hou Gov. Sparks of Nevada tele-
tbe President that that state
nrless to resist certain lawless
en combining to precipitate
tbe Uoldfleld region, noth
Lt tbe federal executive but
United States troops at
fjeno, to prepare for any
'iat might arise. Had the
aited to investigate and
trouble arisen before action
liken, the responsibility for
"quent destruction of property
floss of life would have rested upon
his shoulders. He believed tbo Nevada
chief of state and acted with com
mendable promptness, on the assump
tion that tbe troops were actually
needed.
The troops were sent and at tbe at!
time, as a measure of assurance, tbe
President dispatched to Nevada a
speoial commission of iuvestigators to
ascertain tbe exact state of affairs.
Between tbem and the commander of
the foroos at Goldfleld the President
has booome convinced that there is no
danger, and that, in foot, there never
was danger of a disturbance of snob
extent that tbo state itself could not
oopn with it. Consequently orders
have been issued for tbe withdrawal of
tbe troops at tbe end of tbe month.
The President has, at tbe same time,
telegraphed tbe governor that be will
uot permit the United States forces to
perform tbe ordinary police duties that
belong to the state of Nevada, but
stands ready to act in uny actual emer
gency. This episode has its lessou to be
learued, if they will, by all the state
executives. They are charged with a
certain responsibility, and in discharge
ing it tboy must exhaust their own re
sources bofore tboy summon those of
the United States. Tbo action of Gov.
Sparks iu calling for help bofore bo
bad evon trio' to cope with the situa
tion must ueooHgarily affect, unfor
tunately, any future oaso of tbe same
oharaotor 'bat may ariso. The cry of
"wolf, wolf," when there is no wolf
dulls tbe disposition of tbe resouer to
respond.
Any criticism that may be evoked by
this Nevada affair should be directed
at tbe governor of tbe state, and not
at tbe President Tbe latter merely
did bis full duty iu the iurerest of
peaoe nnd order. Washington Star.

EBENEZER GRAY.
(Anonymous.)
He thought bo was a Christian
Did old Ebeuozer Gray,
Ho never missod church meetings
And was olways glad to pray,
He did not let religion
Hurt his business through tbo week,
But on a Sunday morning
He was righteous-liko and meek.
He used to have a manner
That would make a down feel "blue"
He usod to chill bis neighbors,
And his home was ohilly, too,
But in tbo church on Sunday
Yon could never find him late
And when it came to rooting
In religion, he was great.
He used to skin all comers
Through the week, and liked tbe
game;
Yet olaimod to ruu his business
Iu the Master's holy name.
Ho never let the dootriue
Used on Sunday, understand,
Atloot upon a weekday,
Any deal be had on hand.
Some pooplo called him "brother,"
And great numbers called hiui names,
The latter people being
Those who fathomed all his aims,
He died in proper season
Crossed unto another shore
Aud this is what St Peter
Told the follow at the door;
"While you were good on Sundays,
Through the week, Eb, you were
tough;
Hence when I speak your senteuoe,
Do not think that I am rough.
Now you can spend your Sundays
Here in heaven very well,
But week days, Ebenezer,
We're going to give you ."
