Mint Appointments.

The Virginia Chronicle of the Sd in
slant has the following relative to
matters at the Carson Mint:
On Tuesday last the President ap-
pointed G. W. Bryant as Meter and
Refiner of the United States Branch
Mint at Carson, vice James Andrews
suspended. and VIM. Hy. Doane, of
Gold Hill. Conner at the same inStitu-
ton, vice c. \. Noteware, suspended.
His many friends were to-day con-
graduating Hy. oil his good luck. A
rumor was also current on the street
to-day to the effect that Hon. John H..
Mills had been appointed Superin-
tendent Of the Mint, to supersede H..
F. Rice, but we could not trace the
rumor to any reliable source. 1t is
understood that the above changes
were made at the solicitation of Sena-
tor j.. p. Jones.
This looks a little like Senator Jones
was destined to control the Federal
patronage in Nevada. If such should
prove to be the case, and he Uses it
wisely, it will give him much addi-
tional strength in shaping the politics
Of the State. We believe that Sena-
tor Jones has the capacity to make
the proper use of it. No man ever vet
succeeded in politics who ignored
those who helped him into office.
Every public mar should stand by
his friends through thick and thin,
and if al enemy happens to urn up
in the way, decapit tie him on the spot.
While it is true that the patronage of
Nevada amounts to but little, it is
also equally true that the policy we
have indicated is as applicable to this
State as any other. II Senator Jones
should think proper to pursue the
course we have suggested, the time is
not far distant when he will be al
luded to as the Broderick of Nevada.

Weak Defence.

The Republican papers n1akeA very anne ana
weak defence of the City Council 1t will be re-
membcred by our readers that tho GAZETTE has
abstained from any personal illusions in all that
it has said on the subject Of the great extravagance
of that body. We do not intend to be led into
singing out members of that body and specifying
certain things more than others that have been
done in such costly manner. We take the whole
action of the several rings that distribute the jobs
among their friends and supporters, and we do Sl-
lege that the extravaganza Is truly alarming. Why
the very fact that the members Of that body would
dare ~ attempt to cover up the enormous outlay
by wasting $4,000 to $4,000 in single year
upon what they please to term "City Hospital, ;
is sufficient of itself to prove al that VIC have
said. they hoped to lead the people to believe
they were doing great work of charity, when in
fact there was not patient to go into the institu-
ton. Aud two Of the most prominent members
OF the Council, Republicans, men OF experience
themselves, declared it was great mistake that
the attempt to run hospital would only prove a
loss; that ii would become an elephant on the
hands of the city; the city owned eligible lots
already, they urged tho building ofa' smail, but
suitable house, rather than waste money on an ex-
penslve building that would require to be altered
at heavy cost
While We are simply urging that the citizens
should be served in the Council by gentlemen who
will pay more regard to economy, the Republican
attempts defence of that body, 10 which 1t ad
mits that it is expending great deal of money
but says "not dollar as land out that iS not de-
mdnded By the citizens" Now, the readers of that
paper know that it has only been a week or ten
days since it said the new hospital buildings were
not demanded. While it thus contradiCts Itself,
in proceeds inis own weak way to ask that "if
there has been any waste Of funds We should hike
to see the instances pointed Outf" How can the
people point out the instances when those in the
rings make it point to cover up their tracks,
But where is the use OF pointing out single item
where all is done without regard to economy. The.
hospital, and the lobby Iees, are fair examples Of
the extravaganza Of the whole.

Not so Ignorant.

The Commercial must have poor opinion of
the intelligence OF its readers. We have no such
idea of them. We arc well acquainted with the
Republicans of this city, ana that paper can
never make us believe that they are so ignonnt
as not to know thata Congressman discharges only
about nine months of actual service. American
readers are fully aware of this fact-they know
that the short session Of a Congress lasts three
months and that the long session continues about
six months, SO that nine months is the time ac.
tually put in. For these nine months, seryiee he
fore the ''salary steal" bill was passed by Re-
publican Congress, the pay was S5, 900 a year; or
in other words $4,000 for nine months service
The salary steal" bill makes it $4,000 for nine
months service. And this too was by that bill
made payable monthly, so that now a check for
SG2j is forwarded every month TO the fortunate
man who holds q seat in the most corrupt body
of men that ever disgraced the halls of our ma
tional legislature. uttit ytFot asik g. '.-s
The Commercial had better examine its files,
we quite confident that it did say the pay
for Congressman was none too much, notwith-
standing 1t now denies having said So But il
wishes US 10 believe it. confined, this lremaTk TO
the pay of the President, and it now repeats that
$4,000 is ''none TOO much" Considering that
all former Presidents received but $25, 900 year
and were satisfied with il, aud that the govern
ment furnishes nearly all the neccssaries for the
Presidents house, keeps his gardens and his

of all the nen who ever held the high and re-
sponsible chair of Chief Magistrate.

as ii defends the extravagance of the city 1t is
