THE DEyE..OPEnENT OF Ne
EiDA.

In the local columns is published
an interview with Commissioner
Hayenor who represented the State
at New Orleans. There is much in
what he says for the citizens of
this State to ponder over Nevada
has the soil, climate and resources
to make her one Of the richest
States Of her size In the Union.
All we need is enterprise and en-
argy aud the victory is ours. For
some years past we have been ret
regarding. because the people OF
the country have been shiftless and
inactive. Hundreds o. men sit
round or beer kegs, play whlskey
cinch ali the afternoon anG tell you
that times are not that they used
~ he.
These men came TO the State
years ago when $2d pieces We're as
thick as tickle grass. and now that
the business of the country has
led down upon d more business
basis and times have lost the zest
of speculation. they refuse To stir
hand or foot. hut sit with folded
hauCs to wait until some one else
uncovers i bonanza.
These miserable wrecks lie idle
between the campaigns, run Ill
debt, swill whiskey and croake 1t
is certain that new set must take
the lead and develope the country.
There should tie all Immigration
Society in Nevada to advertise its
resources and the State should give
its aid To every practical plan to
bui.d up the State aud increase
the vaIue of taxable property.
We have been asleep long enough
We must wake up and do something.
Every county should pledge Its
Legislature delegates TO vote for
bills which will advance Nevadas
prosperity aud not fool away their
time in petty wrangles over county
seats, land slides and amendments
Of the salary laws. Mr.. Havenor
has done great work for Nevada,
and his example should cause more
men to SIT down less and rustic
more.

REBELS IN Pos &.

Since the administration began
making appointments 1t seems to
have rakeG the country with a fine
tooth comb to Gnd all the hard
eases possible and install them in
fat office. Eugene Higgins, a
clerk in the Treasury Department,
Is a sample of this class. He once
held the position of Under Keeper
at Libby prison, in Richmond dur
Ing the war Higgins, it is said
was living In Richmond when the
war commenced. and he was APP
pointed to the place named aud re
manned there until just before the
surrender of Lee. 1t is, therefore,
not surprising that he possesses
such hatred for Republicans, and
especially for ex Union soldiers, Il

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1886-03-11

When senator Wilson, OF Iowa, introduced
his bill TO raise merchandise postage tDa level
with letter rates he practically proposed to
make life harder for the frontier, the farmer,
and the small settlement than 1t I. now, nnd In
supporting this measure he urges a step to-.
ward higher rates which no Congress has ever
taken without carly retrncng 1t. -iHRtisiphip
IosS.
This bill IS ono Of the worst attempts at
class legislation that has appeared IN Con-
grcss for many years. 1t is ill to in
crease the business Of country storekccpers
and express companies ut the expense Of
the people generally.
Mir, Henry {. Bowen, of the New York
independent, made a statement before the
Senate postal committee yesterday which
ought to insure the opposition of that com.
mittee to Mr.. Wilson'S ill.advised, un.
called-for, and injurious proposition. Mr..
Bowen showed clearly the vast benefits con.
ferred on the people by the low rate of
merchandise postage. lie showed that
while the direct revenue on this special
class of business may not appear to be ade.
Quatc to meet all the direct expenses OF
conducting it, yet the total postal CORE
spondence growing out Of it, If It could be
computed, would clearly demonstrate that
it is now profitable, with prospect OF q
steady and rapid increase. One of tho
largest dry goods houses in New York as
sured Mr.. Bowen that 1t Is usual for them
TO receive and reply to three or four letters
of inquiry before they receive the order fol
the goods; that G5 per cent. Of their remit
tancos are either by registered letter ol
money order, paying the government i
cents and 10 cents respectively, for fee and
postage and that they send fully G5 pei
cent. of their packages rs registered fourth

We hope the Senate win not repeat q
folly yperpetrated some years ago, and speed
lily repented Of, by passing this bill,
But should it pass the Senate--which is
scarcely possible-we can state as an ascer.
tanned fact that the House postal committee
has already decided to report against 1t.
