THE OLD vyASHeE DEAEGA-
THON.

The Carson Tribune is authority
for the statement that Ormsby
county is determined to have a
good delegation in the next Legs
lature. Reno Journal.
This is doubtless printed to make
Reno people laugh. For some
wears past Carson has made a regu-
lar ass of itself by sending men to
the Legislature a majority of whom
voted early and often for Reno's
interest. They have as whole
been able to blunder on to more
Reno Legislation than the Reno
Delegates. 1886 will be a good year
to send an Ormsby Delegation
from this city to the Legislature,

The Call, in it's trade review

The Call, in its trade review
says: .
The anti-Chinese movement pro-
duces curious effects in unthought-
of places 1t has weakened the
tin plate market, as some of the:
canneries, being anxious to replace
their Chinese by white labor, are
unable to find skilled white work
men. and as this is the season for
beginning the work Of making cans
the call for tin-plate is not as brisk
as it otherwise would have been.
The above is very characteristic
of the Call, in that it is not only
false but treacherous. 1t Is design
ed to aid some of the canning men
to get the Chinese back again, by
creating the impression that they
cannot get skilled white labor.
There are hundreds of skilled
white men ready to do the work
wanted, fact of which the Call is
probably well aware as we are.

INNOCENT GARLAND.

A prominent Democrat from a
Western state who is spending
some days in Washington is re-
ported to have said: 1T was at a
dinner party the other night when
Garland was talked over. Both
Whitney and Manning groaned
over his wickedness in taking a lot
Of worthless stock as if he had
committed an objectionable sin.
Garland is the most honest man in
the Cabinet. He is so honest that
he does not know what fool these
people are making Of him. When
he heard that two old FOUNDERS like
Whitney and Manning are going to
resign from the Cabinet because
Garland remained, it remined me
of the couple of strumpets who
threatened to leave the block be-
cause the woman at the next corner
wore Z low-necked dress"

EaCHEW POLITICS.

The leaders of the anti Chinese
movement will d. well to eschew
politics in their conventions if
they propose to make a success of
their work. There is every evil
dence that the anti-Chinese Con-
yention at Sacramento will be con
trolled by a gang Of corrupt polite
ians who are now shrieking the
Chinese must go" but who really
care no more about the success of
tina movement that polecat cares
about cologne. The Sacramento
Bee says:
There is increasing evidence that
the Auti- Chinese Convention, soon
to assemble in Sacramento, Is In
danger of being controlled by time
serving politicians, who form a
large proportion of the delegates.
Those appointed by the San Fran
cisco Supervisors, for instance, are
mainly of this class. All the we'll
known names on the San Francisco
list are those of politicians, and
among these are men who are not
in sympathy with the present
movement. Frank Pixley is one OF
them, a man who in his own weekly
paper is opposing the agitation, aud
Safeguarding prominent citizens
of Sacramento for taking part in
the crusade. 1t is an insult to the
Convention to send such ridicu-
lous charlatan as a delegate. They
might as we'll turn loose in the
Convention a lot of Kilkenny cats.
Tie first work of the Convention
should be to suppress the politicians
and put earnest men to the front.
IF tn e Convention is to be run by
politicians it will inevitably be a
failure"
If the Convention fails to accom-
plish the end in view let the people
of California make note OF those
men and bury them politically for
all time.

A DIFFUSIVE WRITER.

In the last number of the Over
land Is an article by c. B. Bradley
upon Some Problems Relating to
the Giant Trees"
He starts out by saying that no
other writer has eyer quite given
the public what ought to have been
given it regarding these trees.
Among other things he alludes to
the ''vap orizing of idle imasinings
of the newspaper men.
After wrestling with Mr.. Brad
ley's multitudineus Bunsbyisms,
the conclusion is reached that the
author would have considerable
linguistic nonsense knocked ont of
him by a few years drudging on a
daily newspaper. Had he put in
more time in some office alongside
the "yaporizing newspaper men"
he would never have delivered his
mind of such rubbish as the follow
ing:
This conclusion has been sup
ported by general considerations of
antecedent probability and by
somewhat wide analogy of parallel
cases"
There a class of magazine writers
who, when they are discoursing up
on a scientific subject upon which
they have no information to i'm
part, conceal the fact by disjointed
masses of observations which
are supposed to bewilder somebody
but which in reality leave the read.
er's mind as barren of information
as a sand bar is of grass.
Such writer's would do well to
study the plain and forcible style
of Tyndall, who, when he gives the
world a scientific article writes sc
that it will charm either an acad
envy of science or a ten-year old
school boy. This sort OF writing
has made Tyndall great.

BASE BALL.
The Portland Team for the Coming
Season.

Mr.. Spence, under whose management the
Portlands won the championship last sea-
son, will manage the team this year and play
his position on second base. Shoeneck and
Hatfield will cover the other two bases and
Hatfield will also do more pitching than for
merly, it being thought that he can comply
with the new rules easier than either Mad
den or Conway.
For shot stop, Mr.. Spence has secured J.
o. Lufberry of Railway, N. j. Lufberry is
player of considerable experience. He has
played in the Eastern league for several sea-
sons, being member of the Domestics in
1884 and of the Hartfords in 1885 and 1885,
Those who saw the two Hartford games
here the first of last season will remember
his fine work at short. He is good batter
and runner and reliable player in every
way.
For the outield three valuable men have
been secured. These are Robert Bell of
Hoboken, Charles E. Barber of Philadelphia
and Andres, from the International league
Bell played last year on the Jersey Blues
He is an unusually fine fielder, and hard
hitter and fast base runner, being able to
slide in great style. Barber played last sea-
son on the Chattanooga, in the Southern
league. He was member of the Cincinnati
Unions in 1884, at the same time that Shoe
neck played on the Chicago Unions. He is
good outfielder and has played with credit
on third base Andres comes from the
Hamiltons of the International league He
played against Manager Spence in 1885 in
that league. 1t is predicted that he will be
the fastest runner in the league next year.
He is sure fly catcher and his swiftness of
foot makes him able to cover large terrific
ry. Probably Andres will play in left field,
Bell in centre and Andres in right,
The batteries have not yet been engaged.
Probably six or eight pitchers and catchers
win accompany the team on tour through
New York and Pennsylvania in the Spring
and the manager will then select the players
he wishes to retain.

BEFORE JUDGE noNNEY.


SATURDAY-James H. Smith VS.. Fred A Bibber
Action ON promissOry note given by the defend
ant TO William III. Phinney and by him endorsed,
sand dollars The jury rendered verdict for the
plaintiff for $2,129.s1, the full amount claimed to
be on themote
Symonds q Libby for the plaintiff.
Str0ut, Gage Str0ut for defendant.
Dennis L. Mccain VS.. Thomas G. Cooper. This
IS an action TO recover the value of female mastf
dog belonging to the plaintiff and which he al
leges the defendant unlawfully and Enthusiastically
killed. The defendant admitted that he killed the
dog, and claims that he was justified in so doing
by virtue Of Section q Chapter 20, of the Revised
Statutes, which provides ''any person may lawful
ly Kill dog that suddenly assaults him or another
person when peaceably walking or riding, or is
found worrying, wounding or killing any domestic
animal, outside of the Enclosure or immediate care
OF his owners" He says that the dog had been a
nuisance to him and his wife for long time; that
the dog was continually proving about his prem
lsrs, eating up the hens food and Worrying and
Killing his chickens; that on this occasion the
dog came into the defendants enclosure, fright
ened the hens and chickens and as defendant
supposed had chicken under her foot in the act
OF eating II but after the shooting he found it was
bone. The testimony in the case was that the
dog at three months OF age cost S35; that she
was good blooded dog, and an expert who
knew the dog and is versed in the value of dogs
testified tina she was worth 500. The jury, how
ever thought those were war prices and gave tie
plaintiff a verdict for 1892.
ID. A. Meaher for plaintiff
