ARR sEpunLIos uNen.rruL,

Oneeit was accepted rs indisputable
that 81 Repnhlics are ungrateful."
This belief, in view of the conduct
of our Government towards the soldiers
of the late war will have to be con
siderably modified,
In the earlier and poorer days of the
Republic there were just grounds for
the charge of ingratitude, as many
deserving soldiers of the Revolution
were permitted to suffer from priva-
ton, spite of their appeals to Congress
for assistance. Probably the Congress
men of those days were as liberal-mind-
cd and generous as are the Congress
men of to-day, but they had not the
means at disposal, and the votes to be
gained were not sufficient return for
the doubts which might arise in the
minds of the people concerning too
free disbursement Of public money.
Whether or not the present liberal
ity of the Government should all be
credited TO gratitude, the fact remains
that the soldiers of the Rebellion are
remembered by those who have charge
of the puplic funds. In the light of
facts, the charge of ingratltude can no
longer be laid at the door of the Gov
eminent.
The truth is that there is danger of
pretended gratitude degenerating into
reckless extravaganza. There are now
thousands of fraudulent applications
for pensions, and, probably, thousands
of pensions paid which never go
farther than the hands of INSCRIPTIONS
claim agents. Some means should be
taken to restrict this unlimited ex-
pcnditure on unworthy objects, Graft
tude does not compel the granting of
a pension to everyone who asks; but
the circle of eligible applicants is con
stantly widening, and, unless Congress
soon awakes to a realization Of the
flimsy political clap-trap of pension
bills, the pension rolls will contain
the names of bankrupt army con
tractors and suffers who lost their
profits at faro games.

Eating TT Might.

Popularity. il is thought injurious,
but unless dinner or supper has been
late. or the stomach disordered, it is
harmless and beneficial, that is, if one
be hungry. -Four TO five hours having
elapsed since the last meal, invalids
and the delicate should always eat at
bedtime. This seems heretical, but it
is not Food of simple kind will in
duec sleep. Animals, after eating,
instinciively sleep. Human beings
become drowsy after full meal.
Why? Because blood is solicited
toward the stomach to supply the
juices needed in digestion. Hence the
brain receives less blood than during
fasting, becomes pale and the powers
grow dormant. Sleep therefore en-
sues. This is physiological. The
sinking sensation in sleeplessncss is
call for food. Wakefulness often is
merely symptom of hunger. Crafty
the desire and you fall asleep. The
writer recently was called at 2 A. NJ.
to lady who assured him she was
dying The body was warm, the heart
doing honest work. To her indigna-
ton, he ordered buttered bread (hot
milk or beef tea were better) to he
eaten ut once. Obeying, the moribund
lady was soon surprised by a return of
life aud desire to sleep.
The feeble will be stronger at dawn
if they eat on gong to bed Fourteen
hours lie between supper and break
fast. BY that time the fuel of the
body has become expended. Conse-
quently, the morning toilet faugues
many. Let such cat at ed-time, and
take glass of warm milk or beef-tea
before rising. Increased vigor will
result. But stomach must rest
True. Yet when hungry we should
eat. Does the infant stomach rest as
long as the adults? The latter eats
less often merely because his food re-
quircs more time for digestion. Seldom
can one remain awake until 10 80 or
II p. Nj. without hunger. Satisfy it
and sleep will be sounder.
During the NIGHT give wakeful chill
dren food. Sleep will follow. The
sick should invariably eat during the
night. This is imperative. At night
the delicate and children may take,
slowly, warm milk, beef-tea or oat-
meal Cruel. Vigorous adults may
also eat bread and milk, cold beef,
mutton, chicken and bread raw oysters,
all, Of course, in moderation. Do not
eat if not hungry. Eat if you are.

RANDALL'S SURPRISE.

The first of what is called the sur
prises which the candidacy of Randall
for the Speakership is TO produce,
came off yesterday. Three OF the
oldest and most prominent papers in
the South came out for him. Every
body has heard Of the old Atlanta Com
stitulionalist, which for half century
has been given TO the discussion of
what may be called higher politics.
Before the war the constitution was its
favorite theme. Finding that its read.
ing of that document would not be
accepted in the North, il eagerly sup
ported Secession. This paper has
come out for Randall as Speaker
The Consiituttonaii1 has been
followed by the scarcely less known
Macon Telegraph and Savannah Ne,os.
1t is true that all these papers belong
to the state of Georgia. 1t is also the
fact that Georgia has entered of late
largely into the business Of manufac-
turing cotton. 1t is becoming formid-
able rival to Massachusetts and Rhode
Island in the business. There can
not be the least doubt of the connection
between the two facts. There is
great deal of human nature in the tariff
business. 1t may be stated with equal
positiveness that it is not pure en-
thusiasm for science that actuates free
traders. Georgia has had practical
lesson in political economy and is not
slow to profit by it.
There are missionaries in the shape
OF cotton mills, which will soon be in
operation in the Carolinas, and the
whizz of their machinery will do more
to effect radical change in mems
opinions than the most eloquent pass
ages of John Bright and the statesmen
of his school. Free trade is destined
before long to disappear altogether
from American politics. The time
may come when some modification of
our policy may be necessary. That
time may arrive when we have gained
such skill and experience that our
manufacturers will defy competition
in the markets of the world. But that
is n long way off. Meanwhile. the
great truth to be digested is that the
home market is the most profitable
of all.--S. r. Bulletin.

THE RESERVATION IN THE
CAMPAIGN.

The people of Lyon and Esmeralda
Counties will want to know the
opinion Of Senatorial aspirants ON the
subject of further maintenance
of the Walker River Reservation.
They will demand an expression of
opinion without reservation against
the Reservation. No better oppor-
tunity ever offered itself to candidates
for doing something both popular and
useful than the present, and y promise,
which has guarantee of fuillment,
that the Reservation shall be abandoned
will make more votes than all the
political arguments that can be used.
A guarantee that the large area of
valuable mineral and agricultural
lands, also including the fisheries of
Walker Lake, will be given to the
whites for occupation and improve
ment, will be more potent ia politics
than the proverbial sack. The keser
walton is almost useless TO the Indians,
but would give employment to many
industrious white men, who would
much prefer the prospect OF more work
and an easier living TO the present or
Prospective receipt of IA few dollars for
hlegllimate election expenses.

butler Overin atclled.

General Butler was once engaged as
counsel for the defendant in case
where the prisoner was accused of
marslaughter, and, IN the course of
his argument, based on the assumption
of self defense, he informed the jury
that 1--WE have it on the highest author
itv that all that man hath he will
give for his life.' Judge Hoar, coun-
sci on the other side, rose and demol-
ished his opponents argument by
quickly saying that he had long
wondered what General Butler con-
sidered The highest authority, and was
very glad to have the question settled
and proceeded to read to the Court
from the book of Job: And Satan
answered the Lord and said, All that
man hath he will give for his life"

To Newspaper Publishers.

There are two advertising firms in
San Francisco who have always con
Quoted their business in an honorable
way and kept their contracts with pub
fishers. These firms are l.. p. Fisher
q Co. and ID. Brown. Other adverlis-
ing firms are springing up with the
avowed intention of runuinS Fisher
and Brown out of businesl They do
so by taking advertising contracts at a
cheaper rate. This simply means u
cheaper rate to Nevada newspapers
for San Francisco advertising. 1t will
be therefore seen at a glance that it
will pay Nevada newspapers to stick
by the old firms and avoid being made
the victims of rat rates for advertising.

THANKSGIVING.

Tomorrow everybody will be de-
voted to thanksgiving, Some may
think that they have very little for
which to be thankful, but they can
always be thankful that matters are
no worse. Very few, however, in this
section have reason to complain, as If
they are not enjoying present prosper
ity, they have, at least, pleasant pros
poets.
The unconscious turkeys are now
enjoying themselves, and are doubtless
in blissful ignorance, thankful for the
abundant supply of provisions which
they have received of late. The girls
arc thankful because there is to lie IA
merry dance, and the old people will
be thankful when the dance is over.
Everybody will eat so much that they
will be thankful if they don't die of
indigestion, The doctors will be
thankful for an increased list of
patients, the store keeper will give
thanks for heavy sales, the lawyers for
a day of rest.
Generally, people will do their best
to show their realization of the force
of the Governors proclamation, and
everybody will be comfortable except
the oyerworked women who have to
take charge of the details of the tur-
KEY dinners.

THE new method of keeping time
which was lately adopted has raised a
disturbance among the almanac
makers. They have already printed
great quantities of patent medicine,
and other advertising almanacs, Civ
ing the time of sunrise sunset etc.,
in different localities for 1884, and
will now have TO withdraw them from
circulation because the time has been
changed. Fortunately for them, it
will only be necessary TO change some
figures in their forms, but it would
have been quite task had one of the
suggestions of the time changers been
adopted. This was to indicate the
hours by twenty-four letters, emitting
J and V. 1t would have been hard on
them to have to change their work to
read "moon rises at balf.past O. or
" R:15,' as the case might be.

Some Como parties had little
trouble the first of the week about
affairs at the Como Eureka mine.
Several attachments have been levied
on the mine, and the Sheriff recently
appointed Thomas Hill as keeper of
the propHty. 1t seems that Hill had
allowed several parties to go into the
blacksmith shop of the works for the
purpose of sharpening picks and fin
ing other tools, and Symons knowing
of this made up his mind to put stop
to it. He went to the works Monday
morning and knowing that Harry Hill
and Ely were there, and fearing trouble,
took with him his rifle. He ordered
the parties away, and they concluding
the atmosphere unhealthy, took their
departure. Coming to Dayton they
had warrant issued for his arrest.
Symons ,elegraphed TO Virginia for
lawyer Belknap, and upon having a
hearing before Justice Hawkins the
case was dismissed.-Lyoa Go, Times,
