The Meadow Lake retirement

The excitement regarding the
DEVELOPMENTS at Meadow Lake, Is
on the increase. A syndicate OF
English capitalists are erecting
mill, which, when complete, will
cost $4,000, and its projectors are
satisfied that they have solved the
mystery Of how to reduce the ore
that has heretofore proved so
rebellious. A freight line has been
established from Truckee to carry
supplies and machinery. Truckee
is the entreport to this promising
region. The distance from Truckee
via Independence lake is thirty
four miles. The distance from
Bonner lake by an air line is only
sixteen miles. j. l.. Lewison and
a party Of Truckeeites returned re-
Gently from a weeks tour OF IN
srectien. Mr.. Lewlson says 1t Will
be a month at least before a GER
tainty of developing the ore will be
reached. Old miners and prospec-
tors arc on the qni rire and getting

that is to be adopted proves sue

THE FIELD THIS FALL.

The Republican ticket will have
a clean field in Nevada this Fall.
There are numerous persons at the
present time who occasionally take
occasion to ask: What is the party
doing? Why don't it organizer"
The APPEAL il able to inform its
Republican readers that the most
effective organization is now going
on in the Republican party. 1t is
not being done with any parade,
nor does the sound of the armor-
er's hammer float Ger the field to
warn the enemy of preparation.
Within the next ten days the most
effective party organization ever
perfected in Nevada will have been
made secure.
The leading pswers OF the party
are in almost daily conference,
mapping out the full fight and ar
ranging the forces where the work
will be certain and effective. For
few months before the campaign
there is always considerable con-
fusion and conflict of interest
All these matters are being har-
meniou-ly arranged and so satlsiac-
torilly adjusted that when the cam
naipn opens in earnest. the hight
will be in such excellent shape
that It will be one IN which every
true Republican will delight to
enter.
After the State Convention has
competed its labors nothing Will
be between the party and victory
which will elect the whole ticket
At the present time there are no
dissensions worthy of note IN the
Republican ranks, while on the
other hand the Democratic line IS
full of eapes and their party
leaders are ready to fy at each
others threats. Each day they
scan the Western horizon for the
faint glimmer Of Fairs sack which
they expect every moment to rise
in undimmed splendor on the Sierra
range. But the heavens are dark
in that direction and like pail OF
despair the fact falls upon the rank
and file that they will be
obliged to again swallow the nomi-
nation of Adams, a bitter pill OF
misery which has grown more and
more Iistasteful to the Democratic
party each campaign. The with
drawal of Theodore Winters when
he knew he had a certainty OF the
nomination has spread general
distrust along the Bourbon line
Winters is an old horseman and
knows where to get the inside tips
on the race.

Our Ey.PreSi,lents.

The Drawer referred some time ago
to the young man who is one day to be
President of the United States, and the
desirability OF his fitting himself for
this position. But on reflection the
sub. ect assumes graver aspect. What
the young man ought to be thinking of
IS his ability to become an ex-Presi-
dent. Anybody can be President who
gets votes enough: the ability to get
the votes is quite distinct from the
qualifications to fill the office. And
when a man is in, thanks to the ex-
cellence of our machinery, he cannot
do much injury in four years, except
to himself and his party. Moderate
ability will carry him through respect
ably. But it requires great man to be
q successful ex-President. The office of
President is very exalted one. And
when the man lays it down and retires
and stands alone, and people compare
him with the position he has just left,
he must have very large proportions to
stand the comparison. This aspect of
the case has not been enough consid
cred. Men are very anxious to get the
office, and their FIR ends push them Tor
it, without thinking of the figure the
successful man may make when his
term is over. The fact is, that in the
contrast he may appear much more in
significant than if he had remained in
private life. There has been great
deal of talk lately about giving the ex
Presidents pension in order TO place
them in position of dignity, and enable
them to maintain something OF the state
the people have been accustomed to see
them in. 1t has been often remarked
that king out OF business becomes an
object of compassion. even if he has
invested money in foreign funds. Moth
ing but the possession of great quail
ties can save him from contempt. 1t is
so with an exp resident. The practical
suggestion to be made, therefore, is
that the young man to whom We have
alluded should fit himself to be an ex
President. If he cannot attain the
character and the qualities needed for
that he may be sure that the Office of
President will be but a hollow satisfac-
ton Charles Dudley Warner, IN
