The Bonanza is read hy thousands in lonopali each day and as an advertisement medium lias no ciial m Southern .Nevada. At last evening's Butler shows people wert standing lar out in the street waitintr for ad- mil lance, and the third show was as crowded as the first, and the Bonanza was Ihe cause of the lug crowds heing there. THE- PHILOSOPHER IN POLITICS. The resignation of Arthur ,). Balfour from the leadership of the unionist-conservative partv in Kngland is an event of -world-wide and historic. interest. For .Mr. Balfour, though himself a commoner, is in reality one of the best examples of the slowly hut surely disappearing class of hereditary legislators. Almost from birth Arthur I'allour's career was foreordained; he was cradled in polities and educated for statesmanship. In 1 1n early stage ol his parliamentary career lie as sci tijtl Ins distinct independence ol thought, only iiaiKircapcd hy a cerUiin indolence m action. In the Mis he was one of the brilliant group of young lory aristocrats who sat on the cross benches ol the house of commons, and, in com pany with the more brilliant and agrcssive Kan oupli i Iinrcliill, made things lively ' for both . Iriend and foe. The brief hut sparkling history or wnat came to he known as "the tourth party' a nine group or critics rather than construe lioiiists made its mark on English politics. But l.ortf Randolph's ambition', tinctured with much lb" same glory in sensation that marks his s,m ninston s, political career, and the fact that tin. l-ei.is ol power had fallen into the hands of Ha! loir's uncle, the late Marquis of Salisbury, who urn ii is ncpiiew in ingn place in the government I roie up the brilliant'political coterie, and Artlui B-iiiour during the last quarter of a centim has been forced, willy-nilly, into the position of leadership. During his uncle's long third pre miership from 1S!)r-l!l()2, Balfour was his right- hand, man and succeeded him as prime minister retaining that position till six years ago, when the conservatives went down to defeat. i .Mr. Balfour made little, attempt to hide his personal distaste tor polities; his high intellectual attainments and his devotion to philosophy'- in dined hjni otherwards; but throughout his long and difficult duties he proved himself a faithful public servant. He was a keen debater, with ready wit, rapier-Jikc sarcasm, and the calmest poise, an adroit and resourceful leader and an able statesman. Mis distinguished undo, Salisbury, preferred to spend hours in his laboratory 1o cabinet meet ings, and to Balfour the duties of a minister or leader of the opposition were irksome in com parison with the study of philosophy, while he ;tound pastime in psychical research and physical exercise on the golf links. The English people admired him. as they do all deserving aristoeats. but naturally Balfour could not command the popular following of a Lloyd-CJeorge or the daz zling favor of a Disraeli. .Many of them regarded him as a dilettante statesman, to which imputation his arduous work and devotion to duty were eon elusive answers. But the passing of Hal four is mainly inter esting to us at this distance in that it marks the elimination of another, and probably the last, for many years, at least, of the aristocrat names from leadership in British polities. The Stanleys, t'te Bentincks, the Russells and the Cecils no l.ngcr govern the British empire; the house of lords has become a subordinate appendage to the commons, and the old aristocrats have made way Mir the leaders, not bora in the purple but sons (f ihe people. The defendant in a divorce ease declares that he only kicked his wife as a joke, but of course women have no sense of humor and cannot appre ciate a jest. If a woman were playfully stepped upon by an elephant, she would probably complain. Strange as it may seem, Chief Justice White of the Cnited States supreme court pays no at tention to Mr. Bryan's charge that he is the spe cial representatives of the trusts. THE PROSPECTOR. Bishop has suddenly become the center of in terest for the prospector. The prospector, you have been told, is the man who seeks for the pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow, lie does that, hut he does more. He finds the pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow of fortune, and there by hangs the romantic tale of his life. Romance is an inseparable word from the story of the prospector. It alone carries all the various elements which enter into the strange drama of this odd genus homo of the desert and the mountains. Jt holds together in proper pro portions the mixture of tragedy and comedy; of wealth and poverty; of excruciating hardships and toil, with its reward of languorous ease and luxury. In it are contained those extremes of life, and those intermediate shadings that are spelled out in the full meaning of this word, and of all individual characters of American life, the prospector typifies them in their fullest sense. Because he is romantic, the prospector has received full recognition in song and story. The poet finds in him his most delightful theme, and the novelist, his best material. For his pains the prospector has achieved fame, and for his work, meager remuneration, lie stands well with the fraternity that wanders through Bohemia, and with the elite circles of Ihe artistic, but with the prosaic class that races after the nimble dollar, and with the high-lights of commerce, he cuts but a sorry figure. To them he is nothing but a pawn, to be' used in the great chess game of finance. Financiers laugh at him, politicians ignore hint, the government treats him with contempt. He serves mankind unregarded, and usually un rewarded. His best efforts are discounted by so ciety, and money, or the government takes from him the larger part of that which he finds. Bishop Herald. UNCERTAINTLY OF CONDITIONS IN CHINA. Can the Chinese set up and maintain a stable government? This is the question whose answer the civilized world anxiously awaits. If the answer should prove to be in the affirmative that, result would be most satisfactory to the American people and perhaps to Europe, although this is not so certain. A stable government in China would mean an addition to the roll of the world's great powers and the rise of a nation of wonderful potentialities in war and peace. It would once more disturb the balance of power, a more or less nebulous institution which European diplomacy watches with so much concern and jealousy. On the other hand, a condition of prolonged disorder m a country now conspicuously weak in a military sense would mean partition of the empire, with the great European powers and lapan all clamoring tor a share. The present situation appears in considerable measure to hinge on the personal weight and iiitlueiu-e of Yitan Shih Kai. He appears to be a sort or middieiilan. not committed to either side ii : a . i. . -i , , . ... in imrs eoiniici. our one in mat position may easily tall hetween two stools and fail to ac complish anything of value. There are, in fact, rumors that the reolul ionuries are disposed to tiist rust nun. It appears tu be certain that the Manchu dynasty has practically committed suicide and it is quite doubtful whether European interven tion could now he .successful in restoring it to power. A paper constitution is promised 'and parliamentary -government, but it is quite doubt ful whether free institutions are possible or safe for a people wholly unpracticed in such things. There is. no doubt, a 'leaven of educated and in telligent leaders, hut it is quite uncertain whether they are able to command the obedience of the semi-civilized masses. S. F. (-all. BOYS FOTJHT IN CIVIL WAR. When we wonder that even so many veterans as there are survive the years that have passed since the close of the Civil war we are reminded that that terrible conflict was waged, for the most part, by mere boys. Figures from the war department published in connection with the discussion of proposed pension legislation show that the total enlistment of 2.278,;"WS on the Union side practically all were boys. Of this vast number only 118,000 w1 vcr 21 years of age. A round million were between 18 and 21. Exactly liOO.OOO were 18; while (i00,000 of those who joined the ranks to fight for the preservation of the republic were only 17 years of ago; 100,000 were 15, and many were as young as :, enrolled as drummer boys and attendants upon commanding officers. Such was the composition of the army that fought under Grant. The soldiers who closed the war with him at Appomatox were veterans then and yet their average age was scarcely twenty-five years. On the southern side the troops wert-' even younger. It is difficult to reconcile these facts with the story of the struggle, and yet we must do so. Boys fought the battles that have gone into his tory, as the most desnernte eonfl ii'ts in ivli- civilized armies have ever engaged. The veteran ranks of the sixties were almost beardless. Sacramento Union. Portugal has decided to spend $50,000,000 for warships which can be of no utility save in put ting capital in such form that an enemy may readily destroy or confiscate it. If it is true that a lot of American vagabond: have crossed into Mexico to fight the government, it is to be hoped that Mexico will induce them t stay there. Mr. Bryan charges a member of the snm-cino t ourt with bias, and even soon so far ns to 'men proofs. A dissenting opinion is expected oi rite justice accused. Maine is back on the water-wAcnn nr.n'n lmt the recent election would indicate that the springs ere getting weak. END OF BOXIMj FOR BRITISHERS MACilSTKATK PKCIDKS MOItAV imiSCOM.

A magistrate in police court has ruled that the proposed contest be tween Owen Moran and Jem Dris coll for the lightweight champion ship of England is practically a prize fight, which is contrary to the law, and bound the two men over to keep the peace. The decision is regarded as practically a death blow to boxing in England. A house to rent? Try a Bonanza 'want ad."
