THE STATE MINERALOGIsTs REPORT

We have been permitted to examine
a portion of the very full and carefully
prepared report of the State Mineral
ogist, Rev. A. F White and from tba,
DIFFERENTIATION we have formed the
opinion that It surpasses in interest and
valuable statements of facts any
paper that has ever been complied in
this State. 1t is by no means mere
dry recital of scientific terms and con
ciusions but gives. in sueciHct and iu-
te-esting form, the history of the mines
and Their capacities aud extent. More
over, the scientific terms employed are
SO used es to be easily understood by
the every day reader-as they should
be. Th,s mass of valuable information
is the result OF two years hard and
faithful labor, the expenses of which
have been borne, thus far, BY Mr.
White; and while We hope tha. the
Legi slature will look upon tbi, report
as eminentiy worthy of extensive circu-
lation at home and abroad, we trust
they will not fail TO provide for the
prompt and ample remuneration of its
author.

SOME IMPORTANT CONSTITUTIONAL
A4ENDXENTS,

As the State grows older, the impe,
. fections of its machinery become NOR
: apparent; and it is being felt that, i
some of its particulars, the Constitution
is not fitted to the public wants. "
have already expressed the conviction
that biennial sessions of sixty days wer
not calculated to meet the necessities o
the times; and we are not surprised
that it has become evident to Legisla
tors that the termination of the FiscaI
Year comes inconveniently close upon
the time of the meeting of the Legisla
ture; and We are glad to note that a
step has been taken to remedy the
matter. As at present provided by the
Constitution, the Fiscal Year ends on
the 3lst day of December and the Leg
islature is assembled on the first Mon
day in January. Under this unfortunate
arrangement, the Department officers
are compelled to make out their reports
after the meeting Of the Legislature;
and delays arise, consequently, which
retard legislation and bring the most
important business of the session within
the few days just prior to adjournment
1t is believed that this could be obviated
by so amending the Constitution as to
tx the time of the meeting of the Leeis-
lature say, as late as the middle of
February and extending the length of
the sessions leaving the Fiscal Year S
1t now stands. 1t is but justice to the
State itself that some such an amend
ment as this should prevail.
We believe, further, that the method
provided by tn, Constitution, for its
own amendment is too cum bersome. |
Constitutions, like laws. are, to a GER
lain extent, experimental in their nature:
md the way should be made reasonably
Easy for their alteration. Tbs Consti-
ution of the United States may be
amended after the proposition TO SO
amend has passed one Congress; why
nay not the Constitution of Nevada then
re so framed as to permit of its amend L
nent by al affirmative vote of the peo-
lie, after one Legislature shall have
change? The holding of
Convention is objected to
or several good reasons; among which
the plea that it would involve too !
reat an expense; and these objections
XIsting, it seems to US wise that the
r0Tisious of the present Constitution
citing forth the manner of its own ,
mendment had better be changed. 1t
J to be hoped that the Legislative COM !
littees upon Constitutional Amend 7
rents will devise snch changes n the !
rganic law as will relieve the State {
'Om some of the embarrassments en-
,iied upon the action of its Depart
lents, and that they will be promptly
dopted as well by the people as by
leir representatives. !;

ENGLISH PAUpERIsM MIR. Bruce stated
in parliament, that English pauperisn has
increased 45 PER cent. iu the last three
years. At this rate the whole population
will be paupers in few years. The Lon
don Ntrs, however, begs the public to res
member that the period during which this
increase has tahcn place is just the period
of the greatest and longest commercial de
preston which this generation has cxper
fenced. Three years ago the great collapse
Of credit took place. and that collapse fol
lowed on periol of iu6atlon. Ia 1865 a |
went merry as marriage bell trade was
brisk, credit good, prospects cheering and
pauperism was probably at its minimum. =
The As per cent increase is, there the full
effect OF disastrous time is an increase
of Is per cent per annum through three
years of depression. ] he NeWs, therefore,
looks for diminution Of pauperism but
it usges a better adm iniStration of the poor
laws, and ii C necessity of more discrinin
alton in giving reliet.
