nonucement made through the papers,
the Nail CITY Boat Club inaugurated LAST
evening q series Of entertainments % DO
given during the summer season. They
are intended to be informal gatherings Of
the members, their families and friends
for social enjoyment. No invitations are
cent out, but all who choose and who will
behave themselves are free 10 attend and
enjoy good music and a general good
time socially.
THE CLUB HOUSE,
The dimensions Of the building and
general construction have been noted at
length in our columns heretotore, and we
will not 20 over the ground again.
Suffice il 10 say, that il ia a very neat
and commodious building OF two stories,
located on the bank Of the river n short
distance north Of the Riverside mills.
The basement is used for storing away the
bOats, OF which the club now have five,
four single and one four.oared, together
with all the paraphernalia belonging
thereto. The upper story is divided into
two apartments, the larger Of which Is
designed to be used for full meetings Of
the club, for concerts such as were init.
ated last evening and other social enter.
tainments. The smaller apartment Is
neatly carpeted, contains library which
Ia being we'll stored with choice books,
connected not only with sporting matters,
but historical and literary as well. Over
the door Is the motto Friendship, Love
and Truth. The walls Of both rooms are
garnished with well chosen paintings and
ohromos, representing aquatic and other
sports; also several representation Of
noted American scenery.
Altogether it seems to be designed as
a coy, homelike place, where the mem

observation that neither of these theories could
be supported and the apple remained to me an
enigma and a mystery.
One day, walking in garden, | saw il all
There, on a tree, was aphial tied, and within il
tiny apple, which was growing within the
crystal. The apple was put IN the bottle while

SACrs AGAINST PRELUDIcEs

Now that the campaign is fairly
opened and stump speakers are can
vassipg the State, the partizan preju.
dices of the people, which have been,
dormant since the Presidential election,
are getting aroused. With many we'll
meaning persons the party names,
Democrats and Republicans, embrace
everything that is good or bad, accord.
ing to the predictions Of the inaivid-
saL while in reality not only in Nevada,
but throughout the country. these party
names are almost as meaningless as il
is possible for them to be, for the
simple reason that the two great parties,
are not divided on any issues of great
Importance to the nation. Ia the East
Democrats and Gresnbackers are
aoalescing 10 some States. while Be.
pnbticanso and Greenbackers unite in
other States. The financial question is
the only national issue in the Atlantic
States, and As both parties in this State
have declared FOR "hard money" that is
not an issue between the parties in
Nevada. Under these circumstances.
people should not Let their prejndices
aserride theic reason. The issue in
Nevada Is between the people and the

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Attention is directed to the sugges.
hon OF ''Wsnderer'' in another
column. Notwithstanding the gentle.
man has been driven from the
Sepublican party for his Democratic
Rroclivitiss and refused admission to
the Democratic ranks because of his
Republican procliyities. his "head is
level" on the subject which he dis.
ousses. AS heretofore stated 10 these
aolumns. It is gross Injustice to the
people of Nevada, who are taxed for its
support, to keep the asylum for the
insane 10 California. The State of
Nevada is now in q condition to build
an asylum within the State, where the
taxpayers may derive some benefit from
it by supplying it with the products of
the State instead of paying to Cali.
fOrnia contractors thousands of dollars
annually. not one cent of which ever
finds its way back to.the pockets of the
taxpayers. The State Treasury is said
to be overlooking with coin. If such
is the fact. portion of it connot be APP
piled to better use than erecting an
asylum for the unfOrtunates who are
hereft of reason. That Paradise valley,
as stated by our correspondent, offers
anequailea inducements as the site for
such an institution cannot be doubted.
Ii is blessed with good climate and
abundance of pure mountain water. Its.
soil produces the finest grain and vege-.
sabes. and it is.eentrally located. CAM
sidates foE legislative offices from this.
sennty should bear these facts in mind,
