THE *417.4 RE LOCATION.
.-r .' I
Petitions from mining camps in nearly
all parts of Nevada are being presented
to Congress against the passage of the
new mining bill. The most vigorous pro
test yet made against the bill was from
citizens of White Pine county, in this
State. They argne that the enactment
of the section which proposes to confine
ledge owners within vertical boundary
planes, will work irreparable injury to
every branch of mining industry in Ne
vada, incite, frauds and blackmail suits,
and paralyse the energies of all indus
trious citizens. They further repre
sent that the requirements of the bill in
regard to the manner of locating mining
claims and acquiring title, will practi
cally put an end to prospecting for min
erals in new fields, and destroy all
hopes of new discoveries, and eventu
ally turn our new prosperous State into
what it was previous to the discovery
of the Comstock lode—a desolate waste
inhabited only by a few half-starved
Indians.
The protests against the passage of
the new bill from miners in various
parts of Nevada have been presented
by Congressman Daggett, who, if so
disposed, ought to be able to make a
telling speech against the proposed
change. The trouble is, however, that
the wealthy mine owners in Western
Nevada are in favor of the new bill,
and the Virginia Enterprise, which re
flects their views, came out in a lead
ing article advocating the scpiare loca
tion system, when the bill was intro
duced in the House of Representatives.
Whether Mr. Daggett is in sympathy
with the expressions of the Etrterprise,
has not yet been made apparent.
The fact of bis having pre
aented petitions from miners in
thi3 State against the bill, does
not commit him against the measure.
It is the bounden duty of the represent
atives of the people in Congress \o pre
sent petitions from their constituents,
but it does not follow that their senti
ments are always in accord with the
opinions of the petitioners. A speech
from Mr. Dagget on the subject would
disclose his views, blit that speech has
not yet been made. Of course he will
hesitate before committing himself
against any proposition which the Ter
ritorial Enterprise favors, yet if he
takes aides with the Enterprise he
arrays himself against the miners iu
every camp in the State, outside the
Comstock. Under these circumstances
he may deem discretion the better part
of valor, and say nothing publicly for
or against the new mining bill. This
policy will leave him in a position to
placate the opponents of the bill in out
side mining districts, by informing
them that he presented their protests
against its passage, while at the same I
time he can truthfully say to the
“ Lords of the Comstock” that he said
nothing against the measure.
THE SILVER QCESTIO*.
The silver Question, which divided
parties and localities a year or two ago,
is now solving itself. There is a grow
ing demand for standard dollars in all
parts of the country, and the Govern
ment, which seems to be unable longer
to maintain the prejudice which it en
deavored to create against silver coins,
is now adoping measures to send silver
to those who desire it free of expense.
This must be extrenrely humiliating to
the Administration, which opposed the
passage of the Silver bill, and sent it
back to Congress without the Presi
dent's signature, but it is a result over
which Sherman and Hayes no longer
have any control. The price of silver
is steadily advancing in Europe, and
the supply in London is not sufficient
for the demand. The German Govern
ment, which demonetized silver coin,
also begins to sec the folly of its course,
and, according to reports, is about to
remonetize the debased metal. The
wisdom of Congress in passing the Sil
ver bill over the veto of the eight-t; -
seven President and the remonstrances
of the greatest living financier!?), Hon
est John Sherman, who predicted that it
would result in financial ruin, is now
mating itself apparent even to thosfe
who opposed it, and everybody, except
the members of the Administration,
concede that, sooner or later, silver will
be restored to its former relation with *
gold, and that the increasing demand
for standard dollars in ail parts of the
Union, must compel Sherman to aban
don the project of hoarding these coins
in the Treasury vaults.
TKLKCiKAPHlC ITEMS.
Congressman Newberry, of Michi
gan, has received a private telegram
from interested friends, announcing
that the Wabash Railroad has leased
the Great Western, of Canada, thus
making another trunk line from San
Francisco to New York. James F. Joy
went to Europe for this purpose, to se
cure a lease from the foreign stockhold
ers of the Great Western, and this dis
patch indicates that he has accomp
lished his purpose. Newberry has also
information that the Great Western
will build a line from Welland to Lew
iston, Canada, and then connect with
the Ontario and Western Road, which
was formerly known as the New York
Midland, and runs from Lewiston to
Oswego and New York City. This
gives Jay Gould au unbroken trunk
from San Francisco to New York.
In the primaries in Illinois, up to the
present time, more than half the dele
gates to the State Convention are
Blaine men. General Logan has re
turned to Chicago, and it is understood
will remain through the campaign to
conduct Grant’s battle. The primaries
in Wisconsin indicate that the delega
tion will be for Sherman, and certainly
solid against a third term. Washbnme
and Blaine get a considerable number
of votes.
Hayes has approved the Army appro
priation bill, and vetoed the Deficiency
bill. There is a ‘ stalwart” element in
the Cabinet that iias urged the veto of
the appropriation bill for the army
also, but the Pres dent thinks the Hurd
amendment is strictly gemiain, and in-,
stead of being a restriction is rather to
be considered as an enlargement of the
bill. It does not differ in any degree,
in his mind, from the Army bill that1
was approved by him last year, and
for this reason he has already attached
his signature to the measure.
A bill has been introduced in the
House by Ellis for telegraph service be
tween Boston and Washington and in
termediate postotfices, for the purpose
of testing the practicability of a general ;
system of government postal telegraph
lines, to cheapen the service, etc.* Ex- !
tentions of lines to St. Louis, Chicago, j
New Orleans and other cities are to
come into the plan if Congress so pro
vides. Referred to postal Committee. '
Vice President Wheeler declines the j
use of his name as a candidate for Con- ;
gress, with a view to the possibility of
his being made Speaker of the next
House; and it is announced that, in
case the Legislature of 1881 is Repub
lican, he will be a candidate for United
States Senator.
To-day the commission rates of bro
kers connected with the San Francisco
Board wej^ raised to one dollar for each
transaction under $200, and one-half of
one j)er cent, for all transactions over
$200. This will be the rule in the
future.
A Washington special says : The
Blaine men are calling County Conven
tions throughout Pennsylvania for the
purpose of getting them to instruct
their destined delegates to Chicago to
jjote for Blaine, regardless of the in
struction of the State Convention.
Owing to Bismarck’s nervous system
being much overstrained, the physic
ians of his family urge his temporary
retirement from State affairs, and it is
expected he will take a long leave of
absence.
A West Point Cadet writes to tbe
Newton (Mass.) Journal that the corps
had raised a purse of $1,-000 to ferret
out the Whittaker mystery. The offi
cers are of the opinion that Whittaker’s
woumfs were self-inflicted.
Reports from Virginia City are to the
effect that the Republicans elected the

The immense sale ami great populari
ty of Green’s August Flower in all
towns and villages in the civilized
world has caused many imitators to
adopt similar names, expecting to reap
a harvest for themselves at the expense

troduced in ISfiiS, and for the cure of
dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, With
their effects, such as Sour Stomach,
C'ostivenea*, Sick Stomach, Sick Head
ache, Indigestion, Palpitation of the
