THE RACING SPURr.

The most casual observer cannot
have failed to note the development of
an inordinate taste fer horse-racing on
the Pacific Geast during the past two
years. When celebrated flyers come
together in any OF the larger cities of
California, the los profound interest
is manifested by nearly all classes Of
citizens III every part of the country
west of the Rocky mountains, and it
not unfrequently occurs that thou
sands are staked, in remote inland
towns, on the result of a single dash.
In Nevada, this spirit is growing rap
idly. There are no better or liberal
patrons OF the California turf than the
poope of this state. No important
turf event transpires on the other side
of the m%ounains that is not witnessed
by scores OF Nevadans. All of this i,
Indicative Of two things: First, flush
times; and secondly. a strong admira-
ton tor the performances OF the noblest
of the brute creation-the horse. The
man who does not admire a fine horse
has but little poetry in his soul. While
all may mo- admit it, it is a fact tina,
every man feels a greater or less inter.
est in a renowned fyer, one that can
make good time and repeat as often as
required.

ing. Men buy pools just like they pur-
chase lottery tickets, and in many in.
stance s the chances of winning are
about the anne in one direction as in
the other. The knowing ones. those
who control the horses, fix up all sorts
OF games whereby they are enriched
and the public tieeced; but then, the
great public thirsts for Amusement
and, so long as it is furnished, it i,
OF little matter who pays the bills.
The past season in California has
been wonderful in the annals of aeinc
The purses contested for have been
simply princely, and the time, in sew
eral eases, unequaled. Pacifie-coasters
are nothing if not princely-when they
have the coin. The grandest racing
and most liberal purses ever heard Of
IN any country may be confidently an
ticipated in California next year.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE:

There IL no denying the fact that our
county finances are in a bad fix.
Something will have TO be done at the
coming session of the Legislature. AT
the present market rate Of scrip, the
county is compelled TO pay on an aver
age about two dollars for one for every
thing needed or consumed. This state
of affairs must not be tolerated a day
longer than is absolutely necessary.
Tho-s a~e two ways ont of the dilemma.
One is to fund the debt of the county.
and the other is to authorize to issue
ami sell bonds sufficient 10 liquidate
all Outstanding indebtedness. The
question is. which of these schemes
should be adopted? There are strong
arguments in favor Of beth PROPOSE
tons. For cur part. if there is any
certainty of the bonds bein. taken, We
should prefer the bonding scheme.
When the bonds are sold and
the money placed in the Treas
ury, the county may be largely
benefited by advertising for the sur
render of the most dollars in scrip for
the fewest dollars in coin. In other
words. allow the county to shave its
own paper. There IAN be nothing dis
honorable in this, as much of the
outstanding Indebtedness was contract
ed on a basis of almost two dollars for
one. Those of us who expect to live
permanently in the county are deeply
interested in this matter. and we should
try 10 devise the most feasible plan for
relieving the county of its present EN-
barras>meut. With the acquisition of
the Mineral Hill strip of territory,
which we must have. and a proper
bonding or funding bill, the county
may speedily get back to a cash basis.
At all events the question is one which
should claim the earnest attention OF
every taxpayer. our columns are
open, as usual, to any one desiring to
give his views on the subject.

A CERTAIN United Senator. resident
IN Nevada, having recently purchased
a horse to complete his double team,
insisted upon calling his new acaU.si-
ton Indus" and upon being dues-
tioned for his reason therefor, replied
that he had heard somewhere of I'm

classical attainments.

night and he arrested on q trumped mp
charge. The general deiDeanor of the
officials ind,ca.ed a determination to in
terlere with and suppress the opera
tons of the company. The latest
outrage is the unwarrantaile
seizure of flour and other stores
by the Mexicans. An order was issued
by the District Judge demanding
Brooks to surrender all arms in his
possession. Brooks refused to accede
10 the proposition, claiming his actions
were justified by The treaty OF 1872.
The workmen were armed and the
mine fortified. The boundary is
marked by bite flags and every Mex
Can who crossed over was disarmed.
This was maintained until the arrival
of the Saranac. No actual engage
ments took place. The presence OF the
Saranac changed the tone of the OH :
Gals. Gov. DaValos ordered extra troors
OF tire protection of the Americans, and
the Judges order, demanding the for
fixture of arms, was r~escinded. The
Saranac remained at La PaZ n month.
All disputes were amicably settled. and
the American residents now feel safer
than at any previous interval during
the last 10 years. At the time OF
the arrival of the Saranac a revolution
was hourly expected at La Paz. Patrols
were on duty every night, and the
greatest excitement prevailed. The
feeling had not subsidized when the Sar-
anac left.
