AN UNKIND CUT.

The San Francisco Chronicle issued .
great New Years edition in which it re.
viewed the prospects Of the whole Coast.
When il came to Nevada it gave us .
very black eye. We had intended to
quote . portion Of what il said about
us, but we have mislaid the paper. II is
enough however to say that according TO
the Chronicle the State Of Nevada has
either gone or is fast going 10 the dogs.
In the opinion Of that sheet we will not
be able much longer to maintain . State
government and will have to relinquish
our place as one Of the sovereign States
Of the American Union. A good deal OF
this kind Of impression and q good deal
Of this kind Of talk has its foundation in
our own local press. We have no use
for calamity shriekers. The doleful man
is always . puller.down. 1t is only the
hopeful who accomplish great things in
this world. The truth is that Nevada
has boundless mineral and agricultural
resources. No State in the Union has
better. But the conditions are against
us. The low price Of silver and the
want Of cheap and convenient transpor-
tation through the heart of the State are
the only things standing in the way Of
our progress and prosperity. There is
no such mineral section in the world as 10
contained within our borders. We also
have as many acres Of good land as any
other equal extent Of territory On the
face of the earth. With q competing
railroad and activity restored in the
mines by the rehabilitation Of silver the
agricultural capabilities Of the State
will be developed TO supply u home
markets. Our State Treasury is in q
better condition than that of California,
because we do not owe q dollar except to
ourselves. Most of our county govern
ments are also in . satisfactory financial
condition. Our population has declined
from the flush days. and for the reasons
stated, but the bed rock was long since
reached and il anything we are now on
the up grade. While it is true that our
population is small, we are nevertheless
reasonably prosperous and happy and
contented. We are all welded to Ne.
vsda for its glorious climate, which is un
surpassed on the habitable globe. When
the conditions begin to favor us, as they
must in the near future, nc other State
in the Union will make such rapid
stride as Nevada. There are one hundred
thousand fortunes for one hundred thous.
and people in the Ssgebrush State.
About ell Of the millionaires in San Fran.
cisco were made SO by Nevada bullion.
Our State will turn out a still larger crop
when the clouds roll by.

.n.au FROM EST.

II is said by those who profess to be
we'll informed that quite number OF
gentlemen are hoping to be chosen Pres
idental candidates next year. II is
further reported that these gentlemen are
greatly perturbed by the d%ireful, dcleful
and awful uncertainty which hangs over
their patriotic aspirations.
Mr.. Harrison appears to be outwardly
calm, but his pulse probably runs high up
into the nineties. Mr.. Blaine is sure Of
the nomination if he wants it, but he
prefers to wait q bit before committing
| himself to the embrace Of popular en-
thusiasm.
MI. Cleveland maintains impenetrsble
| silence, but is by no means Indifferent to
the prospects Of the future. .Ms. Hill,
on the contrary, has taken the whole
world into his confidence and says, BY
the broadcast limitations, that he wants
to be President and will do his best tC
win the day.
Many of the hopes, however, arr
doomed to disappointment. The mex
candidate of the Republican party will
be Blaine, and no one else. The can
didate of the Democratic party will hal
from the West, and for the present is
dark horse. If the Democrats see that
they see a good deal, and the probsbilit.
is that they will see victory.-New YorI

THE BALTIMORE AFFAIR.

Commander Schley of the Baltimore,
just arrived in port at San Francisco, sd.
heres to his original statement that all Of
the men of the Baltimore wounded in the
Valparaiso affair were stabbed in the back;
hat the assaults occurred simultaneously
in many parts of the city and upon
groups of three or four sailors, by bod
les Of Chileans of from forty to two hun.
dred in each case, and that the police
took an active part with the mobs.
These facts, he says, ere established by
proofs. How, in the face Of this asser-
lion, can our Government be content
with the finding of the Valparaiso secret
tribunal of inquisitioni Shall there net
be. before settlement, assertion Of these
facts to the Chilean Government, and an
emphatic demand that r~eparation be
made to the men, and damages paid to
the families of those who were killed.
How can we afford to dismiss the matter
with less than that?

nrxRIap YnuK CLAIMS.

A writer in the Seattle Mining News
says that "there are many instances
where prospectors find mines, but do not
have the necessary mesns to develop
the property, md have to sell for what
they can get. There are also many who
own claims which they could go to work
and develop into mines by mere hard la
Dor, just as settlers in a new country
take barren land and convert it into pro-
6table farms. In this State men can
work for wages a portion Of the time and
with their savings during that period,
work their mines for a number Of months,
but a good many seem to be playing at
mining and spend the money furnished
them to develop their properties, in riot
Gus living.
"Simply owning a claim and holding
il, does not make a mine, nor q miner.
This State contains hundreds Of mines
which might make the owners rich il
they were worked, but too many want
to sell and it is difficult to dispose Of
mere prospect holes these days. In Older
camps this is better understood than II
new ones. The prospector sits around
delaying the development Of his property
and ~frequents hotels and bar.rooms
looking for someone to buy claims a
prices the mines should be worth provid
ing the existing showing continued
They are afraid to prove the mine ant
are often foolish enough to think tina
SOM one will assume the risk for them
"Under such circumstances sales arr
made only to experienced men, men whc
can see further in the ground than the ma
jority, or recognize features that other
have failed to observe. These men ar
mining men and they appreciate tn,
worth OF the property which many time
is very little. The owner Of a mininl
property cannot pursue a more foolisl
policy than to defer developments wher
the expense incident can be recovered
from the ore extracted"

A prominent Republican politician en-

BAR OUT THE PLAGUE.

The continued prevalence of cholera in
Europe excites apprehension in admins
tration circles. The hope entertained
that the dread disease had been extir-
pated is dissipated in the face of renorts
of new cases and the conviction is forced
upon government officials that as pre-
dicted by many scientists, the disease
will reappear with increased violence in
the spring. The dispatches announce
the continued prevalence OF the plague
with numerous cases of fatality.
Commenting on this, Assistant Secre-
tary SpauldInS says the situation is far
from reassuring and is, in effect, a notice
that this government must not let down
the bars or relax its exertions to keep
cholera from gaining a foothold in the
United States.
The joint committee on immigration
OF the senate and house, not dissatisfied with
collecting huge volumes of matter relat-
ing to immigration and preventing the
predicted introduction OF cholera next
year. has decided to send a Joint sub
committee to Cuba during the holiday
recess TO gather additional information.
The subcommittee is charged with IN
vesticating the character Of immigration
from the West Indies and the danger of
contagion from those islands to this
country through Key West The allega-
ton that Senator Chambers bill viii NOS
prevent immigration from South Ameri-
Ca, viii also be made the basis of in
