Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-05-25

mornings APPEAL, complain OF the e1
tortionate charges of certain restauran
in this city. And we have good reason
| for believing their statements. Ii SO
the charges are irregular and therefor'
unjust, and could only have been i'm
posed because their customers were VIVA
are termed transient. The alleged
charges in this instance find parable
lin the earlier and pursr days of The
Republic" Prince Jerome Bonaparts
once, in journ-ying from Baltimore tt
New York. stopped for the night with a
New Jersey hotel keeper who had never
before entertained royal visitor. The
landlord thought it would be an eterDa
party off for less than 800. So after
changing his figures several times to
make the bill foot up that high. he Was
finally brought to . stands.ill at $95.
Then a sudden thought struck him and
he added: ITO making a ID fuss
generally, So" This brought the bill
up to the required 500, which WAS paid.
That landlord never expected to enter
tain Prince Jerome Bonapar;e again,
and he was right in the superstition. II
would seem that the owners Of the res
taurant in our city made the charge they
did in the belief that they would never
have the same guests to entertain Sec
ond time, and they calculated rightly.
too, for their complaining customers
went away =" as mad as March hares.'
The Fourth OF July Committee will
hold another meeting 10 might at the Of
fee Of Judge Patterson, we believe. We
are informed that the Committee are
settin. along very we'll and tina, there is
no doubt Of their success. But it is not
likely that the Committee will adopt the
advice OF the sage o. the Tribune and
allow camels TO be used to draw oar Car
of State upon orr Centennial Fourth.
They will no. allow this 10 be done, be-
cause none OF the Committee is in the
graveyard business. While they are
willing 70 admit that it was fine thing
for John Adams and Thomas Jefferson
to die on the same Fourth Of July, they
have no dispo sition 10 go into the bust
ness of general slaughter on that day.
Irasmuch as the dulless dray-nccse in
the country will pick mp his ears and
run like racer a. the sight of camel,
those trained animals which the Tribune
praised SO highly will not be hitched up
here in Carson on Our approaching
Fourth. But We are assured that we will
have good celebration anyhow, and
that is satisfaction.

DECLINES FURTHER TO SEEK ABBY
card from John McTarcahan, which
ppears in smother column, it will be
cen that he declines further to seek aid
or the construction of his proposed road
o Columbus. His reasons for this are
ully set forth. While We regret that he
AS been impelled to this determination,
here was no other course left open to

pen up a vast trade for Carson, without
