The wheat buyers along the Upper
Sacramento have a wholesale way of job
Ting wheat. The Stockton Herald says
it is piled up along the panks of the river
in immense piles, farmers whole crop
OF from one to twenty thousand sacks in
pile. and to weigh it out to the buyers
would be tedious process and altogether
too slow for these times. Therefore the
buyer and seller weigh out hundred
bags, or until both are satisfied that q
fair average ia struck and the weight of a
single bag is ascertained. The weight of
he whole lot ID then figured out and the
bargain is struck. This method ideal
ing is said TO be satisfactory to all con-
cerned. but it will hardly obtain here.

The Reno Journal says the Legislature
ought never to have abolished the Office
Of State Printer. What ought to have
been done, says the Journal, was to re-
duce the fees about 40 per cent, and
one Of the first duties of the coming
Legislature il to re-establish the Office OF
State Printer, and fix the fees at such
figures as will permit Of reasonable
compensation. There is no question but
what Croker & Co., or Bacon, or Ban
croft, or some other large firm Of San
Francisco, will secure the contract Of do
ing the State work for the next few
years. Our printing goes to California.

are taking away from our own citizens

We intend to pursue, if We are to con-

MAKE GOOD NOMINATIONS

The Virginia Footlisht says the ne.
esssity Of nominating good men for the
various offices to be filled at the ensuing
election ought to be apparent to every
weli.wisher Of our State. Perhaps never
before in the history of Nevada has this
necessity been greater. In order to in
sure SUCCESS at the polls il will not be
sufficient to say that this man is Demo
orat, or that man is Republican. The
people are tired Of eleoting men to Office
simply because of party names and party
proolivities. or because the nominees are
put forward and endorsed by little
clique of mutual admirationists. Voters
demand that the candidates shall have.
and deserve, the respect and confidence
OF the people. An unbiased man can.
not mistake the feeling which pervades
the community ON this matter. Party
ties never set lighter upon this people.
than they do to-day. The politics of no
man will be sufficient to insure his
election. He must be better man than
his opponent, or he will have to 60 to
the wall. There are hundreds OF voters
in Nevada who are not in close gym
pathy With either political organization,
who will vote for the best man placed be-
fore them regardless Of party names
Let the nominating conventions then sec
that their parties are represented by
their best men. men whom the people
know to be honest, aud capable of per-
forming the duties Of the Office to which
they aspire, with credit to themselves
and to the party which places them in
nomination. Let the voters remember
that, it is as much their duty to insist
that the party nominees shall be worthy
Of their support. as it is to support tho
ticket whom placed before them.
