The Democrats are said to have
a majority of 100000 in Greater
New York; and it stands to reason,
therefore, that unless the two Dem
ocratic candidates for mayor run
nearly neck and neck, and one of
the two Republican candidates run
far ahead of the other, one of the
Democrats should win. The con-
test seems to be between VanW yck
and George, with the chances slight
ly favoring the first named. The
constituency numbers between 5OO,-
600 and $4,000 votes.

THE Sacramento papers are work
ing hard to have beet-sugar fac
tory started in the vicinity of Sac
ramento, and will probably accom-
plish their ends. They have shown
that beets can be raised and sold to
factory at good profit and that
the climate and soil is well adapted
to the growing of the tubers. They
have not shown, however, that the
quality of beets grown is as fine, or
as rich in saccharine matter, as
beets grown in Nevada. There is
any quantity of land in Nevada that
will beat the Sacramento valley out
of sight in raising beets, and fac
tory in this State would, without
doubt prove a paying institution.
It would also be a boon to Nevada
farmers, as they could then raise
crop of something that could be sold
for cash and get good prices for it.
Nearly every paper in the State has
advocated the building of a beet
sugar factory, and has shown what
could be done in this line, and what
a great benefit would be derived;
but there seems to be a hoodo on
the State so far as getting outside
capitalists to invest any money here.

IT HAS Just been discovered that
a great many silver dollars have
been stolen from the United States
Treasury. 1t has always been the
custom to count these dollars by
weight in making up the final
amount in the Treasury for the
yearly report The silver dollars
are kept in sacks of $1,000 each,
and they weighed out all right, but
upon opening some of the sacks it
was found that a number of dollars
had been extracted from each and
enough lead put in to make up the
weight. Now the money will all
have to be counted over, piece by
piece, and it will take fifty clerks
something like six months to do it,
and the expense will be in the neigh
borhood of $25, 900. 1t is not known
what the shortage may be, but as
the coin has not been counted for
some years except by weight, it may
be expected that the gold bugs have
got away with quite a sum. The
strange thing about the affair is
that gold bugs antipathy to the
silver dollar should be overcome by
his greed for lucre.

FIELD has actually resigned. He
has been on the bench for over 80
years and has done more to breed
corruption in high places than any
person alive. He secured his posi-
ton through forgery and kept it by
rendering decisions favorable to the
corporations. Lovers of fair play
and justice should hail his resigna-
ton with delight.

BUTCHER WEYLER refuses to be
recalled and refuses to relinquish
his command in Cuba. This will
make things exceedingly complex
for the new ministry. In the mean
time it is believed that Cubans will
ask to be annexed to the United
States. Annexation is what should
have been accomplished with Cuba
and the Hawaiian Islands long ere
this.

r. Pritchard Woodward, the man
who bet Bryan would be elected
last year, and who is travelling from
New York City to San Francisco
on donkey to pay the bet he lost,
reached this place Thursday morn
ing. He lost three of his jacks near
Sutro and stayed here until after
noon Thursday to recover the ami
mails with their packs, and in the
afternoon struck out for Carson.
The bet Mr. Woodward made was
with Benz. Lillard, editor of Popu-
lar Science. Mr.. Woodward bet the
trip against $4,000, and on Novem-
Der 9th, 1896, he struck out from
Madison Square, New York City, to
pay the bet. At this point he had
travelled about $500 miles, and still
had 252 miles to make. To fulfill
the wager he must arrive at the
Palace Hotel, in San Francisco at
noon on Nov. Sd, 1897. For the
first l 800 miles Woodward travelled
alone. but at Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
he secured a valet, who has been
with him on the trip since leaving
that point. Woodward has to make
expenses on the trip, and this he
does by selling pictures, lecturing,
etc. At Chicago he met w j. Bryan,
who was instrumental in securing
for him an advertising contract
from the Cascaret Co. At Lincoln,
Neb., he called on Bryan and was
royalty treated. After leaving Aus
tin, this State, Woodward lost his
way in snow storm and went 40
miles out of his road He also en-
countered the men who tried to
murder a sheep-herder in White
Pine county, but stood them off with
his Winchester. Mr.. Woodward is
quite a bright young man. When
asked if he wasn't blown away by
that wave of prosperity in the east,
he denied that there was any such
a wave. He says the free coinage
feeling is gaining everywhere, and
that if the election could be held to-
day Bryan would undoubtedly be
elected. The press of the east he
says is subsidized by the corpora
tons, and is trying to make it APP
pear that the silver cause is dead.
Woodward is willing to make the
same kind of bet that Bryan will
be the next President, and ne says
if he can get such a bet the other
fellow will ride the donkey next
time.

Heretofore visited the vast empire o.
fertile country subjacent 20 Mesa
The past three years. too. have made
wonderful change in tue appearance
of that section. Instead of mesquite
cactus and other desert growths are
vast fields of grain and alfalfa, grow
ing thrifty and vigorous. The visitor
40 this vast region should first visit
the camp of G. P. Hill, general man.
ager and superintendent of all the
ranches and work of the Consoiidat.
ed Company south of town. This
is tie central point and from here the
instructions are sent out either by
telephone or courier miles away to
the irrigators and workmen at the
various sub camps on the vast estates
of the Company. This camp is con-
nected with the Mesa and Phoenix
offices of the Consolidated by tele-
phone and by switches with the sub :
camps. In his three years of man.
agement here Charlie Hill has de-
monstrated his capacity for handling
men and pushing work in the most
expeditions and satisfactory manner.
Everything ABOUT these vast ranches
moves along like clock work under
Charles judiCioas aud careful man
agement II should be satisfaction
to him. too, as ii is certainly to his
employers, to contemplate the result
of his efficient management, in the
thousands OF acses of gram and alfai.
f., every acre OF which was sown aud
irrigated uuder his supervision and
it is compliment to his ability to
handle men. too, that his directions
are carried out so faithfully by the
various f.remen OF the camps and by
his men generally. He has ju com
pleted a line of fence along the reser
vation. The zanjero for the .mpany,
Chas. Lewis, makes his headquarters
here on his daily visits to that section.
Charlie Hill may. be rough and
tumble sort of fellow, but he attends
to business aud looks vel to the n
teres!s of b s employers.
Gazette There is classical story,
perhaps a myth, of a young. fair and
blooming mosher who gave to her
aged and hungry father the milk
from her breasts to preserve his life;
but in this city there is case of self
sacrifice in more natural order --the
father for his boys sake-and it is a
realistic fact. Ben Vermillion, the
father of the little boy who was so
terribly lacerated in the turn-table
at Mesa during the Sunday school
picnic recently, yesterday had 1O7
pieces of cuticle taken from his arm
by DR.. Tuttle and grated upon Ell
dies leg. These pieces are very small.
but in the a aygr egate they make quite
an area. Three hundred more pieces
have to be taken before the cuticle of
the boy will be entirely restored. AS
a surgical operation it is not re-
garded as anything extraordinary
nowadays. but few years ago it void
have been heralded broadcast as won
derful. The fathers devotion to his
boy is deserving of all p aise.
