The new daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1872-1873, 1872-11-20

With the completion Of the accruine
four yeazs Presidential election will be
held. That year-the year for the cleo
ton of President, will bring with it the
one hundredth anniversary of the Decla-
ration of American Independence. 1t
should be quite q natural ebullition Of
patriotic sentiment, or patriotic peculiar
arities las enc chooses to have it) for the
people of the United States to make q
manifestation in earnest of their solid and
perfectly grounded faith in what has been
done in vindication and ratification of
the said Declazation; and with relation t.
the Presidential choice of that time we
will venture this prophecy: By the COM
ing Of the year 1876. Grant will have so
far illustrated his own masterlike fitness
for the place Of the Chief Executive of
this Republic; will have so notably dem
onstrated his determination to execute
the laws-let them hit whom they may
that the people-not the wire pullers-
the PyoP1E will literally rise up in mass
and say:
la.s IAN GIANT is the central figure in
the Preservation of this Republic:
He Is the most faithful and painstaking
and strictly conscientious observer and
Executive Of the laws of the land-civil
service and all-that this nation ever
had; and
W,aereas this is the centennial anniver-
sary of that which was saved to US as
people through efforts which were IA
mouSly headed by General Grant; and
Whereas this is a fit and proper time to
demonstrate our sense of gratitude for the
blessings of nationality and our appre-
citation of the man who stands foremost !
amongst its presesvers-in field and civic |
council,
Therefore, BE it resol. 3 l thai this man |
Grant shan be unanimously declared, for !
the third time, President Of these United
States: This in manifestation of our sense |
of patti otisn; our gratitude over flag |
upheld and \ national honor preserved:
and in token of our large esteem for and
iul. Hath in the first soldier of our strug-
gle against national dismenberment;
and the never falterins executive of the
laws wh:ah were PASSED in furtherance OF
tn rehabilitation of Grant States and the
of the Constitution Of the
Republic.
This covers the round of what We are
trying 10 express. Giant will be the first
MAJ to Ike the Presidential Office out
Of the tur5id vortex and swirl of politics.;
he s.st nan to be elected, without oppo-
sitioa II the Presidency; and the first
man to be honored with a third election

Ten Millions of Fighting Men.

All the principal countries of Europe,
except Austria,are recognizing their army
system. Germany is about to Increase her
available military force by 400, 900 men,
and Russia, whose army, including ire
gulars, has hitherto numbered ! 1909, 002
men on a war footing, expects, under the
new system, to have force of ., 992, 800
men at her disposal, not reckoning the To-
cal troops and the militia. The new mill
tary organization of France is not yet de-
cided upon, but 1t is believed that its re-
suit will be to increase her army to ,400,-
900. Italy, whose war establishment
hitherto amounted to 5l9 $50 men, includ-
ing reserves, proposes by the plan of reor-
ganiZation which has been adopted by her
government to raise force of from $50, 900
to 500, 900 men. The Turkish army, when
on a war footing, has hitherto been con-
sisting of 10000 men, inclusive of the nz-
ans, or militia. 1t Is TO be increased to
600, 900 men. Finally, the military force
of England at home is to be raised under
Mr.. CaLdwell's scheme TO about 300, 600
men. When all these plans are carried
out the total war establishment of the
armies of Europe will be increased from
4, l66, 900 men to about 10, 900 900. 1t is to be
understood that this number of men is not
! to be withdrawn from peaceful pursuits
at one time. The plans, proceeding more
or less upon the Prussian idea, are to Sc
cure military training to a large part OF
the male population which may he prOmt-
| ly drawn upon In case of war.

The Value of A NeMsnaner.

The following is the experience of me
chanic concerning the benefits of n news
paper:
Ten years ago lived in q town i'm In
diana. On returning home one night, for
l am carpenter by trade, / saw little
girl leave my door, and l asked my wife
who she was. She said Mrs. Harris had
sent her after their newspaper, which my
wife had borrowed. As we sat down to tea
my wife said to me, calling me by name :
Il wish you would subscribe for the
newspaper; it is so much comfort to me
when you are away from home"
II would like to do So" said /, ''but YOU
know | owe payment on the house and
lot. 1t will be all L can do to meet it."
She replied If you will take this pa
per, | will sew for the tailor to pay for it."
subscribed for the paper; it came to me
in due time to the shop. While resting
one noon and looking over it, saw an adj
vertisement of the County Commissioners
to let bridge that was to be built. L put
i'll bid for the bridge, and the job was
awarded to me, on which l cleared $500,
which enabled me to pay for my house and
lot easily, and for the newspaper. If
had not subscribed for the newspaper /
would not have known anything about
the contract, and could hot have met my
payment on my house and lot. A me-
ehanic never loses anything by taking a
newspaper.

is about an Irishman, of course. Pat had
worked two years on the Central Pacific

claim it.n
And havn't 1 worked two years OH yer

Sure, your honor, you have, but after
working two years on it you ought to let
me go home free"
IT can not do that, sir. Why, look at
the case in its true light. Suppose you had
worked for "a farmer two years aud he had
paid you every cant due you, could you ask
him 10 harness urfs team and take you q
hong distance for nothing2"
"Oh, no, your honor, /" said Pat, "but If
he had his team already hitched up and it
had to go any way, as yours does, he would
let me ride. know he would"

WHISKY AND TOBACCO IN MEMPHIS.
what They cost the city Per Year.


The AcdIdnchc sums up the cost of the
dram shops and tobacco stores to the peo-
pie Of Memphis. Here is the account:
Look now ut the cost to our city of these
clearly visible vices. OF course we can
but approximate in this cost. The greatest.
saddest cost, the breaking down, wasting
of virtue and manhood is altogether be-
yond the measurement of our powers,
Omniscience alone, can measure this cost
Using the lowest standard of value, dol
lars, as best we can, how stands the ac-
count with these vices?
These vices versus the city treasury. Lii
quor and tobacco traffic, houses of prostitu-
ton, gambling establishments of Memphis
in account with the city government and
the people:
Dr.-Paid by citizens of Memphis to
licensed dram shops, about S., 900 day,
II, $4,000 year, S45 per year for every
man, woman and child in the city, taking
the last census as authority, about 10000
inhabitants.
These same shops, establishments, in
account with the city government and
people:
Cr.-Paid 10y liquor dealers in the city
for license, with the city treasury, about
80, 900 year, about s. year for every
man, woman and child in the city. So
these dealers give So year to every man,
woman and child in Memphis for the
privilege of taking SIS. Reasonable profit
surely! n fair sample of the profits of the
business
Tobacco dealers in the city in account
with the city treasury, dr.:
Paid by citizens to some of the tobacco
dealers-licensed ones-hardly all, about
$500 per day, SlS2,500 a year; little more
than $3.50 year for every man, woman
and child in the city.
These dealers in account with the city
treasury, cr:
Paid by them into the treasury for Ii
cense, about 81 900 II year; about ten cents
a year for every man, woman and child in
