We find an article in the
/ ArguS copied from the Boston Post, in
which every base recital of the original
article is published, and then it hypocritic-
ally protests that any paper which would
print such stutfis an enemy to good morals
GOV. Cleveland they say protested against
publishing the article on Blaine, and why
does not Blaine, they ask, do the same by
Cleveland? Mr.. Cleveland has the same re-
source forprotection of his character gains
ljbelouS and Scandalous assaults that Mr.
Blaine has. Mr. Blaine has commenced {
suit against one of the papers which hs,
slandercd him. He will prosecute it il
the courts, and appear publicly to defenC
himself aud family from the charges made
against him. Why does not Cleveland dc
likewise? Because in his case the charge,
are true and can be proved. while in the
case of Mr.. Blaine they are lies. Having
no defence for Cleveland. the democrat:
have sought to help him by this counter
charge against Blaine. but the scheme vii
be apt to work in different manner from
what they anticipated.
