thinks there is force in Librarian Spofford'S
representation that 1T scarcely becomes a
government representing 4 nation of such
wealth, intelligence and power. to treat the
assembled stores of literature and art of the
country, which its own laws have caused to be
gathered at the capital and thrown open to

APPRECIATIvE FRENCHMEN.
The American Public School Sys.
tenn to be Adopted in France.

A French Commission has been
visiting this country to examine our
public school system, with a view of
modelling their own after it. 1t is a
high compliment to its merits that
the commission reports favorably for
adopting our school system as the
model for introducing popular edu.
cation in France. That country, un-
der the new dispensation, feels the
necessity of educating the masses,
which is the surest way to render the
tenure of the Republic enduring. A
love of liberty can only be cultivated
by eplarging the capacity of the
mind to full appreciation of its
blessings, and multiplication
of schools throughout the nation to
which every child of the poorest
peasant can gain access may be con.
sidered as bulwark that will with
stand and defy all the intrigues and
plottings of royalty. The distinctive
and admirable feature of the Ameri-
can system, in the commission's opin-
ion, is the effort to develop the indi-
viduality of pupils, to strengthen
the judgment so that it may be re-
lied upon, and to cause the children
to think and act for themselves

FOR SECRETARY OF STATE.

We are informed that the name of
John Lothrop, present Recorder and
Auditor of this county, will be placed
before the Democratic Convention for
the nomination for Secretary of State.
Mr.. Lothrop has lived among us for
many years, and is esteemed
throughout the county as an honest
man and conscientious public serv-
ant. At the last election he received
many Republican votes, and was
elected over strong opponent. How
faithfully he has discharged the du-
ties of his office can be ascertained
by glancing over the Grand Jury re-
port published elsewhere in this
issue. His record, public and pri.
vate. is without blemish, and the
most damaging charge that his en-
emies can bring against him is that
he is q Democrat. His name would
therefore add considerable strength
to the Democratic ticket.

on the road leading down the Carson
river requires some attention.
We find the Courthouse and Jail
kept in very fair condition. In the
opinion of the committee the blankets
should be washed and the mattresses
aired and renovated; also, little
whitewashing on the walls Of the
Jail would very materially add to the
purity and cheerfulness of that de-
partment. The guides and stops to
the different windows in the entire
building require fastening, and all
the outside woodwork is very much
in need of painting. We noticed
one defect in the east wall of the
building. Quite number of bricks
are becoming loose, some of which
are almost in condition to fall out.
thereby rendering the Jail unsafe for
the detention of prisoners kept
therein.
We would recommend the con-
struction of high fence between
the schoolhouse and the residence of
Mr.. Barnes; also, some improve
ments in the school buildings, more
particularly, better ventilation in
the smaller room for the comfort and
health of the teacher and pupils of
that department. The water closets
are in bad condition and require
whitewashing, cleansing and puri.

The school rooms in Silver City

An Alleged Thief Said to be Respec-

Charles Patterson, the young man
now confined in the Jail at Dayton
and under indictment for stealing
horse worth ts5o from ]. B. Lynds,
at the Mound House, some weeks
ago, is said to be respectfully con-
nected, his mother living at Liver
more, CAL. and his father being worth
considerable property and enjoying
a good standing in business circles
as a stock-raiser. A California paper
states that shortly after leaving the
Mound House, Charles Patterson
passed forged check for $4OO, and
that his mother redeemed it to save
her son. This is . very likely story,
but as it comes from a California
paper it may have no foundation in
fact. Those California papers lie so.

OFFICIAL EMOLUMENTS IN
STOREY COUNTY.

We are surprised to see such we'll
informed and usually careful journal
as the Call copying and seriously
commenting on paragraph con-
tanned in the LYON COUNTY TIMES
respecting official salaries and emol-
uments in Storey county, Nevada.
That journal, either in a spasm of
mendacity, or with view of getting
on joke, gravely remarked that the
position of District Judge at Vir-
GINA was worth $4,000 year, Sher-
i'll $25, 900, County Clerk 100000,
Assessor $4,000, and so on down to
the constables who were placed at
$4,000 and $4,000 each. Such
Wholesale exaggeration as this no
doubt created smile on the Com
stock, but the Call seems to have ac-
cepted the thing as truth, and preach
es therefrom nice little sermon
against the fee system. The Call
we fear was misunderstanding
very rare for that journals. F.

LETTER FROM THE NORTH END
A HOTEL PROPRIETOR WHO
NEEDS ELEVATING.
A. Crowded Elevator Falls q Dis.
lance Of Twelve Feet-A Plucky
Little Woman Seriously Injured


VIRGINIA, August 2.
DEAR TIMES: The elevator at the
international Hotel has, since the
completion of the building, been
viewed with suspicion and dis
trust by those who have been
consigned to its tender mercies, in
travelling to and from their apart
ments. The fearful rate of speed at
which 1t is always run, makes 1t so
dangerous that those best posted
never travel in it without life in
surance policy in their pocket. 1t
is currently reported that recently
an old gentleman and a young man
entered the elevator to ascend to
their apartments in the upper story.
When they reached their destination
the old man was dead, and the young
one was gray headed. Nor is this
the only danger; its frail structure,
and the light cable to which it is sus-
pended, render it so unsafe that those
familiar with its construction never
travel by it; or, when compelled to
do SO by fatigue, enter it in fear and
trembling, and always make their
will before starting.
The cable has given way several
times, but, up to last Friday eve-
ming, without injury to any one. On
that occasion the elevator was filled
with people who had just returned
from the theater, among them a
number of the Harrigan and Hart
combination, one of whom-Miss
Esther Williams-met with painful
and, it was at one time feared, serious
injuries. However, in spite of the
most excruciating pain, the little
woman bravely played her part as
usual at Saturdays matinee, and
those who witnessed her perform.

courage the heroine was displaying.

She bravely went on, nevertheless.
and finished her part as If nothing
had happened. 1t may be owing to
This fact that we are called upon to
chronicle the following facts: AL
though Miss Williams lay for sew
eral days at the Hotel, suffering from
her injuries, neither the proprietor
nor any of his family went near her
to inquire as to her condition. No
efforts were made for her comfort,
nor did they offer to pay one dollar
toward the expenses incurred through
their quasi. criminal carelessness. 1t

Der Of the company was injured, and
that her injuries were not OF more
serious character; otherwise there
wonld certainly have been suit for
damages. The elevator fell but IL

have been killed: but it is only
question of time when some one will
be seriously If not fatally injured,

OK Saturday a newspaper
writer was assaulted and received a
severe castigation; yesterday another
was twice fred at, but the shootist
was not an expert and the offender
escaped. In both cases, we are in

of the names of ladies with certain
alleged improprieties of their hus-
