Query-According to the census re-
turns Ormsby county has a popula.
ton OF 1854, while Elko has 4, 1888 and
Eureka 1870, and yet Eureka is al
lowed Is, and Elko IA delegates in the
State Convention, and Ormsby only
IA. Why is this thus ?-Carson Trib-
une.
The Republican vote at the last
election formed the basis Of repre-
sentation in the State Convention
one delegate for every fifty Republi-
can votes, and one for every fraction
over fifty Of twenty-five or more.
Ormsby cast at the last election $40
Republican votes, and has IL dele
gates. Eureka cast 614 Republican
votes, and should have been allowed
IL delegates, but seems to have Sc
cured IA, or two more than she was
entitled to. We cannot even con
lecture how this happened; probably
because, while the other Republicans
r =" all wool and a yard wide," the
Eureka Republicans measure 3S
inches.
If las was, Of course, not particable)
the census returns instead of the last
vote had been used as a basis OF
representation, the apportionment OF
the State, with a Convention OF IA
members, would not have been ma
t~erially changed, except that Storey
would have lost, while Ormsby and
Washoe counties would have gained.

eitemens.
A terrible occurrence took place in
the Savage shaft last Sunday night at
IL O'Clock. 1t appears that Pat Crow
ley, an employe, had gone down the
shaft to the 1 ,200-foot level and being
under the influence Of liquor was adj
vised by John Nichols, the shift boss,
to go to the surface, he being in an
unfit condition TO work. Crowley then
picked up an ak and smashed Nichols
head, beat him to death and then
threw his body down the shaft. The
other two men on the shift rang them
selves up, but the murderer changed
the signal and rang them down. They
again rung themselves up and cutting
the rope, got to the top. The muir
derer is a very powerful man standing
over six feet high; he is color bearer
OF the Emmett Guard and the murdered
man a member Of the band. Intense
excitement prevailed, and an officer
was sent for, who went down to the
shaft, and Crowley gave himself up.
The murderer is Irish and the slaugil-
tered man Cornish. There is great
excitement in Virginia, this being the
second murder on the Comstock with
in a week.

In October dining cars will be put
on the railroad. 1t is not the inten-
ton, says the Truckee Republican, to
run the cars between Oakland Pier
and Ogden, but only back and forth
between Wells and Truckee. The
train leaving San Francisco at 8 p. NJ.
daily will take one OF the dining cars
at Truckee the following morning,
breakfast, lunch and dinner being
served before Wells is reached the
same evening, where the car will be
dropped. The train leaving Ogden in
the night time will take on a dinner
car at Wells next morning, side-track-
ing it at Truckee the same evening
after dinner is served. In this way
the cars will be kept running back and
forth across Nevada. The eating
houses along the line will continue to
be used for the passengers OF the
second-class train and the crews OF the
freight trains.

The Sehemers and Bosses.

The games Of politics, as played in
this country, are too deep, too full Of
ways that are dark" to be mastered
by but a few Of the people. The mass
OF voters know nothing of the schem-
ing Of the bosses MOI OF the chicanery
practiced by them to accomplish their
aims. The voters simply follow the
lead of their local boss, who in turn
does like service to his immediate
superior. The voters do not try to in
form themselves as to the doings of the
bosses, or when told of a job in affairs
political do not credit it. So it is that
the Government was instituted OF the
bosses, by the bosses and for the
bosses. Once in awhile they are de-
feated in their aims, but it is seldom

A Washington dispatch says
Charlotte E. Smith, the woman who
has been abusing Mrs. Mackay, pre-
sented herself at police headquarters
and gave an unlimited expression of
her opinion as to the charge OF black
mail against her, which appeared in
the New York papers. She openly
defed the whole police force Of the
Continent to run her down, and as much
as declared that she didn't care for
Bonanza Mackay, his wife, his e200,
or anybody or anything. She will
probably not be punished for her
slanderous statement concerning Mrs.
Mackay, as she is evidently cranky
and is so recognized in Washington.

The Editor ~souawhs.

The editor Of the Elko Independent
was down at Battle Mountain yester-
day, and as he finds his prospects any
thing but fiattering in Lander county
he has conciudedto withdraw from the
race for State Senator. Joking aside,
he has been giving the subject careful
consideration and has arrived at the
following conclusions: That il is not
meet that the editor of a paper should
handicap himself by taking q personal
interest in politics that he can accom-
plisI more good by attending strictly
to his editorial duties than he can as a
candidate for a political Office; that
his announcement as a candidate for
the nomination for State Senator may
have the effect to prevent a better
mar from applying for the position,
who would not like to make a fight be-
fore the County Convention; that
should he be nominated by the con-
vention he has neither the desire, the
time nor the means 10 make a canvas
of the county, and that he does not
wish to place himself in a position
where he might be compelled, under
certain contingencies, as a matter of
political policy, to assume a course
which he would not take as a free and
independent writer. In short, he feels
it his duty to abandon his own politi-
cal aspirations, thus leaving himself
free TO work for the success of those
whose election will be OF more interest
to the people of Elko county, especially
some good, competent man on the
ticket for State Senator.
With this explanation we cheerfully
withdraw from the contest and leave
the field open to any one who desires
to enter the lists.-Elko Independent.

A HOOdIum's Dividend.

Fred Griffith, Is years old, got two
charges of birdshot in his legs while
stealing apricots at San Jose last
Saturday. On his way home from the

picked out so more. The dividend
declared upon the operation was very
largely in the shape OF lead.

The Mining Prospect.

The San Francisco Chronicle says
from all the mining districts in this
State and Nevada come reports Of
activity such as has not been known
for twenty years. New processes Of
working ores have reduced the cost in
many cases, 30 that mines which were
once abandoned may be developed
with profit. Then the passage of the
silver has stimulated activity in all
the silver mining districts. Between
the two causes and the increase o.
capital from the East and abroad,
California and Nevada will make a
good yield Of the precious metals this
year.,

An Effort Co be Made.

The Elko Independent says it is
quite probable that an effort will be
made at the coming session Of the
Nevada Legislature TO authorize an
amendment to the Constitution provid-
ing for a State Lottery. The promo
tiers of such a profitable gambling
device will hardly give up the struggle
on account OF the defeat which the
proposition met at the special election
February IL, 1889. The people Of
Nevada should see to it that no one
who is in favor of a State Lottery is
elected to the next Legislature.
