column advanced to certain victory.
-s-
The Independents OF Pennsylva-
MIA have issued an address to their
brethren in New York and else
where, upon the Presidential ques-
ton, in which il is claimed that the
nomination of Nh. Blaine is the tri-
umph of the principles for which the
Independents did battle in 1880 and
gave vital force to their movements
in subsequent elections. That to op-
pose Blaine's election would seem to
be an attack upon the result of in
dependent work. That such oppo-
sition would be difficult to defend,
since ii involves the proposition of
surrendering the control OF the
country to the Democratic party.
That if il should be once established
that man ought not be elected to
the Presidency because accusations
have been brought against him, the
ablest men would always be exelud-
ed. And finally, that they see no
reason to strike at so able and dis
tinguished Republican Mr.. Blaine)
and perceive no merit in hurrying
into an alliance which includes the
most corrupt elements in Am erican
politics, or to form league with
men who were always opposed to
the measures which we held to be of
the most importance.
To this address is appended the
names of most of the Independent
kickers of 1882, among them being
that of our own William Henry
Koontz, and "me too" Mckinley.
There is nothing new under the
sun, although "de sun do move,
and this address simply urges upon
the Independents of New York, vir-
tually the same arguments that were
used Ipon these Pennsylvania kick
ers in 1882. Substitute Beaver for
Blaine and the reasoning was as APP
plicable and conclusive then as now;
and how or why, William Henry
and his friends expect to influence
George William and his adherents,
by arguments which they them
selves rejected in 1882, is as incom-
prehensible to the common mind as
is the theory why "de sun do move"
to the uncultured intellect of brother
Jasper.
There are two things that are
made tolerably clear by this ad.
dress. One is, that Pennsylvania
Independents are stoutly opposed
to the machine" and the rule oi
the majority except only, when they
have hold of the crank; and the
other is, that having again crept
back into the Republican bed, they
are opposed to having the covers
kicked off and their nakedness ex-
posed by their brethren in New
York. The philosophy Of the In,
dependent leader in this county
and presumably that of his col
leagi es in this State-hereby com.
mended to the New York brethren
was garnered from that encyclo.
pedia OF useful knowledge, Mother
Goose's Melodies which records

There was a man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise,
He jumped into briar bush,
And scratched out both his eyes.
And when he saw his eyes were out,
With all his might and main,
He jumped into another bush,
And scratched them in again.

STATE LAND SALES.

The number of acres selected in
the u. S. Land Offices at Carson
and Eureka, by the State Of Ne
vada, under its Two Million Grant,
from July LIST, 1888 to July LIST,
1884, was 8O,2s6 50, and during the
same period the State sold II, 2@' 4S
acres that had been previously for
feited, making a total 97,495 o.
acres. The State patented 38,755 06
acres of the amount selected. The
total amount Of land approved to
the State on the Two Mi lion Grant
up to July l, 1883, amounts to 1867
694 30 acres. Add to this the 80
256 SO acres selected but not ap-
proved, gives to us total OF land
sold Of 275. $50 80 acres.

FREEZE.OUT.

Freeze-out is a game that any
amount of people can play at. The
particular requisite for playing the
game is experience, and another
good qualification is ability to stand
a good cinching without squawking.
The man who enters into game OF
freeze-out should carefully count
the cost of the playing, which
sometimes foots up high. Unless
he is better player then the other
men at the table, he should not
come in. Our advice is, learn the
deal young, watch your cards, and,
above all things, don't squeal when
you get beaten at your own game.
There is no law compelling a man
to play freeze-out if he don't
want to.

WELLS FOR IRRIGATION.

The Central Pacific Railroad,
says the Bulletin, will soon begin
to bore for water on its lands in
Nevada, with the intention Of dem
onstrating, if possible, the POSSIBLE
ity of obtaining sufficient supply
for irrigation and grazing purposes.
One well will be sunk near Wads-
worth. There are a great many
flowing wells in the vicinity of Bat
tie Mountain, and one of them, $50
feet deep, flows II feet from the
surface and produces $1,000 gallons
per day. With such wells on cat
tie ranges, such land will be made
much more valuable, and much
larger numbers Of stock can be
maintained.

OLD BEN.

It seems almost impossible to
shelve old Ben Butler. His head
is always above water, and he makes
more commotion in the political
puddle than any body. The lead
ers of the Anti Monopoly and
Greenback parties and Democrats
who are dissatisfied with the nomi-
nation of Cleveland are preparing
to start a new boom for Butler
which will, they predict, result in
the organization of a new party OF
such magnitude as to place Butler
in the White House next Spring.
The project was adopted as soon as
it became evident that it would be
useless to present Buffers name
to the Democratic Convention, but
was hidden from sight. c. c. Post,
editor Of the Chicago Express,
writes that while in Chicago he was
visited by a committee, and said:
"Tell them to organize at once and
prepare for a conflict. They can
trust me-" Post also writes: Tel
egrams and letters are pouring IN
on us from every quarter, saying
the Democrats are disguised, hui
inflated and ready to join the Anti
monopoly forces" S. F. Morton,
another prominent Western Green
hacker, writes: 1--WE had a confer
ence with one of Buffers advisers.
He told us we need have no fear.
He told us frankly and coniden-
TALLY Buffers programme; that
Butler had the future of the new
party at heart and looked upon the
Democratic Convention as q side
show"
