A correspondent ‘signing himself “Workingman” wants to know by what right the Dairy Transcript counsels the members of the W. P.C. in Nevada county to use their influence to secure'the deposat of “Denis Kearney as the\President of their State organization. We answer : While this paper is especially friendly to the Republic enmity for the Workingmen, Some ‘of its. warmest and most respected Si —-riends-belong—to—the latter. Some That was what a trembling, grayhaired, ndat looking old man accosted Sheriff Montgomery with on the street yesterday morning: He wént on to tell his story: He camé to this . country in'18502 ~Mined around m . the gulches for eleven years and imade lots of wealth. ‘Went East then to spend his declining years.

Had hunted all over the State of Nevada, ty, it has no. where he had gone ‘several years ago, eee eee pa, for. I feel that I'm going crazy.” A Disastrous Runaway. Yesterday afternoon, while John McCartyvf ‘Grass Valley and Jerry Dinan of Allison Ranch were unloadLing their wood wagon near the Grammar school housé, the horses ‘got frightened and started to ran down the alley between Broad and Fine streets. Dinan's team ef five hofses turned the corner, passed down Cotfage street and. then to this foot of. 3road, where they were stopped. Just before crossing the bridge one of the animals fell and was dragged to the Plaza without being sertotsly hurt. The*partitilly loaded wagon was not.even overturned during the perilous trip. _MeCarty’s team. of but couldn't find him,, Came back to the old stamping ground a day or two ago in hopes of meeting some ‘of a Aa ? ‘ 9f them are our neighbors, and their misfortunes; political or otherwise, appeal to our sympathies. We have ‘she thém ‘fot many months — past writhirg mder the yoke of Kearneyism. They have essayed occasionally to throw it off, but seeing that the time for such action was not ripe refrained for the time being. Many of the leaders among them have time and again, in public and private, expressed their contempt for the general course of the little drayman. Some of them in the State nominating convention at San Francisco rebelled, but seeing that those who thought as they did were in the minority,; submitted to his dittatorial —ourse-ts—a-matterof mere policy. . They knew full weH that a few ‘months would serve to bring Kearney out in his true colors,and abided their time. It has arrived. He threw off the sheep’s clothing at the sand lot last Sunday, when he advised them to burn Grant in effigy. The respectable portion of the State’s pop* .wlation regard that utterance as one of a driveling idiot. No sensible man would have used it. ° Fools tread where angels dare not, and Kearney has set‘at'defianée the opinions of all intelligent-and loyal members of all political parties in the North. He has for the hundredth’ time demonstrated that he is a stupid blockhead instead of a.great leader. Tht last: instance preceding the effigy business was when he led the party to slaughter in the State election. Even the Chronicle was*wiser and stronger than he. It’s Honorable Bilks of a few wecks’ growth outstripped his hosts. Nevada county is one of the strongholds of the W. P. C., and the followers here could have a powérful influence if they were disposed to use it. If Kearney is kept at the head of the organization, it will cause a great: defection from the rank and file here. They all are fully aware of that fact, and have been for along time. ‘The steel-backed ones among them, we are led to bevieve, are even now planning a rebellion against the present regime. When they strike, it will be for the*reputation of their party, the good of the State, their individual rights as voters, loyalty to the stars and stripes; against communism, hoodlumism,. one-manism and-Kearney,Must Bo Powerful Weak. , Sacramento Bee: The.Nevada Transcript thinks it’should be ‘the duty of the San Francisco papers to squelch the Kearneyites. The trouble-is that any attempt in that direction will be but -a boomerang.

The San Francisco Post is. planted firmly in the principles of the Republican party, and will do to tie to. It is honestly and fearlessly conducted, and. gives expression to no’ pernicious sensationalisms. With a bright new dress and a clear head its future prosperity is assured. __ In spite of the complaint in England of depression in all industries, the income derived from trades and ‘professions shows an increase of over $6,000,000 over last year. The income tax schedule shows also that there are ninety persons in England éajoying incomes of over $250,000 a year from trades'and profeasigns, and 994 enjoying between $50,000 and $250,000 a year: There are, therefore, about » thousand ‘‘trade” millionajres in England. .
