How To Write FOR rHE PAPERS. -
The Boston Pest hits the nail ON the
head when il says: Communications
should be brief. and there are several
reasons for this. In the first place.
newspaper space is valuable. The mod
crn newspaper is never troubled with
the old-timc complaint of needing some
thing to fill up. The editors scalpel is
constantly reeking from the slaughter of
live news matter and interesting miscel-
lany. Short communications are much
more likely to find readers than long
ones are, and unless they are to be read
il is much better not To publish them.
More contributions can be represented
where the articles are short than when
they are long, and one man has as strong
a claim upon the columns rs another,
providing he furnishes as interesting
matter. A short article is usually more
pithy and pointed than n long one
That prince of journalists, the late Sam'l
Bowlcs, once apologized for long ed
itorial, and gave as his excuse lack Of
time to write a short one. He express
cd an important truth in his usual
epigrammatic way.

DUBLIN, November 26.-Captain Bea-
mish, a magistrate Of County Cork, has
written a letter to Mr.. Forster, stating that
he has received threatening letters, and has
therefore sought the protection Of the po-
lice. His object in writing to Forster, he
says, is that if his death should be added
to those of other landlords who have been
murdered since the present Government
came into power, it cannot be pleaded that
it was either justiiable or took place be-
cause Government protection was not
called for in time.

A srALwARr OPINION.

The Gold Hill News is a stalwart
organ-the stalwart of the stalwarts in
fact. Il is sometimes honest, neverthe-
less. 1t had just such a streak on when
it published the following in its issue Of
Friday, under the head of "~nonsensical:"
"The idea that the seat of j. G. Fair
as United States Senator of Nevada will
be contested on the grounds of bribery
and corruption is all nonsense. He no
doubt assisted very materially in the
financial conduct of the campaign, for
all Of which the Democracy are truly
grateful. 1t was perfectly right and
legitimate that he should do so, and no
one can deny that he would make a most
worthy and creditable representative Of
this State and an able advocate of its
most vital interests. Stewart, Nye,
Jones and Sharon all assisted financially
in making their respective fights.
Their seats were not contested, and
neither should Fairs be. And it will

The american Court

In some memoirs found in a very
old library we read that Mrs. Washington
was in her day a lady welding the same
sort of a scepter as the Empress Eugenie
did in hers, and that the Princess of Wales
does now. She was the queen Of fashion
of her time, and the cut Of her silks, the
flow of her laces, indicated the proper
method to all her coterie Of friends. and
thence it circled to the outer world. Even
in the early days of the Republic, accord
ing to this authority, women dressed in
rich fabrics, and expensive accessories to
the toilet were considered necessary. When
Thomas Jefferson was Minister to France
he took enough interest in his women folks
to send home to them from Paris white
satin slippers, long gloves, lace slips and
other pretty things. In one of his letters
he gives a parental caution against extray-
agance, but urges his daughters to always
keep themselves dressed as ladies.

Terrible snow slide.
CHEYENNE, November 26.-Advices to
the Leader from North Park state that five
miners going from Georgetown, Col, to
the North Park, were precipitated IN an
immense snow-slide on the Continental Oh,
vide on Saturday last. c.. H.. Eaton and
Thomas Gray were killed; James Frazer
had a thigh broken in two places, ana the
remaining two, Nelson and Sander, es..
capped with severe bruises. The body OF
| Eaton was found buried in the snow.
| Gray's BODY could not be found. The party
| had been out in a storm for five days, and
were nearly famished when the accident
occurred.
DENVER, November 26.-The Leadville
Chronicle says: Sixty laborers were buried
in a snow-slide Yesterday, near Chalk creek,
on the Kollomo extension OF the Denver
and Rio Grande railroad. About IL o'clock
A. NJ, they noticed the pine trees trembling,
and in an instant the slide came with a
roar, tearing up the track for a distance OF
a quarter of a mile and burylng ~ men.
John Dine was killed and 10 men were
badly injured and IL others slightly. The
slide carried the track over the heads OF the
men, and most of the wounds were prob
ably caused by the iron striking them.
Railroad RumOrs-
New York, November 26.-It is ru-
mored that VIM. III. Vanderbilt and ID. o.
Mills, of this city, are negotiating for a
a block of Union Pacific stock which will
| give them control of the road. 1t is claimed
that a controlling interest is for sale at
SI20 per share, and Vanderbilt and Mills
already own a large proportion of the share
capital. Another rumor current on the
street is that Sc seral large California cap
italists and spectators, not before in the
market, have for a week been buying the
stock. Still another is that Gould has been
caught on a large short of Northwestern,
St. Paul, Lake Shore and Erie, and has
lost heavily.

rur psupOsED INSANE ASYLUM.

Nevada has never owned an Insane
ASYLUM OF her own Her patients have
been treated by private physicians on
contract at Woodbridge. California. The
sum expended by the State for the care
and maintenance of the insane aggregates
annually something like $4,000. This
money should be kept at home among
our W people. The unfortunates can
be as well cared for here as in California.
Two years ago the question OF build
ing an Asylum in the western part OF the
State was warmly agitated before the
Legislature. An appropriation for this
purpose would undoubtedly have been
made at that time had any one known
ANYTHING about the probable cost. There
were neither plans, specifications or esti.
mates submitted for the consideration OF
the members. Under the circumstances
it was simply business prudence to with
hold the appropriation. But the Legs
lature did the next best thing. 1t chose
the State Prison grounds, near Reno, as
the site of the proposed Asylum, and ap-
propriated s., 200 for the preparation OF
the land and the securing of plans and
specifications for the building. The loca-
ton is unquestionably as good as could
be secured in the State.
In compliance with the law Of the last
session, the State authorities have Sc
cured plans from a Sacramento architect.
A synopsis Of his report was lately given
in these columns. He estimates the cost
OF an Asylum, all complete, at something
over $500, 900. This is manifestly too
steep in the present depleted condition
of the Treasury. The State needs an
Asylum and should have one, but it
must proceed on a cheaper basis. 1t
is stated by the Reno papers that a suit
able building can be erected and fur
nished at a cost not exceeding $72, 600.
If so, the Legislature will hardly hesitate
to appropriate the money to build it.
But first of all the State authorities
should procure plans and specifications
on this modified basis for the considera-
tion of the Legislature. Unless they do
something of this kind, the proposition
to construct an Asylum is likely, we fear,
to fare badly.
In the meantime the contract with the
California physicians expires in February
next The State must therefore do one
of two things; either build or renew the
contract.

LEADvILLE DEMOCRAT: The Tribune ad-
vises the establishment of a silver bureau
for the protection Of that metal. The best
silver bureau possible is an out-and-out
Democratic administration, as we strove
for, and the Tribune against. only a few
weeks since. However, we agree with the
Tribune that silver is in danger, as we
claimed before the election, from a power
full Republican ascendancy, and we will
not sulk and say "Well, let it come" as
many will say. We say, since we are not
to have the protecting Egis of a Demo-
cratic administration, in Gods name, let
us have the bureau or anything else which
will protect the interests of the silver-pro-
ducing States of the West. Some people
never pray till the devil comes. but it is
better to pray then than not at all. Let us
have the bureau, and let us have a care
also that all the adverse and hostile legis.
lation feared by the Tribune DO promptly
and vigorously met at the outset.

sibls to show that their election was Be-
cured by bribery on the part Of Colonel

THE RIGHT KIND OF TALK.

Senator Browns speech before the
Legislature of Georgia on the night of
his election to a full term Of the Office he
now holds by appointment, was full of
strong and sensible points. The Senator
seems to take hold Of things in a practi-
cal way. The annexed passage is sug-
g%estive:
l have the educational question very
much at heart. Disguise it as YOU may,
the New England States, with their schools
and universities, have dictated laws to this
continent. They have sent New England
ideas all over the West, and they dominate
there. Look at Prussia, that little En-
pire.over which Napoleon rushed and al
most obllterated. Hardly . generation
passed before it had in turn humbled
France and taken the power from its EN-
pire. The bright-eyed boys in your
mountains and wire-grass may represent
you nobly before the world II you educate
them. We must also educate the colored
race, and they ought to be educated for
the benefit of the Union and by the friends
OF the Union. Applause. I would de-
vote the proceeds OF the public lands to
this purpose on . basis OF illiteracy. The
colored people are citizens, and we must
do them justice.
: That is well said, coming from a
Southern Senator Of the power and in
fuence Of Senator Brown. The negro is
a citizen, with equal rights, and he is en-.
titled to be educated. He is vested with
the elective franchise and must have
knowledge to exercise it in the proper
way. The people of the South can dis
sipate a deal of clamor at the North by
giving the negro q fair chance in the pub.
