The rain fell fast The troubled skies before the strong wind driven Now, like lOwly penitent forgiven. A smile the tear stained lace hath passed. And sobblng Earth is recOaciled to Heaven. Peace let us hold our peace. She is not here To bid the buebell welcome as of old; And when the sapphire woodland we behold We bow the head, and say she held it dear To watch the awakening earth her wealth unfold. Peace let us hold our peace-her peace is ours; Here, we wander through the woods alone, Heart whlspereth unto heart in happy tone. What need, amid the newly risen flowers. To read "Resurgam" written on the stone? Peace! let us hold our peace-our peace is hers; Beyond our voices she hath found her rest. The silent evening burneth iu the west; And by her own stilltongued interpreters The peaceful message IS made manifest Then leave the wind flower quie. Tn the wood.

A committee of the Nevada
Legislature will visit Sacramento
next Monday for the purpose OF
urging the California law makers to
pass law prohibiting the deposit
ing of .sawdust into the Truckss riv-
er.
We are authorized to state that
there will be no opposition tc the
passage of the bill made by the
millmen of the vicinity, and those
who expect to get any portion OF a
sack on that account will get fool
ed. 1t is not probable that mill
man or q representative of one Will
be in Sacranento during the legis-
lative session.
The millnen have been harrassed
enough by threats in the matter.
A bill has been introduced to pro-
hibit the putting of savdust into
streams, and the Nevada committee
can secure the passage of the bill if
they try.
1t will hurt some of our millmen,
but they will abide the law, and if
necessary will shut down their mills.
The Nevada people who are the
cause OF this urfriendly legislation
need expect no fayors of our lumber
men in the matter of irrigation. 1t
is in their power to let much water
60 to waste in the Spring which is
usually stored until late in the
Summer, when it is useful to the
ranchers near Reno. These ranch
ers might find themselves without
water next summer, and with con-
sequeat short crops.
No doubt but that the millmen
wonld be willing to compromise on
this sawdust matter, but there
seems to be disposition on the part
of.the Nevada people to take the
pound of flesh. II it IS the Shylock
game that they are playing, they
should bear in mind the fate that

TIE ORPHANS, HOME BOARD

The removal Of Mr.. Williams by
the Board having in charge the
management of the Home is merely
an official act always within the
province of the Board to perform.
The Board appointed Mr.. Will
Jams and finding that he did not
meet their expectations as a man
ager OF the Home they have notified
him that his resignation is in order
to take effect Feb. /. 1889.
The APPEAL has been asked many
times during Mr.. Williams incum-
bency to publish criticisms of the
methods employed by him in his
conduct of the institution, but has
generally declined to accsed to these
requests except where the parties
making the charges were willing
and able to assume all responsibility.
Some years ago the APPEAL made
an expose of a former manager OF
the Institution and 1t raised such
hue and cry frsn persons who
were ignorant OF the facts that We
decided in the future to let time
and not the APPEAL brin. the facts
to the surface.
Time did show that the APPEAL
was correct as it generally does IN
such cases. While We have no
comments to make in this Instance
we would advise the friends of Ar.
Williams to allow the Board to
handle the matter as they are duly
and legally qualified and have not
acted without due consideration OF
the subject. They know just what
they are about and are fully prepar-
ed to show good cause for their
action if anybody is anxious to know
the why's and wherefores of the
case.
Mr. Williams is charged with no
illegal act by the Board but simply
an inadaptibility 70 properly con-
duct the institution in manner
intended to promote the welfare
of the inmates.
The move was made in the best
interests of the State, and generally
Endorsed by the community.
