GRAIN AND ORE.

l.
| Under the present system of mining in Ne
vada the man who owns ledge cannot make
| its resources available unless he has suf1iciea:
money to erect mill adds AGENT to his proper
ty. Now, suppose that every farmer who
had ten acres Of wheat had to erect $780,
600 -four mill to grind his grain. Only the
capitalists could raise wheat at profit. The
man with 10000 acres and flour mill would
prosper, and the poor farmer would 60 to the
wall. This is the reason why to-day the
small miners of Nevada are eaten up by the
big ones. There is but one practical solution
of this problem, the erection of reduction
works in this State, where man with rock
can exchange his rock for cash, just the same
as farmer can exchange grain for coin,
without being obliged to make it into -four at
his own expense. The plan now under con-
sideration in this city would lift mining in
Nevada out of the slough of speculation and
give every man with pick and shovel and
good muscle a chance to wrest a competency
from every hill that rises in this State. No one
will dispute the proposition that ten per cent
Of the Money swept away from the pockets Of
tho citizens of Carson by stock speculations
would erect reduction works capable of giving
direct employment to 500 men. We need no
longer be robbed by thieving brokers and
manipulators, with their pools and their
points and their prepostsrous interest. Let
every man join in this project and help get
the plan into such shape that the people can
invest anderstandingly. There is no time to
lose, as both Virginia City and Reno are
studying the same proposition.
A DELUGE OF NAsr1NEss --Bernhardt IS
said to be more than disguised with her re-
ception in America. She is unable to pick
up a New York paper without seeing some
disgusting representation of herself in tig hts.
Wagons mounted by transparencies drive up
and down Broadway announcing "Bernhardt's
amours, with indecent pictures of the actress.
Several filthy books, profusely illustrated,
have already been issued, purporting to give
history of Bernhardt's life, written by the
mercenery penny-a-liners who hang about the
publication Offices of New York. The air is
black with the vile brood of harpies focking
to tear the flesh of Bernhardt. She has
ceme to America simply as an actress, and
has done nothing while here to warrant the
avalanche of muck that has fallen upon her
American actresses have visited Paris, whose
social regulations were of the worst and
whose genius did not compare with Bern
hardts, yet they were treated with the meas
ure of courtesy by the Partisan public which
their position in the profession demanded. The
best society of England, acknowledging Bern
hardts genius, opened its doors to her; in
America she has been treated like common
street-walker by the same class of people who
have kissed the feet Of theatrical mediscrity
in New York for years, and focked to praise
and pet actresses who drive four-i n-hands |
through Central Park and cover their persons
with diamonds on salaries of $50 and $50 |
week. France will get good opinion of |
the boorishness of Americans when Bernhard |
publishes her diary.
LINCoLN's WIDow.--The A,q0aaHt does no |
believe in a subscription to contribute $780, |
OUU 10 Ueu UFauI, Uut suggests u pcllSiou W |
the widow of Abraham Lincoln. This is an
excellent suggestion and there is no doubt |
that if the citizens Of America were allowed
to contribute to this project more than $780,
900 could be raised by ten cent subscriptions.
There is no denying Grants distinguished
services to his country, bat he is man in the
full strength of physical and mental health
and abundantly able to provide for himself.
The suggestion of contribution is an in
suit. Lincoln's widow is now an almost for.
gotten woman, living in poverty. 1t is dis
grace to the nation that the relict of the
greatest man that ever grasped the reins of its
government should be allowed to live in pov-
srty. But for his strength of character, his
energy and strong hope in the
future there might have been no
nation left for Grant to govern.
