OUGHT TO BE HUNG.

In the suit Of Miss Perkins
against Lucky Baldwin the defense
has been obliged to rely on some of
the most accursed scrubs that ever
went into a witness box. One man
went on the stand and swore against
the chastity of the plaintiff, and it
was shown by reliable witnes ses
that he had admitted that he hard
ly knew the girl but had told peo-
pie confidently that he would
swear to anything that Baldwin
wanted him to for 81 900 so that he
could skip the country. Nearly all
of Baldwin 8 witnesses were shown
up as ours Of the same dirty breed.
The jury would have won the last
ing regard of the community by
taking these witnesses out and
hanging them and earned the right
to keep. it forever by afterwards
hanging Baldwin.

MORNING APPEAL.
THE LAND QUESTION.

The land affairs of Nevada seem
the least understood Of almost any
thing in the State. In view Of the
fact that the Regents Of the Uni
versity haye lowered the price to
81 % an acre, the old figures, the
uses of land and the methods Of
acquiring broad areas should be
better set forth, About one man
in twenty knows how to take up
land; the other nineteen are al
most entirely in the dark regarding
it, and it is fair to suppose that a
few more out of the nineteen
would acquire land if they knew
how easy it was to do SO. The
question of the DEAFNESS or cheap
ness of land has been pretty gem
orally discussed since the Regents
raised the price to 81 90 1t has
been held that they had no right
to do this under the law, and the
trainers of the law have claimed
that they meant only to give them
the option of lowering it if they
saw fit. If they meant to do this
they should have so stated in plain
English, for as the law now stands
there is no question of the right Of
the Regents to raise it to $40 an
acre if they choose.
1t was held that the last land
law was in the interests of the cat
tie men, and they could be made
to purchase just as readily at 81 so
as at 81 %. The Surveyor Cen
eral claims that the records do not
bear out this statement, and that
since the raise the sales have ma
terially fallen off, and in fact, al
most closed. The press Of the
State have generally favored the
low price and clamored against the
raise, and the Regents claim that
public opinion was created against
their policy, and that no such en-
couragement was given in the
Land Office to purchasers as be-
fore. The Surveyor Generol, how
ever holds that the price alone
caused the falling of, and because
of this the idea has gained ground
that the School Fund was in danger.
The 'irreducable School Fund"
question has been so much dis
cussed that it seems a pity to drag
it into a new controversy if it can
be helped. We confess good
deal Of ignorance on the subject.
II the land is to be sold, some
legislation is required to advertise
it abroad and sell it. Nevada needs
more than anything an immigra-
ton society to proclaim to the out
side world the perfection of its eli
mate and the desirability of its
soil. We believe that with such a
society to boom the State the lands
could haye been disposed of to
Eastern men for 50 so an acre,
but under the old State policy Of
hiding all its good things under a
bushel, it would be hard to sell ex-
cept at cheap rates. The Board
has worked assiduously to do the
best it could with the land and
school questions, and tried to do
the greatest good to the greatest
The suggestions made by
them to the next Legislature ought
to be needed, but unless the Legis
lature does its duty and properly
proclaims the merits of these lands
abroad, the advantages Of cheap
land will be reaped by the few in
stead of the many. The fact that
the Board were 1--we enough to
make experiments demonstrates
that they are long way ahead Of
any previous body of University

The Late Election.
MOUNTAINS, Nov. 1G

! MOUNTAINS, Nov. 16.
ED. FREE PREss:-In the last issue
of your paper you say that after the
election is the time for all of us to
keep silent and take whatever comes.
Would you pardon one of your read
ers for talking little after your COM
m md for silence? 1t seems to me
that the way in which our elections
are clrred on is disgrace to civil
lied country. If stranger had passed
through our town on last election day
he would certainly have thought that
he was on the borders of Mexico, Tor
there were such herds and droves of
Mexicans voted here that sometimes
it looked more like II Mexican election
than that of an American town. Isay
drOres Of MericanS, for they were
herded and driven Just like so many
dumb brutes, and some of them were
so drunk that it required man on
each side to hold them up long enough
to get to the polls. Are there really
so many Mexican voters in this pre-
clnct, or were they just driven i'll for
the occasion? l heard of one man
saying that "his man got in again,
but that it was the Mexicans and
whisky that elected him." What an
honor! 1t seems to me that if were
an officer l wouldn't feel very highly
complimented to have one of my
friends say that much for me. But /
suppose Just SO they ''get in" as they
say, it doesn't make much difference
to some of them bow they accom-
plish it.
1t doesn't seem quite SO improper
for men who frequent saloons TO use
whisky IN an election, but when stew
ards of our churches deal it out 10
buy votes with. that Is something
that ought to be- looked after. Where
is the hue between the church and
the world if our leaders are allowed
to go on in this wayi

The Indiana Contest.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. IA The
ten days allowed by law for filing of
notices of contest after an election
expired yesterday, and the privilege
has been exercised to an unusual ex-
tent. The legislature elected on
Tuesday, November 2, ms shown on
the face of the returns, will stand on
joint ballot 76 democrats, "a repnbli-
cans, giving the democrats 2 major
ity. The republicans will have con-
troll Ct the house and the democrats
of the senate. The coming contest
hinges on the election of n United
States senator to succeed Gen. Hur
rison, and both parties will make n
stubborn fight for the prize. The
democrats have fled notices of con-
test against four republican members
elect of the house and against six of
the nine senators elected by the re-
publicans. The charges on which
these contests are based include in
eligibility on constitutional grounds,
bribery, corruption, etc. The repub
licans propose to contest the seats OF
three democratic members of the
house and one senator. Thursday,
January 6, an exciting time is con-
sidered certain.

Instead of arranging matters as here
