Squire Spudler has just discovered
an extensive bay mule mine on his farm
near here. The Squire was fishing
down by the creek near where an old
Indian mine was worked for mules, and
he was attracted by a sound resembling
the bray OF mule coming from little
cave In the bank OF the stream. The
Squire commenced a search and soon
discovered the ears OF a mule protrud-
ing above the earth near the water.
Work was at once commenced and sew
eral fine specimens were soon unearthed.
The 'Squire's son-in-law started with
one fine specimen to a mineralogist's to
have it assayed, but it bucked and
Jumped with him, and, after sending
him off on voyage Of discovery towards
Saturn, went on grazing spree In an
adjoining lot. 1t is believed that the
mine will prove very profitable, and
fodder and corn have advanced TO $50

THE OLD CRY OF stop THIEF"

rur ON CRY OF "sToP THIEF"
The esteemed, but very partisan, m
tsui7enc,r is devoting much attention
70 re-howling the partisan howl over
what it calls Gov. Hills theft OF the
New York Legislature.
When the Republicans stole the Pres
ideney of the United States the Intetcl-
oencer whooped and hurrahed over IL;
when its party stole the Governorshlp
Of Connecticut the Intelligenc-r up
held IL; it said not word
abont the theft of the Governor
shin of Nebraska, because Republicans
did it; it applauded the open robbery Oh
the Legislature of New Hampshire; IL
thinks the theft of the Legislature Oh
Montana and two United States Sena-
tors was all right, because Republicans
were the thieves. Now, however a
lawful contest has been decided in New
York. involving the political complexion
Of the Legislature of that State IN
favor of the Democrats, and, up to the
skies from the throat of our severely
honorable neighbor goes the howl OF
fraud
Yet there is not a circumstance IN the
whole proceeding so far as Gov. HILL or
the Democratic party of New York are
concerned that points to fraud, or rs
not entirely lawful.
The Republicans have held the Legs
lsture of New York by fraud since 1882
when they refused to make the reappor-
tionment commanded by the Constltu-
ton. The State has just been carried
by the Democrats by $4,000 majority
vet the Republicans say the Democrats
have stolen the Legislature! 1t Is the
old cry of "stop thief" the same old
familiar howl the Hltetltgcdcer raised
over the late gubernatOrial contest In
West Virginia, and which was an
swered by greatly increased Democratic
maiorities at the last election.

The Cost of Living.

Ward McAllister's latest contribution
to current literature undertakes to tell
what IL costs to live in upper tendon.
His figures are rather startling. He
tells, for example, that he knows oil at
least four men in this country who
spend annually 100000. This includes
their charities and the interest on the
capital stock invested in their town and
country houses. Then there are about
thirty men who spend from 500, 600 to
$50, 900 a year, though Mr.. McAliister
tells these men are really no happier
than the man who lives on $4,000,
which Mr.. McAllister thinks about the
right figure to enable nan TO maintain
his establishment in style and dispense
elegant hospitality. As for the average
fashionable woman, we are told that
she spends from $4,000 TO $1,000 year
on her toilet, aud generally manages to
look handsome.

COUNCIL SHOULD LOSE NO TINE.


n the Edison Electric Light, Heat and
Power Company, composed of the citizens
of Wheeling, are willing to compete with
any and all corners, aud are willing 70 spend
their money here. why should the city be
afraid of honest competition and refuse 10
compete. If the Edison company cannot
furnish liCht as cheaply as the city they
would be compelled 20 quit business and
the city would not be hurt. Only the Edi-
son company would sustain loss. Five
hundred thousand dollars would be good
" sum to be expended among our working
people.-In'elligsncer.
How very plausible this sounds!
But $500, 600, or many times that sum,
would not compensate the city for the
loss OF the right to supply private con-
Sumers with electricity, and II the m
telligepcer honestly believes the city
could grant the rights asked by the
Edison company and at the same time
90 into the business herself whenever
she chose and with as little expense and
inconvenience as she now can, the IN
telligCncer is too innocent to be out
withouta chaDerOn.
Does our neighbor honestly believe
that the intelligent gentlemen at the
head Of the Edison company would put
S5OO,O 900 Of their good money into the
scheme, il they did not expect to shut
out the city and have an everlasting
monopoly, worth, in dividends to them,
many times $500, 1000?
The Edison company is composed of
gentlemen for whom, individually, the
REGISTER has the highest regard, and
the REGISTER was willing at the start
that they should be granted the rights
they asked If such rights would not in
terfere with the rights of the city in the
matter. But Council spent nearly two
months in trying to frame such an ordi-
nance and it found it could not. 1t is
folly to suppose that such an ordinance
could be put together, so long as lobby
ing in the Legislature is free-for-all
game to be won by the party hiring the
most numerous and able lobby. Do the
gentlemen composing the Edison COM
pany wish US to specify further?
Council deserves credit for its fore
sight and FOR its insight in rejecting
the ordinance.
The city has too much at stake to
risk her rights in the matter Of furnish
ing electricity to private consumers.
And, furthermore, Council cannot go to
work too soon to take advantage of these
rights before the Legislature meets
again. The sooner the city goes to
work to furnish electricity as well as
gas. TO private consumers, the fewer
will be the chances Of her being trieked
out Of the right altogether.

Life Of Terry.

A History of David S. Terry's Ii fe
is soon to beissued. 1t has been writ
ten by A. E. Wagstaff, formerly of
The news staff. Mr.. Wagstaff is a
consistent Republican, while every
body knows that Terry was typical
Democrat. The author claims, how
ever, to have made a close study of
Terry and his characteristics, and
declares that his equal cannot be
found either among the pioneer or
latter day Californians for intellectual
strength or physical stamina. The
News will be glad to see produced a
book that shall do justice to the mem
DRY of Terry. He was wrong in
some things, no doubt--few men
can always be right--but many of
hi' erratic doings sprang from real
ization of the injustice that he felt
himself suffering under. He was
one case in which many Californians
refused to be fair. 1t all grew out of
the duel with Broderick Some of
the adherents of the dead man Ere
tended to think that Terry had taken
an undue advantage-thatt there was
something wrong with Broderick' S
pistol or something of that character.
No one intimately connected with
Broderick ever made such a state
ment. An attempt was made to
have it appear that Leonidas Haskell
held to the opinion that Broderick
did not have square treatment, but
that gentleman would not sanction
the statement. When Terry was on
trial at San Rafael for the killing of
Broderick, the witnesses, including
Haskell, took good care not to arrive
until the case had been submitted to
a jury and verdict of mot guilty"
rendered, This would not have tax
en- place if at that time there was
even suspicion of unfairness on the |
part of Terry or his seconds.
1t is true that Terry was a man of |
violent temper, but he was brave and !
honorable. If he had been killed, |
instead of Broderick, his spirit would |
not have sanctioned any unjust asper
sion of the man at whose hand he |
fell. sacramento News.
