the CONSPIRACY.

tits unfortunate that our State chooses
for its officers men without q haoitahon
and a name. When placed in nomina-
ton for office, one is claimed as the rep,
resentative Of the mining interests OF
Lander, another of Esneralds, another
of Humboldt, and so on, but their re-
moval, with carpet-sack in hsna' 70
Eagle Valley, transfers all local inter
ests, and thereafter, under the influence
of their narrow surroundings, are but
the attorneys of Hayseed against Husky.
MANY are elected as representing the
mining interest, who are anything out
miners, and whose interest it is, II they
have any interest in the State, to shit
the burdens Of the government from their
own shoulders to those Of the miners.
Our Government as now constituted IS
sel6shly interested against what should
be their first object to succor and en-
courage. 1t is very true that one having
nermsnent interests in the State is indi-
rectly interested in the prosperity Of the
miner, but it is very evident that many
either do not care, or have not the
~capacity to understand the question.
Our Governor was elected as the repre-
sentative Of the miner, he being a mill
owner, but in the present controversy
il is seen that the mill owner and the
miner are entirely different persons, he
having Joined in with the ranchers and
surface property owners to impose the
S,ata Coyarnuant olpoo,t
entirely upon the miners, releasing
temporarily himself and his co-conpira-
tors, and filling the treasury with a sur
plus Of funds, for the benefit Of the
State officers, the hangers-on Of the
capital and the citizens of Carson. The
Governors proclamation and message
a great lack of honesty, in the as
that there was no Revenue law,
and no provision made for the payment
Of the debt or the interest on it. The
Revenue law Of last year is still in force,
and under it, at the low valuation Of
seventeen millions of dollars Of taxable
property, there would be raised more
than sufficient to support the State, and
pay the interest on the debt. The Bond
bill levied q tax of seventy cents on the
hundred dollars to pay the interest on
the money procured under it. This,
then, if the assessors and collectors do
their duty, will more than pay the in
terest, and therefore there is no danger
of reputation or bankruptcy, as init
mated by the message and remarks Of
the Lieutenant Governor.
These officers make no allowance for
an increase of property asa consequence
of the building of the Pacific Railroad,
nor of the great progress made in the
development of the mineral of
the State. 1t is known, or at least may
be safely calculated upon, that the Pa
ci6c Railroad will enter and probably
entirely cross the State within the next
two years, causing a last increase Of the
value of property, and too, it is known
that the entire southern and eastern
portions of Nevada are proven Of extra
ordinary richness and are rapidly set
Ting up with prospects Of more than
doubling within the next two years the
entire population and property Of the
State. The Governor and his adherents
in ignoring these plain facts, exhibit
,cGnt Of honesty or very little attention
TO current events. He, with Others, in Of
fee, and out, are attempting to force or
the Legislature into passing an
Act very damaging to the grea. interest
of the State, and for the main purpose
of filling the treasury to OVERLOOKING for
the special benefit Of the State officers
and the dependent city Of Carson.-R.
