Benjamin Harrison in his note to a
little girl who presented him with a
knife speaks about going back to Indian
apolis to live. This was. perhaps, thrown
out as nourishment to the sarcasm and
satire of the Democratic press, but may
be our president is already growing
aweary of the arduous life of a chief
executive and longs for a return to a
quiet domestic life in the Hoosier city.
Meanwhile the laconic Mr.. Blaine smiles
70 himself and Grover takes another
cocktail to add to his exhileration.

A pre-holiday quiet was abroad in the
land last week, which does not signify,
however, that business was bad. On the
contrary the general tenor of reports was
by no means unfavorable. The volume
of trade continues larger than year
ago. The treasury made heavy dis
bursements, SO that it held $4,000, 900
less cash than week previous, and for
eign exchange advanced is during the
week. The general level of prices
scarcely changed.

When Colonel Murdoch saw that ne was
advertised to speak at Tomlinson's resub-
mission meeting in Topeka, he chartered a
special car and left for Galveston TeX.-A.

With the exception that Colonel Muir
dock didn't charter any special car and
that the party was made up and the trip
arranged for before the invitation to at
tend the Topeka was received, the fore
going is approximately correct.

The first thing congress wants to do

Inc Ilrst tnlng congress wants TO 90
when it reasselnbles, or as soon as the
commission makes it report, will be to
show the Cherokee Indians a thing or
two, the chief of which is that they are
not bigger than the United States gov
eminent. If that gang aren't poorer by
many millions of dollars than they
would have been by accepting the gen.
erous offer made them, the forbearance
of the government will certainly be more
conspicuous than its acts of simple JUS
tice TO its citizens. Our guess is that the
strip will be opened for settlement TO the
whites, or be given as an abiding place
for Indians now upon other lands that
will be opened as soon as they can be re-
moved

The morning after Christmas, says the

of drunkenness before the police court of

The Salt Lake Evening Times esti-
mates the crop of 1889 on irrigated lands
in Utah as being larger and of superior
quality, as is generally the case. The
various products for the year are relia-
bly, estimated in bushels as follows:
Wheat. 5000, 900; oats, 800, 600; barley,
100000; rye, 80, ZOO; corn, $50, 900; plums,
$4,000: peaches, 100000; pears, $4,000;
apples, 100000; Lucerne hay, 500, 900
tons; Lucerne seed, 100000 pounds;
potatoes, 10000, 900 pounds. 1t were in
deed a pity that such prospects for we'll
doing should have been so long hamper
ed by the blight of mornonism, or that
that incubus should be permitted to
longer fasten itself upon that fair land.
But it is rapidly giving place to decency
and true civilization, and ere long this
last conspicuous relic of old world hea-
thenism will become extinct.

Kansas senior senator Is not the only
trans Mississippi representative who has

with its reasons, and that's enough. And
the same may be said of the situation on

sehsolms,am and the Boy.

The following is sample OF Fri
day afternoon composition which
Adam Biglier wrote while boy at
school. We may add that Adam
Biglier was soundly thrashed for it:
ga schoolma' am is a verb, because
she denotes action when you throw
paper wads at the girls. Switch is q
conjunction and is used to connect the
verb shcoolma am to the noun boy.
This is compound sentence, of which
boy is the subject and switch the
object. First person, plural number,
hellish case. A schoolma'am is
different from boy; boy wears
pants and q schoolma'am wears her
hair all banged on the forehead. She
puts paint on her face and has some
big feller come and take her home.
Ma says a schoolma' am never gets to
be older than IS until she gets mar
ried. 1t takes two schoolma'ams all
day to cook dinner. Preston Times.

The salvation Of the c.mp.

Prospect Mountain is coming to the
front at all points, and competent
judges now predict that Eurekas old
prosperous days are to come again
through the yield OF this particular
section Of the district. There is no
other portion half SO promising. Prac-
tically nothing is being done by the
two great companies Of Ruby Hill
the Eureka Con. and Richmond-in
the nature OF development. These two
companies seem to be content to sit
still in combination and drag out of
the small miners Of the district the
last dime custom ores will bear even
down to the starvation point. They
have pretty nearly succeeded in starv-
ing out all Of the prospectors Of the
camp and themselves at the same
time. But this kind OF unholy alli-
ance and monopoly will not always
endure. Our district has merit, and
outside capital will yet be brought to
realization Of the fact. We need new
blood and new policies. Robbers have
had things their own way long enough
in this section. Prospect Mountain is
bursting with rich ore from one end to
the other, and it is destined at an
early day to make such boom here |
as We have never seen before.

An Unrueky Territory.

At an early hour last Saturday
morning fire swept through the busi-
ness portion OF Vancouver, Washing
ton Territory, destroying the principal
part OF four blocks OF frame buildings
lying east and west OF the main street.
The loss is between fifty and sixty
thousand dollars. Insurance small
and mostly in Seattle companies.
There were two fires during the night,
both undoubtedly incendiary. An
engine was sent from Portland and at
5 o'clock the fire was under control
and almost extinguished.

The GrowIers scored.

Under the head of Winners and
Kickers," Captain Townsend of the
Homer Index says; In all places
there are men who pretend to see
signs OF storm in a clear sky. They
look upon the dark side OF everything,
and are therefore most miserable,
therefore the happiest, when they can
conjure up some dismal bugbear.
They are the poison and bane of
camp. Instead OF getting out and rust
ling, and making an effort to lift them
selves out of the doldrums, they
whine around like hound with the
collie, bemoaning their own merited
fate and damning the luck OF every
body else. The barnyard OF hell is
full OF such cattle. They are not
worth roasting. If they don't like a
camp, make a bonfire Of your personal
plumber, il you have any, to light
yourself out OF it. II you can't be a
white man, get as near to the color as
you can.

MURDER AT mARrIs CREEK.



Edward Grimm, aged about "a or
% years, shot a man in cold blood at
Martis Creek, six miles east Of Truckee.
June 81. The murdered man worked
on the milk ranch of Frank Fisher.
After firing several shots at others on
the place Grimm left, following the
fiume down Martis creek in the diree-
ton OF the railroad. Constable Upson
OF Reno has been notified and given a
complete description Of the murderer.
Richard Hofenbeck was the name OF
Grimm's victim. Grimm had a fight
with boy and was running him
around the barn with a cattle whip.
Finally the boy got away, and several
OF the men who were attracted by the
fight came upon the scene. One OF
the men criticized Grimm's conduct
in whipping the boy, when Grimm
told them that he did not allow any
one to call him vile name. He then
added, Maybe one Of you fellows
want to call me the same name"
Hofenbeck who was one Of the party,
remarked that Grimm acted as though
he deserved the epithet. He had hardly
said the word when Grimm pulled his
pistol and fred two shots into Hofen-
beck. He then turned and fred at
another man standing about five feet
from him, whom he missed. He
next turned on young man and said,
q Maybe you think l am one," and
fired without hitting him.

THE Great Tunnel.

Prospect Mountain tunnel on the
west side is one Of the great mining
enterprises OF this district. 1t is in
well along the crest OF the mountain
and has alreoIv developed some re-
markably fl - .eders and stringers of
ore. There mas been little drifting
done away from the main line OF the
tunnel. Lately gold bearing ledge
was cut which yields assays from 5000
to 81, 900 TO the ton. There seems to
be a good strong body of ore rich in
gold. There is no question that there
are valuable mines in the immediate
vicinity OF the tunnel and which can
be worked through it. Recent devel-
opments m fact bave given Eureka a
brighter outlook than the old town has
hitherto enjoyed for years. 1t is al
most an assured fact that we are going
to have great revival and upheaval
in the mining interest here in the near
future. A good many very important
things are just in the incubating stage.

evening. A large audience greeted
the two young lady graduates. The
exercises opened with music and sing
ing. The essays by the graduates
Miss Anna Young and Miss Fannie
Steler-were well written papers, well
delivered, and were heartily received
by the audience. Principal Monroe,
after having presented the young la
dies with their diplomas, made a
lengthy and feeling address. Miss
Gertrude Edmund, assistant principal
OF the school, recited Poe's Raven
and Alasca," which were highly APP
preciated, and demonstrated that the
lady was well up in rhetoric and elo-
cution. The exercises closed with an
address to the class by Judge Fitzger-

by applause. The Star Band execut-
ed some of their best pieces during
the evening, which were excellently
