THe Dery. orVorers.—lIt is certainly a-good omen-for the new system

MiNIxe SrrcvaTion —The vopping
work at the mine, says the
ee Uniti, does ‘ho t make the mining . s
situation anyways cheerful, and it is
possible that other mills will hang up
in the course of time, and will remain
so until the labor question is settled.
Night before last the hands at Allison
Tax, hotel waiters’ strike in New
York has failed. Thg hotels have een
applied, but the strikers were not taken
back. They were feceiving $30 (per
month and board and stfuck for $35;
while in Boston and Philadelphia they
receive but $25. All_the large: hote's
in New York consented to the raise but

every candidate, and hearly all will be
able to get their first choice for some

will be chosen.
This enlarged power of voters in the
Primaries should make every man who
desires the saccess of the party, more
_ eager to «participate, and the right
should be in every case judiciously exercised. So far as the contest between
party friends is concerned, it should be
condacted with good feeling, each one

‘*\: THE PLAINs Ackoss.—The overland.
railroad runs for miles and miles along
the line.of the old emigrant road, and
those whocame the “plains across” in
the days of ox: teains, pass in hours
over districts Which then — required
months of hard travel and great hardship. Those who have been by the old
and new road tell us it is éxceedingly
interesting to note the different-points
of interest aleng the old road, where
their pargies were beset with dangers,
and all the points gliding by-almostas
rapidly as ifall the varied scenes and
trard experiences had been transferred . .
to canvas, and they were looking at a
panorama instead of riding over the old
route.
El
Won't BE Forcer.—Nova Scotia is
preparing to test the right of the Brit~
ish Legislature to pass the Act compelling that country to unite with the Dominion of Canada. Nova Scotia will!
appeal to the higher English Courts
for justice’ and failing in that,
threatens to try harsher methods.

She
has “her back up,”’and evidently means .
to fight rather ‘than go with the Kanucks.
It is now denieu that Motley has had
any written communication with the
British Cabinet on the Alabama question. Whatever he said on the subject,
says the Sacramento Union, was dclivered. orally to Lord Clarendon. His
instructions are not to press matters:
but to aliow the English to take the
initiative in any new negotiations.
MATTERS IN CuBA,—Recent advices
show that the Spanish cause in Cuba is
being wnbiort te divisions, while the
insurgents are becoming every day
stronger.

‘a for the present the contract system
will prevail at that mine. Among the
undeveloped mines we understand'that
contracts to work them will be let on
very favorable terms. The Inkerman,
the Lone Jack and the Homeward
Bound mines. can be leased on good
terms to the lessees. There are other
ledges in the vicinity which need skill
and labor, and on which a°‘workingman
can get a good show. It would be well
if some of our miners would goto work
on some of these known -good ledges.
The Hope-Gravel Company is drifting
for the lead, and as the bed rock ispitching south from the bottom of ‘the
shaft, it is pretty certain that the old
river bed will be found in a day or two.
The strike stil] maintains a solid front,
and various reports to account for the
firmness of the strikers, are current.
One of these rumors has it that assistance to the leaguers has been furnished
from San Francisco, by parties inter~
The report is most
probably a false. one.

nedy prefaced cach song with an explanation, which aided new interest to,
many anecdotes peculiar to the country.
Good judges pronounce Mr. Kennedy a
alist of rare powers. Possessing a
h knowledge of the history of

depth of feeling’and true pathos, which

minds of appreciative Hsteners. We
