The business of Congress stands about like
this All three of the new appropriation bills
have been passed by the House. The Legis-
lative bill has passed the Senate with some
immaterial amendments but it is so bung-
ling in its provisions that it is doubtful wheth-
err its meaning can be correctly made out by
the government officers. The Little Judicial
bill has passed the Senate, but it contains ri
ders which will ensure its veto by the Presi-
dent. The Army bill is before the Senate
committee The time for adjournment has
not yet been definitely fixed upon.

WHAT OUGHT TO BE DONE.

The State of Nevada has population
of abont fifty thousand including Piutes
aud Cinnamon This number of ia.
habitauts would scarcely be considered
sufficient. if they were all collected to

city government 10 the States east Of
the Mississippi Here, however the
case is different. Thew are entitled 70

CONGRESS. full quota Of State Officers.
and bienuial sessions of the Legislature.
The government of these so 900 people
cost the taxpayers of the State about
$l.60O. 900 year The greater part OF
this amount is expended for county
governments. the average expense of
the State government being about
$350.O00 annually. The Legislature,
which convenes every two years. costs
the State not less than $50. OsO per ses-
sion. Dearly two dollars per cabita for
every man. woman and child, of every
race and color in the State For this
outlay the taxpayers receive no ade
quate return. The people wonld be
just "a happy, and life and property
would be jnst as secure if every Act en-
acted by the Legislature which ad.
journed on Thursday night should never
be entered 10 the statutes of Nevada.
A biennial session of the Legislature is
~ unnecessary as it is expensive. and
the luxury ought to be dispensed with
until the population and development of
the resources of the State render it
necessary. The election of United
States Senators is the only real necessity
for converting the Legislature every
two years, and a movement was made
IN the session just expired TO have them
elected directly by the people. This
ought to be done and the constitution
amended so that the Legislature should
not convene oftener than once In four
years. and theo only for thirty days.
exclusive Of Sundays. There is no
good reason why the people shDuld
have to pay $50. 900 bienuially to afford
opportunity to lot of rasc'liy political
BURNERS to dispose of their votes to
the high at bidder and sink thems ives
30 the lowest depths of infamy by
violating pledges aud promises given to
demand that the laws be changed so
shat United States Senators shall be
