On the recommendation of DR.. Kimball,
Director of The Mint, Secretary Manning has
authorized the suspension Of all operations
at the mint at Carson, New. Since the sus-
pension Of the coinage Of the standard dol
lar at Carson last June, this mint has been
conducted as an assay office. The deposits,
however, have been Insignificant during the
past few months. The reason assigned by
Director Kimball for the present action Is
that the yield Of the mining industry once
centered at Carson .s@now practically re-
duced 70 nothing, SO that whatever reason
there once was for the existence Of the Car
son mint 10 no longer In force.

HIS G0OSE rs COOKED.

Certain Washington correspondents con-
tinue to blazon the name Of Blaine as the
coming man for 1883. They represent him
as the paragon of excellence, and as the en-
bOdment Of all human virtues. They claim
that he bears defeat with dignity and philoso-
phic camness. That is the sheerest nonsense
Since his defeat he has been bitter and
morose, and his Augusta speech marked
him as angry and revengeful. The Repub-
lican party will, if it has not already, come to
the conclusion that it was never SO over
loaded and handicapped by any Presiden-
tial candidate as by B.aine. The correspon-
dents claim that he lost his election By fraud,
and treachery. The simple and plain truth
is that his personal record defeated him. His
defeat is final extngushmrEt of his polit
cal prospects. The New New York Nation
congratulates the country that it is rid Of
"tnis remarkable demagogue. Certain Re-
publican place-meD are bitter now under
the sting of defeat, but time AMI reflection
will most likely bring them to their senses,
and they will see that the character of their
candidate, his auiacity in the denial of
proven damaging charges, and the general
apprehension of danger from an admintstra-
ton at his hands caused the defeat OF the
party which was so unfortunate as to select
so vulnerable candidate, aud they will be
more careful and select in their future choice
of a candidate.
Blaine shows his little ness and unmanli-
ness in defeat as he showed his audacious
assumption, when cornered in his tricky
aud dishonest official action. Blaine and his
family are making malignant social splurge
in Washington. President Arthur courteous
ly invited Mrs. Blaine to assist other ladies in
doing the White House hOnors, at his New
Years reception. She scOrnfully refused the
polite and kind invitation, and she and her
husband ''cut dead" all the families of the
Cabinet, save two. II is not little surpris-
ing that this estimable and worthy lady, can
be so oblvlOus of the impression made on
the country by her husbands letter - Will
liam Walter Phelps, as TO carry her head so
loftlly and haughtily In the social realm Of
the nations capital city. But Mr. Blaine
draws his family into his resentments, and
by so doing will not be likely TO open very
wide pathway TO an ther Presidential candi-
dacy

SHOOTING MATINEE.
A Lively Shooting Scrape in New Or
leans in Which one Man is
Badly Hurt.

New ORLEANS, Jan. 12.-At 1915 great
excitement was caused on Camp street by
the rapid firing Of pistol shots, so rapid that
being exploded. The firing took place at the
Mascot office, 6S Camp street, up
stairs, between j. d. Houston, state
tax collector, and George Osmond, editor
of the Mascot. 1t is also stated that Robert
Brewster, state register Of voters, accom-
panied Houston and took part in the shoot
ing. Houston and Osmond each received
pistol shot wound in the head. The trouble
was caused by an article in Saturdas's Mascot
rejecting severely upon Judge w. T. Hous-
ton, brother of j. d. Houston. Houston
says he called at the Mascot office to punish
Osmond, that he used a stick and
only pulled his weapon after Os-
mond had drawn mis- He received
shot in his right hand, dropped his pistol,
picked it up with his left hand and fired but
once. Osmond says: II was sitting at my
desk in the Office when two men came up.
One OF them was j. d. Houston, and the
other l knew by sight but not by name.
Houston asked me If my name was Osmond.
Unanswered ''yes" and he struck me over the
head with Il club and then pulled his pistol
and started to shoot | was hit
in the right hand. There were
over ten shots fired, I find two shots struck
Houston. THE man who was with Houston
kept shooting at Zenneck, VINO Was throwing
things at him. / have not the slightest idea
as to what Houston shot OF tackled me for.'
Adolpn ZInneck, one OF the proprietors Of
the Mascot, says:
II was in the Office when Houston aud
Brewster came" Zenneck then corroborates
Osmend's statement as To wat occurred, aud
says: brewster fired at me. Having no
gun threw the top of the stove at him.
Houston, after firing two shots, walked away
and l followed him to the staiaway, where he
fired at me again. The other fellow, Breswster,
was desperate, and kept peppering al me, but
did not hit me-" Brewster, VINO accom- panied
Houston, and took part in the shooting, re-
ceived penetrating wound in the lett breast
in the region OF tue heart, two in the lett
arm above the elbow, and one in the thigh.
He is much Frustrated, weak and sinking.
No one is permitted to speak to or see him.
There are but slight HOPES of his recovery.
Houston's right hand is shattered, and will
probably be amputated. Osmond is less
seriously hurt, aud alter his wound was
dressed was locked up in the Central station.
