PUT AN END TO 1T.

| Numerous complaints have reached this
Office that it is all a lady Gun do to walk up
or down Carson street in the evening, without
being subject to a downright insult from Idle
| loafers who hang about the doors of saloons
and street corners. Ladies passing along the
| street without an escort are leered at la the
most insolent manner, and frequently are
compelled to hear the vile and ungrammaticai
comments made upon their appearance, dress
or walk. The fellows who engage in this
dirty practice, it is unnecessary to say, are no
gentlemen, but principally of the class to which
the vagabond belongs who did not commit sui
eide on Monday evening This thing must be
stopped; respectable gentlemen will not tOler-
ate it any longer. If the police do not see that
an end is put to this vile conduct, some hus-
band or father will come along and club a
half dozen of these impertinent loafers to
death, and the verdict will be that they did
perfectly right, and the only censure they re-
ceive in the matter will be because they did
not annihilate the whole worthless g@ng. 1t
matters not what womans social condition
may be, whether she belongs TO the highest
or the lowest round of the social ladder, she
must be permitted to go along the street in
peace and without being insulted, so long as
she conducts herself properly. In the event
that further well grounded complaints respect
ing this practice reach this office, we shall
most heartily advocate the formation of a tar
and feather brigade, and agitate the question
until it Is organized, to rid the town of the
legion of unprincipled and unmanly male
bipeds which now infest its limits
