Ships N SUBSIDY.

Lieut.. Kelly of the navy, in his book
entitled s'The Question Of Ships" says
in opposition to the subsidy scheme
which is offered in the interest of home
ship.building:
"But herein lies a fallacy, for while
ship.building is of the navigation inter-
ests, it is not it's rounded summation;
commerce, carrying trade, postal service
and the maintenance of a school for mar
itine defense, being if not superior, at
least not subordinate. The profit OF a
ship in 20 years cargo-carrying is Is
times greater than her first cost, and low
as is our m to-day. more wages
are distributed to sailors in a single week
than all the ship-builders pay their op.
eratives in an entire year; hence it is a
curious study in political economy to
find an illogical conclusion resulting IN
national interests being sacrificed to the
policy of a few ship.builders, and to see
q greater profit for a lesser, because both
cannot be obtained"
This has been the logic on which the
Government has acted for the last q
years. We have few ships because oul
own ship builders cannot build them al
cheap as others can. We would not le
our people buy f~oreign-built ships, be
cause it would injure our own ship-build
ers; and we would remove the tariff OIL
materials used in ship-building, becaus'
that would injure a few of u manufac
turers. Hence we pay hundreds of mil
lions to other peoples to carry our pass
engers, our mails, and what we buy ant
what we sell.

HEARTsICKENING DISASTER.

The news came by telegraph last night
of another of those terrible after-damp
explosions, in which from l25 to $50
miners were frightfully mangled or suffo-
Gated. All in the mines were certainly
killed in one or the other of these horrid
ways. No chance to go to the rescue. All
that can be done is to bring collins to the
ground and be ready to put the unfortu-
nate victims under the ground as soon as
their bodies are recovered and the FORM
Atty of an inquest can be gone through
with. We refrain from reference to the
details Of the awful calamity. The SUBJ
ject is not inviting. The question that
arises in the public mind is, who, if any,
body, is responsible for the lives of the
men? If the explosion was M of those
accidents, and doubtless there are such,
that cannot be foreseen or guarded
against, this fact ought to be shown con-
clusively. If the catastrophe resulted
from carelessness, or from q want of
proper precaution, there is an awful
crime, the murder of over one hundred
helpless laboring men, on somebody's
hands. If there is guilt, those who are
guilty should not escape the gallows.

Although we have less pigs than peo-

fury this Republic doubled its population
every twenty-five years, and Mr.. Griffen,
an eminent English statistician, recently
attempted to excite alarm by predicting
that our growth will continue at the
same rate until the soil will not be able

be equally perplexing to know how to
reduce the animal census, should there
ever be danger of overcrowding, as indi-
Gated by the present rate of increase.

OBITUARY..

The news is that John Booth, proprie-
tor Of the Reece River Reveille, died at
Austin at 7 o'clock last night of paralysis
of the brain, in his Goth year. He was
stricken down towards midnight Friday,
and, though everything possible was
done for his relief, he never recovered
the use of his senses. The deceased was
well known in Nevada as a printer and a
newspaper publisher. We do not re-
member whether he was o native of
England or of this country, but his boy
hood days were spent in the city of New
Orleans. The first paper he published in
Nevada was the Carson Register, which
he bought from Charley Perkin and H.
e. Street. From Carson he removed to
Belmont, where. in company with A.
Maute, he published the Courier for sew
eral years. Thence he removed to Austin,
he remained, we believe, for about
ten years. up to his death. as proprietor
,f the Reveille. The deceased leaves .

Our Limit of Capacity for Pro.
ducfng Beef.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The available area of grazing ter
ritory in the West is rapidly reaching
its limit. In eastern Texas the en-
croachments of agriculture are expell.
ing the herds of cattle which, until
recently, have occupied these limits,
The same is to a considerable extent
true of the States of Nebraska, Kan.
sas, Colorado and the Territories oil
Dakota and Montana, while Califor-
MIA no longer produces as much beet
as is consumed by her people.
The rapid settlement of these Yves
tern States and Territories and the
multiplication Of mining and other
industrial enterprises furnish rap
idly growing home market for the
beef product. The result ofsuch de-
velopment is manifested in the fact
that Montana contributed less than
5000 beef cattle to markets east OF
her boundaries in the year 1883.
Those familiar with the exception
ally depressed values current during
the last year in almost every great
staple of traffic, including railway
securities, cereals, metals mess pork,
and cotton and Wooden fabrics, can
scarcely have failed to note with sur
prise the uniformly strong prices
commanded by beef in every domestic
and foreign market.
Statisticians agree that the popu-
lation of the country is increasing in
more rapid ration than our supply
OF meat cattle, and the fact will not
be overlooked that the increase OF
live stock, for obvious reason, cannot
be forced, as may be done in the case
Of manufactured commodities, the
values Of which are ever at the mercy
Of uncertain and ill-regulated pro-
duction.

The resolution adopted by the
convention at Charleston on the tax
question is an admirable one. We
regard it as the wisest and most time
ly step that could have been taken
by the representative men OF an in
telligent people. 1t showed their
evident intention to do right, and
respect the honest differences Of
opinion among the people'of the State
upon this subject. The trouble arose
about the taxation Of agricultural
productions grown directly from the
soil, young stock and other articles
produced from the mines, salt wells,
furnaces, iron mills ETC., In the
opinion Of the Governor that clause
of our constitution which provides
"that taxation shall be equal and
uniform throughout the State" etc, re-
quired certain action to enforce it.
The convention advised its submission
to the people who in their sovereign ca
pacity shall finally determine whether
it shall be enforced or rejected.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
by the kuprcmeC Court In Regard
TO a Life Insurance.


WASHINGTON, April 14.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States to-
day rendered a decision in the insur-
ance case Of Emile Moular, plaintiff
in error, against the American Life
Insurance Company. In error to
the Circuit Court Of the United States
for the Eastern District Of Pennsyl-
vania. This was suit upon a poll
cy of life insurance, which contained
as part OF the contract the stipula-
tion that ''if representations and an
swers made to the company in an
application for policy should
be found untrue in any respect,
the policy should be null and
void" When the insurance was
obtained the assured was asked,
among other questions, whether he
had ever had the asthma, scrofula, or
consumption. His answer was no.
In the trial of the case in the court
below there was evidence to show
that deceased had had these diseases
in an ihcipient form prior 10 his ap
plication for insurance, but there
was also evidence going to show that
he was was entirely unaware Of it.
The court instructed the jury that
it made no difference whether the
assured was aware of it OF not, If, as
a matter of fact, he had had those
diseases. His answers to the COM
pany, although made honestly and in
good faith, were none the less untrue,
and the company was not bound by
the policy.

The utmost harmony and good
feeling prevailed at the Democratic
State Convention which met at
Charleston last week. Among the
many hundreds Of delegates from all
parts Of the State were none but rep
resentative men. They were unani-
nous in expressing their contempt
at the egotistic braggardism of the
republicans in reference to carrying
this State. They say simply: 1t can't
be done.

1t is significant fact that much
bad feeling exists among the Repub
can leaders in this State. They are
divided into factions and are badly
torn up generally. The Democrats,
on the other hand, are united; are in
harmony on matters of State and
National policy, and go into the fight
with certain victory already inscribed
upon their banners.

where it counts and adds great weight

is true in the following testimonial

Greenfield, Ohio, who say:

Democratic State Convention.
We refer our readers with pleasure
to the proceedings of the Democratic
State Convention held at Charleston
on the 10Th inst, for the purpose of
electing Delegates to the National
Democratic Convention. 1t was the
largest gathering Of the kind, of the
substantial representative men of the
State, which has perhaps ever been
convened in West Virginia. Every
county but two was represented; and
what is more, and most unusual,
every material interest-the farming,
mining, manufacturing, lumbe stock
raising, mercantile and railroad in
terests wre represented by gentlemen
competent to speak for them. The
all absorbing question was: Who
shall lead the people and the party of
the Constitution on to victory in the
Presidential campaign next fall.
This question was responded to by
delegates fresh from the people, full
five hundred strong who voiced the
sentiment of the people as one man,
and proclaimed in favor of Samuel j.
Tilden. Such unanimity of senti-
ment has rarely, if ever heretofore,
been seen. The people all over this
great country recognize his eminent
ability; appreciate his public SER
vices, and admire the incorruptible
honesty of the man. They remember,
too, that he was once elected Presi-
dent of these United States. They
also remember that that great Office
was stolen from him, and that by his
self-sacrificing disposition, he pre-
ferred to see the country spared from
another bloody war, than to assert
his rights to the highest Office on
earth, to which patriotic liberty
loving people had elevated him. Time
at last sets all things even, and so
will it be with Tilden and the Presi-
dency in the approaching campaign.
Justice will be mcted out to him.
Once more he will be elected our
President, and this time, the people
will take care that he will be our
inaugurated President. This feeling
is deep-seated and deep-rooted among
the people. Never again, under the
Haunting folds of our country's flag,
will any man or party be allowed to
steal, take and carry away the Office
of President of these United States.
The resolutions adopted by the
Convention are most admirable and
we commend them one by one to the
people of this State They enunci-
ate great principles that will arouse
the fire and flame of patriotism of
every man who loves his Inheritance
in this Democratic Republican form
of Government.
The gentlemen selected to represent
the State and the several Districts in
the State in the National Convention
are we'll known for their talent, ability
and unwavering Democracy. The
people can rely with confidence that
the trust confided to these gentlemen
is in safe hands and that the State
will be ably, faithfully and honorably
represented.
