Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-06-10
OPT On A TANGENT.


or Nation ought to be discussed dispas-
sionately. The APPEAL treats all mat
.srs Of public import fairly. 1t has no
enemies to punish nor friends to reward
Il was the pioneer journal in denounc-
inc III. Bonanzs Kings for refusal TO
nv their proper share Of the taxation
necessary for the maintenance OF Inc
Government under which they had hvsd'
l.borsd, prospsrsd and become mlllion-
,;re.. We have stated in our columns
that III. Bonanza Kings had threatened
IN slsct the next Legislature for the sole
purpose of repeating the tax on the bull
lion product. Nor this alone. We have
iu,imated that they had declared that
shey would elect the next Supreme Court
Judge. We have stated this on common
San Francisco street rumor. 1t IS well
known that many political movements
for the control of this State are hrst
broached in San Francisco. In sta'ins
tho facts which have come to the knowl-
edge Of the APPEAL. there has been no
passion displayed. The facts and IN
sinustions have been conveyed III para
phrases Of Esop's fables and otherwise.
Notwithstanding the cslmness with "hich
we have reviewed all the caiamities
threatened to the State-snd We have
only engaged in this labor for the beno-
fit of the great mass OF the people, inc
taxpaye.s-tha Enterprise OF. yesterday
contained VIVA. was supposed to Do a
,.orch;nc leader directed against the
course pursued by the ArrEaL. Inc
Enterprise does not object IN the least
70 the ..roastings" which the APPEAL
rives TO the Bonanza Kings for their
refusal to pay taxes. That, l; intlmates'
is all right It happens, however, that
the Enterprise Is gifted With aiter-w".
Il had nothing to say abou, the refusal
OF the Bonanza Kings to pa. taxes in'il
aftor they had paid them. Now 1t tells
MS 10 20 after them. We Will not pur-
suo them further. They have paid up,
and that satisfies US, for the present.
Their future objects are what concern
The public. The questions arising out
a. all these complications are: First
Do the Bonanza Kings contemplate
.lecting the next Legislature for the sole
purpose OF freeing themselves from their
INST share of the burdens OF m maintaining
government? Secoud-Do they say that
:hey will put a certain nan upon our
Supreme Bench. We answer both Gues-
lions in the affirmative. Our authority
IL common San Francisco street ruaor.
The Enterprise doubts The assertions
of the APPEAL, aud utters some very
,nkiud sentiments. Il states that all
our remarks have been made to inlnre
Judge Richard Rising. We ADMIT that
his affiliations are such that We shall
oppose his nomination for Supreme
Judce. III the editor of the Enterprise
were better acquainted with Storey
county D olitics than ne is, he would not
work himself into furious passion. and
then imagine that the APPEAL has uttered
passionate sentiments. Perhaps if the
Enterprise editor informs himself of the
pcwer which has KEEP. Richard Rising
on the District Court Bench of Storey
for wears, he will not be so angry. John
p. Jones, William Sharon. and other
Prominent men. once undertook to nom
mate Jonas Seely III place OF Rising
Does the Entcrprise want 10 know who
prevented this change: The Enterprise
says something which is supposed TO be
uo.son.l and bitter OF the editor OF the
APPEAL. who is now in Washington

ness of our statement that the DO
