Der of killed is now stated to be l4O, and

SAN Francisco, Jan. 22.-The Piute
Indians are said to be starving on their
barren reservation in Nevada Not q
cen of the congressional appropriation of
SIT 1000 secured by Senator Dawes, Of
Massachusetts,, has reached them.
The winter in Nevada has been a very
severe one The reservation is so barren
that nothing could be grown on the land
to provide against it. The Indians number
1000. Almost their sole means of sub
~sistence has been pine nuts from Pyramid
lake and rabbits. The latter are the only
game on the reservation. Sarah Winnie
mucca, a member of the tribe who lectured
in the East on the condition of the Piutes
and who is now spending a few days in
this city, says: my people are utterly
destitute and numbers of them are fam
ishing in the snow" She attributes their
misery to the negligence of the reserva-
ton officials.

Commending Stanford.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 22.-Interior re-
ports show that Governor Stanford's nom
nation for the United States senatorship
is satisfactory. The Sacramento Record
Union, speaking Of it, says: Governor
Stanford's nomination offers an example
seldom paralleled in the history of the re-
public. The highest position in the gift
of the people of the state was given to one
who declined to press his own claims and
who absolutely refused to make any
efforts to secure it. The selection of
Stanford is not a railroad triumph, but a
popular one. 1t harmonizes the produc-
ing and transportation interests. The
people Of California approve the selection
because they have the fullest confidence
inthel integrity and unsel6shness of the
man

THE CRISIS I'M ENGLAND.

A crisis has been reached in Great
Britain and tho dispatches say that the
GLADSTONE ministry has resigned. The
vote on tho budget was the direct cause,
but many things have contributed 10
aud lead up to this defeat, the hating
and unsatisfactory policy toward Rus
STA bong largely instrumental, doubt
less, in accomplishing the governments
overthrow. While this il so, tho at
tempt 10 increase the duties on beer and
spirits was tho immediate and moss ma
terialized point Of attack. An English
man can forgive, even sustain minis
try that surrenders important questions
of frontier boundary to an aggressive
rival, but when 1t comes to a heayier
imposition on the beer and spirits OF the
realm, the act is an objectionable. one
and the Cabinet attempting such revo-
luton must retire into obscurity. The
Briton's stomach Is as great factor in
his composition as his sense of honor,
and it is always safe to play his thirst
against his conscience.
The Conservatives or Tories do not
appear disposed to take the reins
of government, as is usual on
such occasions. If, however, a
Tory Cabinet is organized, the
change will be most important, not
only to Great Britain, but the world.
Mr.. GLADSTONE has been pacific even
to timidity, and his opponents haye de-
manded an entirely different policy. If
they succeed to power it is barely pos
sible that the present understanding
with Russia may DO regarded, but tho
probabilities are the other way, and the
chances OF war are largely enhanced.
Not only in this respect but in many
others, notably tho Irish policy, must q
change Of lronHbe anticipated, until in
the now troubled state Of European
social and political waters no man can
foresee or prophecy the end.
But this custom Of European minis
tries ofresigniDg upon IN adverse vote
by the representatives OF the people is q
good one. 1t keeps the government
along side Unpopular thought and pur-
poses. The Cabineg in d word is always
up to and in sympathy with the times
Mr.. GLADSTONE has done the state
some service and won many brilliant
victories, and the fact Of the defeat OF
his measures, under the circumstances
of the present, is not discreditable to
him, nor does his star go down in dis
