Post Mortem Examination.

The Carson Tribune still runs the
Platform and Resolutions adopted at
the Republican State Convention held
at Virginia City, Nevada, Sept. 4. 1890,
in which we find the following:
The crime Of filibustering, so often
resorted to by the Democratic party
for the purpose of defeating legisla-
ton and blocking the wheels Of
government, has been done away with
by the genius Of Reed, Mckinley and
their associates, and the offenders
taught that Congressman are paid by
the people for making good laws and
not bad politics.
The recent election shows how the
people regard "Reed, Mckinley and
their associates" and the "good laws'
passed at the instance Of these truly
good and wise patriots. In view of
past events the Tribune would do we'll
to dispense with it's literary corpse.

Superintendent of Schools.

There is ruuIor that the forth
coming Legislature will abolish the
Office of County Superintendent of
Schools. We desire most heartily TO
protest against such action. We are
in favor of economy, but there is no
economy in striking desth blow at
FREQ schools to save a few dollars
Instead Of abolishing the Office the
Legislature should increase the salary
to at least 800 per month in order
that that officer should receive a
compensation something near COM
mensurate with the duties OF the
office. We have tried the position,
and we undertake to say that no
officer is so poorly paid as the County
uperintendent Of Schools. With a
salary of $50 a month the Superin-
tendent does more work than the Dis
trict Attorney with $4,000 a year, OF
the Treasurer with $1,000 year. Let
the Office Of County Superintendent
remain and increase the salary, but
cut down expenses in other quarters.

A Cruel Practice.

All who have seen horses suffering
from the torture of the overhead
check will agree with the following:
About 500 veterinary surgeons in
Great Britain signed a paper con-
demning overhead check-reins as
painful to horses and productive of
disease.
It is cruel in the extreme, causing
distortion OF the windpipe to such q
degree as to impede the respiration
ever afterward, and various other
diseases, such as excoriation of the
mouth and lips, paralysis Of the mus
cles Of the face, megrims, apoplexy,
coma and inflammation and softening
of the brain, all these resulting in
shortening the life of the horse.
Pray abolish it at once, and use
your influence with others, for it is
cruel, senseless fashion. The sarle
may be said of binders, rs per cent.
Of which can be removed with perfect
safety to-day.
That the overhead check is cruel
and hurtful does not seem to admit of
doubt. Horses upon which it is
placed almost always acquire habit
of lifting or tossing the head in order
to relieve the strain upon the neck,
aud its continued application pro.
duces well-established Diseases Elk.

Snrino sanitation

Clean out the cellar. At this season of

Al renOvating everything out of doors, it
Is the time we were following her exam
pie in the house.
Whitewash may be abundantIy and
cheapIy supplied and there is no reason
why it should not be literally applied.
There is an odor of cleanliness about white
wash, but better still it is cleanliness itself,
and likewise a deodorizer and disinfect-
ant.
Let the ceiler walls be first scrubbed
down and then thoroughly doused with
whitewash. Remove all fostering veget-
abes, for remembering that even in
sprouting potatoes to be used for seed there
present myriad germs Of disease.
At this time, too, care should be taken
that the cellar drains are in proper work
ing order, for during the winter they
frequently become clogged. and until
cleared are unable to carry off the
spring rains Such drains are often
sources of danger, if, as is sometimes the
case, they lead to or discharge into cess
pools where GIsease-dealing sewer gas is
generated. See to it that such gas can
not back up into the cellar or gain
access to the house by means of the drain
from the kitchen sink
The latter household nuisance should al
so be carefully looked after, and it is bet
ter, perhaps. to do away with a sink drain
altogether A swill-barrel upon wheels
may be made to do the work Of the sink
drain. It can be kept Just below the
kitchen window. and have pipe from the
sing discharging into it. The barrel
should be emptied d lily upon some part
of the garden where it will do good by
means of the fertilizing matter it contains.
The house well and cistern should be
carefully cleaned out and guarded against
the influx of any noXious fluids from the
out house or manure piles. 1t is often
noticed that the water is not clear for a GER
tain length of time after the cleaning Of
the well. This trouble may be remedied
by emptying few pounds of boraX into
the well.
The throwing out of Stops around the
house should be prohibited on every we'll
ordered farm. as the practice Is very apt
to lead TO disease among the members of
the family.
Good sanitation is necessary in and
around the stock barns and sheds. for I'M

Phere of the home surroundings must of
necessity be tainted all summer Again.

Mr. Gladstone admOnishes the wo rking-
men that there may come time
when labor will prove too strong for
capital and may use its strength unjustly.
but capital will surely hold its own.
OF course it will. because capital is
force, and in contest between force and
sentiment the latter is going to get the
worst of it. Capital can shrink into its
shell. if necessary. Money that should be
employed in business or manufacturing
may be retired to the vaults of the bank
Once there it cannot be reached except by
Il breach Of the paece, which every Gov
eminent is compelled from its very exist
ence to prevent.
We cannot legisIate men into a condi-
ton of good morals or prosperity. The
situation is dependent upon the ordinary
restrictions of human endeavor. No law
can be made which will give one news
paper reporter. doctor or lawyer as much
hire as another The compensation must
depend upon the skill of the individual
and the necessity for employing him. If
no such necessity exists, then nobody has
to give up the money lie demands for his
culture, skill and experience. 1t is re-
markable and not very encouraging fact
that the mental development and effort are
such as are not protected 10y organizs-
lions, while those which are now turning
the world topsy-turvy may only necessitate
a certain degree Of mechanical deXterity
not at all dependent upon any mental
advancement.
The most intelligent class of wage-work-
e-s, excepting probably the railroad
engineers, must take their chances III the
labor market, and sell to whoever will
buy, while the man who can simply drive
nail has strong association at his
back
Hard, say we? Yes. the condition is
infinitely hard. 1t seems to be true and
it is true that every man willing to work
for his living should be given a chance to
earn living but whenever his interests
conduct with the police power he must
succumb to the inevitable Hard? 1t is
the most oppressive of all laws, this law of
supplying and demand labor, but so long
as human brain and Drawn are a matter of
merchandise it will be subject to the laws
of trade, and there is no way by which
they can be made superior to other articles
of barter and sale.
Yet the former is not so badly off after
all, for he is not obliged to place his capac-
Ity in the balance with the incapacity of
another, and his compensation Is not
guaged 10y Il common level of the majority
average.
1t is queer question this labor and
capital matter, and though the latter has
not got all the power, the former has not
got all the justice on its side.
