THE LOTTERY BILL.

The Acknowledgement of the United
States has given an opinion that the Con-
gressional lottery bill is constitutional, and
that Congress may close the mails TO any
kind of matter bearing lottery advertise
ments A bill to put this embargo upon
papers has been reported favorably in
both houses. 1t may be taken as as
sured that the measure will pass. Still
there are assertions that a powerful lottery
lobby is as Washington, and that it intends
that the bill shall not pass. We do not
believe that the lobby can defeat it; the
Republican majority in Congress cannot
afford to reject so just measure. The
party has always been the friend of all
Just, progressive and feasible reforms it
has never been the party of obstruction
and will not line out retrogressive policy
at this late day. But the bill should moi
be sent to the President for his signature
until it is carefully examined to ascertain
if it is so worded as TO cover the class of
lottery advertisements disguised in reading
matter. If it does not, the bill will ac-
complish little. The sharp, INSCRIPTIONS
newspaper man will continue to advertise
the lottery in the form of interviews
stories, and records of what he will claim
are facts, such as tales Of lucky drawings,
what the number of the ticket was that
some poor man held that drew so many
hundred thousand dollars, where he pur-
chased it, how he proposes to buy again
for drawing of a given date, and so on
through a chapter of devices through
which the law may be possibly evaded if it
is not so drawn as to include all manner of
reference to lotteries that can be construed
into information of drawings, and invita-
tions to purchase or instructions where to
procure tickets.
We DO not recall in recent times any |
measure that has appeared upon Congress
sional calenders that has had such hearty
and almost unanimous approval by the
journals of the country. There IS not

TIE TICKET.

The Republican Convention has COM
pleted its labors and presented ticket
that commands the strength of the party,
and will have the respect of the people
irrespective Of political faith. We have
already referred to the head of the
ticket The judicial branch of the
nominations is especially strong in the
ability, experience and character Of
the men chosen for it the nominee for
Lieutenant-Governor is representative
citizen of the interior, and has served in
Legislative positions with credit, and led
his ticket as Presidential Elector; the
other nominations present themselves with
credit, and have personal as well as party
strength that insures their Endorsement at
the polls.
1t is unnecessary at this time to consider
the nominations in detail-their is time
enough for that. The campaign that
opened with the ratification meeting of
last night is to be a long one, long enough
to bring all the candidates under the fire
of criticism, and to afford the people ample
time in which to serutinize the fitness and
capacity of every nominee for the position
to which he aspires. There will be plenty
of such examination, and as matter of
course there will be the usual amount of
campaign SANDER and vituperation-a
weaponry that should not be employed,
and that is the bane of our political sys-
TEN. But the truth can be trusted to
justify the Judgment of the Convention.
There is every reason to believe that the
people will ratify it, and that California
will put the entire list Of Republican car
didates into official place, and seal the act
with heavy Republican majority.
A potent influence to that end is tie
character of the Convention that made the
ticket There has never been in assembly
in hisState party representation stronger
in the personnel of its membership; never
one that was so independent and fearless,
and that was so free from leading strings
or reins. These facts viii go long way
in securing the approval of the people at
the polls of the work of the Convention.
That assemblage will remain during the
entire campaign a tower of strength and
a shield against assault, but it viii be more
potential as an aggressive force, and this
fact will be more evident when the candi-
dates of the Democratic party are placed
in the field, and the influences behind both
tickets are compared by the people.

AN OLD FEUD.
1t Results in the Probable Fatal Shoot
ing of One of the Parties.

ing of One of the Parties.
MADEIRA, August 14th.-Jack McGuerk,
a resident of Mariposa county, was shot
yesterday afternoon four miles north OF
MADEIRA, by Howard Wells, veterinary
surgeon. The shooting was the result of a
feud of long standing, McGuerk having
been arrested two years ago as a partici-
pant in the lynching of Mexican boy
named Julian Ladou for stealing cattle.
Ladou was raised by Wells, who swore to
avenge his death. McGuerk was acquitted,
however.
This afternoon Wells and McGuerk
started out of town almost together, the
former bound for the Daulton ranch, and
the latter Tor Raymond's, along the same
road. McGuerk says he rode along be-
hind Wells over three miles, and finally
attempted to pass him. Wells pulled a
large Colts improved revolver partly out
of his belt. McGuerk told Wells he was
unarmed and didn't want any trouble. He
says they rode along quarter of mile
talking over their differences, when Wells
suddenly jerked his pistol and commenced
shooting. firing four shots. Two struck
McGuerk, one struck his horses jaw.
Wells then assisted McGuerk back to town
and surrendered to the officers. McGuerk's
wounds are likely to prove fatal.

ately sent deputy to Magdalena with in

All that is known of the case here is
that Turner and his son have q miIiG (

OF the line, and were in the habit of going
across with team aud working week or

PRESCOTT "a. IT,. August 14th.-Settlers
in the eastern part of this county have been
quite excited lately over numerous thefts
of horses. Last Friday an organized search
party found thief in Box canyon, where
he had several fine animals hidden. Sew
eral shots were exchanged, but the man,
who proved to be q resident of the COM
munity named James Wilson, escaped.
Tuesday morning he went to the ranch
of John Munds, and had two horses ready
to take from the place when Munds sur
prlsed him and ordered him to throw up
his hands. Instead of doing so, he at
tempted to draw pistol, but shot from
Munds' rife broke his arm. He then at
tempted to draw the pistol with the left
hand, when Munds fired again, killing
him instantly. Five horses were found
that had been stolen by him.

The Democracy of the Northwest has
diligently circulated the libel that the
Republicans of North Dakota are allies
of the Louisiana Lottery concern, and
stood ready to sell out to the infamous syn
dictate Of gamesters. A fortnight ago the
Republican State Convention of North
Dakota assembled and adopted the most
radical resolutions, by unanimous vote,
against the lottery and any and all propo-
sitions made by it now or that it may here
after make for State charter The reso-
lutions approved the action of Governor
Mifier in yetoing the bill last winter, and re-
buked the Legislature that was so weak and
purchasable as to pass a consenting meas
ure dictated by the lottery infamy. This
action by the Convention efectually gives
the lie to the libel uttered by the Demo-
cratic press and party concerning the
alleged alliance between the lottery and
the Republicans. In the meantime, the
Democratic Convention of Louisiana has
assembled and Endorsed the lottery, and adj
vised the people to shoulder it for another
twenty years. This stamps the party ss
the ally of the lottery, and there is no
escape from it.
