MORNING APPEAL.
FRIDAY..,......-.... rs. 1851
HAINEs' bill for the relief Of INDECENT mill
ionaires should be referred to the Committee
on County Boundaries, being "purely local'
affair.
SENATOR PowNING was noticed last night
examining the foundations Of the State Capt.
tol. He was doubtless estimating the cost Of
moving il to Reno.
THE citizen of Reno watches the votes Of
his representative in the Legislature, and
huns softly to himself: "Sing, hey, the
merry statesman and the tart"
THE last Frank Leslie's contains a worry
good picture Of Colonel Fair. The Harpers'
should show little enterprise and give US q
view of the phiz of Major Dick Dye.
Bob LowERY is almost successful as
Speaker of the Third House as he is as Clerk
Of the Assembly. A bill to abolish Bob would
mrke its author the mos. popai4: AN ia

SENATOR HAINEs has introduced ridicu-
lous bill for the relief of tho Bonanza firm
1t is the old business of the bullion tax PEN
allies over again. The bill was received with
broad grin all over the Senate.
WHEN Steve Gage fixes q victim with his

THE richest mine in New Mexico is said to
be in the White Oak District. 1t was origi-
nally sold for So in silver, little dust and an
old revolver, and is now said to be worth 49,

works differently. The mine is sold for 49,
OOO and proves to be worth an old revolver"
Coon News FOR DREXLER.-The Gold Hill
News has the following pleasing information
for Mr.. DreXler:
missoners from extending mOneyed aid to
indigents except the case is first submitted to
the full Board, is exciting considerable COM
ment in Virginia. A certain element last
evening became quite violent in its demon
STATIONS of feeling against Mr.. Drexler on
account of the bill, and its having passed the
Assembly, and wanted to burn Mir. Drexier
in efligy as . demonstration of the feeling
aroused against him, both on account of the
bill and because of his vote on railroad
measures.
Mr.. Drexer's idea of life appears to be,
"D-n poor man, any how"
PROSPEROUS RESo-Senator POwning, of
Washoe, yesterday afternoon, in flowery
little speech on the glories of the village by
tho Truckee. to which his youth, beauty and
fluency, and the tar bucket, have given fame,
constituted himself sort of Macauley's New
Zealander, and gazed on the ruins of Carson.
The lovely young Senator actually had the
nerve to refer to Carson a 81 decaying
town." Reno's growth, like the young Sena-
tors, is not normal. An exaggerated head
gives the appearance of caricature to town
as well Us a State Senator. 1t may be sigu
of prosperity to hear whole town rising up
and bowling for the privilege of supplying
grub and lodgings to a handful Of poor luna
tics and convicts. If noisy clamor for a
chance to make dollar, no matter how, con-
stitutes prosperity, then Reno is indeed in
the enjoyment of perennial boom.
THE NEW STATES PRIsON.-A bill to move
the States Prison to Reno, supposedly intro |
duced as jest, was seriously taken up yester- |
day by the Committee of the Whole, and, |
after long debate, its passage recommended. |
The bill provides. that $4,000 is to be appro- |
priated for the building of the institution |
The message of the Governor announces that |
the State Treasury is in depleted condition, |
and a new tax levy will have to be made in |
order 10 make the proposed change. The
proposition to tear down we'll equipped and |
well regulated States Prison in order to build
a new one, will not be welcomed by the already |
over-burdened taxpayers of Nevada. Reno
made an attempt some years age to erect a
States Prison, and three barren walls ten
feet high, erected at an expense of So, 900.
still represent SO much wasted money, which
was clean scoop from the Treasury OF the
State for which return was ever made
The $4,000 about to be appropriated will
complete the third wall and in two |
years 100000 will be wanted 20 AIRY on the
work. The whole thing looks lie job put
up by Messrs. Langdon and Clark to prevent
an asylum being built in the same place.
