The Democratic primaries which were
held in Lyon county last Saturday far
nish another evidence Of the humilia-
ting depths to which politicians will
crawl. in order to gain their ends. The
News has no interest in the Democratic
fight before the convention has definitely
furnished IL with . target. but 1t has q
deep interest in the reputation Of the
State Of Nevada. and II cannot allow
the shams which Was cast upon that
State ON Saturday last in Lyon county
to 20 unnotiesd. Governor Bradley. 1t
10 tolerably we'll known. ID . candidate
for reelection. His antipaihy to third
term extends no further than to . loyal
President Of 4 loyal country. When 1t
10 commended that he and his beard are
unht TO longer luxuriats in the public
pasture. he scouts the insinuation with
the contempt which IL deserves. He Ia
now doing his wi slsctionesring in the
Eastern part OF the State. and IL he can
do the dirty work Of manipulating pu-
mariss as well a. the hsnehmsn whom
he has left to work the counties OF this
section. he will perhaps walk Of with
the nomination despite the protests OF
the respectable element Of his party.
Il was we'll known to Bradley and his
friends that the Democratic voters Of
Silver City were opposed to q renomi-
nation OF the historical beard. and so
confident were the anti. Bradley men
OF an easy victory that many Of them
iook no interest in the primaries, alb
seuted themselves from the polls. and
neglected to vote at all. This was u
grave mistake. and ii Was quietly taken
advantage Of by the enemy. On the
day OF the primaries the Bradlsyitss
moved on Silver City in force. LrKur.
GOVERNOR JkwKrr W. ADAMS. PEIvArk
SECRETARY GARRAnD and MAroR BEL.
kSAr Of Virginia appeared on the streets
and peddlsd the Bradley tickets untilt the
polls closed. They spent money lavishly
and the saloon keepers which they pat
ronizsd say that their aggregate receipts
ON that day were $500 above their usual
business. The facts call for but little
comment. We would simply ask II the
people Of Nevada are content to pay a
Lieutenant Governor for his services as
q ward politician ? II they deem 1t wise
to eIpsnd $500 q year to furnish an
ignorant old blockhsad Of q Governor
with q man Of brains to write his mes
sages. and then allow the brains which
they pay for to DO ussd in the degrading
business Of corrupting voters and buy
ing votes for poor whiskyi II is deep
humiliation to this State. Let US re-
buks IL at the polls as II deserves.

Lucy Stone on WOman's Prog
resS.

Lucy Stone says that, although wom-
en- have not secured the ballot, they
have in her time vastly improved their
condition. She remembers when
woman was thought competent to teach
only the small children in the summer
schools, when her pay for such teaching
was dollar week, and she was ex-
pected to board around. Now women
are professors in colleges, with good
salaries. In four States they vote on
all school matters. Teaching, sewing
and keeping house were the only occu-
pations regarded as suitable for women
Now the census records IL occupations
that are open to women. No woman
was public speaker out of the Quaker
church Now all platforms are free to
them. The lyceum offers to the wom-
an lecturer the same open field that 1t
does to man. The pulpit and the bar
are both occupied by women. The
woman physician did not exist. Now
they have u successful practice in every
large city and many of the smaller
towns There was not a college in the
world that admitted women. Now there
are not only distictively colleges for
women, but a large number that well
come women to all their advantages. 1t
is not many years since married wom-
an could own nothing that she earned;
could not make will of any thing she
possessed; could not sue or be sued;
could not carry on business, had no law
ful right to her children, and could not
even be their guardian; nor had she
the right to her own person. Now, in
most OF the States, ali this IS changed or
very much modified.

extreme. The passengers, who were

TIE ROMANCE OF LAMAITINE'S
MARRIAGE.

The story of the marriage of the great
French poet and statesman is one of TO
mantle interest. The lady. was of an
English family named Birch, and very
wealthy. She first fell in love with the
poet from reading his "Meditations
Poetiques." She was slightly past the
bloom of youth, but still young and fair.
She read and re-read the calculations"
and nursed the tender sentiment in Sc
cret. At length she saw Lamartine in
Geneva, and her love became a part Of
her very life. Not long after this she was
made acquainted with the fact that the
poet was suffering, even to unhappiness,
from the embarrassed state of his Pc
cuniary affairs. Miss Birch was not long
in deciding upon her course. She would
not allow the happiness of a lifetime to
slip from her if she could prevent it, She
wrote to the poet a frank and womanly
letter, acknowledging her deep interest
and profound respect, and offering him
the bulk of her fortune, if he were will
ing to accept it. Of course Lamartine
could not but suspect the truth. Deeply
touched by her generosity, he called
upon her, and found her to be not only
fair to look upon, but woman of a bril-
liant literary and artistic education. He
made an offer of his hand and heart, and
YVES promptly and gladly accepted, and in
after years Alphonse De Lamartine owed
not more to Lis wife's wealth than to
her sustaining love and inspiring e.
| thuSiasm.

THE ABOLITION OF LENT. =

An effort is being made in the Reform,
Episcopal Church to do away with the
observance Of Lent as church fast. At
recent conference of Clergymen of thst
denomination in Philadelphia it was de-
cided to recommend the policy. of aban-
doning the service to the General Stand
ing Committee, on the ground that the
indulgence in worldly pleasures before
and after Lent is increased by way Ct
compensation for enforced abstentit n
during the season of fasting, and upC l
the further ground that uniform moder =
ton of life is the church's ~reat nee :,
and that this may be better secured wit. =

radical one, and will work wider brea'
