FRIENDSHIP.

He that hath friends must ,how friendly. -i Prov. xviii, H.
 Man is social being. X recluse or hermit is a monomaniac. The family, the church and the state, are all illustrations of this gregarious tendency in human nature. The family is necessary to the perpetua- ton of the race. the church is neces- sary to its purity. and the state is es- sential to its securitp. Faith is the bond of friepdship, the safeguard of the family, the sheet-anchor of the church. and the basis of the state. But such is the nature of man that the intimacy and confidence of friend shin seems seem to be necessary to to his social well-being. The helps, and sympathies, and consultations Of true friendship have been realized and acknowledged in all ages. A true friend is rare treasure--a friend in need is friend indeed. But in order to have as well as to re- tain friends, one must show himself friendly.
 Kindness ought to be practiced to- wards all, but especially towards our friends. Kind words are good, but kind deeds are better. If a Christian has any earthly friends on whom he can safely depend, they are his brethren of the household of faith, hence the apostolic injunction, Do good to all men, especially to them who are of the household of faith, is peculiarly appropriate. Reciproc- ity seems to be the law of the moral universe. Give and take, love and be be loved, whatsoever measure Ye mete unto men the same shall he 
 meted unto yon. Friendship, like love, is based upon attractive and commendahle traits of character, such as win esteem and excite ad- Any person. therefore. who possesses good qualities of head and heart is sure to have friends.
 It has been doubted whether there is any disinterested love or friend ship in the world. Of one thing we. are assured, that the love of God for man is spontaneous and disinterested. and if there is any human love that is disinterested it is the love in- volved in friendship. But whatever

GRAND JURY REPORT.
NEVADA CmcUrT CorRT, {
 NnN. Term. lSSq.

Nov. Term, 1889.
 To the Hon. C. F.. Mitchell, {, Judge.-Ihe grand jury for the Nov. term. 1889, beg leave to re- port: That they have presented true bills m all eases of violations of crim- inal laws, of which theyi had knowl- edge or could receive information.
 They find the various county of fees properly kept. They examined the jail and found it well kept and in good sanitary condition, but in need of repairs. The roof espe cially needs repairing. and outside blinds or shutters are recommended for the prisoner rooms. The steps are in bad condition and need repairing.
 The court house roof should be re- paired at once, and thoroughly, be- fore the building is seriously injured.
 We find the poor farm in bad con dition-the fences down and the roof of the side room to the house rotten and leaky. The inmates seem to be we'll cared for and comfortable. Im- mediate attention should be given to the well, which needs re-curbing.
 We find that the bridges across the Carouse and Caney needs repairs, to which we call the attention of the Honorable County Judge.
 We find nothing in the report of the commissioners of accounts re- quiring our action.
 We wish to say with regard to the matter of persons convicted of misdemeanors in the Circuit Court, and throughout the county, that we are advised that the suggestion has been made to the County Court, to put such county convicts at work on some public improvement, and VIC most heartily endorse that sug- gestion. We are aware that it would involve the expense of employing g guard. but that expense would be but tri1ing, compared to the good that would be accomplished, by lettering ] persons the commission of crimes, and the saving thereby effected ir i the expenses of our courts. We have observed that convictions bear SC lightly upon some of these offenders that they are regularly before the Circuit court on criminal charges and we feel assured that such would not be the case if they were put tC work on some public improvement We trust that His Honor, the Coun ty Judge, will take steps to bring about this result.
 Since returning bills against San Muckabee and Jeff Gully, for file gal cohabitation, additional testimO ny has been presented to us, whicl convinces us that said bills can no be sustained, and we ask the Prose cutting Attorney to dismiss the same
 And. now, having completed OH labors, with our thanks to the cour and its officers. we respectfully asI to be discharged.

Good Advice in d Nutshell.

There are four organs in the hu- man body which are vital in their functions and delicate in their struc- ture, and which give us all immense amount of trouble. These are the Heart. Stomach, Kidneys and Liver,
 If they give us trouble it is because they neglect or abuse them, and of course we must bear the consequent ces. The diseases of these organs are very nemerous and often dangerous. Luckily we now have q remedy which has proved just the thing for thus diseases. It Is Pe-ru-na, purely vegetable compound, that strikes right at the root of the whole trouble. The preparation was used by Dr. Hartman most successfully III his general practice for years before it was placed before the general public; and it was its remarkable success in his practice that led him to place Il before the public for the benefit of mankind everywhere. As a Tonic it is uneNcelled, building up the sys- tenn weakened by constant toil, either mental or physical. As remedy for Lung Troubles, such as Con sumption, it has accomplished won ders.

may he said about the affection of friendship, there can be no doubt a> the necessity of reciprocal trlcndil- ness in order to retain and pcrpctu- ate this beautiful relation. Too Of- ten when diversity and misfortune overtakes one, many of those who were friends in prosperity, drop off and become cold and indifferent but during the ordeal the dross is separated, and the true gold appears. In times of diversity, therefore. we can easily discover our true friends. They value Us for ourselves, for what we are, not for what we possess. The crucial test is applied, and our true friends still show themselves friendly, notwithstanding our fallen fortunes and our unfavorablc surroundings. It is well that some way is provided for distinguishing between the true and the false, but it is a sad experience, and illustrates the vanity of earthly hopes.
 But there i- a friend that sticketh closer than brother; and although your father and mother may forsake you, that friend will never leave you, nor for,ake you This friend is your Heavenly Father. the father of the spirits of all flesh. He ESQ loved the world that he gave his only bcgotten Son. that who-ocycr bclieycth in him should not perish but have cverlast- ing life" and we should SD attach ourselves Co him hy faith and obedi- cncc that We may secure his fricnd- ship for tlmc and eternity The Lord demands our love, and every consideration ut interest aui happi- ness con~pirc- tp enforce the demand.

DEMOCRACYS DAY.
Victory Perches on Her Banners, all Along
 the Line.
OHIO AND IOWA COME INTO
 THE FOLD.
The Republican Administration and the Bloody-Shirters Se-
 verely Rebuked.

The election held on Tuesday, the 5th, inst, resulted in grand and glorious victory for the Democrats all over the Union-it was emphati- cally Democracy's day.
 Ohio elected a Democratic gov ernor and legislature, thus forever burying bloody-shirt Foraker. In Ohio the tariff was largely discussed, and Governor-elect Campbell thus brought about the victory, which will hereafter either make Ohio a Demo- cratic State, or very doubtful Repub- lcan.
 Iowa elected Boise, Democrat, as governor, with Republican leg islature by a very small majority. <, Grand old Virginia is again safely in ranks-gavc Mckinley, Democrat, over g ,0OO majority; legislature largely Democratic. Mahoneism IS forever showed under.
 New York shows heavy Demo cratic gains. reaching between %, GOO and 90. 1000 majority.
 New Jersey, too, increases her Democratic majority-elected 38 ont of 60 representatives in her legisla' turc. thus insuring the election of 1 |. S. Senator.
 Maryland gave a handsome Demo cratic majority-stilI holds with q firm grip the legislature.
 Mississippi had tame election only one ticket in the field, Demo cratic.
 Massachusetts closc-big gains for the Democrats.
 Little change in other States, in which local elections were held.
 Taken as q whole. it was Water loo defeat for the Republicans who little expected to be showed under so readily. Bad management by the ! Harrison administration, Tannerism, and local issues assisted the Democ- racy in accomplishing the glorious result. In sections the Democratic idea of low tariff won many votes. This i. the growing question of the day. the live issue, as Gov. Camp bell says, May it continue to de yclop until low taxes and genera prosperity, under good Democratic government, ensues.
 This election materially changes the political topography of the coun itrv. showing a> il does that the West k the battle-ground O both parties. Campbell, of Ohio i' now named as good timber for Pres idcnt or Nice-Prcsidcnt on the Demo cratic ticket, in the next nationa election.

A terrible tragedy was enacted m Louisville, Ky, on the Sth inst in which one man was killed and an other mortally wounded. Goodloe and Swope are the names Of the parties involved in this sad affair both of whom are prominent Repub- licans, the former revenue collector for the Eth district of Kentucky. IL seems they were rival Republican leaders. and had a serious misunder- standing about two years ago, which was patched up through the inter vention of mutual friends. They met in the postolIice, in the new govern ment building, whither they had gone to get their mail, and after some sharp words engaged in a life and death encounter with pistol and knife.

Another significant fact crops out in the late elect!ons, that the great West is forging to the front as ar bitter of financial policies as well as Presidential aspirations. The solid South and the giant West will con trol the next Presidential election, and some typical Western stateman will bear the standard of the advanc- ing hosts of Democracy to victory and glory in 1892. As the poet has truly said, "Westward the star of empire take its way. Who our gal Iant leader will be it is too early yet to determine, but he will be some grend exponent of the glorious prin- ciples of the free and unterrifed Democracy, under which our Re public has been best illustrated in the past.
