[ notice that j. j Smith, Of Miller,
to town last night. Smith is q
dyed-iu-the-wool democrat, but he is q
square man on the division and admis-
sion question. Smith was down at
Washington a few weeks ago and got in
rather bad odor by training with Ord
way, Boynton and that gang, but Smith
says he has reformed and cut loose from
those fellows. Well, L am glad of it,
for Smith is a good democrat and a good
fellow on general principles. While |
think of it, Smith told me- that Ordway

Patriotism Unrewavded.

The following, wnich we clip from
the Deadwood Pioneer of the 3rd under
the caption of "The Lesson" VIEW fofci-
bly, portrays the difficulties whici. beset
the path of the politician, and The
meagre chances for reaching the goal Of
his aspirations. The writer INDUCES in
a view Of the situation sc previously
grave, az TO encourage the belief that
mis- name appeared on the defeated
ticket in the late election. We cannot
for a moment doubt that when the time
arrives for the next biennial sacrifice.
there will be many found who will
readily consent TO be inundated upon
the altar Of patriotism, ever though t,ev
may Rave read the sorrowful suggestions
which We quote:
The agony of the political conflict is
over. yesterday everybody Yves run
ming up and down, deeply concerned
over The result. Let us see what there
IS IN politics to warrant all this extraor
binary effort. Let us calmly review the
examples and experiences Of the poll

"This world has existed some six
thousand years; some SIX billions, ac-
cording to SC ent SITS -under all SORTS Of
rulers, some good, but mostly bad. Still
this grain of sand continues TO whirl in

teen miles a second. 1t is likely to
pursue its course for some billions more

Washington, Nov. 3.-Although the
political fate Of the Finieth congress de.
pended upon the result of the recent
elections, the interesting contest did not
much disturb the residents Of Washing
ton. On Tuesday they were apparently
more interested in the autumn races, in
the real estate market, in merchandise
and stocks, or in some of the happen
ings about the city, than in the seats
that either political party would gain or
lose in the next congress. Their in
difference eau be easily accounted for.
Washington was the one city that was
"out' ofthe fray the only one which is
not flooded with electioneering docu-
ments. and which was free from excite
meat of political campaign. 1t is the
only city that cannot vote.
Dut now congress will soon be back.
That fact is highly important TO the citi-
zens of Washington, ever if its political
complexion is of slieht consequence.
Democrats and republicans alike eat,
drink, arclothes, and ride in carriages.
Throughout the city there is busy pre-
paiation for the coming session and the
social season. Officials are busy from
the president down to bu'eau chiefs
and the first lady of the land is busy
with plans and toilets FOR The social

We are in receipt Of the annual report

Of which is devoted to extracts from
letters received by the commissioner
from divers and sundry individuals
commendatory to him. If the commits
sioner had presented an equal number
Of extracts from the letters he has
doubtless received which were CON

would have been better prepared to

part OF the character of the people who
have planted the homes, builded the

ed and villified an honest, loyal, and
intelligent people; that his general
policy toward the Northwest, and par
ticu'arly toward the honest settlers of
Dakota, is based neither on law, prece-
dent no. justice; that he has reversed
the well-established priciple that a man
must be considered innocent until he is
proven guilty, and that his ~oft-repeated
statement that 90 per cent. of the public

with malice, and sought to be sustained

to contain about five pounds Of quartz.

sold it for $1,000, and it was Subsequent
" sold in San Francisco for $4,000. 1t
was found at Sonora, then known rs the
Sonorian camp, in Tuolumne county, on
the headwaters of Wood creek, by Il lazy
old Mexican 'greaser" who was roofing

not let 90, but kept the old fellow drunk
for a day or two, or until they owned it
in full, allowing him 5000 for it. He
had lots of fun in a very short space Of
time for his 5000 nugget. In this con

He says that J. j. Finney, 'Old vir-

miles from DOwniville, Sierra county,
on the Dist of August, 1897, that weighed
5000 ounces The gold of that vicinity
was worth SIS an ounc, which would
make the value Of that nugget some
