The Wrecked Snow Plow.

Under date of the 9th instant our
Wells correspondent gives the follow
ing particulars Of the accident to the
snow pillow near Pequop, by which
VIM. II. Tiff was killed, engineer
Stokes scalded and brakeman Coker
badly cut and bruised:
"They were unable to see ahead
and ran into an embankment of snow
eighteen feet deep. Stokes and the
dead fireman were brought here. An
inquest was held before acting Coro-
ner VIM. Conger, and the verdict was
that deceased's name was William H.
Tiff, aged about q years, unmarried,
native of New Jersey, aud that he
came to his death by railroad acct
dent near Pequop, Elko Co., Nevada,
while in performance of his duty as
fireman on the Central Pacific Rail
road. Deceased was one of the 20"
stokers and has been running on this
road since the great strike. He was
fearfully scalded by escaping steam
which blew from broken guage .di-
rectly in his face. .E
"Stokes is under the care of Doctors
Meigs and Petty and is doing as well
az could be expected"

From Wells.

Our Wells correspondent writes
this morning as follows:
"The Union Pacific rotary cleared
the Salt Lake Division OF snow yes
terday. 1t was two and a half hours
clearing the Montello and Pequoo
mountains, a distance Of ten. miles,
which was continued drifts from two
to fifteen feet deep, and the snow was
frozen 30 it could not be shoveled.
1.-THE east bound mail and passen-
ger train which has laid here for the
past three days left for Ogden last
night. -
Everything indicates another
storm this morning, in which case
the Pequops will be closed again.
The rotary left Wells for home this
morning. There are 285sn shovel
ers here. ij 's..,f.t,
Reports from the country are that
stoekmen are feeding limited amount
of cattle with limited amount Of
hay. All stock not fed are dead and
their carcasses are covered up. The
road to Ruby Valley is in good, pass
able condition, parties making the
trip easily in two days. The stage to
Cherry Creek makes the trip to that
point and return in eight days" D.,

No mail again last night, and the
task of getting out daily paper with
out the aid of exchanges is' growing
somewhat monotonous.-[IN DEPEND-
ENT. Don't you get the Times-Review

do you need?1[ Times-Review. The
Times'Review has been a regular and
welcome visitor without which we
should have been of all mon the most
miserable.
Harry Lidyard, the Ruby Valley
mail carrier, came down from Hal
leck this morning. He succeeded in
getting as far as Fair Play where he
employed Willie Lemon to proceed
on snow shoes with the mail to Ar
thur where he will be succeeded by
Clarence Hayes who EXPECTS to make
the trip to Ruby Valley Postofiice
and return in three days.
The Times-Review advises the
Commissioners to make arrangements
to give the tramps, buns and dead
beats, who succeed in getting into the
County Jail for the Winter where
they toast their shins around hot
stove and fare sumptuously on coun-
ty grub, a chance to earn their bread
by the sweat of their brow in cutting
wood, shoveling snow, etc. We Sec
ond the motion, for there is no good
reason why such cattle should be
kept in idleness during the Winter
at the expense Of honest, industrious
Taxpayers. Let the Commissioners at
their next meeting, make provisions
for putting to work every scalawag
who is serving sentence for some
petty misdemeanor. Give them six
hours' work each day, and there will
probably be fewer prisoners to feed in
the future. ....... ...

WHAT BEAT US.

Chancey NJ. Depew says now that it
was the Mckinley bill indirectly, that
resulted in a Waterloo for the Republi-
can party on Tuesday. The EAGLE said,
months ago, that it would be the Nc
X nley bill
Let us 20 back a little. The National
Republican convention in 'SS demanded
"a revision of the tariff, but the cam
paign was fought on tariff reform" be-
cause all the Republican speakers and
writers understood that revision
meant reduction" and so talked and so
wrote until Ben Harrison had been
landed in the White House with a Repub-
lican congress at his back. Now. Nc
Kinley wrote the platform of IS and his
revision" was but catch word. He
meant that the tariff should be higher.
while the Republican party understood
that it was to be made lower. as did all
the people of all parties. Mckinley was
smarter than the American people, but
the result shows that the people have the
most power as well as the last say.
The people of Kansas have indicated

bill, however extreme they may have
appeared to the great majority of our
readers M the time

publican party if they fail to now see
what the people want and what they
will have. With prosperous times the
Mckinley bill might have been over
looked, its monstrosities and its burden.
but with half the homes of the people
encountered, and with the greatest
number of all the farms of the agricul-
tural states gradually slipping away from
their owners under interest consuming
mortgages, only because of the dearness
and scarcity Of money, the result in the
several states on Tuesday last is not so
surprising. The people asked for the
free coinage of silver, would even been
satisfied with the free coinage of Ameri-
can silver, and they got less than half
loaf.
Now there is but a single chance but it
is a golden opportunity for congress and
the administration. 1t makes no diff
ference what the capitalists and monied

The money Of the present is too dear for
any possibility of the debtor class to
hquidate. 1t will avail nothing for
the secretary of the treasury to monthly
announce that the circulation amounts
to $22 per capita, or that it equals to
any other figure. Lies won't go.
Admitting that it We're truth then it
would have to be made S44 per capita.
But SOP is not truth. The Republican
party, and all parties for that matter,
should understand that America is own
ed by American people and not by for
eign syndicates and their Wall street inn
itators. The people of this country not
only propose to continue their proprietor
ship over the country, but to force their
representatives to do their bidding. One
of their orders was delivered last Tues
day, and it was as loud as the thunder of
heaven and as emphatic as the ukase of a
dictator. and the next session of congress
would do well to heed it. The volume
of circulation must be increased until
every product of the farm shall be ma
terially advanced in price, until every in
telligent, honest, handwriting mortgage
shall have chance to save his home,
until farm will rent for the amount of
its taxes and an honest interest on its
assessed value, and until despair, hunger
and destititution are no longer to be
feared by the industrious and econon-
ical of all the working classes.
There are three months in which the
Republican party can save itself for the
present and put itself in position for a
victory in 80, and that is by increasing
the circulating medium as rapidly as it
can be honestly done until all the farm
ing property of the country shall have
logically reached cash value through
its productive powers commensurate
with that of other properties and good
times shall have come.

HOIST on THEIR OWN PErARD.

The Democrats of Kansas thought they
were playing the Alliance very cleverly.
The alleged leaders fattered themselves
that they would use the movement" as
a sort Of decoy duck on the Republicans:
that the Democratic members would
pretend allegiance TO the new party up
to the election simply to toll the Repub-
hcan members on. when they (the dems)
would quietly abandon them st the
last and slip in g straight ticket for
the old party. The result of the election
as far as received shows that the scheme
worked 70 greater detriment of the
Democratic than the Republican party:
that the former party lost a larger per
cent ami number OF its following than
the latter did.

The unconditional pardon of William
Baldwin, upon the findings and recon-
mendations of the board of pardons, was
the proper thing for the governor to do.
The board made a careful examination
and were fully satisfied that the accused
was not guilty of the crime of which he
was convicted, that ist the murder of his
sister. 1t is not stated, however, that
the investigation of the board disclosed
any evidence pointing to the guilty
party. Baldwin wou d naturally feel
the greatest concern to find out who
committed the double crime against
him, the murder of his sister and his
own conviction of the crime and incar-
ceration therefor: but it is not probable
that he will be able to do anything to-
wards experimenting his prosecutor and
bringing him to justice.
