The Belknap business is not bad
enough as 1t is, therefore it is the
province of the sensation mongers

Grant is made to figure largely
among the western military posts,

the Babcook trial is also rehashed,
aud Attorney General Pierrepont
charged with double dealing, and
so forth Now. Pierrepont rises in
reply. The telegraph is a terrible
engine for good or evil, and of late
years, notwithstanding an abundant
field for legitimate operations, it
has been characterized with loose
ness of expression regarding men
and things, that would shame a
savage. The burden of the Wash
ington dispatches for some weeks
past, has been to create an ill-feel-
ing between Grant and Bristow. or
make the people believe such a
state of things really exists. The
near approach of presidential cleo
tion explains the animus of the 500
called newsgatherer, and in the
nature of things, We must be pre-
pared for an accumulation OF polit-
ical sensations by telegraph. Those
who have access to this great lever
of the age-who ere practiced in its
varied usss-fnlly understand the
importance of creating the first i'm
preston. and how to avoid fair
contradiction OF the suspicion or
falsehood thus disseminated.

Welcome the Storm.

From the California standpoint we
are having perfect bonanza of
weather. 1t is not only 1.-THE worst
in one sense, but the best winter we
have had for years. Providing the
farmer has succeeded in getting his
grain well into the ground--the full
breadth sown--we should all rejoice
at the very features that have become
so monotonously disagreeable. Our
fate is so intimately connected with
that of California, that the more
prosperous that State, the better for
Nevada. The prevailing storm
fairly clinches the question as to
good crops. Our mines are in con-
dition 10 reeiprocate, and while we
may get out of patience with the
weather overhead, and especially I'M
der foot, and the mills may he. 10
some extent idle, the rest and relax
alton will inure to the benefit of all
concerned. When the roads get
passable, all hands will take hold
with increased vigor. Trains may
be blockaded, the wires interrupted.
and other things artificial experience
temporary decentralization, but after
all, and in a few days at farthest.
human activity will be the more Wig
orous therefor, and the returns pro-
portonately advantageous.

A bill has passed the Senate of the
California Legislature which re-
duces the salaries of State officers
from the aggregate sum of SIG, 400
per annum to 500, 900 per annum,
leaving the handsome saving of
SAT 900 yea,, if the bill passes the
House and becomes a law. This
bill is based on the Republican
platform of last year, and of which
feature thereof Phelps, the candi-
date for Governor, was the special
champion. Should the present
Democratic Legislature carry it ont
in good faith, due credit should be
given, no matter where the idea
origins' ID. 1t is one thing to
pro--Ise and quite another TO per-
f. IN in such cases. The Demo
yratic platform specified nothing,
however, and if the Legislature
really completes any measure of re-
form, it will be a miracle. as things
go. Up to date, the present Cali
fornia assemblage of lawmakers
has been almost total failure-a
fraud on the people.
