Esq, book-keeper of the Branch
Mint, Carson, was in the city Sunday.
Mr.. Stephens reports reduction in
the wages of the Mint operatives Of
fifteen per cent. A former re iuction

that SEINE could stand and live, and
the present reduction is severely felt.

they received 500 per month in
greenbaeks. This was by the pre-
vious reduction cut down 10 $50
in like currency, and now fifteen per
cent. more is taken off by reason al

There were in the Mint previous Il

and several Liberals, but they all fee
the injustice of a retrenchment which
is aimed at laboring class hereto
fore but poorly paid for their services
and are all Republicans now En-

The very best thing the Democrats
did yesterday was to nominate MIR.
Kirkpatrick of Virginia for Supreme
Judge. He is lawyer whose abili-
" is cordially recognized by his
brethren Of the profession, and in
whose integrity the public at large
have the greatest confidence. His
remarks upon receiving the nomina-
ton and subscribing to the platform
were most opportune, snd could not
have been better chosen. He said
in etfec, what all thinking men are
firm upon that the position was one
Of great responsibility, and should
call out the hes; legal talent in the
State, irrespective of political differ
ence-that the purity Of the srmine
should never he sullied by contact
with the political arena. 1t made
no difference 70 The Supreme Judge
whether 4 party whose interests were
IN controversity before him was q
Demncra, or Republican, 4 Catholic
or Protestant, the eternal principles
of justice must always be maintained
inviolate, Mr.. kirkpatrick was
nominated by reclamation.

/ The ENTERPRISE in abiding to
the bullion tax question recently SAID
J, by the way that general reduction
of the rates of taxation would be in
order. since the State has plenty OF
funds in the treasury. Mr.. Cassidy
! of The Eureka Sentinel, who is bet
ter posted up in State affairs than
any other editor in Nevada, perhaps,
thus repiys in his paper:
The Enterprises assertion that
there is surplus of money in the
vaults of the State Treasury is i'll adj
vised. The State owes vastly more
money than it has on hand. The
bonded debt of the State is upwards
of half million. The money that
has accumulated is in the way OF
sinking fund tor the redemption OF
these bonds. There is not, and has
not been any surplusin the treasury.
1t is also proper to state IN tins con-
pection that State taxation was re-
Guced by the last Legislature from
81 % 10 ninety cents ON the 500.
A still further reduction may be pos
sible, but it must not he effected
through a lesseniny Of the bullion
tax,
We fully agrec with The Sentinel
on this latter point. The bonanza
will Toe worked out in time, and
while II lasts let US tax It
commensurate, with our indebted
ness, at least. When the ore bodies
shall have been exhausted and their
silver shall have all gone into the
lap of San Francisco, the bonds we
NAV have out will have to be re-
deemed by tax on real estate,
which would fall quite heavily upon
the people. All things considered,
then. reduction Of the rate of taxa
ton, as Mr.. Cassidy points out, is
not desirable.

We believe Mr.. Cassidy lost rare
chance yesterday. His friends in
dueei him n withdraw from the con-
ventian is a candidate for Congress,
for reasons best known 10 themselves.
The ballot for Mccoy and Ellis
showed that Mr.. Cassidy's nomina-
ton was not Only possible but quite
probable. Mccoy, an old man and
infirm, whose abilities in practical
legislation were questioned by his
best friends, ran remarkably well
against Ellis. Had Cassidy been in
his place We think he would have
been nominated. He is the strong
es, man his party could have pu,
forward. He would have buoyed
the ticket, whereas Ellis bears il
down. Not that Ellis is not an ex-
emplary man and talented lawyer
but he represents the chivalry wing
of the Democracy, and will not draw
any votes from that large elemen, o.
the people who stand on neutral
ground. He cannot beat Wren
whereas Cassidy might do so had HI
the chance. Cassidy lost an oppor
tunity, and so did his party.
