Hand 9renades.

Douglas, being destitute of the simplest
means of protection from fire, is now
agitating the matter of procuring hand
grenades, and supplying each business
house with a dozen of the same. Gus
ter, some two years since, had under
consideration a similar intention, but
before making tie investment it was
decided that a test of their merits should
be made, whereupon the agent of the
Grenade Manufacturing company col
lected together sundry dry goods boxes,
tar barrels, and other inflamable ma
erial, and piling them up in the middle
of the street set them on fire. After al
lowing the fire to get under full head
way, he approached the burning mass,
and climbing up on the top of a series of
boxes, which had been arranged for his
convenience, he proceeded to break
sundry grenades over the burning pile,
each one Of which seemed to stimulate
and strengthen the devouring flame
until he was finally compelled to retire
or roast. The enterprise was OF course
abandoned, but the agent readily sold
the balance on hand to our citizens for
fire kindlers. We recommend bucket
brigade, brace of ladders, and few
fire hooks for the future great"

The Local Editor.

Hon. David Davis eVinced very
clear conception of the immeasurable
benefits conferred upon a community
by the free lines" disseminated through
the medium of a local paper, when he
said
Each year every local paper gives
from 500 70 $1,000 in free lines for the
benefit of the community in which it is
located. No other agency can or will do
this. The local editor, in proportion to
his means, does more for his town than
any other ten men. and in all fairness,
man with man, he ought to be support
ed not because you happen to like
him or admire his writings, but because
a local paper is the best investment a
community can make. 1t may not be
brilliant or crowded with great thoughts,
but financially it is more Of a benefit to
a community than apreacher or teach
er. Understand us now, we do not mean
morally or intellectually but financially,
and yet on the moral question you will
find the majority Of the local papers are
on the right side of the question. To-
day the editors Of local papers do the
most work for the least money of any
men on earth. Subscribe for your local
paper. not as a charity, but as an invest
ment."

A Denver paper in recent report of
railroad merchandise receipts notes one
car load OF scenery. Now, if Denver is
importing scenery, we desire to call her
attention to this vicinity, which abounds
in that article to an extent surprising
that of any other locality extant. and
we would suggest the propriety Of her
accepting this place as the most desira-
BILE to be found as supply point.

The best evidence that the Northwest
ern proposes to extend its rails to Dead
wood at an early day is seen in the in
PRODUCTION of bill in congress granting
them the right of way through the Fort
Meade military reservation, which lies
between Rapid City, the present ter.
minus of that road, and Deadwood
gulch. With railroad at the very door
of the mines, mining in the richest
mineral camp in the world ought to re-
ceive healthy and steady boom. Al
present the high cost of transportation
prevents shipment of low-grade ores
and adds enormously to the expense OF
home reduction.-Chicago Times.

Statements Refuted.

Some days ago there appeared in the
Associated Press dispatches from New
York published in these columns, a state
ment TO the effect that kilograms from San
Francisco had been published there in some
manner rejecting upon Monsignor Capel,
the eminent Catholic divine, at present a
resident OF Sacramento county. Coupled
with the statement was an expression OF
the New York Nail and Express intimating
that enyious persons within the pale of the
Monsignor's own Church, in Europe, had
endeavored the iDjure him, and ~attributing
the present movement to that source. The
impression generally conveyed by the tele-
gram in question was that the Monsignor's
fealty to the Church of his adoption had
again been questioned, as some months ago
a telegram from Europe enormously an
nounced that he had returned to the Eng
fish Church, and had been appointed to an
important Bishopric therein. But on the
day on which the New York dispatch APP
peared q journal in this city took the mat
ter up and placed upon it a construction
which, if warranted, would tend TO reflect
upon the private character of the eminent
gentleman. Certainly there was nothing
in the dispatch printed in these columns
that warranted any ~allusion of the kind,
but rather conveyed the idea of some posi-
be misunderstanding between the Monsig-
nor and functionaries of The Church of
which he is a very able exponent. In con-
nection with this matter, the following tele-
gram was received from New York yester-
day:
NEW YORK, October 1Oth-Monsignor Capel
has sent the following telegram, dated Elk
Grove, Cal, to the Mall aud Express You are
misled by malicious kilograms. h statement
are absolutely false, and l trust to your honor to
deny them"

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH IT?

What shall be done with a party, what
hope is there for a party, what can be said
of a party, that will deliberately put into
its platform, made by four or five hundred
gentlemen, a falsehood-a fat, fragrant lie ?
This is substantially the inquiry of Mr..
Swift regarding the unconscionable, vulgar
and Thoroughbred Justification in the
Democratic platform that there is or was
such a thing as the Burlingame-Swift
treaty with China? Let not the Republi-
can candidate concern himself greatly.
The better element in the Democratic
party is heartily ashamed of the fabrica-
ton. The people know it is a cheat, an
attempt to overreach, to deceive, and they
will do with the party that resorts to the
imposture what should be done. 1t is q
discouraging sign, we admit, when in 20.
litical decadence a party reaches such 8
low level. 1t makes the heart faint fol
ones country that men who in private life
would resent the lie " with a blow, only
smile blandly when given the lie for such
a mendacious piece of work as the dele.
gates to the Democratic Convention did
We know some of them they do not at
tempt to defend the villainous falsehood-
they only smile. To such a plane of low
morals has political chicane brought

CoRNERING MIR. BARTLETT.

Mr.. Swift makes a strong case against
Mr.. Bartlett concerning the pledge of the
latter to vote for Senator Booth. Bartlett
asserted in his San Rafael speech that he
had no such intention when nominated
and running for the Senate on a bolt from
the Democratic party, but that, on the re-
TRACY of Mr.. Casserly, he changed his
mind and went for Mr.. Booth. Now, says
Mr.. Swift. if this be true, why did Mr..
Bartlett appear, as he did, at the great
meeting at Platt's Hall in San Francisco
in 1873, when Governor Booth spoke and
Mr.. Bartlett posed on the rostrum as the
head Of the Dolly Warden ticket =? If he
accepted the nomination made in the in
terest of Governor Booth, and with that
distinct understanding, intending to betray
him and vote for an opponent, then he
confesses to a traitorous and despicable
character. Against such a conclusion Mr..
Swift protests. He will not listen to such
4 charge against his opponent; he insists
that Mr.. Bartlett has simply forgotten.
We are less Observation-Disclosures has not
forgotten. No man is elected to the Sen
ate of California and serves there for four
years, and forgets why he was nominated,
or what for. No man in a canvas for the
Senate goes before the people and poses at
a great mass meeting as a candidate and
forgets why he did so. The conclusion
that Mr.. Bartlett did intend to prove I'M
true is far more consonant with reason
besides, he himself has said it" Why
then should any one rise up to defend the
%oornered and chatting Democratic candi-
date for Governor from the damnation OF
his own u~tteranceS d?

THE demonstration of Republicans in
this city Saturday night was impressive,
manly and full of meaning. The vast au-
dience that remained in the Wigwam to
so late an honr testified to the thoughtful
ness and earnestness of the people in this
campaign. We doubt if Messrs. Swift and
Tanner have either of them or anywhere
had more closely attentive, representative
or intelligent audiences. There was en-
thusiasm of the right kind-deep, earnest,
vigorous, persistent in its manifestations,
not the froth and rattle and noise of mere
campaign ~whooping. All of which bears
witness again 10 the elevated plane upon
which the party moves, and the thought
full, patriotic attitude it assume 1t testi-
fes to the conviction of principles that
makes men Republicans.

rior with his power on the stump" Yes,
his power TO make an ass of himself, and a

TO the fact, and openly boasts of it, that the
Democratic party does not belong to al
age nor civilization that builds railroads,

thrive amid the busy hum of industry, de-
clares himself and his party, unfortunately,
preserved relics of the Dark Ages. If there
is one thing more than otherS of which the
Republicans of the Pacific coast have
cause 10 be proud, it is that a Republican
Congress chartered and aided the construc-
ton Of the great overland railroads, and
tia. Republicans built them, while at one
