An Adding Machine.

c. G. Spalding, who keeps books for
Day & johnson, says the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican, has perfected a
machine that is designed to aid brother
bookkeepers or accountants in running
up long lines of figures. He has been
at work on the invention since 1873,
and had the thing patented something
like year ago. The machine is en-
cased in a wooden box about eight
inches square and three inches deep,
and, lifting the cover, the interior is
seen to hold an enameled white surface,
on which are two dials, and which
shows the brass keyboard in the lower
left hand corner. The larger dial. of
the two is on the left of the machine,
and is divided into one hundred sec
TONS. The rim of the smaller dial is

v4rRlEO MEN.

We find the following in the
Reveilie.
appears to be generally con-
ceded that S. S. Sears of the Elko
Independent will be appointed
Agent for the Duck Valley Indian
Reservation to succeed Hon. j. S.
Mayhugh, whose term of Office ex
pires sometime next month. No
better selection could be made for
the place.
The APPEAL congratulates broth
er Sears upon his appointment and
believes that the Government
showed good sense in selecting q
man Of his reputation. We take
exceptions to the remark at the end
Of the Reveilie article: No bet
ter selection could be made for the
place.
The above is pet phrase with
the press all over the country and
ought to be abolished. No one
knews at present what sort OF an
Indian Agent Mr.. Sears will make.
He may with the best intentions
and the hardest kind of work make
failure Of his duties. \ news
paper arrogates to itself the gift OF
prophecy when 1t sravely tells its
readers that mo better selection
could be made. There may be right
in Elko a dozen men whom no one
thinks of who would be able to run
the Agency right up to the handle
The only test of mans capacity
to successfully perform the duties
Of official station, is actual perform
ance. The man vino gives the
greatest promise of success may
fail utterly, and some one whom no
one credits with capacity, prove just
the man.
This article is not intended IN
Lisparagement of brother Sears who
is a journalist and whose services
for the Democratic party entitled
him to consideration and who will
90 into the Office with the best
wishes of the whole fraternity.

THE JUDICIARY ACT.

The constitutio nality Of the Ju-
dietary Act will work quite a
change in the State, and the meth
DDS of the Courts. The Act makes
one Judicial District Of the State,
and provides for the election Of
three Judges of the District Court
at the next. general election, and
quadrennially thereafter. The
Judges are to be elected by the
qualified electors of the whole
State. the same as State officers,
and shall have equal, ce-extensiye,
and concurrent jurisdiction and
power. Each ia authorized to hold
Court in any county in the State,
and if the public business requires,
each may try causes and transact
judicial business in the same
county at the same time Each
Judge shall receive salary Of So
900 a ye; r, and the necessary ex-
penses actually paid BY him for
travelling by public conveyance in
gsing to and from the place OF hold
ing Court. One of the Judges
shall reside during his term of Of
fee. at Eureka or Austin, one at
Carson or Virginia City and one at
Reno or ElkO.
Nine-tenths of the people OF the
State we're not in favor Of the Act,
and would have instructed ther
representatives to vote against u
had they known Its full tenor at
the time it came up before the Leg
islature. One peculiar feature Of
il is that it gives the new judges
higher salaries than the Supreme
Court. There vii. be some lively
scrambling at the next Convention
over these three fat offices.

Artemu' Ward said that once while on
lecture tour, night found him at 8
small town in Nevada. In the landlord
of the hotel he recognized friend of his
boyhool who gave him hearty greet
ing. Supper over, the landlord said to
his guest Now, Brown, we hardly
ever have any show of any kind in this
place, and don't think We ever had a
lecture. Can't you give us your lecture
up in the ballroom? 1t will please the
people nightly, and I'll take it as a
great favor if you will" With charac-
tcristic good nature Artcmus consented.
The ballroom was well filled when he
rose to speak, and before he had been
on his feet minute he made an obser-
walton which provoked roar of lauqh-
Ter, at which the landlord his face white
with race rose and advanced toward the
platform with the remark, cone minute.
Mr. Brown Artcmus paused, and the
landlord having taken his place beside
him drew a revolver from his back
pocket and, addressing the audience,
said: Ladies and gentlemen, the

Since it became fashionable for young
ladies to wear collar and nccktie, their
superiority to men has been fully dem
onstrated. You never see lady with
her necktie over her ears. A brief trial
OF six months has taught women more in
the necktie wearing art than men have
learned in six thousand years. A hu-
man being that can make necktie stay

two ballots at every election. = Lynn
