The strike among the coal miners of
Colorado, commenced some time ago in
a small way, is becoming general. Now
reports swell the number of strikers to
5000, causing q suspension of opera

apprehension is felt. Delegates repre-
senting the miners Of twenty.nine OF the
leading mines are holding meeting at
Denver. A statement of their grievances
and demands, which are varied, will be
presented to the mine ownors to-day,

will be amicably adjusted, and work re.

THE STANDARD DOLLAR.

The Chicago Current, which is not a
political paper, ia, ors silver and points
out the absurdity of permitting the New
York Clearing House to dictate to the
Government the terms on which the
silver dollar shall be received by the mon
eyed institutions of the east. 1t argues
that the idea of permitting banking in
stitution, in time of peace, to compel
the Government of the United States
to discriminate against its own legal
tender, to except cotorie of fnanciers
from the laws which are good enough
for the people At large, is monstrous.
What right has Wall Street to domin-
ate the Secretary Of the Treasury? Has
Wall Street done anything this year
which has entitled it to either the graft
tude or respect of the country! Not
anything. Then give them silver or
call the account squared after the tender
and refusal of silver. The way the
silver law is deied in New York is
criminal. John Sherman first consent
ed to the arrangement and no Secretary
of the Treasury since his time has had
the courage or rectitude to abolish the
the practice which he countenanced, and
execute the will of the people.
The Current voices the sentiment of
the people of the Mississippi Valley,
which is in accord with that of the Pa
cific Coast, on the silver question.
There is no law to sustain the Admins.
tration in discriminating against the
great product of Nevada, and its course
is unjust to the State. Standard dol
lars are by law legal tender, yet the
Government, to please the Wall Street
sharks, boards them in the Treasury,
instead OF paying per centage of its
expenses with them. Silver for change
is scarce in every community, from the
smallest mining village to the largest
cities, even in the silver producing
States, because the financial policy of
the Government is controlled by East.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

The Republican platform in this coun-
ty pledges the Legislative candidates to
do all in their power to effect the con-
solidation OF Douglas, 0rmsby and Storey
counties. This plank is said to have
been inserted at the instance OF the
Ring, which voices the ideas of the
local road. and is neither approved nor
desired by the people, and law-abiding
citizens say that hanging would be
mild punishment for any member who
would vote for bill to accomplish any
such result. The men who are ex-
pected to carry out this part OF the
programme are Evan Williams, who
has no interest in the county, and is
only a resident constructively; Alfred
Helm, always an Office seeker; r. N.
Folsom, Of the firm of Marlett & Fol.
som, and George A. Tyrrell, a clever
little fellow. Why these men, or the
party which nominated them, should dc
sire to make Carson. the Capital of the
State, tail to the Virginia City kite
can only be accounted for upon the by.
pothesis that the Virginia l. Iruckee
Railroad Company has ordered it done.

POLITICAL MEETINGS.
Daggett. from Spreckles Sugar Plan
tation, who receives salary of 81, 500
a year from the people of the United
States, is earning his money according
to his idea of civil service reform, by
leaving his post and coming here to
stump the State for the Republicans.
Page who was repudiated by the honest
Republicans of his district in California,
has come over to teach the people Of
Nevada their duty. Cassidy spoke
here for the interest OF his party and
treated of matters of general interest to
the people, as if he was addressing
reasonable beings. Colonel Ellis also
made speech for the Democratic
cause, and made an able argument for
honesty and good government, and ex-
planned the issues involved in the cam
paign, while General r. M. Clark, who
is conceded to be one OF the most inde-
pendent pnblic men in the State, has
made telling speech. Besides these,
the Pap Eating" club has had MIR.
Bartine take a great deal of pains to
disgust an audience. This is the same
III. F. Bartine who was candidate two
years ago on the Fusion or Independent
ticket for District Attorney, and who
then showed the evils of the rule, which
he is now attempting to perpetuate.
He should confine himself to local af-
fairs as National matters are beyond
the comprehension of man whose hat
is so small and eyes so close together.
The latest in the stumping line was last
evening, when Mr.. Woodburn, the
lightweight candidate for Congressman
and Prof. Lindsey, whose antics resem.
bled those of the end-man of a minstrel
troup, addressed the Plumed Knights.
Mr.. Woodburn's voice failed him but
Mr.. Lindsey in stentorian tones pre-
claimed that if his party could not carry
the election peaceably they would do it
by force. Such remarks come with bad
grace from a man, who am informed,
was like Mr.. WOODBURY., a loud talking
secessionist, during the late war. Isn't
it rather rushing the buck" for two
such worthless as those to assume to
teach you and l, Mr.. Editor. who stood
