No Accom- IN odatium.

The people Of Nevada, more
especially the western portion, have
been good patrons Of the Pullman
sleeping curs travelling toward the
west coast. and naturally look for bet
tor accommodations than they now
receive. Complaints come from Haw-
thorne and along the line Of the G & G
road, from Dayton, Carson and other
places which tell us that the citizens
have to wait night after night at Reno
disappointed on being unable to
obtain a berth on the west-bound
train.
This should be remedied by the
proper authorities by having a Pull.
man sleeping car continually sta
toned at Reno, in order that travel.
ers may be sure to be able to stop ON
hoard such car until it arrives at it's
western terminus at the Oakland
mole.
The thing can be accomplished by
the citizens rousmg themselves to
action in the matter.
Other States in the Union present
requests for necessary accommoda-
tons and if such are not granted,
the corporations whom the grievances
are against, hear from the people
through their legislatures.
The railroads running through the
by the people in a princely manner
and now that the extreme spirit of
economy, bordering on meanness is
displayed by the Pullman authorities,
efforts should be made 70 coerce
them if necessary into concessions to
the people.--Virginia Chronicle.

Sone Observing individual Notes won

Have you ever noticed" sad man
about-town to q reporter for the Phil
adelphia Record, "that nine women
out of ten when they enter street
car invariably take a seat on the right
hand side of the car? Ihave frequently
wondered at it, and a solution Of the
mystery did not occur to me until n
few nights ago. I boarded Girard
avenue car which was entirely empty,
and sat down in the forward left-hand
corner. At the next crossing a woman
got aboard and sat down opposite me.
At the next street two more women
got in and took seats alongside of the
first. After q time there were seven
women in the car, all sitting in row.
leaving me to enjoy alone the comforts
Of the left-hand seats. Then three men
jumped aboard and sat down on my
side. Finally another woman joined
us. and instead of taking a vacant seat
rear the door on the ladies side she
walked the entire length of the car
and sat down alongside of me. This
eccentricity on her part impellcd me
to watch her more closely than good
manners possibly warranted, but
solved the mystery to my satisfaction.
She paid the conductor with her left
hand! She was left-handed; see? And
all the women on the other side were
right-handed, of course. Fact!"

INDIAN TREACHERY.
A Red Mans CoId-Bloodod Villainy Meets
with Speedy Punishment.

A Red Mans Cold-Bloodod VilRiny Meets
with Speedy Punishment
A sergeant in the Second cavalry re-
calls an incident in his life in the Milk
river country, Montana. He was then a
private, and was carrying the mail be-
tween the camp and Fort Assiniboine.
One day lie met an Indian, and, riding
along together, the soldier proffered
him a pipe, which the red man smoked
peacefully. After travelling thus all
the morning, they came to n creek, and
the Indian refined up, saying that he
was going down the stream, whereas
the mail route led upward. So they
separated, and, when the soldier had
gone about so yards, he turned in his
saddle to wave another farewell. To
his horror, he saw the Indian in the
act of drawing u bead on him. Quick
as n flash he tumbled off his horse, un
slung his carbine, and returned the
fire of the treacherous savage. The
Indian then fed, with the soldier in
pursuit, when suddenly the Indian and
his horse disappeared from sight. The
soldier followed up carefully, until he
stood on the brink of preciri ice, 200
feet in depth. At the bottom lay the
Indian and his pony, both dead. The
faithlcss Indian, in his hurried attack.
forgot about this cliff, and in his flight
went to destruction.

An exchange well says that "the

and wives. Gossip has blackened
and sullied the character OF many
poor girls. Gossip has parted lovers
who would be very happy if it were
not for gossip. One little misstep or

say? We ought not to. for we have

MR.. CLEVELAND VS.. DEMO
CRAZY.

The Wilmington Dispatch, Dem ,
has this to say of the President:
1.-The death of representative Will
son of Kentucky breaks the tie in the
legislature of that State and gives the
Republicans a majority of one. The
Republicans therefore will elect q Re,
publican to succeed Senator Black
burn.
For more than twenty five years
the State of Kentucky has been solidly
Democratic, giving majorities during
that time over the Republicans ell the
way from thirty to sixty thousand
votes. Cleveland has turned the scale
and made of this State a Republican
stronghold, and yet Mr.. Clev Gland
claims to be a Democrat.
"Mr. Cleveland during the few years
since his last election that he has en-
ioyed official power has done more to
destroy Democratic unity and ruin the
party to which he claims to be a mem
Der than all the Reeds, McKinleys and
Shermans that have hurled anatkemas
and abuse against it during the whole
time of it's existence"

SOME SOUND MONEY MEN.

The American Saving and Loan AS
ISOLATION (sound) Minneapolis, Mimi,
is in the hands of a receiver. Money
good in Yurrip" wouldn't save it.
The Western Carolina Lumber Com
pany in Swain county, is in the hands
of a receiver. The assets will, of course,
bring some sound dollars.
Keen, Sutterlee & Co., leather deal
ers, Philadelphia, Pa, have assigned.
The liabilities will, it is said, reach the
enormous sum of 81, 900, 900. Amount
of assets unknown. The firm was for
sound money. John NJ. Fenlin, q large
morocco merchant, failed on the same
day.
Geo. Porter, a commission merchant,
New York, committed suicide in a New
York Jail the other day. He was
charged with passinga worthless check
to get some dollars good in Europe.
E. Seidenburg, Steifel & Co., New
York, cigar manufacturers, have as
signed. They owe $3.50, 900 and claim
to have $500, 900 worth of assets.
Perkins & Welsh, sugar and coffee
importers, New York, have failed.
They owe about $500, 900 (sound) The
rapidity with which the big firms are
getting out of business by the little end
of the horn exit leads US to believe that
they are we'll pleased with the gold
standard policy, as it relieves them of
all their property and business cares.
Kahn, Schoenbrun & Co dealers in
clothing. Chicago, have assigned. They
owe $500, 900 (sound.)
The failure of the Solicitors Trust
Company, Philadelphia, Pa, is causing
sensations" Crookedness is the cause.
Honest money, of course, makes it all
right.
The Standard Electric Company,
Chicago, ILL.,, assigned on the 10th.
They wanted honest money and got it,
also got left.
The Old Judge Distilling Company,
Frankfort, KY, has made an assign
ment. The whiskey trust and the
National Bank monopoly is as thick as
peas in the pod, and yet the banks
didn't come to the rescue. The banks
have got sound money, however.
The Moonsocket Rubber Company,
at Millville, Mass, employing 1000

and Brown ever since they were
| charged with the crime. That paper
says it was not a political prosecution.
J We think it was. In our opinion moth
ing has been clearly proven against
either Brown or Satterfield. The evI-
dence was very weak circumstantial
evidence. We have no fault to find
with the character Of any of the wit,
nesses, but they didn't swear to any
thing, so far as we are able to see, suf-
icient to fasten the crime on anybody.
But the jury thought otherwise and
acted accordingly.
The first count in the bill of indict-
ment read as follows: THAT they
willfully, negligenly and unlawfully
permitted the enrolment of the tabled
bill" Satterfield was found guilty on
the first count and sentenced to pay a
fine of $3.50. The second count read
THAT they willfully, corruptly and IN
lawfully procured the enrolment of
the bill" Mr.. Brown was found guilty
on both counts and sentenced to pay a
fine of $3.50 and work n year on the
county roads. Both appealed to the
Supreme court and gave bond.
We believe that as strong evidence
can be secured against a dozen other
persons and yet we wouldn't
want to see any of them con
icted on such evidence. twas not
shown by even the shadow of
evidence that either received money
or other reward, therefore we can't
see any motive. Certainly neither
man would try to bring reproach upon
the legislature that gave them their
positions. On the other hand certain
Democrats could have had two motives
one to secure pay for the dirty work;
the other to bring reproach upon the
legislature. It is said that the bill it.
self came from Baltimore, that it was
introduced by request" and that GER
tain North Carolinians ~lobbyed for it.
There was something mysterious about
it from beginning to finish.
Satterfield and Brown may be guilty.
We do not say that they are not. If
so, they ought to be punished. But
others had more motives and stronger
ones. Others had as good or better
opportunities. Again it might have
been done by mistake. Such things
are possible.
Both gentlemen proved good charac
tiers by witnesses from all parties. It
is said that it is better to let ninety nine
guilty men escape than to punish one
innocent man. We think that will
apply in this case.
We don't know what the Supreme
Court will do with the appeal. We
think it possible to find errors in the
case without impeaching the honesty
of the jury, the veracity of the wit
nesses, or the legal ability of the Judge.
But, of course, we do not pretend to be
either a sage or a lawyer, and we may
be mistaken.

PICKED JURIES.

One of the most rotten bits Of dry
rot on the face of this beautiful earth
today is the several Boards of County
Commissioners in North Carolina. Not
satisfied with favoritism, with aiding
in partisan election deviltry, they are
controlling the courts of the State to a
large extent. In more than eight cases
out of ten you will find from nine to
eleven Democrats on every court jury.
The grandjuries are made up in about
the same proportion. Yet the Popu-
list and Republican voters in the State
number almost two to One of Demo,
Gratis. In a number Of instances we
r told that special men are picked
out when it is known that certain
trials will come off during a certain
court. These men have plenty of par
tisan hatred and in numerous instances
professionally jurors are selected.
This is a terrible state of affairs, and is
a problem that the people of the State
must solve somehow. 1t is no use for
county commissioners to deny this. 1t
has been proven time and again by
their own acts that they have helped
to steal elections by selecting the most
ignorant or INSCRIPTIONS members of
the opposing party as judges of cleo,
tions, and by building bull pen" vot-
ing places and numerou other black
schemes to aid in counting out" Men
who will aid in such outrageous parti-
san unfairness and deviltry, cheating
men out of their most sacred privilege,
will not hesitate to violate their oaths
and ''pick" %juries, or adopt any other
methods to interfere with equal and
exact justice in the courts. Picked
men for grand juries have prevented
the punishment of many men who
practiced fraud in the election of 1894.
The county commissioners system
must be abolished as soon as possible.
No one party ought to be entrusted
with such sacred privileges, with so
many chances to wrongfully use the
power given them.
