Show TROOPS STAY AT GOLDFIELD. j ft appears that the situation at Gold- j field is getting in quito satisfactory I shape. The understanding has boon that if tho Legislature would join Govornor .Sparks in a request to tho President for the retention of a sufficient number of troops ut that camp to insure tho pros- ( crvnlion of order, tho Prcsidont would direct tho retention of tho troops accordingly. ac-cordingly. Tho Lcgislaturo promptly conforms to Governor Sparks 's recommendation recom-mendation in this respect, nnd joins him ! in making tho request to the, Prcsi- J dent. I The fact that this action was about ! to be taken strengthened tho stocks of that camp materially, and the news that j it has actually been taken will stronglhen them yet more; tho final j order of the Prcsidont directing the retention of the troops, issued yesterday, yester-day, will put tho cap sheaf on in the strengthening of those" stocks. Wc cannot, but view a good deal of . this backing and filling with regard to tho troops at Goldflold as being more in the nature of stock jobbery than of ! legitimate administrative measures. In 1 one of the fluctuations in tho various j mo.vcs of this great gamo thero was a I shrinkage in the Coldfiold Consolidated ! stock al ono amounting to something liko j '$3,000,000 on the stock issue. Wo contended con-tended then, and we believe now, that Bomobod' made immeuso profit on that ' fluctuation. That stock was depressed almost a dollar a share when tho Prosi-dont Prosi-dont camo out with his frantic scold of the Governor and in his threat lo withdraw the troops. If any ono had knowlcdgo of that coming ordor during dur-ing even ono session of one stock "board, ho could havo made himsolf a millionaire out of hand. The rocent scold of the President d.id not have so much effect on the 8tocks"ns his former fierce letter had. At, the same time, it had 'sufficient Interest to be a marked feature in tho stock deals of the day. Wc may now, liowovor, presumably settle down to &' period of something like rost and s'ecurity, so far as. the Goldfield mine operations are concernod; and the stcSclcs will accordingly acquire a more sfablo value and may be expected ex-pected ttt'takc tho ascending scalo. Tor all of which, and especially' for the assurance as-surance of continued pence and order at Goldfield, the people of this 'Svholb western country will be duly thank'-, . . fill. ' .
