The Water storage ELL.

The Water Storage bill is creating
quite a scandal, especially the manner
by VIII ich Blakeslee became one OF the
Commissioners. MIR. Clark, who was
FIST appointed, and afterwards prevailed
upon by Blnkesles to tender his resigna-
ton, the latter getting the second ap.
p intment, Inns now telcgraphed the
Governor that he will servo, and that he
Vas induced 10 resign through n,srep-
resentation. BMkeslee, Of Winnie
mucca, has got himself into q hornets
nest, aud the only way he can crawl
ont honorably, is to resign. The Stor-
aye bill is ono of the biggest jobs that
ha. b. ell engineered through the Lpgis-
lature for mahy u year, Austin Rev

AN UNTENAB rUSICION.

In his argument before the jury on
Wednesday J. w. Dorsey Esq. took
t.e position that, even admitting that
Ills client, 5. n. Streeter, is guilty as
clnrged, one of tho daughters is
married, the other was two thousand
miles away and hence there was no
dmng>r that the defendent could do
the IL further injury; therefore it would
dropped, better for the daughters who
were brought into Court to testify
against their father, for the reason that
in time the affair would have blown
o|er anu the girl then in Iowa might
ave married and become
happy wife and mother, aud the family
saved the shame of a criminal prosecu-
ton against the father.
Adopting this theory and following it
to its logical conclusion We would find
it necessary, in u large number of crimi-
nnl cases, to shield crime in order to
prevent disgracing O family. A man
having noble wife aud O number OF
respectable children is convicted of O
deliberate, cold.blooded murder; but his
family is dependent upon his labor for
their daily bread; should he be con-
vlcted and punished in accordance with
INV. his family is not only deprived o.
their means of support but his children
are forever disgraced end their lives
made burden by the stigma, "your
father WAS hanged" which Hou Id fol-
low them to the ends OF the earth. In
the name of humanity drop tho matter
aud let tho murderer 60 freel A man
i accused OF burglary; he has a wife
aud childr en-; he and his family have
heretofore horne an irrepronchable
character; the evidence is conclusivs as
to the guilt OF the criminal; but if he
be- sent to the p"nitentiory his family
will be forever disgraced. For the sake
of the wife and children let the criminal
go free, and do not disgrace respectn-
Die family by dragging them into Court
and before the public in a criminal
prosecution, as there is no probability
that the accused will ever be guilty of a
like offense.
While it is unfortunate that in crimi-
nal prosecutions the innocnt are often
made to suffer the consequences Of the
crime of one near to them by the ties

ment i'll favor of shielding an infamous

She Paid the Bill.

"No, L haven't any news of importance
for you," said Mr.. NJ ]. Cullen, the under
taker, "but / can tell you a mighty nice
little story, the truth of which my books
will verify. 1t is about the noble action
of a little girl who came to me about fif-
teen years ago. She was then about IL
years of age, and despite the fact that her
outward appearance suggested parental
negligence, she appeared to have an hon
est heart. It was about seven o'clock of
a cold January evening when she wake j
into my Office almost frozen and crying
bitterly. She asked TO see me, and when
[ made myself known she stopped crying
and told me very pitiful story that
would often soften the heart in the cold
est of persons. She said she lived near
my stable, that her father was drunkard
and her mother was dead. She and a
little brother years of age, of whom she
thought the world, we're cared for by the
nejghbors when the father was on spree,
and despite the fathers misconduct, the
little girl could not be induced TO leave
MIN. She Kept the house and prepared
the meals. She bore her lot philosophy
oalLy and tried TO be happy, but her whole
peace of mind was almost wre cked when
brother died. He was her pet, and the
two were much attached to one another.
"She again burst into tears, and between
heavy soos she said that on account of
fathers evil ways there was no money in
the house, and she did not know how ner
brother could be buried. She had been
told that the city would bury the remains
but when she looked into the manner in

and that instead of hears, wagon would
take him to potter's feId-ske became
almost frantic and would not allow it.

white hearse, with white horses, and his
remains OF be taken to Calvary cemetary

as I get money | was touched by the
story, and went to the home of the child
and there Learned the truth OF her state

girl. I Immediately took charge of the
