Where Was the Smash-Up.

Maybe you think a reporter has no
in obtaining news. 1t is espec
ially hard to get the particulars in a
railroad accident. For example:
hear of a small accident on the
G.. 81 A. We call on Waite, agent,
of this place and very politely ask
him about the reported smash-up.
The interview results about as follows:
LEDGER Mani wish to ascertain
some of the particulars about the re-
cent accident on your road
Waite-"What road!'
l.. M.-"Why, your road?'

1t is wonderful how many great

die in obscurity. We learn that a
very illustrious citizen of this county
received four votes for Prosecuting

surely help him on his road to fame .

ever, d farss the evidence shows, that he
was speaking in'behalfof Tilden as we'll
as for Donnelly. The Statement made by
Springer has ended Donnelly's hopes Of
getting the seat which he claimed,
though it is possible the professional
politician who wrote the letters in bis
interest did so'without his knowledge.
Finley is said to be Tilden's conffden--
tial agent at Washington, and if such is
the fact it will not increase his boom
very materially to keep a man who is
capable of doing such dirty business in
that position. 4"

GAZE OF THE INSANE.

State Treasurer Crockett informs the
Reno Journal that the cost of caring
for the insane for the month of March
~ amounted to 81, All. During the month
one died and one was discharged. The
journal says the expense of conveying
the insane to Stockton is enormous, as
] appears from the bills on file m the
Treasurer's office, and suggests that
newspapers will keep the subject OF,
,R building an asylam I'm Nevada con-
.,stantly before the public. aa
The proposition Of building an asylum
in Nevada was discussed to a consider
able extent two years ago, but when
s the Legislature convened it was thought
best, on the score OF; economy, to farm
the, insane out to, Messrs. Clarke &
Ilangdon, OF Stockton, as has been the.
custom since. she State of Nevada was
organized. Under this system at least
$4,000 year, the greater part OF
which ought to be expended among
-ahome producers who pay taxes, in the
State, is sent to Stockton, to defray the
expenses OF the insane, and not one
AZ cent Of it ever finds it's way back to
Nevada. This is a gross oatrage upon
the people of this State, who'are taxed
to maintain the asylum. There is
plenty of time before the election of the
next Legislature to discuss the question
of building lunatic asylum at home.
One great obstacle in the way is the ex-
pense Of erecting suitable building,
and another the disposition manifested
by Carson and Reno to permit no State
institution to be erected east of the
Truckee. An eligible site IN a healshy
: climate, where -four, vegetables and
meats can be furnished at less cost than
IN the western part of the State, can
= be procured in this county; and If the
asylum is built, it should be located as
far east as Lovelock, on the Humboldt
river, where land is cheap and capable
of producing all the grain and vegeta-
bles necessary for the support of the
insane at less cost than any Other CEN
trail point in the State.
