the posting of grain out of condition in other

A number of people in Valencia, Spain,
are being inoculated with cholera virus
to prevent incubation with the scourge
in its normal form. The results of these
operations are being closely watched by
doctors and scientists. The virus in
oculation produces a tumor on the pa
tient, who becomes severely Frustrated
from the effect in about twenty-four
hours, but generally recovers entirely
within forty-eight hours after the opera
ton. All the provinces of Spain have
sent doctors to Valencia to study this
system. 1t is generally believed that
the experiments already made have es-
tablished the success of the system of
cholera incubation.

toned as q Delegate 10 the Conn
mercial Convention TO be Held i'm
Atlanta ON Tuesday Next
Says the Virginia Enterprise Of last
Saturday: 1t seems to us that some earnest
effort should be made TO secure 9 proper
representation of Nevada at the CONNER
cial Convention TO be held in Atlanta on
the 10th instant. Delegates are invited
from all parts of the country, the idea be-
ing to have it assume q national character
Every local commercial organization will
be entitled to send a delegate for every
fifty members or fractional part thereof.
Every town Of 1000 inhabitants, not hav-
ing an organized commercial body, can
send a delegate, and another for every ad-
ditional 5000 inhabitants. Delegates from
organized bodies will be appointed by the
body and those from towns by the chief
officer. Governors are eligible as dele
gates, and are entitled to appoint two
from the State at large. The list of
subjects to be considered is as follows:
First, commercial and reciprocity trea-
ties between the United States and foreign
countries; second, a national bankrupt
aw; third, the compulsory coinage OF sill
yer; fourth, railway transportation; fifth,
such other questions touching national,
financial and commercial interests as the
convention may deem proper for discussion
and action" Since the silver question is
coming up for consideration, and as the
Southern people are favorably disposed to-
ward silver, Nevada, in common with the
other mining States, should endeavor to
strengthen the hands of all who are bat
ting against demonstration. Our silver
Association has n ow been organized several
months, and ought to take the lead in the
matter of securing a representation OF
Nevada in the convention. We ought not
to suffer ourselves to be lulled into q false
sense Of security at this time bcause of
apparent concessions on the part of our
Treasury officials. Only a few days remain
for action, if anything is to be done. The
Hon. M. ]. Farrell, of Lander, would be a
very efficient delegate. The delegates
from San Francisco to the above conven-
ton are Henry Casanova. N. s. Bachman,
Moses Greneebaum, George W. Meade and
Moses Heller.

TO ABOLISH ALL ARMIES BE
FORE 1900

The International Arbitration League
hopes to induce all nations to accept
arbitration and consent to disarmament,
and Representative Pettibone, of Ten
nessee, a member of Che League, intends
to introduce a bill in Congress next
Winter, authorizing the President to in
wife a conference to be held in Washing.
ton in 1887, to make arrangements for a
Peace Congress in London in 1890. He
believes that delegates from all civilized
nations would attend both meetings and
that the scheme of the League can be
made to abolish war before the end of
the present century. Says the New
York Mail and Express: As the aggre-
gate annual cost of the armies of Europe
is nearly $3.50, 600, 900, and the average
number of men Withdrawn from indus.
trial ~employments for military service is
about 5000, 600, the relief resulting from
disarmament would be very important,
pecuniarily, to say nothing of the cessa-
tion of the horrors of war. Almost all
national debts are the product of war,
and the campaign against Napoleon ad.
ded about 50, 900, 600, 900 to the debt Of
Great Britain, as the rebellion did to the
debt of the United States; France paid
80, 900, 0O0, 900 for the chastisement in.
ficted by Germany, and the conflict of
Russia and Turkey cost $3.50, DOC, 900,
besides LOG, 900 lives, although it lasted
hardly more than six months.
Gen. Grant said, in a letter to the
Peace Convention held in Philadelphia,
in 1888: my views on the subject Of
peace arbitration in the settlement of in
ternational differences instead of the
sword have not changed, but my hope
of the speedy accomplishment of the de-
sired result has diminished" As stats.
tics show that the standing armies Of
Europe have increased about 60 per cent
in fifty years, it must be confessed that
the prospect of disarmament does not
seem encouraging. Agitation is certainly
requisite to the achievement, and there
fore the meetings in Washington two
years hence and in London three years
later may effect much good. The en-
~lightenment of the people of the whole
world upon this subject must ultimately
create an irresistible demand for the sub.
stitution of arbitration for war, and be-
fore the year 1900 the folly of maintain.
ing vast armies ought to be made
evident to the nations of Europe, as it
was to this nation at the very beginning.

full il may be in the view OF the church, to

of the Commonwealth has lately ~expounded
the law to this effect. The public statutes
declare that whoever travels on the

ity. shall be punished by fine not exceeding
$40 for each offence" The Court holds
that il a man takes q short walk 'for air

he Is not an unlawful traveller or q breaker
Of the Sunday law. In reaching this con-
clusion it lays much stress on the brevity

WHAT Is THE BRITISH GAME .

There is an aspect of the Anglo-Rus.
sian peace question which stands in
danger of being overlooked. As there
are two sides to every question, and as
the general sympathy of the press is with
the Russians, with a consequent read
mess to attribute the recent backing
down of England to the ~pussilanimity of
the English Government, says the San
Francisco Argonaut, might it not be as
well to ask whether England may not
have interested reasons for her present
policy of concession, and whether, by
yielding the Penjdeh point, she is not,
like a skillful lawyer who puts in a stay
of proceedings, gaining time to get her.
self into thorough readiness for the con.
fict? The Russians are massed upon
the spot. They are, to say the least, at
the very frontier of Afghanistan-prob-
ably beyond it. There is nothing in the
world to prevent them from occupying
not only Herat, but also Candahar and
even Cabul, except such poorly-disci-
plined and poorly-armed opposition as
the Afghan chiefs can bring against them.
They are practically. at this present mo-
ment, masters of Afghanistan. 1t is
doubtful whether a sufficient force could
be collected on the other side of the
Indus to oppose them before they reached
the Khyber Pass, if their generals choose
TO keep up their victorious march. 1t is
not presamable. it is contrary to Russian
precedent, and contrary to the ordinary
logic of warfare, to suppose that the Gar
will stay the fight of his victorious
eagles within sight of the promised land
almost within cannon shot of Herat.
1t is well, therefore, to consider the pos
sibility of whether, in the concession of a
dubious strip of territory, English diplo.
macy may not have been more than a
match for the astute Russian. Had it
been a Napoleon, or even a Skobeleff, in
stead Of Komaroff, who is reported to be
an aggressor of a very mild type for a
Russian General, the Russian army
might now be well on its way to India.
What does Russia gain, it might be
asked, by the submittal Of the Afghan
frontier question to arbitration A novel
victory over England, it might be an.
swered, by causing her to yield a point,
besides the positive acquisition of the
Penjdeh territory position, after all,
practically no nearer Herat or India than
a point fifty miles to the north would be.
Meanwhile military preparations are
going on with unceasing vigor in India,
thousands of extra operatives are at work
in Woolwich Arsenal. The blow of the
riveter ceases not in the English ship
yards. The midnight sky is red over
Birmingham and Manchester. Arbitra-
tion to England means delay-delay
means opportunity to prepare for war.
