Another Horror.

Saturday DR.. Hanson received a dis
patch from Elko requesting him to go
to Ruby Valley, where a man named
Thomas O'Connor was found in his
house with his throat cut. The Elko
Independent says O'Connor, who has
been farming and blacksmithing in
Ruby Valley for years, was conscious
when discovered, but unable to speak,
and he wrote a statement accusing his
wife and daughter of cutting his thoat.

AN IMMENSE FRAuD.
How IN Legislature Proposes 10
smugsie Through the Lottery
Amendment.

How the hegtstature 10
smuggie Through the Lottery
Amendment.
In another part Of this paper we
print the amendments to the State
Constitution. The haste with which
the special election is to be rushed
through, is solely in the interest Of
amendment No. %, better known as
the Lottery amendment. II is claimed
for the scheme that it is to benefit the
State. This is a delusion and a snare.
The State may receive a few thousand
dollars each year for granting a fran
chise for this grand fraud, but in doing
so it will in the long run lose dollars
where it receives cents, to say nothing
OF the disgrace and immortality attend
ing the scheme. A lottery in this
State will bring ON idleness, vice,
crime and poverty. No other State in
the Union, except Louisiana, is per-
mitted to maintain a lottery, and she
would give thousands of dollars to rid
herself OF it, but the n of the
lottery hold a franchise, and until that
expires the State can do nothing.
Millions of money could not induce
lhe State Of Louisiana TO renew the
license. She has had an experience
with lotteries and wants no more OF
them. Should the Lottery amend
ment carry, and a franchise be granted
by the Legislature, Nevada will find
herself in the same predicament MS
Louisiana in a few short years, when
it will be impossible to undo what is
now proposed to be done.
The intention OF the instigators and
promoters Of this scheme is to have the
Lottery amendment sanctioned by the
people at the election on the 18th in
slant, then a bill will be at once rushed
through the Legislature asking hat a
franchise for a lottery be granted to a
company composed Of a dozen or
more persons. A franchise Of this
kind is reputed to be worth a million
or two dollars, which the dozen or so
promoters will get, either by running
a lottery in their own interest or sell
ing their franchise--possibly to the
Louisiana Lottery Company, whose
franchise will expire in less than
two years, and who know the value
Of lottery franchise grant for % or 30
years. All the promoters of the Lou
isiana Lottery are millionaires, made
so by the enormous profits they re-
ceive from their lottery business,
which, it is claimed for them, they
have done on the square. Would a
Nevada lottery be run on the square?
Hardly.
We hope the voters Of this State
will not allow a few old political har-
lots, who infest our Legislature at
every session, to prostitute the in
terests and honor of the State to sat
isfy their insatiate greed. II they do,
they should not blame the people OF
the East for calling Nevada " the rot
ten borough" and might add, putrid.
Nevada does not want a lottery.
Let the promoters OF the scheme
make a raise in some other direction.

n They O

Comptroller Halleck figures that the
fourteen county governments Of Nevada
cost annually about $1,000, 900. The
State government requires 5000, 900 more.
Here we have wrung from our sparse
population annually the enormous sum
Of 81, 200. 900 for State and county pur-
poses. Il is outrageous. and no other
people In the world would submit to it.
We would be glad to think that the pres.
emit Legislature would do something to
tighten these burdens rather than in
crease them. But we have no faith that
il will. Junketing at public expense is
not the way to relieve the taxpayer.
