cepting the compliments of the season.
A few of the inner circle are counting

f)r the future. In other words, the
big festival ia over, and everybody
is glad of it. 1t was big
undertaking, and goes into his
tory as another success for Memphis,
laudable purpose and a big expert

wreath of victory. The event speaks
we'll for city that has surmounted go
many difficulties and in her struggles
does not neglect to cultivate taste
for the beautiful in nature, act and
character. 1t inspires our people
with a spirit of self.reliance,
and of progress. 1t illustrates the
advantages of concentrated effort in
any great purpose or undertaking, and
will command the respect and ad-
miration of the outside world. But
we cannot afford to rest upon our
laurels. If VIC stop at all it must be
only for a moment to lay out other

There is plenty to do yet, and
very little time for rest this side of the
sweet repose in Elmwood's cool shades.
Every hour, every day, every season
has its duty, its cares and demands
The festival work was done we'll, but
the energies Of brain and hand, heart,
nerve and muscle that made it a sue
cess, are in demand as much as ever.
Memphis is moving along, improving,
developing, and working out the probN

WAITING FOR GAGE.

The session of the present
Legislature is now half over anc
not a single vote has been taken
relative to bills framed for the
purpose Of reducing the exerbi-
tant rates of freight in vogue for
Nevada patrons Of the Central
Pacific Railway Company. The
Committee to which these bills
have been referred still holds the
bills in their possession, alleging
as an excuse that they had
promised Nj. .Stere cage. the
lobbyist Of the c. p, that they
,rould not report on the bills an
til he had returned from q lobby-
ing trip to Sacramento, where
similar railway bills are under
consideration. The APPEAL
does not deny the right of Mr..
Gage to personally appear before
Corporation Committee and
present such arguments against
the passage of bill as he may
have at his disposal. We do not
for a moment, however, admit
that Mr.. Gage has logical argu-
ment to present which can ex-
cuse corporation worth $780,
100000 in its efforts to bank
rupt the State of Nevada. No
arguments, no matter how plaus-
IDLY put or artfully defended
can justify greed, avarice and
systematic spoliation of one 10
caIity to enrich another. We
assert without any shadow Of a
chance to be successfully contra
dicted that MIR. Cages presence
before the Legislature at this
time is simply to give traitors to
the people chance to fall
down easily under a hypecritical
pretense Of being convinced that
it is Just and right for Leland
Stanford and his sOulless ass0-
ciates to fix such rates as shall
paralyze forever the business
interests of Nevada. During
the entire course of legislation
the converts to tie policy OF
the California railroad managers
seem to overlook the important
fact that tn ey are all pledged to
their constituents to vote fol
the very measures contemplated
in these bills. They have nc
choice in the matter at all.
They are simply the agents OF
their constituents and are here
simply and solely to carry out
the will of their constituents as
expressed in tn cir platforms.
They simply hold the proxies Of
those who elected them and are
here under instructions. Why
are these men so careful to re.
member the promises made tt
Mr.. Steve Gage and so qnick t.
forget the much more solemn
pledges made to the people o
this State. Who is Mr.. Gage
From what county of Nevad;
does he hail ? Does he belong
to the Senate Or Assembly or dt
these bodies Belong to him
His name does not appear OF
the roll calls as a memkcr or a
attache, or State otfic er. Yet b.
some unaccountable means, no
body seems able to vote on ;
measure of public interest unit
Mr.. Gage gets back from Cali
fornia. Is he here to usurp tn,
powers of the Executive ant

seems just at present to be Gov

4 Defense Of the Girls.

The young mans reason for not
marrying, says an exchange, is that
girls are SO extravagant and costly.
This has been the regulation story for
years. The fact is that the average
young man who drifts into a poor. but
genteel clerkship, when he should 90
into the workshop, is not able to get
together enough money to take care
OF himself. He could not undertake.
the support of the most economical
girl, and he seeks to excuse his weak
ness by untruthful railing at the Young
women. AS a matter of fact, the
young women of this day are showing
Il much more useful tendency than the
young men. They are seeking work
and supporting themselves, in most
instances with better Judgment and
more courage than is displayed bv
the average young man. Perhaps the
practice among young people of get
ting married can be resumed again
some time, if the young mep will cult
vate economical habits and make it
possible for the Young women to sup
port husbands.
