In this age of official extravaganza,
when to live fully up to their means and
as far beyond as they will be permitted,
seems to be the aim of most public men,
it is not only relief but positive de-
light, to turn to one who has not been
made 50 dizzy at his elevation to an office
with handsome salary that he needs
must make frantic efforts to spend his
money at once. Henry W. Hilliard,
United States Minister to Brazil, has
drawn down upon himself the condem-
nation of certain class on account of his
plain and economical habits of living,
and the utmost simplicity that pervades
his life, official and private, at Rio
Janeiro. Much stress is laid upon the
fact that his rooms are scantily furnished,
and that he rides in the street cars in
stead of driving in landau behind a
spanking team. The latter ofense is the

A QUICKENED conscience is an unrella-
BILE thing, and open confession, which in
times past was regarded as "good for the
SOUL" proves in many cases recently de-
veloped to be very bad for the soul.
Brooklyn's contributions in this respect
seem to have had the effect of quicken
ing other consciences throughout the
country, until the town or village in
which some conscience has not been
quickened and some self-convicting reve-
lations made, is sIow-going town indeed.
The woman who confessed to barn burn
ing committed several years ago near
GAINESVILLE, O.. and who was proved guilty
and imprisoned on her own evidence, is
now in her second stage of repentance,
and is vigorously circulating a
petition for her pardon. Recently a
woman in Snyder County, Penn, con-
fessed to being an accomplice in the rob-
berry and murder of an aged couple last
winter, and several persons have been
arrested on her accusations as principals.
1t appears that spirit of revenge, more
than repentance, prompted her confes-
sion, and it is quite likely that she will
have an altogether different story before
she gets through. In nearly every case
Of quickened conscience the quickening
motive is something else than pure re-
pentance, and it would probably be well
always to search out this motive and an
alyze it thoroughly before giving too
much credit to the statements it has
prompted.

THE PIONEERS BLOW OUT.

Says the Chronicle of last evening From
present appearances the celebration of the
anniversary of the admission of California
into the Union, on next Tuesday evening by
the Pacific Coast Pioneers at their hall on B
street, will be a grand affair. At a meeting
of the Committee on Preparations, held last
night, it wss reported that Carson City had
been very liberal in contributing provisions
The donations from the Pioneers there having
been four calves, fourteen pigs and sixteen
lambs. The committee have provided 200
pounds of hams, 200 pounds of corned beef,
hundreds of pounds of beans and large guam
titles of pork, besides lighter articles of diet.
The literary exercises will be opened with an
address by R. H. Taylor, which will be fol-
low by speeches by other members, inter
spersed with the singing of Pioneer songs.
Several well known vocalists have rendered
their services, and Miss Felicia Genesa will
recite Tom Fitch's famous apostrophe to the
Pioneer. The Emmett Guard have volunteered
their services in furnishing instrumental
music for the occasion.

Yesterday was a grand field day on the
ComstOck. On one side of the Democratic
parade ground were drawn up the Bradleriau
hosts, full of the FIRE of war on the opposite
stood the serried legions of Reynard the Fox.
In good time the trumpets sounded forth the
charge. The eager warriors sprang to the

three termers it was the man who butchers
the lowing herd and hangs their pelts upon
the fence of the slaughter yard, against the
man of beeves and sheep and swine. Again
we are somewhat fgurative. Time and terms
demand plain facts. The struggle was be-
tween Governor Bradley and ex-senator L.
T. Fox of Gold Hill. The prize was the ma
iority of the Convention which is to name the
delegates to the Democratic State Convention.
The result is Bradleys signal defeat. He
loses thirty five votes in the State Convention.
The loss is most serious one. 1t will prob
a0ly cause MS ueIeat. Inc Hallu Ol IFOfl-
dence is in this. Likewise that of the one
termers. Likewise that of the two termers
Fox is at this writing cock of the walk There
is no doubt of coalition between him and

to look as if they would succeed in doing so.

HITLER AND YON.

Some days ago there was no little hope and
hilarity observable in the demeanor of the
| Hagermanish Democrat Meantime, there
was a self contained strength and trust in the
gods which preside over primary elections,
perceivable in the average Bradlerian. AS to
the stalwart Broadhorns himself, he has
maintained his stout habit and his ,unswerv-
ing complacency. His motto seems to be,
se,ael abbas, sertper GbbGS-once Governor,
always Governor. AS if waiting for the news
of battle were the expectant masses of the
rank and file. These watched while others
fought--the battle raging in the clouds, as at
Lookout, as it were it caused variety in
the general stockish drift; and men forgot
their gamblings, their losses and their paper
gains, for while. AS in the narrative of the
