So largely is public interest eentered
upon the contest IN Ohio that the Iowa
campaign attracts comparatively little
attention; yet a Democratic victory IN
the latter State would not be without sig
ni6csnce. Both States are normally Re
publican. In both Of them the Demo
Gratis won IN the last election for Cover
nor. and in each the present incumbent
was renominated. In Ohio the lines are
distinctly drawn upon national issues;
in Iowa local questions enter largely into
the fight, bat 1t the same time silver and
the tariff are By no means omitted from
the discussions.
But the important feAt1re Of Governor
Boies' campaign is found in the attitude
Of the farmers toward the Democratic
nominee. Elected originally largely BY
the farmer vote, be naturally counted

present contest, and If all reports are

hibition issue into the campaign, BY
which ID was feared that many former
supporters would be ~Alienated, the &c.
cessions TO the Democratic ranks are said
10 be daily increasing and the Governor
is assured Of election by an increased ma.
jority.
Although the State is the home Of Gen.
eral Weaver. one of the originators OF
the third party, this new departure has
developed no appreeiable proportions,
and the farmers and workingmen are
practically unanimous in adheriDg to the
old parties, the great majority Of them,
as above intimated, being enrolled under
the Democratic banner.
This fact is significant as showing the
political tendency Of the agricultural
West, and il Governor Boies' majority is
increased over that Of last election, it
may be taken as evidence that no local
question was important enough to over
weigh the vital national issues involved,
and the triumph achieved may, no less
than in Ohio, be counted as a victory for
Democratic principles. sustained and sup.
ported by the agricultural classes.

HE WANTS A YACHT.

Prince Russell Harrison was in q genial
mood at the Gilsey House just before he
left for Cape May. His Royal Highness
walked up to the Office desk and began
to talk in a pleasant and democratic way
with the clerk of the Gilsey House. The
Prince talked in an interesting and in
structive way on the subject Of a Gov
eminent yacht for the Presidents family.
The Prince said he was in favor Of the
nation furnishing a private yacht for the
nautical travel Of the President and his
family, Just as it furnished q building
for them to live in. A handsome private
yacht, elegantly fitted up and covered
with bunting. would be a fitting boat to
go down the Bay and meet the President
aud his family on their return from Eu.
rope, Cuba, or any foreign country.
The Prince expressed the hope to the
Gilsey House clerk that the nation wonld
build such a yacht for the use OF future
Presidents and their families, 80 tina.
they might lay aside the cares Of State
and go sailing OYER the ocean blue in the
Summer time with their %uncles, theil
cousins, and their aunts.
He expressed the fear that IL was 8
little ~undigniied for the members of q
Residents Family to come up New YORK
Bay on a Government revenue cutter,
after making a tour Of Europe and tax
ing tea with kings and queens, and meet,
ing dukes by the dozen and lords by the
score.
Then the Prince shook hands with the
clerk Of the Gilsey House in his urbans
way and hustled out Of the hotel on biz
way to Washington. IN. Y. Journal.

This is what the San Francisco Call
characterizes Senator Stewards silver ar.
guments. The Senator made q speech
in the city the other night on the general
subject of silver. The synopsis published
by the Examiner discioses no new points.
This is perhaps why the Call talks about
"chestnuts." As q matter of fact the
Senator, while indefatigsble, is not orig
inal. He threshes over the same old
straw in all Of his speeches, and we Sc.
riously doubt if he is doing the cause any
good. He is q poor talker. both in man.
ner aud matter. But it would be q diff
cult thing to convince the Senator Of this
fact. He talks on and talks ever, and
forever, until he has become widely
known as the voluble man OF the Senate.
The worst Of all is, that he never says
anything. All Of his silver arguments
are the old arguments of others. and not
as attractively put as they were by
Others. The story loses in favor by its
repetition by Stewart.

The worlds consumption Of Goldfish is
something enormous. The chief supply
has hitherto come from the banks OF
Newfoundland. The aggregate annual
catch OF cod in North American waters
has been estimated at 80, 00O, 900 fish,
weighing lS5,OO0 tons. This is a good
many Goldfish. 10 respect to r%eproduc-
ton they are said to be the most prolific
fish known to history. The roe Of 3 sin.
gle female cod hiss been found to contain
5000, 900 eggs. But Notwithstanding
these favorable conditions it is asserted
with apparent authenticity that the sup
ply is rapidly diminishing in the waters
about Newfoundland. Year by year the
fishermen nave been compelled to go far
Their to the northward. Professor Bick-
more, of the American Museum OF Nat
ural History, who has been investigating
the subject for some months, reaches the
conclusion that. Though it might at
first sight seem impossible that man
could take an appreciabls quantity Of
Goldfish from the sea, yet the fact remains
that they are far less numerous than they
were in their former haunss." 1t seems
10 be q settled fact that the cod is going
on the North Atlantic Coast. Happily
for those who are fond of Goldfish and
cream and potatoes, a new and greater
supply is obtainable from the Alaskan
Coast. Lieutenant Schwatka, who ex-
plored the northern fishing grounds for
the Government, reports that Goldfish are
more plentiful along the banks of Alaska
than they were in the palmiest days Of
Newfoundland. A crew OF fishermen
from Gloucester. Massachusetts,, have
been operating in Alaska for the past two
seasons with magnificent success. They
have found the waters literally swarm
ing with Goldfish which were easily and
conveniently taken. They could fill a
schooner and make back to port in q re-
markably short time. It is now pre-
dicted that the hitherto great fishing In
dustry Of Newfoundland is destined to
be transplanted to Alaska.

THE FALL ELECTIONS AND THE
SILVER QUESTION.

We have been writing q good deal
lately about the bearing Of partisan poll.
tics on the silver question. OF course
we have known always that politics has
everything to do with the silver question.
Republican editors and speakers contin-
ually urge that 1t is not a party question,
but it comes rs near being one as the
tariff or any other great issue about
which men differ. ALI Of the Republic
cans East are against silver. A few Dem.
ocrats East are also against it. Bot in
the one case it is q whole political party
and in the other isolated individuals.
There is just this difference in the par
ties in the East on the subject. No Re.
publicss Stale Convention East has re-
solved for free coinage, while no Demo
cratic State Convention has failed to dc
so. And now comes the San Francisco
Chronicle. which processes TO be friendly
TO silver, admitting in SO many words
that il Ohio and the other States hold
ing elections this Fall should 90 Repub
lican, that fact will be equivalent tc
serving notice on the country that free
coinage is not demanded by the people
and that silver must take g back seat fol
some years to come. The Chronicle
reaches this conclusion because of the
great prominence given to the silver
question in these local e~lections-the Re
publioans standing for the present bull
ion purchase commodity law. and the
Democrats demanding free and unlimited
coinage. This is precisely what we have
been urging for months, and we have
said again and again that every honest
friend Of silver must wish for the COM
plete overthrow of the Republican party
at all points. The silver question is .
party question and nothing else can be
made Of it. The man who votes the Re
publican ticket in Nevada or elsewhere
votes directly against silver.

And nov comes the Republicans OF
Bleeding Kansas" resolving against the

seems that Republicans, wherever found,
are all gold bugs outside Of the mining
States. We have sometimes doubted
them ct home. Certain il is that they
will vote TO strengthen and keep in power
the common enemy. They do this
through loyalty to party, never stopping
TO reflect that they are voting against
our chief industry and themselves. II
would be . glorious thing for silver If the
Republican party would disbsnd in all Of
The mining States. A Republican in 8
mining State lie q mere helper 10 the gold
bug party in the East. When Kansas
Republicans begin talking about "the
clipped dollar" we submit that it lie
coming pretty close home to us. The
whole Of Kansas would have been in the
poor house long ago but for the mines Of
n~eighboring Colorado. The miners OF
Colorado have taken her beef and -four
and bacon and butter and poultry for
years, at better prices than she could get
for them elsewhere. But oil Of this makes
no difference with Kansas Republicans.
The policy Of the Administration and the
Republican party lie inimical to free coin.

forgetful Of the best interests OF their
own State, fall into line and take the

ing good grace, if not enthusiasm. On
the other hand, the Democrats and Far
mers' Alliance Of Kansas are battling

in like manner the parties are taking
sides all over the Northwest. The Re
publican party is the only political organ.

in the way Of the full restoration Of sill

A bulletin from the Census Office shows
some curious things about punishment
for crime in the United States. Il re-
lstes mainly to the number Of criminals
confined in the pe~nitentiaries Of the sew
ersl States. The work Of gathering this
information was put 10 charge OF Rev. r..
II. Wines, the well known penologist,
He found that on q given date in ls9O
there were Is, 253 persons in the peuiten.
tiaries Of the United States. OF these
2,4S6 were serving sentences Of less than
one year; 80, 757 we're under sentence for
9 term Of years; 26ss for life, and %
were under sentence Of death. Some Of
the sentences which were for a term Of
years were really for life; 1872 persons
were serving sentences for City years and
over, and among these 6fty-hve for
ninety-nine years. Bot, adding all the
sentences together. the average term Of
sentence was found to be five years and
go days. 1t would appear, therefore,
that as q general policy our courts run to
light sentences. And after all we donot
know that the policy is not a correct one.
II is the certainty Of punishment, rather
than its severity. that exerts q restrain
ing influence ON the criminal classes. II
has always been our belief that prisons
should be graded or divided into at least
two classes. Occasionally a man not al
together vicious makes q mistake and
commits q crime for which he must be
sent to prison. To put him with hsr-
dened criminals for q term Of years will
about round of his character for the rest
Of bis life. Where reformation is prob
able 1t should be tried, for about the
poorest use a man can be put to, both for
himself and the community, is to wear
his life out in prison. There are differ.
emit sorts Of criminals just as there are
different degrees Of crime. 1. is not the
part Of wisdom &c make them all share
a Common fate. Where there is any good
left in a man to build on, the effort should
be made to develop it. Far reaching
consequences, both in morals and econ
omy, point to this as the true rule in
dealing with criminals. We haven't any
sympathy for a thief. or a house.burner,
or q poisoner, or one who lays in wait
for his victim, but occasionally honorable
men become imbroiled in difficulty, fire..
quently under great provocAtion, and
find themselves in the penitentiary. For
this class greater allowance should be
made than for the incorrieibles.

THE NEVADA sENArORsHIP.


There is already trouble in the Repub,
lican camp over the Senatorial election
TO come off next year. There is . strong
combination Matching to defeat Senator
Stewart for q reelection. 1t is claimed
that out Of ten hold-over Senators but
one can be counted on for Stewart. There
are at least Q half-dozen local statesmen
who would like to have Stewards place
in Washington. State Senator Williams
Of Ormsby is believed to have q very ir.
ritating itching for the seat. Also A. c.
Cleveland Of White Pine, and ex-Sur.
veyor General c. c. Powning Of Washoe,
are thought to stand in line should the
opportunity offer. Several attempts have
been made to harmonic matters by
electing Newlands to Congress and Bar
tine to the Supreme Bench. But this
programme will not hold together. There
are too many great men for the number
Of offices. There is not enough places to
90 around. However, we counsel the
brethren to dwell together in unity If
possible. The Australian ballot might
beat the whole railroad gang in this State
next year. A free ballot in Nevada will
be a novelty, and it may work curious
results. And besides, there is good
deal of feeling all over the State that the
miners and farmers should pull together
for once and sweep things for themselves.
There are some interesting situations
ahead in Nevada politics, and there is
likely to be music all along the line be.
fore the thing is over.

SAGINAW, Mich, June 1.-THE State
Medical Society is not generally consid-
cred a sensational body, but the charge
