spam Of Horse. Drowned.

Last Saturday, shortly after noon, a
cloudburst occurred in the mountains
bordering Robinson Canyon in White
Pine county, which resulted in a big
rush of water through the canyon.
Jack Strong was on the road with one
of the stages OF the Nevada Stage
and Transportation Company, driving
a valuable span Of horses, and got
into deep water some three and a half
miles above Harry Featherstone's res
idence, in what is known as the six
mile Hollow" He turned out OF the
road, but surmising that he could get
through all right pulled back into the
road again. The flood, however, was
too strong for him and carried both
wagon and horses down the canyon
two miles or more. The horses were
drowned andt the stage badly damaged,
the top being destroyed and beyond
repair, and the pole broken. There
were two passengers on the stage, Jim
James, a Cornish miner, formerly n
resident OF Ruby Hill, and Joe Gran
dell, also a miner. The driver twice at
tempted to reach the horses and save
them, but each time was pulled out of
danger OF the surging stream by the
passengers. The water rushed down
the hallow of the canyon north OF the
road past Harry Featherstone's, John
Ragsdale's and A. X. Watson's fully
IL feet deep, but leaving these places,
which are all ON high ground, COM
paratively dry and without damage.
The water passed through the town OF
Ely two feet deep, but, happily, no
| damage was done there.

Texas is troubled with a plethora OF
cash. Its bonded Indebtedness is only
"a, 500, 900, which the holders will not
exchange for the money, preferring to
draw the interest; and there is in the State
treasury surplus of more than $1,000
600. The school fund has a surplus
of SIG, 900, 900, for nearly half of which
no safe investment can be found. The
farmers, to whom the State has been SELL
ing its lands on forty years time, with
only 5 per cent interest, in the hope that
they would be very dilatory about pay
ing the principal, are piling in the money
on the ov~erburdened State Treasurer.
The counties are doing the same. To
ada to its misery the State has 10000.
600 acres of land yet to sell, which are
bringing every year higher and higher
prices.

THE PENSION YErOEs.

The New York World is of the opin.
ion that the Republican Senators will
make nothing by their attacks upon
President Cleveland for his vetoes Of
private pension bills.
The general public. including first Of
all the old soldiers who are worthy Of
their fame, believe with the President
that the pension list should be "a roll Of
honor" The d~emogogues and claim
agents who are working together to
faint the list with favoritism and pau.
perism are the real enemies Of the SOL
diers.
The general pension laws are exceed.
ingly broad and liberal. Under them
any deserving soldier or his dependent
representatives can secure fair and gen.
erous treatment. More certificates
have been issued under the present Ad-
ministrstion then were ever issued dur
ing the same time before. 1t is NOT
just to the thousands of claimants with
out political or personal influence to pass
special acts granting pensions to favored
persons having "a pull" while others
must take their regular course. 1t is
both unjust and demoralizing to over.
ride general laws and proper decisions
by special Legislation.
President Cleveland has shown great
conscientiousness and courage in exam
lining the hundreds Of private bills and
vetoing those that are improper. The
| justice of his decisions is attested by the
fact that none of them have been over.
ridden, and scarcely one of them at.
tackled upon it's merits.

We are under obligations to Gus
Hintze for a copy Of the Phoebe Boomlet.

1t is q strong advocate Of boys rights,
and in a leading article dishes up the fol.
lowing warning:
a communication from the boys ap.

rights in this matter should be taken
notice Of by the County Commissioners
at their next meeting.
II no notice is taken OF their appeal
for their just rights-and just rights they
are-the columns OF the Phoebe Boomlet
will pitch into them now until election
time, and we will call on all the boys to
help US to knock them sky-high on elec'
tion day. Boys let your watchword be
"Curfew must not ring till 9 o'clock"
Our rights must be respected and if the
Sheriff and County Commissioners won't
respect them, we will get even on them
some way, and the Boomlet is with the
boys in this till it gives up the ghost or
is sued for libel.

rAmmANY nEpEEMINa ITsELF.

Tammany, which under Boss Tweed,
was one Of The greatest plundering CON-.
binations ever organized, bad been re-
formed and is now making a speciality Of
fighting truths. Itsleadershave demanded
that the State prosecute the millionaire
sugar reiners, who have combined to
control the production and price OF
sugar. The Attorney General in reply
to the Tammany men gives an opinion
that the State law relating to conspiracy,
under which a number Of persons have
been convicted Of boycotting, is equally
applicable to manufactures who combine
to crush outside opposition. Richard
Cooker, the Tsmmany chief, who is an
able lawyer, says Tammany has always
stood by labor and property against idle
ness and monopoly. The employers went
to Albany and got an anti conspiracy
law passed with the intention Of prohibit.
ing the boycott as a weapon Of warfare
by the trades unions.
This act defines conspiracy in a manner
that Furnishes severely three or four men
who combine to drive another man out
of employment. but its provisions are ap-
plicable to three or four manufacturers
who conspire to prevent their competi'
tors from doing business. Tammany
means that the law shall have enforce.
ment in and direction as well as another,
and has set out to break up all trusts
that now control commodities which are
necessities in the lives Of poor people.
Everybody who is not in those trusts
or proitting by their schemes to plumber
consumers, will wish Tammany success
in this great undertaking, and hope that
il will break up all combinations that
are making millionaires of a a few at the
expose Of the many.

A dispatch from salt Lake City says
DIR. r. H.. Elan, an old resident Of
White Pine, New, and for the past 16
years a resident of Pioche, was
drowned at Garfield Beach in Salt Lake

directly from San Francisco to return

out to Garfield this evening and went
bathing. He attracted no attention
till he began 10 float face downward,

TIrE DEcIDrNs STATES.

Political matters are beginning to
shape themselves go that some definite
idea may be gained as to the probable re-
sult Of the Presidential election. Any
candid man who will study the situation
carefully and without prejudice, cannot
helm but arrive at the conclusion that
the chances OF the Democrats are the
hest. The whole number OF electoral
votes is 40I-2Ol being necessary to q
choice. OF the AZ States there are none
absolutely doubtful except Indiana, New
Jersey and Connecticut. These have 30
electoral votes combined. New York is
conceded to the Democrats by every
well. posted political student-the sen.
timent 10 Cleveland's favor in that State
is growing in strength daily. Counting
New Works SO votes in the Democratic
column the total is lS9, against Isl for
the Republican -leaving out Indiana,
New Jersey or Connecticut. In their
computation every State is absolutely
certain to 90 Democratic, while the Re.
publicans are likely to lose from the list
California, Michigan, Wisconsin or
Minnesota. Such a revolution is not
probable, but it is possible. The exteme
high tariff position Of the Republican
party is very unpopular in the three
latter States. But, counting all these
States for the Republicans, making the
totals stand at lS2 for them and lS9
for the Democrats, with Connecticut,
New Jersey and Indiana as the final
battle ground, it is plaintobe seer that the
Democrats have victory within their grasp.
Indiana alone is enough, or Connecticut
and New Jersey, without Indiana. The
logic Of the situation is shown briefly.
The Democrats have lS9 votes about
which there is no doubt, and have only
2 more to secure. They can easily do
this from Indiana, l6 or New Jersey, 3;
Connecticut, 6-and they have a good
fighting chance for California, s, and
Michigan, Is.

NATURALIZATION OF ALIENS.

Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, has
introduced a bill to amend the naturaliz-
alton laws. 1t provides that no alien
shall be admitted to naturalization until
he shall have been a resident Of the
United States during the five years i'm
mediately preceding his application for
naturalization papers, nor until he shall
prove by two reputable witnesses that
during these five years hehas behaved as
a person of good moral character, and
shall also, in the presence Of the Judge,
speak, read and write the English Ian.
guage with such intelligence and facility
as to prove his capacity to transact ordi-
nary business in that language, and by
its use to become well informed in the
principals Of the Constitution and the
duties of an American citizen. No natu-
rallied person, the bill provides, shall
exercise the right of suffrage for one year
after receiving his naturalization papers.
The Judges are forbidden to try more
than twenty naturalization cases per day,
and false swearing in such cases is de-.
clared TO be sufficient cause for the
forfeiture of a persons right to suffrage.

Journal of United Labor: Alien
Landlord Scully is about to dispose oil

a law requiring aliens to dispose of their

ferred to sell his land. This man has
been carrying ON a sytem OF raek.rentine

This is the first time that an educational

Twain a degree Yale has proved that the
