THE present British minister, Sir
Julian Pauncefotc, has adopted a
new method Of cen 1ucting 0iplo-
matte negotiations. Having been
decidedly worstcd in his previous
encounters vita Secretary Blaine he
has had himself interviewed by the
enterprising newspapers and he tells
us Just what his Government has
propored to Mr.. Blaine as means
of settling the existing dispute re-
garding the Behring Sea seal fish
cries. In short, he proposes that
the question be arbitrated. There
is nothing new in this. Sir Julian
proposed the same thing last Spring,
and if our memory is good Mr..
Blaine's reply was, in effect, that
England had nothing to arbitrate.
It is presumed that Sir Julian's in
novation upon diplomatic customs
has the sanction of his government,
but it is hard to see what can be
gained DO it.

THE late election shows great
Democrotic gains in the Eastern and
Western States, and it is thought
that the lower House of Congress
will be Democratic by so or 60 next
session.. The Senate is Republican.
The people will now have chance
to sec what the Democratic party
will do on the free coinage question.
Teller, of Colorado says he intends
to introduce and pass, if possible, a
free coinage bill in the Senate. The
Democratic House will then be put
to the test, as to whether their party
is for free coinage or not.

THERE are great many kickers
and sore-heads about just now, but
the election is over and soon these
people will be pulling harmoniously
together again. 1t has been fun
ny election in Lyon county. DEM
ocrats have worked tooth and tee
nail to beat some of the Democratic
ticket and Republicans have worked
to defeat portion of the Republi-
can ticket. This kind of work has
elected about half the Democratic
ticket in this county and given
Winters a majority here and also
Mason. 1t is something unexpect-
ed by Republicans, but as the Dem
ocrats had a good ticket there is no
fault to be found with the men
elected.

En-. TrMEs:-Do you ask why |
was not down to put in my vote
Tuesday? Whether you do OF not
I am going to give you the reasons
and hope they will prove satisfac-
tory. You will admit that 30 mics
over a mountain road is a long ride
ON a short day. l had been study
ing week how to get out of it, and
not have the G. 0. P. lose a single
point. Finally happy thought
struck me, that l might "pair" all
the same, as the members of Con-
gress do when they want to go off
on a bit of a spree. I'bethought
me of a couple of Italian wood
choppers, both Democrats, and reg
istered in Storey county. Ofcourse
I would rather they had been regis
tered in Lyon, SO that my political
finessing could have helped our
county candidates as well as the
State and Congressional. But in
this fight I am for Bartinc first of
all, as I see by my eastern papers
that the Democrats are moving
heaven, Garth and the "other place"
to make the House Of Representa-
tives Democratic, SO they can kill
the National Election Bill, and
knock out Speaker Reed, whe talks
altogether too loud for the sensitive
Democratic ear. That is why / am
for Bartine first of all. The Dem
ocIats will doubtless make some
gains at the South, which is strong
ly Democratic, and in the "other
place." where as 'Big Bob" says ut
is unanimous" But let us try and
see that they make no gains at the
North. Now as to my pairing, |
called on my Italian friends, the
wcod-choppers, and after long ar
gument, succeeded in obtaining
their promise, that they would stay
at home and chop wood, if would
do the sane. I compromised on
the chopping. and packed in my
winter'i wood. You will observe
that my style of pairing beats the
stereotyped Congressional mode,
They only make "stand off, whore
got two for one, SO to speak. The
Democratic candidates, State and
Congressional, lost two votes, while
the Republicans lost but one. l call
that pretty good pair" better for
Bartine than a pair of aces, king
high. suppose, Mr.. Editor, that
you know the result in this State at
least by this time, | shall not know
until | get the TINES. Yours for
