ABOUT SOPHlSTRY.


The Reno Gazette will please not
10 annihilate us altogether if We fail
in some instances to construct q
perfect syllcgism. Sophistry, the
! Gazette must know, is sometimes as
convincing aud entertaining to the
| general run as pure logic. But ave
we saphist when we say that, al.
hitting the Elko University as a
fact. it ought - have to he compiete
a college of mines. bat that we doubt
the propriety, or utility, or effect
i,eness of The primal fact, or the
University2 A parallel course of
reasoning would be to assume that
the University ought to have roofs
on its buildings, or something of
library, or ought to be fenced IN,
although it was a mistake to locate
it a, Exc and the State is too Young
to have a University at all.
This illustration, for obvious rea
sons, may appear more plain to the
Gazette There should be no prison
a, Carson at all it oueh; to I've al
Reno ; but the Carson prison should
have ample guards snd should he
as complete as the safe keeping OF
the prisoners requires 1t to be.
Grantthe correctness of this reason
ing and We at once say that the
Elko University ought TO be in
balmy Califo. MIA, under the con-
troll OF tina, State, bu. Mile i, is in
Elko it ought to be as complete rs
the proper education of the few
students attending it requires.
The Gazette will oblige us by
quoting with sufficient fitness to
show our meaning We said in a
former article that we bad 10 doub.
,ha, the Elko University ought to
have a College of mines. and added
the sentence but where are We
going 10 get the young men to enter
upon such n course or to enter upon
any college or University course in
Nevada ?" That sentence had ref
ereuce to the University as whole,
and implied any considerable mum
Der Of students number above
that which would he attracted nv
the mere proximity of the oppor
tuniiy. But even that number
should be provided with suitable
iormitorie>, recitation looms, and
possibly land as We helievel with
the advantages ufa college Of mines.
Is that passable argument, Mr.
Gazette cli;or? You know when
YOU can alter the conditions of ma
,ure So that people when they make
few dollars in Nevada will no
longer 60 TO Oakland or San Fran
cisco 10 live, you may hope TO keep
students here through course OF
studies involving years in their
completion under advantages ueces-
sarily much less than those afforded
in California.
