Winters has an entry in every race and
runs for blood. His jockeys cannot be
induced to throw race, and conse.
quenlly, it spoils the jobbery Of the

been the fairest ever run on the coast.

General Crook, who, as was shown in
these columns, recently, acquired the
distinction, by his success in subiuga.
ting the hostile Indians from Pitt River
Valley, California, through Southeastern
Oregon to Fort McDermit, Nevada, OF
being one of the best Indian fighters in
the United States army has been slurred
and ridiculed in Arizona and New
Mexico for his failure to exterminate the
Apaches. Though few years ago he
followed the Indians into the Businesses
Of the Sierra Madre mountains, which
had never before been penetrated by
white men, and brought them captives
to Arizona, where they were placed on
q reservation over which he had no con-
troll, he was held accountable for the
outbreak last Spring, and since then has
been made.the target for slurs and sar.
casms, because he has not again sue
ceeded in recapturing them. General
Sheridan, who doubtless knows the dis.
advantages under which General Crook
labors. fully as we'll as his maligners, is
not disposed to echo the sarcasms of the
enemies of General Crook, but accords
him the credit, which brave man is
always willing to give another, when
deserved. In his annual report General
Sheridan says: r
''They 1.-THE Apaches) should all be
exterminated or captured. and I have
the greatest confidence in Gen. Crooks
ability to accomplish this purpose,
though the difficulties are very great.
*..s*sI,I beg the people in that Sec
tion to bear in mind that General Crook
is the best man we have to deal with
these hostile eIndians, and will accom-
plish more in the end than perhaps any
man in the army. He is familiar with
the Indians and the o country,
and, unfortunate as the people
of Arizona and New Mexico have
been, there is no other man in the army
who could do any better or who is more
wrapped up in the welfare of the people
in that section. take great
pleasure in commencing Gen. Crook
for the admiral disposition of his troops
and his steady perseverance under dis
heartening circumstances.

THE "JOINT PRODUCTION"

The article on silver to which the
SILVER STATE alluded a week ago as
being prepared by ex-senator Stewart
and his proselyte. G. w. Baker, has
been given to the public, not as a
speech" or treatise" bnt under the
more pretentious and high-sounding
title of monograph MIR. Stewart
appends his name to the article, which
occupies over page of the Enterprise,
and gives neither the proselyte or the
practical mining man any credit for
their suggestions. 1t is an able article,
however, and states among other things
that the silver question is a contest be-.
tween European bondholders and the
laborers of the world. 1t also alleges
that at the time of the passage of the
act OF 1873 demouetizing silver the
statutes of the United States were
being revised by commission, acting
under la~ which did not authorize
new legislation, but simply contemplat.
ed codi6cation and Encouragement of
existing laws, provision was inserted
by some unknown agency destroying
the legal tender of the standard dollar.
This provision is in the following Ian.
guage:
"The silver coins of the United
States shall be legal tender at their
nominal value for any amount not ex.
ceeding % in any one payment"
At that time Mr.. Stewart was in the
Senate, and although it has been alleg.
ed that he voted for the bill to demone
TIE silver, he does not deny the charge.
Both Houses of Congress were then
overwhelmingly Republican, and if Mr..
Stewart said aught against the injustice
of the bill to his constituents, who were
then, to far greater extent than al
present, dependant upon silver mining,
his objections were not recorded.

King Thebaw, becoming alarmed at
the rapid approach of the British forces,

reply, demanded the surrender of the

The Height of Agony.

Most people the moment they enter q
parsonage to get married become 50
embarrassed they really are hardly con-
scious of what they are doing. One
fellow heard of was dreadfully afiiict-
ed in this way, and without realizing
his act pulled cigar from his pocket
and twirled it around in his hands.
When that portion of the ceremony
was reached in which the lady and gem
tleman join hands he happened to have
the cigar in his right hand. What to
do with that cigar he evidently didn't
know. The clergyman paused for q
moment, and then repeated the instruc-
ton that they join hands. By this time
the poor fellows embarrassment had in
creased so that it was painfnl to behold.
He gave one agonized look at the min
lister and then stuck the cigar in his
mouth. Before the ceremony could be
concluded the minister had to take the
cigar from between his iips.-Chan,-
