* % The Daily Transcript. NEVADA CciTY, CALIFORNIA. . x om Sept. > Sth, 1880. — Editorial Nétes. WeE HAVE READ a newspaper re‘port of Mr. Cross’s Saturday night Democratic speech in this city, and rise for information which he will perhaps gladly furnish when he next appears in public on the stump : What proof can be furnished that General Hancock said-,to a prominent gentleman after President Hayes had vetoed the. anti-Chinese meastre; «J would have; signed that bill had I been in Mr. Hayes’ place,” ‘or words to that effect ? : __Can it be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that General Hancock ‘ever expressed . himself on thé Chistock, ana . track. _ nese question, beyend endorsing the . Cincinnati platform ? When an office-secker endorses a platfor m of any political party, does it necessarily follow that he is not merely striving ‘to “accomplish selfish ends, and that he will not go back‘on his former protestations if sadcadaaln te do so are held out ? “AWHAT tid-the United States Com-missioners who-went to China .have . todo with the arrival ef the Ho Chung at Sar Fi ‘@nciseo, or its-ad= anission into that, port without its first being compelled to pay the maximum rate of duties 7 What would the decent pennies of _ the fand think if General Hancock : should adopt Mr. Cross’s suggestion = = by “standing in public places and baa snips his scars, especially the one he received at Gettysburg? .Who said that Hancock is not a brave soldier ? How does the addition of twelve “_eents revenue duties on a package of . “a -mmatches . raise the price from five-to} *_¢wenty-five cents per package ? -When our respected fellow towns<—man has answered these questions, “perhaps we will have some more rea ae — +: 5. epee ge eo, ae Craig’s matt eAiT sprinter. road company “re ‘now introducing in\g:.general sen their line. the patent rail sprinklers intetited by M. F: Craig of Grass Valley, and which have been in stic¢essfal operation on the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad fot more than four years, where Superintendent Kidder estimates that they have added over 30 per cent. to the life of the rails. The invention consists of a sprinkler fastened toa ‘pipe coming from the main feed, pipe, and con-: trolled ly levers—on the. foot-board of the engine (said sprinkler being . ‘placed. just forward of the -engine truck wheels, and witha jet back ef the rear drivers), to lessen the friction between the wheel flanges of a railroad train and the rails, ‘thereby effecting a saving in motive power and in the wear and tear of roiling At -is wellkRown to engineers ‘that during a fog or light misty rain, it is tiresome,— and likewise difficult at times,to keep an engine from slipping. It is also admitted, on the other hand, that during a hard rain storm anengine will do much better service than during: a misty rain, or when the -track is . dry, anil cam be run at a higher rate of speed, with mote safety, especially on curves. The explana~ tion of this seems to be, that while a light rain wets the track “just enough to make it slippery, a hard rain washes it clean of dirt and grease, allowing the engine t:res to come into closer relation with the face of the rail, thus giving greater tractive force, while at the same time water lubricates the wheel flanges the entire length of the train. . Mr. Craig has thoroughly demonstrated on the Narrow Gauge road that his invention produces the same result as a heavy rainstorm in cleaning the + rai-s-of-dirt and — grease,—removing crossings on-heayy grades, etc. ‘The prospectus recently issued ‘by him contains the following statements which are of interest te the general “ready to propound to him. ~id‘is sam that the Democrats . have fer some time -been gn a quan> dary as to how they could: “secure _.« the whole of the Workingmen’s party in Nevada county for Hancock, It “was ‘a bold stroke to adeps aud pursue any of the plans suggested ‘by the star-chamber conspirators, they. themselves admitted to each other. Vinally realizing that each day’s delay, was but one more nail in the —~eoffia of their hopes, it is reported “they decided «to calla convention where n@candidates will be»nomi*“yated without first pledging themselves to vote for Hancock and English, nothing being said about ‘‘side isgves.”” Actording to this, every Workingman in the county will) soon have to’ take sides with onc) great National party or the other. ‘Phe result will be the return of Re‘publicans to the ranks they formeriy trained in, and where the friends ‘ef Garfield and Arthur will welcome them. The Democrats will find ' that'their little game won't work. {ux Vicksburg Herald is a square, toed Democratic newspaper, and it ‘has great influence among the chivalry of the Solid South. Yet it admits the following to its editorial columns; ‘‘Gen. Garfield says the negroes are bull-dozed and _ballot— stuffed out ef their rights. In some -jnstandes this is true. As we said. before, affairs in all parts of the South are not yet perfectly regu—lated,” A sTALWaRT who has grown gray in the ranks of the-Republican party truly remarks: The great majority of the American peop'e don't like . Springs. ‘principles that Lee and Jackson . fought for,” and for that reason they wilt defeat Gen. Hancock next Noavember. * Bat as a cloak’to hide “those principublic as wellas railroad men: On all curves, the tendency of the wheels on the outside of thé carve is to bind and mount the rail. The wheel on the inside of the curve having a less distance to travel, slides more or less on the rail, By wetting the rails, this ‘sliding of the inside wheel is done with much less friction, the tendency to climb the outside rail is obviated, and the noise of grinding, which on roads. of . sharp curvature is.so easily distinguishable, is entitely dene ‘away with. In the case where an engine runs to one side, by using’the water ahead of the truck whee's.en one side, and back of them:and ahead of the driver of the other side, an engine can be made to run either side at the option of the engineer. Up Country Notes. A gentleman who has just returned rom a visit to Plumas and Sierfa counties furnishes the following interesting items : _ The Phimas Eureka company are enlarging their lower mill building and adding twenty more stamps to the complemest heretofore in use. ° "Phe Enterprise company, consisting of employes-at the Plumas Eureka mine, are prospecting for. gravel . at Jamison City.
