GOLD in New York is down to
O64-the lowest point, except for
two days in 1878, since the war. This
decline is due to the influx of coin
from abroad, the more active use of
currency, and general confidence that
the policy of resumption is to prevail
in the not very remote future. Tue
proportion of coin in the bank re-
serves at the East is larger than for
months past, and the supply is get
ting so large that spectators canrCt
easily manipulate the market. 1t is
favorable time for Congress to take
some action toward to the accumula-
ton of specie for the redemption of
legal-tender notes two years hence.
If practical steps were taken looking
towardl resumption, there is little
doubt that the premium on GOLD
would disappear entirely before the
date fixed by the act of 1875.

THE SoLONs at Carson have some
bills in hand in relation to gaming,
one of which provides that all
games shall be moved up stairs,
and another is intended to suppress

better to let it remain on the lower

DO MEN SHIRK :?

they have a spark of manhood in
their composition, Will fight for their
homes, exert all their energies In their
business to support and maintain
them; but, like the old stereotyped
man who would cremate himself for
woman. but never could be induced
to bring in a pail Of water, they can
not for the life of them tell what
studies their child.en are pursuing
at school, who their associates are,
whether they are learning good or
evil-nay, not even one thing father
should know concerning his children.
1t has been said (and it is a pity
almost to spoil the satire) that many
a father finds the Sundays too few
to "becomc acquainted with his chill
dren." We boldly MAINTAIN. in such
cases, that a man who will not or
cannot afford time to be a father to
his children, with all the word i'm
plies, has no business to have any.
He wrongs them, places too weighty
a responsibility upon the mother,
and absolutely is wicked by neglect
ing bis highest duties as man.
There are Dumberless ways in
which father can contribute to
form happy home, and it appears
strange to US that the number of
houses should So greatly exceed the
homes. We all know it takes but
very little to interest and make
children contented and happy at
home; that it is great pity 50 many
little ones are wretched, uneasy and
disconnected.
Suppose the father should for an
hour after the evening meal, romp,
laugh and talk with his children,
think you would the mother wear
out so fast, or the little ones be SO
fretful and troublesomel What an
example for good is the papa's frolic
with the babies, his interest in the
books, the games, the drawings, the
studies of his children! What boy
will slip off to play forbidden
games with his play-fellows, if bis
father takes a hand at draughts OF
checkers with him around the evening
lamp-with mother for an assistant
or locker on2 How much it tighten,
the ordinary drudgery of piano prac
tice for the daughter, if papa calls fol
aud encourages her efforts! 1t i.
passing strange, that with all the en-
dearments of home, with companion
ship, affection, unselfish enjoymen
and rational happiness, as can be hat
with children, men do not pass NOR
time in their homes.
We do not desire to be unmerci
fully severe upon these neglectfu
fathers, but we do say, the kind o
men who display all their politenes
among their fellow men upon thu
street, or at their offices and places o
business, and keep all the faulttind
ing, ugliness and boorishness for th,
family and home circle-well, w
have kind of supreme contempt fo
such miserable wretches. All sucl
we would condemn to pass their day
in shoddy-genteel boarding-houscs
without sight of wife or children
with hash for breakfast, warmed owe
pancakes for lunch, with rusty, leal
msckerel and B. G. hens for dinner
and the lodger overhead Away
practicing d the trombone or fiddle
and servant girls who steal tn,
hair oil.
A great many men think they hav,
done all their duty if they pay thu
ordinary bills of housekeeping. The
money simply makes place for thu
home; to complete 1t the man mus
put in himself, and the best part o
himself at that.

STATE CONTROLLERS REPORT

w. w. Hobart, Controller, has our
thanks for copy of his report, vol
ume of 145 pages, in which we find
full details of the finances 70. Two
wears past and estimates of receipts
and disbursements for " and '1S.
January 1, 1875, the bonded debt
of the State was 100000; the assets
applicable to the payment OF this
debt was $47O,197 81, leaving an ex-
cess Of debt over assets of $780,
500 Oj. There was in the school and
university funds, for which the State
is trustee, In bonds, coin and curren-
CIV, $331,150 0G. Since that date
$4,000 of the State debt proper
have been pa,d, and the debt at the
date of this report was $40, 400; the
debt over all applicable assets was
SlOS,429 II. The school and uni
versity funds amounted to-bonds,
accrued interest, and coin, $780,
$50 As: currency, $45,545 &C.; total,
1894, $3.50 II.
In the State building fund there is
SCI. $50 80 coin and $3.50 curreneg.
As 100000 is liable to be the out
side limit of any appropriation for
building purposes, the Controller
recommends the reduction of this tax
TO s cents on each 800 OF valuation.
The appropriation of $4,000 to
maintain the State Prison for The past
two years has been exhausted and a
deficiency 1926 incurred. The re-
ceipt. from the prison has been $751;
423 II, and the amount paid out on
account of the industries carried on,
$55,927 81.
A tax of two cents is recommend
ed to help support the State Univer-
sity, as the interest on the bonds IN
that fund is insufficient and the gen.
eral fund should not be buTdened
with objects having special funds.
There is in the State school fund
$1O4, 900 in Nevada State bonds and
$4,000 in U. S. six per cent. bonds,
the interest on which is distributed
semi-annually to the several counties.
The general fund during the two
years has received fiom all sources
$565,l44 IS, and the disbursements
were $544,057 Sc. As the tax on pro-
ceeds of mines is in litigation, and
the receipts from all other sources
were only S356,s93 81 for two years
past, the Controller recommends that
authority be given to borrow $780,
600, il necessary, at not more than {
per cent, one-half to be paid out OF
the general fund January 1, 1878, and
the remainder year later.
Mr.. Hobart argues that, as all non.
producing mines are untaxed, 1t is
certainly just that those in produc'
tive condition should bear some por-
tion of the expense of State and coun'
ty government.
In conclusion, it is stated that if the
tax on proceeds of mines were paid in
as formerly the State tax could be
reduced to rs cents on 500 valua.

cannot be betrayed with levy less
than one dollar.
