had thrown up the sponge and passed

I thought would take rest and be

A Lesson That is Never Learned

The Lower California gold excite
ment is but repetition OF the lesson
that prospectors seem unable to
learn. Distance and difficulty
always lend enchantment to a
mining camp, and that the SIAM
pede was rounded up so quickly is
probably owing to the fact that
there were no hostile Indians TO
encounter while making the trip.
The same exhibit OF good rock
found on the hills near the Com
stock would scarcely have induced
a hundred men to walk a few miles
to make locations and work the
claims. In the gold districts of
Esmeralda county better rock is
found every day, and prospects,
such as would cause a wild rush to
far off and inhospitabIe lands, sell
dom excite more than passing re-
mark. The disposition Of the pros
pector is to move on to some other
place where he expects to find
mountains OF gold. He wants to
20 to any spot that is difficult OF
access, and he will leave a good
district whore there Is every chance
that he will find something good
that he may wear himself out
tramping over country that he
knows nothing about. He would
rather risk starvation in new
country than make an easy living
at home, and he will never learn
the lesson that has SO often been
epeated.-Enterprise.

RINGING TALK.

Judge Cunningham of the Circuit
Court of Conway Arkansas has no
gloves with which to handle politi-
cal murderers. His charge to the
Grand Jury contained the following
ringing sentences:
"You will have to investigate the
Clayton assassination, and whoever
aided and abetted, by word or
deed, in that cowardly butchery
should be dragged by the throat
to justice. They should not be
exempt from punishment because OF
any standing or influence they have
in the community. l do not know
who they are. | wish to heaven
that L did. 1 would tell you. But
mind you, political assassinaticns
do not originate in the minds OF
men in the humblest walks OF life.
Men who earn their living by the
sweat of their brow, whose lives
are poems of honor or industry. do
not find it in their minds and hearts
to conceive ASA ssination, but it is
conceived and planned by more
influential, fine haired gentlemen
who pretend to be respectable.
While the cowardly villain who
fired the qua that killed Clayton
should be caught and hung, the
main object of our search should
be the dastardly conspivators who
inspired it. Some men seemingly
want to apol ogize for, or extenuate,
the horror OF his murder on the
ground of politics. / tell you there
is no Democracy OF Republicanism
in murder"
The question now is, will the
Grand Jury have the sand to
investigate in the proper spirit.

accidents on the Forth Bridge.

A writer in The Pail Mall Gazette says,
that, including five drowning cases, the
fatal accidents from all causes in conaec-
ton with the Forth bridge amount to SO.
As regards those killed in the actual con-
struction of the bridge. there have been
"A lives lost, death taking place either at
the time of the accident or soon after.
The total number of accidents which had
occurred up to September, lSSS-mostay
in the four years beginning with Sep
TENDER, lSS4-was 543, of which the
greater part, of course, were of the de-
scription ranging from ''serious" to
slight" OF these 543 cases, 81 were
treated in hospital, and 400 at the homes
of the injured persons. The following
hairbreadth escapes are recorded: One
man trusted himself to work at height
of 1870 feet over the waters of the Forth,
simply grasping rope. His hands got
numbed with cold his grasp relaxed, he
fell backwards down, and down, into the
water, and he was fished up alive.
In another instance spanner fell dis

fall. Two of these men, striking some
portion of the work in their descent,
were killed before they reached the
water; one or two others who fell clear
of the girders were rescued from the
Firth little the worse for their fall and
immersion: two others, however, man

To effect their rescue was itself an I'M

actually persuaded the rescuers to delay

Strange Phenomena.

The imaginingS of the romancerS have
again and again been in time realized by
the discoveries of the scientists, and if
the Oriental idea, that nothing can be
fancied unless it really has somewhere
an existence, may be supposed to have
any foundation, it is to be expected that
in time many more of the wonders of
fiction will be brought into the realms of
sober fact.
A case in point is afforded by an ex-
pertinent tried at the hospital of the Sal
petriere. \ subject having been hypno-
TIED, the physician conducting the ex-
pertinent traced his name upon the pa
tents arm with blunt probe, saying to
him:

appeared.

THE action OF the republican club
of Laredo in interfering with nomi-
nations outside OF their district was
unfortunate and resulted in defeating
the very appointment it was destined
to serve. The Laredo club should
have confined itself to endorsing the
candidate for that customs district
and let the Brownsville district take
care of itself. Rentfro and Brewster
had settled their differences eight
months ago and into whatever agree
ment they entered it would have been
wise for their followers to acquiesce.
There must be harmony among re-
publicans in the shoe-string district
in order to strengthen the party along
the border.
