GOOD lRRlGArION SCHEME, TOO.

There is consid cradle speculation as to
whether or not The Sutro Tunnel Company
proposes to extend the tunnel through the
hill, and it seems to be the opinion of min
ing men and miners that it would be paying
proposition, as the formation is such that IN
dictates that large bodies of ore would be
struck. This ground has not been prospect
ed except by few gopher holes on the sur.
face, and on the other side of the ridge some
very valuable ore has been found at very
little depth. One of the obstacles to be en-
countered in running through this ground, IL
is claimed, will be the water; but the tunnel
is large enough to drain all the water that
would be encountered. and more too, prob
ably. OF course the amount Of water com.
ing from the ground would not be Sufficient
to lrrigate any great quantity OF land, but
should the tunnel come out on the other side
At point low enough to tap Washoe Lake,
considerable quantity Of water could be
run through to the barren land on the fiat
below Sutro. There are many hundreds Of
acres Of land east Of the town OF Sutro that
could be placed under cultivation if water
could be obtained for irrigation. This land
lies considerably above the Carson river,
and water could not be taken on to it from
the river except at an enormous expense.
Should the tunnel be extended, and should
it tap the lake considerable flow of water
could be obtained; enough, probably. to IT.
rigate several hundred acres Of land, there
by making two or three valuable small
ranches. There would be no trouble in car
rying the water through the tunnel as the
boxes for drainage are large enough to carry
quite good-sized stream. This would BE-
another source Of income to the Tunnel Com
pany. or course it would be but small
item as far as the price Of the water is con
cerned, but it would improve and make
salable a number of acres Of land belonging
to the Company.

A CHINESE ex Ambassador at Wash.
ington is having considerable to say about
expelling Americans from China, and is also
remarking that the American Navy and
Army is Of very little consequence. This is
rich. But i, serves Americans right to hear
such talk from such source, for ever allow
ing the hethen TO land in this country. We
do not see that it would in any manner be
detrimental to the United States to have the
few hundred Americans in China expelled.
They are there to teach the Mongolians how
to build ships and make and operate machin.
cry, and to send them back here would only
result in loss to thar country. The Chi
nese are angry because Americans have
made laws to prevent the further immigra
ton Of coolies to our shores. All the use
China has for Americans is to learn how to
make and opero,e labor. saving machinery
so that they may become experts in manu-
featuring all kinds of goods, which they
can do al much less figure than Americans
can produce them for. China sells to the
United States about three times as much as
she buys Of US to say nothing Of the amount
she receives from her slaves in this country,
therefore it would not be policy for her to
provoke Uncle Sam to very great extent.
If the expulsion Of the six OF seven hundred
Americans from China would induce the
United States government to expel the two
or three hundred thousand hethen now in
this country, we should say 60 On with the
expulsion, and il war results China will be
taught that America can whip any nation or
the face Of the globe.

AMERICAN VINE STOCK ABROAD.

Regarding the value of American resistant
stocks in the French vineyards, writer in
one Of the leading journals of France says:
"It is the fashion to decry all things Ameri-
can in Europe, but there is one American
thing which even the most cynical European
cannot decry, and that is the American
grapevine, grated upon which the vines of
France have conquered the phylloxera. Not
only has the American vine helped the
French vine to get the better Of this destruc-
tive insect, but 1t has actually improved the
European varieties of grapes. M. Viette,
French Minister Of Agriculture, has returned
yards of Central and Southern France, and
has made report which is highly encour
aging TO his fellow countrymen. M. Vielte
declares that the restoration Of the French
vine by means Of the American stock is now
certainty, having passed beyond the field
Of experiment. The yield Of the new vines
is generally greater than the old ones before
they were attacked with phylloxera; and.
what is more, varieties which were not hardy
before, and could not be cultivated except
with great difficulty, now prove hardy on
the American stock. In the important vine
growing department of Herault the vine
yards are almost completely restored, and
in several other departments restoration is in
full progress The French wine harvest Of
the present year promises to be fine one
Perhaps the phylloxera is not the pest which
may have turned out, in the long run to be c
blessing"

THE Wesfcrn Worla, published at
Chicago, contains an exhaustive article on
the annexation to the United State Of all
the country in North America, including the
West Indies. Certain it is that natural con
ditions. mutual benefits, and the general
gravitation Of human affairs point to the
gradual absorption by the United States Of
all the vast regions on her northern and

THE GOVERNORS MANSION.

The report is current that the
present legislature may decide to
sell the Gubcrnatorial mansion at
Raleigh. We do not believe there
are bakers dozen of the members
of the Gen eral Assembly who would
vote to thus disgrace the State. And
we fully agree with the Elizabeth
City Falcon in saying:
It is sickening to hear persons
pirate about the new Gubernatorial
mansion being too grand, aristocrat-
ic and expensive. Why shouldn't
the Governor of North Carolina
have a grand home? He is chief of
a grand people. The State delights
to honor him. We have had enough
of this trucking to that miserable
Pedagogical spirit that prevails in
the State and which is encouraged
b men who should be ashamed OF
themselves. Finish the mansion,
furnish it and pay the Governor sal
airy enough to live like a gentleman
Every true-hearted Tarheel in the
State should be proud to see the
chief executive thus honored.

THE INAUGURATION BALL.

The Boston Evangelical Alliance,
composed of ministers of all evangeli-
cal denominations in Boston and its
vicinity, have met together and passed
mild protest against the Inaugural
ton ball. They ask that the commit
tee in charge of the social and festive
ceremonies on that occasion, out Of re-
spect to ''the well-known religious and
temperance character Of President
Harrison, eliminate from these festivi-
ties all those features that are immor-
al, and notably the purchase and use
of intoxicating liquors" All this is
very we'll, but they 60 further still.
They suggest that the idea of a ball be
abandoned, and that an Inauguration
reception take its place, as thing
more dignifed and more in accordance
with Christian principles.
The resolution was not passed with
out some show of opposition. The Rev.
G. III. Spalding was of opinion that the
ball twas merely social matter of no
particular consequence, and that the
religious people Of the country had
better leave it entirely alone. Anoth-
er reverend brother in the gallery con-
CURED with him and said "the ball
was not so black as it was painted"
Bot the resolution in its modified form
was adopted. The Springfield Repub-
lican asks why the ministers do not
take up the question of bribery and
corruption in politibs "instead of agi
tating their righteous souls over such
an unobjectionable and popular recep-
ton such as an inauguration ball real
ly is?" Why strain at this little gnat
and swallow that great camel? Why
are they silent in their pulpits while.
as Judge Gresham is quoted as saving,
"men of prominence and responsibility
raise large sums Of money knowing
the use they will be put toned who
deal openly in corruption one day and
90 to church the next?"

few of them who have acquired eny
exceptional local reputation. Gener-
al Longstreet is somewhat known
throughout the country, but gallant
soldier and worthy man that he is, it
would be miserable farce to put him

General Malone are prominent par

number of years, conceded ability,
valuable experience as politician, bis
great success as an organizer, and
being the foremost native Republican
