MIR. DAVIS ON THE RACE

In a personal letter to Park Com

Hon. Jefferson Davis writes concern
ing race riots in Mississippi: The
tendency TO change seems to grow
upon the negroes with the indulgence
of their rights TO leave at will. The
accounts of riots in this State have
been greatly exaggerated. Though
il NAY seem singular, it is true that
race conflicts generally occur where
the negroes are few compared TO the
whites. and the personal associat'on
much closer than OF the I,I%anlationss
On our island We have 800 or boO

CONCERNING NEVADA.

This paper and many of the people whom
il represents have often been uniustly
accused of entertaining spiteful and I'M
friendly feelings toward the state of
Nevada, because, as it is alleged, PROPOSE
ton has been made and reiterated to re
store the former condition of things by
making it and Utah one commonwealth.
1t is very true that THE HERALD opposed
and will continue with all its strength to
oppose the reunion of the two sections. for
the simple reason that it would not be just
to us in this territory, where we are popu
lous, progressive, Democratic, measurably
free from debt and with our greatest great
ness yet to come; but no measure or quality
of spite or enmity has entered or will be
permitted to enter into the consideration of
the question. Nevada got along very well
without US in the days of its pros
perity and our adversely; we can
and will get along without it, now that our
positions are reversed.
The San Francisco Bulletin takes more
hopeful view of the probable outcome of
Nevada than most other publications do,
and this is well enough, too. Referring to
the fact that the prize at the California
state fair, for the best exhibi. of cattle,
was won by Nevada man, it concludes
that that state "has probably touched the
lowest point of depression. 1t has unde-
veloped resources. The million of acres
that will be made productive by irrigation
is not all the land in that state that will
produce good crops by long way. 1t is
rather so much which is prospectively to
be added to the productive resources Of the
state There is very large area Of grazing
land, which in former years has produced
some of the very best cattle that have ever
been sent to this market. They have been
sent down by the train-load, and the ship
ments have been made at handsome profit
to the cattle growers.
This is all very gratifying and we hope
it is all as good as pictured. Nevada can
not prosper too much or too rapidly to suit
us. We are even willing to behold the full
realization of all the glowing promises set
forth in the following from the same
source: Now the time is not far distant
when every acre in Nevada that can be
made productive by irrigation will be
turned to account by an increasing popula-
ton. Nevada has been the treasure state
of the union for many years. 1t is still
turning out millions. But 1t needs larger
area of fertile land. Like California, it
will one day be more distinguished for its
product of cattle, cereals and fruits than
for its mineral wealth. II Nevada had no
other dependence than her mines, there
might be some ground for dependency,
but it has large area of land which is
yet to be made fruitful and which will

reference to the country upon which it is
proposed to settle the Southern Ute Indians
now in Colorado. Judge HAMMoND's state
ment is plain and comprehensive, setting
forth the true situation.
Congress should do something in regard
to this matter, and do it promptly. Here
are sixty five families, in all perhaps $50
souls, who are in what might almost be
termed a deplorable situation. For ten
years they have been battling with for
bidding nature, fighting for an existence,
struggling for foothold, working for the
redemption of an uninviting region, and
wearing themselves out in an endeavor to
create homes and establish themselves
where they and their children may live.
After these long years of toll and suffering
and just as the people are beginning to reap
some of the fruits of their labors, the gov
eminent steps in and informs them that
the soil belongs to the nation, and
will probably be required for other
purposes than those to which 1t Is
devoted To show what this little community
has done, to illustrate how it has worked,
it may be stated that the handful OF people
have expended $27, 600 on roads, and 100000
in irrigation canals to convey water to the
! !, 200 acres of land brought under cultiva-
ton We may add to these sums perhaps
$4,000 for improvements in the way Of
! dwelling houses, barns, corrals, fences and
so on, all of which must be abandoned at
the command of the government.
1t would be an outrage to drive these
people away without compensating them
well for all they have done. They went
there in good faith, and good faith has
characterized all their efforts, and now the
nation should be just to them, if not gener-
Gus. 1t cannot be hoped even that any de-
gree of liberality will be shown, for Con-
gress, in such cases, is never actuated by a
liberal spirit; but as a matter Of fact, the
people who are to be removed from San
Juan to make room for the Indians should
not only be compensated for their improve
ments, but in the settlement of their claims
account should be taken of the circumstance
that public land is not so abundant as it
was ten years ago when the brave men and
women set out to make homes in that
region. Judge HAMMoND's communication
is interesting and being fair and truthful
statement of the situation. it should influ-
ence Congress in its action regarding the
disposition to be made of that country.

A GREAT VICTORY.

1t requires no special gift of prophecy,
prescience or second sight, or whatever
else peering into the future may be called,
10 enable one to read what is coming in
political circles in the United States The
electionJ in indianapolis on Wednesday
marked such a revolution in political senti-
ment as has rarely been witnessed in this
country, especially when it is remembered
that that city for half generation past
has been a reliable and unwayering strong
hold of Republicanism, and that it is the
abiding place of the head Of the administra-
ton and his chief legal adviser. To cut
down the administration majority was as
much as the Democracy had any reason to
work for or expect, and to make it a drawn
battle was all the victory which history and
the logic of circumstances seemed
TO proclaim as being within the possibili-
ties; but to 60 away beyond all these and
sweep the city like a bosom, carrying all
the principal offices and by such maiorities
as leaves no room for cavil or carping, is
an ,hievement almost worthy of ranking
in politics alongside that of LEoSIDAs at
the pass of ThermopylG in war. 1t is too
great to be fully comprehended by one
mental effort.
1t may be said that this is only munich
pal election and has no meaning beyond the
city's borders, and this, under ordinary
circumstances, would be statement pos
sessing some force and cogency. What
however, could and would be said if,
on straight issues, the Republicans
carried the city of New York on
purely municipal issues? Would not
every Republican community of any
consequence in the United States have
parades and music and Chinese lanterns
and speeches and all that! Yes indeed, and
well they might, for it would be an indica-
ton that they had the chief of the doubtful
states solid having captured its Gibraltar
Well, Indiana ranks second among the
doubtful states, and Indianapolis has been
the same to that party there that New
York city has been and is TO the Democrats
of the Empire state, and that the HOosier
Democracy in particular and the nation a
Democracy in general feel iubilant over the
result, is not at all to be wondered at
Coming so closely upon the verdict of
three of the new northwestern states, the
indianapolis victory has special and all
important significance. In the first place,
it shows that nothing else was ex-
pected. and in the second, that the
fight of 1892 will be, like all
its predecessors, made east of the Missouri
river. Again, it shows that the Demo
cratic party is united and determined as
never before, and in this view that the
Enop.VFps and MAuONRS NAV read some
thing greatly to their disadvantage if they
will but turn to and consult the writing on
the wall. Truly, it looks as if the turn in
the tide had come, as if the people had at
last commenced to realize that the self-im-
posed political martyrdom of GROVER
CLEVELAND was that they might be saved
from greater wrath to come. New York
and Ohio safely in the Democratic column
will make the picture about complete for
the present.

SETTLE IT.

Isn't it about time that the telephone
company and the street railway company
adjusted their differences regarding the
wiresl The turning Of the powerful cleo
trio current from the railway wires into the
telephone central Office on Thursday morn
ing, and the destruction of considerable
property, should convince both corpora
tions Of the necessity of doing something to
prevent these accidents" 1t is presumed
that it will cost as much 10 repair the
damage done in this occasion, as would be
the expense of making it impossible for a
repetition of the mishap to occur. The
public will endeavor to endure with heroic
ealmness the losses which the electric com
panies inf1ict upon each other, but the
damage attending this clashing of electric
currents is alarming people. One of these
days somebody will be using a
telephone when the wires come in contact
and then there will arise such a storm of
popular indignation as will result in the
protection of the public or the discontinue
ance of the telephone or the electric rail
way. We all know there is quarrel be-
tween the two companies, but what we do
not all know is which should do that
which is necessary to prevent the frequent
contacts of telephone and street car wires,
and the burning of telephones. Mani
testify it is the duty of somebody, and that
somebody should see that the work is done
before others than the disputants are made
to suffer In other cities there seems to be
practical harmony, and there is no reason
why the same should not exist here, save
the stubbornness or the ignorance Of one
or the other party to the annoying and ex-
pensive controversy.

The ADDRESS of General HORACE PORTER
at West Point, the other day, on the oc-
casion of the presentation by GEORGE w.
CHLDs of portraits of GRANT, SHERMAN
and SHERIDAN, is generally spoken of as a
mastery effort, and is receiving much
praise from the press. There was one
statement in the address which, in the
light of history, ought not to have been
made, or else there should be less said
about the alleged treason of certain per
sons 1t was that the military school was
1.-The spot where patriotism early formed a
stronghold and where treason's plots were
bafied.' A good many of the officers in
the confederate army were educated at
West Point, and resigned their commits
sions in the United States army because
they thought they were patriots. 1t only
makes matters worse now to call them
traitors, and at the same time boast of the
loyalty and patriotism inculcavated at West
Point
