LONG DRIVE FOR WAGER.
An Indiana Man Rides to Portland,

A rather unique looking procession
wendell its way down the main street
Of Barker City. Ore. recently. on its way
to Portland. The outfit consisted of
three covered wagons. followed by a
carriage drawn by a pair Of thorough
bred yearling ponies. 1t was the latter
that attracted the most attention. says
the San Francisco Examiner.
In the carriage sat an old man,
whose weather-beaten face showed the
influence Of the effects Of sun and wind.
To q reporter he said: "My name is
IL. II. Slyter. My family and self
started on April II from Howard u

Prepared BY Q. L Hood 4 Co. Lowell. MAJ

the Hon. Chief Justice Of the Su.
p-sme Court, who was a member OF
the present c~anvassing board, as a
member of the board under the Con-
stitution Ordinance to count the same
or canvass it. they should have done
50 il such was tin, opinion OF the pres
eni board, then, il they believe the
vote should have been counted at all,
it seems to us that he should have
proceeded to canvass the Vote in con
nection with the other members
thereof, instead Of not canvassIng it
because the then sitting board could
not do it. IT 10 a duty he should
have performer as a member Of an
other b rard. and the people may well
ask, Why did not such board perform
the duty?
Orr supreme Court held in the
Lynip-Buckner case that the inspect
ors Of elections could not deprive
legal voters of their votes by igno-
rance or failure to perform their
nuties in removing the numbers ON
the b.Ilots before deposit'n ing the
votes in the ballot boxes.
Can this board, by a neglect to can
vasa, deprive the voters of their votes
or the persons receiving the same the
right to have them counted for themf
But there ID another question which
we think the board may not have had
its attention called to which, it would
seem to us, has an Important bearing
on this matter, and that is. Is the law
carrying the constit utional provision
into effect in fact repealed? No
donbt the Legislature attempted to
repeal it and did all they could in
that direcuon, but a serious question
arises, Could they do it without maxi
ing some other provision of law for
carrying the constitutional provision
into effect?
Our Supreme Court in one Of its
opinions says: "rhe power Of the
Legislature to repeal a law enacted
for the purpose Of carrying into effect
a provision Of the constlt ton with.
out at the same time passing rome
other law to make it effective is a
question that will not DO discussed
Tin the case before the court).
The intimation Of the court is here
strongly made that the power does
not exist in the Legislature. In the
present matter this question OF legls.
lative power might be all-important.
We have had no time to investigate
the opinion Of other courts in the
matter, but reason and justice, it
would seem, should be- against the
Legislative power.
Ii the Legislature did not have the
power Of repeal in this matter with
out enacting some other law to carry
out the constitution provisions re-.
gardIng soldiers votes thou, 1t world
seem to us, that there is no valid
reasun why the present board should
not have canvasse | the vote.-Win.

MEASURE FOR MEASURE.

The editor of the Reno Journal
don't seem to like our reply to its
unjust and untruthful ihsinuatiols
and accuses us of going outside Of lie.
gitimate journalism and good breed
ing in replying to them. The reply
was cut pat of precisely the same ma
terial as his Oh Irges were. II they
were CONSISTENT with the high ideal he
would set up for US, the reply meas
ures up o,the same at ,ndari. The
fact is the editor OF the journal has
either been imposed upon or else he
is SO badly disgruntled that he cannot
do justice to those who diff r with
him.
The INDEPENDENT item that has
called ont this tilt with the journal
was an honest error and was cheer
fully corrected as soon as our atten-
ton was called to it. There was
nothing secret OF hidden either in the
error or CORRECTION. Both we're rs
honestly written as the Journals
comments. To make the matter per-
fectly 'plnin to the Journal we will
state that when the county conven-
ton vas held the editor of the INDIE
pendent was in the State of New
York and did not see the published
proceedings. Some time after the
election we stated that Mr.. G4dney
was nominated by the convention and
could not, the re fore, vote for Senator
Stewart, or omething to that effect.
This statement was CHALLENGED by a
citizan OF Elko who stated that the
INDEPENDENT was wrong regarding
Mr.. G adner's nomination by the con.
We ,tion and that he wa placed ON the
ticket by the executive committee.
This we contradicted at the time, but
so positive was u informant that we
promised to Look the matter. up and
make the correction if we had made a
mis- statement. This we did some time
after, but in doing 80 omitted to read
the Last lays pro ,eedings of the cop-
vention. W. consulted the record O;
the county com mittee and failed to
find therein any mention of Mr.. Ged-
ney's nomination. It never occurred
to us TO consult Mr.. Trlplett or any,
q ell who was at the convention,
surprising, Of course, that the record
was CORE ct.
II the Journal editor, after reading
this explanation, persists in insisting
That the mistake was wiltnlly and in
t%entionally made in order TO throw
di5credit upon Mr.. GedDey or pla -
him in Il false position, he Is welcome
to his opinion. IL he does not, he
shou d make the proper amends to
Mr.. Gedney and the INDEPENDENT.
II he will lay aside all prejudice and
allow his sense Of justice to assert it.

that he will be manly enough to
acknowledge his error. II he does

II. 1898. 1t is ssintended 70 erect Z xnoIu-
mert designed to perpetuate ana further
extend the distinction Of California a.
q state rich in minerals and to revive
some OF the earlier memories OF the Ar
aDnauts who poured into California in
the winter of 1S49 and the spring Of 1850
after the fame of California's gold fields
had become national. The monument
is to be composed OF as great variety
of mineral substances produced In the
state as possible. 1t Is assumed that the
ores, building stones, ETC., will be given
freely by counties. communities and in
dividuals, and for the artistic features OF
the monument 1t is proposed to raise
fund of one million dollars. The mineral
wealth of California, though chiefly. Is
not wholly in gold. The silver product
of the state. though not as large as that
of Nevada or Colorado, Is considerable,
and California produces more than one-
quarter of the whole worlds supply Of
quicksilver. Copper and antimony are
also produced, though not in amounts as
large as some other states. In the
product of copper California Is fourth
among the states and territories, but
1t is not to be supposed that the copper
product of gold states will be made un-
duly. prominent at the January ami
versary. In calling attention to the
past glories of California in the gold
producing line 1t is hoped by some of
those in charge of the details to create
a new boom for the mining interests Of
California, which have languished some-
what of late and are now menaced by
rivalry on the Pacific further north.
