SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 80.
The terms of settlement agreed
upon in the litigation of both sides
in the Comstock North End mines
has been satisfactorily adjusted. The
Mexican, Union Con. and Savage
companies will rejoin the Comstock
Pumping Association and all parties
are to resume work. No changes
were made in the official supervision.
1t is the aim now to vigorously pro-
mote development in the interest of
the shareholders and all other inter-
ests with mines of the Comstock.
The above is the most cheering
news received in this city for many
a day, and will no doubt result in
greater activity in the mines than for
a long time. With all interests pull
ing together and deep mining resum-
ed there is no reason why big and
better ore bodies should not be dis
covered at depth. The most learned

OVERLAPPING
The calamity game mas been overplayed.

The calamity game mas been overplayed.
1t has been overphyed by the railroads. 1t has been overpayad
by Wall street ]: has been overplayed by the banks. 1t has been over
played by big business in general Evidence is multiplying that the
country is tired Of ii, and that it is disguised with the methods of &C
celebration that lave been used to exploit it.
The American people are not fools. They are not disposed to CIT
off their noses to spite their faces. They are not given to burning
down the barn in order to get rid OF the ats. A few weeks ago there
was a strongly increased sentiment that government vas pressing too
hard upon business, and that a breathing spell va desirable. Public
opinion in general favored the railroads in their plea for a 5 pei cent
increase in freight -ates. 1t favored the postponement of the antitrust
bills until the short session of congress. There was general sympathy
with the great corporations in their petitions for a truce. That sym
pathy has been largely dissipated.
We doubt ii there wa any conspiracy" such as the president ss-
pccted; but there wa certainly too much team work in the exploitation
of calamty-too many mimeographed letters, too many form kilograms,
to- many protests framed in identical language, too much proof that
one directing mind had instgaed the whole campaign, too much evil
lience OF a concerted effort to bluff the president, the congress and the
country.
Such methods are likely to defeat themselves, and in this case the
defeat is decisive.
There is a growing feeling that the Interstate Commerce commits.
sion has not been iladvised in putting the acid test o the petition of
the railroads for increased rates. The kind of railroad finance that has
been dragged to light in the New Haven Ease, the Rock Island case,
the Frisco case and the Pere Marquette case has done anything but
increase public confidence in the integrity OF railroad management AMI
in the truthuness Of railroad claims.
Instead of hating antitrust legislation, the campaign of calamity
has made it certain that congress will pass all of the administrators
measures before it adjourns. Incidentally, the country remembers how
cuuency bill and how unanimously they approved of it after it became a
using the same kind of bundozing tactics to which banking resorted.
