THE CITY ELECTION.

taken in the annual city elections.
There are always to be found, however,
class of GROWERS who grunt and sweat
because the city government is not run
to suit them. The city government of
Carson is run cheaply and efficiently,
and there is nothing in it to speak of
for the officeholder either in the shape
of money or influence. If it did not
suit majority of the taxpayers there
would certainly be more interest taken
in the municipal election. It's burdens
cannot be Onerous, or substantial Oppo-
sition would be manifested. Mr.. Ben
den authorizes the statement that hes
will not be candidate for c:?y II mini
pal office at the next electi;;i. He has
been President of the Board Of City
Trustees since the incorporation of Car
sou, and would be happy to see some
one else in the place. 1t is to be hoped
that at the next election business men
will take an interest in the matter and
allow their names to go before the peo-
pie in spite of the fact that the office is 4
thanlkless billet without emoluments.
A NICE OLD MAN.-Rev. Allen lib

this city, CColdwater) than all its other
inhabitants. L preached for over fifteen

A COMPETENT JUDGE.-Mrs. Eliza
Ann Young probably knows as much
about the curse which hangs like a pail
over Utah as any person living. She
said in the course of a recent lecture:
I solemnly aver that Mormonissn and
polygomy brings no good to man, WO-
man or child, but, on the contrary, dark
ness, despair and destruction.
appeal 10 our rev President and his |
Cabinet, to ouf Senator sand Congress |
men: to our ministers Of the gospel or |
every denomination, to our newspapers, |
which are SO mighty q power, but have |
SO long ignored, and even excuse, Nor

DIFFERENT STYLEs.--When a Tax
Collector entered a Chinese camp near
Grass Valley to collect from the heath
ems, they set upon him with axes and
hatchets, and nearly killed him before
he got away. In California taxation is
avoided by swearing to a false return,
while here in Nevada taxpayers go to
the Legislature for relief After
careful study of the three plans, we
are inclined to think that the Monaghan
