Rouxh. hut We'll Deserved.


The following hard rap comes
from the Times-Review:
Neither Carson, Reno or Elko
celebrated tho Fourth. Tuscarora
has neither State Prison, Orphans
Asylum, Mint, Insane Asylum,
Court house or county seat and yet
she can afford to give our National
bird blowout. We most heartily
pity towns, with nothing but Fed
eaal, State or county pap to sup
port them. They can't afford to be
patriotic.
The above is severe, but well de-
served. Carson contains more men
living on fat official salaries than
any town in Nevada. Yet when a
call is made upon them for funds
for a celebration, q political dem.
ons.ration or anything of that sort,
they hold back. There are men in
the Mint who draw good salaries,
yet growl every time there is po-
litical assessment, and who under
no circumstances will subscribe for
. Republican newspaper or spend
. dollar to help the party upon
which they depend for good offices.
It is time that Carson changed its
tune on this proposition.

Ger. The girl was paid several
thousand dollars, all of which she
deposited in the savings bank.
Having taken this proper step, the
Levy Brothers took q more i'm
portant one by compelling the

It would be interesting to know just
 what. cause, connected with the late hard
 winter, killed so many evergreens, arbor vitse hedges, and other non-deciduons shrubs and trees in New England. The scared and dead proclamations of the dead ly force of last winter on the evergreens are encountered at every turn. Off in the woods of Maine the larger, older evergreen trees are dying, and various theories are put forth in explanation In Norwich nearly all the evergreens in the cemeteries and nurseries were destroyed. At Block Island, there have been many
 improvements this year. The Ocean View House has been enlarged by the extension of the east wing. The Spring House has added an "annex, in which many guests may be accommodated with rooms, and the Manisees has been enlarged and great ly improved.

The County ADMINISTRATORS Bin,

The bill to create the Office Of County
Administrator, which was lost in the
House last Wednesday by vote Of 50 to
a., is again before the Legislature. the vote
by which it was lost having been recOnsid-
cred. The fact that a reconsideration was
granted may be taken as an indication
that the bill viii meet with more favor
when il is again considered. There can
be no doubt that such an officer as COun-
Is Administrator is needed. There is not
much use for such an officer in many coun-
ties Of the state, it is true, but there are
occasions in every county when there are
duties which County Administrator
could perform TO better advantage than
any other officer now known TO the law
The laws Of about every State provide for
a County Administrator, or, as he is gen.
orally called, Public Administrator. In
cities the office is necessary and quite val
liable and not uncommOnly yields hand
some income TO the occupant.
The number Of people who die leaving
estates and no representatives. or no rep
resentatives who can be communicated
with at once. is much larger than one
would suppose. The present method of
administering such estates is not alto
gether satisfactory. The only change
i'm the bill that we have to sug-
gest is, that the power TO appoint
the administrator should be lodged in the
Governor. In other respects there does not
appear to be any good grounds of obiec-
ton to il.
