to inaugurate in that Presidential contest the
greatest and most radical political revolution
in the history of the civilization Of modern or

open the way for this new and radical politEcal

CRAWFORD COUNTY PLAY.-The Grass Valley


Union, Democratic paper, humorously recon-
mends the adoption of the Crawford county plan
by the Republicans. 1t says I" The candidates
who are nominated by the Craw ford plan and
who are afterwards beaten by the people, as
such nominees most generally are, can have the
proud satisfaction of knowing that at least they
were nominated in straight forward manner,
and directly by their party. This we say is good
for the Republican party, the members of which
party had universally rather be right than be
county officers. The Democrats should not use
the Crawford plan, because when a Democrat
is candidate for Office, he wants the place and
the pay, and perquisites of the Office. Therefore
it would be folly for the Democrats to nominate
on the plan that insures defeat The Sacra-
mento Union is correct in its advice to the Re-
publicans. They should follow that paper in
the nominating business

JAY Cooke l. Co., the financial agents of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, report that at the
present date, the grading is nearly finished for
two hundred and sixty-six miles, from Lake ST.
perior, through Central Minnesota, to the cas-
tern border of Dakota trains are passing over
one hundred and thirty miles of completed
track; the Mississippi river is bridged at Brain
erd and once more joined to the lakes by rail,
and track laying is rapidly progressing west
ward. BY September next, trains will run TO
the Red river, and the grading will probably be
far advanced toward the Great Bend of the Mis-
souri, river in Central Dakota. In the mean
time, work has been commenced the present
season on the Pacific Coast large force of
men is already employed in the valley of the
Columbia river, in Washington Territory, and
hereafter the work of construction will be pushed
both eastward and westward toward the center
with such rapidity as the best interests of the
road may justify. Including its purchase of the
St. Paul and Pacific Road, the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company has four hundred and thirteen
miles of road now in operation, and before the
close of the present season the length of finished
track will be at least five hundred and sixty
miles. The new highway to the Pacific is being
constructed at the lowest cost compatible with
frst-class work.-Mdrysuilte Appeal.

In the choice of candidates for State Offices
not only our duty, but necessity, requires that
the best and strongest men in the party should
be placed in nomination. 1t would be useless
for the party to make canvass on any other is
sue as il would be almost certain to result in
our defeat. Names or men are of small conse-
quence when weighed in the balance of our pro-
gressve party principles. The Republican party
stands to-day on the proudest eminence in
Chistendom. The spirit of our free institutions
permeates the nations and the oppressed in every


land look up with veneration and love to that
Starry Banner which secures equal rights to all.
The mission of the Republican party is not to ell
evate this or that man TO political power-its
aim should be more pure and unselfsh-its OBJ
ject the progressive advancement of the human
race with the greatest good to all. In the COM
ing canvass we hope to see above and beyond
every other question, union and harmony per-
wade our ranks. 1t is the only pathway to viz
tory, and by its adoption our success is rendered
almost certain. II would be strange if we did
not have our preferences, but it would be not
less unreasonable to peril the success of our
party on the nomination of this or that candi-
date. The names which as yet have been men
toned in connection with the Governorship, are
those of pure and honest men-no true Republic
can could hesitate a moment TO cast his vote for
either. Let us, as party, in the coming con-
test, stand shoulder TO shoulder in the front
ranks of battle, determined to know no defeat.
Let us remember that we are coutendug for
principles, not men every Republican in the
State should be willing to stand by those candi-
dates which the Copvention may select we see
no other course to pursue if we would win back

A Salt Lake dispatch reports that the
transactions in mining property in Utah
last week amounted to 81 SOC, ,000 and that
arrangements were making to organize a
Stock Board and Exchange. We also
learn that several large sales of Utah min
ing stocks have lately been made by cable
in London. Money is SO plenty on both
sides of the water that this new field for
speculation seems likely to be eagerly
bought, and we may have revival of the
old mining stock excitements of years
gone by. Is it worth while to warn against
such danger?


Byron says that the pleasure of being
cheated is almost as great as that of cheat
ing, but not many Wall street operators
would take so philosophical view of the
two ends of swindle. Many of the Utah
mines are undoubtedly very rich and valu-
able, but they have not yet been opened
long enough to warrant speculation in
them by operators at distance. The talk
about organizing Mining Stock Board in
Salt Lake City looks as though a new min
ing stock fever was to be manufactured,
whose principal victims will be the Eastern
capitalists. 1t will be safe to look carefully
into the Utah mining stocks before pur-
chasing. .. .-.

Senator Sherman made speech at Tole-
do last evening, in which he reviewed the
financial errors of the Ohio democrats.
The proposition of General Ewing, that
the government "make money easy and
interest light" by issuing one billion dol
lars in paper money, which shall be legal
tender for all purposes, and especially to
pay off the five-twenty bonds, was shown
to be simply the impracticable scheme of a
demagogue. Senator Sherman, in reply,
took strong ground in opposition to all
plans for initiation and in favor of the ear
liest possible return to specie payments.
Many of the leading western Republicans
have been doubtful upon these questions !;
they have in fact been considered friendly
to an unsound financial policy, and this
plain statement by Senator Sherman will
have much influence. 1t shows that the
public opinion of the Western States has
been .misrepresented. Senator Sheaman
now expresses the sentiment of the whole
country upon the true financial policy for
the government.-NetU York Post.

whom they style the African Fire King.
He gave an exhibition of his powers -

of them describes the results thus: He first
heated shovel red hot and applied it to
the bottom of one of his feet. It made no
impression on him, whatever He next
heated shovel red hot and licked it re-
peatedly with his tongue. It did not even
dry the saliva in his mouth. He then put
his hand into hot stove and took there
from red hot anthracite coal and offered
1t TO the spectators, who declined to accept
the present. His hand was not even
scorched. He then called out to know II
there We're any unbelieversn present.
To his astOnishmant. we announced our
selves still an unbelieyer.u He then
put shovel in the stove and partially
filled it with shot, and when the shot had
got pretty hot, he stirred them with his
naked fingers till the lead had melted. He
then took the shovel in his right hand and
poured the hot melted lead into his left
hand, and then poured the burning solu-
ton into his mouth, kept it there till it
cooled, and spit it out in a lump. We then
expressed ourselves entirely satisfied, He
said "that was only $20 performance; il
they would make him up $50 he would
show something worth seeing."
