on their guard. We sItac; the follow

In the frat place there 1. the Reno Stat.

YEAR, ago fer the purpose Of manufacturing
Dsmocrstic votes, and 10 . most lament
able failure in evvry respect.
Again. there 10 the title Of tho present
prison ground to consider. and We hope 10
be able 10 shov 10 our Legislators that the
parties claiming Il have net q shadow Of
right 10 tho property.
Again. an appropriation will b asked
for the payment Of the expenses Of the
Nevada State Prison invesiiyation-that
star chamber arrangement in which the
notorious csurtesan, Mollie Forshay. and
0svsrnsr Braaley's hired spy figured 80
largely. During the Last session Of tho
Legislature . joint committss Of beth
House. was appointed to examine into the
State Prison Affairs. That COMMITTEES was
composed Of ssms VI the bsst members Of
beth Houses. and after . long and careful
examination aud an eudlsss expense in
procuring witnesses. the committee re-
ported everything right. and entirely az
saeratsd the Warden from any wrong
doing. OF course the expenses Of that
investigation must 10 paid by the State,
but here eomss tAs rub. and We ask legis.
lators 70 male inquiry Of the proper an-
thoritiss aAd hnd out whether or not We
are right In our assertions. The Chief
Executive VI the State. after the adjourn.
meat Of the Legislature. RECOMMENDED his
prosecutions Of ths Warden. n d lengthy
Investigation entailing . heavy expense
was the consequence. This iuquisition
terminated ~ did the irst. viz in the
entire and uneluivocal exonsration Of the
Warden FROM all tho malicious charges
agAinat him. and now 10 will 10 asked Of
the Legislature 10 make Al appropriation
for the payment Of the cost u the inqsisi-
ton.
We have always considered that there
RAJ more OF political engineering than
srpsdisney at issue in the removal OF
the State Prison from Carson to Reno.
and this was pretty we'll proven at the
last G~uberpatorial canvass. when the
Building OF the new prison was boldly
made use OF by the Democratic Gubsrna-
torial clique to carry washos County.
Should the desired appropriation DO
made. It would doubtless be applied for
the same purpose and at the time when
1t could do the most good, unless It
should be passed with tho proviso that
1t should not take effect until after the
next State election. As to the State Prison
investigation. that is merely . matter Of
record in favor Of Warden Hyman. II
WAS u personal matter between the Gov
srnor and the Warden. q split in the
Democracy. so to speak; a sort Of fami-
ly quarrel in which Warden Hyman had
the sympaihy OF most OF his party and
all outsiders. He got away with the
nght CALAMITY. yet the Governor is un.
willing to forgive or forget, but revenge
fully tries to bulldoss him Whenever he
can got = chance.
