The Press says the most elaborately
cultivated gardens in the vicinity OF
San Juan, are those owned by the CHI
nese. Theya are really scientific in the
adaptation of manures to the various re-
quirements ofdifferentvegetable growths
though their dealings with such fertiliz-
ers render the atmosphere anything but
agreeable. Many Of the plants they
cultivate are indigenous to China so that
their gardens present novel appear

Donkeyville are making arrangements
to invite the patriotic American citizens
of Nevada to partake of free lunch on
the coming Fourth. A spirit of emula

The FoURTH.-We are panied to be
under the necessity of announcing to the
American world that our city has not the
patriotism to move in the matter of eel
ebrating the national anniversary. But
such is the fact. A half dozen individuals
exerted themselves energetically to pro-
Gu, e the cooperation Of citizens. Their
appeals were regarded as bore, and
many of those who did subscribe SEEM
ed TO do so because they could see no
way to honorably avoid it. The meet
ings appointed for the purpose Of arrang-
ing the plans for celebrating the Fourth
we're never attended but by the halt
dozen, though the most ample notice
was given. On Saturday evening last
the town was full Of people, and native
horn Americans were seen in groups
standing with mouths agape listening te
harangues on American politics from rec
mouthed Irishmen. The court House
bell rang again and again to call the
people to q meeting having for its OBJ
iect the celebration of the day that gave
birth to the liberties which we and the
aforesaid Irishmen largely enjoy; bu
none came save the identical half dozen
who gave up in despair the object they
had so many times met to effect an'
abandoned the idea of celebration al
together. ..
1t is but justice TO say that the cltl
gems who would shave been benehte'
least pecuniarily by a celebration sub
scribed generally most literally. No
enough was raised by hard exertl0ns t
celebrate the day creditably WITH AM
it was deemed best to abandon the un
dertaking. We greatly regret it. Oh

last alternative but a tams md unworth.

DEATH OF PROFESSOR OLMsTEAD.-
Professor Dennison Olmstead, of Yale
College, died at New Haven, on Friday
the 18th inst, aged 6s years. He gra-
duated at Yale College in 1918; was
elected Professor of Chemistry in North
Carolina in 1915, and served 10 years
when there he made a geological survey
of that state the first state survey ever
made in this country; and in 1925, he was
elected Professor of Mathematics and

but condemn the policy of the Republi-
can party of the state as evinced in that
resolution passed at their late state con-
vention relative to foreigners. For the
slim prospect of gaining few Irish votes
they have sacrificed the hope of concil-
iating the Americans by such action.
To strike blow for the purity of elec-
tions and to end the practice too alarm
ingly frequent of crowding foreigners
fresh from their mother sod into the ma
turalization courts for immediate political
purposes, the people of Massachusetts,
recently decided by powerful vote that
no foreigner should vote until two years
after naturalization. The Republicans
of this State. in convention assembled,
denounced the course pursued by the
people of sister state as Anti Republi-
can, and seek to make amends to the
foreigners by most unwise profession
of love for them.
| 1t seems to us this is loves labor lost
as we'll as an outrage upon good policy.
For the educated foreigner, if member
of the Republican party, is attached to
it probably from principle and will vote
with the party whether in Massachusetts
or not, and not whit sooner on account
of that condcmnatory resolution.
Those who are liable to be deferred OF
attracted by a name, belong to the
Democratic party as naturally as dregs
90 to the bottom of vessel. 1t is use

By the immuta6le laws of gravitatio-
they fall into the loco foco organization
and it is like pulling a bull up hill by

fore little or nothing is gained by the
resolution, but on the contrary much
lost. Those native Americans who have
as yet no party but who when compel
led to take a choice between existing
shades of politics would so with the Re
: publicans, are alienated by such action
1t does not please one of these that ;

From the present aspect of parties n
!. one can say that John j. Crittenden

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONAL

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONAL
might be expected in the almost uni
versal scramble for power aud place, the
proposed plan to lessen the number OF
offices and the burthens of the people, is
entirely forgotten. No convention OF
any party has yet dared to put forth a
resolution favoring a change in our
wretehed constitution. We believe there
is one body Of men that will take the
subject in hand and deal with it boldly
The peoples convention that assemblies
at the Court House tomorrow will cer'

on Saturday gave an exhibition of de-
votiou to principle which is little more
barefaced than usual.
The whole object of the convention
seemed to be the sending of delegates
to the State convention who would con.
sent to put themselves in the market to
buy and sell for Henry Meredith. They
are to run down to Sacramento under
the lee of every candidate on the course
and then take advantage Of the trade
winds for further progress. tits beau
tiful state of affairs when a body OF
men are willing to surrender every
thing for a man, and position of trifling
Importance comparatively to the people
These men really are but hirelings and
tools and do not represent the county OF
Nevada. The miners and the people Of
all classes esteem the election of Sup.
RENE Judge from the mining districts fol-
the term of six years, of infinitely more
Importance than sending an ordinary
wire-pulling politician to Congress fo
two sessions.
John Il. Mcconnell is not a political
trickster. He is utterly incapable 0
laying pipes and bumming for votes
and for that reason is the more to be pre-
ferred for an exalted position. The fac
that a convention of picked adherents t.
another man have ignored his aspiration
for the Supreme Bench, is no index of tn
real wishes of this county. On the con
trary we believe if the question wer'
fairly presented to tho people to-day
whether they would have Mcconnell fo
Supreme Judge or Meredith for Congress
two-thirds would cast their votes for tn
former.
Undoubtedly the true inter ests of tn
people lie in that choice. The mining
counties have no representative on thu
Supreme Bench, and it is prevalen
sentiment that the mining interest need
such representative. Of all the law
yers i'll the mountains who aspire to th

and is incompetent to put forth an effor
