LET u ALONE.


adelphia Prey are advocating the
expulsion Of Nevada from the Union
at least, that is what it amounts to, as
Nevada is not prepared to return to
Territorial Government. The alleged
ground of the demand is the fact that
We WELD too much political power
according to our population. The few
etus left here are beginning to realize
the fact that the millions of treasure
sent broadcast over the Union from
our mountain.ribbed State could have
been better employed at home. Now
that the stream of gold and silver has
been temporarily shut off, and good
many OF our people have been CON-
PEELED to seek bread in other fields, we
ere called upon to pull down our star
from the country's nag and allow our
selves TO be set back in the position of
twenty years ago, Had one per cent
Of the money sent to other States been
invested H. internal Improvements,
there would be no occasion for this
wall from the East. Had one monthly
dividend from the Con. Virginia and
California mines been appropriated to
the sinking Of artesian wells in our
numerous fertile valleys, the Eastern
critics would have found no occasion
70 give us their bypocritical sympathy.
Even as it is, we are not asking for any
Of their profiered advice. 1t is true
that We are poor, but we can econo-
rize a little and be able to get along
without any help from our neighbors.
The INSULTING fling Of the Philadel-
phia Press, in calling our. State a.
s pocket borough comes, with very
had grace from the Cameron.ridden
State, and its proposition to, unite us TO-
California and then cut up the latter.
meets the contempt it is receiving from
both States.
The San Francisco CAL says: This
equality of the States in the Senate was
. condition without which the Union
would never have been formed. The
small States had lively and correct
appreciation Of the tendency of large
bodies to concentrate power in them
salges. The, StaseS small in territory
as weff as inpopHlation stipulated that
their. power In the Senate, as repre-
scented in votes, should be equal to that
of the States whose extent of territory
permitted much greater increase in
population. But there are other
respects than in votes that political
power may be exercised. New York,
With but two Senators, absorbs more
Federal patronage than ten States like
Nevada. Their patronage. does not
count directly in the yeas and nays,
hpt it does indirectly. A. Senator who
AAs ., thousand. good places at his dis
posaf can, generally win from one to
Ten votes to his side of any question in
which he takes especial interest. The
custom has sprung up under the infiu-
ence of the great States of dividing
Federal patronage among the States
