regards this a good tlrno for thinking.
EVF.HV republican , and foe that matter
every good citi/un who desires to exor
cise the right of suH'raco at the coming
election should sea to it personally that
his name is on the voters' register of the
ward in which he resides. The registni' '
lion this fall is all now , and no names
are carried over.
TiiKiin is one lighting editor less in the
country. Mr. D. R. Anthony lias sold
his paper to a syndicate of Jloston news
paper men. Mr. Anthony has been a
conspicuous nnd successful figure in
American journalism. Ho has had as
many personal encounters as any living
editor , nnd worked his way to success
through many obstacles.
ACCOUDINO to Councilman Lowry it
was a dastardly outrage for one of the
democratic members of the nolice com
mission to stand at the street corner in
the neighborhood of the Fourth ward re
publican primary , but it was all right for
Paddy Ford to act as recruiting officer
for a gang of Third , ward thugs , who
were trying to capture the Fourth ward
primary with non-residents and re
peaters.
TUB report of harsh cruelties inllicted
on settlers by a British syndicate owning
land in Iowa will , if verified , do much
to intensify public hostility to alien
landlordism in this country. The facts
as reported from Washington are not at
all incredible , but it will bn most sur
prising if the brutality is permitted to
go on unchecked , or some effort LS not
inado to bring to merited punishment
these who have outraged every consider
ation of humanity , to say nothing of jus
tice , iu driving the unfortunate and help
less settlers from their possessions. It is
to bo hoped the account is greatly exag
gerated , but thcro is undoubtedly in the
matter enough to warrant investigation.
Eviction cruelties and outrages must not
bo tolerated in this hind.
THE republican campaign iu Iowa has
opened with great vigor and there is
promise that it will not bo allowed to
Hag. Senator Allison , Governor Larra-
boo and other distinguished loaders are
in the Held and the work they are to do
has been fully mapped out. It will keep
them well occupied until the day of
election. No doubt is entertained re
garding the result on the stata ticket ,
but the republicans have wisely deter
mined not to permit themselves to rest
In conlidonce , and nearly a thousand
meetings during the campaign have been
arranged for. I/iko the republicans of
other states these of Iowa understand
the importance of n sweeping victorv
this year nnd they intend to win If.

The President's Tnlkn.
We regret to observe a dispoiitlon to
depreciate tbo intelligence of Mr. Cleveland -
land regarding this great country , and
to make it appear that the information
ho has been imparting to the few com
munities lie has thus far honored with
a moreor less prolonged visit was
freshly gleaned before his departure
from the capital of tha nation by nn
Industrious research ot the cyclopedia.
Mr. Ltana , of the New York Sun , who ,
we believe , had something to do with
building up that very valuable com
pendium of information , the American
Cyclopedia , was quito naturally the first
to discover that there was a striking
similarity in the president's facts re
garding. Indianapolis and these con
tained ID the work to which the distin
guished editor of the Sun contributed ,
and though noting a slightly different
literary arrangement in the presenta
tion of the facts still concluded that thny
weru derived from the aforesaid work.
The obvious purpose of. this allegation is
to show both that Mr. Cleveland was
largely Ignorant of the localities he waste
to visit and tliat in order that this might
not appear he resorted to a somewhat
meretricious means of gratifying public
expectation by the display of a little
superficial knowledge readily acquired
from the books. Mr. Dana does not like
Mr. Cleveland.
A fair viaw. of the matter will not , wo
think , result to the disparagement of the
president. It is not reasonabjo to sun-
pose that he could have known much
about Indianapolis , nnd there has
never been uny special reason until
tills tour was projected why ho
should inform himself regarding that
rather quiet and stupid city. There is
very little in its history to iuvito the at
tention of the student from more profit
able investigation , to which there is no
limit , and the rapid march of events with
Mr. Cleveland may well excuse him for
not having fortnnd an earlier acquaint
ance with so comparatively unimportant
a place off Indianapolis' . Hut every com
munity has a-pride in itself that upon oc
casion it.ls desirable to flatter , and it was
a piece of shrewdness on the president's
part , perhaps suggested by the far-seeing
Lament , to.convey to the Hoosier com
munity the impression that lie was en
tirely familiar witli its history , in fact
had made it a favorite part of hia
researches * . In the uncertainty
regarding : the future political
course of Indiana such an impression
would bo likely to have more weight in
Mr. Cleveland's interest than any other
ho could have made. The cyclopedia
was prepared for just such exigencies , as
every newspaper man knows , and all
such should bo the last to question the
propriety or legitimacy of its use in this
instance. Undoubtedly the president
told the majority of these who hoard him
a great deal that was new to them.
On the whole the president's talks thus
far have been rather creditable to him ,
in so far as they huvo bcenfroo from any
expressions that could be used to his dis
advantage. Granting thatgonerally they
have been rather commonplace , they
have still been safe and have given no of
fense in any quarter. He will be for
tunate if the good judgment he has thus
far shown shall remain with him to the
end of his journey.
PernlclniiH Activity.
Public attention is being widely di
rected to Uio letter written by the presi
dent about a year ago in which he de-
lined the political rights of ollino holders ,
and prescribed the limitations within
which they might properly bo exercised.
One of the clauses of the letter reads :
"Tho influence of federal ofllco holders
should not be felt iu the manipulation of
political primary meetings and nominat
ing conventions. ' " It was understood
when this edict wan issued that it was the
intention of the president to insist upon
a thorough ; obedience to its requirements ,
and that any one shown to have disre
garded it would bo visited with summary
dismissal from oflico. It encountered a
good dual of hostile criticism from dem
ocrats , but the imme'diato effect waste
to somewhat checK the political ac
tivity ol these in oflico. For a time they
were comparatively quiet and stood
aloof.
The effect was not lasting , however.
The first conspicuous disogard of the or
der was by tha men whom Senator Gor
man , of Maryiaud , bad foisted upon the
public sevice , although accusations of
pernicious activity had been made
against democratic federal officials in
other localities , The bold and defiant
course of Uiggins , llaisin and others of
Baltimore , was , however , the beginning
of a repudiation of the president's views
of ofliccholdors' political rights , which has
since been very widely practiced , and will
doubtless be more so in tbo political con
tests which are to take place between now
and tha national battles of next year.
The activity of democratic oflicc
holders in Pennsylvania at the last state
convention is notorious , and while they
were less conspicuous at the late New
York convention it is well known that
they wore exeeodinzly active in manipu
lating the machinery by which the dele
gates were chosen. In Ohio they have
been somnwhat less zealous , but evi
dences of their handiwork have not been
wholly wanting. It is now reported that
the federal officials in Louisiana are en
gaged in ono of the most remarkable
campaigns over known in that state. A
party including the minister to Mexico ,
at homo on leave of absence , a district
attorney and the coiner of the mint , are
in the name of the administration waging
a bitter warfare on the regular democ
racy , carrying the campaign into
every quarter ot the state. The
event is sicniiicant as an ex
ceptionally bold violation of the pres
ident's edict against pernicious activity.
Presumably this Louisiana matter has
not boon brought to the attention of the
president. Hut when it shall bo there is
no probability that ho will take any
action , lie has done nothing to enforce
respect for his order , although the evi
dence of its violation iu several conspic
uous instances must have been clear to
him , as it certainly was to everybody
else , and ho will be loss likely to do any
thing hereafter. He may interpose for a
truce in the Louisana conflict , because it
would bo to his advantage to do so , but
there will bo no one punished , It may
no expected that as the time of the na
tional battle draws nearer pernicious
activity among democratic federal oflice
holders , will become freer and.moro gen , '
oral , and Mr. Cleveland for obvious rc.t
sons will grow less disposed to interfcn
wjth ( t. Indeed , n laag as the Marylaiu
crowd is permitted to remain ID office ,
the president is so heavily handicapped
that ho cannot with any show of consist
ency punish other violators ot his order ,
however bold and defiant tholr disrccard
of It may bo. Thus "pernicious activity"
has become a mere by-word , and thu
famous letter of Mr. Cleveland a thine of
emptiness , signifying nothing.
The American Doef Pool.
The pool formed by the oattlo pro
ducers promises to become a stupendous
affair , If carried out according to present
intentions. Mr. Armour , to whom the
association has promised all the cattle
under their control , would seem to hold
the key to the greatest trust in the coun
try. In effect it will give him control of
the entire dressed boot industry of the
land and consolidate all markets into
ono. It is claimed , however , that the
prlco of boot will not bo raised to the
consumer. The cattle producers will
have tbo benefit of the combination.
They have always complained that
the middlemen received too great
profits. No matter how cheap or
how high beef on foot might
bo , the price to consumers has varied but
littlo. Mr. Armour , it is said , will
merely act as the agent of the associa
tion , receiving pay for services rendered ,
and assuming no risks. Dot it will be in
his power to drain tha cattle ranges.
Other beef packers can not enter the
combination except with his consent.
Representatives of the pool say it will
make no difference to them whether ono
man docs the packing or a hundred , and
they preferred co-operating rather than
lighting wltti him. Tills plan seems to
bo the final result of thn many methods
which the cattlemen hava been consider
ing dnnng the summer , nnd is an at
tempt to revive the the stock raising in
dustry in the west , which has been in a
decline for some timo. It is thought that
this measure will have tha eli'oct they do-
siro. It looks as though Mr. Armour
has hero the material for the biggest
monopoly in the world.
The Ostrich Policy.
The council has tabled the appeal of
the police commission for judicial arbi
tration without allowing it to bo read.
In view of the fact that this appeal had
already been published the refusal to have
it read in open session is , to call it by a
mild name , very childish. Councilman
who voted to table it arc simply playing
ostrich. They cannot pretend to bo
ignorant of the contents of the petition
which they tabled , and they will
justly bo held responsible for
obstructing good government. A man
who owes a moat bill can't deny that the
bill was presented by slamming his door
in the face of the butcher. It would
have been more manly to have read the
appeal and referred it to soina commit
tee even if the intent was to pigeon hole
it. But the serious side of this action is
the fact that it affords proof that tnc ma
jority faction of the council persist in a
revolutionary course which has already
damaged the city's reputation abroad
and incites turbulence and lawlessness
at home.
THE treaty excluding Chinese immi
gration provides that all the Chinese in
the country at the tirao it was negotiated
might come and go at will. It is this
clause in the treaty which has served the
federal courts as a pretense for ruling
*
that Chinese who do not comeprovided
with the certificate the restriction law
requires may enter upon proof of pre
vious residence. When such nro refused
admission by port oflioials , habeas
corpus proceedings are begun in the
courts , and although the proof is often
of the flimsiest character , the persons
seeking an entrance rarely fail to re
ceive it , for the reason that there is
money in the business which the court
officials are not disposed to losa. There
are every generous fees for the clerks
and others , and it 'haa been broadly
intimated by the collector at San Fran
cisco that the judges have not been averse
to giving the court employes the largest
opportunity to profit by this business.
The result has been the practical nullifica
tion of the law , but oven worse than this
is the discredit brought upon the federal
judiciary. It is hardly possible after the
exposures and allegations that have been
made , from responsible sources , that the
matter will bo allowed to escape investi
gation. _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TUB offer of the treasury to buy $14,000-
000 of bonds ai their fane value will expire
two days hence , and it seems quite cer
tain that the amount will not bo pre
sented for purchase. Thus far the oiler-
ings hava been about $10,000,000. It is
quite probable that thu treasury will extend -
tend the time , so that the conlidonco
which its policy thus far has created maybe
bo maintained. Hut the significance of
the small amount of bonds thai has been
offered under the treasury's two pro
posals , aggiogating but little mora than
$21,000,000 , should not bo lost sight of.
It shows that thnro was very little real
foundation for the outcry that has been
made of u savoro stringency of money
threatening a financial crisis , and sug
gests very strongly that speculators were
largely responsible for the alarm that
was so industriously sounded. The
truth appears to bo that while there is
not an abundance of money for bull
speculation there is quite sufficient for all
legitimate purposes , and it will doubtless
bo just as well for the country if the situa
tion in this respect is not changed. At all
events the secretary of the treasury will
bo wise in giving no heed to Wall street
clamor and adhering to tlm course ho has
thus far pursued.
THE latest and most awful charge laid
at the door of "Uosowator" is that ho
has his eye on the United States senate.

Hnvcil By Throe Foot.
It is a well known fact that in all parts
of the city where grading on streets has
been done that walls of earth on each
side of the thoroughfare raise to a height
sometimes of twenty-live feet. Ono of
these is on Loavcnworth strnot , between
Twenty-second and Twenty-fourth ,
where the bank unprotected rises to the
height mentioned. Yesterday morning ,
while Al Coggcshall and J. J. Johnson
were passing by a couple of tons of earth
dropped to the walk scarcely three feet
in front of them. If they had been a
moment later they would have been
buried and undoubtedly crushed beneath
the mass of earth. It has been sug
gested , in view of the number of these
unprotected walls of earth aud the dan
ger to be feared from them- that the
board of public works should take some
steps to guard against their doing injury
by thus fulling.

The case of the gamblers capturud
over the Turf Exchange a few days ago
had n hearing before Judge Berka last
evening. All of the prisoners wore dis
charged except "Bud" Copcland aud
Henry Hull' , who have a continuance
until the 17th. The evidence in the case
seems to bo wholly circumstantial. The
evidence acramst Huff is that while he *
was not actually seen playing , ho was
observed sitting in the dealer's chair
with the cards and chips in front of him
and nearly a hundred dollars was found
m the drawer of thu table , which ho has
since offered to take and irivo a receipt
for. The table was surrounded by per
sons apparently in the act of playing ,
and everything indicated that at the
time of the surprise a game was actually
in progress.

in Falconer's dry goods store yesterday

Judge Berka fined him $40 and costs.

Virginia City Enterprise : It may
sound lkea ! , wild declaration , but Ne
vada is bound to bo onu ol the most pro
ductive states iu the Union. It posossas
advantngus iu thu composition of its soil
that are far superior to that of the great
Mississippi valley advantages that will
always exist'ano > bcuonie more noticeable
as time rolls by. It appears rehmrkabln
to the newcomer that the apparently
desert waste will yield the quality and
quantity of regulable products that are
raised in this stale. Hero they look for
thu rich black loam common in. the mid
dle stt.tc ? and thoabsonco of this partic
ular soil impresses them with the idea
that our soil Jacks richness. Nevada
soil is not of vegetable creation exclu
sively , but to the contrary is produced
by the decomposition of rock formation ,
pregnant with mineral and of that char
acter that gives strength to the = oil that
is perpetual. The o\nlation of mineral
is continual , hcnco the soil is constantly
receiving .hoiiuu'rs through natural
sources that invigorate it.
Our native gra.H ( "i are stronger nd
more nutritious than thosn of the middle
anil western state- ) , and why ? Because
the latter are almost purely the produc
tion of vegetable * soil , while the grasses
in Nevada ab-oru from the soil the min
eral properties that make them nutri
tious and stronsr. Our cattle , oven those
that are fattened upon the rantre , make
fatter and sweeter beef than these of the
middle and western statessimply became
they obtain In the t-'rassus mineral prop
erties tlmt are health giving and fat pro
ducing. This is why Nevada beef is
sought aftnr. pur soil pq essus all the
medicinal qualilie- . essential to thu pro
duction of grain grasses of uvory de
scription aud also of health giving vogu-
tables. Thu richness ajul purity of our
cereals , bcol and vegetables is the suorot
of the general good health of our JKJOII-
lace. coupled with un invigorating ,
glorious climate. That timu is not fir :
distant when every sago briifch Hut in this
state that can IKJ watered by natural or
artificial means will bo covered with
waving grain. Nevada is an agricul
tural state , one that will plav tier part ,
and nobly , too , in the history of Amer
ican agriculture.
The comity clerk is hard at work on
the county election proclamation , and it
will probably be isoucd to-day.
HOW A BROKER IS INITIATED ,

Street Have to Pass.

r.rncst Dlckinrtn.
New York Star : Every member of tha
tock exchange has not boon on the floor
and probably will never go on , nt least
when the board la in session. They have
not the hardihood to go through the rites
which are performed by the brokers on
the drat advent of persons In the big room
where million * change hands daily. The
broker's initiation is ten times worse
than riding the goat in any secret society
and fully as barbaric na the course through
which the Sons of Malta used to put no
vitiates.
Included in the owners of seats who
liavo never ventured among the howling
brokers nro Philip 1) . Armour , Nathaniel
S. Jones and Norman 1) . Ream , the big
Chicago speculators ; Congressman >
liam L. Scott , of Krio , Pa. ; C. P. Hunt-
ingtou , the railway king , and J. I ) .
Rockefeller and William Uoekefcllur , tha
Standard oil potentates ; the last three ot
New York. Not everybody will under
stand why mnn will pay $ ' , ' 0,000 or0,000 ; !
for a Seat and never go into the exchange.
The mt'n named buy and sell large quan
tities of stock in their financial operations
and their memberships enable them to
employ brokers nt exactly half the com-
mishlon which non-member * nro com
pelled to pay. Their investments in
seats are thivrcfore remunerative.
Tbe whole exchange turns upon the
now member the moment hu gets inside
thu door , , and ho feels as if he was going
through a threshing machine for the next
half hour. First his hat is smashed with
such force as to nearly slice his ears oil
and to produce a bewildering astronomi
cal display before- his eyes. Next ho ia
jerked oil'bis feet and shot through the
air , while hundreds of hands ore clutchIng -
Ing at his coitt and are trying to rip it olT
his back , lie ia used like u foot ball , and
when m about tbe proper shape for the
ambuluncc , he is looked limp and almost
lifeless by a. door , through which ho
crawls to safety.
Jay Gould never joined " 10 stock ex
change , and thcroforo nt'or had the
privilege of going on the lloor. Kxactly
Why ho did not present hid name for
membership when ho waa a heavy opera
tor , in order to ollect a savingin commis
sions , ia not clear , tfo wa connected
with stock linns at ditl'erent times , and
derived the benefit of these connections
iu the orderBthat were executed for him.
His eldest son George bought a seat M > tm
after attaining his majority aud straight
way faced the nniHiu on the lloor. Ho is
in tlm bountiful nomenclature of Boston ,
very "handy with his dukes. " but ho
kept them down anil allowed himself to
hu mauled and hiiulcd until his assniiants
wore tired. No new member was ever
more good natural 9\'or his initiation
than young Gould. Ills hat was smashed
and ills clothes wro tornbut thesis things
made no impression on IIIH temper. Ho
never gws tit thu board nowadays , but il
he did hu would he unmolested.
Ex-Congrnssmau Russell Sago is .1
member of the exchange. Ho has not
been within its portals in years , lie
would be apt to reeoivo a rousing recep
tion if ho appeared on the lloor. It ia
doubtful if bo will evrr ire among the
brokers ngoin. Cyrus W. Field nuvor ac
quired a seat. His bon , Cyrtia W. Field ,
jr. , is a member.
When Krnest Dickmnn joined ho
marched into the room ull uneoiiKcioua
of tbo danger that lurked near. Every
body seemed glad to sue him. The
handshakes wore so vigorous that they
nearly pulled his amis out of the sock
ets , in a few minutus ho thought ho waa
in the bear pit. Ho was yanked in first
ono direction and then the other. At last
he was tossed into the box under ono of
the old telegraph operators' stand and
the cover was shut down. Ho was kept
there half the afternoon. When ho was
let out he looked as if he bad boon spend
ing a vacation in a coal mine.
There wai a member of the cxchango
two years ngo who was a surpassingly
line subject for initiation. Ho had long
flowing red side whiskora and did not
look as if hu knew nnv more than tha
law allowed , although it turned out af
terward that ho did. lie was at once
called ' 'No.3 Red" , thu standard gr.ulo of
wheat. His luxurious Hide whiskers were
pulled until briny tears run down his
cheeks , and ho was pounded on the back
so hard that his lungs were threatened
with coliapie. The abuse heaped on hint
wns unusimllv bountiful , but ho was a
speculative Moses in the way of meek
ness.
ness.After n little ho beeamo interested in ft
ionir distance telephone , and of
fered stock. in the company
for sale among the brokers. He had
a telephone iu his ollicc and let purchas
ers of stock test its merits by talking
with Chicago. It nftcrw.int turned out ,
thu brokurn who bought the stock claim ,
that the man who wits supposed to be in
Chicago was siniply down In the cellar.
When this fuct was revealed the stock
holders understood bettor how it wns
that they could hear so plainly through
thn telephon.o.
The person who is the subject of the
jokes and pranks will , if ho knows when
lie is well off , try to have tit , good a time
: IH anybody else over what is done. Ho
will 'bo dropped in future demonstra
tions1. Tlm porsoiiH who whew their dis
pleasure when they are inarched around
and made to do ridiculous things : ire the
ones who never have any peace. If they
made complaint they would be boycotted ,
and if they fought they would DO sus-
pcmli'd. They have uolhiug to do but
endure the agony.
