The Carriers all did we'll with thei,
addresses and wish to thank the
public for their liberal patronage
on New Years day and also state
that they overlooked a few sub
scribers, and will call upon them
with apologies) during the week
1t always makes a carrier feel bad
to overlook anybody that way as
they are very chary of hurting any

' The San Francisco Chronielsi
New Year Greeting.
5 The San Francisco Chronicl,
With its characteristic enterpris,
. gives general condensed review O
the condition Of the Pacific Slope
T and gives Nevada a just and friend
ly mention, showing that while the
Comstock has been quoted low the
State has outside of that place
held its own in mineral discoveries
and has advanced agriculturally.
Of all the counties Of the State it
selects Ormsby for special mention
because the Assessors reports pub
llshed some weeks ago in the Ap-
PEAL show that it has held its own
where other counties have been lag
gard It says:
During the past year Ormsby
county has held its own in spite of
the general depression in other
parts of the State. It's population
is the same as last year, 1000, and
the assessed value of real estate
l,14l ,422, with personal property
assessed at $196,34O. Among the
main industries of the county is |
the lumber interest. Twenty mil
lion feet were fumed in 1S84,which
was within few thousand feet of
the amount handled in 1888 There
has been quite an impetus given to
agriculture and all the ranchers re-
port large crops of all descriptions,
1t is noteworthy fact that for sew
eral years past the rainfall in Orms-
by has gradually increased. This
Summer the farmers we're able to
raise everything by natural irriga-
ton. Recent experience has shown
that it is possible TO raise two crops
Of wheat year by sowing late in
the fall, and the price per ton, $40
make grain profitable thing to
'aise. To say that times were brisk
would be far from the real fact, as
he general depression upon the
Iomstock has materially affected :

Tess men generally report better :,
rade than in 1883. with collections u
asy and an ability to meet all San '

The "Hemographfc" Chart

| The APPEAL office is now al
work upon register list of the in.
coming Legislature otherwise
known as "homographic chart. -
This word has been employed to
designate this register for many
wears, but why such a misnomer
was applied is more than any Ne
vada philologist can tell. Homo
graphic is supposed by many to be
combination of the Latin homo
man, and Greek g,aphos to writes
but it is really devised from two
Greek words which simply signi
fies method of spelling by which
each sound is represented by a
single character. 1t is quite evil
dent that this word has no applica
ton whatever to list of the State
officers and members of the Legis-
la'lVe ana consequently the AP-
PEAL proposes to shelve the word
In this connection for all time, and
call the publication The Legisla-
tive Register. F" 1t will not be
printed upon sheet of cardboard
the size of a canvass for ball
room, but in compact form which
can be preserved for handy refer
ence. 1t will be ready for delivery
in the first week of the session, as
soon as possible after the Commit
tees are appointed. Applications
sor the chart can be made at this

The Registry List

The APPEAL bill, for printing
the registry list, over which there
has been much dispute. was ordered
paid yesterday. The Board called
in the District Attorney who de-
cided that So long as the APPEAL
was the official organ it could sue
for breach Of contract if the print
ing was not given it. If county
officials would bear this plain fact
in mind and not work increasingly to
fight this proposition the county
would not have to pay the bills in
10 many different directions.

LEGsSLATEyE PGHKTEOys.
some of Those Who Ought not ia
get Them.

As usual there is an army of
men knocking at the door of the
Legislature for positions and de-
manding them of course, on the
score Of past services for the party.
Care should be taken by mem
bers not to commit themselves to
any candidate until they know
something of his political ante
cedents. We have in our minds
eye several men who are now de-
handing fat places who have been
traitors to the party for years past.
There are persons mentioned as can
dldates vino have openly Dragged
In the streets of Carson that they
voted the majority Of the Demo
cratic tickets, State and county
and that they were proud of it.
There will be men demanding Of
fee who on election day, from the
first time they were old enough to
vote, have been round the streets
striking candidates for money as
the price Of their fealty to the
ticket. These men are pretty we'll
known in this city and well spot |
ted also. The Legislative patron
age belongs by right to men who
have been old line Republicans and
who have stood by the ticket under
all circumstances. The party can
not offered to cast its pearls before
swine and make the Capitol build
ing feeding trough for hogs who
root in Democratic pastures when
ever the fence is down.

THE DEADLOCK IN THE ILLINOIS LEGIS-
LATURE.-Both branches of the General
Assembly of Illinois met yesterday, but no
quorum was present, and al adjournment
was taken until to-day. The delay i'll max
ing the official canvass Of the vote for State
Offices, consequent upon the failure OF the
House TO organize, has kept Governor
Oglesby and the other otticials-elect who
are not their own successors out OF their
respective positions for two weeks At the
outset the matter was only source of a
little vexation, but it has now become ex-
pensive. The men whom they are to sue
coed are not only in possession of the offices,
but of the salaries as we'll. These newly
elected officers want to compromise this
trouble to an extent at lsrst that will per-
nit them to get into their positions and
their names on the pay roll. During the
recess Of the legislature they have fixed up
a proposition which their friends will sub
nit when the two houses assemble. They
propose that a resolution be passed recog-
nizing the House as being under temporary
organization only, yet inviting the Senate
to meet with it for the purpose OF conduct
ing the canvass.

STEAMBOAT REGULATIoNs.-The board OF
supervising inspectors of steam vessels, at
their meeting, in Washington, yesterday,
adopted a rule of importance to steamboat
owners. The rule provides that where
steamers are furnished with approved life
saving mattresses, such mattresses may be
issued in lieu of life preservers in proportion
to one person for single mattress, and two
persons for double mattress, thus saving
steamboat owners the expense of purchas-
ing life preservers in proportion as their
steamers are fitted out with life saving mat
tresses.
