JUDICIAL ELECTION.

Judge Stipp authorizes the announce
ment that he will be candidate in June
for reelection as one of the Circuit Judges
of this judicial district. The career of
Judge Stipp on the bench has been so cred
itable-indeed, so brilliant one-that
there can and ought to be no question of
his election by a large majority.
Although making no formal announce
ment Of the fact, il is of course understood
that Judge Blanchard will also be candi-
date at the June election. Having been
placed upon the bench by appointment of
Gov. Hamilton, to fill a vacancy, his brief
career has been so Credtable and success,
full that his election by a handsome majori;
" would seem TO be but deserved recog-
milton of his indisputable merits.
We take it for granted that Judge
McRobcrt4 is also n candidate for re.elec-
ton, and in view of his long and honorable
career and unquestioned ability upon the
bench it would seem IN absurdity to sup.
pose it possible that his re election can be
doubted.
Yet Judge Gilbert, who is fourth can
didate has so many elements of strength
that it is hard to see how he can be defeat.

To avoid such an unpleasant outcome,
the only refuge now seems to he to work

least, fourth Judge is almost an absolute

and they are noted tor their efficiency and

wages of Farm LaDOr.

The Bureau Of Agriculture's repors OF
wages paid farm labor shows that the great
number Of persons thrown out OF employ
ment In other branches OF labor has de-
pressed the wages OF farm hands to some
extent In Eastern. Southern and western
States, but in California and the Middle
States there has been an actual advance IN
the rate OF wages ever since 1857, SO mas
the wages now paid are the highest ever
known. reckoned in gold value. higher
wages were paid in 1866, except in oallior-
mia. but in q deprecated currency. CON
sidering that there appears in the Middle
States an average of IS cents per MONTH or
over four per cent. and an average OF oo
cents, more than one per cent it Is evident
that the general decline in wages cannot Dc
more thar about five per cent really q sur
prising and satisfactory result, considering
the large number OF persons IN otner GU,

THE NORTHERN MAIL ROUTE.

A Renewed Effort TO Have Ie Dis-
continued.
The Winnemuocs Silver State says that
the usual annual effort is being made by
the Oregon Short Line Railroad Company
to have the Postofice Department discon'
tinue the mail route between that point
and Idaho. This line being twenty-four
hours shorter and considerable cheaper fol-
Southwestern Idaho and Southeastern Ore
gon people going to and from San Fran
cisco than the Oregon short line, ii de-
prives that road Of considerable traffic
hence the effort to have the Postofice De.
partment discontinue carrying the United
States mails over it. This year the Short
Line Company seems to have impressed the
Postofice Department with the idea that
the route can be abolished without incon-
venience to the public, and, perhaps with q
saving to the Department, as bids have
been invited for carrying the mail from
Winnemucoa to Fort McDermit. AS the
Department ia not supposed TO be advised
as to the inconvenience the abandonment
| Of the line would cause to the settlers be-
tween Fort McDermit and Silver City, q
| petition is being circulated at Winnemucca
for signatures praying the Postmaster Gen
| eral to continue mail service on the line,
| and pointing out the great Inconvenience its
abandonment would cause to the settlers
| Of Southeastern Oregon and Southwestern
| Idaho. The fact that the stage line il
patronized by the people OF those sections
| and that the merchants and farmers OF
| Jordan Valley and intermediate points get
| their merchandise and farming implements
| by team from that place, is conclusive
| proof that it is the most direct route for
| carrying their mail and giving them COM
munication with the outside world. There
is not q station along the line that does
not answer the purposes Of q Postofice
for the settlers in q large scope OF country,
as letters and papers are put in way pock-
eta and distributed at every station. A
true statement Of the facts certainly ought
TO convince the Postmaster General OF the
absolute necessity OF continuing mail
service ON the route, as in this day and age,
| when everybody writes letters and reads
newspapers, it would deprive several hun
bred people Of an opportunity to com
municate with the world without going
from fifty to one hundred miles to q Post.

Supt. Eureka Con. NJ
Butte City I'm Luck.

The Butte Inter-M fountain of the 10th
reports a very considerable reduction in
the freight on copper matte aud ore to the
sesboard. Heretofore the rate to New
York has been S24 a ton on ore and S25 on
matte. The reduction just made by the
Union and Northern Pacific Companies
makes the figures Sl8 on ore and $40 on
matte. The reduction is due to some ex.
tent to the opening OF the navigation sea-
son on the Great Lakes, coupled with q de-
sire on the part OF the railroad companies
to foster the development and increase the
production Of the Montana mines. The
change represents q saving to Butte OF
many thousands OF dollars monthly.
Advices from Liverpool yesterday are TO
the effect that copper has taken an upward
turn. II was quoted yesterday at S45 los.
This rise considerably brightens the pros
poets OF our copper mine owners.
