Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-05-23

Tar MINT ALL RIoHr.-All doubts con
corning the retention of he u. S. Mint il
this city are now set at rest. A Washington
dispatch of the 21st is as follows The Legis
lative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation
bill, which passed the State to-day, contains
very few changes in a.. tic Coast items The
| Mint appropriations heretofore reported are
not changed, the total for San Francisco be-
ing the large sum of 1869 900; for Carson City,
the full amount Of the Department estimates.
The final retention Of this liberal provision
for the Carson Mint is specially Noteworthy,
and will set at rest all apprehension of re-
moval or aband' :ent of that institution.
The victory for t Mint is due largely to the
determined Efforts Of Jones and D.ggett, who
worked like beavers for the ms tuition when
it appeared FROM Sherman's course that it was
in actual danger. Sharon also did his share in
the matter by staying away and not meddlins
with it.
To DEL1NoUENrs - We have received
scores of letters during the last few DAYS from
subscribers outside of Carson asking why they
have not received cartoons. About ,wo- thirds
of ths e letters come from su bscribers mo
in. cas-. The cartoons are thrown In gratult-
ously aud are for paid up sub,cri ptions only.
So far only the regular .'ty subscribers ana
the exchanges hav been furn.~ red and in no
c.se are delinqnents or >.atslde subscribers
tour of our art llery. When our arrange
ments are NOR. complets We expect te fur
uish all of our sunscslb crs in Carson and out
with weekly cartoons Excepting, Of Course,
the dellnqnrh;>.l. Thus in order to be So
one must either pay up &C live in Carson.
Nor A REvoLUTIoNIsr.-Notl long ago the
APPEAL intimated that D. E. Mccarthy, of
the Chronicle, had really inaugurated a revo-
luton in Mexico, as the day he reached Guy
mas tie government called out 900 troops
Later advices from the front informs us tina,
the soldiers were not ordered into the field On
account IF any revolutionary procIivlties of
the gallant Irish patriot, but simply as hint
that ne mus. Cease his favorite rendering of
" Hamlet's' Soliloquy and stop singing airs
from Pirafore We trust that the apper: auce
Of regiment of det> mined men in front o.
Macs ranch will appeal to that accommodate
ing spirit which always marks his course in
life, and that there will be no need of actual
bloodshed. ...-
THE BAND-Carsur can now boast of an |
excellent band. 1t is in . remarkably we'll |
10 the big bass drum Knows no slurripg of
hating notes. A brass band is frequently the
;arget of considerable fun in a small town but
,uch an institution is the soul of place and
10 city amounts to anything without its band.
Even a poor band is better than none All
his is a good one, as 3, cry one admits 1t
night perhaps sweat a little in tackling one Of
WAgner's operas, but for good solid patriotic
music Or stirring marches popular airs it
akss no second place. 49, .....

x Sheriff Swift and settled on the spot where
e breathed his last yesterday aged IS years.
1e leaves wife and six children to mourn :
is loss, beside many friends all over
he coast. He will be buried from his resi-
ence at 2 o'clc.-
