The Murphys Disgrace the Parent
Spud.

The Murphys Disgrace the Parent
Spud.
Editor McClatchy, of the Sacra-
mento Bee, says: 1--WE are exceed
ingly glad that the Murphy estate has
got into the Courts in San Francisco.
The daughters abominate this country
and would have spent the money in
Europe. AS it is, the lawyers will
get most of it, and as there is a jolly,
generous lot of them, they will keep
the coin in circulation in this State. "
Furthermore, this same editor, who is
proud of his lineage says: IA Murphy
that is not ashamed of the land of its
ancestry, and is proud, happy, and
thankful to be kissed by the generous
sunlight of its adopted country, is a
Murphy that it would be a pleasure
and an honor to know. Buta Murphy
whose seed was brought over in the
Storage, and who subsequently thinks
is no cabin passengers anywere in this
benighted country fit to associate with
well, such a Murphy is disgrace to
the parent spud.

The Arizona editor does not mince
words when he discusses Eastern SEN
timentalists. Here is the Prescott
Courier mans view of the pro- Chinese
and Sabbatarian fanatic: "Observe
that the same crowd who want to close
the gates of the Worlds Fair OH Sun
days are the same fellows who are
down on their marrow bones against
the enforcement of the exclusion act.
They are also the same bipeds who
shed Gila-monster tears over the
wrongs done to the noble Apache. and
they average just one tablespoonful of
blood to the biped, actual measure
msnt."

Here is what the Cleveland (Ohio)
Plaindealer, recent convert to free
silver coinage and a most influential
journal, has to say: "The Eastern
press is gradually arriving at correct
appreciation of the magnitude of the
silver boom in the West. The West
may be running wild and woody race
financially, but there's nothing in this
country big enough to stop her."

what Il the Maeter9

There seems to be financial and
business storm brewing in the land.
The cloud is already much larger than
q mans hand and the warning winds
seem to be steadily gaining velocity.
Here, there and elsewhere banks are
closing their doors, with anxious credi-
tors waiting on the outside. Large man.
ufacturing establishments and enter
prises are closing down, and altogether
there appears to be good deal of dan
gerous lightning in the air. We still
have robust tariff to protect our indus
ties, infant and aged, and if tariff is
good for anything, this would appear to
be first rate time for it to show virtue.
Bit if the tariff is at fault we are prom
Used a radical modification in q short
time, and our expiring business es-
Adjustments might try to live on faith
in the coming day of tariff reform ju-
bilee, for few months longer. AS a
matter of fact tariff or no tariff does
not seem to enter prominently into the
matter. Nearly every concern that
has gone to the wall has reported lar
geI assets than Indebtedness. It had
enough property or enough due it to
meet it's obligations, but it cannot sell
the one or collect the other. Whyq
Because money is scarce, and yet we
are to do that to have perfectly sound
currency, it must be of such scarcity
that nobody can find it. Rather than
use ''buzzard" dollars or s'rag baby
paper, it is practically urged that deb
tors lie down and not pay anthing.
This is ''honest" business, resultant
upon the use of ''honest" money

Every once in a while the gossips of
every community succeed in precipita-

mournful for expression. We hope
there is hell deep enough and broad
enough and hot enough to accommo-

esses a gossiping tongue. Any hell
would be failure which does not
possess these qualifications. -Truckee

Storey County's Declining Populasio,

Storey COunty's Declining Population
Much speculation has been indulg-
ed in of late, owing to recent drafts in
the mines and the departure of peo-
pie from the Comstock regarding the
actual force at present emplyed in our
mines.
The Assessors have concluded their
labors of collecting poll-tax from all
the miners employed in the county
liable to such taxation, and their re-
ceipts amount to 81, 95O-$3 from $50
men. Allowing for those under and
over age, time-keepers and others who
are exempt, the total number of men
employed by the mines in the county
in all capacities can be safely estima-
ted at 700.
This is small number of men en-
ployed, considering the present pop
ulation. Of course all people work
ing in the coun4y are not miners:
nevertheless, our mining force at pres
ent employed is small compared With
former times.
The total number of voters regis
tered i'll the county for the general
election last fall was 2, 400. Comput-
ed at three of the population to each
voter would make the total population
here at that time 1900. Many have
departed since then, making it con-
siderably less.
Storey county is rapidly becoming
depopulated. According to the
eleventh census, taken in 1890, we
had population of 8,8O6. According
to the above figures our population
has decreased ], 900 in three years.

Aga,ns. Chance verdicts

The Supreme Court of California
hRs decided that chance verdicts are
improper and illegal. In the case of
Katie E. Dixon against w. s. F.
Pluns in which damages was claimed
for personal injuries the jury agreed
by vote that the average opinion of
the jurors should determine the YER
dict. A ballot was taken, each juror
stating the amount of damages that
should in his opinion be awarded plain
tiff, and returned verdict for the
average. The defendant set forth
these facts in an affidavit made by one
of the jurors and moved for new
trial on the ground of misconduct
on the part of the jury and appealed
to the Supreme Court. The Court
held that jury should not agree to
abide by chance verdict, and defined
schance" as hazard, risk of the re-
suit of uncertain and unknown con-
ditions or forces, and the facts deve-
loped in the case at bar convinced the
Court that the jurors had left their
verdict to chance. The defendants
motion for a new trial was therefore
granted and the case is to be tried
again by a jury that will find verdict
based on facts not on chance.

which shall be longer than four years.
The legislature, in violation Of this sec
ton Of the constitution, attempted to
make the tenure Of certain officers of
the militia five years. This the
legislature could NOT do. Prob
ably Captain Shspter, as well as
all Of the other line officers Of the
militia forces OF the state are lawfully
appointed, yet the question 10, for what
length Of time. The provision making
the term Of Office five years, being, as we
have seen, in violation of the constitu-
ton, is void. Does it not follow that
these officers hold their offices subject to
the pleasure Of the commander-in .chiefP
1t is believed that they do, and that the
commander-in-ohisf may honorably dis
charge them whenever, in his judgment,
he ought to do so.
My conclusion, therefore, is that the
preliminary writ Of injunction 1should
not issue in this case.

NIGHT SESSIONS PROVE FUTILE
Silvsrs Friends Remain True to the PeO-
ple-Wall Street Loses the
First Round.

The past week in congress has been
very interesting, not for what has been
done, but rather for what has been left
undone. The supporters Of the admins
tration have made desperate effort to
carryout Growers pledges to Wall street,
but they find the champions Of the peo'
ple's cause unexpectedly strong,and were
forced to yield the first pitched battle.
Mr.. Voorhees,, who is the leader Of the
repeal forces, announced on Saturday,
October 7th that beginning on
Wednesday, the 11tb, he would ask the
senate to sit continuously until vote on
the question could be reached.
When six o'clock came on Wednesday,
Mr.. Allen, Populist) of Nebraska, YVES on
the floor speaking against the repeal bill.
He was still speaking when at sos
o'clock Mr.. Dubois, republican, Of Idaho,
arose and Mr.. Allen yielding to hlm he
observed that it was o'clock, the hour
when the senate usually adjourned. He
asked Mr.. Voorhees, whether he was
going to make that motion.
"I feel it to be my highest duty" said
Mr.. Voorhees,, "not to make that motion
this evening, but on the contrary to ask
the senate to stay together in continuous
session until the pending measure is dis
posed Of"
Mr.. Dubois said that the statement Of
the senator from Indiana meant that the
senate was to be held in continuous Ses-
sion till the pending bill was brought to
a vote or until it was demonstrated it
could not be brought to vote.
Mr.. Voorhees, replied at great length.
Hs suggested to Mr.. Dubois the wisdom
of the ssying: "Let not MIN that girdeth
on his armor boast himself as he that
putteth it off," "We will see who fails
in this transaction before we are done"
said Mr.. voorhees,. " feel my feet on
rock, and there / shall stand and vindi-
cate great and mighty principle. But
before say word upon that subject,
l will ask the senator Ifrom Idaho
whether he will fix day to take vote
Mr.. Dubois said there were dis
tinguished senators who had not talked
on the subject and he nor anyone else
could say when the debate would pro-
badly close.
Mr.. Voorhees, started to press the
the question further, but apparently
changed his mind and said:
Without pressing the senator from

standing directly. It is because OBJ

that we are in the attitude we are now
We regret exceedingly to have to resort
to the methods now before you.
From this time until II o'clock, the de-
bate continued without any unusual
features, Mr.. Allen still retaining the
floor. The crowd in the galleries did moi
diminish until after 10 o'clock, wher
some Of the visitors began to leave

ishing, and as midnight approached less
than dozen were in their seats, but the
voice Of one big Popuhst from Nebraska
showed no signs Of weakening. OF the
twenty-nine books which he had on hiG
desk, only three had been opened. The
remaining twenty-six represented 90
much stored up ability to talk against
time.
Exactly at II o'clock Mr.. Dubois arose
and remarked as he looked about the
chamber: "Mr. President, / believe @
quorum is not present"
The vice president directed roll-Call
to be taken. The senator's crowded into
the chamber then. When the roll had
been completed, Mr.. Stevenson an
nounced fifty.hvs senators were present
"a quorum-Rnd directed Senator Allen
to proceed. The Nebrasksn took the
floor again, and the quorum promptly
disappeared through the cloak room
doors. Mr.. Allen began reading from
ChRrwick's political Economy" Now
and then he would pause to make a COM
ment on q striking passage or take sip
from the dilapidsted, overworksd lemon
that lay on his desk.
The scene Of calling the roll and Secur-
ing q quorum was gone through with
time after time. All night long Mr..
Allen held the floor and continued his
speech. At 8:15 he concluded the long
eat speech ever made on the floor Of the
senate lover fifteen hours) by saying that
be yielded the floor to Mr.. Martin, Of
Kansas. Mr.. Martin then began his
first speech in the United States senate,
and continued it through many Interrupt
tions for roll.CallS and desultOry debate.
In his speech he alluded to the eastern
bankers as "slRve drivers and ShylOcks."
He said il the president had, during the
campaign, written such q
letter as he had recently written to Gov.
Northen, of Georgia, he would not have
been elected, and declared his belief that
Il the question of unconditional re-
peal could be submitted to the popular
vote, it would be overwhelmingly de-
Deated.
All day and all evening the debate
dragged its dreaEy length along" The
repeal forces were kept continually on
