OUR NOMINAL SENATOR'S.

The cheering intelligence is received
that Senator Jones intends to leave tor
Washington in about month. Moth
ing is said of Senator Sharon's inten-
tisn to take his seat in month or ct
any time. Nevada Senators from Cal
ifornia are treating the people exactly
right. They purchashed their honors,
and are under no obligations to the
State from which they claim to be Sen
ators. 1t is to be hoped that Nevada
will learn something from what it is
now experiencing, aud never more
eject a nonresident of the State to the
United States Senate, or to any other
office in the gift of its people. An in
dastrieus, faithful representative, who
takes his place in Congress, no matter
what his political principles are, and
works for the interests of his censtit-
uents. and his State, is preferable to a
partisan of any type, who neglects his
dates to the people, to attend to
his private affairs in aoother State.
Our millionaire Senators have not since
their election spent = dollar Of the
wealth they acquired in comstock
mining stocks in any enterprise for the
public benefit of Nevada. Their millions
seek investment in California, where
they themselves reside, and they tai .
no interest in building up the State
from which they are Senator's only in
name. For all practical purposes Ne
vada might as well have two men from
New York or Massachusetts, to represent
it in the Senate as Sharon and Jones !;
saybody would do as well, nobody could
do any worse.

LETTER FROM CHURCHILL GO.
An Educational Institute to be Built
at Stiilyvater-Ih he Churchill.
ers With Ore Exception
Favor the school.
SALTWATER, New, Nov. 80.


EDITOR SILVER STArE-Recsnt events
in this community indicate that the cit
liens of Churchill county are determined
no longer to exist under the shadow OF
ignorance. On the leth inst. the pub
lie spirited people assembled at Still
water for the purpose of considering the
propriety of consolidating the school
districts and erecting Union School
edifice, to be denominated as the
CHURCHILL COUNTY EDUCATIONAL IssTI-
TCTE.
To the surprise of the few earnest and
enterprising inhabitants, who have long
been advocates of the principle that
little education would not be Injurious
to the embryo law makers aud civic di-
rectors of the county, the community
responded to q man to assist in the gen.
eroas task.
The brawny hunter who chased the
sportive jackass rabbit over the alksli
flats of our vast interior stacked his
weapons and iourneyed to the place of
assembling. exelaiming as he went
My soul is in arms, and eager for the
fray" The bloodthirsty warriors. who
since the close of the last Legislature
have been prosecuting vigorous and
uneompromisiDg war against the whole
animal creation. for the purpose of add
ing to their exchequer by virtue of the
scalp Law, declared an armistics, vacated
the war path. and, with the CORY scalps
of their victims dangling from their
belts. turned their peaceful faces with
anxious hearts toward the Capital. For
one day, at least. the wild mallard float
ed unmolested upon the briny waters
Of the marsh bound Sink; the music OF
the dying swan foated over peaceful
sh res; the odoriferous muskrat, the
musical chipmunk and the semi-domes-
ticated hornfrog greeted one another
upon the sands and discoursed in peace
concerning tho new order of things
the COY and festive coyote howlsd and
howled, and met his ladylove under the
very walls of the dwellings. There was
rejoicing in Israel! Al. men laid aside
their
ANIMosITIEs AND POLITICAL PRKJUDICEs,
and united their strength for the CON-
mon cause. Men in, whose bosom for
the last decade had been cherished Sec
tional strife embraced one another upon
the public plaza, and shed copiour,
gusl ing tears. Republicans and Dem
ocrats, Independents and Prohibition
lists, were observed exchanging ideas
with each other like unto those whs
dwell together in unity and brothsrly
love.
AT last the hour of meeting arrived,
and marching to martial music. accom-
panied by salvoes of artillery, tie
conscript fathers who had resolved to
cross the line which divides the bxrbar-
Gus from the civilized, turned their
faces toward the Capital Building.
An old soldier, who wore upon one
breast cross of the Legion of Honor
aud upon the other decoration from
the Paris Academy of Sciences, as
cended the rostrum, and, in language
worthy of Jean Henri Lacordairs or
Victor Hugo. expostulated on the object
of the meeting. There was applause i
not such puny applause as often greet
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1875-12-03

the'ears of political orator. Dut u"
kind of applause which follows VICTOR
who leads an army on to crimson glory
and undying fame. 1t might have oeen
likened to the burst of al ocean 10 on
earthquake. There was silence
The fathers sat wrapt in deep and silent
meditation. Suddenly the silence was
broken by the clarion voice OF one VINO
has met, at the forum and at the Bar
the profoundest thinkers and the ab'est
orators the new world has yet produced
aud who has never yet lowered his arm.
With the scowl of victorious gladiator
upon his countenance, and bis right
arm raised toward the dwelling place OF
the gods. he looked
A GIANT AMONG PIGMIEs.
For six long hours be entertained the
assembled multitude in scientific
manner. First be pictured in glowing
terms description of the gallant six
Hundred" who rode into the jaws OF
hell at the charge of Balaklava. Next
he traced the history of law from the
tables of Moses to the Nevada Scalp
Act. After this he discoursed on the
beneficial results of flooding the Sahara
desert, and IN the same breath he pre-
scented his project of building ship
canal across the Isthmus of Panama.
Lastly, in burst of scientific enthusi-
asm, he declared that hydrochloric acid,
combined with the essence of amasan.
chronological oil, ,rouid not precipitate
in crume-the,ical fluids.
After this speech there was but one
man who longer doubted the necessity
of building the Union School buildings.
This gentleman stood alone aud de-
manded to be heard. He stood as one
might expect to behold a spirit arisen
From THE TOMB OF THE DARK AGES.
A disciple of Ruskin, he declared that
science was humbag and learning a
chimera. He intimated that civilization
tended toward barbarisn-to be free
aud know the blessings of liberty one
must know but little of books; if the
world was composed ofmen aud omen
who could only read, write and cipher,
the world would be better off. There
would be no Sighting at home, no quar-
reling with foreign nations, women
would excell-men would not call for
fancy drinks.
The chairman now called the speaker
to order. and proceeded to transact the
business. Owing to the distances be-
tween families il was deemed necessary
to erect school and boarding house
sufficiently large to accommodate oil
the children OF the county. A commit
tee was appointed TO attend to tie cree
ton OF. the same. and the Churchill
County Educational Institute will open
on or about Jan. 18th, 1875. A malron
will be hired to snI erintend the board
ing department, and the children will
be boarded at cost, and the school kept
IN session ten months in the year.
Thus have this citizens of this county
shown TO the State that education il
their pride. and that their children shall
have an equal chance with the wide
and wicked world. Thus have the
youth of this wild and iIliterats frontier
been granted an opportunity to auench
their thirst for knowledge. Here We
are to show that a rose can bloom in the
desert, and that this Institution of
Learning eau we'll be the pride of all

Our town council have passed an or.
dinancc releasing the Sea Island Hotel
from taxes for five years, providing it is
opened. This is a move in the right direc
tion as nothing would 80 much improve
our town as thriving hotel The appii-
cations for rooms during the winter has
assured the success of the enterprise if
any one can be induced to open the hotel.
Propositions have been made to the
commissioners having charge of the prop
erty but they seem TO prefer to keep the
house closed to making fair bargain for
its sale; indeed they refuse to pace any
price on it prcferlng to keep it on their
books at a high figure as assets of the
Frcedmen's Bank, and thus in reality
diminishing the real value, as every
month the building is closed, costs for
taxes AMI natural decay are constantly
at work. But the $4,000 IA year paid
these commissioners is worth nursing
even at the expense Of the creditors of the
Bunk.
