realize that the turn in cattle
values has come and frequent in

A section of land in Fresno,

Tie Game OF Keno.

While we must all agree that
gambling is pernicious pastime,
it is nevertheless true that there
are various grades of the offense
against public morals.
This consecutive journal never
did believe in those Baccanalian
revels with the G. ddess Of Chance
in the cinch room of the Palace
Hotel or the faro drns of Sacra-
mento, but in a quiet little turn #
Fortunes wheel at keno game
there can be but slight objection
on the part OF the moralist.
Keno exercises the mathamat-
ical tendency Of the mind and
soothes the brow of care. No one
ever loses much at the game. 1t
takes all night 20 lose four dol
lars, and when a twelve-dollar pot
floats in on you it enables you to
walk up to the newspaper Office
at once and settle your last years
subscription,
In connection with this we rise
to remark that Mr.. Nudge Mara
has opened keno game for the
season at the Monarch saloon.

BEGINNING TO HEDGE.
An Assemblyman VINO Should be
Spotted For Future Refer

ences.
The Elko Independent publishes
the following article which ought
to set a good many people think
ing. 1t says:
John Ainley, one Of the Assem-
blymen-elect from this county,
was in favor of the Australian
ballot system of voting until re-
Gently, but low a change seems
to have come over the spirit of
his dreams, and he says he is not
in favor of the measure. When
asked why, he said that it will
give too much opportunity for
fraud in elections. He also says
that ne considers our election laws
better than the Australian sys-
TEN.
Tt seems little strange that an
intelligent man should announce
that our present system, which
permits the wholesale aud open
purchase Of votes, a system by
which any man can be elected to
any office in the State, provided
he puts up a sufficient amount of
coin, is better for the people and
will entail a less amount Of fraud
than a system which precludes
the possibility OF purchasing votes
and insures fair expression of
the will Of the people in the Sc
lection OF officers. 1t may be pos
sible that Mr.. Ainley is paving the
way to oppose the adoption of the
Australian ballot system, provid-
ed that when the Legislature
meets he shall find majority of
his party forninst the measure.
The system has proved admirable
in the accomplishment OF the OBJ
ject which was sought in its
adoption wherever it has been
tried, and we do not believe the
honest men of either party will
uphold their representative in
opposing its adoption in Nevada.
The APPEAL is informed that
certain parties are already work
ing an effort 30 prevent the adop-
tim of the Australian ballot sys-
tenn in this State. The APPEAL
does not know who these parties
are and cares less, but if we do
not mistake the temper OF the
people, those who attempt to
NEEDLE with their progress of bal
lot reform in this state, will find
themselves in bad box before
they get through.
Election day in this State, has
witnessed most STAINLESS exhibit
tons Of open purchase of voters
and it has reached point where
decent men are calling T a halt
An attempt was made at the
last session to pass such a bill.
and the men who voted for it
turned tail on a good act well
performed and "reconsidered"
their work. It was the rankest
cowardice ever witnessed in leg
islature
The APPEAL invites communi-
cations on this subject from the
Ormsby Delegation.

Fuzzy Neckties.

Fred Heven, who deals in gentlemen's
furnishing goods in wholesale way, was
in party recently, when member OF
the group stepped to the adjacent mirror
and attempted to adjust his stubborn
necktic. IL cant make it stay in place.
he complained, land guess I'll have to
throw it away. It's about time, l think,
because it is worn and all covered with
fuzz" Hewen stepped toward the young
man and regarded the fourin-h hand scarf
with a critics eye. Take it off 9
moment" he said, Sand I'll fix it for
you" The young man removed it and
handed it over. Hewcn struck a match,
and, when it was burning well, he held
it near the necktic. The flame Tapped
off the fuzz in an instant, and the tie was
returned looking as good as new. almost.
"Nevcr throw away fuzzy ties" said
Fred. "Burn Of the fuzz in that way
and you'll get twice the wear out of
them" Here is pointer for economical
young men who are careful of their per-
sona' appearance. Chicago Herald.

London Truth calls attention to the
following Illustration of the anomalies
resulting from the preposterous English
rates for "ocean postage" A letter from
any part of the United States goes to
India for five cents. From England the
postage is ten cents. The United States
letters are actually transmitted through
England. That is to say, letter may
come from San Francisco to New York,
thence to Liverpool and thence to India
for half the postage of letter from
Liverpool to India.

TIE OLD CRADLE.

I'm banished to the garnet now;
My busy days are DER;
Within my sheltering embrace
The babies sleep no more.
No more, as in the by-gone hours,
My drowsy beat keeps time
In patient. sleepy monotone
With the old nursery rhyme,
Rock ABLY, baby, on the tree-top.
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock.
The last rays of the settling sun
Slant through the windows small;
They light the garret's dusky gloom,
And on my head they fall.
Along their level bars of gold
Old pictures come and go;
Again hear the mothers voice
Singing so soft and low,
Crock by. baby. on the tree-top;
When the wind blows the cradle will rock"
All me, where once the baby heads
The downy pillows prest,
Within my ample oaken hood
The spider has her nest.
Empty. 70 gotten, and alone.

The last words OF a quaint old song
Fall like a parting sigh,
"when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
Down will go baby and cradle and all"

want room!" asked the clerk.
There is no use of going to the cx-
pcnse of hiring a room, was the answer,
''for only few hours. l expect to go
West tonight, but I'd like some place to
change my clothing"
'Lct me give you parlor room for
few hours"
''No. There are few people in the
Mushroom; l can change my shirt in
there and then sit around the office for a
few hours. No need of spending money
fOolishly."
The guest changed his linen in the
Mushroom and then began to clean his
silk hat and coat with little rag and
bottle of benZine.
The eccentric person was John |. Blair,
of New Jersey, whose wealth is estimated
at fabulous amounts. He is rated to be
worth from $40, 900, 900 to 800, 0O0, 900,
yet he was seated in IA portcr's chair in
the Pacific yesterday scrubbing his old
