AN interesting experiment, showing
the influence of electricity on The
growth of roots, has been made in Ger
many by Prof. Hodefeiss. Plates of
copper were thrust upright into the
earth and connected by wires with
similarly-placed zinc plates about 100
feet distant, an electric battery being
thus formed, with the earth between
the copper and zinc in the circuit. Both
potatoes and beets planted between
such plates gave an increased yield
beets fifteen per cent, potatoes twenty
five per cent.--as compared with other
parts of the same field.

CARSON, Dec. 15.-Carson TriJune: II
is reported that a fine gold gravel bed
has been discovered on the banks oI
West Walker River, above Antelope Val.
ley, Indications OF such find have
long presented themselves in that local
ity.
There are many who look on the pres
ent mining boom as merely trick of the
bosses, but well-known and highly re-
spected gentleman from Virginia CITY in
formed the Carson Tribune that in all the
bonanza time there never was finer ore
body discovered than at present in the
Con. Virginia. He said that the raise in
other stocks might be caused by the ap.
parent boom, but that in his estimation
the excitement had good and sufficient
cause, and it would likely extend all
along the line.

screeds in their editorial columns on the
depravty OF the age in which we live.
Facts will not sustain the theory that
this generation has reached lower
depth Of wickedness than has been
sounded by any preceding age. On the
contrary, impartial history will place the
present in marked advance with the past
in all matters pertaining to moral and
intellectual progress Prophetical birds
OF evil omen may fill the air with their
croakings and impress the ignorant
with a belief that the crack Of doom is
impending. But the public conscience
of the civilized world and the aggregate
OF private virtue in loving households,
was never healthier or in larger volume
than at present. Mr.. Lowell charges
the press with being a news-gatherer
rather than teacher of morality and in
teligence. 1t is open to the charge of
publishing in its colums scandals fished
from the slums OF high and low life, and
it furnishes no antidote to the poison,
by an affected editorial horror at the
narration.
Let protesting journalists and news
paper readers cooperate in effecting a
reform, by creating public sentiment
that shall sustain public journals in re-
fusing to open their columns to anything
which pure-minded women would object
to having read in their hearing.

THE RIGHT TO OWN LAND.

Henry George, late candidate for May
or OF New York, is at loggerheads with
Archbishop Corrgan, the Catholic pre-
late, upon the question of the right OF
property in land" The Archbishop,
in his recent pastoral letter, which was
read in every Catholic church in the
archdiocese OF New York, claims
that land is rightfully the object OF indi-
vidual ownership. Mr.. George, on the
contrary, asserts that "the exclusive
right to ownership to anything produced
by human labor is absolute and inde-
feasible, for it goes back to the man who
made it, and rests on the right OF each
human being to the fruits OF his own ex-
ertions But this right cannot attach to
land. Land was not made by man."
The fallacy upon which Mr.. George
hangs his whole argument is, that land,
like the air and the sunlight, is to be
held in common and ought not of right
to be subject to individual ownership.
But, ii from the overhowng abundance
OF the air and the sunlight, given guam
tity OF either could be improved, set apart
and controlled by individuals, the portion
80 segregated might and ought to
become the individual property OF the
improver, The fact OF the impossbility
OF segregating any portion of the sun
light and the air, and of improving and
controlling it, makes individual ownership
an impossibility. With land it is differ
ent. Vast areas OF it lie unimproved to
be had for the taking by the landless
gentlemen who cannot live without air
and sunshine, but who do live and
prefer to live without land. In fact,
to assert their right to an undi-
vided interest and improve it, would be
to deprive them OF the privilege as pot
house politicians, OF spouting in the mar
ket places where men most do congre-
gate, upon their divine right to land. As
cultivation and individual ownership OF
land lies at the foundation OF all ciyiliza-
tion, labor and improvement upon land
gives to the individual who expends his
labor and money upon given portion OF
it an absolute right to the portion so i'm
proved.
To say with George that God made the
land and therefore man can have no ex-
elusive right to limited portion which he
has made productive, is to say that man
did not make gold or iron, and, therefore,
individuals who have by hard labor
brought these metals from their crude
state and given them marketable value
can have no ownership in them.

HALEY, Dec. 15.-The Kootenai Cour
Ter, OF Idaho, claims the possession o.
information regarding placer region OF
wonderful richness that will cause a rush
into that country next spring.
The Wood River Times says: A strike
OF rich ore is reported from a crosscut al
the bottom OF the shaft in the Camas No
2. AS this strike isa at a depth of ovei
200 feet, it proves the downward continu.
alton of the Gold Belt-something about
which mining men have never enter
tained doubt. The ore runs from $50
to $3.50 per ton.
Ore was struck few davs ago, saws tn,

mel, about twenty-five feet beyond where
Colonel Wall quit work. 1t is weir
about two feet wide, OF which six inches
is solid galena and high grade, the re
mainder of the ledge being low grade ore
AS there is some doubt as to the owner
ship OF the ore, which was discovered b,
the Durango men, but is claimed by the
Bullion-Ophir company, Il lawsuit viii

THE COLOR LINE.

In referring to the failure OF Governor
Robinson, Of Massachusetts,, TO recognize
the colored race in filling the vacancy
caused by the death Of Judge Ruffin, a
colored man appointed to a municipal
judgeship by Governor Butler, the Boston
Globe says:
Occasionally-but only occasionally
Republican party of Massachusetts, permits
a colored man to receive a messengers po-
sition. Colored men, too, are allowed to
hold one or two of the most menial positions
in the States service. But in seeking posi-
tions of honor, they invariably meet the sign:
'No men of color need apply
The colored men OF Massachusetts, vote
the Republican ticket, but it is only at
the hands Of Democratic Governor that
their race has received any recognition
Republican sympathies in the model COM
monwealth are all exhausted on the poor
colored men OF the South.

IRREPROACHABLE NEVADA.

The New York World, in imitation
OF its asinine city contemporaries, has its
contemplate little fling at Nevada. 1t
says that, at was reported not long
since that Nevada was about to become
bankrupt through an agreement between
the rival candidates for the United States
Senatorship not TO spend any money in
their contest The people had been sus.
tanned so many years by the sale of
Senatorships, that they had grown to
depend on it as their principal source OF
income, and refrained from emigrating."
And this kind OF talk comes from that
fountain OF corruption, the home OF Tweed
and his corrupt successors in office,
When the United States Treasury was
bankrupt and its notes on demand were
on the market at forty per cent discount;
when the streets of New York were
drenched with the blood OF loyal men,
shed by an ant-draft mob, it was then
that the millions OF silver and gold from
the great mines and the generous pockets
OF the loyal men OF Nevada and the Pac-
lic slope came to the rescue of the nation
and the Union army. The pretentious
Bohemians OF New York gnaw file
when they undertake 10 taunt Nevada
with lack Of ability or loyalty in con
tributing her share TO the National
Treasury and to the Nations defense.

CONGRESSMAN TUCKER.

A letter from Judge Bennett to n gen.
tleman in this city states that the
chances for the passage OF the Tucker
bill are favorable. The writer further
more says that Mr.. Tucker is not only
sincerely, but earnestly and enthusiast
cally in favor of the measure and will
urge its consideration at the earliest pos
sible moment. Mr.. Tucker says he eK-
poets to retire from public life at the ex-
piration of the present session and he
will regard the success OF this bill the
crowning achievement OF his Congress
ional career. He believes it to be correct
in principle and its provisions strictly
within the limits OF the Constitution.
The DEMOCRAT has never entertained the
slightest doubt in regard to Mr.. Tucker s
sincerity or soundness upon this question
After taking the part he did in
the Committee he would belle his entire
personal, political and official record il
he should fail to sustain his action there
by his course upon the floor Of the House.
Every act OF his life gives the lie to his
defamers who sought at the close Of the
last session to create feeling Of distrust
as to the sincerity of his professions OF
friendship for the measure which was
formulated under his immediate super
vision, and which was, mainly through his
efforts, successfully piloted through its
preliminary stages to II place upon the
calpndar OF the House.
