NYE COUNTY.
Hot Shot az the Austin Revetlle
and Citizens Of Lander County.
Belmont Courier, Oct. 2.

and Citizens 0f \ Lander County.
Belmont Courier, Oct. 2.
The Austin Reveille 10 very anxious to
have Nye county abolished. The Reveille
has made 1t a practice for years past to
misrepresent Nye. We can inform the
Reveille that our taxpayers are not at all
anxious to be annexed to Lander, where
taxation is So 90 on every 500 Of taxable
property, and whose railroad debt aggre-
gates $3.50 900 bearing 10 per c~entinterest.
At present the business of Austin is 30
light that the Nevada Central railroad can
only afford to run three trains q week be-
tween Austin and Battle Mountain, and
are seriously contemplating, SO it is said,
the running of only one train. The
Reveille can rest sure that taxpayers of
Nye want none of Lander in theirs, nor
are they particularly DESTROYS of being
swallowed up by Austin. They can
probably manage to scratch along
for a few years yet In spite of the
Reveillo's efforts to accomplish the
disorganization Of their county. The
attention OF tho Reveille is called to
the platforms Of both parties adopted in
convention at Belmont last month. II
will there see that tho Legislative candi-
dates are pledged to oppose the segregation
or Reorganization of Nye county. The
Reyeille is in poor business when it sets il.
self up as a divider of counties. II rumor
speaks truly Eureka and Humboldt will
try to get away with a goodly portion of
Lander during the next session Of the Ne
vada Legislature. Tho people of Battle
Mountain and Lewis and those along the
Central Pacific would like very much to be
in Humboldt county. The Reveille will
find that it has work enough ahead TO pre-
serve for Lander the territory it already
possesses. A county that wants to swallow
another ia often swallowed itself. Let Nye
alone, neighbor, until you are asked to
chip.

4 REPUBLICAN VIEW OF TIE
NEXT HOUSE.

En- BAO
To those Republicans who believe in
the recuperative force of the party and
think they will have a majority in the
next House of Congress, we commend
the following from the Boston Journal,
one of the oldest and most reliable Re-
publican papers in New England. 1t
says: "There is no special likelihood
of any change in She delegation from
New Hampshire and Rhode Island; both
Connecticut and Massachusetts, have
each one reliable Democratic District,
and one only, but there are two in Con-
n~ecticut and three in Massachusetts,,
which are more or less close and doubt
full. Two of these are now represented
by Democrats and three Republicans.
The probabilities are, apparently, that
the Democrats will at least hold their
own in these States, and will, perhaps,
make gains. In New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania there is some
prospect of Democratic gains, unless in
terferred with by the labor vote, which is
drawn mainly from the Democratic
party. In Ohio there will be Demo-
cratic losses in consequence OF redistrict-
ing the State. In Indiana and Illinois
the delegations, which now stand 80
Democrats to "a Republicans, may
possibly be reversed. Michigan may
show a gain of two Republican members,
which will probably be offset by COR
responding losses in Wisconsin. In
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and Ne
braska, if there is any change, it will
be in favor of the Democrats. In Cali
fornia there will be a Democratic gain.
In the far Southern States of South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Ar
kansas the Republicans or the opposl-
tion of all sorts cannot lose much, for
the very good reason that they have
very little to lose, the delegations from
those eight States, with one exception,
being solidly Democratic. The Republi-
cans have one Member from Maryland,
two from Virginia, n from North
Carolina, three from Tennessee, one
from kentucky, two from Missouri, or
ii in all. Their strength in the next
House, owing to the Reorganization
caused in the party in these States by
the loss of the Federal patronage, is
likely to be diminished.
"From this review of the whole field
it seems altogether unlikely that the
Democratic party can lose control of the
next House. 1t may not have quite so
large a majority, although the chances
are quite good that it will have a still
larger one"
The above is the deliberate judgement
of a leading Republican Journal of ma
tional reputation. 1t shows that it ex-
poets to see the Democratic majority in
the Fiftieth Congress increased. This
should be most encouraging to all Demo-
Gratis, for in the history of almost every
Administration the opposition have in
the second Congress unusually increased
their majority, and not infrequently
have controlled the Lower House against
the party administering the Govern
ment. While the Republican opposi-
tion shows disintegration every where
the Democracy as an organization is
compact and strong; by meeting the de-
mands of the people for honest Govern
ment they are laying the foundation for
a long lease of power.

ALL the bills in the hands Of the
House Committee favorable to the
division and admission of Dakota haYe
been reported adversely, and the
Springer bill, for the admission of the
Territory as a whole, reported favor
ably. There is no hope of anything
being done this session toward admis-
sion. Should the Springer bill pass the
House il would be killed in the Senate,
as it should be. Minority reports have
been made on the Harrison and Hill
bills, but there is no hope of their being
used. The House is determined to do
nothing at this session. and there is
little use Of Dakota pushing her claim
further in that direction.
