NOT SO FAST.

Under the above head the Carson
Appeal counsels the people Of Nevada
to "tread lightly" on the guberna-
torial boom, as it is rather early to
commence the work of making a
Governor. The article in question
closes as follows:
The newspapers certainly do not
want to boost into Office men who
deliberately ignore the laws whom
knitting the newspapers. We advise
the press OF the State not to indulge
in any indiscFiminate booming OF can
didates whom thej know nothing of.
Some of the most notorious humbug>
that ever held Office in this State owe
their nominations to newspaper
booms, and none Of them ever yet
failed to kick aside the ladder they
climbed up on. Go slow and don't
let cunning candidates "work" you.
The above was printed in Sundays
Appeal, and on the previous day this
partisan paper" published the TO-
lowing:
Should we ever again come before
q Republican State Convention as a
candidate and be defeated, and the
same Convention nominate G. G..
Stevenson, the Morning Appeal would
support him through tho campaign
and still keep his queer letter out of
the paws Of the Democrats.
All of which goes to show that the
Appeal holds party above principle,
and that it would support the worst
scoundrel in the State for any Office,
provided he were nominated by the
Republican party.

Federal attention to irrigation 10
not as recent thing us many sup
pose. Many years 40 Congress ay-
propriated sl50,0W to promote irriga-
ton in Arizona, and it was expended
by Geo. w. Dent, Superintendent of
Indian affairs for that Territory. We
don't know how badly the scheme
was affected by Indian troubles, but
in 1867 the Pima and Maricopa In
dams had Villages numbering 1900
souls on the ella River, prospecting
by raising wheat, barley, rye and oats,

OF irrigation were visible in the valley

WHOLESALE OPIUM FRAUDS
Immense Quantities of the Drug Import
ed Into The L nited States


The fact that the quantity of crude
opium imported yearly into British
Columbia from China has increased
from II 100 to l02, 900 pounds since 1878
has attracted considerable attention,
and with view to ascertaining how the
produc, of this crude article is disposed
of the matter is to be brought up in
the Canadian Parliament. 1t is an
open secret that nine-tenths of
the prepared opium produced
by the fifteen opium factories in Vic
torla is destined for and smuggled into
the United States. The object of bring
ing the question up is to ascertain
whether the Dominion government will
not impose a high or prohibitory duty
on the crude material to assist the
United States authorities in preventing
the wholesale fraud. One of the mem
bers from British Columbia says that
the Canadian officials had already
been instructed TO cooperate with
the American consul at Victoria in fol-
lowing up shipments from the factories
to their destination and in bringing the
guilty parties to justice. He saws that
it is impossible to estimate the magni-

have been traced, suggest that he is

9er mania. The post mortem examine
tion held on the body OF the Dundee
victim proved that the woman bad first
been strangled, and that her body had
been mutilated, the abdomen ..being
ripped open and the legs and arms
twisted and broken.
Bury says that he left Whitechapel
three weeks ago. He refuses to saw
why he left there, and acknowledges
that he had no business requiring his
attention in Dundee. He says that he
and his wife drank heavily last
night before retiring and that he does
not know how he got to bed. Upon
awakening. lie says, he found his wife
lying upon The floor with a rope
around her neck. Actuated by snd-
den mad impulse, for which he cannot
account, he seized the kni e and slashed
the body. Upon reason returning he
became alarmed and hastily crushed
the body into the chest in which it was
found, thinking to fly and make his es-
cape. He found, however, that he
could not leave his wife's remains, and
he finally resolved to inform the DO
lice.
The theory of the police officials is
that Bury's wife knew of facts connect
ing him with the East End atrocities.
and that she took him to Dundee in the
hope of preventing recurrence of the
crimes.
