THEreported gold discoveries in Nicara-
qua are probably true. But it is not news
The mines referred to were known to ex-
ist and to have been worked by Indians
century and more ago. But the InC ian
method of mining never amounted to
much. If the energy and machinery of
Americans can be put into the placers,
there will be found, in all probability,
ground rich enough in gold to make
Nicaragua gold exporting country on a
large scale, for early inhabitants of that
State had gold in plenty and procured it
from lands on the headwaters of the
rivers, without much difficulty. If mere
rude skimming of the surface yielded so
well then, it must be that the heart Of the
placer region is richer still.

THE DAY.

That there is not on Washington's
birthday more general observance of the
anniversary in the way of ceremonial,
has been by the many regretted. But it by
no means signifies lack of patriotic vigor.
Ceremonial and formal celebration are
not of themselves indicative of patriotism.
The outward display of the symbol may
not represent sincerity. That the nation
on the recurrence of this anniversary pays
tribute to the memory of Washington by
observingthe time as holiday, by sus-
pension of business and by display OF
the national colors, by making the day
following, when the anniversary occurs
on Sunday, day of rest and
acknowledgment of the gratitude of the
nation for the devotion of the first of her
heroes, is tribute of no mean order. We
doubt if it would be more emphatic if it
were celebrated with professional dis
play.
Throughout the land on the 22d of Feb
ruary the people recall the birth of the
republic and do patriotic homage to the
name of Washington, quietly but not less
sincerely. We must not under-yalue the
wisdom of the masses of the people; they
do not forget what we owe to the founders
of the nation, or fail to give to our history
and traditions the thought and respect
that grateful and happy people owe to
those whose craftsmanship and heroism
secured them the priceless heritage they
enjoy.

THE friends of ballot reform must
unite upon the Senate committees bill ii
they expect to win. The enemies of the
bill will DO all that III them lies to de-
feat the reform by debating, amending
and insisting upon features in each of the
half dozen bills introduced in the Assem-
bly, for amendment of the election laws.
Delay is their game, and by consuming
time over the several bills they hope to
succeed. Let the friends of genuine bal
lot reform resolve upon the Senate bill,
which is, after careful comparison, found
to be superior to either the systems of In
diana, New York or Massachusetts,. In
fact, it viii give US the best ballot law in
existence, and upon that proposition we
are willing to join issue with any.

THE President of the American Sab
bath Union, in recent address at Phila-
delphia, severely criticised certain labor
organizations for holding meetings on
Sunday. lie is short-sightad. Better far
that the workingmen assemble ard de-
bate questions for the betterment OF
their condition than to resort to tho beer
hall or the sporting grounds. Unless the
essayist can show that the worsi.,gnen
will iiockto the church on Sunday if their
labor meetings are forbidden, his case
fails. The best way to treat such ques-
tions is to leave men free to choose into
what assembiages they will drift, and let
the best and wisest exert such attractive
power as they can. But prohibiting the
workingmen from meeting and counsel
ing on Sunday will not promote the cause
for which the Sabbath Union labors.

-tional life, is sound. Despite craft and
corruption, the trickery of low politicians,
the arrogance of unwisely used wealth
and the venality ofpolitical servants, it has
not lost faith in the national destiny. It
is to-day beating with high purpose and
hope, and trusting as implicitly as ever
in the strength of the principles of self
government. The people are not dull to
the menace to republican institutions /;
they are not blind to the dangers that be-
set the nation. Their sense of duty may
not always be made manifest, but when
the hour comes in which the assaults of
priests or politicians, of domestic foes,
foreign enemies, or corrupt servants of
the nation threaten the stability of the
republic, the spirit that inspired Wash
ington, the motive that underlaid his
heroism and wisdom, will be found to
live in the hearts OF his countrymen, and
to nerve their arms to the defense of the
nation whose foundations he laid.

IT is said that the bill to exclude Chi
nese and to register those here, has the
approval of the Attorney General as TO
its constitutionality as State enactment.
We shall, Notwithstanding, continue to
doubt the power of the State to enforce
exclusion bills passed by its Legislature
The question has certainly been decided
adversely to such claim of power Fit is
held that, Us Federal laws exist exclud-
ing Chinese, therefore the State has
right to supplement them, the response
it seems to,us. must be that if it requires
Federal legislation in the first instance,
no action by the State can give that law
vigor, nor can the Federal law Justify
that which the State has not the right,
originally, to meddle with. Chinese ex-
cl.ssion, it seems to us, is wholly a Fed
eral matter; one for the national legis-
lature to deal with, and it alone.
