: lie STATE PEE i = q y
TROY Bile.

Several State papers have al
legged that there was recently an
outbreak at the State Prison, and
tax the Carson newspapers with
a lack Of enterprise in not furnish
ing the public with the news. In
connection with this matter we will
state that there was such a rumor
in Carson, and that an APPEAL re-
porter asked Warden Bell to fur
nish the paper with particulars.
He stated positively that nothing
Of the kind had happened and
that there had been no trouble.
The story, he said, originated from
an instance where it had become
necessary to enforce prison disci-
pline by Furnishing . convict. AS it
now stands it is simply question
Of veracity with Warden Bell and
anonymous correspondents.

a wIDEsPREA.S DISGUST.

The disgust over Cleveland's
nomination has reached the Sand
wich Islands. The Hawaiian says:
The news of the nomination of
Cleveland and Hendricks is not en-
tirely satisfactory even to the De-
mocrats of Honolulu. The strength
of the ticket real y lies in the name
of Hendricks, for however ear
nestly the Democratic bosses OF
New York and Brooklyn may ap-
pear to fall into line, the nomina-
ton of Cleveland is distasteful to
them. 1t was Of course evidenced
by John Kelly and his henchmen
leaving the hall in disgust after
Cleveland was nominated. He
stated afterward that he would
support the ticket, but that means
nothing. Cleveland has no past
political record of the slightest i'm
portance, and is an unpleasant pill
for the party to swallow. The Dem
ocratic party wanted to give the
Republicans strong political dose
Of blue mass in the persons of Bay
ard or Thurman, and they can only
offer them some mild rhubarb in
the person of Grover Cleveland.
His veto of the fye-cent railroad
bill proved him to be a corporation
tool.

ADVERTISING THE CONS2l
TUyTIONAL AMENDMEKT

In accordance with the law the va
rious amendments to the Constltu-
ton passed by the Legislature have
been advertised that the people OF
the State may read them, and be
able to vote upon them intelligently
at the next election. On account
Of the smallness Of the advertising
appropriation the Board were only
able to advertise them in one news
paper and chose the Enterprise.
While there can be no fault found
with the Board for this step, as the
funds at their disposal would not
warrant any other course, it would
seem that it would be necessary to
advertise the amendment in at least
one newspaper in every county II
the object of advertising them at
all was to be attained. 1t can not
be urged successfully that the en-
tire mass of voters can be reached
by an advertisement in . single
newspaper.
We would suggest that the Board
ask at least one newspaper in each
county to publish the amendment,
with the special understanding that
the publishers depend upon re-
lief bill from the next Legislature
for their pay, and in the event OF
no such bill being passed, that
they have no further claims upon
the State. Under such circum-
stances we believe that no Legisla-
ture would refuse to appropriate
the sum necessary to accomplish
the object contemplated by law, Of
giving the voters of Nevada full
information upon the subject OF
the Constitutional Amendments.
The changing of the Constitution
of the State is grave matter. and
the adoption or rejection of these
amendments may cost the State
directly a thousand times more
than the price of this advertising,
and indirectly, occasion injuries
which can only be repaired by long
and tedious legislation. We hope
to see this matter fully canvassed
and discussed, as it is one of vastly
more importance to the people than
the few hundred dollars the adver-
Using would give the newspapers

Advice to Young sportsmen

Always bear in mind that It is the
muzzle of a gun that is dangerous
therefore, never allow the muzZle to
point toward yourself or any other per-
son.
Never put your hand over the muEEle
of q gun, nor allow another person to
handle your gun while it is loaded.
Use q breech loading gun with Re
bounding hammers. A muZEle-loeding
gun is both announcement and dangerous
to load.
HAmmerless guns are beautiful and
convenient weapons, but they are not f1t
for boys to use, especially boys who are
just beginning to shoot.
Ii you are hunting in company with
others, be careful aud courteous, always
rsfrsining from shooting at birds that
are flushed nearer to your companion
than to you, and do not allow your gun
under any circumstances to point at, OF
in the direction of, any human being.
Open your gun at the breech and take
out both shells before climbing over a
fence, getting into wagon, going into
house. or handing The gun To persons
not used to fire. arms.
Never drag q gun toward you muzzle
foremost.
Treat an unIoaded gun with the same
care that you would use in handling q
loaded one. II did not know 1t was
loaded" has caused many terrible acct
dents.
It Is best to thoroughly clean aud dry
a gun alter II has been used all day, and
when not IN use it should be kept In g

Never shoot st harmless and worth
less birds just to try your hand" Most
small birds are pretty. some OF them
sing swSetly, and nearly all of them are
useful as Insect-destFoyers. 1t Is brutal
to kill them for any other than scientific
OF artistic purposes.
When out hunting, observe every
thing, so as to remember the minutest
details of visible nature. knowledge
thus gathered is invaluable.

be very cautious in thick covert. as there
