Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1884-12-20

A Washington dispatch Of De-
cember 9th says that Senator John
p. Jones of Neyeda some time ago
stopped paying $11,O a year for
the Butler stone mansion on New
Jersey Avenne, opposite the Capt.
tol. The bonanza statesman lived
there during several session on a
scale of magnificence which looked
upon from the outside seemed re-
gal. When President Arthur was
waiting for the Executive Mansion
to be put to rights after the death
Of Garfield he was the guest of
Senator Jones. Many distinguished
visitors have been entertained
there. The Senator relinquished
his rental there some time ago, but
it was not until the past week that
steps were taken to put the man
sion in readiness for its next occu-
pant.

I'm STRONG HANDS. ,,

The Post continues its bullinl
articles on the Comstock, ano
seems straining every nerve to in
duce people to continue paying
their assessments. 1t says:
THE shares of the middle mines
which now constitute the only fea-
lures in Comstock speculation, had
a firmer tone this morning, and
most Of them sold at higher prices.
These stocks are apparently CEN
tered in strong hands. The official
news from the mines this morning
was more important than for sew
eral days, and this is what gave the
market its firmer tone"
The strong handed holders have
always constituted the main draw
back on the stock market. Most
Of the weak handed outsiders have
drifted away FROM the speculations
Of the mining-share market, and
now a few men have hogged the
control. They hold the bulk Of
the stocks but if the editor of the
Post thinks that they are holding
with strong hand let him author
lie some responsible broker to go
into the board and offer a ten-cent
advance on thousand shares and
see how quickly he will hear the
simultaneous shout of 9 Sold
come at him from all quarters of
the room.
The managers have now an eie-
plant on their hands, which they
would like to dispose of it for the
price of the hide. The old game
Of unloading on the public just in
time to saddle them with the as
sessments does not seem to meet
with the same enthusiastic recep-
ton as it used to, and the time is
at hand when the big manipulators
who hold blocks Of stock are
obliged to stay by their property
through the assessment period, as
well as the dividend epoch.
The fact Of the matter is that
the majority Of spectators are
getting little sense knocked into
them through continued losses and
are letting stock alone
The only thing now keeping up
the Comstock are the great inter-
ests at stake.
The expensive machinery put
into the mines, keeps several man
ufacteries going. Thousands of
families are dependent upon the
collection Of the assessments, and
several newspapers live by the pub
LEGATION Of delinquent assessment
sales. 1t is to the interest Of the |
insiders to hang on to the ledge as
long as there is anything in sight,
Or as long as they can make the |
public think there is. Under the |
present system, by which mining |
is conducted, on the Comstock |
there is no chance for small share
holders to inspect their own prop
erty. This has more than any
thing helped to kill the confidence
the people had in the business
Fancy the stockholders Of boot
and shoe mandatory in San Fran
cisco being denied admittance to
The works and never allowed to in
spect the books. No stakeholder
would stand such bare-faced i'm
position and no court would sus-
ain such an outrage.
Yet while everyone admits that
mining is the chief industry of
his State, the men sent to the
legislature to make laws for Ne +
ada ignore the greatest need the
people suffer under, and that is the
iced of a law which gives the
mall holders Of mining shares a
nance to ascertain how their
is being managed.

and the multitude soon learned that grave

had assembled TO witness tho burial of man

monstrance, and nothing was said by the
subject to arouse any special feeling of ami

that sixty years was the limit and that his
time had come, and he allowed himself to be
put in the excavation without kick. The
earth was shoveled over him in few mo-
ments and the procession and ceremonies at
once came to an end
The scene being new to our reporter, he
was somewhat excited, and failed to see tho
whole performance. Subsequently he learned
that not only was Mr.. Randall thus disposed
of, but that Mr.. Coz, of New York, and Mr..
Eaton, of Connecticut, were put quietly
away at tho same time by the same parties,
and the gentlemen with the tape line and

departed, and have since been seen daily
strutting tho streets of Washington in their
old clothes, which are chiefly misiits and do
not look well on such young and gay people.
There have been rumors that on the eighth
Of January the feast will take place in tho
city Of Philadelphia, the old camping ground
of tho principal departed, when the eldest
political son will appear in his sires breeches
and endeavor to explain how much he resem-
bles his daddy and how lucky for oil the rel
atives it must be to have tho garments
exhibited on so graceful form. The spirit
of tho buried man has been invited to be
present, and should 1t have stronth to mate
ralize for the occasion will be there
without doubt. The turkey will DO
substituted for baked missionary, thus
departing from tho South Sea custom
in that respect to conform to the wishes of the
heir, who has some fear that n too sudden
and radical change might ndanger his own
hold upon the fee simple, which he for tho
time so we'll enjoys. All that is expected of
Mr.. Randall is to say that he acquiosccs in
the arrangements. After tho feast the
mourners will go ahout the streets and no
more will be said in the family concerning
the affair until the time comes for the next
man to stand for measurement.

A Custom Extending.

When the distinguished sailor and author,
Herman Melville, first went among the
islanders of the South Pacific he found pre-
yailing there a custom that. so far as is
known, no other people in the world seemed
to have adopted, and one which Mr.. Melville
for some reason or other, perhaps personal, or
possibly from prejudice, was not disposed to
commend in very high terms His atten-
ton vas called to it by the entire absence of
elderly people on the island, and fearing
the climate was unfavorable to longevity, and
having no means Of getting away from it to a
moro favorable region, he set IN an immediate
investigation, which resulted in the informa-
ton from the most ancient times the natives
had decreed that no man nor woman was en-
titled to more than three score years of
earthly existence, and had named the six
tieth birthday as the day of burial for all the
race whose vitality enabled them to reach
that limit. When the fatal day arrived the
the elder sons went out to o field in sight of
the old house, and with filial and reverent.
devotion to duty dug n grave of suitable di-
mansions, fitting it to the stature of the par
ent who was about to be inundated and
returning to tho house procession was
formed of the relatives and such neighbors
as were sufficiently interested in the coming
ceremony, the old gentleman placed at the
head, with the eldest boy by his side.
solemn and measured tread conveyed him to
the spot, and with uncovered heads he was
placed in the ground, the earth shoveled in
upon him by tho next Of kin, and then the
cortage dissolved and each member of it de-
parted to his home, not doubling that tho
patriarch would be able to draw his last
breath without further assistance from his
loved ones and their hospitable allies and go
at once to the elysium Of departed souls,
Tho gravity of such an occasion is supreme,
and in a few days after the event tho people
assemble at feast prepared by the successors
to the deceased mans estate, supplied with
roast missionary and the usual delicacies,
when toasts arc drank, speeches arc made,
and there is a good time generally; and the
whole thing is pronounced by the reporters
grand success. This captivating custom, We
are happy to inform our readers, has lately
been introduced into this country by the
democratic party. One day early in Deem
Der number of active youthful gentlemen
were seen in Washington making inquiry
for the residence OF venerable citizen of
Pennsylvania named Randall, aud each
having. in hand q tapO measure of
about six feet in length. Mr., r.

submitted to tho taking of his measure by tho
parties without murmur, Notwithstanding

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1884-01-02

That tho grant Of fourteen million acres of
land to the Texas Pacific railroad should be
by law declared forfeited is as certain as that
tho road has never been built That the
company which lost tho grant because Of It's
failure to fulfill its conditions by building
the road. could not give tho forfeited land to
its rival, the Southern Pacific company, is as
certain as that man cannot dispose of the
property of another without that others
consent.
Tho Texas Pacific company sought con.
gressional aid in 1876 and was driven from
the field by tho positive assurances of G. z.
Huntington that the Southern Pacific com.
pany was building and would build the
southern road without aid. The letters of
Mr.. Huntington recently published show
that he and his associates Of the Central
Pacific company wore the ownors of the
Southern Pacific railroad, using the names of
dummies to conceal tho fact. He declared in
his correspondence that it would ruin all
before congress If this truth was generally
known. He said he could defeat tho Texas
Pacific and prevent thereby any competition
with the Central Pacific, IL he could convince
congress of two things-frst, that the South
ern Pacific was n competing road with the
Central Pacific instead of being built and
owned by tho same men, and second, that it
would be completed without aid, IL only con-
grcss would refuse aid to the Texas Pacific. Mr..
Huntington prevailed, and tho Texas Pacific
went into other hands. The Southern Pacific
pushed on, secured Il charter through Arizona,
treated tho Texas Pacific land grant as for
fcitcd by building on its line, and then UNI
dertoolt to take out letters of administration
on the forfeited estate of the rival IL had first
caused TO lose its rights Itappearod then as
the heir of the company it had destroyed,
and the successor TO the title IL had caused
interior has not been moved by the ingenious
sophistries Of Mr.. Huntington's attorneys,
nor has the department of justice given him
any comfort. The last congress stamped out
bill which had concealed within It, under
tho guise of consolidating certain roads, n
clause intended to galvanize into life the
dead land-grant to the Texas Pacific 1t
is not probable that any open attempt
will be made at the present session to give
away 1i,0O00OO acres of land to the Pacific
coast monopoly, whose assets now exceed in
amount one-half the assessed valuation of all
the property in the state OF California. Tho
danger is that some cunning phrase may be
struggled into bill of seeming unimportance,
the legal effect of which would be to waive
the governments right to this unearned and
forfeitable laud grant. If any legislation is
necessary to perfect the governments title to
its own lands, let it be resorted to. This will
be done unless congress is controlled by i'm
proper influences. The country will DO on
the lookout to see whether the people or the
railroad companies are represented by tine
representatives chosen in 1882 under such
large promises Of reform.

IE democratic party had majority in

Y have it again. The railroad lobby held
I'm tightly during the six years they held
20 house, except when republican senate
,nt them the Thurman- Edmunds bill in 1873
hen the dam gave way, and the lobby was
washed out. 1t will DO interesting now to
the farmers and merchants of the country to
see whether the present democratic house
represents the people or the railroads. If
that body votes to restore forfeited land
grants to the public domain and votes for u
bill to prohibit discrimination by railway
companies then the senate will mako the
republican party responsible for what is
done in that body, If tho house docs
not propose these things then the country
will know that the railroad companies cOp-
troll the democratic party.
