The Big Water suit.

A dispatch received from Carson says
Some days ago General r. NJ. Clarke o.
Carson sued out q writ of pro
hibition in the Supreme Court to pro-
hibit Judge Bigelow from trying a waite,
suit in the Supreme Court to be dis
missed. On the same day T. d. Ed
wards, an attorney, filed a petition in
the Supreme Court praying the Court h
prohibit Judge Rising from trying suits
relating to the water rights Of the Car
son river and its tributaries.
The object Of this suit is to test the
constitutionality Of the water law. By
testing this law great expense may be
saved to the $50 defendants, and il il
claimed that such tests should be made
before defendants are put to the expense
and trouble Of trying the cases in the
District Courts. The hearing in the Su-
preme Court is set for August 25. and
eminent counsel from San Francisco will
appear on both sides. The suit involves
greater interests than any ever before
tried in the courts Of this State.

Mr.. Blaine's opinion Of the Mckinley
bill is unique and picturesque. In order
to get the drift Of his ideas you must
read between the lines Of his letter to
Mr.. Frye. He is . diplomat by both
nature and profession and knows better
than most men how to pay a graceful
compliment and fling a sarcasm IN the
same breath.
The bill is in many respects q wise
one, he says. but il is political blum
der. He lie pleased with some OF its
provisions, but the thing will not work
and must be abandoned. II is in accord.
ance with the policy of Profession, but
il be might be allowed to make q sug'
gestion he would like to remark that 1t
fails to protect. 1t is a great and glori'
Gus measure, quite worthy Of the pstri-
otism Of the Republican party, but un.
less it is killed in Congress it will knock
the party higher than Gilroy's kite. 1t
guards the financial interests Of the
country and is therefore to be commend
ed. but it closes every foreign market to
American products and is therefore to be
condemned without stint.
The occult truth is that Mr.. Blaine is
preparing q dose Of s~trychnine for the
bill and hopes to deliver the remains tC
the Coroner and the undertaken. II
might not be policy TO say that, so hi
praises it family, and with so many
double e~ntentes, that you can swear h'
believes in 1t or doesn't believe in it, JUS
as you please. You pays your money
and you takes your choice.
We are still looking for Mr.. Blaine
conversion to 9 sound Democratic pol
ity. He stands trembling on the brink
but may soon leap into the food and b
baptized in the rolling Jordan Of De
mocracy.
The grand issue between the two par
ties is the market. "Give US the Who'll
world to trade WITH" cry the Demo
Gratis. "Let us shut the whole worl
out and chew each other up" answer tb
Republicans.
Mr.. Blaine is trying to open Sout
American ports. That is good polite
and good economy, but it is the DemS
cratic, not the Republican policy. W

NEVADA NOT ALONE.

The census returns which have been
made public indicate that Nevada is not
the only State in the Union that shows a
falling off in population since 1880. Con.
necticut, 1t appears, has lost heavily in
the agricultural districts and the State
will probably lose a member Of Congress
when the next ap~portionment is made.
The facts disprove the theory, that pro-
tected manufacturers give a home mar
ket to the farmers, as agricultural inter
ests are steadily declining. Like New
Hampshire and Vermont, the State is
dotted with deserted farms, whose own
ers have gone West.
Here in Nevada, says the Silver State,
where it is estimated that the %popula-
ton has fallen off fully one-iourth in the
last decade, the loss is attributed
mainly to the low price Of silver, which
caused a cessation of mining operations
in many districts and made the business
Of silver mining Improbable, save in a
few instances, where the mines were
unusually rich or the ore could be worked
cheaply. This deprived the farmer Of a
home market for his products. and with
the drought. tended to depopulate the
agricultural valleys and caused people to
leave the State. An advance in the
price Of silver would doubtless materi.
ally increase the population of Nevada,
but the abandoned farms Of New En-.
gland are not likely to be rec~ultivated
until all the agricultural lands in the
West are settled.

A correspondent wants to know why

and the foreclosure will soon come, and
the old gal will 20 along to hell with her

narrow Escape OF n steamer In Mid.

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-The Allan
steamer Hibernia arrived here from
Glasgow after a trip of ten days, during
which she had a narrow escape from be.
ing dashed to pieces on an iceberg. The
vessel ran fog speed, reduced to five
knots, but for this she surely would
have been lost. The berg was sighted
just before s o'clock in the evening at o
distance of fifty yards. The engines
were reversed and the man at the wheel
were succeeded in slightly changing the
course of the vessel, so that the berg
was struck at the stand. The iron
plates grated alongside Of the huge pile
and the vessel careened until the sails
touched the water. There was great ex.
element among the fifty passengers.
One passenger, q woman, was thrown
from q high bunk and slightly injured.
The berg was so feet above the water
and very long. After the collision the
Hibernia remained hove to till Saturday,
all the while enveloped in a thick fog.
During this time the passengers suffered
intensely from the cold. and they paid
many visits to the engine room which
was the only warm place on the ship.
