STORY.

In its "reminiscences OF Judge Hoffman,
the San Francisco Examiner publishes q
very startling story. II is nothing less
than the statement that the late Judge
Hoffman many years g received . let
ter from Abrshsm lincoln rendering him
the appointments Of . place on the So
preme Bench Of the United States. He
took 9 few days to consider the matter,
consulted his friends and was about TO
accept, when be was Astonished to learn
that Judge Stephen j. Field had been
appointed and had immediately accepted.
1t was 3 great blow to Hoffman, and he
was too astonished to ask any explains
ton Of Lincoln. Subsequently,. when
10 Washington, be learned that q dis
patch had been received in Washington
signed Ogden Hoffman, thanking Lincoln
for his consideration and declining the
nomination. This dispatch was . for
gerry and il deprived Hoffman Of a seat
on the Supreme Bench. 1t would be .
curious thing il Field has held bis office
all these years by . frsud.-Csrson APP
peal.
The record Of Judge Field is not an
enviable one, and there are hundreds Of
men on the Pacific Coast who believe
him capable Of any device 0 promote
his personal interests. He is a man OF
great ability in one direction, that Of .
thorough understanding Of our dual sys-
TEN Of government, but on most other
points he is weak and . moral coward.
He is also vain and ezotistical to q de-
gree. Whether be hal knowledge Of the
Hoffman episode it is not for US to az
sumo. We have no direct knowledge Of
the inner facts in the case. But some OF
the rich corporations that Judge Field
has been slsvishly serving since he occu.
pied . seat on the Supreme Bench, may
have thought it to their interest to head
off Hoffman and put in Field by a trick.
Be that as it may, Field could always
lind law for the strong but very little for
the weak.
Another case Of a similar nature TO the
Hoffman, Field affair occurred in Idaho
in the early days, before there were tel.
eQraphs and railroads in that part Of the
country. A Federal Judge up there was
continually complaining that his pay as
Judge was inadequate and that he was
going to resign, when in truth il was the
latest Job he had ever had in his life
and be was dead stuck after it. The
story finally became a by-word with the
legal fraternity, and it also became OBJ
~noxious as we'll as monotonous. Thus
matters stood until one fine day q mem.
Der Of the bar, q waggish individual, con.
ceived the idea Of ~resigning the Judge.
Accordingly he wrote out the resignation
and forwarded it to the President, who
promptly accepted it and as promptly
filled the vacancy. The first thing the
Idaho Judge knew he had bounced him
self and another man had been sent TO
take his place. He begged on his knees to
have things Strengthened out and be ia
ken back, but communication with WASH
ington was slow and nothing was ever
lone about il. We believe, however,
that the President took care Of him by
giving him an Indian Agency farther
north. The attorney who resigned him,
not many years ago died suddenly in the
town of Aurora in this State.

CA EHE mASNOh
The Ohio campaign is beginning TO
blaze. by the middle Of next month the
melting point will have been reached.
There is no predicting the degree Of heat
tha. will sweep over the Buckeye State
by the last week In October, the election
occurring on the second day Of Novem-
Der. But the State will be hot from
centre TO circumference. Two Presiden.
tial possibilities, il not probabilities,
Governor Campbell and ex.Congressmsn
Mckinley, lead their respective parties
for Governor. The Farmers Alliance or
Peoples party also have . ticket in the
field. Besides the personal ambitions OF
the two leading candidates, the result is
to have q far reaching influence on the
Presidential election next year. The
Democrats can lose Ohio, which has hith'
erto beer g Republican State, without
serious effect. For the Republicans to
lose it, would mean . complete rout all
along the line in 1892. The managers OF
that party understand this and will spare
no effort to save Mckinley. The pam
pered monopolies Of protection may also
be relied upon to contribute millions to
the same end. Already the indications
point to the greatest political battle OF
modern times. The fight is being wsged
on national party lines. which will make
the result all the more interesting and
significant. Both parties have local splits
in their ranks. The contest for the SEN
storship between Sherman and Foraker
in the Republican party is bitter in the
extreme, while lot Of Democratic hood.
Iers in Cincinnati are barking at the heels
of Governor Campbell and threatening
to bolt. But the Governor seems TO be
gaining momentum in the race 1T every
bound. The Democratic papers every
where are calling him the Mascot"
and his political career shows him to be
one Of the luckiest men alive. Cleveland
was called 1.-THE man Of destiny" in
1884. His successful record then was
not the equal Of Governor Campbells to
date. The latter was three times elected
District Attorney in a strong Republican
county. He also served a term or two
in the Legislature from the same county.
Next he was pitted for Congress in a Re.
publican district and swept it easily in
three successive elections. Then his
party concluded to try him for Governor
in the Republican State Of Ohio, and be
fairly wiped the earth with Foraker, beat
ing him, we believe, more than 1000.
This record Of successes certainly entities
him to be affectionstely christened by
his trends 1.-THE Mascot" If he should
defeat Mckinley in the present race he
will establish himself as too much OF .
Mascot" to be overlooked in the next
Democratic National Convention. With
the attention that will be riveted on the
campaign in Ohio for the next two
months, including the national advertis-
ing that the leading candidates are sure
to receive, Governor Campbell, should
he emerge from it victorious, will at once
take the foremost place in the minds and
hearts of Democrats all over the Union
as their best and most available candi-
date for the Presidency.

Here is the tariff issue condensed for
the West by Hon. Roger Q. Mills in his
speech at Iowa City:
Expectation demands reciprocity,
and il must be a rule. The wheat ship
ments are falling of because our impor.
tations are falling of. Foreign countries
only buy as they can pay in goods. 1t
is folly to talk of selling to foreign ma.
tions, receiving their gold and silver and
keeping il here. for in six and q half
years, at the present rate Of shipments,
we could possess the worlds entire stock
of gold and silver"
Reciprocity as the rule; taxation as the
exception is the Democratic idea, and
foreign countries can only take our pro-
ducts as we take theirs is the rule Of re-

,r.rE OF EQUALIZATION

On or before September Z, 1891. zach
railroad company shall file with the Sec
rotary of the Board a sworn statement
for the year ending June 30, 1891, as re-
quired by law.
On or before September 81, 1891, the
various County Auditors shall file with
the Secretary Of the State Board q du-
plicate Of the county assessment roll YER
fled by the oath Of the Auditor.
On September IA, continuing in session
until September 2s, 1891. the Board
will meet as assessors Of railroads.
During September 2s and October II
the Board will %spportion the assessments
Of railroads to the counties, and the Sec.
rotary will notify the County Auditors
Of each spportionment.
During the session between September
% and October 10, the Board will equal
ize the valuation Of county taxable prop
erty and hear complaints Of railroads,
counties and individuals for equalization.
Carson News.
The above rules are the outgrowth of
the new law for the assessment OF prop
erty passed by the last Legislature. and
which some Of the best legal minds in
the State rave declared TO be unconstitu-
tiona!. The railroads secured its pas
sage. Its validity, or the reverse, will
depend largely on the number Of our
Supreme Judges who owe their FIRST and
highest allegiance to the railroads, or the
reverse. The bill was passed to simplify
matters. The railroads would rather
work one board at Carson than q half
dozen along their lines in the several
counties OF the State where railroads are
situated. AS a matter Of principle the
concentration of power is always good
for the strong but disastrous to the weak.
But no matter. The people are not Gin
it" in Nevada. The people at the last
election ordered a Constitutional Con-
vention, but the Republican bosses and
managers said that they did not know
what they we're voting for and should
not have it.
The new law is at least full Of compli-
cations. II seems to us to be clearly
special legislation, which is prohibited
by the Constitution. 1t contemplates
the assessment and equalization Of differ.
emit forms of property by different meth.
DDS, when the Constitution declares that
all laws shall be general and taxation
equal.
We notice that some Of the counties
have paid DO attention to the new sys-
TEN, notably Lander county. Lander
always fights and always gets her taxes
from the Central Pacific in the end. At
torney Henry Mayenbaum, Of Austin, is
too heavy a legal weight for the COM
bined talent Of the railroad company.
He also has al apt pupil in attorney w.
D. Jones. Lander county has this year
assessed the big railroad at $4,000 per
mile. This, we take it, means a fight
and the tesking of the new law by that
county, if zone other. Possibly a State
Board Of Equalization would not be a
bad thing if the people knew in advance
of the election which OF the State officers
were to compose it, which they did not
know in this case. 1t was indecent in
the Legislature to pass such a law to 60
into immediate effect.

The free silver Republicans Of all the

Canada's quest for foreign markets is
not meeting with distinguished success. Re-
Gently she applied to British Guiana for a

the government is anxious In every way to

mercial relations between this colony and

age the government of Canada to believe
that the consent of this government will be
given to any differential treatment which
would exclude the sugars and fruits of the
colony from admission to the markets of the

In which the suggestion is made that it is
possible to have university extension in
Maine. 1t would seem to be not only posi-
BILE, but easy. provided the Presidents and
Professors of our colleges will take interest
in the matter Our colleges. could well afford
to devote some Of their income to this pur-
pose. 1t would pay them by arousing deep
er interest in liberal education In the COM
munity which would increase the number Of
their students. Its benefit to the commu-
nifty In general would, we believe, be very
great. It's to be hoped that our college
faculties will give heed to the Advocates
suggestion, and that we shall hear from
them in the near future.

The Minnesota House of Representatives
has defeated by vote or 46 to SO resolution
against free coinage. The Minneapolis
Journal. however. says that this vote can
hardly be taken seriously as the sense Of the
people of Minnesota on this subject. The
only party which declared for the free silver
coinage last year in this State was the ALI
ance, and the Alliance polled only 1884 out
OF total vote of 24l,0O0. A large portion of
the adverse vote was cast that way because
the voters did not wish the Legislature to
take any action at all on the subject, and al.
SO because members were not advised as to
how their constituents would have them
vote. The defeat does not mean free coinage
1t simply means that the Legislature will
have nothing to say.
