The Nevada Territorial Enterprise
admits the virtual collapse of that state.
The population is conceded to be scarce
ly 100000, and is daily decreasing. That
journal suggests as a means of arresting
the depopulation of the country that
the general government shall give the
public domain in its borders to the
state, so each man may have, without
cost, a ranch, and then an extensive
system of irrigation he adopted to make
some of the land arabic ut the national
expense. As Nevada has "come to stay"
these means are urged to prevent the
state from falling under the control of
the Digger Indians. White folks must
be bribed to remain in zone of the most
desolcte and barren regions on Gods
earth" To this complexion have things
come in Nevada. A state represented
in Washington by two Senators, that
has only 100000 people and only IL, 900
voters is a disagreeable anomaly.

Complaints are often made of blum
dering legislation. In New York in
1883, ~forty-fve bills were recalled from
the executive chamber after their final
passage, to be revised and corrected.
In 1884 fifty bills were thus recalled.
Great inconvenience and loss have more
than once resulted from undetected err
rors which have crept into the legisla-
ton to be discovered only after the laws
had gone into effect. In view of these
facts, Gov. Hill of New York, recon-
mends the appointment CT a competent
person as Legislative counsel, whose du-
ty it shall be to revise all bills before
their final passage. in order to detect
errors and lm~perfections. Some checks
are needed to prevent laundering. but
each house is supposed to have commit
lees especially for that purpose.

A correspondent of the Providence
Journal takes q very serious view of
church fair lotteries, and in discussing
them remarks: Il suppose there is no
vice more destructive of the moral sense
than is that of the indulgence of q desire
to obtain property by chance rather than
by honest labor, Or by returning for il
an equivalent in money, In the annals
Of crime there is abundant evidence
that uchindulgence becomes an appetite
which in time, leaves its victim wholly
without the power of s%elf-control, and
like drunkenness, sinks him into the
wickedness and the misery of a wretched
and ruined life.

Governor Hill, of New York, who
has succeeded Prcsident-e elect Cleve-
land in that State, has made q sugges-
tion to the Legislature in his message
that deserves attention. THE present
mode of executing criminals by hang
ing" he says, "has come down to lis from
the dark ages, and it may we'll be ques-
toned whether the science of the pres
ent day can not provide q means for
taking the life Of such as are condemned
to die in a less barbarous manner" This
suggestion has brought forth o food of
methods for the execution Of criminals,
otherwise than by hanging, most of
which favor electricity in various forms,
while a few favor prison.

AMENDING INCORPORATION LAWS.

q deposit on the part of foreign insurance
companies of $4,000 with the territorial
treasurer before any business is transacted.
l understand that the insurance companies
very generally concluded to abandon the
Dakota field when this law was enacted, but
refrained from doing SO when section 46,
which seems to apply only to boiler and acct
dent insurance companies and which per-
mits the 900 deposit to be made in Il
state where the company was organized, was
interpreted by the auditor to apply to all

probation may seem strained, but examina-
ton will show the meaning TO be somewhat
ambiguous. and it is quite probable that a

state of affairs existing unon my arrival in

Almost The llfsC matter that required my
attention after assuming the duties of the
governors office was the question OF repre-
sentation at the New Orleans exposition. 1t
seemed very difficult to go into the exhibit,
and equally embarrassing to stay out. Every
state and territory in the Union was to make
a display more or less elaborate. and for Da-
kota to attempt to compete without making
q show commensurate with her importance
appeared as undesirable as to make none ut
all. On the other hand there was no appro-
p%riation available, times were hard, money
scarce and a general disposition manifest to
economic as much as possible. Finally a
circular letter was issued from the executive
Office recounting the facts, and asking the
various counties of the territory to con-
tribute, in their discretion, a sun which in
the aggregate would enable the commission
to make a creditable display. The circular
letter was issued in time to permit the ques-
ton to be submitted TO a vote of the people
OF the various counties, should the commits
necessary. The boards which acted upon
the matter decided it generally, 1 believe,
without referring it to a vote. and in many
cases where the decision was against the up
preparation, or there was doubt as to the
matter, contributions were made through the
power of the county board to pass upon the
enterprise of private parties who guaranteed
notes in amount proportionate to the allot-
ment of their respective counties. With this
guarantee and the amount allowed the ter
