How We Feel AbOu:il.

We wish some of those wise folks that
are SO full of advice and information TO the
editor as to how paper ought to be run
would come to the front at this present
writing and run this particular ene for
two hours and a half There are mp stairs
an lrishman, a heathen from Zululand a
Chinaman and an Italian. who are grind
ing up copy an aIlfired sight faster than
we can put it together. The town is as
quiet as Il eamp-meeting ground after camp
meeting is over; there is nothing going on
and precious little doing; our exchanges
offer us nothing to scissor; the recount is
not finished; the show ism coming till to-
morrow night; the school trustees don
know yet who the new principal will be;
our ''Daretown Dots" has gone to sleep;
the man we went to see to get the points
on startling item is out OF town; we have
just discovered that half colamn account
of a thrilling tragedy we had written up
is dead, because the blamed thing never
happened and the liar who told us about
it is out OF reach or we'd make an item out
of him, and a man is shoycling coal down
shute into the cellar right along side of
our desk, driving out of our head what
few ideas we had when we commenced so
that we don't know now what we started
10 write, ana we lear the step Oh the devil
coming down stairs from the composing
room for more copy, and oh, yesi We
weuld be glad if one of those too-fresh in
dividuals, who know all about newspaper
work, would come i'll just now and take
charge. But with the usual too-subse-
quentness of the men of their kidney they
don't turn up till after ye editor has done
the work and come safely through the or
deal and the paUpl has pOnp to press and
then they borrow copy and looking it
over, tell an awe-struck audience how diff
ferently they would have filled it up ifthey
had had hold of the pen. Here, you man

a dramatic representation of Uncle Tom

The Grand Jury Of Elko County
have indicted Sheriff j. W. Tabor
for gross negligence in allowing W.
Booker to escape from the jail
where he was waiting on a charge of
assault to commit murder. They
accuse W. W. Rogers, Auditor and
Recorder, of extortion and willful
misconduct in Office in collecting
three times the amount to which he
is legally entitled, and censure the
District Attorney for carelessness
and inccmpetency in office. The
grand inquest also gets in heavy
body-blow on the Commissioners
for allowing bills in excess Of the
amount legally prescribed, charging
them with ignorance Of the law.

consisted of several fat turkeys, sew

quantity that was set out may be
judged from the fact that there was

Dan DE Quill.

Since Dan De Quill retired from
| the Enterprise his pen has been
| buster than eyer. There is an i'm
mense amount Of literary vitality
in Dan and although he is becoming
personally something like Don
Quixote, he is still weaving his
stories and sketches out Of his tire
less Imagination, and his wit is as
sprightly and his powers of descrip-
ton as vigorous as ever. One can
hardly pick up paper of any note
that some good thing from Dan is
not found therein. Dan is no
"chestnut gatherer, but briming
as Of old with originality. He now
writes regularly for the New York
Sun, New York Weekly, Salt Lake
Tribune, Sacramento Bee, San
Francisco Maverick. Carson Free
Lance ana lot or Otnef papers OF
which we haye forgotten the names
Whenever paper wants a new
story on short notice it telegraphs to
Dan and grabbing a few quires of
paper and a pencil he starts at work
SO as to have the story ready to
catch the next mail. How he man
ages to write so much and keep it
up so long and do it all so well, is
mystery to his oldest friends. Peo-
pie have been watching Dan for
thirty years expecting him to give
out, but he keeps on running like an
artesian we'll.

Jersey and Connecticut.
All Long, the Judge of the Court
of San Francisco was Caucasian
svmpathiser. and had allowed the
whites of the Occident to ride,
rough shod, over the Restriction
laws for coin. (Cheers.)
He denounced him as traitor
and knave, and believed that he
ought to be made to step down off
the bench and live with the leper-
Gus whites of Michigan and Mis-
souri,. A man who likes that class
of people so much ought to live
with them.
The whites were getting thicker
every year in Nevada, and in
twenty years it would be hard to do
anything with them. They were
crowding every avenue of trade,
and ought to be stamped out. He
mentioned several leading firms
which were employing cheap white
labor, and as he called them off
the audience groaned.
Several other speakers addressed
the meeting, and several hundred
signed a pledged not to employ
white labor in any form. A Con-
mittee was appointed to canvass
the town for subscriptions to aid in
Kidding Carson of the white nuis-
ance, and the work goes bravely on.
