A Serious Question.

Again and again has the press of the
country reverted to the curious political
problem thrust upon us by the spectacle of
an extinct state, such as is presented by
the declining condition Of Nevada. 1t
never had half as many people-counting
Cinnamon and Indians, all non-voters-as
Lancaster county, and its total vote is lit
tie larger than that Of the Democratic
party here. 1t is true it never was of much
greater magnitude, and its total population
In its best days was not nearly as much as
that Of a single representative district in
any Of the larger states. But its promises
have faded, its booms have collapsed, its
bOnanzas have petered out, and there is
neither soundness in its condition nor help
for its prostration.
Worse than its decline In population
and In all the material elements of a
commonwealth, ARE its abject political servi-
tude and rottenness. 1t is mere append
age Of a lot of rich spectators in San
Francisco. They ownthe mining interests
which support the vot ing population of the
state, and through this proprietorship they
control the employees. With such leverage
they elect two of their own number to the
United States Senate, and balance New
York or Pennsylvania, Ohio or Massachu-
sets in that high council. Originally ad-
m;tted, chiefly to secure the necessary vote
for constitutional amendment, this state
has come to be blot upon the Union
rather than star in the crown. 1t is a
rotten stone in the arch; and, considering
the evenness Of parties in the Senate, the
great and growing questions which that
body is called upon to decide, the approach
ing struggle between popular rights and
Senatorial encrcachments, the presence of
two senators from Nevada may be a very
Disturbing and dangerous element in our
political order.
True, there are other small states. Della
ware and Rhode Island, Florida and Ver-
mont are Of such. But they are political
entities and actual commohwealths. Ne

"Now, girls, how many OF you know how

smiled encouragingly on the fifty neatly
dressed young women who attend the train
ing school for nurses In the hospital ON
Blackwell's Island. Two or three hands
went up hesitatingly, and one young woman
ventured the suggestion that "you put the
egg in boiling water and keep 1t there two
minutes and a-half" This was amended by
another to read three minutes," but the
amendment was not accepted.

THE law recently enacted in Maryland TO
punish wife-beaters at the whipping post, is
not to have very plain sailing. The male ele-
ments OF the matrimonial partnerships Of
that town who belive in wifely castigations,
have banded themselves into society of
husbands for self protection. Their modns
operandi Is said to be as follows: When a
member thinks his wife needs whipping he
calls upon another member to perform the
castigation. The law does not say anything
about man who beats another fellows wife,
and thus the alien wife-beater escapes the
whipping post, while the favored husband
stands ready to do him a similar favor when
the occasion seems TO demand the beating OF
the better half. 1t is true the assailed wife
may make complaint OF assault but her IS
sailant cannot be given the lash. Thus IL
the last condition of the wife under the new
law worse than the first, for some one else''
husband bent on a beating errand is likely
to prove more IMPLYING than he who prom
ised to cherish and defend her.

IT is to be hoped that Minister Phelps will
not become the anglomaniac at the court of
St James that his predecessor, Mr.. Lowell,
did. Despite the patent wrongs under which
Ireland has long been laboring, MIR. Low
ellis first words on his arrival at Boston was
that Gladstone's policy "was TO give the
Irish more than justice demanded" Let us
see what this means. Ireland Is at present
under an alien yoke. No Catholic may hold
the place of chief authority therein. A sect
comprising one-eighth of the population
holds the lesser magistrates in perpetuity.
The right of partial self-government, ac-
corded to all of England's white dependen-
cies is denied to Ireland. The hateful coer-
cion act, that has just been knocked full OF
holes, contained many restrictions on the per-
sonal liberty of the individual. The permis-
sion to evict Irish tenants by the ten tn ous-
and has been freely granted by the English
government And finally English legisla-
ton has been persstently aimed at the over
| throw of Irish manufactures. In the name
| of common sense what does Mr.. Lowell
| mean by "more than Justice?
l
| IT seems that Southern writer's exemplify
| the remark that prophet Ii not without
honor save in his own country. A promi.
nent authority in the South, the Wilmington,
| North Carolina, Star, declares that Uncle
Remus has more thorough appreciation in
the North than in the South and that
Sidney Lanier has ten admirers above
Mason and Dixon's line to one below. II
further says that Paul II. Hayne has posi-
bly, more readers Of his poems in New Eng
land than in any five Southern states and
so with Christian Reid and John Ester
Cooke in the appreciation that is manifested
for their writings. 1t does not appear, how
ever, that 1t is because the South is not proud
of her men of genius. She rather runs tt
the extreme of too inordinate appreciation
of them. Because her talented sons ar,
better considered in New England than il
their own sunny cline simply proves thai
there is bigger reading population il

Carolina Lanier and Hayne are far in al
vance of their fellows. The future South

Mark Twain and the Concord sages.

Two or three weeks ago the Trustees of
the Concord Public Library formally pro-
nounced sentence on Mark Twain's last
book, The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn" by voting to exclude it forever
from the shelves over which they eXer-
else censorship. This decree, as awful in
its way as Bunthorne' s curse, was prompt
ly telegraphed to all parts of the Union,
probably at the expense of the enter
prising humorist himself. He certainly
could afford to do so as a matter of
business, to say nothing of the personal
his OversOul must have derived from tie
solemn deliverance of the summer phil
osophers.
We are sorry to have our confidence in
the trustees of the Concord Public Library
shaken by an indiscreet revelation by one
of their number. 1t looks very much as
if there was something behind the reasons
publicly assigned by these stern con-
SENATORS of the dignified in literature for
their condemnation of book which con-
tains much matter for laughter, but little
for serious criticism. One of the trustees
has inadvertently revealed the fact that
on general principles no fiction of any
sort is admitted to the shelves of the
library. 1t appears, therefore, that the
trustees must have purchased the volume
in question under the mistaken impress
sion that they were acquiring biographi
cal work, and that Huckleberry Finn was
a real person.
If this is the case, it is easy to under
stand why the summer philosophers
should hasten to get rid of Mark Twain's
book. Was it quite candid, though
quite worthy of natures permanently oc-
cupied with the True, the Beautiful, and
the Good-to attempt to conceal their
rather amusing mistake behind formal
process of condemnation and excommu-
nicatien?
1t would be interesting to learn what
the philosophers thought they were get
ting when they added the Life of Huckle-
berry Finn to the biographical depart
ment of the Concord library. Did they
suppose that Huck was a General of the
American Revolution, or a Mayfower
pilgrim, or a Neo-Platonist philosopher,
or celebrated malefactor, or a French
statesman? We should like to know

the room to Gen. Sheridan to INQUIRE
how many rations he could furnish. Gen
Grant explained that he was advised that
Gen. Lees forces had a number of Fed

were out OF rations. Gen. Sheridan re-
piled that he could supply $4,000 rations.

Grant, at the request of the latter. Gen.
Grant was anxious to have a meeting

before he lost his life. He said he had
prepared statement of the incidents as
he saw them, and hoped that Col. Mar
shall would do the same. Col. Babcock
remarked, at is time the stories of the

Col. Marshall, in closing the CONVEX
sation yesterday alluded to the statements
about what Gen. Lee would have done if
Gen. Grant had demanded his sword and |
the side-arms of his officers. Col. Mar
shall said that question did not come UP
at all in connection with the surrender. |
The only allusion to sword was when
Gen. Grant excused himself to Gen. Lee |
for coming to see him without wearing
one. Col. Marshall thought that if books |
were written to tell the things that men
might have done if something else had |
except what really happened, |
there would not be enough libraries to
hold them.
