MILLS

The great tariff debate opened last
week in the House. Mills led of on the
Democratic side and was followed by
Kelly for the opposition. They each
spoke, about two hours; Mills offhsud,
Kelly from manuscript. Perhaps no bet
ter speeches than these will be made on
either side. But the debate is to run
two weeks, during which time lbs mem
bers are to electrify the country. Then
will come the tug Of war in five minute
speeches in Committee Of the Whole.
Possibly a half dozen amendments will
be proposed to every one Of the 1000
items in the bill. 1t is in this struggle
that party lines will be ignored and local
interests assert themselves. Mr.. Mills
may not be able to recognize his measure
when it shall have run this gauntlet.
There will be enough opposed to any
tariff legislation to delay action, and the
friends Of the bill will be lucky if they
get it to q final vote before the dog days.

THE LOUISIANA ELECTION,

The Louisiana election last week was
a surprise to everybody. The State was
claimed to be close. There was a fac.
tional contest in the Democratic party
which. together with the proposition to
reduce the duty on sugar in the Mills
Tariff bill, was thought to place the State
in a very doubtful position, but contrary
to all estimates and predictions it went
IS, 600 Democratic on Governor. The
majority is unprecedented in the history
of the State for forty years for any party.
What it portends is self-evident. Loui.
siana had been regarded as one of the
doubtful Southern States in the Presi.
Dental election. This settles the status
Of all of them this Fall. And by the
way there has been more Democratic
than Republican voting in all directions
this year. The preliminary skirmishing
is all calculated to encourage the hopes
Of the final great battle in November.

not well do better than to select either.

Roscoe ConkIing.

Listen to the tribute of Judge c. @.
Goodwin Of the Salt Lake Tribune to the
memory Of ex-senator Roscoe Conkling.
II is indeed q poem in prose:
Gather near, Stslwartsl The most
august grave that ever the men of the
Empire State hallowed for one Of their
W sons, is prepared and ready to re.
ceive its occupant. The April buds are
bursting; the naples and elms are don
ming their garniturp Of green; the air Is
heavily freighted with one incense OF
spring; nature smiles-as might q loving
friend while watching a mother lulling
| her tired child to sleep-as the earth
| opens her merciful breast to receive and
| hush in everlasting rest her tired son. On
that soil he grew up; on that soil he
| learned the first lessons OF labor, OF pa
| triotism and truth; On that soil he
| caught the first inspiration that only
| brains and hearts without ~reproach have
q right to rule; on that soil he won mis-
6rst triumphs; when he went away it was
but to advance in worth and to achieve
| higher renown; when he returned there
was not q speck on, or dent in the shield
Of his perfect u~prightness. IL is most
meet that his last sleep shall be where

The Lyon County Times proposes Sena.
tor Stewart as a candidate for the Repub.

State has its favorite son, many Of the
favorites being dark horses, of course, and
Nevada has a right to speak its little
piece and make an entry. The Senator
would not be a dark horse long il he
came out as a candidate, and as Presi.
dent he would let the world know that
America is a self.supporting, self-assert.
ing, and able.to.take.care.o f. itself coun.

ests Of Nevada indicates the kind OF
Executive he would make, and his
thorough knowledge Of affairs would
give his administration a character
which would make it q salient period In

Silver State: Delegates to the State
Convention, which is to choose delegates
to the Republican National Convention.
were elected in many counties in Califor.

delegations were instructed to vote for
Blaine delegates to the National Conven-
tion, and in one county the convention
declared against Stanford for President.
II is evident that a large number Of Re-
publicans in California and other States,
do not believe that Blaine meant what
he said in his letter declining to have his
name brought before the National Con-
vention as a candidate for the Presiden.
tial nomination. While they idolize the
mar they do not believe what he says,
and now that death has removed Conk.

are confident that Blaine will enter the
arena. and gladly accept the nomination
for President should it be rendered him.
Perhaps they are right; possibly Blaine

But after all it begins to look that Blaine

simply to make things come around just
as they seem to be working out. The

and fred a shot which missed her per-

A gentleman from Virginia City
made the following statement to the

at suicide. | was passing the house in
question and saw the shooting. l saw
a man go TO the door and ring the bell

cited. A woman came to the door,
and pulling a pistol he fired a shot and
made off. | was not over twenty feet

thing. l did not know the man mol
the woman. l thought the row was

"Mr. Chauncey M. Depew." says the
Boston Herald, confirms what we said
OF him some time ago when he nnoun
that he is not the kind of man to appear
as a candidate for the Presidency in the
interest of another. Mr.. Depew will run
for himself before the Republican con.
vention if he appears there at all. He
has the prudence to think well Of Mr..
Blaine, and he is not himself a candidate
at all. We see no reason to expect that
the Republican party will select a better
fitted or a more fair.minded man for the
place than Mr.. Depew."

PROBA

A Washington dispatch Of the oath in.
slant says that one Of the most intimate
friends Of Mr.. Blaine said he did not
think candidates for the Presidential
nomination ought to be deferred from en-.
~desvoring to secure an organization for
themselves on account Of Blaine. He
ought to be taken at his word and should
be considered as not a candidate for the
nomination. He thought it would be
very unwise for Mr.. Blaine, under exist
ing conditions, to permit bis friends to
allow his name to go before the conven.
tion or accept the position even if nomin-
ated. To become in any sense a candi-
date now would justly make him liable
to the change Of inconsistency and add
an unnecessarily unpleasant feature to
the campaign. This statement was made
with frankness by the gentleman, who
ought to be in a position to know, and
is, perhaps, to be regarded as a final au.
thoritative statement that the rumors OF
Mr.. Blaine's candidacy is without foun.

SILVIA SaIted Mine.

The Supreme Court at Washington
has affirmed the decision Of the Circuit
Court of California in the case Of FL. M.
Yerington and the Southern Develop.
ment Company against Frank Silva.
The latter sold the Development Com.
pany mines in Inyo county. They did
not pan out we'll and the company sued
to recover the money paid Silva on the
ground that he had "salted" the
mines and gained money under false
pretenses. The Circuit Court held
that it was the business Of the
company to have ascertained the
true character OF the mines before max.
ing the purchase, and the Supreme
Court upholds that view OF the case.

SHERMAN

We note that many Of the Southern
States are electing Sherman delegates to
the Republican National Convention. He
seems to be about the only candidate who
has any special outside strength. The
rest have thus far developed only a local
following. Ohio the other day instructed
for Sherman with Foraker at the head
Of the delegation. 1t is noteworthy that
the Senator has a sprinkling Of admirers
in all sections except on the Pacific Coast.
1t is evident that unless something should
transpire to bring Blaine into the fight,
Sherman is to lead all competitors on the
first ballot; and should he be able to hold
his strength and gather support as others
drop out of the contest, his nomination
is not at all unlikely. At this writing

THE GREAT LODE.

We hear that many of the mines Of the
Coinstock are looking better now than
any previous time in ten or twelve years.
The bullion output is to be very large for
1883. This shows that silver mines are
not as easily exhausted as some people
are apt to imagine. In some parts Of
the world they have been worked for
centuries. Fortunes will be made On the
Comstock a hundred years from now.
So will all Of our Nevada mines continue
to yield away into the unseen future.
Some of our camps will pass through Pc
RODS Of depression, but they are sure to
revive again. The Comstock has been
regarded as dead q half dozen times, but
still it rallies, and this time with more
real merit, perhaps, than it ever had be-
fore. Tuscarora and Eureka have each
passed through like dark days, but both
are again showing great mineral wealth.
But the Comstock is the wonder Of all
mines Of which the worlds history fur
nishes an account. 1t is the greatest
from Biblical times down to the present.

Every Inducement for Grape CuI.
fure.


lure.
A celebrated v~ine-culturist in spend
ing a few days in Reno and vicinity,
made several examinations Of the soil
and moisture of the foot hills along the
Truckee, and came to the conclusion, SO
far as he could learn about the climate,
that they presented every inducement
for grape culture. The soil in many
places was composed Of a rich red clay,
resembling the famous adobe of Califor.
mia, in which most Of the California vine.
yards are situated, in other words q deep
black loan, in which anything would
grow. 1t is a singular fact that the
climate Of Nevada foothills is more equi.
table than that Of any Of her valleys, being
less subject to the rigors Of clold in
Winter, and milder in the Summer.
The cause of this is unknown. The In.
dams in early days invariably located
their Winter quarters in the canyons,
while now one can find wildfowers grow.
ing there, that in the valleys could only
be grown by artificial means. The rain
for countless ages has washed the rich
a~lluvial deposits Of the hillside down to
the bases, until here one can find the
most productive soil in the world. Coupled
with the fact Of the climates being more
equitable and the soil richer than that Of
the Nevada valleys, is the i~ndisputable
truth that where there is an inch Of rain.
fall on the plain, there are three in the
foothills. Furthermore, loan of the
mountains does not drink up the water
as fast as the soil Of the more sandy
wales, consequently one can never find,
beyond a depth Of perhaps an inch, q
total lack of moisture. Grapes are
grown with great success in many East
ern and New England States, where the
cold in Winter far exceeds that of here.
II would pay some Of the Nevada farm
ers, whose homes are situated in the
foothills, to make . careful experiment
with the vine, and there seems to be no
reason why the trial would not meet
with success. Nevada's richest land is
in her foothills, and il they could be util-
lied for this purpose the greatest possible
good would come Of it.-Nevada State
