FLOWERS FOR THE BRAVE.
DECORATION DAY, 1883.


Here bring your purple and gold,
Glory OF color and SCENT
Scarlet OF tulips bold.
Buds blue as the armament.
flushed Is the sound OF the ife
And the bugle piping clear;
The vivid and delicate life
In the soul of the youthful year.
We bring TO the quiet dead.
With a gentle and tempered grief:
Ver the mounds so mute we she'd
The beauty ofblossom and leaf
The flashing swords that were dawn.
No rust shah their fame Destroy
Boughs rosy as rms OF dawn,
Like the blush ON the cheek OF JOY.
Rich fires OF the gardens and meals.
We kindle these hearts above
What splendor shall match their deeds?
What sweetness can match our love2

ECONOMY.
The Legislative Pedestrian Match
at Carson.

Carson appeal.
Most Of the persons elected to hold seats
in the present Legislature went before the
people with the banner of economy lifted
high in the air. Economy is a good deal
better when bowling in a campaign than a
thing to put into practice at a time when it
might really do some good. The session
is now drawing to a close, and the Legisla-
ture has so far passed no distinguishing
Act which will pass its name down to pos
terity and cause future generations to rise
up and call it blessed. The whole thing
smacks strongly Of a pedestrian match,
where a lot of men start briskly from the
stand and most of them disappear from
view. So with the bills. Out of nearly
300 bills introduced very few seem des-
tined to hold out to the homestretch.
The seem to lose themselves like q river
in the Sink Of the Carson; they disappear
in committees, get %pigeon-holed here and
there, or sent off somewhere for amend
ments, and that is the last heard Of them.
Bills, which, if passed, might do the gen.
eral mass of taxpayers some good, have
to fight their uncertain way along the
track, but q bill gotten up for some special
individual, or for some clique OF connubia-
tors, strikes m astonishing burst of speed
and comes under the wire as fresh as q
daisy. Some of the members complain,
and Justly too, that it is almost impossible
to pass a bill unless you combine with
some other fellows scheme and swap off
support. About 10 days have been lost in
unnecessary speeches and useless parlia-
mentary w%rangles.

A Monument for Gridlcy.

The Grand Army Of the Republic on the
Pacific Coast is making an effort to raise
funds to build a suitable monument over
the grave Of "Gridley." who endeared
himself to every soldier by his patriotic
labors in behalf Of the Sanitary Commits
sion during the war. His sack Of flour has
passed into history. 1t was the means Of
raising $3.50, 900 for the Commission, and
thousands Of manned and helpless soldiers
were in one way or another relieved by it.
Gridley was a Nevadan and lived at Aus
tin. He was an enthusiastic Union man.
Being in fair financial circumstances he
put up a sack Of flour at auction, the pro-
ceeds to be donated to the Commission.
Several bids were made by citizens OF Aus
tin, but none were satisfactory to Gridley,
and he finally bid $500 for it himself and
it was knocked down to him. He left his
business and went West with the -four,
and then to the East. At Gold Hill, it
will be remembered, the Superintendent
of the Yellow Jacket gave $4,000 for the
bag, and then sold it again, the proceeds
all going into the Sanitary Fund Grid
ley, in his great zeal for Others in a time
when the nations life hung by a thread,
neglected and sacrificed his own business.
He returned to Austin only to find HIM
self a ruined man. Some time ago he
died at Stockton, California, whittier he
had removed, and he now lies buried
there with only a plain headboard to des-
ignate his last resting place. Nevada was
proud OF Gridley's labors, and 1t ia be-.
iieved her people will second the efforts of
the Grand Army in carrying out the pro-
ject in view. To this end . committee
from Upton Post has been appointed to
solicit contributions. The committee has
placed a box In the Postofice. where dona-
lions can be left. However small the
amount, it will 60 to make a respectable
sum total. Therefore put in your small

An Assault Upon Judge McKinstry.
SAN Francisco. Feb. 2S.-Yesterdsy af-

named J. B. Cox. just before meeting
with his assailant Judge McKinstry had
left the bench and was walking down the
street with a politician named p. s. Reilly,
when they entered the Baldwin Hotel.
Cox suddenly ran out from behind the
door and grasped Judge McKinstry rudely
by the shoulder, and whirling him around
said: s'You low lived liar; you lied when
you signed that paper" AT the same time

slungshot, which he held in his right hand.

The Death OF Cole.


Lyman w. A. Cole died at Hope Valley,
Rhode Island, Feb. Is. He was a soldier
under Gen. Conner in Utah during the
Rebellion, belonging to Co. A. Third CAL
ifornia Infantry. After the war he was
connected with the Salt Lake Vedette, a
paper owned by Gen. Conner. The writer,
who worked shoulder to shoulder with the
old veteran, knew him we'll, and grieves to
hear that his elaine Of patriotism" has
ceased to burn. The Salt Lake Tribune
In its obituary notice states that "the
life Of deceased was so frequently
threatened by the Mormons that he was
finally obliged to lake an path that ne
would leave the city" in order to save his
life, That his life, and the life of all
those who were employed on the vedette,
was in constant peril we admit. but Mr..
Cole was not a man to be cowed by
threats. He was every inch a soldier. who
would have sacrifce ed his life in the streets
Of Salt Lake City had the SANITY blood
hounds followed too close in his wake.
Only three men ever left the Vedette
through fear OF personal violence from the
M~brmons-I. NJ. Weston (the ediior), W.
Kinney (foreman), and "Salty" Boardman
(compositor). Weston was nearly beaten
to death by a Mormon mob who waylaid
him at midnight, and while in q helpless
condition q promise was exacted from him,
on pain Of instant death il he refused to
give it, that he would leave Utah within
is hours. He kept his promise. 1t is but
simple Justice to the memory OF the de-
ceased to say that he took no oath, and was
not driven from Utah by the threats OF the
polygamous cut-throats who, during his
period Of residence, wallowed In GENTLE
blood. Mr.. Cole left Salt Lake OF his wi
accord and without fear, and the Tribune
should not even afford the priesthood the
slicht satisfaction OF having driven one OF
Gen. Connor's soldiers from Utah by
THREATS.

A DANGEROUS BEGINNING.
The Reese River Reveille On the
Passage of the A~ssessOrs' Bill.

Saturdays Reveille sounded the alarm
about the unprecedented action of increas-
ing the term Of Office Of tue Assessors of
this State two years longer han they were
elected for. We know it is too late to
hope to kill the bill, unless Governor
Adams recognizes the importance of stop
ping it with q timely veto, but we do want
to sound the alarm. A dangerous prece-
dent will thus be established, and who
can tell where it will end? Who knows
how long we may be electing our officers
for two years from now? Just suppose
the Sheriffs, or Clerks. or Recorders, or
any other officers in this State, club to-
gether and put up a few hundred dol
lars each to be used by the lobby, is
there any reason why they could not
continue their term indefinitely? The
door has been opened, and a grave innova-
ton made upon the rights of the people in
this Assessor matter which demands sharp
words and prompt action. We have con-
versed with two-thirds of the business men
of Austin about this Ubiquitous measure
and have not found one h indorses the
unparalleled ~action-not one. All con-
denim it as an outrage. Even the county
officers view it with distrust, not knowing
whether to expect to be legislated out of
office or to have it increased in salary
and term. 1t now becomes a lottery, not
only for the people, but also for them.
What if the next County Conventions
should decide to put up candidates for
those offices and should elect new Asses
sors. who would be the officers-those con-
tinued by the Legislature or those elected
by the people? Remember, the people are
above all Legislatures, and when they are
outraged the d%alinquents are visited with
an emphatic oblivion. We wish We mad
known Of this thing a week Don
But it is now too late to do any good.
The bill has been sneaked through both
Houses, and we fear the Governor will
sign it. Nor is there time enough left to
hope to undo the mischief. Fortunately
the Eleventh Session Of the LEGISLATURE has
but a few more days Of life. Bat short as
its time is, it can do much mischief. The
Reveille does not love that body overmuch.
