'The Gambling Law.

W. D. Jones, District Attorney of
Lander county, in a commune alton
published in the Reveille of the 29th,
warns the proprietors of all houses
where gambling is INDUCED in, not to
allow any minor to participate in any
gambling, or to be present when any
gambling is going on. The lowest
penalty for violation OF tho law 10
$500, and the same penalty applies to
any person who shall gamble with any
minor in any place.
As there is some complaint that the
law above referred to is often violated
in Elko. it would be we'll for those who
indulge i'll the fascinating gamus OF stud
horse poker, cinch. pool. etc., to be
careful as to whom they permit to join
in thoir game. The attention of the
peace officers is particularly called to
the law governing gambling, and 1t is to
DO hoped that they will do their utmost
to enforce tho same.

The government is simply an
agency of the people for the execu-
ton of certain purposes. 1t has no
sources of revenue of its own, and
can only use the money belonging
to the people, taking from them by
the taxing power which they have
lodged with their representatives.
1t can have a surplus in the Treas
ury only by drawing it out of the
substance of the people. 1t belongs
to them, but the government takes
it away and puts it beyond their
control The ':vast aggregate of in
dividuals'' constituting the public
may have use for that money. Per-
haps they have private debts that
they find it hard to pay, and posi-
bly, many of them as individuals
have no surplus above their daily
wants. If the government did not
take from them money which it does
not need, and pile it up in the
Treasury or pay debts with it that
are not due, and that it would have
to pay n high premium for the priv
ilege of liqnidating, or squander it
upon "improvements,' the people
might find use for it in their 'spri-
waite business" and get direct ben
eft from retaining it. 1t seems to
us that common sense dictates that
the people should be allowed to re-
tain what fairly belongs to them, and
that the government should exact
no more revenue than it actually
needs for an economical administra-
ton of public affairs. Common
sense teaches that there should be
no surplus to "dispose of" and that
taxes should be RENTED and the
revenue reduced whenever itappears
that the government is drawing
from the people more than it needs.

To the Democrats.

Next Saturday you assemble in
Mass Convention to nominate a
candidate for County Superinten-
dent of Free Schools
In making the nomination you
want To select a man who has al
ways been loyal to the party and
It's nominees.
We are informed, (and we are
sorry that there is too much truth
in the Tnformation) that some of the
candidates who will be before the
convention, asking for the nomina-
ton, deliberately, premeditatedly
and coIdbIoodedly, turned against
some of the county Democratic
nominees last fall, and openly es-
ponscd the cause of Republican can
d5datcS, thereby aiding in the
defeat of Democrats.
We do not care to mention names,
at this time, but these fellows will
be exposed in the convention, for
Democrats who were murdered by
them will not sit idly by and allow
sIiem to be nominated without
milking protest.
More, no Democrat who was
guilty of stabbing his party and its
candidates, has a right to expect
the support of Democrats.
II they could not vote for and
support Democratic nominees, what
claim have they to Democratic sup
port?
Nominate no man who deserted
us in the face of the enemy last fall
Treat him as deserters are always
treatcd-kill him with a little of
their own medicine.

yellow Jack.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Yellow fe-
yer is epidemic at Rio de Janerio,
and when the last steamer left that
city the plague was ut IFS height
The deaths from yellow fever have
been from 100 to 135 per week ever
since the first of December, and the
United States Consul General, in a
dispatch to the State Department.,
says: ~
"Never in the history of this city
has there been known, at this sea-
son, such an epidemic of yellow fe-
vcr as is now prevailing here. The
number of deaths in the month of
January was 1,713, the largest ever
known in one month. The rate, as
shown by the report up to the 10th
of February (the last publication,
makes large increase in the death
rate, which, if continued through
the month, will show the deaths in
February to be 2,108, which is moro
than double the number of deaths
for the same month last year, which
was $50. The weather is intensely
hot and dry. There is in many To-
calitics of the city great suffering
from want of water, and unless rain
should come soon to reduce the tenn
perature and increase the water
supply, the worst has as yet not
been realized.

A wild story comes from Cleveland
to the effect that Mrs. Betsy Gould,
colored, of that city, is heiress to
property in West Virginia, South
Carolina and Pennsylvania, worth
s10,0OO,0OO. She says she is the
granddaughter of John Dimmitt,
one of the innumerable body SER
wants of George Washington, and a
lineal descendant of the father of his
country. She was born in Now Lis
bon, Ohio, and was the nurse of Gle
ment Vallandinam. She was forci-
bly, taken from Cincinnati to Vicks-
burg and sold as slave. After
seven years she scalded two over
seers and escaped. The property
which represents the fabulous value
mentioned was bequeathed to her
grandfather by Washington when
it was comparatively valueless. As
G w. owned great deal of land in
this county and the old lady's claim
may cover some ofit.-IState Journal.

confined to this city Most of the
cities of the State, among them is
Charleston, Huntington, Point
Pleasant, Martinsburg, Weston,
Grafton, etc, have their Associations
in successful operation, and many
thousands of thrifty citizens are
receiving corresponding benefits.
The poor man is the greatest
beneficiary of the Building Associa-
ton system 1t is more than a
bank to him, for it offers far
greater profit than hecould possibly
obtain upon his saving in any other
way, with the added certainly of a
home for his family. Tlieisum spent
for rent. by the. average family
would, in half u dozen. years, pro-
vide a comfortable home, if invested
in some Association, and there is
little reason why the facilities at
hand insthis regard should not be
more extensively awaited of.
The Mason County Building and
Loan Association, of this place, has
been in operation little over a
year, and has now loaned out to its
members about $4,000, all.of whom
hayc used the money in acquiring a
home, or in discharging liens upon
their houses or farms. The weekly
payments into this Association al
20 cents per share, amounts to over
$500. This Association affords all a
chance to acquire homes, and those
who have no shares in it should I'M,
prove the opportunity at once. The
reading of the above history OF
Building Associations should put
every poor man TO thinking, and he
ought not to rest until he has Sc
cured one or more shares in our
Building Association.

Some persons are trying to work
up the belief that Governor Wilson
will not call the Legislature togetIr-
err and thereby hold the office OF
Governor for two more years. The
Governor may at times be mistaken
in Judgment, but he does nothing
dishonorable. He would no more
do an act like that than he would
burn off one of his hands. He in
tends to do his duty in this emer-
gency as he sees it fearlessiy, and
nothing will be done for which the
Democracy of the State will be
ashamed. In due season the Legis-
lature will be convened.-Iade.r.

And the lilly Of health that's glowing
The cheeks red rose above.
But how soon the lilly and the rose
wither in the faces of onr American wo-

many of them are victims of weakness,
