THE Senate and Assembly chambers
are in a shockingly dirty plight. Never
a broom, nor swab, nor dash of
water, nor an ounce of soap has been
seen III either OF those apartments since
the Legislature adjourned. The old
sol, rs of nicotean Solons still cluster
about the verge of the forlorn and
abandoned spittoons; clutter and the
things of untidiness cumber floor and
desks and chairs and all hooks and cram
MES; and one with an able bodied nose
turned up that feature in scornful curve
as he spoke of. the effluvium which
arises from all these uncleansed condi-
tons. Let him or them, whomsoever
it may be that is responsible for the
brushing and scrubbing and general
care of those chambers paomulgate an
order for their thorough overhauIing, or
there will be direful pestilence come
upon the habitues of the State House
We have "held in" good while rather
than say anything about this matter
but a month has passed by since those
halls were abandoned by the Legislature
and it is high time they were attended to.

farm. the disease is seriously retarding
blowing and planting and business gen

portion Of last years crop remains ON
the ranches, the teams being unable to
haul it to market. Some of the animals
have partially recovered, but are yet
weak, and ten or twelve are required to
do the work ordinarily accomplished by
four. The doctor saw, in one instance,
ten horses pulling harrow, and in an
other, twelve hitched to pillow. Mr..

MORE OF THE Town CONVENIENT Ours
rIoN.-Just one word to those OF our
taxpayers who are hanging FIRE on the
town government question. Their OBJ
lection to the applicat on Of the law to
Carson is that il will add increase to the
already heavy load of debt. Some facts
and figures brought to bear upon this
question will help Us and them to q bet
ter understanding of the matter, Last
year We paid a tax, all told, of 81 60.
This year, as has already been deter
mined by the Board of County Commits
sioners. the tax will amount, general.
special and all, to 81 35-a reduction of
80 cents below that of last year. The
Law for 1.-The better government Of
towns and cities the Act under which
it is proposed to carry on a cheap town
government here, makes specific pro-
vision that the additional tax accruing
Hereunder shall not exceed per cent. :
be applied to the local affairs of Carson
the tax even if it were pressed to its far
thest limit, could not amount to more
than 50 80, and that amount is but 20
cents in excess of last years tax-that
is, the very EXTREMIST possible limit is
only that much. But here is something
sure regarding the matter-something
better than mere vague theory: The tax
levied for this year is - 80; thirty cents
more on top of that will bring it up to
last year 5 figures. The Bard Of Guam
ty Commissioners decided at their meeting
day before yesterday tb,t if the ToOen
Government proposition should prerail,
thy ,couid not make the ne,o lety more
than the 80 cents needed to carry tie tar
up to last gears figures. This ought to
silence all opposition.

The subject indicated in the heading
has lain dormant so long as to have al
most passed out of mind; and it is
through the thoughtfulness of Mr.. Will
liam Corbett, who took it upon himself
to interview one of his guests concern
ing the matter that we are furnished
with the outlines for the following state
ment relative to that project. The guest
aforesaid was Mr.. Wilson, who lives
near Aurora ; and he says that the Road
Company are pushing their enterprise
with much vigor, constructing bridges
and grading, and that they expect to
have the road open for wagon travel
within three weeks or less time. This
will facilitate traffic and travel between
this point and the borax and silver
mines of the Columbus District very
materially, and bring about the long de-
sired close relations between Carson and
those important points. Mr.. Wilson
says that the Bornx Mining Company
find il very difficult to obtain the neces-
sary labor, and that there is work in the
district for quite q number OF men. The
wages are - per day. These bora1
mines are very profitable. and yield II
handsome profit to the company. Some
money subscribed here in behalf of this
wagon road last Summer seems sure to
prove a good investment indeed, ii by
means of its opening the trade Of the CO.
lumbus District is directed klther, the
direct and indirect benei.s to Carson
merchants will be very considerable.
