READY MADE OPINIONS.

-
as being an institution gotten up for the
purpose of furnishing 'ready made opin
ions for rattle-brained writer's" We would
like to ask-partly from motives of curl
osity and partly because we would like to
know what enswer the Enterprise would
make-who furnishes the ready made opin-
ions for the gentleman who writes the cor
poration articles for the Enterprise We
call to mind that not long ago he edited a
paper (now defupct known as the Globe,
in which he emptied the Walls Of his wrath
upon the corporations. He considered
monopoly abuses as constituting the
gravest danger which threatened the
country. He now characterizes men who
think as exactly as he thought, and wrote
very much as he wrote, as ''bushwhackers"
and 'rattle-braired writer's" We do not
believe that any paper which aims at honest
discussion and is willing to be fair and just
in controversy will take typographical
error to hang its logic on, as did the
Enterprise for want of something better The
sentence in an APPEAL editorial ''but be-
Titles newspaper indulging in it." was
rendered meaningless by the dropping ont
of the word sit" from the forms. The En-
terpriss editor, who is o practical printer,
knew well enough that word had been
dropped and mnst have also known that
such accidents are common in every print
ing office. The Enterprise holds that soci-
ETY. should be rebuilt before any attempt is
made toward reform ''in railroad abuses"
This seems very much like the parties on
the weak side of a litigation fighting for
time. The two column reply to the APPEAL
articles concludes with some unexpected
words of sense and soberness:
Shall not we of Nevada become sharers
in the coming tide Of prosperity? Will
not our mining industry feel the quicken
ing influence of the coming changes? Aud
where is the money coming from which
starts all these forces into actin? Are the
people of Nevada. or OF this Coast, build
ing the iron thoroughfares which are to
give us the benefit of railroad competition
Is it not in fact flowing in from Boston.
New York, London. Frankfort, Berlin and
Paris? What reception are we to give to
this capital d? Declare mad political war
fare against it? Shall We practically con
fiscate the properly of these investors, or
alarm them now by threatening it with con-
fscatiOn? These are serious questions
fer every man to meet. They cannot be |
answered by crazy assaults upon railroad
corporations in general or by ~illful and
criminal charges, conceived in malice and
founded upon ignorant falsehoods.
There is much of the above which we
cordially endorse. The people Of Nevada
will welcome the coming OF eapita! from
any quarter which will give us competing |
lines across the State. Nevada has never
confscated any railroad property, has
never attempted to. 1t has never insti
tuted any crazy assaults upon railroad CAPT
tai. The people of the State have simply
asked Congress to regulate certain abuses
which have been fragrant and oppressive.
The remedy denied them by Congress seems
now about to come in the shape of compe
ting lines. Welcome the day when such
lines will be in active operation,
Theapti-monopoly boom appears to be
gaining strength all round. Yesterdays
dis patches state that telegraph
company has been formed by well-known
capitalists in this country and Europe. 1t
is intended that it shall include every
paying point covered by the Western
Union lines. tt understood that James r.
keene is to be President. The Directors
Will include John W. Mackay, of the Com
stock lode, and other well-known California
capitalists. George D. Roberts is also
largely interested in the new company
The capital will be about $40. 00O, 900. The
money, it is asserted, is already subscribed.
The lines are to be constructed on pure
cash basis, and will be furnished with al
modern improvements.
The bullet fired by Gniteau and which
missed the President has been found by an
tia ian glazier, lodged in piece of putty
IN his box. This man, at the lime of the
was standing near the ticket
office. He heard the shots, and at the
same time heard a smashing of glass in the
box on his back. He Immediately ran out
IF the depot, and for time thought no r
more of the cause of the breakage In !
cleaning his box last week he came across
! ballet imbedded il ball of putty. This
bullet corresponds exactly with the size of
he ones in the pistol. There is no doubt
