Of men and women employed in the
United States mail service. There arc,
to begin with, $500 rostlnaster5,
presidential and otherwise 1000 rail
road mail service employees, 7,Cc0 let
ter carriers, 100 inspectors, 5000 clerks
in the postofiices, 600 clerks in the
postoffice department. This gives you
q total of 1880 employees. Every
postmaster averages two assistants, and
this in round numbers amounts to
l16, 400 persons, which number added
to 1890 gives you 194, 800 persona

to Paris, studied and practiced under
Geromc and lived meanly enough,
though merrily, on q very scant IN

low prices and in that way elSed out an
existence. But one day he was dc
lighted to see q picture that he had
sent to tho Paris salon hung on the
linc-an honor that means q great deal
to an artist unknown to fame. The
picture was called Tulip Culture. ="

The wraps were generally drawn for

were holding their own arms, squeez-

pressing their hearts with their own

scious indulgcnces they were demon

Is 1T PROPERY

Much active work is being done now to
make our State Fair success this year. and
1t will doubtless prove one. Many improve.
ments arc being made TO the grounds and lib
eral premiums are offered as rewards ior
races, etc. OF course there will be exhibits
of thoroughbred animals from outside OF our
State. and there will also be outside horses
entered for the races. This is what we would
like TO enquire about. 1t would seem that if
we are to have State Fair the people who
live in the State should have the benefit OF II
as much as possible. California has faster
horses than have yet been bred in Nevada
She has better thoroughbred stock OF some
breeds, also, as was shown by the owners OF
said stock taking the first premiums last year.
Whether it is just the thing TO allow outsiders
the privilege OF coming to our fair and carry
ing off the largest share OF premiums and
purses is a question. 1t may be argued that
il draws a larger crowd and brings some out
side money into the county, but one thing 1t
does not do, and that is stimulate our own
people to action in making stock exhibits and
entering their animals for races. Our Peo-
pie after taking their stock to one or two fairs
and having the prizes awarded to some one
from California, get tired of the thing and
conclude, next season TO make no exhibit.
The same with the races. We have some
pretty fast horses in Nevada, but they are on
ly fast enough to get beaten by the Califor-
MIA horses, and lose the big purses. A little
purse is thrown to them occasionally as sop. |
They naturally get tired Of this performance |
and season after season take less interest in
the Fair, and finally stay away altogether. |
We are not arguing to keep outsiders from
Our Fair, but do argue that the purses and |
premiums should be given to our home PEG
pie. Let CALIFORNIA; bring their horses and |
animals here if they choose to; they can
make enough out OF it to pay them without
getting all of the cream, but award the
prizes to the best exhibits in the State. 1t
will give better satisfaction all around.

MORE SOUND THAN SENSE"

The free trade organs think that the talk
about keeping the American market for
American products has more sound than
sense. To US il seems that while the ex-
preston sounds we'll it is quite as full of
sense as OF sound. The facts of the case
are that the American people have created
for themselves a condition of things more
favorable to the masses of the people than
exists anywhere else on the face Of the globe.
Work is better paid here than elsewhere and
the workers, in consequence, enjoy more OF
the luxuries of life. The ability of the
American laborer to purchase literally of the
Injuries contributes largely to make this
market the best in the world. Now, if this
market should be opened to the labor Of all
other countries, its special advantages would
be lost to our own people. Competition
from abroad would bring our market down
to level with the markets abroad. The
party, therefore, which proposes to keep the
American market for Americans stands upon
the same solid ground as the citizen who
strives to make his home superior to those
about him. 1t is by such efforts that the
general condition of the people is elevated

SAN FRANCISCO will certainly have
cause to feel friendly toward the Democracy.
A new Postoflice building is greatly needed
in the metropolis; indeed, it is an imperative
necessity to the Government and will be an
immense convenience to the public in more
central locality. But here is the Democratic
majority in the house blocking the way to
the passage OF the bill through the house on
the ground that it is necessary for the Gov
eminent TO cconomize The truth is, as the

WHY VOTE FOR CLEVELAND.

Nevadans should vote for Grover Cleve-
land for several reasons, among others, some
Of the following:
Because under his reign the Mint was
closed as coming institution and an assay
Office made Of it.
Because he has reduced the pay Of nearly
every postmaster in the State.
because he has reduced our mail service
and has it cut down in every instance where
it was possible, to the inconvenience Of a
large number of people.
Because he would rather see the Austria
liam wool growers get from to 6 cents more
pound for their wool than they do, and
Americans from S to cents less a pound.
Because he is in favor of gold alone as
money, and would not care d-n if every
silver mine in Nevada was closed down.
Because he has never been in favor Of ar
appropriation of any kind for public pur.
poses for Nevada.
And because he is especially hostile tc
this Coast because it did not give him ma
jority four years ago
These are all good reasons.
