The Congressional Record which ar
rived during the week brought the Pres
ident's message in official form. It is the
briefest message ever made in the history
of the country by an Executive at the
assembling of a new Congress. It deals
exclusively with the subject of the reve
nue laws of the nation. As has been an
nounced by telegraph, the President
takes strong ground in favor of a reduc
tion of taxation on the necessaries of life.
His reasoning in support of this position
is especially clear and analytical. There
is no attempt at dodging or clouding the
issue which he raises, and which now
confronts Congress and the American
people. He goes to the country squarely
on the issue of a revision of the present
tariff laws, not to the free trade point,
as he claims, but to the end that the
surplus money now flowing into the
vaults of the Treasury may remain in the
pockets of the people. Whether a ma
jority of the American people shall in
dorse his views or not, there can be ao
mistaking his position. His treatment
of the important question of the tariff is
in the highest degree candid and frank.
People may take issue with his opinions,
but there will be few fair minded men
who will not commend him for his manly
candor. In this regard he is better than
the Democratic party has shown itself to
ue IU fcUU IWII 1 asu m-ancuum cam
paigns. The party has run away from
the tariff issue for eight years. With
Mr. Cleveland as its standard bearer for
re election, it must now face the issue
without equivocation or evasion. Hating
shams and hypocrisy, as we do, we are
glad that the issue has been made. There
will be something tangible and sensible I
for the press and orators to talk about in i
next year’s great political battle. It will j
be refreshing to get rid of the dead rub
bish of a dead and buried past. The
country will at least become enlightened
as to “ who is tariff,” and “ why he is
for revenue only.” And after it is all
over we will each cling to our individual
opinions as to how the revenues for the
maintenance of the Government should
be laid and collected, each being more or
less biased in our judgment, as affected
by the dominant interest of the particu
lar section iu which we may live. While
protection to American industries, when
patriotically viewed in a national sense,
is manifestly and incontrovertibly a great
blessing to this country, the greed ol
gain usually asserts itself in the adjust
ment of a tariff law, and certain sections
goncrally strive to get more than their
share of the beneficence proceeding from
it. New England is a buyer of wool and
a manufacturer of woolen goods. Natu
rally, New England wants free raw wool.
Louisiana wants sugar and cotton pro
tected and everything else free. Penn
sylvania clamors for high duties on iron,
steel ami coal, and would place the pro
ducts of other States and sections which
she must consume at the lowest possible
ebb. And so it goes all the way round.
While the doctrine of protection is a
part and parcel of our American policy,
no matter under which political party,
the adjustment of the tariff law is gov
erned in the largest degree by local con
siderations. Fairly and honestly it is
not in any proper sense a party question,
and never should become so. Both par
ties demagogue on the subject to subserve
selfish, not patriotic, ends. No honest
man, understanding the 'question, can
say whether he is for this or that tarifi
measure until he shall first have informed
himself a3 to whether the measure itselt
is fair and equitable to all sections of the
country. Demagogues will howl for a
given policy right or wrong. Patriotic
men will want to see the proposed law
before they decide how much of it is good
and how much bad.
But we are glad that these great ques
tions of revenue and government are to
be discussed throughout the length and
breadth of the land in the approaching
National election. Whatever may be the
fate of political parties and candidates,
the people of the United States will
emerge from the contest better informed
than ever before regarding these in
tensely interesting topics.
The third in the series of letters ad
dressed by Powderly to the Knights of
Labor is published. It is confined to an
attack on the Western Union Telegraph
Company, with a recommendation that
the United States government con
trol ail the telegraph lines. The plan of
placing the stock of the only telegraph
system in the Union in the hands of for
eign capitalists, Powderly thinks is om
inous of impending danger. Powderly
thinks, and cites the recent crisis in
Prance as an example of monarchical
interference in republican institutions.
He argues that the Government can do
ths telegraphing of the country as suc
cessfully as it can the mail carrying, and
ridicules the idea that it amounts to
anything as a political factor.
A call for the next National Republi
can Convention has been issued to the
Republican electors of the United States,
fixing the convention at Chicago, June
10, 1838. It calls upon Republican elec
tors in the several States, and voters
without regard to past political affiliation,
differences or action, who believe in the
American principle of a protective tariff
for the defense and development of our
home industries, and the elevation of
home labor, to unite.
In a recent case—Warren et al. vs.
Sohn et al.—the Supreme Court of Indi
ana held that where a mortgage is taken
on mining property, claims for labar and
royalty havo priority, and are paramount
to the lien of the mortgage, no matter
when it is taken or when the claims for
labor or royalty accrue.

The essay, perspectives, together with
the salutatory address, which we give

chenkohl, and delivered by her June *24,

SAM-TATORY.
To day, we as Seniors, about to sever
our connection with our school days, ex
tend a welcome to these exercises.
To you, benefactors of our youth, who
have presented to us the advantages of
education which we have enjoyed, who
have to the best of your judgment, to the
I utmost of your power, chosen for us our
| instructors, and given us those means
I from which we could derive the most
| benefit, we offer our sincerest thanks; to
you we extend our kindest greetings.
For you, who have with unswerving
purpose guided us through the past,
through the straight path of duty, we
can find no words to express our grati
tude. Although we may ofton have fal
tered by the wayside, aud often failed to
profit by your friendly counsel, yet we
trust that your labors have not been en
tirely in vain.
Dear classmates, though joined by com
mon interests, with anxious longing we
have awaited this parting hour; yet now
we pause and shrink from tearing asun
der the links of friendship, firm and
strong, which our past associations have
formed. “ Blessings brighten as they
take their flight," and still we linger at
the brink of the chasm which separates
childhood from manhood aud woman
hood, w hile memory recalls the scenes of
the past, those happy, bygone days,
clouded only by those youthful troubles,
which now seem but like passing shad*
ows over a sun-kissed meadow.
Let us hope that in the past the foun
lation upon which we now will build our
future, has been laid broad and firm, and
when comes the hour of parting from all
earthly joys and sorrows, may its terrors
be banished by the sweet thoughts that
we were born not only to die again, but
chat we have lived, not for ourselves
alone, but for mankind. For, “Ah!
when the dream of life is over, what
would avail all its agitaTIous, if not one
trace of utility remain behind?”
Dear friends, we thank you for your
kind consideration, your presence here
to-day, and extend to you a hearty wel
come, hoping that you have come, not
as critics but as friends.
PERSPECTIVES.
From our point of view in the present,
we gaze out toward the cloud-eucireled
summits of the future, and back over the
misty plains of the past. In retrospect,
our eye is caught by the works of man,
the color and life in this vista of reced
ing years, marking the upward path he
has trod toward his present hight, and
indicating his course iuto the untraveled
ways beyond.
When recorded history fails to present
the scenes of the past, geology completes
the chain of events, and shows us man
just emerging from the brute level. Man,
m this primitive state, was thrown upon
the world unaided by experience of the
last, without conception of the future.
All that man is, all that he ever will be,
all that he has made himself, he has
evolved by his own exertions from his
afinite power of mind. Struggling alone
for his existence, his surroundings, the
sensations of pleasure and of pain, left
impressions upon his mind, and he sought
that which was agreeable to him, and
avoided that to which he was averse.
The pangs of hunger induced him to seek
food, the heat of the sun to find the
grateful shade, and in the Winter he
sought clothing to protect his body from
the cold.
Before man had learned the necessity
jf providing for his future, he lived with
out care, without thought extending be
yond the present. During the fruitful
seasons of the year he spent his hours in
idleness: but repeatedly experiencing the
suffering and privations of the unproduc
tive months of the year, he sought to al
leviate his pains by the ineaus within his
reach, the simple materials given him by
Nature. A cave was first his home, then
rude huts of logs, and stone marked a
step in advance. He stored up Nature’s
gifts of the harvest months, that he might
■scape the pangs of hunger, whose tor
ture had left a lasting impression. His
garments were the skins of beasts, just
is they were when he stripped them from
his prey.
Labor, whan gentle, is the mother of
all enjoyments; but, if severe, bears only
vexation and pain. When man’s exer
tions to satisfy his physical wants caused
much weariness, he began to long for
ease, and sought means by which to
lighten his toils. He domesticated various
animals, some to bear his burcens, and
others to supply him food and clothing.
Being possessed of a brain capable of
evolving thought when occasion arose, he 1
arranged the ideas of the external world,
received through his senses, in logical
order. His next impulse then was to
express them to his companions. He had
no words by which to convey his mean
ing. The only language with which
Nature had endowed him was the power
of facial expression, involuntary motions
and gestures—the laugh which betrayed
his sensations of joy, and tears which
revealed his sorrow.
deriving ior a more complete meinoa
of transmitting his ideas, a language of
words suggested by the material objects
in his surroundings, was produced as
as need for certain words arose. He no
ticed the habits of various animals, and
the sounds which they made, and when
he wished to refer to them, he utilized
his own vocal powers and imitated their
cries. From this germ began that devel
opment of language, keeping pace with,
though seen in its ever changing nature
until the present day. He soon began
to reason upon abstract subjects. Higher
thoughts, awakened by nobler, human
passions such as love and justice, aroused
his moral eenaes. When injustice was
done him he sought revenge, and there
fore reasoned that his fellow-men would
likewise avenge wrongs practiced toward
them. Thus the desire of his own hap
piness suggested moral truths, which he
embodied in laws of conduct. He thought
it beat to do unto others as he wished
they should do unto him.
The various phenomena of Nature
aroused his wonder and curiosity. He
saw the brilliant, life-giving globe in the
heavens, which gave him light and heat,
the sky, the waters, the flowers, trees
laden with fruits, the night of equal
splendor, its darkness softened by the
silvery light of the moon, the blue can
opy overhead studded with glittering
points of light, and knowing that every
effect was preceded by a cause, he reas
oned thus: “ Whence come all these won
ders? Who is their creator ? Who taught
the birds to sing, the flowers to bloom,
the sun to shine, and the rains to descend
and refresh the earth ? Whose voice of
anger resounds in the storm ? Whose
laughter rings in the babbling brook ?
Surely there must be unseen powers, be
ings somewhat like ourselves, who cre
ated all these things, and who now watch
and guide their marvelous works. We
must give thanks to these infinite beings,
that we may gain their favor and thua
insure our future welfare.” His power
of reasoning being not yet fully devel
oped, be coaid not ascribe these effects
to natural causes, and theiefore crested,
after bis oivn image, gods, who he be
lieved were the authors of all things.
Death and the decay of the body tilled
him with unspeakable terror, and in hia
fear he created for himself a aweet illu
sion. an immortal life in a happy here
after. Above the blue arch of the sky,
among eternal joys, should be his future
home, aud his selfishness prompted him
to expect groat reward for the little good
he might have done his fellow crestures.
At this stage history trsces the path
of man, now clearly defined, in ita as
cending course. Hy the aid of philology,
it shows us men grouped into a nation,
true to their instinct for companionship.
On the plateau of Iran we find the Ary
ans, the parent stock of the Hindoo,
Latin, Oreek, aud all modern civilized
nations. Starting from this home at dif
ferent times, yet all with the same de
gree of mental ability, and the same
characteristics, we find them so entirely
changed by the conditions and circum
stances of the countries to which they
emigrated, that to-day it is hardly pos
sible to detect their relationship, except
through a comparison of the root words
of their language.
The circumstances of a people have
always determined its progress in civili
zation. The Teutons, who went to the
uorth, being compelled to spend nearly
their whole time in obtaining means to
satisfy their physical wants, could boast
of no mental attainments for many cen
turies; while those races of southern Eu
rope who went to a country where the
necessaries of life C09t but few exertions,
made rapid advancement in science, liter
ature and art.
Among different races, the social con
dition, the natural outcome of the inter
nal forces and external surroundings of a
people, modify their progress. Where
there have been a few who rolled in
wealth aud luxury at the expense and
labor of the multitude, the progress has
been very slow; tho rich caring only for
revelry and dissipation, while the poor
must toil in privations and suffering, not
only for their own miserable existence,
but to enrich the already overflowing cof
fers of the powerful few.
Had cot the distinction of caste existed
between the people of Egypt, where the
yearly oveiflow of the Nile fertilized the
soil aud food grew spontaneously, leav
ing leisure for the cultivation of the mind,
what aid she might have given in enlight
ening the world ! But knowledge was
confined to the rulers, mercenary priests,
who feared that their power might be
weakened if knowledge found its way
among the people. Lest they might spend
their time iu studying Nature and her
laws, they were compelled to build pyra
mids, royal tombs, and many structures
tie v i.Mii ui cmuci use ui ucauvy.
What might this world now be, had ;
not its progress been checked by the bar
barians who overwhelmed and conquered
the dissipated, but once valiant Romans,
and covered the civilized world with a
shroud of ignorance and darkness ! The
night that followed the glorious day of
ancient civilization was the darkest man
ever knew’, and to deepen the awful
gloom, the church of Rome cried out:
“ Knowledge is born of the devil!” Oh,
if this were so, why were we given the
power to penetrate its mysterious depths;
why given that thirst which could be
quenched only by the sweet draught of
wisdom?
So great was this inborn desire for
knowledge that many dared to die, or
suffer a living death for the utterance of
' Nature’s laws and truths which they dis
covered. Always in history have wt
found a few great men, who were in ad
vance of their age, and rose by their own
exertions above the level of the masses.
Galileo maintained that the earth was
not the center of the solar system, but
revolved around the sun. Imprisonment
was his reward for this discovery.
How many who might have contrib
j uted their share to the world’s attain
j nients, died in their misery with their
I thoughts locked within their bosoms,
filled with terror at the fate of many a
I reformer in thought or morals.
But at last the irrepressible genius of
man awoke from her slumber, threw off
her robe of darkness, and lifted her eyes
to the light of truth and reason, and
universal progress began anew. Just as
the heavenly bodies are saved from de
struction by constant motion, man can
find the true solution of his life only in
his onward march.
To-day, as we gaze at stately buildings,
the iron bands across the continent, the
iron monsters speeding over them, the
deep covered with hundreds of sails, ma
chines invented by man to lessen his
toils, and all the glory and grandeur of
this enlightened age, we can but recog
nize the irrcsistable power of the human
mind, the toil, and the infinite length
of time it has cost to bring the world to
its present state.
The few among the innumerable works
of man, with which we come in contact
every day, impress us with awe and ad
miration. He has utilized the power of
steam, the flowing of waters, the motion
of the atmosphere, gravitation and elec
tricity, those unseen powers which per
vade the universe. “Oh, creative man,
without your works this earth would be
a dreary wilderness.” And yet, “ All
experience is but an arch, where through
gleams that untraveled world whose mar
gin fades, forever and forever as we
move.”
Despite the progress in the past, each
succeeding generation of the future, can
repeat the words uttered by the immortal
Homer, over 2,000 years ago, “Thank
God. that we are infinitely better than
our fathers.”
A French Nensntlon.
A Paris dispatch of the 10th instant
says: M. Jules Ferry was fired at three
times by a man in the lobby of the Cham
ber of Deputies. There was great excite
ment. He was shot by a man named
Aubertin. Aubertin appeared in the hall
and requested to see both Ferry and
Goblet. Goblet did not respond but
Ferry did, and on his appearance Auber
tin drew a revolver and fired three times
at him. Aubertin was arrested. It was
ascertained that Ferry’s wounds were
slight. Bystanders tried to lynch Au
bertin. The real name of the assailant
is Berckein. He is 20 years old. He
states that he is one of a band of twenty
revolutionists. The band drew lots, and
it fell to him to commit the first crime.
Berckein says that he swore to kill Ferry.
We question if it should be a matter
for congratulation that our postal service
is Belf-sustaining until we have penny
postage. Every advance that has been
made toward cheap postage has proved
in the result a pecuniary gain to the
Treasury. With so large a surplus the
country would not grudge the spending
a few millions in the experiment of penny
postage.
The report that President Cleveland is
taking riding lessons indicates that he
expects to remain in the saddle for some
| time to come.
A Pf*dl«M»«.
The San Francisco Call says: Before
President Cleveland forced the free trade
issue upon the Democratic party, the
New York Son warned him that on any
such platform as the free-trade wing of
the party nrged the Democratic plurality
in New York would disappear. W hen
we reflect that the Democratic party has
had all the benefit there is in freo-trade,
and that it has had the support of a good
many Democrats who were firm protec
tionists, the prediction seems a natural
one to make. The Democratic party will
not gain many votes by coming out for
free-trade, and will certainly lose a good
many. Mr. Cleveland, however, is en
titled to the credit of standing by hie
own opinion. The people may respect
him personally for that, but they will
not vote for him if they think his opin
ion wrong.
Mrs. Cleveland receives between thirty
and forty notes daily. At first she at
tempted to answer personally every note
addressed to her, but soon found such a
course impracticable. Many letters sent
to her she never sees. Requests for
money are not shown her, but are an
swered by clerks, who acknowledge their
receipt but ignore their purport. Among
the many applications for favors received
by Mrs. Cleveland, a large percentage
are flowers froth the White House con
servatories. Charity fairs, church festi
vals and the like, make constant requests
for flowers and plants from the Presiden
tial mansion.
A Bold Robber.
On Thursday night, says the Vir
ginia Enterprise, the residence of a
Gold Hill miner named James, who
lives at No. 61 Bullion ravine, was
entered hv a masked man at about 8
o’clock in the evening, and at the
point of a revolver compelled the wife
of Mr. James and a 16-year-old daugh
ter to open a trunk and pass over the
coin it contained, amounting to $8 50.
The ladies did not argue the matter
with him, nor did they try to show
him the error of his ways, but trem
blingly obeyed. The man then made
his escajie, seemingly satisfied that he
had tapped the bank. Mr. James was
at work at the time in the Crown
Point mine, and the robber must have
been aware of the fact, as otherwise he
would scarcely have dared to commit
such a robbefy at that hour.
Ileaili from Louilaunm.
Michael Byrne, Jr., a prominent cit
izen resident of Grass Valley, Cal.,
since 1866, died at that place on the
7th inst. from an overdose of lauda
num, which he took to allay pain
from cramps and nervousness. Mr.
Byrne was an independent, fearless
and upright man, and was held in
very high esteem bv the citizens gen
erally of Nevada county. He was a
native of Galena, 111., and aged 48
years. There are a number of per
sons in this vicinity who formerly re
sided at Grass Vally, that well knew
Mr. Byrne, and loved him for his
many good traits, and who will deeply
regret to learn that he has been so
suddenly cut off by death from a use
ful and well sjient'life.
Alaska Notes.
It is reported that they have struck

Taking; Obscene Pictures.
Ovan Fowlaski, a photographer, was
arrested at Chico, Cal., on a charge
of having obscene pictures in his pos
session. A number of the pictures
found in his gallery were displayed in
the Justice’s Court. They included
photographs of men, women and chil
dren of Chico in a nude state, and also
photographs of several young ladies
of hitherto resectable 'standing, in
vulgar positions. Fowlaski pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to imprison
ment for six months.

A dispatch from Washington says:
“ The Supervising Architect of the
Treasury has opened the bids for

the Federal building at Carson, Nev.
The tenders were as follows: Tames
IT. Caster, of Baltimore, $87,901; J. B.
Holliday, of Washington, P. C.,
$87,981, and a gross bid of $87,000; E.
H. Brannan, Chicago, $91,250; E. F.

bid of $69,375.”
“It'S All Might.”
Mrs. Barnum at the Murray Hill ho

the telegram informing him that his
menagerie was burned. He turned
over, awakening from his sound sleep,
and said: “ It’s all right; apparent
evils are generally blessings in dis
guise.” In three minutes, she says,
he was fast asleep again.
Merchandise or Nhame.
To kidknap young girls and then
sell them for immoral purposes to the
highest bidder is a crime of which the
scarlet fiend himself would lie
ashamed. The account of this traffic,
which comes from San Francisco, is
well calculated to make your flesh
creep. It Bhould be stopped by ham
mering the head of every miscreant
who is engaged in the business, and it
is not necessary to use a tack hammer
either.

The Wood Kivcr News-Miner tells
the following on a former well-known
resident of Eureka:
A slanderous minor about Pete C'an
avan, of Bellevue, came to tho ears
of a News-Miner reporter Thursday.
How the matter ever got out it is im
possible to imagine. But as long as it
has become street talk, there is little
use ill attempting to suppress it.
It appears that Pete ’.vent to hear
the songs and war-cry of the Salva
tionists a few evenings ago. He took
a front scat. One of the members of
the army got up to exhort, and spoke
something like this: “ We often hear,
during election, men sav ‘ I am for
this man,’ or ‘ I am for that man,’ etc.,
but how seldom do we hear a man say
11 am for the Lord.’ ”
The speaker eyed Pete very closely,
and paused to add effect to the re
mark. Tiie impressiveness of the
scene was broken by Pete, who, think
ing he was individually meant, tapped
himself on the breast with his fore
finger and spoke out:
“I—I—don't know much—’er—
about the Lord; but I’m for Blaine.”
Pete was excused from giving any
more testimony.
Colorado itfeu Needed.
Denver never loses a trick. Already
she is preparing to celebrate the
Thirteenth anniversary of the admis
sion of Colorado as a .State. Why the
thirteenth requires a celebration any
more than the fourteenth will, it is
hard to see, but they are going to
jubilate, all the same, and they will
make the whole State roar; they will
bring a mighty crowd to Denver and
rob them gracefully, and send them
away grateful that they have been
robbed and all enthusiastic over Den
ver hospitality, vim and gall. If any
of them there" desire a town lot, or a
mine, or a cattle ranch, or any inter
ests in an irrigating ditch, or a few
shares in a monster hotel, or a local
railroad, and the men of Denver ac
commodate them, and anyway, they
will have a thousand newspapers and
a hundred thousand people all talking
about Denver and Colorado. We wish
Nevada had a few Colorado men. It
would be a joy to see what they would
accomplish if they had a real place to
work up.—Carson Appeal.
Scarcity of Orca.
Salt Lake Tribune: Ore is coming
in so slow from the mines that the
smelting men are more anxious to
buy than for a year past. The smelt
ing combination looks much as if it
had killed the goose that had laid for
them the golden egg in profits on
their business. Before the combine of
the reduction men, the mines were be
ing worked either by the owners or
leasers, and there was such a hopeful
outlook that there was no difficulty in
leasing anything like a passable prop
erty to men who would find and take
out ore. When smelting charges wer.
raised, and the smelters only took
certain grades of ore, it discouraged
men who were operating their own
mines, and many stopped work. This
put a stop to most of the leasing and
now there is not one leaser to work
where there tvas five to ten before,
and so ore has become scarce. Smelt
ing men are sending agents into camps
to buy up ore where in the past the
ore came to them without the asking.
The “Venison" was Immense.
A well-known reporter of Eureka
stepped into Mrs. Brown’s restaurant
a few mornings ago and took a seat
at the table. In due time the stew
ard appeared, who, by the way, had
just arrived from a hunting trip
down the valley. The note-taker in
quired of the returned hunter if he
had succeeded in killing any deer.
“ Oh, yes,’’ replied the steward, "and
the two that were left here have been
almost consumed—going off like hot
cakes.” " Now,” said the scribe, “if
there is one thing I fancy more than
another it is a nice venison steak.
Please order me one.” The steward
repaired to the kitchen, and after
a time returned with the ordered dish.
To be brief, after the reporter had de
voured the rare bit, he declared it the
finest venison he had ever tasted,
when the fact was he had eaten
only a simple veal cutlet.
Another Cortez Shooting Ncrnite.
Sheriff F. P. Van Patten received
