LIME

For dozen years past, this section
hu, been IA favoritc resort for northern
spectators, but il is a question whether
they have done more for our people than
10 skin them out Of their money and tim
hrr. We make one honorable exception
in favor of Mr.. Brady, of Pennsylvania,
who, Il few years ago introduced the Use
of lime H. Il fertilizer of the land, and
has thereby rcvolutionized our agricul-
turul interests. Lime has proved to be
exactly adapted to the wants of our soil.
In more than one instance it has brought
up old. WORKOUT, waste fields so ~ 10
produce excellent crops of wheat and
~raSS. Some half dozen lime kilnS are
now in operation to furnish the means Of
cnriching the soil.
Under the stimulus thus given to farm
ing, our people are beginning to break
loose from an old tradition that wheat
could not be raised here. 1t is soon to
be- the staple product, if indeed. it does
not deserve that name now. Late at
tcmpts in this direction warrant Us in
SAYING that no portion Of the State will
produce better crops of wheat than can
be- raised in this section.

IN EDUCATION

our people have for some time been

the little village OF West Union Il fine
arudcmy building at II cost of $l3,0o0;
and furnished it with maps, globe and
other apparatus FOR the assistance and
convenience of the pupils.
\ graded school is now in operation,
and is in Il prosperous condition under
the charge of F. V. n. Painter, a gradu-
ate of Roanoke College. Efforts will be
put forth to make it an established high
school, and the prospect is that the enter
prise will succeed. Our people seem to

WHERE DID IT ALL COME FEoM.-Ac
cusations have been made against thai
model Governor Kellogg that he used
money to corrupt Congressman and
United States Senators. Kellogg denies
the charge. We might remark en- pas
SAINT, that the man would deny anything,
even his Savior. But say that the denial
is good; that he did not use the money
to corrupt Senators, but for the purposes
OF a legitimate law suit, the question is
then in order, where and how did he get
the money; no matter for what purpose
it was spent? The various sums re-
ported amount to q good many thous-
ands of dollars. Now his salary is not
sufficient to meet those heavy demands,
and if it were, he would be very sure not
to use it for such purposes. The same
may be said of his private fortune. The
public money he had no right to use.
Where then did this money come from?
OF course every one knows to a moral,
if not actual certainty that the money be-
longed to the people, and that Kellogg
stole it to fortify himself in a position
that was acquired by means equally
base.

JOHN c. DE VoY writes us with refer.
ence to the item in yesterdays Call re-
lating to Overland Robberies. He
says the officials of the company are not
to blame, and vouches for their courtesy
and fidelity. The conductor from Elko
he especially eulogizes. 1T was the
Sheriff at that place, and a similar fellow
at the station beyond, who acted as if
they were in leage with the gang who
plundered the German. In the present
case it seemed to me and every one else,
that this passenger was robbed solely
through his own folly and childishness
He allowed his money and valuables to
be quietly taken from his hand and
staked on faro table without word OF
protest or resistance. He was shameful
ly tieeced, it is true, but he went like q
lamb to the slaughter rs. F. Call.
As the Sheriff of Elko county, an hon
orable and estimable gentleman, who,
on all occasions, has done and will do
his duty, we think Mr.. De Voy is wrong
again.

After years of remonstranee and ex-
postulation, the President is just recog-
nizing the fact that the Federal patron
age in the Southern States has been
most shamefully abused. Incompetent
men OF the very worst character have
been foisted into the Federal service,
with DO qualification in the world, than
a pretended adherence to the admin
istration party, while their real motive
was to secure an opportunity for plumber.
and to assist manipulating State matters
to suit the book of the man that secured
their appointment. This evil, that has
been crying so long and loud for redress,
has at last attracted the attention OF the
President, and be announces his inten-
ton to make a clean sweep OF the dis
honest scoundrels, that have disgraced
the Federal service and rendered them
\ selves infamous. If the President effects
this reform he will do a good work,
which, though i. ought to have been
done sooner, will reflect much credit on
him. As brilliant specimen of the
class Of persons we have alluded to, We
will instance that delightful youth, U. S.
Marshal Packard, who has been favoring
the people OF New Orleans with the ben.
eft Of his presence for several years, and
has done SO much to impede the progress
and prevent the paeifcation of Louisi.
ana. Packard though nothing but 6
Federal officer, has from the first inter
fered in and been potential power in
State affairs. In all the dirty scrape
and stealings, he has always had finge
t in the pie. In this, however, this ma
: does not differ from most of the Federt
: officials in the Sonth. Ever since the ell
of reconstruction, they have Away
, had hand in the administration of loci
! affairs. At a meeting OF the Board @
Aldermen Of the city of Galveston, il
Texas, We saw the Board presided owe
by the Postmaster, who was Mayor
| "n!le among tue hemUerS OF tue boar
figured the Collector Of Customs an
United States Marshal, who, with a fe,
. other carpet-baggers and negroes, rul
the whole machine. Right here is on
of the great sources of all the troubles
t These men had no real or abiding intel
est in the city or State they were govern
ing, and, therefore, were perfectly reel
less as to the consequences of their acts
, Liabilities were increased franchise
granted, debt piled mountain higl
= enormous taxes levied, which the in
poverished people had no means of NEE
, ing, and the result is what we see.
the President will send the whole hord
of these scoundrels packing and put hor
, est, respectable men in their places,
+ will have gone very long way towar
, solving the vexed question OF reconstru,
ton, to the speedy and peaceful al
complishment of which these very mel
have been the principal stumblin
blocks.

says:
Two weeks ago, the Citizen informed
its readers that some Eastern capitalists
had an agent in Sonora, to Obtain inior-
nation necessary to base an organization
upon, to build railroad from Guymas
up the State 10 the Arizona line, and
finally to make a connection with the
Texas and Pacific when completed, and
that such road must come via Tucson.
James c. Truman is the agent referred to
and he arrived in this city by private
conveyance last Saturday. He reports
the, people very enthusiastic over the
prospects Of railroad. and willing to
aid the construction to the full extent OF
| their limited means. The only obstacle
now in the way Of commencement of the
work is the legalization by the Supreme
Government Of Mexico, the legislation
the State of Sonora has already enacted
and it is strongly hoped that the mex
session of the National Congress will give
it its approval. for the work is almos
essential to the political life Of Sonora tc
say nothing of its prosperity.
