SOLID SENSE.

An Eastern exchange says: No man
who observes with ordinary care the signs
Of the times, can fail to note the rapid
growth Of the idea that eventually the
United States will govern this entire con-
tinent. 1 was forcibly reminded OF this
while listening to a few remarks In the
House made by Representative Chapman
of Michigan, in favor Of the bill charter
ing the Nicaragua Canal Company. He
said: "The day for legislation has passed.
Voices from all parts Of the world are
warning the United States Of this-voices
from the isthmus, from Canada, from
Samoa. from wherever foreign nations
have planted their flags. The attempt
to make il impracticable for American
enterprise to plant itself in foreign coun.
tries is too late. The time has come for
a naughty and dictatorial American pol.
icy. We are carrying the flag into that
region Of Central America. 1t is c brave
step, and / for one hope that this step is
only q prelude to the day when the ma
tion will follow, and as a people will
plant our feet in those regions, and when
our flag shall wave over the State of MIC
aragua as a State Of the United States
of America"
The applause which followed Mr.. Chip
mans little speech was fairly deafening
for a moment, showing that he had but
voiced the sentiment oil many Of his col.

An a~nti-lottery man made the above
remark on hearing another condemn
the appropriation Of $4,000 for the
purpose of defraying the expenses OF
the special election just taken place.
"Why," said he, "there never was q
better outlay Of money than it, for
now that q State Lottery is a hope
less affair q general rush will be made
to ascertain who are selling Louisiana
tickets, and all caught in the act will
be dealt with according to law. The
officers OF several counties have been
sadly derelict in the performance Of
their duty in this regard, but from
this time on no excuse will be accepted
and woe to him who for friendship OF
fear shall neglect to carry out the re-
quirements OF the law in this regard.
The man, woman or child who offers a
lottery ticket for sale is amenable to
the punishment prescribed by the law
makers Of the State, and from this
time on such an espionage will be had
that none can possibly escape the
penalty OF their acts, hence l con
clude that the money referred to will
ere long be acknowledged to have
been well spent"
Whilst differing with the gentleman
as to the propriety Of spending SC
much money at such a time and for sc
scandalous q purpose, We agree on ont
point, viz: The stoppage by the
proper officers OF the nefarious practice
Of young and old peddling lottery
tickets or having them for sale in any
Office or store in Nsvada.-Carsor

THE LOTTERY AMENDMENT.

Made to Rssify 10 By Throwing Ont
ReIIoss.
The following relative to the Lottery
amendment was telegrsphed last week
from Virginia City:
The ballots cast in Wsshoe. Elko and
probably the other eastern counties oil
the State against the Amendments TO
the Constitution authorizing q State
lottery, were two inches short Of the
length prescribed by the election
proclamation issued by the Commission
ers in these counties. The p~ro'lottery
advocates here assert they will contest
the election, and demand the rejection Of
all ballots moi Of the prescribed size.
The majority in the State against the
lottery is above 500, and the anti.lottery
ballots cast not conforming to the pre-
scribed size will probably exceed 500.
II these are thrown out il will give
the election to the pro-lottery advo'
Gates. The anti.lottery people claim
the ballots were sent from Carson and
~purposely prepared short OF the pre-
scribed length in order to defeat the
will Of the people being expressed at
.be polls. II an attempt is made 70
throw out the anti. lottery vote, . gen.
eral rising Of the people opposed to the
lottery promoters is threatened. A
number Of employees of the mines. the
Superintendents Of which were the lot.
terry promoters. have been discharged
for voting against the scheme. The
| pro.lottery contingent charge Senator
Jones' party with treachery, and claim
| that while Jones did not openly oppose
the lottery. every employe in The
mines controlled by him voted against
| the measure.

A bill was introduced in the United

steads. 1t provides that where settlers
have entered 100 acres Of land and set

may extend the boundaries Of heir
claim over the 80 acres adjacent TO the
land which may be unsurveyed. and
when it is surveyed by the United States
the lines of survey shall conform

Under the present laws settlers fire..

Impurities In the blood produce diseases
Bodily and mental health depend upon o
