“HARD TIMES IN AUSTRALIA.
A Great Increase In Crime and Destitution
Due to Indusirial Depression,
Advices from Australia by the steamer
Warrimoo show an alarming increase in
casnalties, crimes and acute distress.
The police are unable to cope with desperate housebreakers, who swarm in the
large cities, A few that have been arrested give as an excuse that famine
drove them to. deeds of violence. Several
of the policemen attacked by burglars at
Sydney are dying. The survivors have
been promoted and given bonuses by. Sir
George Gibbs.
On-one day last week at Sydney, besides a score of petty robberies, the city
hospital was robbed of all its valuables
by nurses.’ Mercredie & Drew, manufacturers, were robbed ef $50,000 by employees. IF, Coxon, merchant, was robbed
by an employee of a large sum. Three
young women succeeded in passing a
number of counterfeit checks. Charles
Graham, a postoffice clerk, émbezzled
$200 from the postoffice.
The government’s claim is that the unemployed problem is too complicated to
solve. In Sydney $500 each week is
spent in aiding 500 families. Five thousand men in South Australia have asked
the governor to call a special session of
parliament to discuss means to aid them.
The governor refused. Then they waited
on Premier Kingston, but the premier
would promise nothing. He told them
that _thongh they were_in want of food
they had refused to break 14 yards of
rock per week for rations, and he could
dono more. The delegation said they
would not break rock for food alone.
Thousands are sleeping in the open air,
and several have starved to death. At
Bourke, Afghans. and Europeans quarreled over a division of labor, and a
bloody row occurred. The most tragic
suicides out of 98 in one week, directly
_ the-result of hard times, are: F.W. Wilson, the biscuit manufacturer of Brisbane, shot himself; William O’Connor,
lodger in the European hotel, Melbourne,
jumped from the fourth story and dashed
his brains ont on the pavement; Kate
Brooks, w pretty English girl, starving,
«ot drunk and killed herself with poison;
Joseph Bancroft, a miner out of work,
said goodby to his family and exploded
a cartridge in his mouth.—San Francisco Chronicle,
They Want to See the Babies.
The attaches of the White House re.
port that a peculiarity of the women
visitors to the White House is the desire of one and all to see the babies.
Captain Dubois, who is in charge of the
White Honse attendants, says: **There
is not one in a hundred of the lady visitors who come here who does not ask
to see the little ones as soon almost 3
she enters the house, { have had them
tell me they would sooner see the baby
than the president himself. No matter
how much they are told that the presideut’s family is not on exhibition, theycontinue to beg and plead for just one

the refusal becomes peremptory. All
women love babies, of course, so I suppose it’s only natural, ”’— Washington

. The Government could only have receded
justing mining interests has always been a
source? of anxiety to legislators and others
prominently identified ‘with that industry.
It has always been a difficult’-matter to. secure necessary and“ competent legislation
‘because of the diversified character of mining interests throughout the country. It
is only within recent years, comparatively
speaking, that a system of Federal laws
have been established. A year ago, A. H.
Ricketts of Sa Francisco published ‘A
Dissertation Upon American Mining Law.”
Commenting on the early customs preva~
lent among the miners of this State, he remarks: ‘In the early days of California,
from the very necessity of the circumstances
in which the miners found themselves, customs grew up which soon became a guide
for all; or in mass meetings regulations were
adopted conceruing miners’ rights, and rules
as to the working of them, which had the
force of l.w in the locations where adopted,
and constitute the American law common on
mining for precious metals,”
It is very evident from the toregoing that
at the time of the discovery of géld in California the laws pertaining to mining were
very crude, indeed, and were not particularly adapted to the system of mining then
being introduced into this State’ . This condition necessitated the adoption of a sysstem more favorable to the manner of mining in vogue at that t'me. Meetings were
heid in different parts of the State, rules
and regulations were adopted which eventually became the ‘‘common mining law”
of California: Meetings were held in Ne-. vada county in the fall of }850, and laws
were passed regulating the size and right of
claims, and also the size of town lots, In
speaking of these regulations ang customs
of the miners in the early days, Senator
Stewart, the anthor of the Act of 1866,
which was the first measnre of importaace
to the mining industry introduced in the
halls of legislation, remarks: “The Legislature of California had wisely declared that
the rules and regulations of miners should
be received in all controversies re-pecting
mining claims, and when not ‘in conflict
with the Constitution or laws. of the State,
or of the United States, should govern then
determination; and: a serigs of wise judicial!
decisions has molded these regnlations and
custems into a comprehensive system of
common law, embracing not only mining
law, properly speaking, but also regulating
the use of water for mining purposes, “The
miner's law,” he said, ‘‘was a part of the
miner’s nature; he made it, he ‘trusted it,
he obeyed it.” And at that time Senator
Stewart was thoroughly competent to discuss the mining question, for hé had been
previously engagedin mining in this county,
and it is not unreasonable to suppose that
he took an active part in establishing the
“regulations and customs” of which he gu
eloquently spoke in Congress,
Inthe year 1866 Congress passed the
first measure which had for its object the
creation and establishment of a system of
Federal mining law. Prior to this time
there had been legislation of a sporadic and
unimportant nature pertaining to mining
lands in different States. But such legislation was wholly inadequate to cope with
the new and perplexing conditions; and the
Stewart Act was offered asa remedy. Referring to this Act Mr. Ricketts says: ‘‘It
marked a new era in the development. of
the American legislation; and yet, it is a
Singular fact to relate, in Passing, that in
its title, mines are not Inentioned, nor the
purpose of the Act disclosed.” It reads:
“An Act granting the right of way to
ditch and canal owners over the public,
lands, and for other purposes,”
The miners of California and the States
and Territories adjacent thereto, have

by the sale of the mines of the far distant
Pavitic Slope, about which few people today have any knowledge whatever, was the

Compelling other people -to liquidate your

If the measures introduced for the sale of
the mines tor the purpose of exterminating
the National debt had passed, the Pacific
States and Territories would have received
a blow which time itself could not efface,
from the anomalous position it had taken
after the most widespread and irreparable
damage had been committed. While ve
cannot perceive the legality of such action
on the part of the Government, still, should
its purposes be carried out as originally intended, the consequences would be appalling
