A suL THAT SHOULD PASS.

Representative Cassidy has introduced
q bill. says the Silver State. TO grant all
United States lands. except mineral
lands, in Nevada, TO the State for irri-
eating purposes. The bill should re-
ceive the unanimous approval Of Con-
gress, and be passed under n suspension
OF the rules, without delay. Nearly all
Government lauds in the State, except
such as are now occupied under the
Homestead Act, are Of no value to the
General Government. Congress will
not appropriate money to try the expert
ment OF making them productive by
sinking artesian wells for irrigating pur-
poses, and il they are owned by the State
it might be able to make terms with
stock men and others for reclaiIning
them. II the State could offer a pre-
MUM of II section or more of land in
every valley, to any person or company
that would get flowing water from an
artesinn well on the same, il would benefit
the public by increasing the value Of adj
jacent lands as well as the taxable pro-
perry of the State.
Aside from the fact that the lands are
now valuless the General Government
owes much TO Nevada. The silver mines
OF the State nave added hundreds Of
millions OF dollars to the wealth OF the
country. and made the resumption of
specie payment nine years ago. and its
m-e:=3iinance since, possible. The stand
ard dollar, which the single standard men
81 the East effect to despise, has on
more tina one occasion prevented u run
on the National Treasury, and saved the
Government from the humiliation Of sus-
pending specie payment. The miners
OF the State have been denied the pro-
lection afforded the iron and coal pro-
ducers OF Pennsylvania and Ohio, the
copper miners OF Michigan and the lead
miners Of Wisconsin. Their principal
product commands 1t higher price at the
Government miuts than london brokers
are pleased to give for it. The State has
been denied the protection extended to
other States. aud while 1t mas done much
for the country it has no received aught
in return. Now, through its Represen-
t~atiye, it asks Congress to donate j, the
~sagehruSh plains. which are OF no value
10 the Government, and Congress cannot
do less than grant the request.
As our Legislature seems determined
to remain in session for the full time al
lowed by the Constitution, it ought To
devote AN hour some day to the passage
of " memorial to Congress to pass the
bill introduced 10y ME. Cassidy relative
10 the public lands III this State, thereby
emphasizing his request, and asking that
1t be granted ut the earliest possible day

The Sinews Of War I'm Russia

tlah
That @we have the money, too" and that
Russia has not the money was one of the
grounGs of the light heart with which the
swash hbucklers at the music halls, and the
journalists who instruct them, were eager
10 have a Russian war. The campaign was
TO 10 closed by the bankruptcy Of Russia.
But the question Of 'the money" caused as
much anxiety TO the minister OF finance IN
Russia "a il caused joy To the warlike
plumers Of The Daily Telegraph. A letter
from ST. Petersburg in The Schlesische
Z.i:ung states that when Giers and Bunge,

the czar at Gatschina. and the car talked
Of issuing an appeal TO the Russian people,

writer adds that there can lie no doubt that
the great land owners, the rich mercantile

there was the expectation Of war between
England and Austria, the Moscow mer-
