What the legislature should Dc.

"h0t the Legislature SnOuI0 De
The following are the view.
of the iSilrer State on the subjec,
of economy and reform. They
are republished because they
contain many well taken points,
but the APPEAL does not believe
that any; of these suggestions
will be acted upon. Every two
years the newspapers of n evada
read the Legislature a series of
instructions on their duties and
the needs of the hour and the
honorable body as Systematically
ignore them. The ,SHrer State
says:
The Legislature, which is to
convene at Carson next January,
is expected to devote a reason
able part of its time to the en-
actment of economic laws for
the government of the State.
Its every act will be watched by
the people, and should any of its
members encourage jobbery or
extravaganza, they will certain
| ly be remembered by their con-
stituents. The falling off in
the revenue of the State, re-
sulting from the failure to find
new bonanzas on the Comstock
or elsewhere in the State,
throws the burden of maintain
ing the State Government on
other industries, which cannot
afford to pay high taxes, and
the main purpose of the next
Legislature should be to reduce
expenses to the lowest possible
amount consistent with the en-
forcement Of the laws for the
protection Of life and property.
To accomplish this offices should
be consolidated and the number
of officials and deputies reduced
as low as possible, and principals
made to do a part of the work
which is now performed eXclu-
sively by deputies.
Among other changes that
should be made, the Lieutenant !
Governor should be eX-Officio |
Warden of the State Prison, as
the law originally contemplated.
Under the law which goes into
effect next January, the Lieuten-
ant Governor is allowed a salary
only for the time the Legislature
is in session and he presides in
the Senate, and during the alb
sence of the Governor from the
State. This will not be sufficient
to support that officer decently,
and he should be given some
thing else to do, and his salary
proportiOnately increased, so
that an intelligent poor man, if
elected to the office can,
by performing the duties of
Warden of the State Prison, get
A sufficient salary to support
him. OF course, place hunters,
who have hopes Of being ap-
pointed Warden Of the Prison,
Or Deputy in some State office,
will object to consolid alton of
offices, and a saving of expense
to the taxpayers, but the masses
Of the people will undoubtedly
such changes when a
saving can be effected.
The office of Surveyor-Gen-
araI should also receive atten-
lion from the Legislature. The
Reno Gazette, if memory serves
is right, stated some time ago
hat the Principal of the Office
Vas absent from the State the
greater part of the time, though
lrawing a handsome salary for
work performed by deputies
,aid by the State. Such i'm
positions on the taxpayers :

THE ASSASSINS TRIAL.
GUITEAU ASKING FOR FURTHER
INSTRUCTIONS.
ScOvIIIe's Argument Resumed-The
Case Not Likely 10 Go Before the
Jury TIL Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, January 19 When the
court opened this morning Guiteau made
his usual speech, and called attention to the
recent decision OF the New York Court of
Appeals, and said that in the name of the
American people and the American iudicia-
ry he desired to thank the gentlemen of the
Court of Appeals.
Mr. Scoville resumed his argument and
complained that the prosecution failed to
call Detective McElfresh because his evi
douce would have been OF eervice to the
prisoner. He also charged the prosecution
with unfairness all through the trial.
Mr.. Scoville proceeded. apparently going
over the same ground he had once before
traversed, to show that the prisoners morals
had been correct and his life proper up to
the point when, as he (Scoville) claimed the
evidence pointed to unsoundness of
mind. He denounced the Oneida
tices. The defense could not summon
anv of their people as Witnesses, 'but, !"
said Mr. Scoville. "with the telegraph aud
all the power of the government at their
backs, If there had been a single immoral
or vicious act on the part of the prisoner
during the six years he was In the Oneida
Community, this prosecution would have
produced witnesses to show It,"
Counsel for the prosecution continually
badgered the speaker, who had frequently
to digress from his argument to respond.
AS a consequence the thread was so often
broken that It was a matter of some diff
Guilty at times to detect any logical sequence
in bis argument. 1t is understood that the
defense will at the conclusion of Mr..
Scoville's speech renew the motion to allow
the prisoner to address the jury, an
will ask to be heard In support Of the mo-
ton. The effect of this, II permitted by the
court, will be to consume another day.
Allowing two davs for Judge Porter, and II
is more than probable that he will require
three, the case will hardly go to the jury be-

Mrs. Lincoln Interviewed A State
ment Of Her Condition.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press recently visited the widow of Abra-
ham Lincoln in New York. The only
reference she made to her financial con-
dition was to express her extreme regret
that the matter had become the subject
of discussion in the public prints. She
talked much of the past, but said she
could read but little now because of her
weak eyes, though they are getting bet
ter. Drs Sayre. Clymer, Knapp and
Pancoast have furnished Hon. VIM. M.
Springer, of Illinois, with the following
special stat ment of Mrs. Lincoln's con-
dilion; I'VE find Mrs. Lincoln suffe-
iog from chronic inflammation of the
spinal cord, chronic disease of the kid
neys and commencing cataract of both
eyes. The disorder of the spinal cord
is the result Of an injury received
some time since, and has resulted
in considerable loss of power OF both
lower limbs, so as TO lessen their use and
render walking without assistance i'm
possible. The nature of the spinal trou-
BILE is progressive and will end in paraly
sis of the lower extremities. Connected
with the spinal disease, and one Of its
evidences, is the reflex paralysis of the
iris of the right eye and the reduction of
the sight to one tenth the natural stand
ard, together with much narrowing of
the field of vision. The sight will grad
ually grow worse. There is no proba-
bility there will be any permanent i'm
provement ip Mrs. Lincolns condition,
considering the nature of her disease
and her age. She is now quite helpless
and unable to walk with safety without
the aid of an attendant, or, indeed, to
help herself to any extent. She requires
the continued services of a nurse, and
also constant medical attendance

Wilmot, farmer living near here, on the
night of the 18th killed his mother, sged 50,
his wife, and two daughters, aged 10 and is,
in their beds, and then hung himself In his
barn. He had used a new sharp axe. He
had attempted to shoot SOD, aged 20. but
the latter escaped and ran for his life. An
other son, aged s, was rescued by p young
lady named Calvin, who was aroused,
and, discovering the murderer's intentions,
took the little fellow in her arms ard es
capped. The older son reused the neighbors,
but none were bold enough to enter the
house till daylight. Wilmot was in good
delusion that he and his family would die
of starvation.

Rachel. aged 13; Ella, aged 6; Theodore,
aged 16, and the mother, aged 43. The fire
is supposed to have started from clothing
hanging by the kitchen stove, or from a coal
oil exnlosion. Mrs Smith was the first to
awaken, when she aroused her husband,
who made bis escape, with a little girl OF q
ueighbor who was staying there for the
night, and one of his own daughters, aged
about s. Smith and his daughter were
seriously burned"

Senorita Catalina Gongara, a beautiful
young maiden only seventeen years of age,
whose feats of daring upon the trapeze
during balloon aseensions bad made her
famous throughout all Mexico, and whose
bravery was only excelled by her beauty.
"The balloon, which was inflated with
hot air. and was not expected to make long
flights, had no car attached, but in place OF it
carried a trapeze. When the moment for
her ascension arrived, the intrepid young

GEORGIA INDEPENDENTS.

The trouble with the Georgia Independ-

They are ready to fee from the evils of
Bourb0nism, but not to rush upon others

call 'Radicalism :" Their independence is
still too Young and tender to be very daring
They have chosen their Captain, their ship
is ready to sail, but they are too timid to
weigh anchor and venture Their craft upon
the actual ocean. After the recent confer

declared that the gentlemen who took part
in it ''were beginning at the wrong end. !"
'No independent movement inaugurated

Months ego 1t was predicted that the sue

and encourage the anti Bourbon elements
in Georgia as to build up a party strong
enough to give the regular Democrats
v,ry close race in the election next fall, if
not 10 actually wrest the GOvernorsbip and
the Legislature from their grasp. It Is al
ready evident that these predictions require
modification. The Georgia Independents
are made of different stuff from those whose
votes made Cameron Governor of Virginia

that State. It is easy to see where the Ma

than natural promptings. Its founders have

devotes to matters which are in no sense

which q genuine Independent party would
