HEADQUARTERS SPIRIT LAND,
RIGHT ASCENSION, '329o."
WHEREAS, A long time has elapsed since
my beloved subjects nave had the benefit
Of my advice and direction F; and
WHEREAS, The welfare of my former
subjects is, as it always has been, the
source of my most earnest solieitude, and
WHEREAS, Through the dispensation OF
Providence and influence of ''capital, - the
public mind and morals of the inhabitants
of the State of Nevada are very much dis
turbed, and the peace and safety of the
Commonwealth is in jeopardy from abroad
by coolie labor, and by the intrigues of a
conspiring decemvirate at home it is
therefore ordered and proclaimed
First-That the Legislature of the State
Of Nevada do remain constantly in session
at the State Capital, for the public good,
until p%rorogued from these headquarters
by proper order.
Second-That the expenses of this long
Parliament be paid by the owner Of the
majority Of the members, even if it takes
his own salary and a monthly assessment
on the Bonanza mines.
Third-It is further ordered that the said
n of the majority may, at his pleas
ure, have the use Of said Legislature for
his w personal business at all times, at
his option, when that body is not engaged
in business for the public welfare, or play
ing pool for refreshments, so much needed
by overworked humanity.
Fourth-And it is further ordered that
the privilege Of the writ of habeas corpus
i 1911 - IL H..
reka, White Pint inc Lincoln, as rebellion
and invasion will very soon require it for
the public safety.
And it is further ordered that the Eureka
and Colorado Railroad be built at once, re-
CARELESS of expense. "Anti-Subsidy" will
hereafter devote his talent and energy to a
more worthy object than thwarting the
schemes Of ten enterprising citizens and
capitalists of Eureka. Such an embodi-
ment of energy, capital and acumen com
bined in one decemvirate "never rose or
reigned or FELL" The bench, the bar, the
bank, the mine, the fiux and the merchant
combined in the grand object, viz the
welfare and prosperity of the peassntry
alone, is such an undertaking as ought not
only to meet the approval Of men, but the
benign sanction and blessing of Heaven.
And it is further ordered that "Citizen"
do hereafter refrain from his uncallei for
explanation of the benefits of such road,
as such benefits are apparent without ex-
PLANTATION, or rehearsal of such explanation.
Viewing this subject from my exalted
position, it is with the utmost displessure
and pain that | behold the littlenesS OF
men, both in stature and intellect. Alas,
both are painfully apparent in all the cor
r~espondence that l have yet seen on this
subject. Sarcasm is seldom convincing in
argument, and figures will lie when based
upon a false guaranty; windy newspaper
letters seldom enlighten, but often confuse
the public mind. i am annoyed that the
irrepressible " Capt has not been to the
front before this late day in the conflict
he might pour the "milk" Of human kind
ness upon the troubled waters that now
divide the Citizen from the A~nti-Subsidy.
1t is further ordered that the Legisla-
ture do at once pass the Railroad bill as
introduced there is no necessity of con
sulting their constituency they were not
sent there to ask questions, but to perform
what to them seems best the matter of
electing Fair cuts no figure, as that was
agreed upon before election.
If, after the railroad is built, and it is
found out that it don't pay, it is easy to
repeal the law, and l will SO proclaim after
the bonds are paid. This, I hope, will be
easily understood, and if anything is OBJ
scure or unfair about it l will submit it to
Fair Play" or Jim Fair, or any body that
is fair. poor Taxpayer" receives my
Royal sympathy; but then he has no BUSH
ness to be a poor taxpayer, and it is with
much reluctance that my sympathy is be-
slowed that class OF citizens ought to be-
come rich taxpayers, or else, like my
Royal Highness, be no taxpayer at abby
the latter method the project might be
easily beaten.
Trusting that my orders will be implic-
lily obeyed, | hereunto set my hand, in
the presence of many departed spirits, Jan.
