The sn,ary min.

. 1t is suggested By the RsVsilis that
at would he good idea for delegations
to the Legislature. from each county,
in the State, to get together between
now and January aud carefully consider
the Salary bill, SO Tar as concerns their
respective counties. There may be
changes needed. II there are, members
will go TO Carson prepared to nsk for
what changes they may deem neces-
ssry." .....s ..s -
1t is undoubtedly true that many
gross discrepancies are To DO found in
the present Salsry Law, but it is doubt
full whether any reform should be at
tempted by the Legislature ue1tNNinter.
The system OF salarird Offices is new ~
Nevada, though nm old one in most Of
the States. 1t is an undoubtei improve
mont upon the old fee System 30, far as
most Of the conuty officers are con-
cerued, although it may not provo eff
fectiSe i'll all. Having started in to give
the Salary plan a trial, We are of the
opinion that we should give it a fair
test. and leave the present Law alone
until it has been tried for at least one
term. We will know better how it
works two years froth now. aud just
what remedies should be applied. il any
are required. AS for the officers to be
inAusur-ted on the first Monday of jan
.uaTy next, they were ELECTED with the
distinct understanding that their COM
pensntion was fixed for their terms, and
of course, no attempt should be made
to effect them. Any present change of
the statute effscting officers to bo cho.
sen in 1882, or thereafter, shouli be de-
ferred until We can form n more accur.
ate idea'of the workings of the law. aud
the proper adjustment to be mhde under

"SNAKES."

The snake which figured SO con-
spicuously in the drama of Eden was
mischievous fellow, but he was in
dispensable to the performance.
Without him we would have had no
"fall of man" and, possibly, no suc-
ceeding humanity. Unconsoiously,
therefore, he did a stupsndous work,
and, strangely enough, work which
it seems only snake could do.
