The Germans are remarkable for
practical economy and beneyolence.
Hitherto they have accomplished
great things by collecting cigar
tips and disposing Of them for the
benefit of poor children. Now
comes . suggestion from the Saxon
Indus rial Society concerning the
col ecti"n of cast-off steel pens, to
be disposed Of for the benefit Of
workingmen's children by procur-
ing them instruction of various
kinds. Steel pens are, a. We all
know. made of the very best steel,
which suffers little by use. Instead
Of throwing away old pens, these
might be preserved and gathered
and many millions of marks saved
by converting them into watch
springs, fine knives. etc. Steel
filings are carefully ssved-~hy not
steel pens. which represent : much
greater value? If for nothing else
they might be probably used in

Some terrible disclosures were
made at Paris last month. The pc
lice arrested . man named Mar eau,
Who absolutely refused to give any
particulars about himself. The
prisoner was, however, recognized
by other arrested persons and the
police with the clues furnished in
vestigated and discovered most
extraordinary conspiracy to commit
Wholesale murder. in which the
mother of Marteau and some young
women are implicated Marteau
hired q house near the Boulevard
Aeni!moutant and had q gang Of
well-dressed young women to per-
susde men of wealthy appearance
to visit them. Ii dark passage
there was . trap-door, communi-
eating with . cellar, in which there
were large knives, newly sharper ed.
coarse sponges and a tnb to receive
the blood of the victims. Happily
the arrest of Marteau defeated this
hideous plot. Sevei al of the young
women have already given evid. nee
regarding the murderous erter-

Adams did offer the fi.gpoie. Still,
the Leader will reserve its judge
ment until MIR. Adams is heard if
he intends to speak. Oar contem-
porary assumes t. ctate the course
which Nevada Governor shall pur-
sue. In one portion Of the article
it says: HE has very properly
treated the whole affair with the
silence Of. c,ntempt;" and in an
other paragraph tells him to speak
out, but psves the way to q denial
by saying THAT. when the truth is
told j, will be found he never male

the promise its fuli.lmeat has bsen
hindered in some way to give him,
thus far at least, an honorable dis
charge from the obligation" In
reply to the assertion Of some
Democratic sheets that the p:ess
has sought to besmirch the repta-
ton for honesty of Nevada's Gov
ernor by asserting that he made
promises he had no intention Of
keeping, the Carson APPEAL says ::
1.-THE Governor has earned the rep

The custom of making promises
and not keeping them is altogether
too prevalent in this State and
Adams is not the only offender.
This custom has made this state
rotten borough and . byword
abroad. 1t should be frowned down
BY all we'll meaning people, and
the press should make an example
of the present instance that aspir-
ing politicians may learn q valua'
