NO r SESSION.

Governor Bradley will not call an
extra session OF the Legislature. and he
explains his reasons in a long letter to
the Enterprise. 1t is u letter filled with
figures. and, although somewhat bitter
in its tone toward mine-owners. will
convince the majority Of our citizens
that Governor Bradley is right on the
main proposition aud Comptroller Ho-
bart wrong. The superfiuity Of money
in the State Treasury is, after all. only
apparent and not real. II the General
Fund paid its debt to the Building Fund.
as the Governor co~nclusively proves. \
very small surplus would remain mot
enough TO pay the $40. 600 which an
extra session would cost. and the ordi-
nary expenses Of the State Government
for the year. How Mr.. Hobart was
mislsd in his estimates will probably
forever be q mystery. That Governor
Bradlsy's estimates are sound and based
on established facts. no one will deny.
The borrowing Of $4,000 from the
Building Fund last year, and transierr-
ing il to the General Fund. not only
without authority Of law. but in open
defiance OF the constitution. was m act
which Governor Bradley should not
have sanctioned under any circum-
stances. II is amusing to see the cool
manner in which he first states the fact,
and that the misappropria-
ton Of the Fund was done under his
authority. and then. farther on. refers
to IL As y robbery" The intention Of
this diversion OF appropriated money
was undoubtedly good. but the Cover
nor OF a State has no right to violate
the laws which he is sworn to see exc
cuted in good faith. The uncalled-for
confession. however. completely exon
crates Governor Bradley from any
wrong motive. and we are only too glad
to record Il.
The Governors letter has settled the
question Of an extra session, and utterly
routed Comptroller Hobart from his po-
sition. It is the most convincing State
paper that has yet emanated from Mr..
Bradley. In this instance. at least. he
has proved to DO truly economical. in
stead Of parsimonious. and the people Of
Nevada will eventually thank him for
his action.

QUICK WORK.
The FASTEST Locomotive builder la

titiou.

Lately in jackson. Michigan. at the
engine works OF the Michigan Central
Railway. a competition took place be-
tween two gangs Of workmen, as to
which could the soonest put . locomo-
tive together and send her out Of the
shop In running order. Heretofore the
usual time for doing this work. with =
gang OF five or six men, in the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, Of Philadelphia,
has been from nine days to two weeks.
When. therefore, the fact was published
that the sams feat had been accomplish.
cd ut Jackson by Robert Stewart. with
fourteen men, In twenty-five hours, and
by Walter Ellington with his gang In
sixteen and ons.half hours, the ell
gine builders Of the United States
were loud in their expression OF disbelief.
This piqued the Jackson men and they
determined TO transcend all previous
efforts. Accordingly on November 10.
the parts Of the two new locomotives.
which had never been placed together.
were collected. while on two trucks were
the boilers. As the clock struck seven.
two gangs OF fourteen each. one CON-
mandsd by Robert Stewart, and the
other by Walter Ellington, sprang to
their work. The boilers were raised by
jacks ON the massive frames, the driv-
ing-wheels scared In their places. the
cylinders. valves, link.motion connect.

proper places. The fires already lighted
convert into steam the water run in
shortly after the start. Edington's gang
beats the other about q minute In
the finishing touches. The engineer,
standing in his place. blows the whistle.
turns on the steam. the driving. wheels

the yard. A few seconds later the other.
with q shrill clarion whistle, follows its
completed companion. The spectators.
two hundred in number. who watched
every detail OF the work with breathlsss
interest. break into q cheer. TO which
the grimy workmsn, drsnchcd in por-
SEPARATION. give hearty echo. Two hours
and ffty-fvs minutes is the record from
fifty watches. and the Jackson shops
and workmen are covered with q blaze
OF glory. The two engines were attach.
ed to an excursion train. filled with sm.
ployes. and the sxultant crew went to
Detroit. Each engine made the trip Of

a nOUElE PRESS,

The New York Tribune has one OF Hoes
improved double presses which prints two
sheets at cnce from roll one sheet wide.
1t thus describes the contriyance, or rather
what il does:
The great and distinguishing peculiarly OF
this press IS that il is in all respects, except
ing size, a double press, and that ii prints
two Tribune sheets from roll one sheet wide.
Ia other words, the same roll OF paper can he
used lndifeIeptly, either on the single or
double press. On the one, single sheets are
printed from il on the other, double sheets.
A year ago this would haze been considered
impossible. Even yet most pressmen are I'M
able TO see how it can be done, and II requires
a rather elaborate explanation of the new
method of impo siug the plates, splitting The
sheet and doubling the impressions from
one-half the plates over those from the other
half, TO make IL Ineligible. The striking fact
remains, however, that the double press &C.
cupies precisely the same space and has pre-
cisely the same width and the same height
as the single press, and that 1t prints two
sheets at once from roll one sheet wide.

VALIDITY OF MARKET OKDI.

City of Lsavenworth Appeal from
David AIchison. Police Court
CRoZIER, 1.-The defendant was prose-
cuted before the Police Judge for viola.
ton OF the second section of ordinance No.
962, which undertakes to prohibit, un-
der penalty, the owners OF scales from
weighing for hire, commodities not pur-
chased or sold by them; and the question
presented to me is, whether the section
mentioned is valid?
The act OF the Legislature concerning
cities of the first class, authorizes the City
Council to regulate markets." and pro-
vides for Market Master whose duties are
to be prescribed by ordinance.
Under this authority the Council
ordained that no commodity, disposable by
weight, should be offered for sale without
having been frst weighed by the City
Weigher, upon the city scales. i have no
doubt that this provision of the ordinance
il. valid; but the attempted prohibition OF
the use, in itself innocent, of the property
of q citizen and a reasonable charge there
for, is not one of the incidental powers Of
a municipal corporation. Whether such
power could be conferred by direc; legisla-
tive enactment is not the question here, no
such provision appearing in the statute.
ANY person offering for sale the commo-
ordinance, without having them pre-
viously weighed upon the city scales,
subjects himself to a penalty, and it will
be no defence to show that they were weigh

FOR GOVERNOR.

Mr. crawford called to see us last week, and
IL, tho course of our conversation with him
,,a ,sl,e,, him if we might not name him as
candidate for Governor, telling him that an
.our humble opinion he would receive a large
and enthusiastic support throughout the
state, especially from the newspapers, and
would stand very good chance, without any
effort on his part, OF receiving the nominal
tion. He thanked us, but stated distinctly,
and pointedly, that he was entirely out of
politics, and intended TO remain so ; and that
he could not allow his name to be used In
that connection, under any circumstances
whateyer.-W ydldotte Gdzette.
We are well aware Of the fact that Mr..
Crawford has said, to all who have asked
him, that he is not and does not intend to be
candidate. But that is not the question:
The people Of Kansas know George A.
Crawford they know that there are very
few men in Kansas who have done as
much as he to advance the interests OF the
State, and il, in consideration Of his past
services and his present ability, they see ut
to nominate him for Governor, Ii VIII be
his duty to accept-and "little George" has
never vet been known to shirk his duty.
There is very general feeling that Kansas
would honor herself in electing him.
