DWINDLED OUT.
A quartz mine gives out in two
ways, the one is known as "pinching
out," where the walls gradually ap
proach each other until they meet.
The other is by littie stringers break
ing away from the mam ledge one
at a time, the ledge steadily nni row
ing from that cause, until there is
nothing left. Tiiis is known as
"petering out."
It is by the latter process the Ore
gon legislature is adjourning. Yes
terday the Benson house adjourned,
and the senate also by a vdte of 19
to 11, voted to adjourn; but Simon
declared the senate could not ad
journ constitutionally. In conse
quence many of the senators gath
ered up their belongings and left for
home, leaving "Mr. Simon and some
ot the senatois; but they will soon
drift home, if they know the way,
and so the legislature will just dwin
die away until there is nothing left
of it but Joe.
It is amusing to see Joseph, the
law-givcr, declaring the senate can
not adjourn sine die without the
consent of the house, and in the same
breath insist that there is no house.
If his position is correct, the senate
will have to remain in session until
its successors are elected and quali
fied. It has been but half a victory,
after all, for Simon. He has succeed
ed in defeating Mitchell, but that is
all he can do. He cannot name his
successor. He has also succeeded in
settling his own political bossism, for
the next senate will not elect Joe.
He would not have been elected
this time as president, had not some
of our big American citizens been
afraid of him
no more.
lend their presence at the tourna
ments where one gallant knight
jubbcd his wooden toad-stabber
through some other knight's giblets ?
Then why not the elite of .Nevada's
capital lend their presence while the
crop-haired representatives of our
modern civilization punch each
other's mugs? Go to! thou effemin
ate descendants of an effete race
Git!
Queen Victoria was born in 1819,
and while there are several reigning
sovereigns older than Britain's queen
there arc none who have reigned so
long. She ascended the throne June
20, 18117, and on the 20th of June
will have completed full sixtj years
of sovereignty. Other rulers of Eng
land have approached this length of
sci vice, but none have equaled it.
George III reigned 59 years and
3 months; Elizabeth 44 years; Ed
ward III, 50 years; George 11,33
years, and Henry YlII, 3S years.
So it will be seen that Queen Victo
ria has exceeded them all, except
George III, by ten years or more.
The anniversary will be observed in
grand style.
But he will get there
ONE WEEK MORE.
One week from today G rover
Cleveland will retire from the white
house, to again take up the duties of
private citizenship, for which he is
so eminently qualified. His history
will be written later, and it will be
a history the future generations will
wonder at. Jackson was a great
man, and the one distinguishing
characteristic of his was bull headed-
ness. Cleveland has the same thing
in a worse degree, the complaint ex
tending even to his neck. Jackson
fired his cabinet ollicers when they
would not do his bidding; but Cleve
land went him one better by taking
his party by its collective nose and
leading it to destruction. It will
take it years to recover from the
effects of Clevelandism; but it will
recover. It is like a cockle-burr,
iudestructible.
Cleveland bas been at the head of
his party for sixteen years eight as
president; four as its candidate, and
the four now on as its betrayer. He
has for eight years out of twelve re
ceived a salary of 850,000 a year,
and by rigid economy has saved, it
is said, G,000,000. His party will,
perhaps, never forgive him, but the
balance of the country will, or. one
condition that he refrain from writ
ing a book.
Nevada doesn't do things by
halves, and since prize fighting has
been declared a legal pastime, the
leading citizens have requested, and
have had their request granted, that
ladies be pormitted to attend the social
functions. This is quite proper.
Did not Cai3or's wife play "thumbs
up" at the gladiatorial contests? Did
not the beauty and the wealth of
Rome satisfy their longings for
amusement by watching the starved
lions tear and rend their human vic
tims? Did not the royal ladies of
England only a century or two ago
Strange that our great contempo
rary, the Oregonian, has not wailed a
wail over the fact that the Portland
charter is not changed. Was it not
that paper that was going to show' up
Vennoyer and raise ructions gener
ally? It was; but then it got put in
the little trundle-bed, along with his
side-whiskers and the proverbially
"unlucky 13" Populists. As long as
Joe remains in session, however
need not entirely abandon hope.
