The Throne OF Iniquity.

Nations engaged in war do
not usually legislateuntilt the
smoke Of hattie has cleared
away and the roar of the
cannon and the rattle OF
musketry have ceased. But
in this case, like, Nehemiah
and his Noble band Of Jewish
patriots, we must WELD the
trowel with one hand and the
sword with the other while
we build the glorious temple
of sobriety. We must.legis-
late on the battle field. And
| tell you this is no mimic
fight-no holiday tourna-
ment.
The foe is formidable, vigi-
liant and willy. He is Argus
eyed and wields tremendous
money power. More than
seven-hundred millions annu-
ally flow into his exchequer.
Let US not underrate the
skill, the might and numbers
Of the enemy. Let every good
man and woman come up to
the help of the Lord against
the mighty. Curse We Me-
roz."
AT the battle Of Trafalgar
the immortal Nelson said to
his troops, England expects
every man TODD his duty to.

State do his duty and prohi

TO the l)EMoCR.fT:
Duringthp whole of rresi-
dent Cieveland's Aaministla-
ton, the national dei't de-
creased from eight to ten
millions OF dollars per month.
and Ill the obligations ofthe
Government were met; all
honest and deservingpension
claims were allowed and paid
with great dispatch, while
all vesand fraudulent clai
mants and combinations to
rob the Treasury were detec-
ted andexposed. Large sums
of money vas expended in
building up our decaying Ma
Wy. New and splendid ships
Of war built. and others left
in process of construction.
and a healthy, high toned,
honest and business-like at
mosphere prevaded every de-
paltment Of the Government.
And all the while, the money
in the National Traasul y con
stantly increased. Trust ma
nopolies, combines and syn
dicates, organized by lawless
corporations for therobbery
and oppression Of the poor
and toiling millions were bad
" denounced by an honest
and faithful Chief Magistrate.
Indeed it may be truthfully
said, that for the first time
in a quarter Of a century, the
cause Of the poor hard press
ed, and almost disheartened
farming and laboring classes
have had an advocate in the
Presidential chair. And the
great body ofthe people were
quiet, contented and happy.
How stands the matter now,
with only a little more than
six months OF Harrison:s Ad.
nlinistration completed
Commenced as it was under
such favorable conditions,
what do we find? The public
debt still decreasing? No
But we find, Notwithstanding
the immense taxation nov
I going on, that within the last
two months the public debt
has increased seven millions
\ of dollars. We find an extra

A Singular Case.

Yesterday . man named James Came
and his wife were arrested in Wells on
warrant issued by Justice Congsr, on .
charge Of drunk and disorderly conduct.
using foul and abusive language, etc.
These parties were taken before Justice
COnger who being in very poor health
declared himself unable to hold the
trial. Joseph Hall, of Wells, was ord
cred to take the prisoners to Elko and
he arrived here with them this morning.
They we're taken before Justice Henley
and the complaint was read by District
Attorney Love. to which the defendants
pleaded not guilty; and there being no
evidence Of any kind to show that they
were guilty, they were. Of course, dis.
charged from custody.
There 10 something peculiar about
this case, evidence of which is found in
the fact that tho prisoners were sent
'wn here for trial with no evidence
against them. Mr. Game claims that
the arrest was made to prevent him and
his wife from prosecuting certain parties
in Wells for grave crime alleged to
have been attempted during their brief
stay in Wells. The fact that a docu-
ment was prepared for tho signature Of
Game and his wife generating certain
persons from all charges of improper
conduct looks somewhat suspicious.
The document was not signed by the
parties. as they claim that these charges
arc true. We know nothing of them
nor whether there is any truth in the Z
, accusations; but il what they charge
be true the parties implicated should 10
! prosecuted to the full extent of the
law.
