made but the replies contained no nu-
triment and were to the effect that owing
to some change in the firm the contract
was by them considered null and void.
About two months ago this same COM
pany had the cheek 10 write to us and
ask what our charge would be for an
cad" TO be the same as before and to
run one year. Our reply was, that
when the old account was settled we
would talk business. No reply was re-
ceived, and we have concluded to give
the Victor Gous) Anger Company this

it will be the means of preventing them
from getting their auger into any more

STILL WORKING.

When the County Convention in Sto-
Tey county was called last October a
resolution was adopted that candidates
for the Assembly and Senate should
promise to stand in for measure which
would consolidate Storey, Ormsby,
Douglass and Lyon counties. Those
receiving the nomination all pledged
themselves To this act, but shortly be.
fore election, probably to catch few
votes, this resolution was rescinded by
the County Central Committee of Storey
county. The-idea was to get their men
elected. They had already promised to
work for this measure and it made no
difference then whether the resolution
was rescinded Or not. The Enterprise
stated that it was owing to the fact that
they had been made aware that Doug
lass and Lyon counties did not want to
consolidate, and that the measure was
unfavorably looked upon in Ormsby,
that the resentment was made. The
idea probably was to seemingly put an
end to the matter. However, it is un-
.derstood that there is still being an ef-
fort made to consolidate. 1t is a move
that is looked upon unfavorably by
every person in this county; Douglass
does not approve of it; and Ormsby will
not stand it unless she thinks there is
some show for her to secure the county
seat. The most substantial reason for
not wishing 10 consolidate is that there
would be an extra taxation put upon the
people. When the new county was
formed there would be one rate of tax
alton; and there would still be another
rate to pay up the debt each county
owed before consolidating. 1t would
be we'll for the members from the east
.ern part Of the State to understand that
the people Of the western part do not
want any consolidation, for ,he chances
are that bill to this effect will be pre-.
sented and a trial made to lobby it
through. o.. r.... .s,.-.-

As 1T IS.

Considerable fuss is being made by
Eastern journals because the little State
of Nevada has two Senators and has SO
much power in the Senate. These pa
pers imagine because our State is not
turning out millions of dollars in bull.
lion every month that she is bankrupt.
The prosperity Of the State is certainly
not as great as it was when the Comstsck
mines were pouring forth streams Of bull
lion, but for all that there are resources
in the State when once brought out that
will again place her in very nearly as
good a condition as she ever was. There
are still numerous good mineral pros.
poets, but the agricultural and manu-.
featuring interests are what need devel.
oping to place us on good sound footing,
California was at one time in as bad a
condition as Nevada is now. That was
when there was no attention paid to
stock raising or manufacturing, and
when the mining industry was on the
decline. To-day see where she is.
There is plenty of frst-class agricultu-
raj land in this State, and there are
many good openings for manufacturers.
So far farming in this State has not been
carried on systematically, but has been
conducted in slip!shod manner by
what might be called prospecting ranch,
ers. With our stock raising, agricultu-
raj and manufacturing industries being
conducted an true business principles
there is no necessity of anyone becoming
discouraged with the outlook. 1t is true
that we have rather expensive State
government TO support, but in time this
evil will be remedied. Should there
again be any large bodies of rich ore
fovnd in this country, hsw quickly these
papers that are advocating some step by
which to throw US out would turn
around and praise US. Give Nevada
FIVE years time and if she is then not in
q good healthy condition financially,
there will be some cause to growl about
her having too much representation at
Washington.

San MARCOS COUNTY TEXAS THURSDAY

able concern among politicians and
presidential aspirants. Mr.. Medill'a
political career has boon very eccen-
trio and, recognizing accountability
TO no one, he fools at liberty TO change
his mind and shift his political anchor
age wherever he likes. But his good
nature is proverbial, and he is always
roady to "kiss and make up" with .
political opponent At ono time he
was an ardent admirer Of General
Grant, and they were great chums,
but for the last four or Ave years
their relations have been otherwise.
For years and Logan Medill were at
swords points. But when Logan
lost the later Ocean, which had been
his organ for years, he made up with
Medill, and they have since been
quito intimate. In 1868 Medill
supported Grant for the presidency,
in 1872 he abandoned him and went
over to the Liberals in support OF
Greeley, and in 1875 he fought
Blaine with the greatest bitterness.
He started out in this campaign Civ
ing q hearty support to Logan, but
since he came to Washington he has
abandoned Logan and joined the
Blaine boomers,giving Logans friends
q ft Of the blues. This conquest Of
Mr.. Blaine is the result OF the "per-
sonal magnetism" about which 80
much has been said. Medill had not
been at the Arlington Hotel twenty
four hours before Blaine called upon
him. It was an unusual thing for
the ex-Secretary to do, but it was not
without effect Medill dined at the
Marcy mansion, Blaine's residence,
the next day, and since then he and
Blaine have been much together,
advising and consulting about Mr..
Blaine's book, perhaps. LENox.

or and judge, the prachcability o.
this policy becomes apparent Pub
lio creditors can get no money from
the treasury because II is always
bankrupt or at least 80 represented
notwithstanding the custom-house re
ceipts on importations are moro thar
enough 10 pay the army for which
purpose they are specially set apart
On the occasion alluded TO some
twenty regular soldiers stationed at
Santa Fe, were thrown into prison
and loaded with irons % malcontenta
for refusing to receive their wages
in corn from Armijos granary at four
dollars q paHeza-a measure contain.
ing about two bushels-whsn they
could purchase in the market for
cash ct one third of the price. This
outrageous act Of tyranny created an
unwonted excitement against its au-
thor, 30 much 30 that he found 1t
necessary to resort to o specious
kind Of trickery, a display OF disin-
terestedness, to allay the popular
clamor. He advertised for the low
est bidder to furnish the soldiers with
corn. But this Mexican display Of
honesty neither deceived nor satisf-
cd even his stupid countrymen for
they declared that no one but Armijo
could take the contract at any price,
as the insolvent government never
paid any creditor but him. Thus the
matter remained just as it had began,
and just as the patriotic governor in
tended it should, with this exception
the manifestations of discomfort
became more open and threatening.
Two young officers of the army, in
particular, had fallen under the ban
of the Governors displeasure before,
and were now suspected Of having
used their influence in fomenting the
disaffection, that seemed general
among the soldiers. His hatred Of
these young and meritorious officers
had its origin in an afaire damoar,
which, as it exhibits new phase in
the multiplex character of Armiio-
multiplex in oil that is corrupt and
debasing-I will here relate.
