C. a ae / aoe Those persons . THE LAUNDRY LICENSE, 2 Judge Caldwell Decides that it is Invalid, In the case of the City of Nevada vs. Sam Lee et als., Judge Caldwell of the Superior Court yesterday rendered the following decision ; This caseis presented on an agreed statement of facts in which the plaintiff seeks and claims the right to recover the sum of $30 license tax from each and every of the defendants. The alleged right to recover said license tax is based upon Ordinance No, 7 of the city of Nevada, a municipal corporation duly organized undef the laws of the State of California, which ordinance provides that every keeper or owner of a laundry in the city of Nevada employing two persons or over insuch business shall pay 4 license of $30° per quarter for carrying on or conducting such business ; and further provides that before entering upon or conducting such business or transacting any business for which a license is required by virtue of the ordinance tu be obtained, and paid for, the person so carrying on and conducting or keeping such business shall tirst procure alicense therefor and pay for the ing of such business without first proby the ordinance, is unlawful. It appears by the atatement that after the passage of said ordinance, in the month of July, 1884, the defendants and each of them did in the said city of Nevada conduct and carry on the business of keeping and conducting a laundry, and did in the conduct of such business employ two or more persons for ths couduct of which busivess each and every of said defendants were required by said ordinance to procure a license mm the sum of $30 per quarter, before commencing the conduct of said business, } That said defendants and each of them failed and neglected during the said month of July, and ever since have failed and neglected, aud now fail and neglect to procure the license required by said ordinance, The defendants and each of*them base their refusal to procure the license required by said ordinances and resist the payment of theamount required, upon the grounds that the said ordinance is unconstitutional, illegal, oppressive, in restraint of tradeand discriminating, and therefore void, . Section 11 of Article II of the coastitutionof this State provides, ‘any county, city, town or township may make and enforce within its litnits all such Jocal, police, sanitary and other regulations as are not in conflict with general laws.” The latter part of subdivision 9 of section 8 of the charter of the city of Nevada (Statutes 1877--8, *page 223) under which it 1s claimed the authority was given to enact the said ordinance, is as follows :, ‘And fix and collect a license tax upon all professions, trades or business not herein specified, having regard to the amount of business done by such person, firm or association thus licensed,” It does not appear from the statement, nor is it claimed, that there is anytking in the business itself conducted by the defendants, or in the manner in which it is conducted, to constitute it a wuuisance. Neither the public health, morals or safety of the ,community is endangered thereby. : Whether the license tax authorized by the ordinance is prohibitory in its nature, cannot be determined from the statement of facts. The court cannot assume the existence of a fact not established. Under the authority given to enact an ordinance of this character, regard must behad to the amount of business done. Inthe enactment of this ordinance no regard was had to the amount of business done. The amount of license is graduated entirely according te the number of men employed in conducting the business. In Cooley on Taxation, page 387, the rule is thus stated; ‘The general rule that the powers of a municipal corporation are to be construed with strictness is peculiarly applicable to laws of taxation on employments, If itis not manifest that taere has been a purpose by the Legislature to give authority for collecting revenue by taxes levied on specified occupations, any exaction for that purpose will be illegal.” Under the power given by the charter of the city of Nevada to fix ‘and collect a license tax upon professions, trade or business, the duty ofthe Board of Trustees was to fix the tax according to the amount of business done, and not according to the number of persons employed in conducting and carrying on such business, \ : The powers given-must be strictly construed) Itis manifest that no such power as that exercised by the Board of Trustees in the enactment charter, If this ordinance can be sustained as tothe business of these defendants, then the Board of Trustees ‘would have the power to: fix and collect a license tax upon every busisame; and further that the conduct-” curing a license therefor, as required f .of this ordinance was given by the} ness conducted in the corporate limits, without regard to the amount of . ’ business done, tut entirely with reference to the number of persons employed in conducting such business. If this ordinance can be held legal, then the Board of Trustees may require each and every merchant doing business within the corporate limits and who employs ‘in the conduct. of his business two or more persous, to pay a license tax, while a merchant within the city who employs but one person in conducting his business, and whose business is as large as that of the merchant who employs two or more persons in carrying on his business, would be exempt from the payment of any such tax. Such restrictions might be applied to all other business and lawful oecupations. 3 The ordinance is not general in its character. It is discriminating and does not reach all persons employed in the same busineess or calling, and is therefore illegal and void. Taxation should be equal and uniform, and taxation of this character is not equal and uniform 1f all persons. engaged in the same business are not taxed alike. If the ordinance had required uhe payment of a sum of money quarterly by all persons engaged in conducting a public laundry within the city limits, and such amount was reasonable and not so excessive as to be regarded in restraint of trade, it might “not be objectionable. But no such assumption can be indulged in here, as the ordinance imposes a license tax upon some and exempts others who may be engaged in the same business from taxation of this character, The Supreme Court in ex parte Frank 52 Cal. 606, said: ‘An ordinance of acity passed under a general power conferred by its charter which exacts a license for selling goods and fixes one rate of license for selling goods which are within the corporate limits or in transitu to the city, and another and much larger license for selling gouds which are not within the city limita or in transitu to it, is invalid as unjust,. partial, oppressive and a restraint to trade.” The ordinance here is not warranted by the charter, and is in violation of the provision which requires that regard must be had to the amount of business done by such person, firm or association licensed, and is therefore illegal, The ordinance is discriminating, as it imposes a license tax upon all persons conducting a laundry within the city limits who employ two or mere persons in conducting such business, while other persons whc may be engaged iu the same business are exempt, from such taxation. It is therefore invalid, asit is unjust, unequal and partial. Judgment accordingly. JoHN CALDWELL, Superior Judge, Death of Mrs. Manning. Mrs. Margaret. Manning, who died Thursday morning at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. M, O’Hearn of Gold Flat, was eighty-seven years years old. For some time she had been confined to her bed, having grown very weak from extreme age, and she passed away as peacefully as a tired child fallsasleep. »Mrs.“Manning had been a widow for a quarter of a century or thereabout. Five of her sons met, with accidental deaths while working in the coal mines of Pennsylvania, Nearly thirty years ago she came to California, settled in San Francisco, where she. remained till eight years ago, when she came to this township to make her home with her daughter. Mrs, Manning was a woman of most excellent qualities, winning the esteem and respect of all who came in contact with her, The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from St, Canice Catholic church, and many mourning relatives and friends followed the remains to their last earthly resting place. 2 eo Republican Club. A-meeting was held Thursday evening at Empire Hall, Grass Valley, for the purpose of organizing a Blaine and Logan Club. Over 90 voters signed the roll and much enthusiasm was manifested. Another meeting will be held this evening when permanent officers will be elected and the organization perfected.’ ~ Eloquent speakers have been -secitred ‘to address to-night’s meeting. o> Big Suit Ahead. “It is said that the four Chinese laundry proprietors who were recently incarcerated in the City Prison toserve outa term of ten days for failure to: pay the license demandedof them, will sue the city for ten thousand dellars apiece for false imprisonment and to recover the yarious sums they have paid in the past under the operation of the ordinance which has been decided illegal. gh DS 5 Auction Sale of Fine Jewelry.

Everything warranted as represented. Arare chance ‘to secure. bargains, . L The Derbec Drift Mine. The San Francisco. Evening Post, which keeps thoroughly informed upon mining matters, on Wednesday last published the following: Although not now listed in the boards, the Derbec Gravel Mining ‘tock is selling on the street for a little over a dollar a share, and _ still advancing 1n value. This mine is the only one that is worked by the drifting process in Nevada county, and from a well authenticated source we learn that if no further developments ‘are made the stockholders will receive dividends fur a long time to come, They are now working on what is known as the Marlow channel, never having made any attempt to develop the rich Bloomtield channel, which runs through their ground, he outlook of the mine was never better than it is now, According to the above the stock is selling at only a littleover a dollara share. That is a ridiculous price for a dividend paying mine, but it only goes to show that people generally prefer to pay $3 and over a share for stock in. the Comstock mines, besides paying an assessment of 50 cents a share abont every sixty days, when there is no earthly prospect of ever receiving a dividend in return, Ifthe Derbec was situated on the Comstock its shares would be put up to séveral hundred dollars in view of the bright prospect it has at the present time. A well informed gentleman says that even if orders were received to do no moré prospecting at the Derbec, but simply to take out the gravel in sight, from eight to ten dividends vould be declared. The mine'is beiog thoroughly opened, a large number of men are constantly eimployed in opening up new drifts, and in the face of this the company will be enabled to declare dividends every fifty or sixty days fora year or more to come, even if they do not strike anything new or work the Bloomfield channel, which they are likely to do almost any day. It is true no work has been done outside of the Mariow channel, and when that is worked out, which will not befor a long while to come, they can commence operationsin the known Bloomfield rich channel which passes through a large portion of the property. ~As the Post says, *‘the outlook of the mine was never better than it is now,” and yet the stock is valued at only a little over adollar a share. If a syndicate were formed to buy up the stock at this time at the price above named, more money could be made out of it than out of ‘any similar investment ever offered . in California, Rodda Protests. James Rodda thinks the TranSCRIPT did not do him justice in its report of the fiasco at the Theatre last Saturday evening and of the trouble between him and Slattery on the following night. He says he would not fight Saturday evening because there was an understanding between them that. the victory should be given to him and the receipts be divided, , Slattery being willing to accept those terms in o:der to raise a “stake” with which to leave town; and he further declares that when thc time came, the small amount of money in the box office was not regarded by him as a sufficient inducement to put on the gloves, As to the trouble at the saloon, he says Slattery struck him in the head with a beer glass, without warning or provocation. —————— i o Grass Valley Mining Notes.

This state of affairs should be changed, and it probably willbe at thenext election, for there. is excellent prospect of carrying all or nearly all of the districts for the Republican’ ticket. Next to the election of a Republican President, it is most important that Republican Congressmen be chosen. In this second district the young mea who will vote for the first time month after next hold the balance of power. We ask those same youngy nen to read what Jamea A. Garfield had to say. tothe young men in a. speech he made at Cleveland, Ohio, afew years ago: “Oh, young man, come out of that! That is no place in which to put your young life. .,Come out, and come over into this eamp of liberty, of order, of law, of freedom, of justice, of all that is glorious under these night stars. Is there any death here in ourcamp? Yes! yes! Three hundred and fifty thousand soldiers, the noblest band-that ever trod the earth, died to make this camp a camp of glory and of liberty forever. But there are no dead issues here, There are no dead issues here. Hangout your banner from under the blue sky this night until it shall sweep the green turf under your-feet, . It hangs over dur camp. Read away up under the stars the inscription we have written on it, lo! these twenty-five years. Twentyfive years ago the Republican party was married to liberty, and this is our silver wedding, fellow citizens. A worthily married couple love each other better on the day of their silver wedding than on the day of their first espousals; and we are truer today and dearer to God than we were when we spoke our first word of liberty. Read away up under the sky across our starry banner that first word we uttered twenty-five years ago. What wasit? ‘Slavery shall never extend over another foot of the territory of the great West.’ Is that dead or alive? Alive, thank God, forever more! And truer tonight than it was the hour it was written, Then it was a hope, a promise, a purpose. To-night it is equal with the stars—immortal history and immortal truth, Come down the glorious steps of our banser, Every great record we have made we have vindicated with our blood and our truth. It sweeps the ground, and it touches the stars: Come here young man, and put your young life where all is living, and where nothing is dead but the heroes that defended it,” These are fitting words to address to the young men of California. Garfield being dead yet speaketh. The Democratic party is dead, It has Only a galvanized action which forces it to give some indications of life. After the coming election it will fall back as inert and hopeless as ever before. The Repnblican party has passed the anniversary of its silver wedding and is now moving torward to the golden wedding. The young Republicans are called upon to doubly sure, bow make assurance o> Superior Court. The following business was transacted in the Superior Court yesterday, Judge John Caldwell presiding: The People vs. H. Becker, James Ryan and Lewis Grant. Plea of not guilty by Becker and Ryan.

Grass Valley, Sept. 10th, 1884.-3t For BOARD and Jodging or a good “proprietor, . twe bit meal, go to the Thomas House, Broad street, O. C. Conlan, je8-ly The Burning Issue, Jamie’ R. Osgood & Co., of Boston, publish in neat and convenient form, the address of Robert P. Porter to the Arkwright club of New England, on ‘Protection and Free Trade Today.” Mr. Porter graphically presents exactly what voters in both political parties want to know, the facts showing how free trade and protection works at home and abroad, in the field and the workshop. He shows how agriculture, ‘commerce aud manufacturing in the United States, Great Britain, Germany and Holland have been affected by these tyo economic policies. Mr. Porter’s work will be appreciated by business len, farmers and miners who have 00 time to read # volume on the subject, but who want aclear exposition of the condition of labor here and in European countries. He takes decided protective ground but makes a fair use of the official figures, which are at times handled with dramatic effect, Few are better equipped, by training, to discnss this question than Mr, Porter. For several years a student of the industrial progress of the West, and author of one of the most useful works on that section ; for three years iu charge of an important division of the census, next a member of the tariff commission; and then sent abroad for eighteen months, by the New York Tribune, to investigate the condition of labor in Great Britain and the Continent. The words of the author of the address on the tariff will carry weight with those anxious for a practical view of the tariff question. Price ten cents. Exploded Theories. : Lieut. Doane, the Arctic explorer, says: Lam satisfied, and the facts will support my assertion, that there is no polar sea, and all that would be discovered there is a solid mass of ice dotted by islands of bare rock, Besides, many of the old acientific theories have been exploded. It used to be held that the magnetic current cume from the polar regions, but it has been found that the center of magnetism is south of Williams sound, at which place the needle of the compaas points directly per pendicular. It has been supposed that the aurora borealis originated in the north, but the fact is incontrovertibly established that it is produced in the Antarctic circle, '.The cause of the aurora borealis is'as much a mystery as ever. The term northern lights isa misnomer. Still another popular error was that the cold tidal waves were generated in the Arctic regions, and to determine this qnestion the United States government established a signal station at Sitza, but no trace of the supposed polar wave was discovered, I think it is pretty generally agreed now that our blizzards arise in British America, and not at the north pole.

C. a ae / aoe Those persons . THE LAUNDRY LICENSE, 2 Judge Caldwell Decides that it is Invalid, In the case of the City of Nevada vs. Sam Lee et als., Judge Caldwell of the Superior Court yesterday rendered the following decision ; This caseis presented on an agreed statement of facts in which the plaintiff seeks and claims the right to recover the sum of $30 license tax from each and every of the defendants. The alleged right to recover said license tax is based upon Ordinance No, 7 of the city of Nevada, a municipal corporation duly organized undef the laws of the State of California, which ordinance provides that every keeper or owner of a laundry in the city of Nevada employing two persons or over insuch business shall pay 4 license of $30° per quarter for carrying on or conducting such business ; and further provides that before entering upon or conducting such business or transacting any business for which a license is required by virtue of the ordinance tu be obtained, and paid for, the person so carrying on and conducting or keeping such business shall tirst procure alicense therefor and pay for the ing of such business without first proby the ordinance, is unlawful. It appears by the atatement that after the passage of said ordinance, in the month of July, 1884, the defendants and each of them did in the said city of Nevada conduct and carry on the business of keeping and conducting a laundry, and did in the conduct of such business employ two or more persons for ths couduct of which busivess each and every of said defendants were required by said ordinance to procure a license mm the sum of $30 per quarter, before commencing the conduct of said business, } That said defendants and each of them failed and neglected during the said month of July, and ever since have failed and neglected, aud now fail and neglect to procure the license required by said ordinance, The defendants and each of*them base their refusal to procure the license required by said ordinances and resist the payment of theamount required, upon the grounds that the said ordinance is unconstitutional, illegal, oppressive, in restraint of tradeand discriminating, and therefore void, . Section 11 of Article II of the coastitutionof this State provides, ‘any county, city, town or township may make and enforce within its litnits all such Jocal, police, sanitary and other regulations as are not in conflict with general laws.” The latter part of subdivision 9 of section 8 of the charter of the city of Nevada (Statutes 1877--8, *page 223) under which it 1s claimed the authority was given to enact the said ordinance, is as follows :, ‘And fix and collect a license tax upon all professions, trades or business not herein specified, having regard to the amount of business done by such person, firm or association thus licensed,” It does not appear from the statement, nor is it claimed, that there is anytking in the business itself conducted by the defendants, or in the manner in which it is conducted, to constitute it a wuuisance. Neither the public health, morals or safety of the ,community is endangered thereby. : Whether the license tax authorized by the ordinance is prohibitory in its nature, cannot be determined from the statement of facts. The court cannot assume the existence of a fact not established. Under the authority given to enact an ordinance of this character, regard must behad to the amount of business done. Inthe enactment of this ordinance no regard was had to the amount of business done. The amount of license is graduated entirely according te the number of men employed in conducting the business. In Cooley on Taxation, page 387, the rule is thus stated; ‘The general rule that the powers of a municipal corporation are to be construed with strictness is peculiarly applicable to laws of taxation on employments, If itis not manifest that taere has been a purpose by the Legislature to give authority for collecting revenue by taxes levied on specified occupations, any exaction for that purpose will be illegal.” Under the power given by the charter of the city of Nevada to fix ‘and collect a license tax upon professions, trade or business, the duty ofthe Board of Trustees was to fix the tax according to the amount of business done, and not according to the number of persons employed in conducting and carrying on such business, \ : The powers given-must be strictly construed) Itis manifest that no such power as that exercised by the Board of Trustees in the enactment charter, If this ordinance can be sustained as tothe business of these defendants, then the Board of Trustees ‘would have the power to: fix and collect a license tax upon every busisame; and further that the conduct-” curing a license therefor, as required f .of this ordinance was given by the} ness conducted in the corporate limits, without regard to the amount of . ’ business done, tut entirely with reference to the number of persons employed in conducting such business. If this ordinance can be held legal, then the Board of Trustees may require each and every merchant doing business within the corporate limits and who employs ‘in the conduct. of his business two or more persous, to pay a license tax, while a merchant within the city who employs but one person in conducting his business, and whose business is as large as that of the merchant who employs two or more persons in carrying on his business, would be exempt from the payment of any such tax. Such restrictions might be applied to all other business and lawful oecupations. 3 The ordinance is not general in its character. It is discriminating and does not reach all persons employed in the same busineess or calling, and is therefore illegal and void. Taxation should be equal and uniform, and taxation of this character is not equal and uniform 1f all persons. engaged in the same business are not taxed alike. If the ordinance had required uhe payment of a sum of money quarterly by all persons engaged in conducting a public laundry within the city limits, and such amount was reasonable and not so excessive as to be regarded in restraint of trade, it might “not be objectionable. But no such assumption can be indulged in here, as the ordinance imposes a license tax upon some and exempts others who may be engaged in the same business from taxation of this character, The Supreme Court in ex parte Frank 52 Cal. 606, said: ‘An ordinance of acity passed under a general power conferred by its charter which exacts a license for selling goods and fixes one rate of license for selling goods which are within the corporate limits or in transitu to the city, and another and much larger license for selling gouds which are not within the city limita or in transitu to it, is invalid as unjust,. partial, oppressive and a restraint to trade.” The ordinance here is not warranted by the charter, and is in violation of the provision which requires that regard must be had to the amount of business done by such person, firm or association licensed, and is therefore illegal, The ordinance is discriminating, as it imposes a license tax upon all persons conducting a laundry within the city limits who employ two or mere persons in conducting such business, while other persons whc may be engaged iu the same business are exempt, from such taxation. It is therefore invalid, asit is unjust, unequal and partial. Judgment accordingly. JoHN CALDWELL, Superior Judge, Death of Mrs. Manning. Mrs. Margaret. Manning, who died Thursday morning at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. M, O’Hearn of Gold Flat, was eighty-seven years years old. For some time she had been confined to her bed, having grown very weak from extreme age, and she passed away as peacefully as a tired child fallsasleep. »Mrs.“Manning had been a widow for a quarter of a century or thereabout. Five of her sons met, with accidental deaths while working in the coal mines of Pennsylvania, Nearly thirty years ago she came to California, settled in San Francisco, where she. remained till eight years ago, when she came to this township to make her home with her daughter. Mrs, Manning was a woman of most excellent qualities, winning the esteem and respect of all who came in contact with her, The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from St, Canice Catholic church, and many mourning relatives and friends followed the remains to their last earthly resting place. 2 eo Republican Club. A-meeting was held Thursday evening at Empire Hall, Grass Valley, for the purpose of organizing a Blaine and Logan Club. Over 90 voters signed the roll and much enthusiasm was manifested. Another meeting will be held this evening when permanent officers will be elected and the organization perfected.’ ~ Eloquent speakers have been -secitred ‘to address to-night’s meeting. o> Big Suit Ahead. “It is said that the four Chinese laundry proprietors who were recently incarcerated in the City Prison toserve outa term of ten days for failure to: pay the license demandedof them, will sue the city for ten thousand dellars apiece for false imprisonment and to recover the yarious sums they have paid in the past under the operation of the ordinance which has been decided illegal. gh DS 5 Auction Sale of Fine Jewelry.

Everything warranted as represented. Arare chance ‘to secure. bargains, . L The Derbec Drift Mine. The San Francisco. Evening Post, which keeps thoroughly informed upon mining matters, on Wednesday last published the following: Although not now listed in the boards, the Derbec Gravel Mining ‘tock is selling on the street for a little over a dollar a share, and _ still advancing 1n value. This mine is the only one that is worked by the drifting process in Nevada county, and from a well authenticated source we learn that if no further developments ‘are made the stockholders will receive dividends fur a long time to come, They are now working on what is known as the Marlow channel, never having made any attempt to develop the rich Bloomtield channel, which runs through their ground, he outlook of the mine was never better than it is now, According to the above the stock is selling at only a littleover a dollara share. That is a ridiculous price for a dividend paying mine, but it only goes to show that people generally prefer to pay $3 and over a share for stock in. the Comstock mines, besides paying an assessment of 50 cents a share abont every sixty days, when there is no earthly prospect of ever receiving a dividend in return, Ifthe Derbec was situated on the Comstock its shares would be put up to séveral hundred dollars in view of the bright prospect it has at the present time. A well informed gentleman says that even if orders were received to do no moré prospecting at the Derbec, but simply to take out the gravel in sight, from eight to ten dividends vould be declared. The mine'is beiog thoroughly opened, a large number of men are constantly eimployed in opening up new drifts, and in the face of this the company will be enabled to declare dividends every fifty or sixty days fora year or more to come, even if they do not strike anything new or work the Bloomfield channel, which they are likely to do almost any day. It is true no work has been done outside of the Mariow channel, and when that is worked out, which will not befor a long while to come, they can commence operationsin the known Bloomfield rich channel which passes through a large portion of the property. ~As the Post says, *‘the outlook of the mine was never better than it is now,” and yet the stock is valued at only a little over adollar a share. If a syndicate were formed to buy up the stock at this time at the price above named, more money could be made out of it than out of ‘any similar investment ever offered . in California, Rodda Protests. James Rodda thinks the TranSCRIPT did not do him justice in its report of the fiasco at the Theatre last Saturday evening and of the trouble between him and Slattery on the following night. He says he would not fight Saturday evening because there was an understanding between them that. the victory should be given to him and the receipts be divided, , Slattery being willing to accept those terms in o:der to raise a “stake” with which to leave town; and he further declares that when thc time came, the small amount of money in the box office was not regarded by him as a sufficient inducement to put on the gloves, As to the trouble at the saloon, he says Slattery struck him in the head with a beer glass, without

warning or provocation. —————— i o Grass Valley Mining Notes. The drain tunnel on the Magenta mine, which will connect .with the 200 foot level, will be finished few days.

This state of affairs should be changed, and it probably willbe at thenext election, for there. is excellent prospect of carrying all or nearly all of the districts for the Republican’ ticket. Next to the election of a Republican President, it is most important that Republican Congressmen be chosen. In this second district the young mea who will vote for the first time month after next hold the balance of power. We ask those same youngy nen to read what Jamea A. Garfield had to say. tothe young men in a. speech he made at Cleveland, Ohio, afew years ago: “Oh, young man, come out of that! That is no place in which to put your young life. .,Come out, and come over into this eamp of liberty, of order, of law, of freedom, of justice, of all that is glorious under these night stars. Is there any death here in ourcamp? Yes! yes! Three hundred and fifty thousand soldiers, the noblest band-that ever trod the earth, died to make this camp a camp of glory and of liberty forever. But there are no dead issues here, There are no dead issues here. Hangout your banner from under the blue sky this night until it shall sweep the green turf under your-feet, . It hangs over dur camp. Read away up under the stars the inscription we have written on it, lo! these twenty-five years. Twentyfive years ago the Republican party was married to liberty, and this is our silver wedding, fellow citizens. A worthily married couple love each other better on the day of their silver wedding than on the day of their first espousals; and we are truer today and dearer to God than we were when we spoke our first word of liberty. Read away up under the sky across our starry banner that first word we uttered twenty-five years ago. What wasit? ‘Slavery shall never extend over another foot of the territory of the great West.’ Is that dead or alive? Alive, thank God, forever more! And truer tonight than it was the hour it was written, Then it was a hope, a promise, a purpose. To-night it is equal with the stars—immortal history and immortal truth, Come down the glorious steps of our banser, Every great record we have made we have vindicated with our blood and our truth. It sweeps the ground, and it touches the stars: Come here young man, and put your young life where all is living, and where nothing is dead but the heroes that defended it,” These are fitting words to address to the young men of California. Garfield being dead yet speaketh. The Democratic party is dead, It has Only a galvanized action which forces it to give some indications of life. After the coming election it will fall back as inert and hopeless as ever before. The Repnblican party has passed the anniversary of its silver wedding and is now moving torward to the golden wedding. The young Republicans are called upon to doubly sure, bow make assurance o> Superior Court.

Grass Valley, Sept. 10th, 1884.-3t For BOARD and Jodging or a good “proprietor, . twe bit meal, go to the Thomas House, Broad street, O. C. Conlan, je8-ly The Burning Issue, Jamie’ R. Osgood & Co., of Boston, publish in neat and convenient form, the address of Robert P. Porter to the Arkwright club of New England, on ‘Protection and Free Trade Today.” Mr. Porter graphically presents exactly what voters in both political parties want to know, the facts showing how free trade and protection works at home and abroad, in the field and the workshop. He shows how agriculture, ‘commerce aud manufacturing in the United States, Great Britain, Germany and Holland have been affected by these tyo economic policies. Mr. Porter’s work will be appreciated by business len, farmers and miners who have 00 time to read # volume on the subject, but who want aclear exposition of the condition of labor here and in European countries. He takes decided protective ground but makes a fair use of the official figures, which are at times handled with dramatic effect, Few are better equipped, by training, to discnss this question than Mr, Porter. For several years a student of the industrial progress of the West, and author of one of the most useful works on that section ; for three years iu charge of an important division of the census, next a member of the tariff commission; and then sent abroad for eighteen months, by the New York Tribune, to investigate the condition of labor in Great Britain and the Continent. The words of the author of the address on the tariff will carry weight with those anxious for a practical view of the tariff question. Price ten cents. Exploded Theories. : Lieut. Doane, the Arctic explorer, says: Lam satisfied, and the facts will support my assertion, that there is no polar sea, and all that would be discovered there is a solid mass of ice dotted by islands of bare rock, Besides, many of the old acientific theories have been exploded. It used to be held that the magnetic current cume from the polar regions, but it has been found that the center of magnetism is south of Williams sound, at which place the needle of the compaas points directly per pendicular. It has been supposed that the aurora borealis originated in the north, but the fact is incontrovertibly established that it is produced in the Antarctic circle, '.The cause of the aurora borealis is'as much a mystery as ever. The term northern lights isa misnomer. Still another popular error was that the cold tidal waves were generated in the Arctic regions, and to determine this qnestion the United States government established a signal station at Sitza, but no trace of the supposed polar wave was discovered, I think it is pretty generally agreed now that our blizzards arise in British America, and not at the north pole.
