said: I'm all the towns where news.

advertise in it, even if nothing more
than card, stating his name and the
business he is engaged in. 1t does not
only help the advertiser, but it lets the
people at distance know that The

seed is sown. so the fruit recompenses.

aid from the Government, in trying
the experiment of sinking artesian
wells. Nevada is entitled to Govern.
mental assistance. 1t has supplied a
large proportion of the bullion of the
country, and while other States are get.
ting'approprmtion bills passed, torthe
improvement of their territory and
assistance of their citizens, this State
has received nothing. There are
great areas of. apparently. barren
land, which, if irrigated, would yield
a rich harvest to the rancher, and the
cost OF trying tie experiment, is slight,
as compared with that of other enter
prises, which the Government has
undertaken, for the benefit of trade
and commerce.
An organized effort to interest our
Representative and Senators, in an
appropriation of tins kind, would no
DOUBT succeed, aud should they make
aaemanf il would be, douptless met
with ao' aAirm ttior response from
Congress. For many reasons, the
appropriation could scarcely be re-
fused. We have had nothing; IT
will be for the good of the whole
people; the benefits will not be of
local application: and there will be
no question of jobs or stealing. Every.
body IN the State is interested in
having the experiment tried, as sll
will &c benefited, directly or indi
recuy. The State will receive large
accessions to its taxable property, and
tho miner will get supplies more
choaply. Should the experiment be a
success, many homes would be made,
on what are now considered desert
tracts, and there would be work for
thousands of poor men, in places,
where now. few hundred find il
difficult 10 make scanty living.
The prosperity of any section depends
on the proportion of its inhabitants at
work. and should We be able, in ad.
dition to our mines, to develop an
agricultural country. there would be
work for all. gpd the life of the pros
pecsor would be made easier.

PISTOL. MEN.

There rs a class of men who feel
like heroes when they are armed, but
ordinary heroism sinks to comparative
cowardice when brought into COM
parison with the Inflated feelings of
these idiots, when reasonable excuse
for shooting their pistols presents It,
self. These fellows do not want to
hurt any person; they simply feel
very large, with pistol in hand, and
they are mountains, when they make
noise and smell the powder
Harmless ine intention and spirit,
they are, nevertheless, dangerous.
The laek,of sense and courage which
causes desire to carry firearms makes
them poor judges of time and place
for display, and, nervous handlers of
their weapons The crack of the
pistol belonging to one of these shad-
dow desperadoes is generally. heard
when he is drunk, and then, usually.
when there are some people to witness
his reeklessness. A. drunken ass
bowls through a town at night and
shoots his pistol in the air. He don't
seem to know that the bullet will
come down somewhere, and may pos
sibly injure some one. Where there
Is crowd, and any excitement gives
him reasonable excuse for showing
that he goes armed, the pistol is fired
in the air, not rs n, salute to- the oc-
casion, thoughtliat is the reason given.
but lis n salute TO his own valor in
daring to carry a deadly weapon.
II there are any women and children
to witness the feat and be startled by
the explosion, the self Importance of
the Hector. is UNNECESSARILY increased
by their presence. Those fellows who
are anxious to be seen with pistols in
their hands seldom hurt any person
int ntianally, and. never, if there is
any danger to themselves, but they
often kill or wound, through care
lessness or awirsariness. At present
a man is held in :. Virginia City for
killing boy. He fred his pistol rs
salute to the victor in n fUot-race
and shot boy i'm the stomach. No
one suppnses that he had any idea of
doingsaHy harm he merely wished IL
crom&to see that.he bad a pistol and
could shoot IL without shutting his
eyes. Nevertheless, the boy was
killed, and now there is more sympa-
thy for the careless shooter than for
the sorrow.stricken parents. The rec
collection of the woman in 'Candelaria
who was killed for fun, is still fresh.
The motive IN each case was the same.
There was an intent TO srartIe some one
and show that There were desperate
characters around, who were willing
to brave the angry report and vicious
kick Ut ., fire arm. to show that heroes
yet live on the earth.

BOAT RACE JOBS.

Although we are at great distance
from courses, over which boat races
are contested, a great many of our cit
liens take an interest in the result of
some of the important events, and wa
ger their money, freely, on their IA
yorites. There was once time when
these races were conducted with
show of fairness, and when they were,
actually, a trial of SPEED between the
several contestants, but that time has
long passed, and it is doubtful if any
race between well known oarslnen
has been run Oh the merits of the men
for several years. Tie recent disclos.
ures of Hanlan, concerning his agree
ment with Courtney, and, explaining
why Courtney's boat WIS destroyed, is
equally discreditablc to each of the
parties, and shows how little depend
ence the public can place on the
honor Of the class of men, who have
become professional oarsmen. 1t was
agreed between them that they
should row three races, Hanlan TO win
the first, Courtney, the second and
the result of the third to be determined
by future events. Acco, ding 10 this
arrangement, the first race was given
to Hanlan, Courtney getting a large
share of the purse. Shortly before
the second race WAS to be run, Court
ney told number of his friends that
he was sure to win. Or the strength
of this assurance, they bet heavily and
when, Hanlan arrived at the course he
discovered that he would bankrupt
his friends, should he keep to his
agreement with Courtney. In conse-
qnence ne told his opponent that he
would be obliged, to win the race.
This, according to Hanlan. Courtney
knew he could do and, TO avoid the
race, the boat was destroyed.
Such II confession not only shows
that the public can not trust these
men, but that they can not trust each
other. 1t also shows that when peo-
pile on the outside lay wagers on the
result of IA race, they are not betting
on skill or endurance but on the terms
of dishonest bargain, which has
been ma lie between the contestants,
with the added, uncertainty, as to
whether a Hack of honor among thieves
will not cause a breach of faith
ON one side or the other. In other
words. innocent enthusiasts ara simply
betting on the outcome of a scheme
for deceiving the public, connected by
two Or more men who are, at any time,
liable to break faith with each other.
