NAME the PARTIES,

The Carson APPEAL insists upon
Nackay for Senator as the man to
head the fight against Fair. 1t OPP
poses Daggett, saying he Is not
strong, that he has had all the po-
litical pie he Us entitled to, and
that even Mackey could not pull
him through. The APPEAL will find,
in due time, that the Republicans
have half dozen valuable Rich
monds, and that some one Of them
will secure the coveted prize. The
next election in Nevada will demon
strate that election can be won
with votes, and that a great big
sack is not absolutely essential to
success Reno Journal.
Will editor Powning be good
enough to name the half dozen
available Richmonds." IfCol. Fair
runs again he will Of course make a
monied fight, and then the Repub-
lican party will find that money is
absolutely essential to success.
We hope the Journal will not
insist on maintaining the idea that
there are half dozen available
men to meet Fair. If we attempt
to 90 ahead with such PROPOSE
ton lot of ambitious men will
take the field, and every one Of
them be so badly showed under
that they will be a laughing stock.
With them will also disappear the
entire State ticket.

REDUCTION WORKS.

There is considerable talk about
reduction works for this State, and
the Tribune asks Why the works
cannot just as we'll be put up Car.
son as Reno.
They cannot be put up here, sim
ply because there is no one who
will put up the money. There are
. number Of people in this city who
want reduction works the very
worst in the world, but thev would
prefer to see their neighbors pay
them than to pay themselves.
Some years ago this question was
profoundly agitated; several town
meetings were held, and great
deal of chin music and subscribing
was INDUCED in, but as far as we
have been able to learn, not a cent
+. was put up.
Reno is now at work on the
same problem, and we have no
doubt will erect the works.. Reno
is live, enterprising town, and
when ever there is a chance to ad-
vance the interests of Reno, its cit
Gems can be depended upon for the
wherewithall. Yet Reno contains
no wealthier men than Carson.
They are simply livlier men, and
belong to later decade.
The business men of Carson are
fighting to much among themselves
to ever act upon any enterprise.
1t is cut throat game all round,
and the town does not progrt IS.
There are men in this town, lots of
them to, who will not put up $50
piece unless they can get $40 back
in a month. In public matters
they stand back and criticize but
never help.
Reno will have the reduction
works and thrive upon them, while
Carson will stand off and get ever
by making faces on Reno.
Carson ought to be ashamed o.
itself to be beaten at every point
by such little village as Reno.

THE HEAVIEST LOOsEEs.

The Denver Tribune makes this
point against the anti-silver men:
.When silver is assaulted in Con :
gress we must not reply by procla
nation that demonstration will
close our mines On the contrary,
we must call the attention of the
laboring classes, the owners Of the
property, and the active business
men Of the country, to the fact that
thew. and not the silver producers,
are the real objects of the gold
standard crusade. 1t is fight by
the worlds bondho'ders, by the
creditor classes, generally, for a
further contraction Of all values,
which will thereby increase the
purchasing power Of the gold in
which their bonds and notes are
payable. That is the true issue.
It is the money kings against the
masses. From this impregnable
rampant our every shot would be
fred. Contraction Of the world 8
metallic money to gold alore en-
riches creditors while it ruins debt
ers, ruins owners of property Of
oil kinds, by decreasing its value
and impoverishes the laborer by
emitting down his wages, 1t makes
hard times for everybody except
Ahe owners of debts well secured. +"

Manual Training schooIs.

Interest in manual training schools
seems to be rapidly increasing in every
part OF the country. Scores Of such
schools have been organized within the
past few years, and nearly all OF them
are being successfully conducted. Most
OF them are connected with literary insti-
tutions, and manual training very prop
erly goes hand in hand with education of
the mind.
The larger number of these schools are
for the benefit of boys, but they have also
been adapted to the instruction of girls,
who are being greatly benefited by the
special training which tends to add very
much to the happiness and usefulness OF
members Of the gentle sex, and make
them self-supporting as spinsters and real
helpmeets as wives.
The successfulness and utility of man
usl training schools when properly con-
Quoted are not now doubted. 1t has been
demonstrated that the special instruction
and training afforded by them fits youths
for an easy mastery OF many arts and
trades when they become apprentices, or
prepares them for advantageously begin
ming special and higher courses in schools
Of technology. 1t is safe to say that in
the near future a very large proportion OF
the students in chronological institutions
will come from manual labor schools.
Manual labor schools require no ex-
| pensiye machinery. They can be fur
nished with tools at cost OF from a few
| dollars to a few hundred dollars. No
doubt they will soon be supplied with
suitable text books. and the methods OF
instructing and training the pupils, now
doubtless very crude and varied, will be
greatly improved and made to some ex-
tent uniform.
This is practical age. and the demand
for practical instruction is constantly in.

The train was slipping along toward Elmira
at 40 miles an hour, when passenger came
into the smoker and called out:
''Now, gents, there's a woman IN the car
back here whose case appeals to our sympa-
thies. she's poor widow, and Just as she
got on the train some one picked her pocket of
$50 She hasn't one red cent to her name, and

Every man in the car cheerfully contributed

aud evidently without much money: in fact,
he explained:

got game leg. or a stiff neck, or a bad

''Well, come in and see her, and talk the

The A Appropriations.

The effort to create the impression,
which is noticeable in some Of the Repub-
Hcan journals. that the House is prepar-
ing to open the Treasury 10 every one who
pretsnds 70 have claim AGAINST the gov
ernmeut during the present Congress is
hardly worth passing notice. 1t is true
that a great many bills have been intro
duced claiming money Tor one thing or
another but the introduction OF these bills
doesn't mean that they will be passed.
The same sort of bills is introduced
every session. Very few Of them, how
ever. receive much attention. 1t doubt
full If the raids on the Treasury will be
anywhere near as numerous or as bold as
they were when the Republicans had con-
troll Of all the branches Of the government
The Republicans are certainly welcome
to all the capital they are likely to make
out Of the statement that the country
will have TO depend on the senate 10 pre-
vent an era Of extravaganza.
AS matter Of fact the senate has
always been too ready 70 increase ap-
preparations. II usually increases the
appropriation bills TO the extent Of mil
lions OF dollars. What folly is it, there
fore, for Republican journals to talk
about depending upon the Senate TO save
the country from bankruptcy
The fact that the Senate always in
creAses the appropriations is excused by
the Republicans on the ground that since
the House has been Democratic the SEN
ate has been forced to prevent the govern
ment from being starved. That sort OF
an excuse for the well-knOwn extrava-
gance OF the Senate may do where the
truth is not known, but it will hardly an
swer when the facts are easily obtsinable.
There never has been a time in the his
tory Of the Republican party when it has
been guided BY considerations Of econ
my, ana 1t viii be seen thatIf the schemes
that are now pending before Congress
which call for millions Of dollars are ap-
proved, their approval will be due mainly
10 Republican votes.
1t is probable that the distribution OF
the appropriation bills will be followed by
increased appropriations in some instan-
ces, but the increases will be due to in
trusting the work to half dozen COM
mittees rather than to one, and not TO
disposition to De extravsgant.
The truth, doubtless, is that the Repub-
lican journals are getting themselves in a
position TO claim the credit for the Repub-
lican Senate if the appropriations are so
closely in harmony with the actual need
Of the government that they cannot be
successfully attacked.

A Reminisceuce of josh Billings.


r. W. Hanscom, of this city. says that he
happened to be in Showhegan IN 1853 when
the late Josh Billings lectured there. The
morning after the lecture was rainy, and
mud was ankle deep IN the streets.
Josh glanced obviously out of doors, and
then asked Hanscom, "Havo you any rub
bcrsT"
NO" said Hanscom.
''I'll tell you what I'll do, said Josh "Ill
flip a cent 10 see whether you or l shall take
the other on his shoulders ana wade across
the street from the hotel to that shoe store
and buy pair for both"
Hanscom agreed. The cent was tossed and
ne won. Josh took him ''pig-ha through
the mud to the shoe store and bought rubbers
for both,
