If a dollar be a dollar—honest coin without deceit—one may melt it, one may smelt it, but its value won't retreat. Melt ten dollars—silver dollars—in unbiased melting pot, and the silver “slug” resulting, only sells for “five the lot.” Melt gold dollars—melt an eagle in aforesaid melting pot—and the golden “slug” resulting quickly sells—for “ten the lot.” Will you tell me—kindly tell me— how these dollars equal are—if u little glowing furnace puts on only one a scar f There was never yet equation that demanded legislation to establish rights to be;—an equation—else is ~it-a fallacy ! ; oe And I'm thinking—quiegly thinking —that a poor man has poor sense—if he vote to have a dollar—that will melt to fifty cents.

An effort is being made to have a ball team organized in this city to play against the Examiner club at the Miners Union picnic. The picnic committee have announced their willingness to give a purse of $35 for such a game, $25 to go to the winners and $10 to the losers. The boys composing the Examiner nine are all splendid players and if a contest could’ be arranged it would be a strong attraction for the above event, and it would require a deal of hustling on the part of any Nevada City club to beat out the Grass Valleyans. ; Manager Land of Grass Valley is also endeavoring to have the amusement committee of the picnic hang up a purse of $70 fora game beween the Examiner-Popular combination and a club from either Chico, Gridley, Woodland or Oroville. These cities have all good teams and the amount of the purse asked would about pay the expenses of bringing a club from any. of the places. mentioned. The committee is as yet undecided in the matter, preferring to wait and-~see what chance there is of bringing the Examiner and Nevada City nines together. Nothing definite has yet been heard from the Truckee players who a week or so ago were anxious to meet the Grass Valley team for $150 a side. Should a game fail to be arranged during the present wéek the Gilt Edge club will come up from Sacramento and meet the Grass Valleys at. the] Watt Park ball grounds next Sunday.

An effort is being made to have a ball team organized in this city to play against the Examiner club at the Miners Union picnic. The picnic committee have announced their willingness to give a purse of $35 for such a game, $25 to go to the winners and $10 to the losers. The boys composing the Examiner nine are all splendid players and if a contest could’ be arranged it would be a strong attraction for the above event, and it would require a deal of hustling on the part of any Nevada City club to beat out the Grass Valleyans. ; Manager Land of Grass Valley is also endeavoring to have the amusement committee of the picnic hang up a purse of $70 fora game beween the Examiner-Popular combination and a club from either Chico, Gridley, Woodland or Oroville. These cities have all good teams and the amount of the purse asked would about pay the expenses of bringing a club from any. of the places. mentioned. The committee is as yet undecided in the matter, preferring to wait and-~see what chance there is of bringing the Examiner and Nevada City nines together. Nothing definite has yet been heard from the Truckee players who a week or so ago were anxious to meet the Grass Valley team for $150 a side. Should a game fail to be arranged during the present wéek the Gilt Edge club will come up from Sacramento and meet the Grass Valleys at. the] Watt Park ball grounds next Sunday.
