TIE SILVER rARFY.

During the campaign the voters
OF Nevada had tue assurance from
the Republican press and the pub
lie speak Of the party
that in tio vent of Harrison's
election, TIL would be resump-
tion OF coinage operations at the
Mint. The voters Of the State
having every reason to believe
these assertions, replied by giving
Harrison the largest percentage cf
votes given by any State in the
Union. Since that time, the
Democratic organs have been
sarcastically calling for the Mint to
open, and been laboriEg hard to
convince the people that dust had
been thrown in their eyes, and
that the Republican friendship to
the white metal was a pretense
and sham.
In the midst of this endeavor to
misrepresent the party of silver
and progress, comes the announc-
ment that Secretary Window had
ordered the resumption Of coinage
at the Carson Mint. This struck
the Democrats like a thunderClap,
but it was not surprise to the
leading Republicans OF this State.
The Nevada delegation knew
before they left the Chicago Con-
veution THAI HARRISON was a friend
OF silver, and the silver men of
Colorado and other Western States
knew that the change from Cleve-
Land 70 Harrison meant that the
guerrilla warefase on silver would
cease within a reasonable time
after Hartison's inauguration.

stamp for the fight they promised
to make for silver, they have made
and won.
Not long ago, Geo. Cassidy, in
the Sentinel, assured the people
that he was for any administration
that befriended silver.
The arms of the Republican

to receive him, but he can come

A PEN PICTURE OF EUCA-
LEN.

Senator Lynch, OF San Francisco
has published a pamphlet in which
he paints the rascalities of the head
of the Democratic party in San
Francisco, Chris. Buckley, the
blind boss.
Buckley is painted in colors OF
striking naturalness. and a picture
which everyone recognizes to be alb
solutely true in all its loathsome
details.
The papers predict that the ex-
posure of the crooked ways of the
boss will result in his overthrow.
This is all humbug. The Demo-
cratic party is not in the habit Of
deposing its bosses because they are
rotten. Buckley is preclceIy the
kind OF boss the Democrats Of
California have been looking for for
years. He is a boss who gathers
Sll the spoils into one place and d.
vides them equitably with the
wolves who howl about the crib;
that is, he takes fifty per cent. for
himself, and gives the gang the bal
ance.
The Democratic party has been
for years seeking boss who did
not hog it all; the boss who makes
even dizzy will always get along
with the party, and he will not be
overthrow until he reaches out for
60 per cent. and gives the wolves
40; then his downfall is only mat
ter OF waiting for the next election.
Buckley is PROFESSIONALLY the
primest rascal that ever ruled a
municipality, but he is the typical
Democratic boss, suits his party TO
a dot, and fifty represents it.
The Democracy long ago gave up
as uncertain the idea of ruling
National politics, and circumstances
have massed the Bourbons in large
cities, where they combine for pur-
poses of plumber and prey upon the
municipal treasury.
New York, in its palmiest days |
of corruptness, wasn't marker to
the pestilential political methods
that now rule San Francisco.
Tweed, Connolly, Sweeny, and |
men OF that iik, were all wiped 4r +
dying in iails and foreign lands /
They were cverthrown because the
Democracy got sick OF the 60 and
40 per cent. divy. Buckley will
not be overthrown in San Francisco,
because he makes and equal divy.
4 Democratic boss can hold for
life as long as he makes an even
dizzy with the gang. Buckley is too
sharp to take any mean advantage
OF his following, and will not be
endorsed.

The Theory of I)cw.

1t is ROW held by the best physicians
that, instead of falling from above, the
dew arises from The earth. The generally
received opinion that the dew is formed
OF vapor existing nj The time i'm the at
mospherc must he given up for the cs,ab-
lished fact that the vapor which arises
from the heated earth, is trapped 10y the
cold surface earth. Besides, when we
Imagine that on Il cool evening after n
.sultry day i'll summer, our feet are being
wet by the dew on the grass. we make a
grave mistake. For that moisture on the
grass is not dew at all, ii is false dew
in reality the iranspircd hnmor of the
plants. The drops nj the tips which
glistcn diamond-like, are no, dew: close
examination shows that crystalline
spheres are all situated III the points where
the veins of the leaves cut the outer
edges. These drops only give evidence
Of the vitality Of the plant.
The difference between the true dew on
the grass and the eXudcd drops through
the veins from within the grlss can be
easily distinguished, for the formcr is
distributed all over the blade in a moist
film, whereas the latter are of some size,
and are situaicd near the tips of the blade.
Altered then is the meaning Of the line:

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Riches are never out of style; poverty
Is never in.
The more we study, we the more dis
cover our ignorance.
He who has no silver in his purse
should have silver on his tongue.
One mans charity for auothers faults
is sometimes II cloak for his own.
All men have pccularitics, but they are
worse in some mcn than i'll Others.
Every duty which is hidden TO wait
returns with seven fresh duties at its
back
When n man wants to find fault he will
do SO II he has to bc up MI night looking
for it,
AS man gets older he knows more, but
he does not get any more attractive in
learning it.
Most people would succeed in small
things if they We're not troubled with
great ambitions.
In finding enc man who can be depended
upon, you will become acquainted with II
thousand that cannot be.
The man who boasts that he is ready
to shed his last drop of blood is apt to be
particular about the first drop.
When bigger man than yon are kicks
You the most digniticd thing to do is to
treat HIM with silent contempt.
Some men pay their debts only with
the intention of dccciving the creditors
into trusting them for larger ones.
Seest thou man rosy in his check,
joyful in spirit and amiablc in all his
waysf lie hath taken Il good cook to
wife.
BE it true or false, what is said about
men often has as much influence upon
their lives, and especially upon their 1c;-
TIMES, as what they do.
Camdor is the seal of noble mind, the
ornament and pride Of man, the sweetest
charm OF woman, the scorn of r;lscals and
the rarest virtue of sociability.
Discretion OF speech is more than
rloqucncc; and To speak agrccably to him
with whom we deal, is more than To
speak i'll good words, or in good order.
