Many OF the visitors are 30 profusely deco
rated with medals and badges that they are
easily mistaken for vendors of these articles.
Rather funny incident happened to-day
when one OF these gorgeously alfred visitors
was taken for vender and asked the price of q
medal. This riled him somewhat, while the
bystanders laughed, but he finally concluded
that he alone was to blame for it.
At police headquarters about II O'Clock to-
day there appeared an old soldier in all the
trappings OF war; save instead OF musket he
arms. He stated that he had come from that
state to look after pension, and was in search
OF his agent He was directed to the pension
ofice. He showed some indications Of being
little on, stating that Wisconsin was full of
Wolverines in the shape of catholic priests in

preaching In their synagogues, but he did not
scare any more than did Martin Luther.

Exeffaa.

The Reveille has a double loaded
editorial of more than a column warn
ing the Legislature not to pass the bill
which seeks to place the wenban
mill, OF Cortez District, in this county.
Our neighbor should not get excited
over so small a matter. The whole
object is n Of convenience to the
people OF the section mentioned.
There is a small community there
which is cut in twain by the dividing
line between Eureka and Lander
counties. In many matters this divis-
ION is an annoyance to them, and they
ask to have the line so changed as to
set them all over into Eureka. This is
all There isinthe question. The people Of
Eureka do not desire to despoil Lam
der OF any Of her territory or taxable
property. We all have a tender
place for old Lander "the mother Of
counties" and would sooner help than
lnjure her. In truth the people Of
Eureka take no interest in the subject
n way or the other. But the Reve-
lille grows warm and charges in big
type that there is a gang Of Eurekans,
headed by Black Wallace, who are
bent on robbing old Lander OF $780, 900
worth OF her taxable property.

10 is the Union Pacific.

We have known for a good while
that the surveyors in the field just
south Of Eureka represent the Union
Pacific Railroad Company. We are also
morally certain that the definite line
is now being run. The Austin Reyeille
of late date has the following on the
same subject: J. q. Barlow the Di-
vision Civil Engineer for Nevada ar
rived here from Eureka by blackboard
last Monday afternoon, driven by
Marion Farrell of the aforesaid town.
Mr.. Barlow has charge of seven survey
ing parties who are extending their
operations westward, the present
party being the furtherest this way.
Mr.. Barlow signs on the register Dem
yer, Colorado, as his resident city.
We learn that it is the Union Pacific
railroad seeking a route westward to
the Pacific Ocean. From every in
dication, they have selected this
route, and are nov setting the stakes
for the construction forces. A rail-
road would make this country tenfold
more desirable, and the mines one
hundred times more valuable. Let
her come.

1t is estimated that the cost of the
late special election will not fall short
of $4,000. The people must foot the
bill no matter whether it be paid by
the State or county governments. We
have had Republican Legislatures
straight along for years. That party
has shown no aptitude for the man
agement of State affairs. Every right
and interest of the people has been
subordinated TO the demands OF the
railroads and other corporations. The
people should hurl the Republican
party from power in this State at the
earliest opportunity. 1t hasn't an i'm
pulse in common with the great mass
Of people. 1t everywhere serves the
interests OF special classes against the
welfare Of the masses.

RnnerHcIaI Nonsense.

II is now rumored that the pro-lot.
terry members Of the Legislature will
abolish all forms Of licensed gambling
in this State. They are saying that the
verdict of last Monday j~ustifes this
course. They have the numerical
strength to carry out the tn reat If they
feel disposed to do so. The logic of the
situation may seem to be with them,
while the expedienoy Of the case may
be the other way. Such . measure
would iniure a few individuals, deprive
the State and counties OF much needed
revenue, and lift the moral sentiment
Of the community a few pegs higher.
That is the case crystallized as most me n
would view it. But morality and public
virtue cannot be inculcated in . superb
cial way, while the national policy
stands for a system that breeds million.
aires and paupers. When the law makes
fortunes for men without any honest or
adequate effort, vice. RIGHTEOUSNESS and
general decentralization must follow.
There is but one remedy under the sun
for the evil, and it is expecting too much
of our already debauched public m erals
to even hope that it will ever be applied.
The hardest and closest economy and
frugality in every conceivable sphere OF
life, public and private, are the only fac.
tors that afford any promise Of srresting
the general decay. This would result in
reducing and cutting in all directions to
absolute necessities. We might not
have as much money but we would have
better and higher morals. The Demo-
cratic party represents to-day the only
idea in government by which moral ruin
and r~ottenness can be stayed in this
country.

The special election held on last Mon.
day to vote upon certain proposed amend.

together moro people than we have seen
on the streets here at any one time in
several months. The affair passed of
quietly, though there was deep interest
felt in the result and much earnest work
done, especially against amendment No.
%. authorizing the establishment Of q
lottery by the Legislature. The interest
Of our people, in fact. was as pronounced
as that displayed at q general or Presi-
dental election. The feeling Of hostility
to the lottery scheme was especially en-
phatic. Business men and men Of fami-
lies generally voted strong against amend.
ment No. %. There were some evidences
Of money used on the other side, and
towards the close of the polls il became
notorious that the Dudlean tactics Of
" buy 'em in blocks Of five" were being
resorted to. But it was all Of no avail,
and this county returned 9 majority Of
about three to one against all Of the
amendments. Elko. Lander, White Pine,
Nye, Washoe, Churchill and Douglas,
each gave q large majority against the
lottery. Storey, Ormsby, Lyon and Es.
meralda are reported to have gone for
the amendments. We have not heard
from Lincoln. Il is safe to say, however,
that the lottery is beaten in the State by
q majority ranging from 800 to 1000.

Seven weeks have elapsed since the sun
reached his greatest southern declinstion.
and yet We have had comparatively little
winter. January was very mild. Six
weeks more and the suns northward ad-

unlikely that the coolest weather Of the
