A Possible Candidate.

1t comes TO us that there is a strong
drift among the Democrats Of Nevada to
invite Judge Sewell of Dayton to accept
the nomination on their ticket for Su-
preme Judge in the coming Fall cam
paign. No man could be more acceptable
than he. He is known by everybody in
Western Nevada, and is looked upon with
the profoundest respect. He is a man
whom anybody of either party might vote
for without hesitation. He was District
Judge of Lyon and Esmeralda counties for
three terms, we believe. He was elected
each time on the regular Democratic ticket
in that District, which, on a strict party
vote, was always largely Republican, and
his majority was every time large and
most decided. He was defeated for the
same Office at the last election by ex-
Attorney General Murphy, a fair
man, but who is in no way compar-
able with Sewell, and who, without the
powerful influence and special work of
Supt. Yerington, of the V. q t. Railroad,
would have been beaten as easily and as
decidedly as were the preceding antagonists
who crossed swords with Sewell for a Judi
cial position among his neighbors who
knew the kind of stuff he was made of.
Sewell is a bright lawyer, and in dispatch
ing business quickly and equitably is
classed by the bar of the State along with
Judge Rising of Storey. The only fear we
have is that Sewell, who avoids politics
and never runs after Office, may decline to
be a candidate for the Supreme Judgeship.
II he runs, we confidently believe he will
poll a bigger vote, irrespective Of party,
thar any man whom our Republican
friends can put in the field against him.

THE vEIs. OWED.
A MateriaIized spirit Seized in the

A pamphlet entitled "Observstion on
Spiritualism," by the Arcbduke John, has
just appeared in Vienna. The Arch
duke, who was mainly instrumental
in unmasking Bastian, says that this
modern superstiotin numbers millions
OF adherents, including many in his
W country, and is cherished not only
in the huts Of p~easants, but even in the
palaces OF the great. He gives a most in
teresting account OF his own spiritualistic
experiences. Baron Hellenbach, one of
the most ardent enthusiasts among the
s~piritualists, had recommended Bastian
to his Imperial Highness. The story OF
the u%nmasking of Bastian is then related
in an amusing fashion. To a question OF
the Crown Prince what he thought of the
affair, he replied that he thought it an i'm
posture. 81 never doubted that" vas the
Crown Princes reply; 'but that is not
enough-it must be proved to be an i'm
posture, as 80 many people believe in it."
Then a scheme for unmasking Bastian was
devised. The Archduke represented to the
Crown Prince that the chief thing was to
lull the performer into security, and thus
to make him act with less caution; and he
afterward thought of the plan of suddenly
looking the door behind the medium and
apparitions. A locksmith made the neces-
sary mechanism, and the ghost was cap
tured, m

A great many children in Eureka are
sick. The Misunderstanding slush of the

school very perceptibly; while several lit

pneumonia. Still, who does not know
that children prefer to walk in the mud,
and that it is impossible to make them keep
their overshoes on?
The constant kneading Of the mud on
our street crossings, with the help Of the
sun, has brought the sticky stuff to such
consistency that it sucks off overshoes
without seeming to try. This energy of
the vicious soil has made sad havoc, dur
ing the last 48 hours, with several humans
who, we never thought before, could
swear 30 hard.

RenO's Political Seer.

The Silver State, referring to the
%"slstes" that Gen. Powning has been pub
fishing, and especially to the ticket he has
put forward for the Democracy Of Nevada,
says:
The Democrats should at once appeal to
Gen. Powning to make q choice for them
where more than one candidate is pre-
sented for a nomination, and also have the
two others" apply to him at once to com
plete the electoral ticket, and thus save
themselves the trouble and expense OF
holding a State Convention. He would,

THE n. 4 O.. DECISION.
Judge Sabin's Holding caves the
Creditors i'm n Had FIX.

~ ~ 80
Judge Sabin has finally rendered his do
cision in the case Of Moran Brothers vs..
Thomas Moore ct al, SO long pending in
the United States District Court. The
Reno Gazette says of it,: His decision
leaves all other bondholders, other than
Moran, out in the cold, and the men who
have done the work, spent large sums of
money and furnished large quantities of
material, and in good faith, too, are left
without any protection whatever. The
Court held that the contract between
Moore and the company was subslsting
and binding, wherein it was agreed be-
tween Moore and the company that not
to exceed $40, 900 per mile On the first 81
miles of road from Reno northward to
Beckworth Pass should be issued in bonds
upon the road; that that contract was sub
sequently ratified by other contracts,
wherein it was stated that bonds should
not issue in excess of SIC, 600 per mile,
and that that contract being in full force
no issue Of bonds in excess Of $4,000 per
mile was binding or valid; that the issue
OF bonds in excess of the $4,000 was
fraudulent or void, as against Moran, and
that the bonds of the company issued in
excess of $40, 900 could not be allowed to
participate in the fund arising from the
sale Of the 81 miles.

Nasty for Women.

They appear to be getting a little sick Of
having women to the front as voters,
jurors and all that sort of thing up in
Washington Territory. Judging from
what we see in some of the papers in that
Territory, says Dan De guile, it is pretty
tough for ladies who are on juries in the
Justice Courts. They are obliged to hear
things that make them hide their heads.
No wonder that those who are able pay
fines rather than serve and be dragged into
all sorts of roughs and toughs, to whom
the facts of all these things being said
before decent women adds a spice and jest
not heretofore experienced.

The California Legislature.


How long the special session Of the Cal
ifornia Legislature will last cannot be fore
told. 1t may end in 80 days, but it is
more likely to run for three months.
What it will do is also very uncertain. Its
course is being watched with great interest
by the people and by the politicians,
Among the latter there Is no end of in
trigue. The action of the Lawmakers now
assembled at Sacramento may have a very
marked influence on the State and Presi-
Dental election this Fall. AS the Senate
and Assembly are governed by the Demo
Gratis, who are in considerable majority in
both. they will be held responsible fol-
whatever action is taken. The Republicans
are occupied in efforts to make capital by
combining their small strength with any
faction of the Democrats that is likely to
split the majority party and cause it to
make a fizzle of proposed legislation or to
pass extreme anti-railroad bills. The
Legislature is in danger of coming
short of what is demanded by a majority
of Californians, or Of going beyond what
conservative citizens require in railroad
legislation which is the dangerous kernel
of the work. The Democrats in the Sen

ing of the session, the friends of the rail
road going off by themselves to one side

are now understood to be united on the
wholesome and conservative plan of treat
ing railroad property and business just al

1t is predicted that in the Assembly the
same harmony of purpose will be attained
Judge Wallace has surprised everybody by
his independent behavior, and his course
is a very significant straw, showing that
the Democrats are not likely to fall into
any trap set to catch them.
