L. bubbling and boiling 10 other part
OF the state to fearful extent. 4
windy war OF words, alleged faoss an

the compDsitors on the state paper
to keep the words already set up, o.

reminded of the saying: This is 8

that seems to be the game the paper
OF both political parties are playing,
only they call it by a different name.
The charges of perjury. bribery, and
roguery OF every description are used
with such frequency and force, that
one is at a loss whether to believe
there are any honest men left in tue
world or not. The last conclusion
would be the most natural, under the
circumstance. As the days for the
county conventions draw near, we
may expect to see the fight grow
hotter still, providing all the ammu-
milton is not used up in the present
preliminary skirmishing. There is

that I saw ain editorial squib in a
state Journal which said the editor of

editorial columns as he had to take
advertisements. There is a great
deal of fuss made oyer nothing. The
average Nevada editor is lashing
himaelf into q white heat over some
thing that all his editorials, no mat

little effect upon. ANY person who

IT'S MISTAKEN IDEA
That John Chinaman cannot be
brought up to level with white men.
Persons who claim to have made
study OF the matter have freely as
serted that he cannot; aud that seems
to be the general belief. But l have
one or two instances which go to
prove that John is capable OF at
least learning the habits and customs
of the white man. All of the cooks
in this place are from the Flowery
Kingdom, and they speak very good
"pigeon English" The other day,
a lady who keeps restaurant, get.
ting tired of having her copper
colored cook amusing himself while
breakfast should have been prepared,
undertook to demonstrate with him.
She gave him some motherly advice,
but be answered not, while the look
out of his almond eyes seemed to in
dictate deep penitence. At last, de-
spaiIiug OF getting reply from him,
she said: "You no ssvee what l say?"
This question thawed the heatben
out, and be answered in g manner

"Yes, me savee; savee you heap

settled the debate.

asked where the money would come
from, be motioned over his shoulder
towards the money drawer OF the
establishment, sud there was a
merry twinkle in his eye as he said:
"Me cstchee him, tOo-there. Heap

are not capable of utilization and
that they cannot be raised to the
standard occupied by the Christian?
10! THE POOR INDIAN"
Is quite numerous here also; and he
is much different from the repre-
sentative OF his race cut your way.

A great many of the "lords" OF the
tribe sit around the saloon doors, or
lounge on The dry goods boxes in front
of the stores, "allee same white
man." and appear to enjoy them
selves very well in that manner. The
fasnion at present in vogue among
them is overalls and long linen
busters, and red paint on their cheeks
while light stiff felt hat adorns the
dome OF thought.
THE RAILROAD TRACK
Mentioned in my last is now com

at Clifton to the Manhattan Mill, AMI
six large mules. hitched TANDEM
style, are used TO draw up freigh
from the first mentioned point to To,
latter. The grade is very steep, aver
aging seven feet to the hundred, nj
the loaded cars come up slowly, bu
the empty ones go down with
rush and noise.
UTAH EXPORTS
