DONE.

The Assembly in Committee ot the
Whole last night, did an act OF justice
in increasing the amoun Of the ap-
preparation for the completion of the
State Capitol sG,O0o-so a. to compcn-
satc Mr.. Cavanaugh for his personal
services and losses. ~ we remarked
a few mornings ago, the lack Of any
provision of this kind was the only
Objectionable feature Of the bill. lie
is Justly entitled To- ~ much eonsid-
Grafton as any individual and should
be reimbursed and compensated a.
well as all others who have put their
work and material into the building.
lie has n Just claim on this state and
should be paid, ~ any other man is
paid for work honestly and faithfully
performed. The State OF Nevada can
afford 20 he at least decently honest.
The defeat of this bill would place
the State in no better position than
that of a footpad on the highway, rob
bling and plundcring every man ii can
''gct the drop on" The State has ap-
p~rhpriatod the work and material OF
these men. II has the benefit of theiI
toll. Let them be paid, and 20 their

there could not be a footprint with
out somebody had been there to
make it.
"That is true, Benjamin; and now
show me some of the footprints of
the Creatorr
al don't understand you, father" /"
Benny said.
We'll, who made all these beau
tiful flowers; these splendid trees;
the clouds up in the sky; the great
round earth, and set the mighty sun
flaming in the heavens, and started
the bright moon to rolling round
the world?''
"Oh, God, to be surem'
"Then all these things are but
footprints of the Creator. They
are the sign that there is a Creator,
and that he has been here. See
this ice plant that l hold-man could
never have made it; see all the glis-
tening grass, hear all the chirpine
birds-man did not, nor could not
make them! God made them, and
they are all simple footprints" OF
the Great Creator, to prove to us
that there is good and great God,
whom we love, worship and obey.
