The darkest hour is just before day,
and this State has begun to see the
break Of dawn. For some years express
sions of fear for the future and positive
despair for the present have been regard
ed as evidence Of clear.headed business
forecast and impartial judgement, but
the dear people who were misled by in
sincere forebodings Of interested Pessi-
mists are beginning TO open their eyes
and see that the clouds were but the
misty breath OF croakers who to further
their own ends made as gloomy, as pos
sible, the picture they draw OF the al
fairs of Nevada. Almost all the de.
spondency and decentralization arose
from the bleating Of calves who suck
their milk from the commonwealth tit
and who TO retain their hold upon pop.
ular good will adopt the always easily
chorused cry of hard times. They
have talked reform, retrenchment and
the imminencc Of bankruptcy OF re-
source until it has become fashionable
to believe that all Nevada values are
fictitious. In the face of this, and
while the doleiul chant still jars upon
the nerves of enterprising men who do
not give up under the pressure OF their
neighbours blues, the entire State is
slowly but surely again putting on its
good clothes ond while the extravaganza
of former times will not be repeated,
the substantial character of the bust
ness and the great positive resources OF
each and every county, are making peo-
pie feel that the ghost of insolvency
was nothing after all but old political
rags hung out 10 frighten foolish states
men and politicians. Business is as
suming steady and reliable character.
Mines that are actually valuable are
finding purchasers, prospectors are de-
veloping new deposits of minerals, all
over the State, and when uext it is
learned that times are good, ii will be
found that there is no danger of re-
lapse. The lessons of the past have
been valuable, and the increase of
wealth which will in a short time be
shown by the State will be Of the kind
that does not disappear under the
scrutiny of statistics Of actual value.

A Sad Death.

In Philadelphia recently at a Coro-
ner's inquest over the BODY OF child,
the jury returned a verdict that death
was caused by the administration OF a
patent cough syrup, containing morphia.
DR.. Samuel X. Cox, Of Washington,
states that not one cough medicine in
ten is free from this objection. After
careful analyses and practical tests he
endorses Red Star Cough Cure as being
purely vegetable, absolutely free from
opiates, poisons and narcotics. He re-
CARDS it as most happy and valuable
discovery.

THE PANAMA TROUBLE.

The openly expressed fear of the
Central Americans that they could not
maintain an orderly and stable Govern
ment without foreign countenance and
protection has been justified by the late
bloody doings Ofthe insurgents at Colon.
The desire of that people that the
United States should assume the pro-
tectorate OF their country and thus give
security to life and property will now
be stronger than ever, and the PROPOSE
ton will be urged upon the State De-
partment with proportionate assiduty.
1t Is but fair to ourselves that America
seeing the necessity OF outside interior
ence should go to the rescue. Should
the same application be made to any of
the great European powers the favora.
BILE response would be prompt and a
hold gained which would not soon be
released. Our policy is to prevent COM
plications of that kind, and friendly &C.
cupation by America would be followed
in time by voluntary annexation. 1t is
true that at present the population is
not of the class which will make desirea.
bic citizens for the Republic, but Amer.
lean manners, customs and propenslties
would rapidly disseminate themselves
under the favoring influences Of occu-
patton and protection and when the time
came for annexation population great
ly American in personnel, and almost en-
tirely so in spirit. would come to the
shelter Of the stars and stripes.
