Watched

On Thursday evening Mr.. Thomas H.
Oman, and a plumber OF other officers
and employees OF the DeLamar mines,
stepped into the compapy's Office and,
taking Mr.. Theo. Allen completely by
surprise, Mr.. Oman drew from his
pocks ct neat velvet case which, whom
opened, displayed heavy hunting case
gold watch. He then, In a neat little
speech, told Mr.. Allen that, AZ he was
about to take his leave from the camp,
q number of his friends wished 10 pre-
sent him with token, to express the
high esteem in which be was held here,
and in appreciation of the uniform
courtesy which had marked all his in
tercourss with the people here, both In
his official capacity and socially, they
desired him to accept and carry this
timepiece. Wishing him success in the
new field Of labor to which he was
about to depart, they all regretted his
leave taking.
Mr.Allsn, usually quite self possessed,
was taken 20 by surprise that he could
only confussdly offer his sincerest
thanks; wish prosperity and happiness
to all the people of DsLamar, among
whom he bad spent two very pleasant
years, and say, "cigars, gentlemen"
The case of this handsome watch was
set with gems and engraved on the in
nsr side was presented to Thso.

Married.

In Lincoln Nebraska, at the residence
of the BRIDES parents, June Is, 1898,
Mr.. VIM. H. Slaughter and Miss Susie
L. Cook, Rev. ]. P. Slaughter, brother
of the groom, officiating.
The groom is one of DeLamar's most
popular young men. The happy couple
arrived here yesterday and will at once
set up house keeping in the residence
which Mr.. Slaughter purchased before
going East. They came in unannouncsd,
thus preventing the many friends of the
groom meeting to give them recep-
ton, but were pleasantly received at
the hotel, and Billy is to-day receiving
many hearty hand shakes and congrat-
ulations.

Of season, and destroying our trout
streams by unlawful methods of fishing,
game and the sport of fishing will be no
more in Owyhee forever. The laws
passed by the legislature last winter do
not discriminate in favor of these lazy,
good for nothing Migrants. When one
of them is caught killing deer or trap
ping fish in violation of the law, swear
sut con-. 4int against him before the
nearest jlstice of the peace and have
him cincbed. When few of them get
in Jail the others will get out.

Many DeLamar people will remembe
two men named McAvin, who worked
here last year. The parents of these
young n en- once resided in Silver City,
and we believe one of the sons was born
there. On June 10th Mrs. MeAvin,
their mother, died in Tnscarora, Neva-

of their father, in the same place, the
mother apparently dying of grief caused
by the loss of her husband.

the Senate shall be go changed as to
allow majority to order vote upon
any measure after thirty days have
been devoted to its discussion that the
resolution OF Senator Voorhees, provid-
ing for the change may be taken
up as soon as the silver compromise is
disposed OF. Should that be done
there will be very lively debate, en-.
tirely outside of party lines, as it has
friends and opponents in both parties

chances favoring defeat.

passes the Senate this week. Should
it be finally disposed of this week, it is
altogether probable that Congress will
take recess, as many of The Senators
and Representatives are anxious to
take part in the closing days OF the
various state campaigns, and the new
tariff bill is not expected to be ready
to be reported to the House much if
any before the beginning of the regular
session. President Cleveland is also
anxious to take short vacation be-
fore the beginning of the regular
session.

THE outlook for Democratic success
in the election FOR State officers in Vir-
ginia, which takes place the 9TH OF
next month, seems to be all that could
be desired. Representative Tyler, who
has been speaking in the canvass has
just returned to Washington, and re-
ports that everything looks bright and
encouraging, and he feels confident
the full Democratic vote will be brought
out. He would not be surprised, he
said, If Col. O'Ferrall's majority should
exceed $4,000. The Democrats are
however, not idle, but are fully exert
ing themselves at every point, and re-
alize the fact that the Populists are
pretty sure to receive the aid of the
Republican masses. Yet, it is clear
that the result will simply be Popu-
lism's defeat in the South last Novem.

Four democratic Senators-Martin
OF Kansas, Hill of N. Y, Vance of N
G. and Irby of S. C.-voted against the
confirmation of the nomination of Mr.
u. Van Allen, to be Ambassador to
Italy, but as 10 republicans voted for
confirmation the nomination got
through by vote Of 80 to %. No Sen
ator, either democrat republican OF
populists, believes that there was any
truth in the charge that Mr.. Van Allen
had been nominated as the result OF
bargain and in payment for his hav-
ing made large contribution to the
campaign fund of the party. The
Democrats who voted against his con-
frmation did 80 for other reasons.

Amend the Rules.

The question whether the Senate
shall have power to legislate at all has
become more serious and pressing
than the question of what particular
legis alton it shall enact at this time
II minority can prevent action upon
the silver bill, a minority can much
more easily prevent action on the
election laws, the tariff, the banking
and currency system or, in short,
upon any subject upon which few
determined men may agree to main
tain protraCted obstruction. And
the great difficulty in the way OF any
compromise upon the pending issue is
the fact that such compromise is in
itself a concession to the minority and
direct encouragement to frequent
resort to the policy OF obstruction.
Those who speak of the present
situation in the Senate as vindication
of Speaker Reed either deliberately
falsify or do not know what they are
talking about. The rules of the House
Tor many generations before Mr.. Reed
provided means for closing debate,
by a call of the previous question,
whenever the responsible majority
was so resolved. The whole fight
against Reed in the House was against
his plan of putting this power into the
hands OF a minority. The Democratic
contention was always that the major
ity should rule, but that the.e must be
an actual majority present and voting
to carry any contested measure, This
had been the universal practice in the
House previously, and it is the prac-
tice there now; nothing more than
this can be demanded in the Senate.
1t has become evident now that
nothing less than this will suffice to
enable the Senate to carry on its
constitutional functions. The reason
that the rule of the previous question
has never been adopted in the Senate
was chiefly because it was SO small a
body that it had no need to limit de-
bate. This reason has disappeared with
the lapse Of time. At the beginning
of the government the maximum mum
Der of Senators was but 26, and even
the more popular branch of Congress
contained but Go; now there are SO
Senators, a number altogether too
large to be ruled by the simple laws OF
courtesy that would prevail among a
little group Of gentlemen met for
friendly discussion. Their interests,
too, are more widely divergent than at
first their manners and customs diff
fer more, and it is expecting too much
of human nature to expect tina. none
of these 8S men shall violate the
courtesies and usages of polite society.
All these considerations argue for
change in the rules of the Senate, ir-
respective of the pending issue. The
silver debate has only served to make
the necessity evident The obstruc-
tionists are not to be worn out, and if
the Senate shall undertake to placate
them it will involve itself in a contes-
sion of impotence from which it can
hardly recover. A reform in the rules
of procedure becomes, therefore, the
issue of most pressing moment, and it
is to that the leaders OF the Senate
should address themselves without
delay.-Philadelphia Times.
