Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1885-10-01
A FINAL SETTLEME NT.

-
PEAL office that the State Control.
Ter had finally consented to take
some legal advice upon the validity
of the judgment rendered by the
District Court and had drawn the
warrant in favor of the APPEAL
for $l3O which included the amount
claimed and portion of the costs
Of the suit. When the editor OF
the APPEAL called for the warrant
Nr. Hallock was no longer at the
counter to protest the claim, but
was busily engaged in attending to
ether business in a remote corner
Of the room. A polite and obliging
deputy, however, was on deck and
lifting the warrant out of a tin box
assed it oyer the counter. The
fight made by Adams and Hallock
has been a particularly stubborn
and losing one.
We do not blame the Governors
however, for trying his best to keep
official patronage away from a Re
publican newspaper. Hallock's
course, however, places him before
the people in a particularly bad
light az Treasury Watchdog"
The case has cost the State, in
attorneys fees, Court costs, etc,
about three times the amount Of
the original bill, and for a bristling
Treasury watchdog" this is par
tieularly bad showing.
The most ludicrous aspect: Of the
ease, however, lies in the fact that
Mr.. Hallock took State money to
employ an outside attorney to break
down a legal stand taken by the
salaried attorney Of the State, there
by ignoring the functions, rights
and opinions Of the Attorney Gen.
eral.
Section 2774 Of the compiled laws
provides that the Attorney General
shall prosecute or defend all causes
to which the State may be party.
Mr.. Hallock employed an outside
attorney to defend the case on the
grounds that the Attorney General
had already passed an opinion upon
it. According to a common sense
way Of thinking, the fact that the
Attorney General had given his
opinion in the case would be suf-
fcient warrant for Mr.. Hallock to
retire.
Section 2775 Of the compiled
laws allows the Attorney General
to give his opinion to all State Off
GERS and the Controller is not ex-
empted from the provisions of the
statute. If the opinion of the At
torney General, in legal case, can
be ignored at the pleasure of
State officer, of what use is the Of
fee ? If State officers propose to
set up as lawyers it might seem a
good idea to abolish the Office of
Attorney General, and allow each
State officer to have little private
law library of his own.

PRESIDENTIAL POLLS.
Hair of the Occupants of the Execu.
tive Mansion from George
To Grover,
Carp in Cleveland Leader.l

Carp in Cleveland Leader.l
Here is curiosity. 1t is case containing
the hair of all the presidents, from the fine gray
lock of George Washington down to the semi
blonde one Of Garfield. This case shows that
the color of 8 mans hair is no sign as to his
presidential success. jefferson had red hair,
and we are told that he was freckled. John
Adams had the baldest head which ever rested
on the pillows of the white house.
Martin Van Buren vas also slightly bald,
but his baldnes came more to the front of his
head than Clevland's. Van Buren's hair was
beautifully wavy and he combed it well back
from the side of his face. While he was pre-
sident he wore it short, and it had become
quite gray. Some of Jefferson's portraits rep
resent him with his hair banged in front and
coming down over his forehead in the style of
the dude of to-day. Everyone knows how Jack
sons hair stood up all over his head as straight
and stiff as the quills of pOrcupine, but all
are not aware that he was as gray as badger
during his presidential term, and that his hair
as fine as the thinest strands of spun silver.
John Tyler was also fine haired, and he was q
very fine looking man. William Henry Harri-
son combed his hair well to the front of his ears,
and he was gray at the time he was elected.
Frank Pierce had thick, curly hair, which fell
down upon his forehead, and James Buchanan
kept his gray head well trimmed, combing his
hair so as to show to the full his high, open
brow Polk patterned after Jackson in comb
ing his hair stright back with hardly part, and
both Fillmore and Taylor parted their hair on
the left side of the head, while Frank Pierce
parted his boldly on the right. President
Arthur had dark hair, which was growing gray
when he left the white house. He kept it we'll
csmbed back from his face and wore it short.
President Lincoln did not pay much attention
to his hair, and most of his pictures represent
it as rather long. 1t was dark and straight.
President Cleveland's hair is brown and thin.
He wears it short and combs it up from his
forehead as though he wished to increase the
size of that part of his face. His head is bald
fat the crown, and the badness is daily increas-
ing, though he plasters his hair over ii in a
vain attempt to hide it.

SETTING TYPE.

Hark to the click
OF the types in the stick
They fall and they meet with monotO-
nous sound,
As swiftly the fingers that seize them
go round
To hurry them into the stick
With click, click.
There they are in the stick!
What do the types tell the world as they
stand?
Here il is satire; there elOquence grand.
Weak as nothing, when single, comOlheu
they command,
A wcnder-power in their click,
AS in order they march into the stick.
Look again into the stick.
To the workers of evil they sorrow be-
tide;
The cheat and oppressor in vain try to
glide
Away from the click. but the earth can
not hide
Them away from the click, click,
OF the types falling into the stick.
As they click, click, in the stick,
Monarchs and tyrants their marshaling
dread;
They know that TO freedom the types
have been wed,
And the visions they see are IN color
blood red,
And they shake at the sound Of the
click.
Hark, the noise from the stick!
Guilt flies from the sound in a tremor of
fear;
But guilt cannot hide in the day or the
night.
Though it try every method of hiding or
fight
Prom the sound of that terrible click.
Forever that click, clickl
In the gas that makes the day-shine, or
in the suns light,
That stick is forever increasing its
might,
And seeming to say: Here we stand for
the right!
Oppressors, beware of the sticki
Those gray-colored types in the stickl
States, monarchies, potentates, Pashas
and Kings,
The painter, the player, the poet who
sings,
Stand in awe of these poor, little, dull,
leaden things,
And the ominous noise of the click.
But these types in the stick
To the Just and the true all nations
around,
To the whole of mankind where the vir-
tues abound
Most welceme to such is the musical
sound
OF the types with their click.
