GREAT as were the benefits which re-
suited to San Francisco from the wonder
full mining developments in Central
Nevada when the Comstock was struck,
the opening of the country between
Southern Utah and Los Angeles to rail-
road traffic will give to our city an
equally rich and far more permanent
mineral development than that which
lifted the Bay City suddenly into great
metropolis. The mining districts OF
Southern Nevada are very numerous,
and every range of mountains is one vast
bed of minerals. The ledges are exhaust
less, and the ores of a grade and
character that they can only be profit
ably worked by the aid of great sep.
arating and refining establishments,
which will necessarily be located here.
The manufacture of machinery for these
mines will give rise to extensive foundriee
and manufacturing shops here; and the
produce of our farmers and horticultur.
lists will be readily marketed in the nu.
merous centers of industry that will
grow up around the mines. We have in
the treasures of this extensive back
country the wealth and resources thai
will ultimately make Los Angeles one o
the largest sized cities in America.

A NUMBER of Pacific Coast Congress
men are set down in a carefully pre-.
pared list as surelto vote for Reed, Of
Maine, for Speaker. The names men.
toned in this State are De Haven,
McKenna and Morrow. We cannot con.
ceive how any Congressman from this
Coast can be true to his section and vote
for Reed. 1t is we'll known that Reed
was a persistent opponent of the River
and Harbor Appropriations bill at the
last session, and that he is a mono.
metalist on principle and opposed legis.
lation in favor Of silver. These two
objections ought to be final against him
with California Representatives, espe.
cially as the Speaker of the House can 80
shape the committees as to render legis-
lation upon these important subjects
abortive. Vandever, being a man Of
war, goes in for Cannon.

NEW YORK, November 14.-In the
American Baseball Association TODAY
balloting for President was continued
during the greater part of the day. Won
Der Abe remained firm. At o,clock
Byrne, OF the Brooklyns, and Stern, of
the Clncinnatis, announced the resipnc.
ton Of those clubs from the asso.
citation. The delegates OF the Kansas
Oily and Balin ore clu os ret red from the
room at the same time, and Won Der
Abe remained master of the situation.
He accepted the designations of the two
clubs, but postponed the election Of a
President of the association until to-
morrow morning.
The seeded clubs then made applica.
ton for membership in the League. The
League convention received their appli-

DENVER, COL, November 14.-The
silver convention adjourned this after
noon. The only business done at the
meeting in the morning was the adoption
Of series of resolutions. Over some OF
them there was considerable wrangling,
but finally they were unanimously
agreed upon. This afternoon perma.
nent organization was formed, which
will be known in future as the Colorado
Silver Association. Hon. III. A. Tabo,
was made President, and Vice-Presi
dent was chosen from each county in the
State.
The preamble preceding the resolu.
tions goes on to state that 1t is the opin.
ion of the people that tho demonetiza-
ton of silver sixteen years ago by this
country and foreign powers was the re-
suit of conspiracy OF the few against
the many, of the creditor class against
tie debtor class, of the consumers agains.
the producers, of the idlers against the
workers; that since the time mentioned
the period has been marked by con-
stantly declining prices of staple com.
modities and Of all the products of the
farm and shop, and also taking from the
producer 80 per cent, of their gross pro-
ductions; that this condition Of things
has now been definitely traced by the
most careful and reliable observers of
tho world to the destruction OF more
than one.half of its standard money,
thereby increasing the use and demand
for gold; that efforts to remedy this ill.
timed action have been met with predio.
tionH Of evil to the people and to the
nation.
The declarations then are IN sub.
stance: That the time has fully come
that this can only be done by restoring
the system of metal money coinage in
effect prior to 1878. which in the past
has proved so beneficial that Congress,
upon assembling, should pass an act for
the remon @ ization Of silver. and for the
free and unlimited coinage of the same
that until such time demand is made
for the coinage of $4,000 per month
in accordance with the Bland
bill; that the time has arrived
when the United States can lead
the way in tho matter of free and unlim.
tied coinage, and that by 80 doing it will
increase the prosperity of its people
that the present stringency Of the money
market in connection with the low price
for all the products of labor, is convinc
ing evidence that the money volume has
not expanded with the increase in popu
lation; that the pc eople generally insist
upon the enforcement of these last de-
mands.

WE HOPE that the announcement is
true that there has been no sale of the
3-year-old filly "sunol" to Robert Bon.
ner, and that the wonderful flyer will
remain in this State. Bonner is selfish
fellow who buys fast horses to be used
solely to crafty his own personal pleas
ure. He affects to take credit to himself
because he will not permit any OF his
horses to be entered in regular races.
He bought "Rarus," "Dexter" and
Goldsmith Maid" and at once retired
them from the turf. He reminds us of
some of the old exclusives who filled
their private galleries with renowned
pictures for the qualification of them
selves and their intimates. The public
were rigidly excluded from the enjoy
ment of seeing them. To cell great
horse to Bonner is like immuring a
beautiful woman or divine singer in q
cloister. If Bonner's ideas upon racing
prevailed generally, there would be an
end to the breeding Of fast horses, be-
cause their sale would be confined to a
very narrow circle of BUYERS, who
would depreciate their selling value to
the level OF common hacks.

Hcw to Hang a MAN In Print,

A suicide in church!
The missionary meeting WAS over. In
the dim light of one or two gas Jets John
Robinson, the sexton, stood watching
the congregation depart. The last one
had hardly passed out OF the door when.
with sigh of relief, he closed and locked
1t. Then he got chair and piece of
clothes line. Taking these with him. he
went up to the gallery and climbed to
the back of the organ loft, through which
the solemn tones of the noble instrument
had hardly ceased reverberating.
In the gloomy half light he climbed
upsn the chair. Then coolly and care.
fully he proceeded to tie one end of the
rope about bis neck the other end he
fastened to a rafter overhead. All was
perfectly still. The flights flickered in
the body of the church below, For a
moment the man stood motionless. A
tug on the rope proved that his work was
we'll done then he put his hands in his
pockets. Suddenly the awful stiffness in
the empty church was broken, There
was crash that went resounding through
the echoing building.
Then all was silent again.
All was silent and etill save that awful
thing, swayipg, twisting, swinging back
and forth in the gloom Of the organ loft.
1t was a horrible death. Slowly the
man choked and strangled. His face
became black. His tongue hung out of
his mouth. Convulsively his body shook,
straighteDed out and doubled up again.
Then at last death came. It was q re-
pulsive, revolving object that hung there
all hight In the barely distinguishable
light. Philadelphia Item.

A Duellstss Romance.

romance in real life and one of unusual
interest was developed here today, when

him to duel. The combat occurred
next morning. Pistols were used and
Won Wandel was shot throught the heart

THE sporting world is engrossed with
the astonishing outcome of the fight be-
tween Jackson, the colored heavyweight,
and Jem Smith, the champion of the
English ring. Such a thing Was never
known as transpired in London at that
"mill." An English champion to be
"doubled up" in the second round by 8
new man is unprecedented, and Jackson
jumped into worldwide notoriety at
bound. Jackson's performances in San
Francisco before he went to England
showed that he was possessed Of extra
ordinary pugilistic qualities, but no one
dreamed he could get away with such an
antagonist as the English heavyweight
in so ehort order. Now that he has 30
.ignally proved himself, there is strong
desire among his hackers to have him
meet Sullivan. The announcement by
the Boston bruiser that he has waived the
colored line and will accept challenge
from Jackson, has put "the fancy" in q
ferment of excitement. If these two
noted gladiators come together the ad-
mirers of the "nople art" will be in
ecstasies. Jackson, it is we'll known, is
anxious to fight the Boston invincible for
personal reasons. When Sullivan de-
clared that he would not go into the
ring with colored man, he accompanied
the refusal with an outburst of insulting
epithets which were carefully reported
to Jackson, who was greatly incensed
thereat. So that if he meets the Boston
"slogger," he will not only 60 in for
glory but for revenge, and make it q
fight d P09trance,
