Quite q Difference,

On one side of Carson street, in
the city Of Carson, Nevada, is 10
Gated the building occupied by
Judge Sabin, United States District
Judge for the State, who gets S3,-
900 a year for his services. Just
across this street is located the
State Capitol, in which sit our Su-
preme Judges. who get $1,000
year each. Now why should the
latter be paid more than double
what the former gets? Certainly
the different locations should not
make such a difference. Even if
the bill which has been introduced
to raise Judge Sabin's salary to So
900 becomes a law the difference is
too great. It should be adjusted in
some shape. Probably the fact
that Judge Sabin is in for life and
had no election expenses to pay
may have something 20 do with it.
Our Supreme judges are elected
for six years, however, and get
S42 600 for an outlay of say $4,000.

"WIll you give me a quarter to get something to est?' asked a seedy-lOok- ing man of the report T.
 "Oh, certainly" replied the reporter, who at once began to monkey with the continuation of his private safe-all the reporters of the CITIZEN have private safes--it Is cheaper to keep a private safe with a combination than to buy silk makeup wgrdrObes. "Takc this" said the reporter, handing the man Q piece Of coin-with a hole in 1t -'aud relieve the cravings of your thin-built stomach
 A glossy tear gl;stened on the sun burnt cheek of the poor fellow as he took the coin and hesitaiing for mo- ment he inquired: My good young mau, haven't I met you;" The reporter admitted that such was probably the case, as he had met Gen. Grant, Gen. sherman and general misfortune
 But" said be. II have formed your acquaintance and 1t was years ago. You were a guest at ny house n Lamar, Mo, nine years ago. It was to me then a happy home, and tears rolled from both his eyes.
 The reporter took second glance at the unhappy man and recognized m him a gentleman who four years ago owned oIe of the largest dry goods stores n Lamar, Missouri. and who had one ot the cosiest homes il that State nca wbi,e cnttare m a beautiful grove of oak trees almost embOwercd m roses and h0EeysUckles- It vas most delightful home, aut the crOwulnR ornaments were a lCvIug wife and a h4ppv little daughter, whose sunny .outh and merry laughter radltted aIhwart the inviting little domain. When the reporter alluded Co these happy remambrGnces the poor. haggard man hung his head. and after few sObs told his story. It Was a short one, and might have been shorter He began spending his evenings m the billiard halls. then he got Co be fsvOrite ID se- feet poker games, and then he began tO take wine and other stlmulants to make him forget his duty to hls lOTIng httie family. When be began tO drink he fell. and in less than two years his store was m the hGnis oi the Sheriff, his wife had taken thei- daughter and gone Co the home ot her parents, and ha was simply piece oi saruy drIttvO0d on the sen If life. He came west, but has no, made n success, and K how bereft ot ambition. He has worked Gs B section hand on the railr al, washed dishes ID railroad camp, and held the po-ltion 0f engineer Of a shovel on the grade He came Co Tucsoa penui.tss, and Is now looking for any position m which he can make enough to board and cloths hln- self.

lHEEE are l3 32j newspapers published ia the United States. It is safe 10 say '"o-tllrds of this number belong to the hepuo.ican faith. There are, according to Democratic newspapers, Is Republi- can papers who are disafTec.ed over the Incarnation oi James G. Blaine. Those eighteen gre confined 10 Massachusetts and New York.

The meas Ire Of their influence with the Republl- e'n party Is comparatively light. Re plpi.an voters are, as R rule, about 1S intelligent as the editors of party papers or leaders, and n sore-head has less influence with them than m inteili- gent Democrat. The latter may get an Almssion occasionally, the former hardly ever." We have such little 'Alta Tn these journals of large circula- Ion and worldwide fame, that we do not believe they will stick to the posi- lion they have assumed, but gradually get into the ranks again.

NorwITHsTASDISs the fact It Is boil ing hot and quiet times, it seems to Us We might be able to get up lI;tle en- thusiasm over the Fourth of July ald celebrate that time honored day. True it has been long time since the British flag struck its colors and the stars and stripes waved all over this land wher- ever inhabited proclaiming freedom from British tyrany, still the rememb- rances of that great event gieaned from school books. and from heroic tales oft told by grand sires, etc, should kindle in young hearts enough fire to get up little smoke and fire cracker bust on the 4th day of July. We are wiling to help to fire the hearts of our people to a limited extent. if others will d. their share. and maybe a little Ieayen will swell the lump and who knows bu. We might have a biz time.

Dlyy Crockett.

David Crockett created quite stir during the Jackson administration. He had served under "Oid Hickory" in the Indian wars, and he was famous Tn Ten Eessee as a bear hunter, but in politics ho was a Whig, and wRs made a great deal of by the Eastern members of that party. He was neither grammatical nor graceful, but no rudeness of language can disguise strong sense and shrewd- ness, and demonstration" as Bulwer says, twill force it's way through all tho perversiOns Of grammar" He was true frontiersman, with a small dash of civilization, transplanted to the soil of political life. some one undertook to publish his life, but he promptly denled the authenticity of the work, and had a true memoir oi himself written and published When Texas commenced its struggle for independence Crockett went there and was killed while fighting at San AntiO de Bexar. His son, John W. Crockett, served two terms in Con- gress, was Attorney General of Tennes- see, and died at Memphis Tn lSj2-Ben Perley Moore.

THERE IS no use, seSse or reason to attempt to inaugurate public enterprises in this section of country at the present. Disasters have left us all poor and blsi- ness Is light, and it would be folly to ask the business men Of the town to subscribe to enterprises Of any charac- ter just now, and if any one has a pro- iect We advise him to go outside and in duce capital to invest. We feel certain that there are enterprises now under way If properly presented to capitalists and men of pluck, they would take hold and complete. Con- hdenes In the future prosperity of our town, section and territory is what our people want. Many of them lack this important "ingredio1;~ to make a success. There is no occasion to cry down your own community and pretend to your neighbor that you are only wait ing for favorable opportunity to get into Gods country.
