islature. This Recommendation and
those relating to the creation of a
building fund; the abolition Of the
stamp tax; the codification of the
laws; the disposition of the claims
of the State against the General Gov
eminent; the repeal of the Insurance
Law (which only tends to foster
monopoly of the fire insurance bus;-
ness); the deductions and conclu-
sions of fact regarding the various
judicial Districts Of the State and
the suggestions as TO their recon
struction; the comments upon the
Centennial Exposition at Pbiladel-
phia; and the conclusions enunciated
upon the prolific subject of the cor
ruption of voters, in all these things
we do most heartily agree with the
Governor. We cannot SO fully con
cur with His Excellency's Views up
on the Registration Act. for we think
that its prepayment of the poll tax
clause might well be restored before
any of its guards are taken Off; and
while we agree with the suggestion
that the State Prison is governed too
much, and are of opinion that the
Warden, like any other State officer,
should be free FROM an annoying
guardianship and surveillance, We
do not. by any manner of means
concur with the Governor in his no.
tons Of running the Penitentiary by
water. Moreover, the present sys-
tenn is sufficiently rigorous; and for
that reason we fail to recognize the
necessity for consigning our convicts
to a residence near Reno!
The general tone and tenor of the
Message is excellent. as we have be
fore expressed our opinion; and with
the exceptions which we have noted,
it is all that could be desired and
quite satisfactorily covers all needed
ground. 1t is by all odds the best
Executive Message (more practical
in it's matter and vastly superior in
its literary character) that has ever
been issued in Nevada.

DEATH OF Ex-ENPEROR NAPO-
LEON.


The dispatches of last evening con-
tain the following highly important
announcement:
CHIsELHURsT, Jan. 9.-The ex-Em-
peror Napoleon died at 1920 this
forenoon. Since last evening, when
his condition was pronounced criti-
cal. he grew worse. The night was
almost passed in total helplessness,
the great physical strength and en-
DURANGO which he had exhibited gave
way, and the patient became almost
FRUSTRATED. DIR. Gull, DR.. Thomp-
son, and several other physicians and
surgeons were in constant attendance
at his bedside. Their presence,
however, was of little avail. The
throng of visitors at Chiselhurst was
something remarkable, and hourly
bulletins were issued by the pnysi-
clans. His faithful corsort. the ex
Empress Engenie, has been with him
almost constantly since the beginning
of his present sickness. Her grief
ut her husbands condition was very
great, and it is feared the sudden ca
lamity which has now Overtaken her
may produce serious results upon
her already overtaxed nervous and
physical system.
LoNDoH, Jan. 9.-The announce
men, Of the death OF Emperor Napo-
leon. although not totally unexpect-
ed. created profound sensation in
this city III arlstocratic circles. Gen
.eral and deep sympathy is expressed
for the OK Empress and the Prince
Imperial in their bereavement The
Bonapartists in London are much
depressed over the calamity, and
viii meet at an early day to take
suitable action. condoling with the
death of their leader.
PARIS. Jan. 9.--The news from
England, received here to day, an
nonncing the deuth of NAPOLEON at
Chiselhurst. causes the most intense
excitement here in official quarters.
1t is the sole topic of discussion.
The citizens are in Il perfect ferment
with excitement, and crowds have as
sembled at the various newspaper
bulletins. discussing the situation
and the probable action of the Bona
partist faction, which has now 10 head.
such excitement has not been wit
messed in the streets of Paris since
the war with Germany. The Imper-
ialist members in the Assembly, are
much concerned over the intelli-
gence, and express sympathy for
the Empress and her son.

CONTESTED SEEATORSHIP.

White Pine county or rather her
politicians are in middle over their
Senators. It seems that on the or
ganization of the county there were
two Senators elected, Cleveland and
Mills, and that these gentlemen fail
ed to draw for the long and short
term, that at this time both claim
their seats. At the last election
John Wagner, an old Carsonite, and
a good man, was elected TO the Senate
and now there is talk of contest.
We can't see where the contest comes
in unless it is between Cleveland and
Mills. This plain proposition is
Wagner should be allowed his
seat in the Senate whilst Cleve' and
Mills should settle the question of
long and short term between them
selves. It is possible that the law
creating White Pine county was de-
fective in not specifically defining it
to be the duty of the Senators elect
to draw for the long and short term
but there is no question as to the
theory and intent Of the constitution.
Reno Crescent.
In the above werecognize the terse
writing and directness of statement
of the veteran whose retirement from
the Crescent was noted lately. 1t
states the case in nutshell.
Now in support of the proposition,
heretofore made in these columns.
namely that there is constitutional
principle affecting this question and
of the application of which principle
the people of White Pine county are
deprived SO long as Mr.. Wagner is
excluded from the seat in the Senate
to which he has been elected, we
quote as follows from the Constitu-
ton of this State. Section 10 of said
instrument reads as follows:
SEC. 10. A: the general election
in A. D. eighteen hundred and sixty
six. and thereafter, the term of Sena-
tors shall be for four years from the
day succeeding such general election.
and members of Assembly for two
years from the day succeeding such
general election, and the terms of
Senators shall be allotted by the
Legislature in long and short terms.
as hereinbefore provided, SO that one
half the number, as nearly as may
be, shall be elscted every two years.
This fixes the principle of the thing
SO plainly as that none may go wrong
it clear that it was the in
tention of the trainers of the Consti
tuition that the Senate should be
of one half of new mate
rial every year. 1t is doing an I'M
violence to this principle
to do otherwis. than oblige the pres
ent Senators from White Pine county
to draw lots in order that it may be
decided as to which one of themselves
should give way to the long term
Senator elect, It seems to us as
little too much to set up
FOR a. new county like White Pine
that she is entitled to two followers!
Let us have one at time and they
will last the longer.
