Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1885-10-14

ing out" the APPEAL. They play
upon the vanity Of ssne carefully
selected dupe, and induce him to
believe that he IL specially fitted to
edit the new paper, which is to
cause the APPEAL Office to be ssld
under the Sheriff's hammer inside
Of = year.
They get some short-,iEhted
party to put up the money and
launch the new enterprise and as
the columns of the hedginr journal
begin to TEEN with puerile abuse
Of the APPEAL, they rub their
hands, pat the editor on the back
and tell him to keep up his lick.
But when the collector comes
around at the end of the month to
gather IN money to keep the paper
going, he invariably finds these
gentleman either very short OF
change, or not at home. They sue
eced in inducing somebody to put
money into such 4 concern, and ex-
cite his journalistic and financial
ambition by the most bare-faced
lying, and then in the hour OF his
need, desert and betrav him.
The same irresponsible indlvld-
uals have for the past ten or twelve
years made dupcs and cats-pavs Of
half dozen men in this city whose
vanity and weakness they have art
fully played upon, and in every IN
stance they have basely betrayed
and deserted them.
1t is shame and disgrace that
men should be allowed to continue
this reprehensible practice and trap
men into sinking their time, labor
and hard earned money In such
rat-hole as that.
During the time covered by this
article. over $50, 900 has been sunk
by various individuals in the vain
endeavor to establish a new paper
In this city, which nobody wants,
and for which there is no need and
no room.
Another dodge OF this heartless
Gang is 10 continually I'll the puo
Usher Of such q sheet with the
idea that the APPEAL is about to
discontinue, and that It's publisher
hardly sleeps at night rom Worry
and trouble caused by such : red
hot and terrible opposition.
This spurs the dupe on to fresh
crdeavor. and he comes down town
every morning expecting to hear
the news that the APPEAL Office
has closed for good, and the
publisher is fleeing across the
rrachless sagebrush to escape his
Infatuated creditors.
Such a course is ike inducing
two broken down blind mules to
null a canal-boat along rocky tow
path on half feed, by making them
believe that there are comfortable
ef,b'es and good hay few rods be-
yond.
It is a species of cruelty and de-
ception that only the basest minds
can be capable Of, and one cannot
help thinking, in such instances,
that the law should step in and
protect toe poor, dumb beasts.
But still the APPEAL issues resu-
larly, enjoys large and steady CIR
culation, is still looked upon by
business men as the leading adTer-
Using medium of the city, is still
copied from the Atlantic to the
Pacific sea-board; claims against It
are still worth 100 cents on the dol
lar, and its printers get their pay
every Saturday night.
When we look back upon the
money, time. and Gin times gone
by) brains that have been wasted
in a futile endeavor to toppie the
APPEAL into oblivion, we are
overcome more by feeling of sad
ness than anger, that so much
could be tried and so little accom-
plished. These men might have,
perhaps, made shining successes III
other fields,
The APPEAL stands in the same
building where it has stood for
years, and it stands like stone
wall. In ancient times, We are
told that the noise made by an ar
my of men blowing through ram 8
horns overthrow the walls Of } ericho,
