Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1885-12-24

The editorial IN yesterday s AP-
PEAL seems to have aroused the
town.
The statement that only two Off
cials were at the meeting was an
error and we knew it at the time Of
writing it. It had the desired eff
feet however, and most of the
parties alluded to felt called upon
to make considerable of a row
about it. We never enjoyed any
thing more than yesterday morn
ing when we came down street and
met quite a number of men almost
mad enough to fight. They all
gave strong denials Of the charge
that they were not there, and the
abuse heaped upon the APPEAL
yesterday by parties hit by the
article has had the fine effect of
waking the town up. 1t does us
good to know that these things are
so. It is on the principle of a sick
man whose disease was more in
his mind than anywhere. The
doctor, who had a long medical
head, abused the man, called him a
liar, and got him real mad. As a
result, the sick man cast of the
bed clothes, got on his feet, and
chased the physician about the
room with a chair. From that on
he was well man.
The city Of Carson is in the
same fix. 1t imagines itself sick
and about to die, whereas it Is only
dyspeptic. This disease in town
can be cured by a little public
spirit. If abusing lot of old fos-
sis for lack of enterprise will
wake them up we propose to keep
right on doing it.
When you find a man who de-
clines to attend the mass meetings
and begins to make foolish excuses
about his contributing to the work,
spot that man for future reference,
for you know that he has not the
interests Of the town at heart.
He will be certain to pop up
some day and want fat public Of
fee.
Then is the time to sit down on
him hard.
There are men in this town Who
have been dead as dried Goldfish
for ten years. They ought to be
made to resuscltate or plant head
board and crawl in under the sod
and keep out Of sight.
Carson must get up on its feet
and rustic for its existence. 1t has
a big farming country behind it,
some good mines behind that, and
if it reaches out and makes itself
heard it can take in all this trade
Whenever a miner OF farmer
comes in here from the country be-
hind US, sell him goods at reason
able profit, he viii call again. Don't
feel bad because you can't make 30
nor cent ont Of everything you sell
him. Suppose YOU only make FIVE
pcr cent. he will spend the money
here and twill come back to yoU
indirectly; isn't this better than
driving him away to Reno Or Nir-
GINA city.
The APPEAL hopes to see the !
time when the cursed little cllques
of this city will be merged into one |
big clique; and that the sole object |
of the big clique will be to keep |
Carson in the front Of the process
sion where it belongs.
We believe that now is the time |
to strike the blow for silver. We |
ought to have a big mass meeting |
here right away to pass congratula-
tory resolutions and send them red |
hot over the wires to Senator Beck, |
congratulating him on his speech III
the Senate against the gold bugs. |
Every town in the West ought to
back this man up good and strong |
at this time
He ought to be made aware that !!
the eve of the West is on him and !
that his work is being appreciated.
His speech is worth ten million dol
lars to this Coast. He is carrying |
confusion into the camp Of the gold |
bugs and if he carries the fight to |
a successful issue it means good
times and prosperity to Nevada. |
He should be recognized and en-
couraged, and at once.
