RATHER IMPRACTICARLE.

Discussing the proposition made by the
Enterprise relative to the manner of selecting
the Republican candidate for Governor, the
Reno Gazette of Friday evening says. -.
The Enterprise published yesterday a
doubleshotted editorial, with side-lights
which WAS intended to say that the Repubh-
'can party must nominate the peoples choice
tins year. This assertion, although luminous
like political headlight, does not require
freight train full of argument to ,,ck it up,
and hence may be adm -t.' We will say,
then, that the Repub, -}ty can avoid
defeat by nominating thel. len, and not
Othel wise.
The method proposed by the Enterprise,
however is not quite so simple or easy of ad
mission. 1t is known as the Crawford plan,
and provides that each voter shall, at the pri
maries give his choice for Governor on the
SAME ballot with that voted for delegates. 1t
will be remembered that we seek to nominate
the best men, and it might well be asked
how do the people know. as yet, who may be
the best man. There has been no declara-
ton Of opinion or inteut on the part Of any
candidate. IN fact, such declaration has
been studiously evaded. We have not vet
seen whether the friends Of these candidates
will favor or oppose declaration of princi-
pies in convention which shall meet the pub
lie wish. We know nothing, in short. which
might influence wise choice, when, we re
fleet that there are local questions to he an
swered. and local interests to preserve.
Il iii readily be seen, then, that such a
choice might easily prove unfortunate for the
party. 1t would not bring about a har
moniuus feeling, because different counties
would make different choice, and under
direct instruction from the people, what del
egation could be asked to give way. Such Il
plan would also make the delegation entirely
subservient to the wishes OF its candidate,
which is not at all desirable.
Besides all these objections va would
urIe that of inprac5icabIlitv, The plan has
been tried and found wanting. The Enter
prise suGgcsts writing the names. upon the
theory that Democrats cant write. Fhis is
as ingenious as the Crawford plan. but
scarcely less practical We incline to the
bchef that the Enterprise intends only the
best for the Republican party, but has mus
taken the method sadly. -.
How will this do! Encourage the greatest
freedom among voters, and ASK theIa to
choose tor delegates the very best members
of their party. ALLOW these men to visit the
compare the records and plat
forms approved by the various candidates,
and then choose. Such Il choice viii come
trout ne people, ana they viii he ii. active

THOMAS T.. ENIHON.

In yesterdays Reno Jour"ai we have the
following mention OF the famous inventor
whose name heads this article:
Yesterday mornings delayed train going
West had among Its passengers the man who
has III a few brief months made a world wide
reputation Thomas A. Edison. of Menlo
Park. Y. j. Although his name is grouped
with those of Morse. Franklin, Fulton
" ats and other noted inventors, Mr. Edison
is a very ordinary looking man. In tact he
is almost the last man one would pick out in a
crowd as the great inventor. With smooth,
full face, and hair just turning gray, COM
mon suit and an easy going air, he appeared
on our streets, seeing the sights visiting the
telegraph offices and conversng with few
tie was at Denver when the total eclipse
of the sun occurred, and tested his. invention
for measuring the heat of the sun. 1t failed,
but he is confident he can make it work, and
is now studying it up. He is an enthusiast,
and claims yet more wonderful strides To be
made In his peculiar field Of invention. Great
as have been his inventions, he says they are
far from perfect, and when he gets back to
his workshop he Will improve on them. He
claims almost hmitless capabilities for carbon;
and will use it rs cardinal principal in ex-
perimenting He will be in Oregon when
the moon is eclipsed, on the 18th, and will
there test his heat-measurer upon that orb
Mr., Edison is making his first trip to this
coast, and will visit the various points of in
terost The Big Trees, Yosemite, Geysers,
etc, This trip is merely one of pleasure,
desire to get away from the hard study and
worry to which he has subjected himself for
many years prompting it. He intended to
stop here day for the purpose of seeing
Frank Bell i'll relation to the introduction of
his various ''phones on this division of the !
Western Union line, but Mr., Bell, being |
West on business, informed HIM by telegraph |
of his whereabouts, and the distinguished |
gentleman continued on his trip, He has |
taken ont one hundred and sixty patents, and
has several others under way. Owing to his
deafness it is rather hard to converse with
lm. As the train pulled out he sat himself
IN a camp stool on the front platform of the
deeper and prepared to enjoy the beautiful
scenery Of the Sierras, the delay causing the
rain to pass over the best part of the road in
he day time.

CRICKErs IN HUMBOLDr. Says the Reno
Govette of Thursday:
Through a gentleman who lately returned
from Paradise Valley and made an inspec-
ton of other points in that region, We learn
that cricket, If great size have invaded the
country in swarns In Glover Valley, Hum
holdt County, the garden crops have been en-
tirely destroyed. The pest has also attacked
the grain crops, but coming too late for the
wheat much of it has been saved. The bar
ley crop has suffered, however, to a consider
able extent. In Paradise Valley, where the
crops are large the crickets are not so nu
merous or destructive The Indian scare is
at an end in Humboldt and Elko Counties.
Many of tho wandering redskins have al
ready returned to the reservations, and soon
