" The car drivers in New Orleans
went on a strike on Saturday. The
drivers struck because Mr.. Van
Benthuysen had not carried out
the agreem ent made after the
November strike All the other lines
had fulfilled the contract then made
but because Mr.. Van Benthuysen
had not, the drivers on all the
lines struck. In November, the
drivers had the sympathy of the
community. but in this unjust
course they have not. The strike
came to an end Monday evening,
and everything is lovely again.
A compromise was effected.

THE AMERICAN EAGLE.


The eagle bird Of the great Amer
lean nation, has fixed his piercing
eye on Nicaragua. Not only has
he fixed his eye on that blooming
land, but he has gone further, with
one foot firmly clutching the dome
of the Capitol, at Washington, he
has reached out with the other, and
inserted his talons into the fullest
part of the Nicaraguan trousers,
and the indications are, that he
will "hold his holt"
This admirable diplomatic posi-
ton, appears to be displeasing to
the British Lion, causing the lion
to hustle up, and give vent to sun
dry threatening growls, but the
eagle bird don't scare worth cent.
He is accustomed to giving odds,
odds as great as twenty-seven to
one, and then coming out ahead.
The British Lion can growl all he
wants TO. He can rear up, and
prance around, and show his teeth
to his hearts content, bat he must
STAY at home to do it. He can't
come over on this side of the water
and indulge himself. The eagle
bird is the cock Of the walk over
here, and he don't propose to toll
crate any interference.
Just let the eagle bird alone, and
he is quiet enough, but if he is
crossedin his family affairs, he will
ruflle up his feathers, and scream
defiance to benighted old world.
No lions or anything else, can
browse on his range. He will
make it red hot for intruders, OF
any, or all kinds, and flap terror
into the hearts of his adversaries.
His coat tails drag the ground, and
he Just wants to see any John Bull
or Johnny Crapeau, or Hans Sauer-
kraut step on them.
Oh, the great American eagle is
on the warpath, and he struts. He
has got a coal fleet, flushed
with success, with which he will
butt TO the bottom of the ocean, any
ventursome ironclad that puts in
an appearance. Canada swarms
with American patriots disguised
as bank cashiers, and the merest
trife, is liable to precipitate a con-
flict which will make Europe stand
aghast at the commotion. Thrones
will totter, dynasties will be i'm
perilled, while the bald headed
American esgle bird, will withdraw
for a moment, his clutch on the
bulge of the Nicaraguan trousers,
and plunging his han-talons i'll
his dragging coat tail pocket draw
forth a red cotton pocket banker.
chief, and burying his beak in its
capacious folds utter a blast of tri-
umphant definance. Hear him
screech and tremble.

PicOtte Again Thrashed.

T. Z. Picotte, who once worked
on the Chronicle, and also publish
ed the Lyon County Times, has
again been thrashed quite severely
in HALEY, Idaho. Since Picotte
located there he has been thrashed
no less than a dozen time, and in
all cases deservedly. for he is a
man who has never been able to
draw the line between what a jour
nal has a right to say about a citi-
zen, and topics which do not come
within the bound of gentlemanly
discussion. Picotte belongs to
class of rnalists who carry in
their minds the tradition that the
elder Bennett made the Herald
what it is by getting himself con-
tinually thrashed in the streets of
New York, and he labored under
the impression that by adopting
the same course in Haley, Idaho,
he could reach the same results.
The thrashings which Bennett got
may have advertised the Herald,
but the ability of Bennett and his
superior talents as a news gatherer
is what kept the paper before the
public. Picotte, in trying to emu
late Bennett, slurred Judge Street
until the latter caned him roundly
in the street. After a while man
like Picotte will learn that any
common BLACKBOARD can earn for
himself a Gaming, but he can
never run a newspaper on canes
alone.

SnQiiiny the Slate.

NEW YORK, April 80. A Times
Washington special says: There
is scarcely poorer or more
pitiable thing about Washington
nowadays than an ex-senator or
ex-Representative seeking Office

influence with the shadow Of his
former power. These men have
not met with any conspicuous sue
cess, but some of them spend all
the time not filled up in the bar

story in point is related of ex-Sen-
ator Slater, who, with editor Nolt-

said to have carefully made up a
slate of the Offices to be filed,
upon which they had put only the
names of men who would 80 con-
duct political affairs in Oregon as

only one Office has been filed in

represented as being very indig-
uant, because he was not their man,
but was the choice of the mer-
chants of Portland, who had not
been made aware of Slater's aspi-
ratien to be returned to the Senate.
Schenck was formerly Brooklyn

TRAVELLER.
The writer of the above who,
perhaps, comes through Carson
once a year, seems anxious to have
the towns along his route thorough
ly renovated and the moral atmos-
phere cleared: We know nothing
of the state of affairs in Chinatown
although there is no question but
that opium smoking has taken a
firm grip upon a good many in this
city. To ask the police to spend
their time fumigating an infected
quarter for the benefit of a non
resident is good deal to ask.
City has tried to stamp
out opium smoking and about given
it up. People who are slaves to
the vice will smoke in spite of the
police, and from a common sense
stand point, are not a class Of peo-
pie who are worth saving.-ED.
