MORNING APPEAL. TUESDAY JISE2I. 179 A LITTLE HOME TALK. This being the off year politically in Ne vada, we are enabled to consider more nar rowly the real situation of those affairs that affect us in a business way. We have the usual complainings that are habitual in this community during the dull months of Spring andearlie Summer, and we should be "lad were we able to say that our decadence were not more decisive than heretofore. Thefact is, how ever, that a decree of discouragement is to be noticed that bodes ill to any lengthy continu ance of local prosperity. Independent enter prise, disconnected from the operations of ag gregated capital, is a thing of the past. The Comstock, to which we have largely looked heretofore for the encouragement of the va ried industries and sustainings of our many enterprisingtownsmen, is now so entirely con trolled by a few men, that general prospect ing and opening of new mines is almost stifled. It matters not how many different mining companies and mining locations there may be, the developement of them is subject to the permission and regulation of the few promi nent men who control the stock market. The result is, that all the business connected with the mining industry of the Comstock is engi neered through a single channel, and our peo pie, taken as a whole, are reduced to the status of employes or laborers, or, worse still, to the abject slavery in which one finds himself who tries to make an honest dollar as a contractor. In plain words, the business of our locality is so fettered (and intention ally), that a few men can perforin it all, and those who are not fortunate enough to be in favor swell the class that must be known as our rtdii)i (tiif population. Be it distinctly known to all, that the inestimable treasures, still lying as nature placed them, in and about the Comstock, are forbidden to hum in explo ration save at the convenience of those who have, and who propose to keep control by force of the absolute and repressive power of the capital of the Pacific Coast. To secure this condition of affairs, and the better to manipulate the vast treasure that has for years lain hoarded in San Francisco, the East is now sought as the place for investing that portion of the riches realized from our mines which is claimed to be .tuipltii'. The recent investment in Lake Shore by D. O. Mills illustrates our statement, and the in stance is especially apt when we consider how necessary it i3 for Mi Mills to so manage things that hi3 monopoly of the wood, timber and freight business in Nvad shall not be endangered by a generous financial sup port of enterprises li-ible to prove competitive. So extraordinary is the financial power of this one man that the life and prosperity of Ne vada as a State is supposed to depend very largely upon the dole of money he consents to expend here. This is determined not so much by the amount of profit realized annually by him in this part of his domain (although it is so evasive as to steadily impoverish this peo ple), as by that limit which he can not safely transcend without losing his present absolute control. He tolerates no opposition, and his local managers contrive to allow no consider able margin for profit to his contractors. The systematized oppression of this people which he with others has organized is indeed mar velous in its refinements and exactitude, and as monstrous as it is marvelous. Carson has but little left except the right of free speech and free thought. Our population and business is being steadily reduced, and will continue so unless some independent straem of capital shall restore healthful vigor and competing operations in our industries. The many mines of real merit on the Corn stock must be opened up before the bonanzas of the older mines are exhausted. Mining and its many attendant enterpris.es must be made subject to the approach of all, or we as a com munity must seek other fields. The argu ment of capitalists, that in a State having the princely resources that are buried in the soil of Nevada is too densely populated by the 40,000 souls within her extensive borders, is a moustrosity in the eye of reason, and we, the people, must educate ourselves to spurn the arrogance that dares make such an insinuation. The discouragements of the present period in our history as a State can and ought to awaken us as a people to our own rights and capacity. This State belongs to the people who dwell and make their habitations here, and there is no sound reason why we shall longer submit to the throttling grasp of monopoly and the merciless oppression that has for 3Tears been exercised upon us by the very wealth that has in a large measure been wrongfully wrested from us. Mr. Mills will eventually learn that bis investment in Lake Shore has not made our people thoughtless of the children growing up in'our midst and who daily ask us to tell them somewhat of their future. That future must be made brighter than it looks to-day, and we owe it to our selves aud those children that the present condition of our business life be speedily changed for the better. The area plan toil to tobacco is annually in " creasing in Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. During the last few years increased attention has been given to raising tobacco from seed brought from Cuba. FRANK W. GROSS. The Republican State Convention of Cali fornia did a sensible and proper thing in nom inating this gentleman for Clerk of the Su preme Court. His Republicanism is of the best quality; his qualifications for the posi tion he seeks are first-class; he is popular wherever known, and he ought to and un doubtedly will be elected by a good majority. He is one of the oldest newspaper men in California, having for years been connected with the press of San Francisco, and for a time he was editor and part proprietor of the Marysville Appeal, the leading Republican paper of Northern California. In looking back over his editorial career we can discover but one blot on it, and that we find in his brief connection with the De Young machine. This was before the purposes of the De Young concern were generally known. In justice to our friend we cheerfully state that he, like the elder Weller, " takes no pride out on't," and doubtless pleads the statute of limitation. The good standing of Mr. Oross as a citizen, a Republican and a worthy member of a once noble profession, is firmly established in the fact that Kearney's recent supporter in sand lot ruffianism is already throwing editorial filth at Mr. O. MISCELLANEOUS. When the new road is completed to bo nanza City, the time between Salt Lake and that place will be reduced to about four days. A burglar was shot and instantly killed at Aurora, Illinois, the other day, while in the act of going through the residence of Mr. Lee Beadford. The shooting was done by Mr. Beadford's son. Two little sons of H. S. Joy, of SouMi Sa lem, Oregon, were drowned on Saturday ev ening, while playing near a mill. Mrs. A. Holland, of Leige, Belgium, at Ni agara Falls, borrowed a drinking cup from her husband while visiting the Three Sisters Islands on Saturdaj7, and stooping for a drink, fell into the stviftly-running waters and was swept over I lorse-Slioe Falls. The husband and wife were on their wedJiu ' tour. Seven persons have died from injuries re ceived by the boiler explosion of the East Texas mine, at Euiaus, I'a. On Saturday, a freight train was ditched on the Northern road, twenty miles from CVIar Rapids, Iowa. Four tramps, who were con cealed in the train, were killed, and the con ductor fatally injured. Weston completed his f.0 miles on time, and thereby won the belt of the championship of the world; also a bet of 2,500. A Syracuse, N. Y. , dispatch of Saturday says that Alfred S. Sanford, son of Professor Sanford of Chicago l"ui varsity, and Olive C. Holmes, daughter of Judge Holmes of this city, were drowned this atternoon in Onon- laga Lake. They were out rowing, and in changing places in the boat, it was capsized. Phosphorescent paper is reported to be one of the latest novelties. Writing done upon it can be read in the dark. The Fond dn Lac Reporter, after reviewing the matter carefully, thinks it will be well for Wisconsin farmers to plant at least one bull dog to each watermelon seed. Mrs. Scott-Siddons is in London on the look out for novelties The Tramp Law. The New York Htrald presents the tramps' side of the question in the following favorable light. It advises the Governor to veto the bill, and says: Such a law would be a disgrace to the statute-book. It violates the fundamental principles of hu man liberty. Every free person who has committed no crime has a right to go where he pleases, and so long as he injures no body and molests nobody his personal rights are as sacred as if he were riot afflicted with poverty. If any Christian man or woman chooses to bestow upon him a mor sel of bread to relieve his hunger, it is their right to give and his right to receive it. If h steals, let him be punished for the theft; if he practices violence, let him be punished for the violence, but to imprison him merely be cause he is homeless and poor isj an outrage on humanity and a trespass on his rights as a citizen. The most honest and deserving per son who is going about in search of employ ment might be caught up and thrown into prison under this outrageous law. Joax Kemmlee, of South Holyoke, Mass., on Saturday shot fatally his three girls, aged six, four and one year, being unable to sup port them. He has been out of work since February. At that time he went to Colorado, but recently returned and had been ordered to vacate a tenement belonging to the Germa nia mills, as he no longer worked in the mills. He sent his wife on an errand before commit ting the crime, and when arrested Remmler said: "Let the law take its course." He was afraid that they mioht grow up and enter houses of prostitution, and he thought they would be better oil' in Heaven. The Wheatland Outuaoe remains a mys tery. Miss Dunn has sufficiently recovered to converse concerning her injuries, and when questioned by Dr. Melton on Friday, she stated that she had not the lerat idea of how she received them, and seemed much per plexed. She remembers nothing after going to sleep, until finding herself surrounded by physicians aud attendants. Shocking Accident. The Times-Review gives the following particulars of a painful ac cident at Columbia: The little five-year old son of Mr. Lewis, engineer at the mill at Columbia, a few days ago fell or stepped into a pile of red hot pulp in the furnace room, and was so badly burned that when his stockings were taken off, the skin adhering to them, came off also. The poor little fellow suffered terribly, and we un derstood yesterday that fever had set in and that it was feared the case would terminate fatally. London, June 23. The government au thorities received an annonymous letter on Wednesday giving warning that an attempt would be made in Cheshire to upset the train containing Queen A'ictoria and Princess Beatrice from Balmoral to Windsor on Sat urday. The railway line was consequently guarded by hundreds of constables. The journey, however, was uneventful. The letter was probably a hoax. London, June 22. A dispatch from Berlin announces that in consequence of raids in the Kuldja territory by Chinese soldiers, who are ravaging the country with fire and sword, a large Russian expedition will be dispatched against them. As the raiders are likely to receive the support of the Chinese govern ment' a war may supervene. NEW TO-DAY, t876! 1870! GRAND FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION AT CARSO i I T ()K HI'XnBKO AM THIRD AN.

VOTK E TO JIH An VXK S AS MKII.I- jL ED LABORERS OF UR.MSBY COl'XTY: The Mechanics' I'nion uf Ormsby County is now thoroughly organized, and we most respectfully extend an invitation to ail mechanics and skil.eu laborers, wh" are drawing wages amounting to not less than three dol lars per day, to join us. The Mechanics" I'nion 'of Ortusby County, desirous of seeing skilled laborers or working men of this county, ot all branches, united in bonds of friendship and t'"r mutual pi otection and benefit, earnestly urge upon them to join our organization, believing- that to be the best mode to establi.-h and maintain a fair rate of wages for a fair dny's work, and bring the members cf the same and different trades into close communion with others, to the advan tage of all. The mechanic who has spent in studying and aiipiiring the si. ill of Lis craft is deserving of his labor, and should take all proper means to obtain it ; and e think it weds no argument to convince the mechanics and st illed labor ers in this county that wages can only be established and maintained by united action on their part. instances are not wanting where employers have taken the first oppor tunity which offered to reduce the pay of workmen, even when reduction was unwarranted, when working men were not united and therefore in no condition to offer suc cessful resistance. We will be glad to receive applications for membership from all mechanics and skilled laborers workingin Ormsby County. We meet at Odd Fellows Hall every Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock.
