4aE LESSON OF THE HOUR.


Stockmen have at least learned q
lesson from the elements during the
past month, and that is to provide
feed for their 10. ks and herds and
not try to Winter more than they
have feed Tor. 1t is an ignominious
ending for a fine sleek steer to turn
mp his heels on the bleak plains
covered with snow, when II he had
had suitable quarters and food to
keep him alive he would have been
taken to the shambles in a few months
to gladden. tho hearts and tickle the
pilates Of many hungry families
From present indications it seems al
most an impossibility for many Of the
range cattle to be able to pull through
and the loss to stockmea is something
fearful to contemplate Fully 80 per
cent. OF the cattle unprovided with
food must succumb to the, inevitable
and only the strong and those in good
condition will show up at the Spring
roundup. A Winter like the present
following on the heels OF four years
OF drouth, with our ranges over
stocked, it must have occurred to the
etockmen that their losses would be
very great, but it seems to be human
nature to look on the bright side and
trust to luck for the outcome. To be
on the safe side stockmen should put
up a ton OF forage for every brute they
intend carrying through the winter,
and until this Lesson is learned losses
will become from year to year more or
less serious.
The above from the Reno Gazette
gives a better picture OF the outlook
than exists in Elko county, for it is
the general impression OF stockmen
here that not a single animal in the
county, unprovided with food, can
possibly survive the Winter. All must
go, and great care will be necessary
to prevent the loss Of a portion OF the
stock that is fed. Should this weather
continue for any great length of time
the supply of hay will be exhausted,
and cattle hat are now being fed will
DO compelled to succunb before grass
comes again. From all reports the
outlook could not DO worse.

The Century.

At the time of General Fremont's death he
was engaged upon the manuscript of paper
for The Centmrys forthcoming series on the
California Gold hunters. 1t was to be entitled
"Finding Paths to California" and was not
only to deal with the several exploring expedi-
tions, but to narrate the writer's intimate con-
nection with the events which led to the con-
quest and occupation Of the territory.
The work will be promptly continued by Mrs.
Fremont. A first draft of the article had been
made, and the subject had been SO recently
and closely discussed by General and Mrs.
Fremont that she will have no trouble in
completing the manuscript, for which she
had already written an introduction, as well
q supplement describing her life at Monterey in
1S49. A fine portrait of General Fremont from
adaguerreotype of 40 or so will appear in the
September number of The Century, along with
portraits of Commodores Slost and Stockton

ticle giving account Of "How California Came

as well as some of the most progressive and

was one of the holding-over Senators, and
his death will render an election necessary to
fill out the unexpired term before the General
Assembly meets again. The death of Mr..
Silver makes the fourth vacancy in the Sen
ate. He is the second Senator to die since
adjournment, DR.. Adams, of the third dis
trict of Baltimore city, having died a few
weeks ago. The other two vacancies have
been caused by the designations of Messrs.
Burchinal and Urner, both of whom have
accepted government positions. The late
Michael Bannon was also at one time State

JULY 29th.-Anna Florence, infant child OF
Mr.. and Mrs. James 7. Walker, died on Tues
day of last week of cholera iufantum. This
lovely babe was not only the Joy and idol OF
her home but the pet of the neighborhood.
The little white casket containing the form OF
this loved child was borne to its last resting
place, Grove Church cemetery, by four little
boys Elliott Hollis, Harry s. Osborn, Norrie
Chapman and Charley Chapman. Rev. Mr..
Jamison conducted the services.
While Mr.. George NJ. johnson was riding q
fractions young horse the animal became
frightened and threw Mr.. johnson violently to
the ground, cutting his face and otherwise
bruisng him. No serious injuries were sus-
tanned, however.
Our people generally are attending camp

One of the pleasures of this part of old Rar-

Next is Middle Island, which Is owned by

Mitchell, who has grown SO large that if he

are on the same scale-tine and thriving.
Last, but not least, is the farm of Mr. Robert
Smith. with his commodious mansion looking
out upon the broad bosom of the Chesapeake.

Sad Ending to an Excursion

Last Monday evening about s o'clock, as
the steamer Louise was returning to Balti-
more from Colchester with about 1900 ex-
cursionists aboard, she was crashed into by
the steamer Virginia, on her way to Norfolk.
The accident occurred in the bend OF the
channel just telow Fort Carroll. The three
masted schooner Yale was In the channel
and in endeavoring TO avoid her and each
other the two steamers collded, the PROV of
the Virginia entering the Louise just aft the
wheelhouse. Three persons, a lady and two
little boys, were killed on the Louise and
fourteen persons are reported injured, most
of them seriously. Nine others are missing
and are believed to be drowned. Several
leaped to the deck of the Virginia and re-
turned with her to Baltimore. No one on
board the Virginia was hurt. The Louise
was greatly damaged but was able TO get to
her wharf. An inquest was held on Tues
day, but the jury could not decide which
boat was at fault.

Mr.. Gorman and the Tariff.

The tariff debate in the Senate is still 60
ing on. Up to last Tuesday the Republicans
had preserved stoical silence, being evident
ly agreed on q conspiracy not to speak on the
Ubiquitous bill which they knew they could
not defend, but which the tariff lords say
must be passed. But on Tuesday Mr.. Cor
man, by his singing remarks, broke the ST.
lence and provoked three of the Senators on
the other side into replying. A number OF
Republican journals have been asserting that
Mr.. German was in position antagonistic
to Mr.. Cleveland and tariff reform.
By his speech on Tuesday he showed plain
ly that, if he had ever been so he is so no
longer. The doctrines contained in the
Democratic platform of 1888. while they may
have been advanced too soon for successful
issue, in not giving the people sufficient time
to weigh them carefully, were absolutely true,
and it is equally true that it is mainly on
the doctrine of tariff reform for an over.tax-
ed and over burdened people that the
campaign of 1892 must be fought and
won. Referring to Mr.. Germans able effort,
the Baltimore Sun says, in part:
He accomplished what no other Democrat
ic Senator has been able to do in pinching his
adversaries so severely as to make them
squeal. His explanation of his Hardness in
joining the ranks OF the tariff reformers as
being due in part to the fact that he foresaw
that an attempt would be made to revive the
passions of the war over the accidental cir
substance that Southern men were at the
head OF the committee that framed the Mills
bill is an interesting piece of political history,
and may serve TO account, III large measure,
for his comparatively passive attitude during
the campaign of 1883.
Mr.. German now plants himself squarey
on the Democratic doctrine of tariff for re-
venue, and only such revenue as would be
needed "for q government economically ad-
minislered." About this doctrine all Demo
Gratis should be able to rally. That they will
do so the attitude now taken by Mr.. German
would seem to indicate. Whether justly or
not. the senior Senator from Maryland has
been regarded by the country at large as one
of the leaders OF the anti-Cleveland element
in the Democratic party, but his advocacy
of the tariff reform idea, which is the cardi-
nal issue OF the young Democracy as well as
OF the Jacksopiau veterans, may be taken IS
implying recognition on bis part OF the si-
most unanimous sentiment of his party, and
clear perception of the fact that the tariff is
the great question on which the next presi-
DENTAL campaign must be fought and won.
Senator German has the reputation of be-
ing one of the shrewdest leaders in the coun-
try, and we nay be sure that he would not
have committed himself 80 unreservedly to
tariff reform if he did not see in the attempt
ed extortions of the protected" manufactur-
ers the opportunity for winning great vic
tory for his party.
