A Washington correspondent writes
the following to the San Francisco Ex-
am;ner: Senator Stewart oil Nevadsisthe
active Senator from that State. He has
half a dozen measures pending OF import
ance to Nevada and the Coast. Stewart
is a old hand in Washington, and knows
how to push things in committee aud u
Of it. He is getting on 10 years; his hair
and big white beard are getting winter
every day, but he has lost none OF his
capacity for work. Stewart is 10 longer
. very rich man, aud his family are there.
fore living here quietly and unostenta'
tiously. He is Chairman Of the Commit
tee on Mines and Mining, and a member
Of each Of the following: Civil Service.
Claims. Military Affairs, Private Land
Claims and Territories-all important
committees. He has several important
bills in the Senate. One Is to enforce
the present restrictions on Chinese immi-
eration; another TO establish . United
States Land Court, to hear all cases in
which the claims to public lands are dis.
puted by the land officials. He also has
q bill to encourage irrigation in the Pa
ci6c States, also to allow possessors OF
bullion, gold or silver, to deposit it in any
Mint, and receive in return its value in
coin certificates, thus practically estab-
fishing free coinage. The Senator has
also q bill which has passed the Senate,
and will probably go safely through the
House. to establish an Indian school at
Carson, Nevada. Stewart is indefatigable
in his attendance in the Senate, and is an
active and alert committeeman. He does
not often speak on any question. and
never unless he has something to say.

CusTOms.

The custom Of giving Easter eggs is
well known. In Tyrol it is q custom Tor
bands Of singers to travel about singing
Easter hymns. In England n OF the
ordinary customs was for the men to AXE
off the women's shoe buckles, which
would be given back again only upon re-
ceiving a present. In remote districts in
France the priest goes to each house on
Easter morning and bestows his blessing.
In Savoy and Austria a hundred eggs are
scattered upon the ground, and the couple
that dance the "egg dance" without
breaking any OF the eggs become afisnced
to each other. 1t is a common belief in
Europe that the sun dances or plays more
upon Easter than upon any day in the
year. In France it is q common custom
to send presents on Easter. An old Eng
lish custom was running q race for q
tansy cake on the first Monday OF Easter.
Another old English custom consisted in
taking 3 ball to church, and bishops, deans,
choristers and members Of the congrega-
ton took part in throwing the ball from
one to another inside the church. A
common custom in Germany is for the
parents to place sugar eggs among the
real eggs in the nests and let the chill
dren find them.

POOR GENERAL GRANT.

The troubles of the later years of Gen.
eral Grants life still pursue him. From
the day he went to New York misfor.
tunes multiplied in his path. His inan.
cial operations with young Ward brought
disaster and ruin upon his family. Then
came the incurable malady which carried
him to his grave. After that came the
unseemly quarrel over his funeral expen-
SEES. New York would not yield his re.
mains to the Nations Capitol and later
on disputed the bills for his burial. Now
comes General Badeau claiming that he
participated in the authorship of the
Generals history Of the war, and demand
ing from the family a share of the profits
realized from the sale Of the book. The
Grants Indignantly deny that he was
anything more than an amanuenses and
sternly refuse to recognize his claim. Ac-
~cordingly General Badeau has brought
suit to enforce his demand. OF course q
suit at law will mean more or less dis
credit thrown upon the ashes Of poor
General Grant, whose greatest weakness
in life seemed to be the calling around
him Of some Of the most shameless and
ungrateful scamps that this country has
ever known. While it may be said of
General Grant that he was the greatest
General Of modern times. it may be also
t~ruthfully said that his Judgment of men
in civil station was that of q child.

THE CARLIN REsERVArroN

The telegraph announces that the Car
lin Military Reservation in this State 10
to be thrown open to settlement. About
ten years ago the Government set apart
a tract of land in the vicinity of Carlin
for military purposes. At that time IL
was in contemplation to abandon Camps
McDermot and Halleck, and concentrate
all Of the United States troops in Nevada
at one post OF the line of the railroad.
Carlin was selected as the spot, and for q
long time there was talk that q decent
military establishment would be built up
at that point in our State. Why the idea
was given up we are not advised, unless
it was that Indian troubles in this region
went out Of date. But in the meantime
the land remained set apart for Govern
ment use and could not be touched by
people desiring to purchase and occupy
it. The case remained thus until re.
Gently, when Senator Stewart, having
his attention called to it by q gentleman
of Eureka, took steps to have the land
again thrown open to settlement, which
the telegraph informs us has just been
done. The action was proper enough.
If the Government has determined not
to use it as a military reservation it is
just as well that actual settlers be given
a chance at it. Nevertheless we should
have been glad to have seen at least one
frst-class military post in our State. We
have never been able to see as much dan.
ger to the liberties of the people in this
country from bayonets as some people
seem to fear. There is more danger with.
out them.

Sacramento Bee: Secretary Villas was
evidently innocent of the ways Of the
land thieves when he ruled that q man
need not remain on Government land the
entire five years before he gets q title to
it. The land.grabbers never have gone
to that trouble, and the only difference
to them that the Secretary's ruling can
make will be that they will continue to
steal with some show Of official sanction,
where they used to do it in spite of Off
cial opposition. Still, it must be said
that the theory Of Mr.. Villas is straight
enough. Under his ruling a poor settler
can leave his presumption long enough
each year to earn money to improve it.
The l~and.robbers, however. will be the
chief gamers.

THE CARSON MINT.

The people of Nevada will be glad to
learn, as the Washington dispatches
state. that the Carson Mint is to be kept
in full operation. The usual appropri.
alton is to be made, and Director Kim.
ball says the Mint will be kept going as
long as there is anything for it to do.
We are glad that those in authority at
Washington are beginning to show a
little sense on this subject. 1t may also
be remarked in this general connection
that the suspension os work at our Mint
in the first place was largely the fault Of
Nevada mine owners. For years bullion
produced in this State has been shipped
right past the doors Of the Mint to refin-
cries in San Francisco. Some of u lar
gest bullion producers have not had a
dollar coined at Carson in ten years. The
Government is not going to keep our
Mint fully equipped for mere show. 1t
must be furnished with material to run
on, or the necessity for its existence will
disappear. We can help ourselves by
helping the Mint to keep in motion.

ruE NEw CHINESE TREATY.

Secretary Of State Bayard has lately
concluded a treaty with the Chinese Min
ister at Washington whereby il is pro-
posed to permanently exclude Chinese
coolies from this country. The Republi-
can papers on this Coast assail some OF
the provisions Of the new treaty. and
even 20 30 far as to accuse Secretary Bay.
ard Of purposely playing into the hands
Of the Six Companies. Such vile trash
is unworthy of any journalist claiming
to be a gentleman. 1t is the dirtiest,
~scrubbiest warfare ever resorted to by
any set Of men for low down partisan
purposes. The new treaty may MOI be
perfect, or what it should be, but to init
mate that Mr.. Bayard is pro-Chinese is
as malicious a Islander as was ever uttered
by any lying scoundrel in this world.
While a Senator. Bayard was always the
friend Of the Pacific Coast on the Chinese
question, and his votes on the Restriction
measures are every one Of them recorded
on the right side. Bayard voted with
the Pacific Coast, while Arthur vetoed,
and Sherman and Hawley and Edmunds
and Allison and Hoar and Ingalls,, and
all the rest OF the Republican Senators OF
any note voted with the Chinaman. Thu
is the record as it is made up, and no
man with the slightest regard for the
truth Of history will dispute it. But these
lying editors are simply trying to deceive
the public for partisan ends. They know
as well as any one knows that the Chi
nese are not to be kept out by a simple
treaty. A treaty is not a self-acting and
q ~self.executing thing. Congress must
pass laws to enforce it. The treaty
merely 6xes the limits within which we
may legislate with the assent and con.
currence Of the other country. Mr.. Bay.
ard has secured the consent Of the Chi.
nese Government to exclude coolie labor.
ers altogether from this country. We
never had this right under the former
Republican treaty. When the Senate
shall have ratified the new treaty it will
be in order for Congress in pursuance Of
the same to pass a law containing such
provisions and regulations as will effec-
tually and permanently close the doors.
The new Democratic treaty is a vast i'm.
provement on the old Republican instru.
ment on the same subject.

CHOICE.

Ex-senator Conkling has lately allowed
himself to be interviewed touching his
choice for the Presidency. He declares
himself without personal ambition in pol
itics, but says be is still a Republican in
principle, and is especially DESTROYS Of
the success Of his party whenever it shall
place proper persons in nomination.
Speaking of Mr.. Blaine and his letter Of
withdrawal, he accepts the latter as in
good faith, and says the man of Maine is
a shrewd politician but in M sense o
statesman. Mr.. Blaine's opinion Of Mr..
Conkling was recorded years ago in his
celebrated Turkey Gobbler" speech.
And just here we may remark that that
speech was an unfortunate incident in
Mr.. Blaine'e public career. Had he never
made it he would to-day be President Of
the United States, in all human proba-
bility. Indeed it is more than likely that
he would have been the nominee Of his
party, instead of Garfield, in 1880. It
was Conkling's opposition then, throwing
the immortal BOG solid for General Grant
for third term, that defeated him. But
to go back to Conkling's choice in the
coming race. He indicated that General
Sheridan was his first choice and after
him Judge Gresham. He thought all
factions in the party could be brought
into harmony on Gresham. When asked
about Allison, Of Iowa, he said Allison
could not carry New York. He said but
little about Sherman either way, but in
timated that he would be found weak in
the West, and especially on the Pacific
Coast. There is one self.evident thing
all the way through in this interview Of
the New York ex-senator. Complete
harmony in the party, from his stand
point, means the taking OF a man as a
Presidential candidate who was not pro-
nounced in his advocacy of the election
of Mr.. Blaine in 1884. 1t is recalled in
this connection that Judge Gresham was
at that time President Arthur's Postmas-
ter General, and it is known by all men
that the Arthur administration not only
did not turn q hand to help Blaine, but
absolutely skulked in its tent in a very
indecent sort of way. 1t is barely pos
sible, therefore, that Conkling is for Ores.
ham now because Gresham was against
Blaine then. But no man who was not
loyal to Blaine in 1884 will stand much
show of success before the people in 1883.
1t may be Blaine's friends who will do
the knitting in the next contest.

rnErNrERNATIoNAL FoorRACE

Now that all of the particulars are to

agree that after the fourth round Sullivan
could get no chance at his feet antago.
mist. Up to that time he had sent Mitch.
ell sprawling every time he got a lick at
him. From this on, Mitchell adopted
the tactics Of running away. and the re.
suit showed that he could out run
Sullivan. This is all there was of the
so-called fight. 1t is as apparent as any
thing can be, that had Mitchell stood be-
fore Sullivan in any sort Of give.and-take
fashion he would have been cleaned out
and literally done mp before the tenth
round. But he preferred to run rather
than stand up and fight, and at the end
Of three hours he had rnn our John out
of wind. The details Of the mill show
that every time Sullivan approached him
Mitchell dexterously lodged, and
strsightwsy made tracks for the other
side of the ring. Every round after the
fourth was a repetition Of this game. To
call the fight 3 draw under the circum-
stances is to let Mitchell down very easy.
Sullivan went over to fight, not to run a
foot race. He may not be able to stand
a long distanced run, but Mitchell, nor
no other man living can stand before
him in a square knock down fight for one
hour, much less three.

u ONE FLAG.

Mayor Abram. s. Hewitt Of New York
refused to allow the Irish flag to be
hoisted on the public buildings Of that
city on st. Patrick's day. Necessarily
his order in the premises got him into q
hornets nest. But the Mayor does not
apologize or back down worth q cent.
He is out in a letter to the New York
press justiiying his course and declaring
that this country knows and will tolerate
but one flag. II is his business, he says,
both as a citizen and as a public official
to uphold the dignity Of the American
flag, and he proposes TO do it at whatever
sacrifice. He intimates quite strongly
that there has been too much monkeying
already with foreign Gags in this coun-
try. At the same time he feels and ex-
presses deep sympathy with the cause Of
Home Rule in Ireland. He does not draw
the line against the flag because Of oppo.
sition to the cause which it represents,
but because he wants but n flag to float
over the people Of these United States.
He will equally object to all other flags
representing foreign sentiment. and or
CARNATIONS and leagues of whatever ms.
tionality. People may display these
foreign emblems over private residences
and in the streets as much as they please,
but they shall not be hoisted over any
public institution in the great American
city Of which he is Mayor. This is pretty
resolute talk from Mr.. Hewitt, and the
position which he assumes is very apt to
strike a responsive cord in the hearts Of
all Americans throughout the country.
The American flag is good enough to live
under, and to die under if its honor is

JUDGE RIsING,s GUESS.

Judge Rising of Storey and a gentle.
mar of Eureka were recently talking of
Presidential probabilities and possibili-
ties on the Republican side. Judge Ris-
ing is a pretty level headed man on all
current things, as well as being one Of
the very best and most popular Judges
in all this western world. The Judge
regards Mr.. Blaine as entirely out of the
fight, and thinks that neither Sherman,
Hawley, Harrison, Foraker nor Allison
will succeed in getting the nomination.
His guess is that it will go either to Sen.
ator Hiscock of New York, Ex-Governor
Alger of Michigan. or Bob Lincoln Of
Illinois. He did not indicate that either
Of these was his first choice, but he
thought the convention, unable to unite
on any one Of the more prominent aspi.
rants, was likely in the end, to drift
around to one of the three named. For
the credit of the Republican party and
the country, we hope the Judge is wrong,
for the three whom he names are about
the poorest sticks in the whole lot. But
we hardly think that Bob Lincoln need
be seriously considered by anybody in
connection with the Presidency. His
candidacy is the most supremely ridicu-
lous thing that has ever been preached
since the foundation of the Government.
Besides, the race Of young Grant in New
York last Fall showed conclusively that
the hereditary cock won't fight in this
oounfry
