The Marriage Question.

This is a question Of which I made a life

matrimonial roses. The question and answer
are as clear In my mind now az tho rising sun

to the happy days Of childhood, which have

TIMBER.

The Virginia Chronicle says: In their
researches for truth the agents Of the
Government may 60 too far 1t would
be q great hardship to the mine owners
and the great number Of men employed
by them in Nevada should action on the
timber question not be regulated by fair
ness born of intelligence on the subject.
Mr.. Bliss of Carson. though an interested
party, still evidently gives fair testimony
to the authorities at Washington, who
are looking into the question Of cutting
timber in this State.
That most bare-faced and openhanded
robberies have been committed on the
lands of the Government is beyond q
doubt. and means should be adopted to
have these robbers punished; but the
grubbers Of scrub timber, which is of no
use except for frewood, should not be
sacrificed when it would be the proper
thing to make examples of criminals Of
greater power.

YIRIUOUs NEVADA.

San Francisco Post: The moral back
bone developed in Nevada is truly re-
markable, and the customary sneers at
the abandoned ungodliness OF the sage
brush State should be heard no more.
In spite of an OVERLOOKING sack, specious
arguments and the pressure of an expen-
sive government on q small population,
the constitutional amendment to estab-
lish lotteries in the State has been de-
fested by a good majority.
1t is stated that one advocate OF the
lottery scheme spent $780, 900 in cold coin
in the effort to pass the amendment, and
that certificates OF stock in the proposed
lottery company can be found in every
home in Nevada. But Nevada remains
firm, and leaves Louisiana the proud pc.
sition of being the only State degraded
enough to go into partnership with the
"sure thing" lottery game.
Faro and the Comstock are bad enough.
but one must draw the line somewhere.
Nevada gains much credit by drawing il
at lotteries.

WHAT FATHER NATTINI SAID.

Last Sunday Father Nattini thanked,
from his pulpit. the writer of the compli'
mentary article in the SENTINEL in refer
ence to the lottery agitation, but respect
fully declined to accept all that was said
in it. He stated that according to the
laws Of sound moral philosophy, the ties.
timony of history, and the dictates OF
common sense, the use Of chance is not
wrong in principle. but may result in ex
ceeding wrong in practice. Hence, when
circumstances make the latter harmless,
chance is not Objectionable, as in the case
Of a rattle for the relief Of the poor or the
like; but when the practice of chance is
attended by concomitant recklessness,
vice and passion, which is a well known
fact in a public lottery or gambling table,
it is a social evil to be utterly deprecated
and banished from civilized countries.

pointment OF the Apostles, and the usages

their people, discovered q drunken

against the use of China gin, hilari-
ously drunk in Chinatown. Believing
that their temperance lectures would

THE ELECTION EXPENSES.

J.. F. Hallock, State Controller, has
written q letter TO T. v. Julien, County
Clerk, advising him that before the claims
for the expenses Of the late election are
paid, they will have to be acted upon by
the State Board Of Examiners. By an
act that was passed, $4,000 was sppro-
priated to defrsy the expenses Of the
election, and the Boards Of County Com.
missioners in the respective counties were
required to certify these expenses to the
State Controller, who, upon the receipt
of the certificate, was required to draw
his warrant upon the State Treasury in
favor OF the Chairman Of the Board Of
County Commissioners for the amount so
certified. The stand taken by the State
Controller may be provoked by Q safe de.
gree Of caution, but it apparently is in
the face OF a mandatory law. II may be
possible that the law is in conflict with
certain provisions Of the Constitution. II
this be so, then the probabilities are that
further legislation will be necessary to
liquidate these claims, which should have
been honored by the county directly.
rather than by the indirect route through
the State Treasury. In some counties
the expenses are nearly double those in
other counties representing greater tax
able property. The taxpayers have to
foot the bill whether they are honored
by the county or State, and the most de.
cent thing to do, il the Controller has no
power to draw his warrants for the claims
as presented, is for the Legislature to rel.
egate these claims to their respective
counties, and have them audited by the
proper authorities, the County Commits.

torney in the prosecutions. is DESTROYS OF
having a very large number Of citizens
of Nevada subpwnaed TO testify in the
case. lie proposes that the Government
shall pay their expenses. and IL is very
probable that there are plenty OF men
now out Of employment by reason OF the
shutting down Of the mines who would
like to attend the Inauguration il their
expenses could be paid. Several OF
them have written letters to their friends
TO that effect. 1t is understood that the
Commissioned will ask to have these
persons brought here as witnesses. He
nrobably does not know the motives
which induce their willingness to come.
"Ex-Congressman Wren Of Nevada
is here to look after the interests Of the
miners and will testify in the case. II
the Government can succeed in stopping
the cutting Of this scrubby timber in
Eastern Nevads, as the Commissioner
proposes, it will depopulate that portion
Of the State, aud although the whole
schemeseems gerry absurd to people ia
miliar with the facts, il is really 9 very
serious matter unless the Government
can be induced to desist. Although the
statute is plain that the miners have q
right to cut timber for mining and do
nestle purposes, still the Government
has replevied q large amount OF wood
and coal from the miners, and will hold
the same during the litigation, which
means ruin however the case may be de.
cided.
Judge Sabin has decided that they
have a right to cutsany kind OF timber
for mining and domestic purposes under
| the statute, bnt this does not appear to
have any influence with the Commits
| sioner Of the General Land Office or the
| Attorney General. The liberal appropri'
| atoms on the part OF the Government
for special agents and special counsel are
a great inducement to lively prosecu-
ton Just at this time. The object Of the
investigation is TO collect the real facts,
so that when the new Administration
| comes in this raid on the miners may be
speedily stopped"
