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,

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.

“Wad to Pay as Woes.
The soldiers en route from the interior to the encampment at Alameda
were the victims of quite a disappointmenut just after leaving Sacramento, In some way the impression
had obtained here in Nevada City,
for instance, tiat the wives and tamilies of the troops would be-permitted
to ride free; but when the tickets
were éoilected on the steamer, it was
found that all persons not in uniform
must pay fare. . The development of
this fact caused a good deal of feeling, andas arresult some of the ‘up
country boys” expressed themselves
quite vigorously on the subject, © It-is said that the ill feeling arising from 4:
