LARGE NEWSPAPERS.

The New Years edition Of some Of the
newspapers On the Pacific Coast, to say
the least, were grand. Not only were
they immense in size, but the reading
mltter they contained was carefully Sc.
leoted and OF superior quality.
Among them is the great inter-moun
tain newspaper, the Tribune Of Salt Lake
cit7,that wields more power and influence
than all the papers combined between the
Rocky and Sierra Nevada ranges. On
tho birth of the New Year the Tribune
appeared in an entire new dress--from
bead ar to foot, and when picked up
by the subscribers on that morning, she
"e'cemed them with happy and pert
smile, and felt as vain as q Southern Utah

gown, foxed around tho bottom with red
cow-skin. 1t contained an account Of the
"'.,.e Of ihe mining country. showing all
syel.oaa up III a fair and impartial way;
eying justice to all and sighting none.
AZ on former occasions, the San Fran
cisco Chronicle made its bow to the New
Year in quintuplc sheet, containing the
progress and interesting events Of the
old year 1855. 1t is not only az interest
ing paper, but valuable one. containing
much useful information.
The Alta, sparkling with wit and hu.
rlor, in happy go.lucky style, curtsies
to the new Year 1886. The New Years
edition consisted of twenty-four pages.
The Alta, under its present management.
has been lifted out of the depths Of OBJ.
scurity and placed in the front rank Of
journalism. 1t is the leading Democratic
paper Of the Pacific Coast. San Francisco
should feel proud Of the Alta Californian.

THE JUDICIAL ACT.

It ia generally concee1ed that the Act
to re.district the State of Nevada .pproy.
ed March 4, 1885, is unconstitutional.
and it is important that the subject be
brought before the Supreme Court of the
State at as early day as possible in or.
der that the matter be definitely settled
in time to prevent complications which
would be liable to arise should the mat
ter be postponed until after the next gen.
eral election.
Article VI, Section s, of the Constitu.
ton, provides that 1.-THE Legislature
may provide BY law for an alteration in
the boundaries or divisions Of the dis.
tricts herein prescribed, and also for in.
cressing or diminishing the number Of
Judicial Districts Judges therein" The
only reasonable construction which can
be placed on the foregoing clause is that
the State shall be composed Of number
Of districts, and it was left for future leg.
islation to determine the number which,
in the event Of an increase or diminution
Of the population Of the State, would be
adequate for the transaction Of the legal
business Of the State to the satisfaction

Act of March 4, 1885, which provides
that "On and after the first Monday in
January, A. D., one thousand eight hun.

trict." is therefore contrary to the spirit,
if not the letter, Of the Constitution.
The section Of the Constitution above
referred to also provides that "The Dis.
trict Judges shall be elected by the quail

NAVAL WARFARE.
Chambers Journal.

CnaH GERS Journal.
People often wonder what woull
be the results OF great naval battle al
the present time. Would many ships be
destroyed? Would the loss Of life b,
great? Let Us try to describe shortly a
few Of the probable features Of a eight BE-
tween two leets of modern ironclads.
Although two hostile fleets might ap-
proach one another in some tactical form
alton, this would be adhered 10 for any
length Of time, and the battle would soon
become series OF independent duels be-
tween individual ships. This is at once
apparent when we consider that most, ii
not all, of the ships would have rams,
/ and it would therefore be highly reces-
sary for captain to have perfect control
over the movements OF his ship to pre-.
vent her being rammed by an e-emy.
AT the outset Of the action the torpedo.
boats would probably take very nctive
part. and until exterminated, which they
certainly would be in time, would engage
great attention and be effective in sink
ing a few ships. 1t may be safely con-
cluded that every ship would be steam
ing fast during the action, this being
necessary to avoid being rammed, to get
into favorable positions for discharging
torpedoes and to elude the ERE of an
enemy. Heavy gun fire would of course
be maintained from the commencement
Of the action, and those ships whose en-
gines got disabled from this cause would
speedily DO rammcd; and a. this poin.
we consider that great loss of life would
take place, for the reason that the boats
Of ship being always exposed to ma
chine-sun FIRE, would at an early stage of
the action be riddled and shattered with
shot, and in the incredibly short time in
which a ship sinks after being rammed it
would be impossible for the crew to i'm
provise other means to save themselves
from drowning. No steps seem yet to
have been taken by our admiralty with
view of providing for this contingency

stomach and yomited necessarily. We
called in a physician, who said / had infiam-

medicine. The medicine did me no good.
sank very fast. We called in another doctor.
He injected me with morphine, gave me
some medicine and told me that he didn't
think I could live. My wife and my brother
in-law gave me up for gone. Death would
indeed have been relief. My brother-in-law,
as a last resort called in DR.. Mccoy. The
doctor said at once that was very low with
Bright's disease of the kidneys. He gave me
medicine. Almost Immediately the swelling
in my body began to pass away. The re-
covery OF my strength came more slowly, but
it came surely. 1 gained steadily. I am
now able to get around without difficulty. l
am on my way at present to pay visit to my
father. who lives at New London, Mimi, and
