THE contract for printing the
Nevada State Reports has been
awarded to A. L. Bancroft d Co.,
of San Francisco, at two dollars
per volume. We are satisfied the
price is low enough-even too Mig
gardly to admit of the work being
done in first-class style, but it is .
matter of regret that the printing
of these and all other State Reports
cannot be printed by the publish
ers Of our own State, and not by
San Francisco parties. This send
ing work out of the State, simply
because it can be done a little
cheaper than here, looks like an
injustice to the printers of Nevada.
CRIME has been wearing its high
heeled boots in Virginia City of
late. Hardly night passes but
that some one gets beaten, cut,
shot, or commits suicide in the
town, and it is said the jails are
crowded. and the courts continual
ly occupied. This is lamentable
state OF affairs, truly, and the
officials of that lively burg should
be able to discover q remedy that
will at least check the now ram
pant lawlessness in their city. II
Justice were little more blind,
and mercy little less lenient, the
tendency to crime would not prob
ably be so great after time. We
!, think the suggestion of the En-
terprise," to employ prisoners OF
the streets, hobbled with ball and
chain, if necessary, decidedly jus
tilted by the facts. Some way
must be devised, and that speedily
