Our mails from Hamilton for the past
week have been In q sadly disordered
condition. On Sunday last We received
about six days mail matter in q lump.
Looking over the accumulated mass Of
our exchanges with any care was quite a
task. Yesterday we came across the
Virginia Enterprise Of the 14th inst. and
was rewarded for our labor by finding an
unexpected compliment. The Enter
prise kindly chsrscterizes our modest

Of the Comstock for abusing us, for that
is evidence, that be. has been defeated
and like many other weak folks. the
Enterprise has allowed its anger at being
worsted, TO overcome its good manners
However We forgive It, because we know
that 1t works bard and makes laborioui
efforts to get the best Of its Journalistic
brethren. To fail after striving so assid
uously is provoking and apt TO dis
courage poorly balanced minds. Th'
Enterprise should not allow its discom

become spitefully pettish. Pluck NJ
courage. Try again. II may bav'
better fortune next~ time. Per
haps. until it gains greater skill an'
strength. it had better try conclusion
with the weaker pembsrs OF the press
II it comes out successfully from thos
conflicts, then II can again try its strength
with the Phoebe REcogD. Though NOR
important duties, OF course, claim the at
tention OF the .REconD, still Away
enough time will re spared for bou
with the Enterprise. 1t is very pleas
ant recreation. and gives one healthfu
mental exercise without any danger o
fatigue. On our part. we will promis
not to forget our opponents lack o
strength, and shall always be merciful
On the other hand, II we should by acct
dent hit the Enterprise little harde

the instance we have referred to. Wit
these admonitory hints We shall be gla

The BOOK swINDLE.

Never ending. still beginning is the
trouble raised by these pestilent school
book publishers. OF all operations In
the book trade the sale OF school books
is the most profitable. That is the reason
Why the great Eastern and San Francisco
publishing houses can afford to send out
drummcrs, male and female. to seek q
market for their publications. No sooner
ere one Get OF text books adopted than
the rival houses Immediately set to work
to supplant them, and cause their own to
b. substituted. As rule, with whatever
reason tho books are selected, It is not
that Of benefting those who use or pay
for them. The result is that the text
books are frequently changed without
any sufficient or sppreciable reason.

their progress retarded, while their par
ssts are mulctsf q constant tribute to
the publishing houses. From the papers
published In Western Nevada IL is appar'
emit that . job Of this character Is now be'
ing attempted. Which ever way the effor'
will terminate we neither can guess
or care 90 far as regards any particular
text books published BY this or thai
house. We, however. do care for those
who have to pay the bill and whose
pockets ought to be protected against
this periodical invasion Of those maraud'
srs. The law which permits these Of
recurring spoliations ought to be re
psaled. The Board Of Trustees Of eact

THE Stock MARKEr.--Stocks have
at last rallied, and yesterdays quota
tons were generally higher than for
several weeks past. Jim Keeue has
evidently been telling the people at
San Francisco what he saw in the
mines when he was up here. If he
tells them the truth and they believe
his story the market will no doubt
be strengthened by it. Stocks have
been at low point so long that peo-
pie have had ample time to load up
with their favorites, and when the
bears are gorged with shares they
suddenly become bulls. There is no
reason why there should be any
bears now, inasmuch as the long spell
of depression just passed through has
been sufficient to enable all to put in
whatever money they might have had
for that purpose. The main question
that now agitstes dealers is, are We
really on the seductive verge Of big
ris. or is this merely an allurging
aud temporary advance, to be fol
lowed by rs great u decline. This
is point upon which no newspaper
can safely express an opinion, be-
"ause the wisest men are often non
piasci 10y the movements of stocks.
There is little doubt in the minds "f
many people that the coming fall
will witness rs great an appreciation
Of values in mining shares AS We have
