OUR MAIL ROUTE.
A PROPOSED CHANGE OF
SCHEDULE THAT WILL
DELAY THE MAILS
ABOUT l6 HOURS.

In the railroad column OF the
Times Democrat, OF last Tuesday,
we find the following:
QUEEN AND CRESCENT.
The night nine O'Clock train from
this city over this road was such u
favorite one with the travelling
public that the road will soon
change its schedule back again to
that hour. As this permits bust
ness men to complete their labors
here and get away thae night, the
change will be enjoyed by those
who have regretted the present
schedule. When the change to a
night tain is effected, the run will
he made in very fast time.
Under the present schedule, the
train leaves New Orleans at 11:35
A. NJ, and our mails, which are
brought overland from Slidell. ar
rive about s o'clock at night. II
the proposed change is made. the
mails will reach SliGell too late to
leave the same night, and will ar
rive here about IL o'clock the next
day, at least 16 hours later than ut
present.
This will be hardship and mis-
fortune to thousands of our citi-
zens. for the accommodation of a
few business men Of New Orleans.
Our parish is growing in popu-
larity every year as summer re-
sort, and many Of our citizens have
invested largely in improvements
in anticipation of the growing sum-
mer trade. Hundreds of business
men from the city spend the sum-
mer here, with their families, enjoy
ing our pure air and the waters of
our numerous springs. Our prox-
unity to the city, and ease of ac-
cess by steamer--ncluding a most
delightful trip across the lake
operates to our advantage. Bat if
our mail service is placed at the
within of common carriers, who can
change the time to suit themselves,
many persons will cease to come
here. and go where they can obtain
equal comforts, and a fast nail be-
sides. The letter mail is generally
considered to be of the greatest i'm
portance, but there are many who
will stop taking the daily papers of
the city. if they cannot get them
before they are day and half old,
and fall back ON the weeklies.
The interests of our own citizens
and business men are entitled to
some consideration in this matter,
and they should be Afforded, by the
Postofice Department. every ia
cility for rapid communication with
the city. But the Department has
seen fit to give out the contract to
the lowest bidder, regardless OF
speed and the interests of the peo-
pile. At least it would seem SO, If
we are to be compelled to wait a
day and half for the mail, when
any steamboat Of ordinary speed
could deliver it here in at least five
hours.

Too Much Senatorial TaIk.

The Enterprise Of Tuesday says, "As
time progresses and advances further to.
ward the practical commencem ent OF the
political campaign of the present year in
this State, the eligibility of prominent
men for the various offices naturally
comes up for discussion, whether they be
aspirants or not. In this connection q
local correspondent, signing himself
Republican, says: II has often occurred
to the writer Of this article that an undue
share Of public attention is given to the
election of our Senators, to the neglect OF
some state officers, who, TO say the least,
are of equal importance to the best inter.
ests of the State. The Office OF Governor,
for Nuisance, is one Of eminent concern to
the people of Nevada, and for the proper
performance OF the duties thereof requires
the best talent to be found in our midst.
Ia it not time that the merits and abilities
of the prominent citizens who may aspire
to that Office be discussed? Among the
names most prominently mentioned of
gentlemen who may be candidates before
the Republican Convention for Governor
of this State are those Of G. G. Stevenson
and F. G. Lord, of Storey county; J.. b.
Gallagher and Thomas Hickey, of Esmer-
aida county. Either of the above gentle.
men would we'll and honorably fulfill the
duties Of Governor of Nevada"

Butfess

The Town Talk is, from present indica'
tions. inspired with the belief that the
coming Summer will be the best Butte has
ever seen. 1t Gays: 1.-THE Winter has
been unusally mild and, consequently, bad
for Winter trade; but, nevertheless. our
merchants say that their January trade
was better than that Of the corresponding
month last year. Every indication points
to a like comparative result, and probably
in a greater degree. for the month OF Feb.
ruary, though the same conditions have
continued to initiate against usual Winter
trade. For the Spring, Summer and Au-
tumn no better promise could be desired.
Instead Of Q general suspension OF mining
operations to continue for an indefinite
time. only one smelter was shut down. and
there is good reason to believe that its
furnaces will again be lighted before many
weeks. Every other plant in the district
is preparing to operate during the year
on the usual or an increased sale. In
addition other plants will BIO erected this
Spring, a greatly enlarged quantity Of
ore will be shipped elsewhere for reduc-
tion, new mines will be opened and the
output Of the district for 1886 will far ex-
coed the unparalleled product for 1885.
All this will contribute to enhance the
prosperity Of Butte. 4 Il n Unseen in
fluences may now be at work.o or unforeseen
may rise to defeat the prospect,
put such q contingency is improbable"
